The Resistance

Wind was awoken by the sunlight hitting her face from Marigold's bedroom window. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She stood up and made her way to the bathroom. After relieving herself, she checked her phone. It was going on one o'clock. She gathered up her stuff and headed downstairs. Marigold's mother had fallen asleep at her workbench and was slumped over the half finished dress she was working on. Wind made her way to the door and shut it quietly behind her. Once she got home, she showered and got dressed. She went to the living room and flopped down on the couch. Her phone blipped and she looked at the number.

"(0770)090-0461? What kind of number is that?" Wind asked aloud as she hit the end call button.

She switched on the TV and flipped through the channels. Her phone rang again, this time it was Cherry.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey, Wind. Wanna help me throw a party tonight?" She asked.

"I'd love to, but, where are we going to have it at?" Wind replied.

"We could have it at your place. Didn't your parents go to Las Pegasus for their anniversary?" She asked.

"Oh, yeah. I wondered why it was so quiet around here. Sounds good. What time you guys going to come over?" Wind replied. "I thought we could start about five." Cherry said.

"Sounds good to me." Wind said.

"Yay! See you then!" Cherry yelled as she hung up.

Wind watched TV until about four thirty, when Cherry arrived to set up for the party. She brought her mother's party cannon to help speed things along. The house was decorated and party ready by four fifty. Wind's phone rang again. She looked at the screen.

"(0770)090-0461? Who is this and why do they keep calling me?" Wind asked rhetorically.

"It looks like it could be important." Cherry said from Wind's shoulder.

"Yea, or a telemarketer trying to get my credit card number. Let's just start calling everyone." Wind replied.
