~ The Summer Of Changes ~ Part 71

Amazing part

Hah, a combo.
I got bunch of new ideas last night just before I went to sleep. As a result, didn't sleep much when I was planning the story further... -.-"
But thanks girls! (:

Petili *wiggles eyebrows* Makes me think of petit and little

Aww, but you can sleep extra now since el parte is posted (:

Petili???! HAHA!

This story is haunting me every night... I know I should concentrate on what's happening right now there but no... my mind is only thinking a perfect ending for this. And I still need to write manymanymany pages before I would be even close the end..

It's a combination

Just take it easy. You could write ideas down so they're not the main thing in your head. I have notebooks and pens lying everywhere in my room

I've done that already...I've even written some lyrics down from some songs so that those texts would inspire me more and I could catch the ideas which I got while listening to the songs.. Now I have all the main ideas written down but there's still some many ideas or scenes/convos etc rounding in my head... I guess I'll never get rid of them, it has happened with every story. And I don't have time to write them all down...sometimes when I really try to do that all the ideas vanish and suddenly I don't have anything to write. xD The best way is to write only key words/sentences so when I read it I remember what I was thinking..

That was a long speech. I should probably write some more and post it here I guess...

Usually if I don't write all of it down, I forget everything xD I'm such an egg

That's always an option haha

Dad had decided we would leave towards the summer cottage already on the Monday morning. We would come back some time around the following week a little before the school would start. I couldn’t go to the final palaver of the theatre which would be hold in Monday. Actually it didn’t bother me, I would have had to watch and hear how everybody would have praised Pete’s work there. And it wasn’t so required me to be there. I was happy I could leave the city for a while, away from all the rush and far away from the obligations. I would be able to relax for in peace and do exactly what I wanted and when I wanted. Even mom couldn’t spoil this trip.

On Monday morning we packed ourselves into our car with all the stuff. This about a hundred kilometres way to the cottage would be a total suffer. Vili Timo and I were sitting on the back seat and the atmosphere was a bit cramped there. We could barely close the boot and dad had to put the skibox above the car so that we could take all the fishing equipment with us. Besides, I was tired and Vili didn’t seem to be any more refreshed than me. Last evening we had planned a bit what we would do there and I had told what kind of place it was. And our meeting had went longer and longer so I had again climbed through my window to my room some time in the night. And Timo had woken me around seven in the morning. What was that time to wake up during the holiday? We would have had enough time to go to the cottage even we would have left a couple of hours later. The worst thing was that Timo was alert as a little bird in the morning. He was talking all the time during the beginning of the way. Timo was a morning person and he couldn’t cope with the idea that somebody couldn’t be ready to be with him straight away in the morning. That would cause a little problem at the cottage. I guessed that Timo wouldn’t get a friend of me or Vili before the noon. I gave a portable game console to Timo in the middle of his explanation and ordered him to be quiet. At least I would try to sleep in the car.

When we finally were at the cottage, I couldn’t feel my legs anymore. That was because I had to sit my knees almost in my ears and I couldn’t change my position at all. When I managed to step out from the car others had already took all the stuff from there car and were putting places ready. I felt like I had run straight to a wall. I tried to clear my head and went in to see what everyone was doing. Mom was there explaining that we didn’t really need to sleep outside in the tent.
- Yeah, but we want and that’s it, I said and mom turned to look at me surprised.
- Can I sleep in the tent too? Timo joined to a choir.
- No. It’s for two people so there’s no space for you there even you’re so tiny, I answered strictly.
- I’m not tiny…! And I want to sleep there too! Timo started to scream.
I sighed deep. A good start for the whole trip…
- Timo, you’ll get the whole room for yourself and you don’t need to complain about Eve’s habits, dad tried to convince him.
- Yes, think about it now Timo. It’s much nicer when you don’t need to share the room with anyone, I continued.
Timo tried to complain about it but also mom was against it. It shut Timo’s mouth finally, usually mom didn’t forbid anything from him.
- Come. Let’s put up the tent on the yard, I said to Vili and pulled him outside. – I don’t want to listen to that anymore.

