#Tbt: Part One I wrote this when I was nine. So no judging, k? Just thought I would share it while going through old projects on my computer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I wish none of this had ever happened," I said, breaking my cookie in half. No matter how good it looked, I just didn't feel like eating it. We were sitting in a corner of the hold, which was lit by a light that Sunny herself had made with her light power. "Hi, kids," said Miley, coming over to our corner and sitting between Maidie and Beck. There were tears on Princess's face, but she wiped them away when she saw Sunny. Miley is always calm, even during the hard times. "Miley!" Maidie had a look that said, There's Something You Forgot, And I'm Going To Remind You Now, Because You Should Have Remembered It Before Now. "What is it, Maidie?" asked Miley. My cousin looked terribly confused. "Did you forget you had weather power?" said Maidie. "You can change the weather and stop this storm." Miley's face turned pale, and she looked away. I thought I heard her say something, but if she did, it was drowned out by the howling of the wind. Miley never used her powers, probably because it reminded her of her mother. But her sadness didn't last long, because according to Ms. Brown, a spell was put on The Sunset, which makes everyone on it forget about all the sad things that happened to them. Maidie looked guilty. The last thing she would ever want would be for her favorite relative and best friend to be unhappy. The all clear bell rang, and we dragged ourselves back up to our rooms. Before I knew it, I was back in bed, still unable to sleep. "Stop worrying," I thought. "Tomorrow you're going to have lots of fun at your new school, and you'll be a very good student. Be sensible, Bloom." "That's right," I said out loud. "Think about the good things that are going to happen to you, not the bad things. Now go to sleep so you won't be tired tomorrow." "What did you say?" asked Beck sleepily as she sat up in bed. "Nothing," I said, and we both went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and looked around. It was mostly dark, but the sky had turned the color blue that I always thought looked eerie and quiet. I tiptoed over to the closet to get dressed. It was hard to get ready for school without waking anybody up. I carefully opened the closet door. Then I pulled out the clothes I had picked out the night before. Then I carefully closed the door and put the clothes on top of my dresser. "Bloom?!" said a surprised voice behind me. I whirled around. There was Maidie, in the kitchen turning pennies into breakfast food. "Maidie?!" I said, surprised. "What are you doing up this early?" "I'm always up this early," she said, turning back to her pennies. Then she looked back at me. "What are YOU doing up this early?" she asked me. "I just woke up," I said. Then, suddenly I felt closer to my sister. "Boy, that was a weird night," I said, sitting in one of the chairs. "Yeah," said Maidie. "I wish I wasn't so outspoken. "You're not outspoken," I said, trying to make her feel better. "At least not always." Maidie smiled and handed me a waffle. It was hot beyond hot, so I cooled it off before taking a bite. After I was finished, I went to cool the rest of the waffles while Maidie ate her breakfast. We McCrarys like to make our powers useful. I took a deep breath, relaxed my muscles, and blew.
