It just doesn't feel right.

I CAN'T believe it! Okay, so if you read Chrissa's post yesterday, you will have read that Madison made CHRISSA a part of her evil clique! ACCKK!!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!! Chrissa was like, a good friend of mine! Now, Madison won't even let her TALK to me! The worst part is, we share a bunk bed, so when she sprays her perfume(Madison's standards) I smell EVERYTHING!!! I'm coughing ALL night because it stays on SO long!!! UGH!!! I HATE CHRISSA!!! WHY did she have to fall for Madison's, "No, we're ONLY going shopping for ONE new dress," Act! I MEAN, seriously! THAT'S how she got Amber, Ruby, and Sapphire to follow her around! Madison is SOO mean! She is the WORST TO EVERYONE, except for her friends!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CHICK?!?! She has money, power, straight blond hair, TONS of clothes, and friends who are AMAZING(looking) The only bad side to this situation, is Chrissa CAN'T talk to me for SIX MONTHS! She's bound by a code she unwillingly followed(but she now embraces), and after two years, she will LIVE in Madison's manor!!! Oh my gosh, this is HORRIBLE!!!

The worst part, I haven't even said.

Chrissa has blond hair and pale green eyes. She isn't my sister anymore. I don't know her.

She's one of them now.
There's no escaping them, unless we move to Florida. But if SHE moves to Florida, THEY will follow, because they are one.

They are one. They will take her away from our family.

Chrissa now straightens her hair on a daily basis, uses colour guarding shampoo and conditioner, and she wants to grow her hair longer. She has a sudden new interest in fashion, and she smells like a flower that has too much scent all the time. It's HORRIBLE!!! Yesterday, she was my clumsy slightly older sister, who didn't care about how she looked.

Now, she's a TOTAL drama queen, who HAS to wear perfume, makeup, and have super straight blond hair TWENTY FOUR SEVEN. She ONLY wears clothes that Madison approves, and she follows them around like some deranged stalker. She...

She... She's not my sister.


I don't know her anymore.

I'll have to forget about Chrissa, or "Pearl" I guess I should say.

Do I have to join Them to talk Pearl out of it? Or if I do, will I start acting like some couture snob? Madison will be nice to me, but... I'm not cool enough to be with her group.... WAIT A FLIPPING SECOND!!! Madison ONLY chooses LOSERS to become part of her clique, and she morphs them into popular kids! So, if I wear Lily's old glasses, and if I put fake zits on my face, then maybe... ? Just maybe...

How horribly wrong yesterday was...

We lost the light for the photo story of the party yesterday, because Miranda's camera died at the last second. Next, there were SO many pictures taken, that the camera over-heated! Also, Felicity read this blog and knew about the party. Lastly, almost everyone left, stormed off, or was hit in the face. Felicity had an allergic reaction to the store-bought apple pie, and she had to be rushed to the hospital, since this was her first reaction. So, that's how the most deserving thirteen year old doll got the worst birthday party in the history of the world!

If you would like to view the photo-story, then explain to me how you load a Picasa album- Miranda got stuck! D:

~Miranda's dolls

Today is a special day!

If you have read my sister's blogs, you'll know today is Felicity's birthday! So, her agenda for today is to get her hair re-curled, pick out some nice outfits at Elizabeth's dress shop, and hang with Lanie! Of course, this WILL change, considering everyone has an outfit, but she doesn't know it, and after she gets her hair done, Lanie will tell Lissie that she forgot something at home. Lanie will lead the birthday girl home, where she has her surprise party!

Remember, this is all happening RIGHT NOW, so we may not blog for a while!!! :D

~Lily

Felicity's b-day plan!

If you read all of my "sister's" blogs, you'll know that tomorrow is Felicity's birthday! Now, I have the plan!
...
...
...
Okay, so I'll lead Felicity to the mall for a while, where I pretend to have forgotten today is her birthday.
Then, the party is officially set up; I mean the tables are placed and treats set out.
I lead Felicity home, where we pretend to be asleep, and we make snoring sounds from the party room.
We walk in together, I flip on the lights, and BOOM! She's a princess for the day!
...
...
...
Okay, not a princess, but she WILL be the center of attention for the day!!! :D

~Lanie

Happy Birthday, Felicity!!!