We managed to get the tent easily there, I had done it many times at the scout camps. I went into the tent. I was going to look what kind of it was inside. When Vili came there too the atmosphere was pretty tight, Vili wasn’t a tiny one either.
- You said this is for two people… I muttered when I was looking it.
- They have had to use dwarfs as their measure, Vili grinned.
- I suppose so… Well, it won’t be cold in the night when we have to sleep so close each other, I said.
- Your mom wouldn’t like this if she saw this, Vili said after a while.
- Probably but we won’t tell about this, I grinned.

I promised to Timo to go fishing with him when he wanted so he wouldn’t feel so bad anymore. Quickly Timo had grabbed his fishing equipment and life jacket and was ready to go. I didn’t have many options than to put the boat ready and go fishing with Timo. Vili came with us of course, he didn’t want to stay under mom’s eyes alone.

The cottage was ashore in the cape. There weren’t other cottages near us, the nearest little shop was almost ten kilometres away. I had been fishing there all my short life so I knew the lake like my own pockets. I had forced dad to teach me how to use the engine of the boat so that he didn’t need to be with me all the time.

When we finally we ready to go, I saw how excited Timo was. I was afraid we wouldn’t be back very soon.

I cheated myself to think that when I'm writing this I'm actually studying for my English final exam which is on Wednesday...

Great part

Nice way to cheat yourself

Thanks.
Lol, I know.. I've become pretty good at it lately... Studying Finnish by reading novels all the time or writing something unnecessary. Studying English by reading or writing in English or even watching English spoken TV series. Studying Spanish by watching "Los Serrano" or weird Spanish movies (means Pedro Almodóvar's movies)... xD Though I haven't still found a way to study maths in any other way that doing all those annoying exercises.

You could always watch Numb3rs to study Maths

Great part Heli (:

Thankies. :]
I guess the maths they use in Numb3rs is way too difficult for me. I've enough to do with the college maths...

Lol xD Tell me about it But I do like the way they use Maths there

Dad warmed up our sauna in the evening. It was lovely to get there to relax. We had sat in the boat almost four hours before Timo finally agreed to leave. And it was mainly because of hunger. We couldn’t get any good fishes only some little pikes even we all had lures in the lake. And I had to touch all those slimy creatures because Timo had got used to that I would take the pikes off from the lures. Then Vili followed Timo’s example and gave all his fishes to me.

Luckily mom had made the dinner ready for us so we didn’t need to listen to Timo’s complaining about how hungry he was. After the dinner Timo would have wanted to go to the lake once again but I didn’t agree to do that anymore. At last he managed to talk dad into leaving, they were going to put some nets somewhere in the lake.

I went to the tent early with Vili because we both were tired after a long day. Our stuff took a half of Timo’s room because there weren’t enough space in the tent for the extra stuff. I took a flashlight, a book and of course my phone with me even I guessed I would woke up in the morning the things under me.
- I’ll eat you if you’re rolling while you’re sleeping, I threatened Vili when we both tried to go to our sleeping bags at the same time.
- I’ll throw you out if you’re trying that. This is my tent after all, Vili said back.
- If you dare to do that, you’ll walk back home! I answered.
Vili burst into laughter. – We are arguing like an old couple, he laughed.
- Really funny, I muttered and turned my back to Vili. – I’ll sleep now. Good night.
- Good night, Vili answered and laughed still.

