A few weeks later I really wanted to go outside. The last time I went outside, it was amazing and beautiful. I was outside having so much fun until sparkles began emerging off the ends of my finger tips into the sky, the air was full of sparkles. I felt a strange feeling, and I rushed back into the house. I began thinking “wow what just happened? What should I do? Should I tell Mom?” I told Mom about it and she said OK don’t go outside.

In a week or so I would be approaching my thirteenth birthday. I was ready to ask Mom who Arica was. I couldn’t wait for the things she was planning to tell me all of my life on this day. After so long for waiting my birthday finally came.

Mom said, “For your birthday we need to surprise you, so I’m going to put this blindfold on your eyes.”

“OK,” I said with excitement. Once my Mom had blindfolded me she gathered my friends up and my two younger sisters. She brought me outside and led every one including me around until I heard the car doors opening, everyone was laughing, and I could hear them climbing into the back seats of the minivan. My Mom drove around a little ways then stopped. She helped me out of the car and led me around. I felt Mom lean over me and I heard a door open in front of me, it was loud and I heard things being knocked over. I could smell fresh cooked pizza, it sounded like a party and people were laughing. Mom pulled the blindfold off and I realized we were going to go bowling for my birthday. People were rolling bowling balls down the alley, I began jumping up and down saying, “Thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome, but not so loud,”  Mom said, with a happy smile.   

Once we paid for the games we were given some weird shoes, they said it would ruin the floors to use normal shoes, so we used the weird looking shoes. My youngest sister, Lila was the first to bowl. She was so excited when we had arrived, she always wanted to go bowling.

“Wow, your good, Margo” said Leona.

Margo and Lila were not strong enough, each of them had to use a ball holder. “Wow! In two tries she got all the pins down,” I said. Once we were done bowling, Leona had won. “How are you so good?” I said.

Once we got into the car we thanked Mom for taking us bowling and went to my house. We sang happy birthday once we had gotten home, my cake was was beautiful and there were white gems on the top of it. My mom passed cake out to everybody, and I loved all of my presents, but that was nothing compared to the things that I was going to learn later that day. After we got done singing and opening presents, each of my friends moms had come to pick them up. My best friend, Leona, my cousin, Samantha, (witch was complaining the whole time) and my other friend, Janet (she always could find the good side of things) came to my party. Once each of them left I said, “Bye thanks for coming, that was fun and I am glad you could make it.”

Once all of my friends had left Mom said, “I need to tell you something, it is about those rings, and who you really are.”

“OK,” I said, I had been waiting for this moment for a very long time, about a month's time.

She continued, “There was this young lady who was your age. One night when she was asleep she had a dream that her mother was sleeping and the room was flooding with the brightest light she ever saw, and when the light began to fade, the young girl looked at her mother’s bed and she was gone. She woke up confused, ‘Mom!’ She shouted.

“Her mom came in as fast as she could and said, ‘What? What’s wrong?’

“The daughter said, ‘Oh, it was just a nightmare.’