It seems like just yesterday our Felicity was pulled out of the box by our owner, Miranda, and now she's a teenager. Well, as of tomorrow. We would like to celebrate this by telling you ALLL about our sweet doll! :D


Favorite colour: purple.
Funny story: When Miranda took Felicity into American Girl Place Chicago for her tenth birthday, Felicity lost her hat! She looked EVERYWHERE, but couldn't find it! After about twenty minutes, Miranda found her hat in the tiny plastic box near the front of the store that was the lost and found!
Pet: The black horse that we've had for years, but still haven't named.
Best Friends: Elizabeth, Kirsten, and Hollie
Least favorite food: raspberries.
Favorite food: strawberries/ watermelon
Birthday: January 21
Sisters: not applicable yet. (She will get some in a few years)
The age she will (most likely) remain at: thirteen.
Her favorite subject in school: social studies
Her least favorite of my dolls: SONALI!!!

Felicity is getting her hair re-curled for her party tomorrow, even though it's a surprise party! She doesn't think we knew it was her birthday tomorrow, but we know!

Overall, Happy birthday, Felicity! ;D

~The dolls

New things are happening.

Well, AGPPA isn't happening for us anymore. We're forced to go to our old school again. I STILL won't have my old boyfriend, because he's now going to AGPPA. Caleb is coming with us, but he won't stay with us. Kanani is staying at AGPPA until Miranda has enough money, so she's not coming. At the very least, the first dance for 2011 is on Friday, like all great dances. That means I can go to two dances in two weeks! Same for Chrissa. Oh, I forgot to mention, Chrissa's boyfriend, Ethan, is also coming with us! She's happy, but she found a love note by her computer yesterday, so she's confused about whether or not two boys like her. Now this is more like a ramble, so I'll go now. :D

~Lily

Girl and her dog.

She was relaxing in her comfort spot earlier today, just spending quality time with her pet Honey. She just stared out the window, remembering all the great things she did in 2010. She went outside, played in the snow, threw the best holiday party, and so forth.

Later, she decided to read a book to her best friend.

"I'm bored reading this book! You don't care about cats, do ya Honey?" The girl exclaimed.

"I'll go get a different thing to read, instead." She beamed.

As she set her book down, she began to think about what she'll get from her library.

"Oh, Honey! I do adore spending time with you, but I must get up!" She described.

"Run along now, I need to get out of this blanket!" She announced

"There!" she exclaimed.

She started to throw the covers off, and began to sit up in preparation for standing.

"Now, Honey. I need you to stay here while I fetch something more to your liking for me to read to you." She explained.

She was a little skeptical about leaving her beloved pet behind, but she trusted her.

A while has passed, and she returned to the sight of her dog sitting there, eagerly awaiting her return. She was carrying a magazine, too.

"I'm glad I'm back, Honey, but I need to get the quilt back over me!" she explained.

The magazine she chose was the American Girl November/December issue from 2007.

"Okay, Honey! You can climb back up, now!" Afterwards, she whistled.

"Ah... This is how I wish I could spend everyday with my sweet, sweet little Honey." she exclaimed

"Aw... , I love you too, Honey. I love you too." She whispered as they stared lovingly into each other's eyes.

Question to be answered...

So, I know no one has asked to know what Kanani did to me, but, I'll tell you anyway! Also, this is where Caleb and I meet! :D

So, I was SO excited! I was at the Hot Chocolate shop with Chrissa, and she was beaming with joy! She was telling me how she and her boyfriend met a few hours ago! I felt happy for her. Okay, here's MY romance now!

So, as we were sipping our piping hot Hot Chocolate, there was this cute guy that had caught my eye. He was sitting alone, and I knew his name. His name was Caleb, and he's in my science and math class. He's REALLY good at math! :D

So, he grabs his phone out of his pocket and texts someone. It had piqued my interest, so I leaned over a bit to see who he was texting. I couldn't tell.

A few seconds after he put his phone away, I heard my phone ring. I got a text! So, I opened up my phone, and he had texted me!