But I couldn’t catch any Z’s for a long time. It took time for me to get used to this sleeping place. And besides, I haven’t slept with anyone in the same room for a long time. Even the breathing of other person not to mention about moving disturbed my sleep. I was moving restlessly and tried to find a position where the ground wouldn’t feel so badly.
- Can’t you sleep? Vili asked quietly.
- No. The new place requires a little adapting. And I’ve used to sleep alone so this feels a bit strange.
- Same here, Vili grinned.
- We should have two-room tent that we could put some kind of clothe between the rooms, I was planning.
- It won’t stop hearing your snoring, Vili twitted.
- I’m not snoring! I shouted.
- How do you know that? You just said you’re sleeping alone, Vili laughed.
- Then the snoring person could be as well you! I argued back.
- Yes, I could. Who ever knows what you’re doing while sleeping…
- You’re hopeless, start to sleep, I told.
- But I can’t sleep, Vili was complaining like a little kid.
- Shut up now! Or…
- Or what?
I pulled my pillow quickly under my head and hit it to Vili’s face.
- Oh thanks, I got another pillow. That was a really nice gesture, Vili thanked gladly and pressed the pillow against his chest.
- NOOO! Give my pillow back to me! I yelled and tried to pull it back.
It was totally in vain, Vili was much stronger than me. I beat and poked Vili but he was only laughing.
- You’re unfair! I complained and crossed my arms to my chest and pouted my lips.
- You’re really cute when you get mad, Vili grinned.
- And you aren’t cute even if you’re mad, I said. – Give my pillow back!
- Ask nicely.
- Can I have my pillow back?
- Not enough, Vili shook his head.
- Could I get my pillow back, please? I fizzed.
- Ah, finally. I didn’t even now you could speak so beautifully, Vili was twitting me again.
On the contrary I muttered some swear words when I swore him to be quiet at last.
- I’m pretty sure you managed to make some bruises to my arms, Vili complained.
- It’s only your fault. You could’ve given the pillow back.
- If you had asked, you could’ve got it. You can’t always get what you’re demanding.
- Oh yeah, can we finally sleep now? I asked tiredly.
- Don’t you know that I’m usually awake at nights?
- Well, at least now I know. But really…I’m tired, I mumbled and yawned long.

My power was gone all of a sudden. I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore and I had obviously fallen asleep in the middle of my sentence. Or at least that was what Vili said next day. I was sleeping calmly when Vili touched gently my cheek and whispered:
- Sweet dreams.
In my dream Vili was explaining me how beautiful dreams he had seen last night…about me.

Awwww

Nawww...
I'm totally Team Vili
No Pete. no Petili. Team Vili FTW

As cute as this pig smiley here I suppose...?
But the Team Vili can cause some problems there, you know...

As cute as the pig smiley yes
Well.. I don't care. Pete's an asshole and that's worse than the problem he can cause.

But the asshole can have feelings too...
Ok, I stop now before I'm talking too much!

He's still an ass and I don't really like him. Vili is nicer but I can guess that my version of a happy ending won't become reality

Dunno about the happy ending myself either... I have still too many ideas for it and the plot is changing all the time when I'm writing more and more.. So, I guess anything can happen, even the happy ending with Vili. xD

Haha xD
I think Pete will get jealous because Vili went with her on vacation and fights with Vili. Or something like that

I woke up in the morning when there started to be hot and too much light in the tent. Vili’s side of the tent was already empty, I hadn’t heard him leaving. I crawled out of the tent and blinked my eyes in the bright sunlight. I went in to the cottage to change my clothes and search something to eat. I didn’t see anyone anywhere. Finally I found Timo and Vili who were sitting on the dock while Timo was throwing a lure in the lake.
- Well well, the sleepyhead woke up, Vili grinned.
- Eveee… Can we go to fishing now? Timo was asking right away.
- No, we aren’t going anywhere now. It’s too hot. Wouldn’t it be nicer to go after the sauna at the night? Then it would be even possible to get something. Any fish isn’t swimming in such hot weather, I said to Timo. – Where are dad and mom?
- They’re picking up the strawberries there, Timo waved his hand towards our strawberry field.
- Alright. Vili, how about a little cycling trip? There’s a village shop about ten kilometres away from here, we drove past it when we came here. At least I would like to have some ice cream or something, I suggested.
- I’m in. So, let’s go? Vili asked.
- Yeah. I need to say to dad or mom about it. And we could go to swim too, there’s a good beach on our way, I planned.
- I want to swim too! Timo started yelling.
- You can go with dad. And besides, you don’t have the power to walk there and back because we only have one bike. And we want to go together there, I said and left Timo sitting on the dock pouting his lips.
That’s why brining friends at the cottage was so stressing sometimes, Timo wanted to do everything with me and my friends. He couldn’t understand that sometimes his company wasn’t needed.

