CHAPTER 4, the plan

It's now daytime as the light of the sun shines through the window, a few clouds in the sky as the birds chirp, which is suddenly interrupted by the sound of stuff moving... It was Jason packing bags for when they leave today. Suddenly, he hears a voice.

"What's going on?" Ashley says as she rubs her eye and sits up, looking at Jason with her eyes still red from crying.

"Well, I see you're awake, Ash," he says as he stands up and walks towards her and rubs her head with the same look he always has. Ashley gets up and chuckles a bit before noticing the bags and stuff packed.

"What's all of this?" she says with a confused look and walks towards the bags while looking back and forth between Jason and the bags, realizing what's about to happen. Her face saddens as she looks at Jason and speaks.

"So we have to leave... but what about my dad?" she says with a hint of concern and heartbreak, knowing she might have to leave her father behind. Jason walks over to her and looks at her.

"Look, I understand you care for your father, but he can't come with us. When the time is right, we will come back, okay?" He touches her shoulder, making sure she knows he is telling the truth and so he doesn't worry her. Ashley nods, understanding she has to run away because of this unknown creature called the gorgons.

"But where will we even go?" she says with a worried and confused tone as she looks at Jason, waiting for a reply. Jason walks towards the window and looks at the sky before speaking.

"I don't know, but we will need to change some stuff, like names," he says before turning around and looking at Ashley and crossing his arms. Ashley then walks over and thinks before speaking.

"Hmm... I can change my name to RhiRhi and dye my hair a different color," she says while she touches her hair and looks at him for a reply.

"Well, that would be a good idea—" Jason is cut off by the door slamming open. It was KK who was excited to see them and get going before their parents can realize they are gone.

"Alright, guys, everything is set up. I got the RV waiting outside, we should get going," he says as he looks at the two of them, ready to go. Jason and Ashley look at each other and grab the bags and walk out to the RV.

Outside, they go into the RV and put everything in there, all ready to go. "Alright, we should be ready to go. Come," Jason says, getting in the RV and KK following behind him. Ashley takes one more look back before getting in the RV and sitting down.

"Alright, I'm ready. Let's go," she says as she looks out the window when the RV starts and they drive away, now leaving the old life behind. KK looks at her before speaking.

"Kyle," he looks at her while he says that, trying to start a conversation to distract her from leaving.

"What?" Ashley says with a confused look as she looks at him.

"Kyle, my new name will be Kyle," he says while looking at her with a smile on his face.

"RhiRhi, my new name will be RhiRhi." She laughs and puts her hand out to shake his hand. Kyle shakes her hand back and laughs.

"What about Jason? Will he have a new name?" he says, looking at where Jason drives the RV, obviously focused on the road.

"We can ask him sometime later. Right now I'm tired," she says as she lays down and stares at the ceiling of the RV.

"Guess this is my life now," she thinks to herself before we zoom out, watching the RV drive off.