It said:

hey, lily! so i saw that you wer staring at me. do u like me? i like you if thats the case. so, do you want 2 go to the danc this friday? :)

I texted him back:

sure! I would love to go! oh, and for the record, i DO have a crush on you! ;)

He texted back:

cool! this is our 1st danc! SWEET! :D

I concluded the conversation:

ikr! c ya there! ;D


I smiled shyly and walked out. Chrissa and I were flipping out in the lobby! CALEB ASKED ME OUT!!! :D

"Hey, Lily!" Kanani's familiar voice beamed.
"Hi, Kanani! What's up?"
"The air."
"Ha ha. No really, what's happening?"
"Well, I have BIG news for you!"
"WHAT IS IT?!?!" I questioned excitedly.
"I convinced Tyler to come to AGPPA so he could see you again!" Kanani let it ALL out!
"You WHAT?!?!" WHAT?!?!
"I know, right? Isn't it AWESOME?!?!"
"NO IT'S NOT AWESOME! I JUST GOT HOOKED UP WITH A DIFFERENT GUY, AND YOU CALLED MY OLD BOYFRIEND?!?!"
"Well, you were talking about how much you missed him, so I convinced him to come here! He'll be here JUST in time for the dance, so he can take you!" Kanani wasn't catching on.
"TYLER AND I ARE THROUGH! I'M WITH CALEB NOW!!!" I screamed at Kanani. I was drawing attention, and roughly twenty students and two teachers were watching.

"Why aren't you excited?"
"YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!!!" I quickly stormed out of the room. Hot tears were streaming down my face, and I didn't even bother to wait for the tour bus to take me back to my beach house. I walked the whole two miles back to the beach. In fact, one could say I jogged; or even ran!

I just went home and flopped on my bed. I threw my stuff in my blue duffel bag. I stormed over to Kirsten.

"Take me home." I said.
"But... this IS your home."

My face went chalk white. I dropped my duffel bag. I was frozen.

What about Miranda?

~Lily

My kinda guy

I was just playing on my ipod touch, doing the moron test. AGGHH! STUPID ANGRY DUCK! Sorry. I lost self control. Well, let's just say this: I found another boyfriend! YAY! His name's Caleb, and he's REALLY nice! He even bought me a bunch of roses! For all of you who didn't know, roses are my favorite flower! EEK! I'M SO HAPPY!!! Oh, I have one question: do you want to hear the story on how we met? LEAVE A COMMENT!!! :d

~Lily

Alone.

Kanani left. She wasn't for real. She wanted to boost my confidence and trust so she could ruin my life. Everyone is happy. But me. Lanie found out about a nature program in AGPPA that saves the rain forest. Sonali is having fun with Nathan. Kirsten just bought a kindle, and she's at a coffee shop to buy books on Amazon with their free Internet connection. Gwen and Hollie are at a singing competition in the auditorium. Chrissa is outside crying her eyes out. Felicity and Elizabeth are taking the offer of free horse riding at school. I'm sitting here. all alone. No one to talk to but my broken heart. As I'm typing, I'm pulling the petals of a daisy. Just pulling them out; not saying anything, not looking at anything. Just mindlessly pulling off petals, occasionally watching them fall from my top bunk to the floor. The occasional tear streamed down my cheek. This is life. Spent alone.

"How's it going, Lily?" A familiar, soft voice coaxed.

I didn't react. I just continued pulling out petals.
The girl jumped up onto my bed and sat down next to me.

"Okay. What's wrong?" Gwen's deep brown eyes pierced the silence.
"I'm alone." I managed to squeak out. The tears got faster.
"No you're not. I'm here, too." Gwen replied.
"Be alone somewhere else."
"If it makes you feel better, Hollie's singing SUCKED, and it's hilarious. Do you want to watch her sing?"
"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! GO. AWAY!!!" I yelled at her.

Gwen swiftly got up, and hopped off my bed. Her tears fell softly to the floor. I grabbed my pillow and buried my face in it. The one person who I thought understood me other than Lanie, had betrayed me. How could Kanani do this to me? I let her stay with us while she was here, and she did THAT to me?!

Where did the respectful, bright girl I thought I knew go? How could she have stole something of that much importance from me? Why does the world seem to turn on me like this?

Questions need answers, like I need a true friend.

~Lily

10 followers?!?!

How can I say it? 10 followers? REALLY?! OH MY JELLY I AM SO FLIPPING HAPPY I WANT TO SCREAM!!! Oh... okay... calm down Lily, calm down... Okay. Now that I have my sanity back, Thank you SOO much! I can't BELIEVE that 10 people like MY blog!!! I'm speechless. Well, on this memorable post, what would you like to hear more of on this blog? Romance, singing, school, my doll family, our new border Kanani, or something else? TELL ME!!! I MUST know! :D Oh, look at the date. 1/11/11 Today is DEFINITELY a day for #one fanatics!!! :D

~Lily

Do you think there should be pictures on this blog?

