Little Lynch

A Much Better Surprise

Back to Zanni's POV

I pulled away from Rocky's hug and looked up at him.

"But you did say that there would be a surprise," I said with a smile. Rocky smiled back.

"I did, didn't I..." he trailed off. "Follow me," Rocky whispered. It was the ticket, I was going to go with them!

I followed Rocky to the kitchen. It seemed no one was home, but there was a really big box on the kitchen island. I was happy, but I knew it wasn't the ticket. I knew there would be no way I could get lucky enough to get a ticket on a flight that the boys and Rydel almost couldn't get on.

"That is for you." Rocky told me. I walked up to it and tore the box open. There was another, smaller box inside. I opened that one, revealing another! After I opened that one, there was a very small box. I took it out and took the lid off. Inside was a piece of paper, which I took out and read. It was a plane ticket! I couldn't believe it.

"Wow!" I managed to get out. "Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, thank mum and dad." Rocky replied. I was already packed but I didn't have a carry-on. So I went upstairs and packed one. It was already about 8:00pm, and everybody had had dinner, without me. They had gone out to ice cream to celebrate the tour, without me. Maybe the tour wasn't going to be a fun as I thought. Maybe I wanted to stay here with my new friend.

"Zanni, come here, please!" Rocky yelled. I walked down. "Can you grab your stuff and put it in the van, or do you need help?"

"I'll probably need help." Rocky and I walked back to my room. I kneeled down by my bed and pulled out my suitcase from under my bed.

"Here it is!" I said, straining from the large suitcase my arms weren't quite strong enough to pull. Rocky laughed.

"You're so tiny, it's cute," he told me. I glared at him, but couldn't contain the laughter. We laughed as we took my suitcase down the hall. Rocky carried the suitcase down the stairs and into the garage, where the car was. Rocky put my suitcase into the back of the van.

"That it?" he asked. I nodded. "Hey, look who's home!" Rocky called as Ross and Rydel's car pulled into the driveway.

"Yay, Little One's made up!" Ellington said. They used to call me Little One until they stopped paying attention to me. The nickname made me smile.

"Find what we left for you?" Ross asked. I nodded.

Later that night, Rocky and I ate dinner, and it was chicken (yay, we only have this every other night lol) and then I sat on the couch to watch TV. Our flight was at 2 am, meaning we had to leave around midnight. Talk about bad timing! I began to feel tired around 10:00pm.

"Tired already?" Riker asked. I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Night, Little One." he whispered. And with that, my eyes fluttered shut and I fell asleep.
