Waves caressed the summer air in a fleeting moment. They played a game of cat and mouse by the shore, the sun laughing on their backs and playing with the tides. The wind blew back Kairu Rigby's hair as she drove to the beach, running from the crystiline waters Kairu was about to indulge in. "I can't wait to get some of that american attidude in me!" She said over a loudly playing american CD, adjusting her oversided glasses. She wore a simple romper of a vertically striped red-and-white motif, white buttons down the front and a v-neckhalter exposing her pale, freckled shoulders. Jewlry dangled from her ears, a simple earring consisting of a green chain, acrylic cherries, and a post. Her hair was tied back messily and was held up by a cherry-print headband. "Oh, here's our exit!" She said, pressing her black lubu heels on the gas pedal. "There's the water!" She pointed to the glistening ocean in front of them. "Beautiful, isin't it?" She asked her passenger. "So when you gonna give it up? you're giving me such a rush..." The speakers sang.
(20, summer, LA. Kairu took a trip with you guys!)
Sophiana sat in the back of the jeep pointing at all that they passed in the car. She had on a houndstooth tee and a lime green mini skirt. SHe adjusted her short aqua pixie cut with her hand and pulled on her white leather ankleboots. She smiled as they passed the shore. Her heart shaped sunglasses reflected the ocean that they passed. She was wearing pear stud earrings and a glass pink cupcake necklace. She stood up and waved at the passing cars. They continued to drive and Sophiana stared out at passing by LA and smiled "Hey where are we going?'
Kairu made a mock-offended face. "My sisters, remember? She got us a hotel?" kairu said dramatically. She waved away the face. "We're going to live it up!" She said, throwing back her head in laughter. They drove down a road that lead to a small suburb, palm trees swaying in the cowardly wind.
Alice sat next to Sophiana, her burgundy hair in a messy pony tail. She was wearing an electric blue and black mini dress, the top covered in silver buttons, silver gladiator sandals adorning her feet. She smiled, putting on a large pair of red sunglasses over her blue eyes.
"What's your sister like, Kairu?" she asked, a puppy chernobyl in her crate in the back, barking wildley.
Kairu made a curt grunt as she pulled into a gravel driveway. The house had a large, plush lawn the smelled like summer, and the lemon colored walls where wet from the sprinkler system. "KAILY!" Suddenly, a petite woman with golden hair ran to the car from the fully furnished porch. "Like that." Kairu said to alice in a hushed tone. She got out of the car, putting her glasses on her head. The woman's nose barely reached kairu's shoulder. "Sam!" She hugged her sister, laughing. "It's so good to see you!" Sam said, the sun full in her face. Her hair fell to her elbows. She wore a simple outfit reminiscent to a neighbor's mother- kaki capris and a black T-shirt and converse. Her face was wise, with a timed record starting to write itself around her eyes and mouth ever so slowly. Her eyes where a light hazel, almost blueish in the sun, and shone like puddles in the morning light. "And who is this?" She said, gesturing to the white jeep cautiously. Kairu smiled. "These are my best friends, Sophiana Tsuki and Alice...Popin, is it?"
Alice shook her head sadly. "Not yet," she said, hopping from the car with Chernobyl. "Hasn't popped the question- It's still Newman." She smiled, helping to get unloaded.
Sophiana smiled and shook kailey and Sams hand "The pleasure is mine." She unbolted her crate and Lemon jumped out of the jeep. SHe turned to the other crate and unbolted Chernobyl. She pulled off her hot pink suitcase and took out her purse from the back. "Your lawn, is amazing."
Sam smiled, waving away the compliment. "Thanks, but I had a little help, if you know what I mean." She whispered. Kairu raised one eyebrow. "What she means is that she's a witch." She explained slowly, walking to the jeep. She got out one red suitcase and a smaller makeup case, putting them on the ground. Kairu looked at the house, a breeze swaying her hair. "I see you still like gardening!" She observed. The house had a small flowerbed. Sam nodded. "OH!" She exclamed suddenly, turning to run into the house. "I left the tofu in too long!" She called, leaving the door ajar to unleash a pack of dogs. A small white sheppard ran immediatly to kairu. "Abby!" She said, petting it.
Hazel looked up from the travel book, realizing that she had been in space and had missed their arrival. Her hazel eyes sparkled in the sunlight as she stepped out of the car. She was super excited, and was even dressed in a sailor like fashion. She wore high waisted white short shorts with two rows of navy bluebuttons down the front, with a baby pink babydoll tank top tucked in. Around her ankle was a bracelet of multicolored plastic anchor charms, and below that, navy blue high tops. Her hair was down except for two tiny, highly placed pigtails made with the shortest layers of her hair, which was decorated by a small navy and white sailor hat. She grabbed her various interestingly patterned luggage and set it on the ground. "Hello sam! I'm Hazel!" she introduced herself.
Sophiana put her hand up to block the sun "Gawd it's way hotter down here!" She looked around as she looked around "I adore this whole American scene." She leaned against the jeep and sighed as her phone jingled she pulled it out of her purse and giggled as she kicked her feet in the grass happily.
