We went to the pool that weekend. As I glided around the pool in my flamingo floatie, I watched the clouds pass by. Some of the clouds reminded me of suns! I imagined myself floating around at the crystal clear, blue waters at the beach in only about two weeks. Then my mind thought back to when Franny said, “Maybe you’re a natural. Maybe they’ll love you. Maybe they will consider you- Queen Scottie,”
Queen Scottie. I had to admit, that had a nice ring to it.
When we came home from the pool that day, I showered and went into the girls’ room. Haylynn and I were playing a game together on our tablets when Mom opened the door. “Hi girls. Tomorrow is Saturday, and we are going to visit Paige and Franky,” she said, and walked away.
“Yay!” Haylynn shouted. Paige was her friend, and I was best friends with Paige’s younger brother, Franky.
The next morning, we woke up at 5am to get ready. I didn’t like waking up so early, but seeing Franky was so worth it. We drove for five hours, and by the time we got there, it was already noon. While Haylynn and Paige painted, or whatever they were doing, I borrowed Franky’s bike, and Franky used Paige’s. I told him about our vacation, and everything I learned about flamingos from Franny. I told him how Franny thinks I can be a flamingo natural, but I don’t think so. And I told him about Queen Scottie. After the long story, Franky and I took a break from biking and drank some water. “I never knew why that’s what flamingos ate. Interesting. But, about being a flamingo natural, I think you can do it. They’ll take to you instantly,” He said. We biked back to his house, and found Paige and Haylynn playing hopscotch on the driveway. “FRANKY!! You didn’t ask before taking my bike!!” Paige shouted, and helped us off the bikes. Haylynn laughed. Franky and I ran back inside and played video games. After an hour or so, Haylynn came back inside and ate some pizza for lunch with us. Th four of us painted for a while, then Mom said it was time to go. It was a long ride home, and I fell asleep. We went to a restaurant for dinner so we can have a normal dinnertime. I fell asleep in the car. I guess Mom and Dad brought me to bed in the girls’ room, because the next morning, I woke up in bed. Wait- I never showered.
