"Jamie, where is your shoe?" Aria asked her younger brother. He shrugged, and ran off into the kitchen to look there. Aria grumbled, mumbling something about him always losing his things.

Nathan, Aria's foster brother, walked into her bedroom, "I found it, it was in the bookcase. That kid really needs to have his shoes taped to his feet."

Aria laughed, "I have a feeling he would find a way to lose them anyway. Hey, where's Lisa?"

"I think she's with Jamie, in the kitchen."

Aria nodded,"Hurry up, we can't be late to school again," she said as she grabbed Nathan's backpack.
She quickly gave herself a once over in the mirror, ran her fingers through her thick, wavy blonde hair, and left the room. "Jamie, lets go!"

Jamie came, tripping over his own feet, his goofy smile making Aria laugh. "Come on buddy, we cant miss the bus. Nathan, we'll meet you outside," she said before walking out the front door.

Nathan quickly joined Aria and Jamie at the bus corner, and the three of them boarded, and left for school. A few stops later, Jamie gave his sister a hug, got off the buss, and headed for Mrs. Albony's second grade class.

As always, Aria watched him go until she couldnt see him anymore. As the bus pulled in front of her school, she kissed Nathan on the forehead, and walked to first period English.

A tiny, petite red-head jumped in front of Aria, grabbing her wrists "Okay, loving the scarf, but the jeans are so not flattering. You're curvy, so drop the Walmart jeans, and wear something to show it. Oh, and the top, totally brings out your baby blue eyes."

"Mariah, now that you are don't insulting my pants, can we go and sit?"

"Fine. But your *** still looks bad." Mariah said before winking, and dancing to her seat. Aria laughed, and sat in her desk.

A large, grey haired woman entered the classroom. "Alright class, today we will have an assignment. You will all be pared with someone-" she was quickly cut off by the conversations of teenagers, as they began to partner up.

Aria quickly looked at Mariah, and they locked eyes. Mariah mouthed "easy A". Mrs. Henry slammed her hands on her desk, regaining order to her classroom. "You will be assigned partners," she stressed the word assigned. Each student groaned as if their dreams had just been crushed.

Mrs. Henry smiled, "Okay, each group will be assigned a fairy tale, and research the story. You will each write a six page report about the story, and present the report to the class, retelling the tale in your own words." The teacher snatched the clipboard off her desk, and began to read the names of the partners. Aria listened for her's and Mariah's names. "Aria Capener and Peter Bellson, your story will be peter pan, Mariah Lynn, you are with Cassandra Meyer, and you will research Hansel and Gretel."

Aria sighed heavily, and felt her A walk out. After Mrs. Henry finished the list, she smiled "The next thirty or so minutes will be with your partner, discussing your story. I want to hear nothing else besides fairy tales." Mrs. Henry sat at her desk, pulled out a book, and began to read.

Aria sunk deeper into her seat, and hoped to be ignored. A sudden tap on her shoulder told her she wasn't going to be so lucky. "Hey Darling, so your my partner, lucky you." A shaggy blonde boy slid onto her desk, his deep blue eyes stared at her.

Aria laughed "Wow, cocky, lucky me. So if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you got the heck off my desk, and we get this project done as soon as possible."

He flashed her a sexy grin "But if we get this done so quickly, how will I get to know you?"

"You don't. Now, Peter Pan, perfect. A story about a young, insecure, smart-alec who was incredibly selfish, and a bratty attitude. Great." Aria mumbled.

Peter stared at her "I don't know, he seems deeper than that. His family forgot about him, he needed to escape. Which is what he found in neverland."

"But that doesn't excuse the fact that boy has a serious attitude problem. The whole story is silly, I mean fairies, and mermaids, and pirates. Its all goofy bedtime stories."

"Not always, the story is about enjoying your childhood, and not trying to grow up so quickly."

Aria stared at him "yeah well sometimes your forced to grow up early."

"What do you mean Darling?" he asked her.

She quickly looked away, "Nothing. Lets just figure out what we already know about the tale, and start from there. And stop calling me Darling!"

He laughed, "Whatever you say."

It is interesting enough. Your story reminds me of The Hunger games. The innocents of the characters.
Good luck!

i dont get car sick, but i'm afriad i will on the train?

sevenonese

My family and I are going on a train trip, and although I don't get carsick, I'm afraid I will on the train. I went on a train once, but that was awhile ago. Does it get really bumpy? Or is it OK?

Answer
I've always been prone to carsickness, especially when riding in the back seat. If anybody knows about urping on a trip, it's me.

I never had a motion sickness problem on a train and I've travelled by train a lot. I actually liked the slight sensation of movement but it's not very noticeable.

There is no bumpy feeling and if there ever was, the train company would think there was something wrong and they'd fix it.

If you must, take something like dramamine but try to avoid the heavy anti-histamine make you sleepy drugs unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Train travel is a great adventure. Don't cheat yourself out of enjoying it.

You can also avoid motion sickness (which you probably will not get, anyway) by constantly eating. I'm not kidding. I had to go on a whale watching boat for about eight hours and was in a complete panic over motion sickness when my Mother told me to bring oranges and crackers and to never let my mouth and tummy get the sense that it NEEDED food, to avoid hunger or th edesire to nibble by constantly eating, anyway. She said a hungry tummy was prone to get motion sickness while in motion.

I took her advice and while I ate my oranges and nibbled my crackers, other people were puking over the side of the boat.

So bring a backpack with you and have oranges and crackers to nibble. Make a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Have some small bottles of water and juice.

Once it's safe to get up and move around, walk around and explore th etrain. If you stay stuck in your seat, you will be more likely to become aware of evry senation your body has and that can lead to motion sickness. So distract yourself.

Also, I think there are now wristbands that control motion sickness and you don't have to take the drugs that dope you up and put you to sleep.
