Life Goes On | Wyatt Lykensen

Chapter 21

The last few months of school went by extremely fast for A-Lora. It was already the first week of summer and the girl didn't know what to do with herself.

She had gotten so used to her school routine and having no routine at all was new to her.

Back on Sidara, she didn't have to worry about routines as each day was a routine in itself composed of different yet similar task since she didn't have to go to school.

A-Lora's spent most of her first week of summer at home with Amelia and Gadget. She was doing her best to distract herself from the fact that even in human form, her braids were starting to turn white.

Luckily for A-Lora, her braids in human form were a mix of a few different shades of brown and adding in hints of white to her roots and ends  wasn't something many people were able to pick up on.

Unfortunately though, A-Lora knew deep down, that she must have been loosing her stardust as she had no actual way of keeping in contact with her people. That thought scared her as it meant that one day in the future, she'd loose all hope of ever being able to get back in contact with the aliens.

As of right now, A-Lora had only hopped that the time it takes for her to fully loose her stardust would occur in her older ages where she could pass of her white hair as ageing. So in-between that time and now, she would still have a greater chance of finding someway to contact Sidara and hopefully see her mother again.

That morning, A-Lora was up later than usual still trying to find some sort of schedule to stick to. She had made plans with Bree and Addison the previous day to hang out.

She grabbed her phone off of her nightstand and checked the time reading 11:37. A-Lora came to like her phone a lot. It wasn't as useful as her luma lens but had it's perks.

After spending much time learning how to use it, A-Lora found herself only really using her phone to contact people and play silly games every once in a while.

"Well I suppose it is time to go." A-Lora let's out a small sigh. She heads over to her closet picking out an outfit for the day.

After getting dressed, A-Lora makes her way to the kitchen to find it empty. Assuming that Amelia had left and begun her day, A-Lora grabs her house key from the island making her way to the front door.

She pats Gadget on the head as she leaves the house making her way towards Addison's house. A-Lora wasn't entirely sure what she'd be doing with Addison and Bree but was greatful to be able to spend time with the two girls nonetheless.

As A-Lora made her way through the small town that was Seabrook, she took in everything around her. A-Lora came to love walking as it was a peaceful time where she could focus her attention on the things around her.

Racing up the steps, A-Lora excitedly rings Addison's doorbell. She smiles upon meeting the familiar face of Addison's mother Missy.

"Happy greetings Ms.Missy!" Missy smiles as she lets A-Lora into the house. She takes her shoes off by the door, before turning to face Missy.

"Hello Alora. It's good to see you again. Addison and Bree are up in her room. Have fun!" Missy says making her way further into the house.

Having somewhat memorized the layout of Addison's house from previous visits, A-Lora makes her way upstairs to Addison's room.

"Yeah! And that's why-" A-Lora makes her way into the room cutting off Addison.

"Hey Alora." Both girls call out simultaneously.

"Happy greetings you two. Have I interrupted?" A-Lora ask as she joins the two girls taking a spot on the bed across from them.

Addison let's out a small laugh, "Of course not. I was just telling Bree about my suitcase and how I'm all packed and ready to go."

"Ready to go for what? Are you leaving?" A-Lora frowns not liking the idea of her friend leaving.

"Oh yeah! Bree and I are going to cheer camp again this summer. We're leaving this weekend so I have everything I need packed amd ready."

"And oh my gosh Alora cheer camp is always so much fun. You should totally come." Bree smiles, excited at the prospect of having her two close friends with her.

"Uhh... I'm not sure." A-Lora begins to panic slightly. "I think it would be most beneficial for me to stay. This is only my first year here in Seabrook and my grandmother, would probably want me to stay close by."

A-Lora let's out a sigh as Bree and Addison give the girl sad smiles. "That's alright Alora, we'll see you that week before school starts back. And we can write to one another." Addison say's getting excited about the camp yet again.

"Okay! I do not know what you mean by write but I will learn and write to you as well!" A-Lora says getting excited as well.

The girls all laugh as they continue on hanging out. Deciding to stay in and watch movies instead of going out like  they had originally planned.

------

A-Lora had arrived home that night later than planned. She had watched movie after movie with the girls, with Addison and Bree doing their best to show the sheltered Alien all the best films they could think of. Answering all the questions A-Lora would ask about why something occurred the way it did, or why something didn't make sense to the girl.

She was glad to be friends with the two. They had been extremely accepting to A-Lora and put up with all of her strange behavior.

Upon opening the door, A-Lora was met with by an excited Gadget.
"Greetings old girl. Did you have an excellent day?" A-Lora gushes as she picks up the older dog, locking the door behind her.

Making her way through the house, A-Lora finds Amelia in the living room watching TV. "Late happy greetings Amelia. I apologize for returning so late."

Amelia turns to face A-Lora and smiles, "Hello honey. It's quite alright. Would you like to join me?"

Nodding excitedly, A-Lora plops down onto the couch next to Amelia. She folds in her legs placing Gadget on her lap as the three happily watch TV together for the remainder of the night.
