I Wanna Be a Starship Ranger

The Move

Chapter 1- The Move

"Well here we are, our new home!" my mom said as she set a box down on the counter. I was less than enthusiastic about leaving old house and all my friends. I tried to ignore my parents the whole ride there while listening to my favorite songs on my ipod. I just walked up the stairs, holding a box full of my stuff and listening to A Very Potter Musical. I looked at each of the rooms and chose one with a lot of space and a large window. I set the box down on the floor, opened it, and looked at what was inside.  I had packed all my favorite things myself so the movers wouldnt destroy anything. I had my StarKid posters, AVPM ron doll i had made myself, and lots of other decorations perfectly protected. "Hey, i know you aren't happy about the move but i'm sure you will grow to like it." my mom said behind me.

"I hate it. i wish i could have stayed with Katie." i said.

"You know how i felt about that. Her parents are divorced and you would be constantly switching houses with her. You are better off here with us. At least pretend to be happy for your brother's sake." mom said hugging me. 

"No i wouldn't, i told you we would be sharing an apartment together for college. Now i have to choose another college thanks to dad." I complained.

"Emma, not another word about it. Your father said you could go to any college except in New York. You will find somewhere better, I just know it." she said.

She went back to unpacking and i went to look out the window. Chicago looked very different from New York. I missed the tall bulidings and loud noises i grew up with. Just then some movers were bringing my furniture in so i went downstairs and outside for a walk. I grabbed my pink sunglasses and ipod then took off down the road. There were little kids playing on the sidewalk and an older man water some flowers. I was boping my head to "Get back to Hogwarts" when i saw some girls about my age dancing and singing in the grass. I pulled my earbuds out and heard "Granger Danger" playing from a nearby speaker. it took me a minute to realize the girls were dancing and acting out AVPM. I lifted my glasses to my head and walked over to them. "Hey, I'm Emma, i just moved here. You guys like Starkid?" I asked. 

"Sure! Greatest group of people ever! I'm Hannah and this is Whitney." the brunette said. 

She was wearing a red shirt with an R written on the front, jeans and i blue sweatband. The blonde girl, whitney was wearing a white dress shirt, green tie, and jeans. They looked like Ron and Draco from AVPM. I pulled my blue sweatband out of my pocket and they started jumping up and down. We sat down in Hannah's yard and started talking Starkid and who was our favorite starkid guy. Hannah's was Joe Walker, Whitney's was Tyler and mine of course is Joey Richter. I've always had a thing for guys with dark hair and since i saw AVPM i was in love him. I told them i would invite them over when my room was finished so they could see all my starkid stuff. So far i could tell living here wouldn't be a total loss after all.