I informed dad that we were going to the village shop and swimming. We changed the swimming suits under our clothes and I took the old bike from the shed. I pumped the tyres full of air before leaving.
- Perhaps it’s better that you’ll drive, I said. – It would be a little unsure driving if you sat on the carrier, I grinned.
- I wouldn’t even agree to sit there if you drove, Vili stuck his tongue out and grabbed the handlebars.
- I’ll show you… I muttered and jumped on the carrier.
We decided to go to the shop first and swimming on our way back to the cottage. The way there went quickly by talking, I told about the people who were living in the houses on the way to the shop. Our cottage was at the tip of the cape and we had pretty much land around it. The cottage road united after five kilometres to bigger grit road where other cottages and old farms by it were, like the village shop.

There weren’t many people in the shop when we entered there. And behind the counter was still the same old woman, like years ago. I ended up taking the biggest ice cream the shop could offer, it was so hot that I needed some cooling and fast. Vili was satisfied with smaller one. We were sitting under a shelter which was set up in front of the shop. At least it cooled a bit the heat.
- Why the hottest days of this summer have to be now? I really hope that this heat isn’t here when the school starts. We’ll bake like chickens in the oven in the classroom! I complained to Vili.
- I prefer enjoying this heat now, when we have a long winter coming up. I have to freeze enough then, Vili said his opinion.
- I guess I’m not meant to live in any southern countries. I can’t stand this kind of heat. And besides, feeling the cold is only a question of clothing, I said.
- I guess we’re ready to swim. Your brain is becoming too hot already, Vili twitted.
I chased Vili until our bike threatening to make mincemeat of him when we would get to beach out of other’s views. Vili only laughed. He knew I couldn’t do anything to him. My revenge was to poke Vili’s ribs all way to the shore even he threatened to leave me walking in this infernal heat.

There was a little path which separated of the cottage road and led to the lake. At the shore was a little area of sand so the place looked like a real beach. And my family owned these lands which made the whole thing much better. Our own beach! We left the bike next to the road, nobody would take it anyway. So we walked along the path to the beach. I left my clothes on a stone and tried how cold the water was. Vili followed me soon.
- This is cold… I complained when I was wading in the water.
- Don’t complain, at least it’s not hot, Vili said.
- Is it good then if my feet are freezing and head burning? I asked.
- Are you ever satisfied or are you complaining only because it’s nice to do it? Vili asked.
- I’m never content…. The water is too cold, I answered.
- Alright. That’s enough, Vili gave up.
As quickly as a lightning he grabbed me on his arms and waded further. When I understood what he was going to do I started to scream like a little girl. There was a huge splash when Vili dropped me into the water. At least I realized to shut my mouth before it, otherwise my lungs would have been full of water. When I finally managed to stand up on my feet, my hair all wet, Vili was swimming far away from me.
- Come back here so we can have an honest fight! Let’s see who will win then! I yelled.
I heard that Vili just laughed and I saw he swam still further. I knew I didn’t have many chances to win. Vili was bigger than me in many respects.

I swam near the shore and enjoyed the cool water which I had already accustomed. Vili span some time in the middle of the lake until I saw him coming carefully closer.
- Are you still mad? he asked still being far enough to escape.
- No I’m not, but don’t even imagine that I would forget that, I said and rolled my eyes angrily to Vili.
- Okay, I confess it wasn’t fair to do so but otherwise you would be still standing at the shore, Vili explained with regretting voice.
- Fine… Though I already said I’m not angry, I said with bored voice when I got up from the water.
The sun dried the skin quickly.
- I guess we should go back to the cottage already. The dinner might be ready, I said when I was putting my clothes on.
- Are you ever thinking anything but food? Vili sighed.
- No I’m not! I grinned. – But the one who is the last one by our bike can walk to the cottage! I yelled and started to run.

It was an easy win for me. Vili didn’t even have clothes on not to mention anything about his shoes when I had yelled the challenge. Vili had to walk about two kilometres long way back to cottage when I would cycle.

Ok, these parts are huge now.

Good girl

Parts are just perfect size...

Mwehehe
Great part Heli, don't worry about the size ^^
