MyStreet: Starlight (OC Character Added)

In My Dearest Memories

(Pic above is Violet's outfit for pretty much this entire book :D )

I press my nose against the window, watching the beautiful islands creep into view. My breath fogs the window quickly, and I rub it away a thousand times before I finally stop just to watch Starlight approach.

"I cun't be'ive we'we 'ewe!" I squeal with my face still pressed against the glass.

Mr. Lycan watches me, amused. "I can see why Aphmau is friends with you." He says, chuckling.

I pull my face away, grinning. "We do share some qualities. She's probably going to smash her face against the window too."

Zane chuckles. "You know she will."

I put my hands on the window this time, watching the island grow closer beneath us. "I can't believe we're actually here." I whisper, enchanted. "It's bigger and brighter than I ever imagined!"

Garroth giggles. "Baby sister, you haven't even touched the ground yet!"

"I KNOW!" I sit back in my seat, not taking my eyes off the flowing teal water. "But I've wanted to come here for all my life. I can't believe---"

"---we're here!" Every single person on the plane finishes.

I flush red. "I guess I have been saying it for a while, haven't I?"

"YES!" Everyone says. Even Ghost repeats it in Kim!

"Ghost!" I complain. "Even you?"

She just laughs.

"We'll be arriving soon." Mr. Lycan informs us. "Just sit back and let the turbulence go away. It will stop momentarily."

We all nod and seatbelt ourselves in. Now with nothing to do, I pull my phone out and slide earbuds in, grinning when a song I love comes on.

1, 2, 1, 2, 3. I've been feeling so small... watch the clock ticking on the wall... but tonight I'm letting it go... spend my coin for show. I'm gonna be myself, or I could be someone else. No one's stoppin' me now---

Garroth pulls my earbuds out. "We're almost done landing. Start packing up!" He says excitedly. I laugh.

"Wow, that didn't take long." But I do as he says and gather my stuff together. Soon we land, and Mr. Lycan takes us to an extravagant house, which he informs us we'll be sharing with our entire group.

"I CALL LUCINDA AND VIOLET!" Kim hollers, then flushes. "Sorry. I just want to share with them instead of Garroth or someone."

"Is it because I snore?"

"THANK IRENE I BROUGHT EARPLUGS!" Zane screams.

Mr. Lycan laughs. "Don't worry. The boys will be over here," he points. "And the girls over there." He points again. "And Aaron and Aphmau will be upstairs should anyone need to interrupt their reuniting."

He gives us a look that suggests we better not interrupt.

Mrs. Lycan comes inside. "Dear, stop scaring them. They need to welcome Aphmau and Aaron."

"Where is Aaron, anyway?" I ask. "Is he going to arrive with Aphmau and Melissa?"

"No, he's already here." Mr. Lycan says. "He's somewhere on the island. Getting ready for his last session. Or possibly trying to sneak away so he can greet Aphmau when she gets here."

"Probably the latter." Mrs. Lycan says. "Why don't we go find him?" She leaves the house and we all file in behind her, leaving our stuff behind. After roaming around the bright sunshine for a few minutes, Mrs. Lycan stops. "Aaron! Your friends are here!"
