Falling in Love with You

Jessica's Arrival

(Jessica's POV)

I closed my purple suitcase and smiled. I was excited. So excited. Actually, beyond excited! I couldn't wait to see Kinkow again. I haven't been there since I was ten and I heard they were some big changes! Kinkow had new kings, the sons of the King Kunu and Queen Annabella. Boomer and Brady were they were their names I think. I heard they were twins, but actually looked nothing alike!

Mikayla told me a lot about them. Like how much trouble they caused and sometimes how childish they acted and stuff like that. But I couldn't not notice how much she talked about that Brady guy. It was stuff like how goofy he was and how his flirty and cheesy comments could annoy her, but she talked way too often about him. Did she like this guy? That would be new. Mikayla was never into this love stuff. Which is kind of sad, she is actually a very pretty girl, isn't she? Anyway, whether she liked him or not, I couldn't wait to meet these kings. They seemed like a lot of fun!

After I told goodbye to my parents, I walked into our backyard to wait for Uncle Mason to arrive. I looked up at the sky to see if the hot air balloon was in the view, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I sighed and sat on my suitcase, waiting for him to come.

Ten minutes passed and I finally saw the hot balloon in the sky. I immediately jumped up and waved, my lips curving into a smile. I could see Uncle Mason waving at me as well and when they landed successfully on the ground and Mason jumped out of balloon, I immediately attacked him with a hug.

"Uncle Mason! I missed you so much!" I said as he hugged me back. God, he was so strong. He almost choked me! But honestly, I didn't care. I just missed him so much!

"Jessica! How's my other baby girl been?" I giggled. I knew that his baby girl was Mikayla since she was his daughter and all, but I just loved when he called me like that. It was so sweet!

"Great, thanks Uncle Mason!" I said as we pulled away. "And what about you and Mikayla? And the kings? I can't wait to see them!"

He chuckled, "Oh, I know you can't. And we've been great too. I'm sure you're going to love Kinkow with the kings, but you still got to be careful," he told me with raised eyebrows.

"Is the Dark Side still there?" I asked. He nodded and I let out a sigh. I never liked the Dark Side. It was creepy, especially the creatures that lived there. The last time I was on Kinkow, the Tarantula people attacked the castle, but luckily Uncle Mason and the guards fought the off and so everything was alright. Ever since them I was forbidden to go near the Dark Side alone, but I didn't mind it at all.

"So, are we ready to go?" Mason asked. I grinned.

"Yes! I'm so excited!" I exclaimed and Mason chuckled again. He helped me with my suitcase and later me with getting into the balloon. Before I knew it, we were rising up from the ground which made me even more excited, because I seriously couldn't wait to see Kinkow again.

It was a long journey, but after twelve hours I could finally see the swirl island again. I smiled. Six years and it still looked the same. Seeing the Dark Side gave me goose-bumps, but I just shrugged it off.

We landed in the plaza. With Mason's help again, I jumped off the balloon. I looked around. Absolutely nothing has changed there. The Giki Kiki statue was still there and so was the ruby. The ruby. I remembered when Mikayla told me about the kings' first day there and how they almost destroyed the island by breaking it. What a funny story!

Taking my eyes of Giki-Kiki and turning my head somewhere else, I saw two boys. One was dark skinned with short dark brown hair and the other one was had raven hair with light skin. I have to admit, the other one looked kind of cute. And they were both wearing crowns on their heads, so that had to be the kings!
