Chapter 3: Dream Come True - by Ben

Part 2/2

“Andd we’re down!” Ruby replied. She let go of Neddy’s clammy hand. Neddy let out a sigh of relief, sitting down on the first step of the stairs.

“That was scary. Heights… BRRRR,” Neddy shivered. He rubbed his hands together, when suddenly his implant glowed again.

“Huh? That’s weird.”

Neddy looked up to see a group of five walking toward them. Or perhaps, walking toward the stairs? There was a mean looking man, a sweet-looking lady, two teenagers who looked like twins, and a woman with dark red hair. They all looked like they had just arrived from a ball, and each one (except the sweet-looking lady) wore a medallion around their neck. The mean one and the sweet one were holding hands, and the twins seemed to be squabbling.

“Um, why are they walking toward us?” Neddy murmured. He slowly stood up, his hands by his side. As Ruby spotted the dark red hair girl, her eyes sparkled.

“OMG, Neddy, look at her hair! It’s red like mine,” Ruby purred, playing with her ponytail that had red streaks in her black hair. She raised a hand and waved at them.

“Girl, your hair is SO pretty!” Ruby called out with a smile.

Now all their attention seemed to be toward them.

The mean looking one raised his eyebrow, holding onto the sweet lady’s hand tighter. His other hand clenched into a fist, and Neddy looked at it with a gulp.

“Uhh, Ruby? Can you please stop waving?”

“I think you made that guy mad.”
