“All packed I take it?” Sprinkle asked as we sat on the floor of our old house. Storm was laying her back playing on her phone and reading God knows what. I wouldn’t put it past her ass to be reading sex fan written stories about Star Wars or something. Actually, Beauty might be the one to do that instead. Speaking of Beauty.

“Yeah. Where is Beauty Brass at?” I asked my two friends. I was leaving today and I honestly don’t know if I will ever see these three again. I was hoping she would be here soon. We were leaving in about an hour or so. Sprinkle and Storm looked at each other nervously.

“Sorry Bon but she’s on a date with Noteworthy right now,” Storm said hesitantly.

“Are you fucking serious? He literally lives in this town yet I’m moving and she can’t even come say goodbye? Fuck her,” I fumed. I might be overreacting but my feelings are hurt. She literally sees her boyfriend everyday at school, but she can’t come say bye. She didn’t even text me or call me telling me she couldn’t make it. It would be nice to be told this thing before hand.

“I agree,” Sprinkle sighed. “This was a duck move on her part. If Bon Bon of all people is cussing, shit is bad.” Storm nodded and raised an eyebrow.

“Did you just say a duck move?”

“Yes. A duck move,” Sprinkle smiled.

“Uhm I think you mean a dick move,” Storm pointed out. “A duck move just sounds like a duck on the move.” Sprinkle shook her head.

“I’m trying to be clean so I say a duck move,” she said solemnly.

“Yeah okay. Good luck with that,” Storm snorted and faced me. “She will text you or something. If not, I’ll bitchslap her. I never really liked her anyway.” I gawked at her in shock.

“Storm! You can’t be serious!” Sprinkle glared. Storm smirked at her.

“I’ll leave that up for you two to decide if I’m serious or not. Just don’t tell Beauty what I said.”

“Okay then. When do you gotta go?” Sprinkle asked me. I gave a sigh and checked my phone..

“Twenty minutes. Remember all the memories and sleep overs we had in this house?” We all gave fond sighs and smiled.

“Remember the one time that Sprinkle thought she found a snake in your shower at three am and screamed, waking up the whole block?” Storm grinned. Sprinkle turned a bright shade of red.

“It looked like a snake!” She defended herself. “Remember when Storm was talking in her sleep about fighting off the forces of evil and that Narnia was real?”

“Fuck off!” Storm laughed. “I thought we agreed never to speak of that again.”

“I thought we agreed to never mention the snake incident of two thousand and eight but we did,” Sprinkle retorted with a smirk. “That was a crazy year. Wasn’t that the year people said the world was going to end?”

“No. I think that was two thousand and twelve,” I shrugged with a finger on my chin. I had completely forgot the whackos said the world was going to end that year. It was even crazier that people actually believed it. I personally don’t believe in such things but evidently others did. I don’t think any of my friend group did either but who knows. I’m still learning about them everyday.

“Remember when we snuck pop into the movie theater and the guy asked what was that and Sprinkles dad just said it was his stump swinging around?” Storm asked. Sprinkle fell over and laughed.

“I couldn’t believe my dad did that. To this day, that was the funniest thing I have ever seen.” Her dad had lost his leg when he fought in a war and used crutches. He was a pretty nice guy if he wasn’t having a ptsd attack. Those were scary as hell man. I had never seen anything like that before in my life. I hope I never have to see one again.

“Yeah that was funny. The clerk looked so confused and was just like enjoy the movie,” I giggled.

“You ready to go Bon Bon?” Mom stuck her head in and I frowned.

“Is it time already?” I sighed. Mom gave a nod.

“Yeah unfortunately it is. Did you want me to pack snacks for the car ride?” I shrugged and nodded.

“How long is the drive?” Storm asked my mom.

“About a twenty to twenty five hour drive,” Mom answered and we all three cringed. That was a long time of driving. At least we planned to sleep in hotels on the way there instead of just driving the whole time. Pretty sure that was illegal to be honest.

“Dang,” Storm whistled. “You all drive safe and don’t forget to call and text us Bonnie.” We all three stood up.

“If you don’t, we will find you,” Sprinkle threatened with a smirk. “And attack you with pillows.”

“The hard kind. Not the fluffy kind,” Storm chimed in. I rolled my eyes.

“Thanks for the clarification Stormy.”

“What do you plan on doing the whole time?” Sprinkle asked. I held up my phone and head phones along with my charger and a few books.

“Gonna watch the Titanic,” I explained. Storm scoffed and rolled her eyes before gasping.

“Know what I just realized?” She asked.

“What?” I raised an eyebrow.

“Rose murdered him! She set the Titanic on fire before it went to sea too! She should go to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred. Straight to prison!” Storm shouted. Here we go again with the Monopoly references.

“The Titanic hit a iceberg though. It wasn’t on fire,” Sprinkle frowned.

“It actually did set on fire before it set sail. On the opposite side kept out of view of the public. Someone took a picture before they moved it and there was a giant black spot on the side. It’s where the iceberg hit. That’s why it sank was because the metal was already compromised. Otherwise it likely wouldn’t have sank,” Storm explained.

“Oh,” Sprinkle said as she hugged me. “Stay safe, ya hear? If you need us, we’re a text or call away.” I quickly hugged her back and Storm sighed as she joined in.

“We love ya so much,” Storm whispered. “I hate how hard this is. I’ve been trying to not pay attention to it but it’s hard to now that it’s actually happening.” She sounded like she was about to cry. That never happens. I can’t remember the last time I saw Storm cry. It was at least in fifth grade. Years ago at most. I hugged her with my free arm after I wiped a tear away.

“I love you guys too.”

Author's Note

Fun fact, the Titanic actually did catch on fire before it sank. The side it happened on was hidden from the publics eyes so it could still go on its voyage. This was a pretty hard chapter to write, saying good bye sucks.

I actually meant to say dick move but it got auto corrected to duck and I decided to run with it.
