(( My NaNoWriMo Book ))
Chapter Four
High Flyin
Sarah had been reading All You Need to Know About the World for about an hour while Alex slept. Alex finally awoke and saw Sarah reading, “Hey, find anywhere good to go?” she asked smiling, “Yeah! There’s this really great beach called Barceloneta beach, it gives parasailing lessons and all that good stuff!” Alex’s face lightened up when she heard parasailing, “I’ve always wanted to be a bird!” she smiled even wider, “And it IS my birthday!” she said jumping out of bed, “Aunt Mildew will never let you go up there, she’ll probably make something up like, ‘Young ladies should keep they’re feet on the ground!’ Or ‘If we were meant to fly, god would have given us wings!’” Sarah pointed out. “Well since this god she talks so much about didn’t, we’ll have to make due,” Alex said smiling and rubbing her hands together. “Oh no, I have a feeling this is gonna include me, cheesy outfits, and your dad,” Sarah said with a sigh while pulling a pillow over her head. “You got that right! Now c’mon!!!” Alex said grabbing Sarah’s’ arm and yanking her out of bed. Two hours later Alex, Sarah, Mildew, and Alex’s Mom and Dad were pushing their way through tourists in an attempt to get a good spot. “These dress shoes are killing me! Who wears dress shoes to the beach?” Sarah whispered to Alex, the girls were wearing pink and blue summer dresses with large sun hats, “Just go with it, I’ll give my dad the signal once we get further down the beach.” Alex said tugging on her dress. A moment later Alex put her hands together and flapped them like a birds wings, Alex’s dad winked and said to Alex’s mom, “Anne why don’t you and Mildred go get something to eat at that little cabana. Maybe bring us some sandwiches?” “Ok. Let’s go Aunt Mildred.” Alex’s mom replied taking Mildews arm. Once they were a good distance away Alex and Sarah ripped off their summer dresses to reveal new wet suits, threw their sun hats into the air, and kicked off their dress shoes to. “Ok let’s go girls!” Alex’s dad said tossing them each a pair of flip flops. They ran off towards a large cabana with several boats parked in the back. About fifteen minutes later the girls were being helped out with straps and parachutes and such, they planted their feet firmly on the ground as they were told and waited for them to start. Anne and Mildew came around the corner with sandwiches in their arms. Mildew dropped the sandwiches and ran up to Alex, “What in the world are you doing!!??” She yelled, but you could barley hear her over the boat motor. “Stop!! I command you to stop that boat this instant!!” Mildew yelled to the boatmen, but it was too late, the boat took off, jolting Alex and Sarah sky high, they were yelling at the top of their lungs. After a few seconds they stopped yelling…yet they heard someone else yelling, they looked down and saw Aunt Mildred being dragged on the surface of the water, her foot had gotten stuck in some rope and she was being pulled with the boat, her bun had been pulled undone and she was hanging on desperately to her purse, she was yelling at the top of her lungs, “STOP THE BOAT!! STOP THE BOAT YOU HOOLAGINS!!” Alex and Sarah’s eyes went wide, they didn’t know what to do…but Mildew didn’t seem hurt….and they didn’t really wanna stop their little ride because they knew Mildew wouldn’t let them try again... so the girls shrugged to each other and yelled at the top of their lungs in excitement.
