Making Time

Chapter 5

They moved in with Angelina. She was pretty cool. Libertyy was only five when they first met, while Angelina was the same age.

They used to do absolutely everything together. Go to the park, go to the mall, swim, bike, you name it, they did it.

One time they made a huge pirate ship out of cardboard, dressed up as pirates and battled against invisible enemies.

Another time, they made a fort with pillows and chairs. They physically lived in there for a week. Jennifer would have to slide food under there every so often. They had water under there, too. However, it's still a mystery how they managed to go to the bathroom.

They were like sisters, inseparable. Until, one day, Angelina had to move away. Or Angel- as they called her- had to move to hot Arizona weather.

It was rough for poor Libster, but after quite some time, they are finally reunited.

"Libster!" Screamed Angelina.

"Angel!" Libertyy screamed back.

They hugged before going into Angel's room.

"So... what's up?" Said Angel.

"Nothing much."

"Oh please, something is up."

"Are you getting suspicious of me?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Well, I heard that on your way here you saved everyone's life."

"I just... have great sight."

"That was a sad excuse."

"It's just the truth."

"How do I know you didn't time travel?" Angelina said jokingly.

"How... how did you know?" Libertyy asked.

"Tha-that was a joke."

Libertyy looked embarrassed saying that.

"Are you hiding something?"

"Nothing." Libertyy said, avoiding eye contact.

"Is that it? Can you time travel? Because I'll tell you right now, that's the worst lie I've ever heard."

"Y-yes."

"Funny."

They stood in silence until Libertyy made metal notes in her head.

Five seconds later, a bird starts to poke the window.

A crow lands on a small platform attached to Angelina's window. It's filled with plants and such. It crawls its way up to the window and taps it.

Okay. Twenty seconds later, her phone vibrates. A text, I presume.

Thirty seconds, a motorcycle drives by.

Forty. A knock on the door.

Fifty. Loud laughter coming from down stairs. My mom and aunt are talking. Geez, they talk loudly.

Libertyy grabs her clock and rewinds it a few minutes.

"Are you hiding something?" Angel asked.

"Nothing."

"Is that it? Can you time travel? Because I'll tell you right now, that's the worst lie I've ever heard."

"Fine. I'll prove you wrong." Libertyy said.
