Danielle's POV

        Finally it's today! Today is going to be SPARKLERIFIC!!! I'm totally dressed, change my outfit three times, checked my hair twice, and now I'm sitting and waiting the family piano. Are my family always this slow on Sunday mornings? Mom and Dad are finishing up... at least I hope they are. Last time I checked... which might have been a few seconds ago, my older sister, Reagan was still working on her hair. As she had been doing for over an hour now.

        When I think about today I get excited about what could be in store. Our pastor told us that today at church there was going to be a special guest, but he wouldn't tell us who it was... No matter how much we begged. And believe me when I say... we begged. Oh boy did we ever beg. He looked right at me when he said that it was "someone very special". At first I thought it had just been my imagination, but then again... maybe not?

        After the sermon last week, I asked why he looked at me. He gave me a weird look and laughed, "I don't know what you are talking about" And he winked as he said it. Ugh!!! I love surprises but this week has been SOO slow. Just like this morning. I'm still sitting at the piano and start playing it absentmindedly. It took me a second to recognize the little tune, but then I jumped in singing, "It's only for today! It's agony to wait!!"

Before I can play around any more my parents are in the room, standing at attention. Reagan flashes me a silly grin. "Come on little sis! You're holding up the show!" I leap to my feet and rush my family out the door and into our minivan.

"Hurry up guys!" I say with each step.

"Wow slow down... Not all of us are the speed of light." My family echoes each other all at once.

We finally get there and I couldn't believe my eyes. I shook my head, thinking it must have just been a mirage. I mean it HAD TO BE,... right? My sister is giving me a funny look as we enter through the church doors. "You okay Dani?"

"Fine." I murmur. My breath catches. My mirage is there again. Towards the front of the church, he's standing there with that familiar smile and GORGEOUS eyes! "Ohmygosh! Oh my gosh!!!!" I squeal (way WAY louder than I meant to). He might have gotten a glimpse of me... I am really hoping that he didn't see me, cause I ran away to catch up with my family as fast as I could.

It turned out he had seen me, he waved. Yikes! I took a seat in our pew and looked at my shoes like they were the most interesting thing I had ever seen in my life.
