Like a Fairytale

Going to America

I was ready. I couldn't believe it! I was now sitting in a plane ready to go to America. I couldn't help but smile widely. We'd be going to America! I was so excited. I got the window seat so it made me even more excited. Tom had fallen asleep half way through the flight. I was to excited about this. It'd be a long flight so I decided to read and little bit I was finished reading the book. Didn't take long. I then took a nap.
"Mommy can I have it?!" I asked pointing at the small toy in the window.
"Maybe sweetheart. You know me and daddy are short on money" she said as we continued to walk down the street.
"Come on Alice" my father said happily as we followed quickly behind him towards the train station. We were going to New York for a little bit. To see a musical. My father scooped me into his arms and carried me onto the train. We got in the seats and my mother sat beside my father. Alice and George. That was their names. I was named after my great grandmother. I was so happy. We got to New York and soon we were at the musical. We took our seats and the musical started. The Lion King. The music was amazing. I missed those times when we went to New York and watched a musical. We've went to a lot of them. That night was the worst night ever. After we got home I went to sleep. Soon I woke up to see flames. My father rushed into the room and carried me down the stairs. His foot fell through the one step and he dropped me.
"RUN ELLIE!" He yelled I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. I got outside and the house was in flames and both my parents were inside. I couldn't do anything to get to them. I heard my mother scream for help. The fire trucks arrived and put out the fire but my parents we dead. They were gone and would never return. They promised they would never leave me. Now I'm alone.
Someone was shaking my shoulder and I opened my eyes to see Tom. He smiled at me. "Come on darling. We're here" he said unbuckling his seatbelt. I quickly unbuckled mine. I was really excited about being in America once again. 11 years! It's been 11 years. I quickly grabbed my bag. Tom was ahead of me when we were coming out of the plane and down that little hallway that leads to the gate area. I ran ahead of Tom and exited the hallway.
"You're fast" he said out of breath.
"I'm just excited" I said smiling.
"Let's go" he said as we got a taxi. California was beautiful. I wish we could've brought Dylan. He would've loved to be back here. He had rented an apartment for the time we'd be here. When we got to the apartment I ran inside and put my bag on the ground. I jumped onto the couch making Tom laugh.
"You are so silly, Ellie" he said messing up my hair.
"So when do you start filming?" I asked.
"Tomorrow" he said. I gave him a big hug. He wrapped his arms around me. He told me to get unpacked. I went to my room and started unpacking. After I was finished I walked out into the living room and let out a loud scream. He dyed his hair. It was now raven black. He let out his golden laugh at my reaction.
"Did I scare you?" He asked as I sat down next to him.
"I didn't expect to come out and see that" I said pointing to his hair. This was gonna be a big adventure.
