I woke up. I opened my eyes and smelled a familiar sent. I looked to my left and saw my nightstand with a hamburger sitting on it. I sat up and saw my room. Was I back on Earth? Was this another kidnapping? I stood up and noticed I was in my party dress that I had worn to the party I went to the night before the whole Mars thing had happened.
I put on my regular clothes. It was Saturday, so I didn't have to worry about school. I walked into the living room to see my family watching TV.
"You're up!" My brother looked up at me.
"Yes, yes I am." I went into the kitchen and got some cereal. I sat down at the table and ate. I needed to figure out what the heck happened.
Just then, I heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" I yelled. I opened the front door and saw something unexpected.
"Hello, Mo."
"Mini? What are you-"
"Moira, do you know this boy?" My mom walked up behind me.
"Yes, ma'am, she does know me. I'm Mini. We're good friends."
"Well then, won't you come in?"
"I'd love to, Mrs. Thomas." He came in. He was in my house. Why was he in my house? I guess I'd find out soon enough.
"Moira, would you make Mini some coffee?"
"Mini, want some coffee?" I asked him.
"That sounds amazing!" He smiled.
I made coffee for the both of us and sat down at the table where my cereal was. Mini sat down next to me.
"We need you to come back," He whispered.
"What are you two talking about?" My brother stuck hus head in between us.
"Mini, this is Caleb." I introduced my little brother.
"Hello, Caleb. I'm Mini. Nice to meet you. Your sister and I were discussing private things."
"Oh, ok. Mom, Mo's got a boyfriend!"
"Caleb! I do not!"
Mini looked upset. I think I hurt him.
"Moira, what is this about?" My dad asked.
"Ah, Mr. Thomas. I was wondering, may I have your permission to date Mo?"
"I guess so. If you hurt her in any way, shape, or form, I'll hurt you twenty times worse."
"Thank you, sir."
To be continued.... Maybe....