Kairu laughed, skipping towords hazel. Abby followed. "Comeon inside, you guys!" She said, grabbing hazels hand. she triped a bit as they ran up the steps and into the front hall. The house had wooden floors and dusty rose-colored walls. A coathanger was nailed into the side, and underneath it there was a basket which bore shoes before it. The daily profet was inside. Kairu took off her heels, gestuing for her friends to do the same. "Her hubby's a real neat freak." she muttered. "I am not!" A voice called from above. Looking up through the hole in the ceiling, she spotted a short, stubby looking man was a bit of a tummy. He was fixing the hole, pale green shirt stained with white paint. Kairu groaned just before Sam arrived in the hall with a tray of pink lemonade.
"Sam, your house is- ooof!- fabulous!" hazel exclaimed, tripping along with kairu. "dear me, it IS hot! And very sunny. it rains so much in england that I forget how nice the sun is..." Hazel half laughed. "Mmm, I'll need lots of sunscreen..." she pouted, remembering her own needs. she meticulously took off each shoe and left them in the basket, revealing brightly painted toenails.
Sophiana hung up her phone and followed everyone inside. Sophiana saw Hazel and unzipped her ankle boots. She set them in the basket and saw the hole "Why is there a hole?" Sophiana took a pink lemonade and sipped it looking at the pictures hanging in the hall. "Awww Kairu you are a small one!" She looked around and smiled "So how long have yyou guys lived in La?"

Kairu laughed, taking a glass. Sam lead them into the living room, which had a bar separating it from the kitchen. "We've lived here for eight years." She said, setting down the platter on the blueish-black marble counter top. Kairu helped herself to the fridge, crouching to pick out a box of kumquats. "hey!" Sam poked Kairu's head over the fridge door. Kairu stood up, placing the box ever so close to the edge. "What?" She asked, raising one brow and smiling slyly. Abby's paws clicked on the butter-yellow tile. She sat at Kairu's feet, waiting for scraps. Kairu dropped one kumquat to the floor, and Abby whimpered and ran after engulfing the sour fruit. Sam frowned disaprovingly. "So, shall I show you to your rooms?"
Alice looked up from sipping at her lemonade. "Do you have any sparkling water?" she asked, getting up and standing behind Kairu, her head on her shoulder. "Are we sharing a room?"
Sophiana smiled "That's nice." She walked over to the kitchen and listened to the conversation. She laughed as Abby cried over the sour fruit. She walked over to were Sam was to follow.
Sam handed Alice a bottle of VOSS water, and vitiman water for herself. "You all will be sharing the guest room for the night, until tomorrow, where you guys should head to the hotel." She said, guiding the group up the raspberry carpeted stairs. The second story was a hall with two windows cut into the sand-and-rose wallpaper. Four doors lead to a closet, a guest room, a bathroom, and a master suite. Kairu looked around. "No encanted dusters? No Self-opperating vacumes?" She asked astonishingly. Sam lowered her head, opening the door to the guest room. A string of feather dusters flew out, followed by two enchanted Sham-WOWs and a swiffer mop. "I didn't know who was comming, so I had to hide them in here." She muttered. Kairu walked into the room. It was a quaint scene- Two large beds covered with matching powder-blue quilt and pillow sets. A dresser stood at the corner. The closet door was wide open, revealing the cavern within. Kairu sat on the bed. "Nice, huh?"
Sophiana looked about the room "The best!" she looked around the room "This is really nice, thanks you guys." She sat on the bed with Kairu. "Oh my, I forgot Lemon head!" She ran down the stairs and found lemon in a bush in the neighbors yard. She sighed and carried her up to the guest room "The little dork ran away." She rolled her suitcase near the dresser and smiled "Now what?"
Hazel flopped on one of the beds, grabbing a sham-WOW as she did so. "Man, i love theses little things!" she giggled. She tossed it back to its duties. "Kairu, are you staying in the hotel with us?" she asked lightly.
Kairu leaned back. "Yup." She answered innocently. "I wouldn't pass it up for the world!" Sam walked to the center of the room. "Okay, so who wants to go shopping?" She asked.
Alice poked her head out quickly from the depths of the wardrobe. "Me, please!" she said, putting one leg out of the wardrobe and attempting to get up, causing her to toppled forwards and onto the floor. She got up, and stuck Chernobyl in her crate.
"What Hotel are we staying in?" she asked, poking Sophiana in the stomach.
Sophiana grabbed her purse "That sounds ubber lovley." She grabbed the leash and hooked it on Lemons collar "I'ma gonna take her!" She ran down the stairs and tugged on her boots. She put her shades on, Lemon barked and she nodded "I think we have approval for her."
Kairu laughed, walking towords alice. "I'm not sure," she answered, "but I know it's a nice one." She walked down the stairs and then step into her louboutin high heels. As the opened the door, a rush of hot air hit her. She made a noise of disgust, running to the jeep. Kairu got into the drivers seat, looking at a map whail everyone was getting inside. Her eyes glittered at the thought of the stores they where headed to. "We should hit the mall- I definatly want to get some stuff from this store I've heard of, it's called..." She fastened her seatbelt, earings jingiling as they bounced off of oneanother. "...Hot topic?" Kairu turned to the back, asking if anyone knew of it. "I hear it's got lots of scene kid stuff." She pulled outy of the driveway.
Alice's eyes widened. "That's where I got my earrings!" she said, pulling at a strand of hair, exposing little ninja earrings dangling from her ears. "It's a great store. Do they have an H&M or Forever Twenty-one?"