I think the title explains it. Do you?! Should we debate about it? Should we put some pics on behind each other's back?! WHAT SHOULD WE DO?!?! Please leave a respectful comment about what you think. Thank You!


~Miranda's Dolls


Hollie: No! It SHOULD be Miranda's SMART dolls!
M: FINE!

~Miranda's SMART dolls

What's happening with Sonali...

Well, let it be said that Sonali is happy, lately. She and Nathan got together! Good for them! I HAD to break up with my boyfriend Tyler because he's still by the east coast where I used to live; and I'm in California. :( Sadness. :,( We had JUST made out he other day, too! New Years almost Eve. December 30. Then, I had to break up. But, at least Sonali's happy! >:( Jealousy is kicking in. Well, I have NOTHING else to say for now, so... Peace out! I guess...

~Lily

Sad news...

Miranda will only ever have ten dolls. After this year's Girl of the Year, she's done. No more dolls. She wants to spend her money on stuff she would probably use in the long run. Oh, and while I'm complaining, she made me sing for my friends. I was AMAZING, but my throat hurts today. I couldn't even TALK! She made me go to school. Dang.

~Lily

My new life at AGPPA Part four

I took into consideration that there were bunk beds. It suddenly hit me: I know what I'm going to do!



Meanwhile, Sonali and Kanani were arguing.

"Why can't I have THAT bunk? It's just the same as the others!" Kanani argued.

"Well, if it's 'just the same as the others,' then take THAT bunk. I like the sheets on this bunk MUCH better than those Hot pink ones." Sonali retorted.

"Yes, but Kirsten already has a bunk on that bunk bed, and Lily and I BOTH want to share a bunk bed! So YOU go to THAT bunk. OVER. THERE!"

"UGGHHH! YOU'RE SO DIFFICULT!!!" Sonali complained. She trudged over to the other bunk bed, and threw her pink suitcase on it. Sonali was defeated! Kanani, who will one day be Sonali's older cousin; had won.

The sheets on this bunk bed were an ocean blue, and they complimented both of our eyes. As I found out over the summer, most dolls look good in ocean blue. Oh, and while I'm at it, I learned nothing. I had forgotten what I was going to do. That sucks.

"All students attending AGPPA please report to the campus. That'll be all." A lady with a southern accent spoke into the intercom. Oh, and like my old school, boys attend here too. Good for dating.

"Well, that's us! Well, I'm going to be a student teacher there, so I guess that's YOU, not ME." Kirsten announced.

"So, do you think the school will be like our old school, Lanie?" I asked.

"Maybe. It still has boys, but I don't think I'll recognize anyone else. Of course, some people still are the same dolls. One doll I know without personally meeting is Chrissa."

"THE Chrissa?!?! The one who writes Chrissa my Love?!?" That's one of my FAVORITE blogs!

"Yup. Oh, and there's also Sonali, Prudence, Charity, and Chrissa's other sisters. Oh, and Rebbecca, Julie, Julia, and Elizabeth go there, too."

"OH MY JELLY!!!"

We walked over there, but halway through, we found a campus bus that takes students to and from there beach houses. Sweetness.

"Hi, I'm Rose. I just came here from Oklahoma. Where are you from?" This girl, apparently named Rose, asked me.

"My name is Lily, and I'm not allowed by my owner to say where I'm from."

"Oh. Well, at least you have an owner. I came here because AG might turn me into a GOTY." Rose replied.

Wow. I'm seeing a possible future GOTY! IN ACTION! I MAY be part of her life in her book! SWEET!

Rose had curly strawberry blond hair and grey blue eyes. I have to admit, she looks pretty nice.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" I asked.

"Yeah, his names Noan. He's from Sweden. He's ALSO a foreign exchange student." Rose explained.

Wow. This school is DIVERSE!

"Who're you?!" Sonali asked this boy.

"I'm Nathan, I'm from New Hampshire. Who are you?"

"My name is Sonali, and, I don't really want to go here."

"Oh. Well, I like your hair. It's REALLY long and pretty." Nathan told Sonali.

"Wow, um, thanks. I like your eyes, I have a thing for blue-grey."

Will Sonali have a boyfriend?!?! Lucky. I feel sorry for Nathan. He's into SONALI.

