"Family meeting! Living room! Now!" Eric Camden yelled into the house as he walked into the Camden family living room.

"Eric, what's wrong!" Annie Camden ran into the living room at the sound of his announcement.

"Nothing, I just need to assemble a family meeting is all."

"What? To tell us we're going bowling?" Simon Camden walked into the living room followed by Ruthie, Robbie, Lucy, Kevin, Sam and David.

"No. We are not going bowling. Even better."

"What could be better then bowling?" Simon asked sarcastically. Everyone sat down and waited for Eric to tell them what was going on.

"You wanna know what could be better then bowling? I'll tell you," he pulled an envelope out of his pocket. "This is what could be better."

"What's that?" Lucy asked.

"I hold in my hand ten free," he emphasized the word 'free', "tickets to Disneyland."

"You're kidding. . . Disneyland?" Ruthie began to get excited.

"The one and only Disneyland, California," he smiled at everyone.

"Where did you get those, Eric?" Annie asked her husband.

"The church gave them to me," Eric explained. "Chandler got two for himself, and I got ten. I think they thought that the Pastor and the Associate Pastor should get out and have a little fun and relaxation, and since the doctor said I can get out and do things now. . . well, they thought Disneyland would be fun."

"You have ten tickets, but there's only seven of us," Kevin noticed. "I'm assuming Sam and David get in free anyway."

"Yeah," he nodded.

"Who gets the other three?" Simon leaned forward anxiously.

"I figured that you could take Cecilia. Ruthie, you can take a friend if you want. Same with you Robbie."

"Can I take a boy?" Ruthie asked. Eric looked hesitant. "Ok, I'll take Alice."

"I don't have any friends," Robbie said.

"You could take Roxanne," Eric suggested.

"She's dating Chandler. Where have you been?" Robbie told him.

"She is? Oh, I must have missed that somewhere down the line. There's got to be someone you can take."

"No," was all Robbie said.

"Dad," Lucy interrupted. "I may know someone who might want that ticket. Do you mind?"

"No, as long as Robbie doesn't want the ticket. I figured you and Kevin would go off somewhere, though."

"Actually, Kevin and I could take Robbie and my friend with us. I really think it would be good for her, if I can talk her into it."

"Her? You trying to set Robbie up with someone?" Ruthie asked, very interested.

"No, not at all."

"Good, cause I'm not interested," Robbie told them. "But I'll go along with you guys if you want to invite her, whoever she is."

"Great! I'll talk to her tomorrow, and see if she'll go. When are we going?"

"Is Saturday ok for everyone?" They all nodded in agreement.
