“Ya Stupid Bitch” Reis father said as he raised his hand to her.

“No…Dad don't…please don't” Rei said.

“Rei, Rei, Rei Get up your having a dream” Cailey said.

“Huh, are we here already?” Rei asked.

“Well we are at our first stop. We just arrived in Florida, and we take this flight to Pittsburgh and I will drive us the rest of the way,” Cailey stated.

“Ok…cool” Rei said as she sat up and got off the plane. They walked over to the exit and got off the plane. They went to baggage claim and got their bags and Jazz. They walked to there next flight; they set everything up and boarded the plane.

“Your seats are right there,” The flight attendant stated.

“Why are we apart, is someone between us?” Rei asked.

“Why Yes, this is Zoë she is being brought to Pittsburgh to the Department of Social Services, So she can be put in foster care” The Attendant said and walks off.

“Hi, I am Zoë, It is nice to meet you” Zoë said to Rei and she took her seat in between Cailey and Rei.

“Please buckle your seatbelts. We are now lifting off,” The flight attendant said. After they were in the air Rei unbuckled her seat belt and began to listen to music. She felt a light tap.

“What!” She asked Zoë.

“Will you tell me a story? I am Bored!” She asked politely.

“I don't have any stories, sorry kiddo,” She said.

“Um…why do you have that bruise on your face?” Zoë asked, with a worried and curios tone.

“I walked into a door” Rei lied to her.

“It isn't right to lie” Zoë said.

“I'm not lying, how old are you anyway kid?” Rei asked her.

“I am seven. And I know for a fact that you didn't walk into a door” Zoë said. Rei looked surprised.

“Tell me what really happened or I will tell you what I know,” Zoë asked.

“How did you get so smart?” Rei asked.

“Let me tell you a story. When I was born, my daddy died. My mom is white and my dad is black. When he died, my mom felt worthless, and she met up with her high school sweetheart and they hit it off. He couldn't stand the fact that my mommy was with a black man and he would tell me I couldn't do anything that most people could do, because I was an `Oreo' as he called me. So one night when he came home drunk, it got so bad that he took a brillo pad to my arm and rubbed it so raw to try and get the color out of my skin. It worked, he ripped all the skin of my arm and that was that,” Zoë said. “Protective services came, and took me away, and I am on my way to Pittsburgh to the center to be placed in foster care. So why did your dad hit you?” She asked.

“I don't know” Rei said as she got emotional. “I will sing you a song,” Rei said as she began to sing Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. After she finished the song she hugged Zoë with all her heart. A few hours passed and they slept most of the way there.

“Ok if you will all buckle your seat belts as we prepare to land,” The stewardess stated. Everyone buckled his or her seat belts. Once they landed and they got off the plane. Zoë saw a sign with her name on it.

“I don't want to go. Take me with you. Please!” Zoë begged Rei to take her.

“I cant sweetheart. I have to go” Rei said as she embraced Zoë in a hug. She got up and began to walk away.

“Sure, Whatever” Zoë said. As she saw Rei grab her bags she followed them and after they got passed the baggage search she crawled into on of Rei's backs and was loaded into the back of there car.

“Ok let's go” Cailey said. They drove out of the parking lot, about an hour after driving. “You liked her didn't you?” Cailey said.

“Liked who?” Rei said. Fully aware of whom Cailey was speaking of. Cailey gave an I-am-not-stupid-and-neither-are-you look at Rei.

“Fine, I did. For a kid she wasn't half bad.” Rei said.

“She wanted to come with us?” Cailey asked.

“Yeah, I said no and I guess she listened” Rei said. After and all night drive they finally arrived.

“I took the liberty of having the apartment all set up for when we got here.” Cailey said.

“Great, I am tired” Rei said. They grabbed their bags and walked to their apartment. When they got up there, Rei let Jazz out of her cage. Jazz stretched like crazy and began to run around the room. As they began to pull there luggage out Zoë began to move because she had been asleep.

“Ah!” Cailey Screeched. “Why is your bag moving?” Cailey said as she jumped behind Rei to hide.

“I don't know” Rei said. She went over to the bag and slowly unzipped it.

“SURPRISE” Zoë screamed.

“AHHHHHH!” Rei and Cailey screamed as they grabbed arms and hugged one another.

“Zoë?” Rei said. “What are you doing here missy?” Rei said in a not-so-glad tone.

“I didn't want to leave you. You have to be my new mommy.” Zoë said.

“Do the people know you're here?” Cailey asked.

“Um…no” Zoë lowered her head in shame.

“I will be right back,” Cailey said. She walked away with the phone, and you could hear her talking to the protective services. As she walked back she wasn't smiling.

“I am sorry…” She said. Zoë's eyes filled with water droplets.

“I am sorry we wont have a bedroom for you quite yet.” Cailey said in an excited tone.

“I can stay!” Zoë leaped into Reis arms. Rei stumbled back onto the couch.

“What's the catch?” Rei said as she raised one eyebrow.

“They will be here in 2 weeks and We have to have enough money to provide her, a bedroom, plenty of food, clothes, we need a babysitter, jobs, enroll her in school, and get her a dentist, a physician and pass a test provided by the social worker coming. If we pass we get to adopt her. She can be adopted as your daughter!” Cailey said.

“I can!” Zoë's eyes got huge with excitement.

“Let me go make some calls” Cailey said. Cailey got her enrolled in Sackets, got her a doctor at the Children's Clinic, and a Dentist at Westside Dental. Hired a babysitter named Krista.

“Lets go shopping! But…”Cailey said as Zoë jumped up fast and sat back down.

“We have to go to the mall here and get you clothes from The Gap kids, and Limited Too. Then we will get you shoes from Pay Less, and Famous Footwear. Then go to a store to pick out paint and a carpet and furniture. Finally we will get groceries and then we will be done” Cailey said. “Sound good?” Cailey asked. Zoë's eyes watered.

“What is wrong Zoë?” Rei asked her.

“You guys love me for who I am!” She said and cried into Reis Shoulder. Rei brushed her hand through her hair.

“Well we wont get any shopping done if we are here being Grumpy Gusses!” Cailey said. They began to walk downstairs.

“Um…What about Jazz?” Rei asked.

“We let her out to go potty and then we will put her in her kennel.” Cailey said. Rei took Jazz out on her leash. She went to the bathroom and put her back into her kennel.

They pulled out of the driveway. They began to start there new life's as a family.