~Lily

HAPPY TWENTIETH POST!!! :D

I'll say ONE thing: Miranda is taking pictures right now, so... I won't post anymore today. SORRY! I'll talk about my school day later today or tomorrow. :(

~Lily

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I couldn't get on blogger yesterday because every one else was blogging. Well, don't worry. I'm fine, even though I'm in tears. I'M RETIRED! I didn't think it would happen THAT fast! Well, at least Kanani is pretty. Lily is bunking with her at AGPPA, AND she sat behind Lily on the plane to California! I think Miranda's going to adopt her! When we come back home for the summer, if Miranda calls, KANANI CAN COME HOME WITH US!!! YAY! It's not official, though. (Actually, it is. I just need enough money to buy her! ~Miranda)

HEY! NO ONE ELSE TYPES ON MY BLOG BUT ME!
"Fine! I'm going upstairs anyway!"

Well, I think Kanani will be a GREAT roommate! And a great sister! Oh, and when we get Kanani, she'll be Sonali's cousin. Sonali will have a sister, a twin, to be exact, so....... Our family is GROWING!


~Lanie Holland.

My new life at AGPPA Part three

When I woke up, Lanie was poking my shoulder telling me something. I flicked her on the shoulder.

"Ow! Why did you do that, Lily?"
"I'm trying to sleep!" I growled.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you that the plane's landing! You slept through the five hour flight, and you missed watching a movie with an episode of 'The Office' following it."

Sure enough, the plane was getting close to the ground, and I braced for impact. When we hit the ground, the plane was very shaky, and I flashed back to being in that suitcase. I was thrown around, it was drafty, and I was cold.

"Please remain seated until the plane has come to a complete stop and has pulled up to gate 9." The flight attendant spoke.

I gathered up my ipod cord, checked on Hollie, who was fine, and started to stretch. I wiped the sleep out of my eyes, and peered out the window. It was brighter than any light I had seen before. Well, except for the light in the hotel that was in California.

Time passed.

"So, did you go swimming in California, Lily?" Kanani asked me.
"Yes, but it was kinda cold."
"Well, when did you go there?"
"End of July."
"But that's the fricken hottest month of the year!"
"Yes, and I couldn't leave the hotel without a sweater."

More time passed.

We left the plane, and the gate. The floors were a shiny silvery gold. Wait, there's Kanani, again!

"Wait, are you going to AGPPA too?" She asked me.
"Yeah! Wait, YOU'RE GOING THERE TOO?!?!" This. Is. AWESOME!!!

We chatted as we left the terminal. It was interesting; she had been in Hawaii her whole life after American Girl had sent her there to get a life. Literally. That's what American Girl does to Girl of the year dolls. They make a test doll, send her to her hometown, leave her for a year, and take her back. Then she describes her life, and an author writes a story.

"Okay, do we have everyone? There's me, Sonali, Gwen, Chrissa, Elizabeth, Felicity, Lanie, Lily, Hollie, and Kanani. Wait, we don't have a Kanani!" Kirsten announced.

"Well, she's going to AGPPA too, and she doesn't have a family." I explained.

"Fine. You can stay with us. Miranda DID say she may adopt you, so you might as well get to know our family." Kirsten answered.

"YAY! THANK YOU KIRSTEN!" Kanani ran up and embraced Kirsten. Some people stared.

Time passed. Again.

After a drive through the desert.... We reached San Diego.

We pulled up to a pretty secluded beach house. A few shells littered the beach, along with REAL litter. Kanani vowed she would clean up the trash tomorrow.

"So, here we are! I guess we're all sharing a beach house, and there's three sets of bunk beds and two bedrooms. The house sleeps ten. Oh, well that's perfect with Kanani here!" Kirsten announced. She announces everything!"

The house was originally an ocean blue, but it was sun bleached, so it looked pale blue.

Inside, there was a sitting room with a couch, two wing back chars, and a coffee table. Next to that room, there was a study room, a bunk bed room that sleeps six girls, and a bedroom. On the other end of the room, there was a doorway that led to the master bedroom. Kirsten unlocked the rooms, and there was a mad dash to claim beds. Sonali hit me in the thigh.

"KANANI! LET'S GRAB A BUNK BED WHILE WE CAN!" I tried to shout over all the commotion.

"OKAY! BUT I WOULD PREFER HAVING A BOTTOM BUNK!"
"GOOD, I LIKE THE TOP BUNK, ANYWAY!"

We got settled in, put our sheets on our beds, and chatted.That's at the most current thing, and I'll post more later!

