Bella hops out the car and slams the door shut. “ Carful gonna break the window”. “Sorry Mom”, Bella contemplated, “It’s okay go open the door I’ll get the bags” Bella followed her mom instructions and preceding to the front door. “SURPRISE”, upon opening the door Bella looked to see her Dad and four friends Lilly Caleb, Hannah and Able all cheering inside. The kids jumped around while Dad shot confetti onto Bella. All Bella could do was smile as she turned to see her mom tearing up seeing how happy her daughter was. Bella enjoyed her party, if her mom wasn’t mistaken she was sure she had over heard Bella say “this is the best birthday ever”. That to bring tears to her face, it wasn’t about being the best parent rather than just being invested in her daughters life. Seeing her daughter laugh and goof around with her Dad made her mourn for the times everything seemed so simple, yet it brung a different feeling. Bella’s mom noticed how creative and expressive Bella was today. How her personality was embraced by her ability to balance and make informed decisions in regard to the group. She noticed the growth in Bella and that awareness brought inspiration to herself. The awareness disguised itself as a thought to stop feeling sorry and to create more out of life. Bella looked up from the dinning table sitting with her friends as she watched her mom ask her Dad for a dance. As Bella watched her parents dance it gave Bella a idea, but she was going to need help from a friend.
As the day came to a night and Bella’s Dad cleaned the last confetti piece from under the coach, Bella scurried off to her room. *Knock Knock* “Goodnight sweetheart Happy Birthday…” Bella’s Dad enters the room as Bella hops into bed, Dad leans to give Bella a kiss. Bella’s plan was following right on schedule, go to sleep early and dream all night. If only it would be so easy, as Bella’s Dad leaves her room Bella’s mom comes in shortly after letting him out. “Mom can you read me The End of the Rainbow?”. “Ofcourse sweetie”, Bella’s Mom replies. After Mom grabs the blue cover book of a girl with 3 balloons walking a gold path, she snuggles next to Bella in bed. “Once upon a time, there was a rainbow, and at the end of that rainbow was a land where everything was sweet. Where everyone was happy and anything was possible”. Bella’s Mom looked to her daughter who was admiring the illustration of a little girl jumping into a purple pool of liquid. “Fairies and dwarfs lived west of Gumdrop Drop while the elf’s lived in the forest. The sky’s was full of stars while the land was littered in delicious goodness.” Bella’s Mom turned to Bella as their eyes met, “I love you mom”, “I love you my sweet baby”, Bella’s Mom kisses Bella goodnight and leaves the room for her to sleep. Bella snuggles up and closes her eyes but nothing happens. Bella must of sat for 20 mins before she rolled over in frustration, “I can’t sleep”. Bella tried rolling over and flipping the pillow to the cooler side but nothing seemed to help. Bella didn’t want to get out of bed to wake her mom so she thought about counting sheep. Bella must’ve counted to at least 7000 before she was fast asleep.
Waking up in “The End of the Rainbow” this time felt different, it felt powerless. She walked around to notice the lands had lost if not all majority of its color. the golden chocolate roads looked as stone, while the once colorful mountains were only shades of grey. Even the sky’s stars lost their vibrancy, and gave a dull odd fog over the lands. Bella walked the path in search of anyone with the answers to what happen. As she approached feet could be heard scattering off and doors slamming behind them. Bella notice a weakly fairy walking with not enough power to fly but upon offering her assistance and the fairy noticing her it quickly fell over stiff. Its was almost if everyone in “The End of the Rainbow” were avoiding her. It made her feel angry and as soon as she frowned Alice and Egore appeared before her. “What’s your problem why everything has to be your way?” Alice shouted. Bella confused from the remark, “What do you want from me?”. As Bella starts to walk towards the group of two Alice yells, “Stop or he will attack”. Bella looked to Egore, Egore made a smirk and Bella took another step. “Go”, Alice whispered, as Egore launched from his position in a full sprint towards Bella. “Egore…” Bella stated. “Egore we are friends remember…” And before Bella could dodge, BAM!
