"...this is how I feel, I'm cold and I am shamed..." SLAM!" DIE NATALIE IMBRUGLIA!!! "Felicity said as she hit here alarm clock as hard as she possibly could, she hated that song and couldn't believe that she had to wake up to it. This is obviously a sign...she thought to herself, laughing because she couldn't believe she was already cranky a mere two seconds after she woke up. Felicity glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:01am, just enough time to take a shower, eat, get dressed and walk out of the door. She kinda wobbled down the steep stairs because her legs weren't quite ready for walking yet and climbed into the steaming, hot shower, her muscles relaxing to the fullest extent of relaxation:) She washed her hair with some kind of scary looking organic shampoo and conditioner, washed herself and jumped out of the shower, only to find there were no towels. Great, she thought, just my luck. She decided that since Brandy had already left, she might as well just streak all the way upstairs. Brrrrr... she was cold. As she was sprinting up the stairs she looked out the window and saw a little blond boy staring up into the house. Zac! Felicity cried as she slammed the door behind her. What a great first impression Felicity!!!, she thought to herself. Now he's probably scarred for life, he'll never get out of counseling, she kept the thoughts coming. She worriedly looked at the clock, 8:35. Felicity knew she had to hurry, but how could she go swimming with a kid that had seen her naked??!! I can't cancel these plans, she thought, that boy what's-his-name is too cute, she though with a smile. Maybe he didn't, see she thought, yeah right, but anyways... Felicity ran a comb through her thick hair, put it up in a bun and secured it with bobby pins and two chopsticks she got at Pier 1 for a buck. 8:42. She hurried downstairs and looked through the cabinets for some kind of breakfast food, nothing was to be found. Oh well, she thought as she opened the freezer and took out the gallon of ice cream her and Brandy had bought the night before. She found a scooper in a drawer with a bunch of neat little kitchen gadgets and scooped out 3 scoops of ice cream. *Hey, who actually only eats 1 or 2 scoops? Come on, she's normal:)* Felicity ate so fast she got a brain-freeze, but she didn't care, she had 5 minutes left, just enough time for one last peek in the mirror. She grabbed her green backpack, put on her sunglasses, slipped on her way too overpriced Doc sandals and headed out the door, right on time. "Hey Felicity!" Walker said as he was packing their van. This is a huge van, she thought, much bigger than their other van. "Good morning Mr. Hanson." she said as politely as she possibly could. "Hey, don't call me Mr. Hanson, that makes me sound old, just call me Walker." he joked "OK" she said smiling. Gosh this whole family's so nice, the perfect American family, she thought. Just then Isaac and Taylor bolted out of the front door as a long, water stream followed. Zac had a water- gun, and he had an the most evil grin on his face. "Watch out!!!!" Taylor said as he ran over and pushed Felicity behind the van. They both fell. Taylor toppled onto Felicity as he stumbled over a rock....they were in hysterics, Felicity was laughing so hard her nostrils were flapping in this really scary looking rhythmic movement. As soon as Taylor noticed this he started laughing even harder. Felicity was barely breathing , so she decided she should calm down, or she might go and be *cool* and have an asthma attack in front of people she didn't even know very well. When they were finally calm and collect again, the whole family was already in the van yelling at the two breathless teenagers, telling them to hurry up. They hopped in the van, and this was the order, front seat(l-r): Walker & Diana, second row: Zoe, Zac, Jessica, third row: Taylor, Isaac, Avery and in the back on the floor: Mackie and Felicity. " Do you wanna play with me?" the cute little 4-year old asked. "Sure, what are you playing?'' Felicity asked Mackie. "Monsers, see this is the good man, and this is the monser, I am the monser and you getta be the good wussy man." He explained sounding very mature besides the way he said monster. Everyone in the van started laughing, god he's such a cutie, Felicity thought looking at Mackie yell at the *good guy* who was Darth Vader from Star Wars. A little confused, she thought, but he's a sweetie. It took about 3 and a half hours to get there, including the stop at a Texaco so Avie could go to the restroom and a stop for Diana so she could get some Lifesavers. She said that if she didn't chew on hard candy on car trips, she got car sick, and no one wanted a carsick mommy. When they finally had arrived, Isaac, Taylor, Jessica and Felicity had played 27 games of tic-tac-toe, and played I Spy more times than anyone could count. As the kids leapt out of the van and ran to go look at the water, Felicity, Isaac, Taylor, Zac were left to get ice-chests, backpacks, games and endless amounts of toilet paper. "Why do we need this?" Felicity asked Zac, still wary on him maybe seeing her in the nude. "Well, we hike about a mile down to our own little spot that has this cliff that's like 30 feet high and all of us jump off of it like 100 times! So we don't really have a toilet anywhere near, so ya gotta go out in the bushes!" he said with a silly grin. Felicity smiled, she was suddenly calm because she had a feeling that maybe he didn't see her. Once everyone had something to carry, they headed down a steep trail, Felicity thinking how much that day was going to rock, Taylor thinking about how he could ask her in a polite way to get on his shoulders and both of them jump off the cliff, and Zac thinking about the naked incident that happened earlier that day. This is going to be a long day he thought, laughing quietly.