My new life at AGPPA Part two

Okay, I'm not QUITE on the plane, but by the end of this post, I will be!

"Everyone, stick together! We're going to do the buddy system with each other. I will stay especially close with Sonali and Gwen. We're buddies. Chrissa, Elizabeth and Felicity are buddies. That means Lanie, Lily, and Hollie are buddies." Kirsten explained.

UGGHH! I'm with HOLLIE! She won't shut up! And she gets the most attention right now, and I hate that! One could even say that I'm jealous...

When we got to the airport security section, we were traveling together. I mean all three groups. When we came out, there were three of us. WHAT HAPPENED?!?! Oh, wait a second. They're right behind us. Never mind! But, Lanie practically RAN to every single dog that was in a travel cage. I needed to put HER in a travel cage! Well, we didn't. Lanie's my best friend, so I would NEVER do that to her!


We're not done security. We still have to take off our shoes and get them scanned with our carry on bags.

"Well Lanie, we're ALMOST done! I went to California before, and this is the part where we go to the gate!" I explained. Actually, I was in a SUITCASE that took me to California.

Kirsten's back. "Is everyone with their buddies? Good! Now, come up to me and get your tickets! Our gate is number 15, in terminal five."

"I got my ticket! YAY! It's blue!" It was blue with bright yellow horizontal stripes. It was pretty.

"So, how was it in California? Isn't there an AG Place there? Did you meet new people? How was the food? Did you go to different places? How-" I cut Hollie off.

"HOLLIE! SHUT UP! We have to get all the way across the airport in FIVE MINUTES! We don't have time to talk!" Man, now I feel bad!

We went silently but swiftly through the airport, and we finally reached terminal five. Soon enough, we reached gate fifteen. I wanted food. Lanie bought some Tacos at Taco Bell. We ate. We chatted. Okay, we didn't chat, but Hollie sniffled in sadness a little. The seats had fake leather that was peeling from the seats, and it was quite uncomfortable, so I just stood up. A Kanani walked by, and we had a friendly chat. She was going to AGPPA, too!

"First class and business class will now be boarding, first class and business class will now be boarding." The lady spoke into the intercom. That was us! First class! We get reclining seats! YAY!

"Isn't that us? First class?" Sonali questioned.

"Check your ticket." I told her.

"Oh! Thanks, Lily! So, we're boarding now, right?"

"Last call for first class and business class." The intercom lady spoke.

We got up and walked over to the ticket scanner. It was cool!

"Okay, girls! You're all set! Have fun in California!" Another airport worker told us. Her smile was faker than an inflatable turkey. Trust me, I would know.

The pathway to the plane was nice. But, the end of it had a part where if you dropped anything, it would fall to the ground and get crushed by the plane when it started to move.

I found our seats, I had a window seat and Lanie had a middle seat. Hollie had an aisle seat next to Lanie. Poor Lanie. My view was practically black, with a little bit of rising sun. Pretty.

"OOH! What does THIS button do?" Hollie yelled. Her seat fell backwards. It was hilarious! "Okay, that's NOT a good button to press!"

"So, Lily, how did you like California?" Lanie asked me.

"Well, to be honest, I had to stay in the hotel all day with Miranda while her dad was working."

I plugged in my ipod, and my favorite song, Soul Sister, started to play. I tapped my finger on the seat a little. I fell asleep. Until the plane started taxiing. Taxiing is when the plane moves to the runway. I woke up and blurted out, "PUDDING!" People stared.

Now the plane started to get faster. I got a little more nervous. Okay, now we were an inch higher, now a yard, now thirty yards. Okay, I'm feeling a little sick. By now we were about a mile off the ground, then my ears popped. I shoved a stick of gum in my mouth. My ears were better. Yep, chewing gum makes your ears not pop. I was hyperventilating. Hollie was sleeping. Lanie was lip singing to Fireflies on her sapphire blue ipod. I decided I was tired, and I started to recline my seat, when someone complained.

"Hey, I'm trying to eat back here, even though airplane food sucks, so can you not recline so much?" A Hawaiian girl complained.

I turned around
"Wait, did we meet before?" I asked.
"Yeah! You're Lily, right?"
"The one and only! You're Kanani, right?"
"Yep!"

We chatted for a LONG time. She was really cool! In fact, she doesn't have a family, so she's moving to AGPPA, like us. In fact, I called Miranda at the gate, and she may ADOPT my new friend Kanani! YAY!
