So tonight Nicole calls me and tells me that she needed to be picked up. Her car broke down, and she was stuck at a gas station. She sounded stressed and cold. Picturing her in "Baby", the smoking '98 Mercury Sable, I imagined my sister dressed up for a party shivering in the car all alone in the middle of December, tired and hungry and counting down the minutes until help arrived. She was probably thinking of countless possibilities in order to fix the situation or if she were really bored, imagining to the extent of how she would survive the night if no help could come till morning. "Well I could use the blanket in the backseat to wrap myself up in, and my purse could be my pillow. I would wake up every couple hours to relock my car just in case, and possibly try the car again after it has cooled down a bit. I could wear the extra clothes that I carry in my bag on top of what I am wearing to keep warm too.", she would ponder.
Brushing the worst possible scenarios out of my brain I hung up the phone and yelled upstairs for my little sister, who I was babysitting at home, to get her shoes on because we were going for a roadtrip. I then went down to the basement taking the steps two at a time. When I came back up to the kitchen Rachel was ready to go with a big smile on her face. She couldn't wait to free her older sister from the evil villain who held her captive at Wawa! As I adjusted her hat, I tied a black cape around her coat. And then tied a red cape around my own coat. She gave me a look of confusion. "Well, we can't be superheroes without capes now can we?", I asked. She looked back at her cape and then at me. Her reply, "Let's do it! Superheroes to the rescue!" and immediately we sped away to rescue Nicole!! In no time at all we made it to the "Wawa Tower" where our dear princess was being held! I see Nicole's face as we pull into a parking space two down. She was all astounded that we had come, for she had told us not to because the King, our dad, was on his way from Fraser to pick her up instead, but we didn't care! Our sister was in trouble! We parked, climbed "off our sturdy steed" and with our fist high in the air and our capes flying in the wind, we ran over to her. Her laugh was so loud we could hear it through the car! She thought it was the coolest thing ever! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
