MyStreet: Starlight (OC Character Added)

Her Dad

"Aaaaaah... this is the life." I say happily, dipping my toes in the warm water with Lucinda and Kim.

"You have no idea how much I needed this vacation." Lucinda agrees.

"You said it." Kim says happily.

Lucinda laughs, and Kim looks at her, confused. "Huh?"

"It's just---I'm not really sure what you do, Kim." Lucinda says. "Do you work, or go to school, or...?"
"I'm...a yoga instructor." Kim says.

"I thought you worked at the mall." I say. "Garroth met you on his mall day."

"Well, I did, but I, um, didn't like that job much." Kim says. "So...Yoga!"

"What---really?" Lucinda asks excitedly.

"Yep! Or, I was, before we came on vacation..." Kim says. "I left the studio I was with."

"You did? Why?" Lucinda asks.

Kim gives an annoyed glance in both our directions. "Yes..."

"I mean, maybe I had something to do with that..." Ghost says.

"Really?" I ask, annoyed. "Come on, Ghost!"

"Ghost has been really annoying!" Kim complains.

"Mm-hm." Lucinda says. "Well, I suppose being possessed isn't fun at all."

"It doesn't seem like you two get along." I note.

"Oh, we try, but---" Kim starts.

"I don't like yoga!" Ghost snaps.

"I see." Lucinda says.

"Hey, Kim. Speaking of which. Do you realize you've been living with Ghost for more than a year now?" I ask.

"Yeah. So?"

"You don't think it's weird that we call Ghost, Ghost?" I prod.

"I mean.... Ghost is... a g---"

"I mean a name." I say. "What is Ghost's name?"

"OH!" Ghost says in surprise, and turns nervously away. "Ummmmmm..."

"Come to think about it, I don't even know that much about Ghost." Kim says.

"Ohh, HEY, how about we go swimming?" Ghost suggests. "Huh? YEAH! Let's do that." She jumps inside the pool, leaving Kim spluttering.

"Oh, Ghost, you are avoiding questions yet again." Kim accuses.

"Answering to people isn't my style." Ghost says stubbornly. Then she notices a pink ball floating behind her. "Huh?" She looks around to see she's completely surrounded by big pink balls.

"What?" Kim exclaims. "What is this?"

"It looks like the pool is full of balls." I observe.

"Wha---? How did this happen?" Kim asks.

"Werewolves maybe." Lucinda suggests.

"MMM!" Kim groans. "This is the fifth time this has happened! I wanna know who's been doing this! I wanna give them a piece of my mind!"

"Same." Lucinda says.

"But I doubt anyone's going to fess up to doing it." I butt in.

"UGH!" Kim says, annoyed. "I'm coming out." She tries to inch her way past the balls, but they bounce around her gleefully, trapping her in. "Huh? I---I can't get out!"
