Karbie: Forever Adventures

Afsaneh

This story is based on my own research... I wanted to do a story about it, with no one represented being actual people. If there's anything inaccurate, please let me know!

"Ahhhhh, look! I can see it! I can see it! We're here! Finally...!"

"Sooo coooool! Look! There's the Washington Monument! And the Lincoln! And the Jefferson! Aw, Man, I can't see the White House from here"

"Well, here we go again... Gosh, I can't believe this is really happening... Another one of my daughters, growing up and moving away. Can't time just stop already?"

"Oh, George, shouldn't you be used to this by now?"

".........."

"Well, I'm not! Seriously, I'm gonna be the only Roberts daughter left! Why does everyone have to move so far away?"

"Oh, Chelsea, it's gonna be fine... It's only a five hour flight from LA to DC. Just like Barbie and Skipper were in New York"

"Yeah? Now they're five and a half hours away in Hawai'i! That's even further!"

"Well, either way, help your father keep an eye out for a parking space. I swear, it's like the whole city is moving in today... It's crazy, I tell you!"

"Yeah, well, that's why it's called 'Move In Weekend', mom..."

The Roberts family squabbling continued for the entire forty-five hour drive from Malibu, California to Washington, DC; between stops and sleeping in Denver and Indianapolis, it was one heck of a three day trek. And to add to the tense situation, they were carting along a whole host of belongings that the middle youngest needed for her four or five-year tenure at the college of her choice on the East Coast.

Stacie Roberts had officially graduated high school and was now set to move into her new life at Georgetown University, smack dab in the heart of Washington, DC. Beginning her International Politics Degree with a focus in the National Security Program, the typically energetic and competitive younger sister was the most stoked and excited she had ever been in recent years.

CIA here I come!

"There! A spot! Grab it, dad!", shouted Chelsea, pointing eagerly towards an empty space that seemed big enough for the family camper. Gratefully, as luck would have it– extreme luck, in every sense of the word–, the parking spot was right in front of the dorm Stacie needed to unload into.

And, it just so happened, that a certain three family members were already waiting outside.

Barbie, Ken, and Skipper had elected to fly to DC rather than drive alongside the family. With work and whatnot getting in the way, they flew out from Honolulu... yesterday morning! After a dozen and a half hours traveling, including a six hour layover in San Francisco, the trio of travelers were unbelievably wiped when they arrived in DC at the break of day... this morning. However, just as they were dozing off on the front steps of the dorm room, Barbie lit up and stood, waving, as the familiar pink recreational vehicle came into eyesight, her jet lag left behind.

"Look! There they are! They made it!"

"Wow, just in time, too", Skipper complained, standing to crack her neck and blink away the impending sleep from her bloodshot eyes, "Took them long enough"

Ken rose, as well, with the girls. Despite his jaw-cracking yawn, he was smiling brightly as the Roberts' camper parked with ease, making sure to ignore the annoyed honks from other vehicles that had eyed up the magical spot.
