Chapter 1: Questions

"Modesto, California, August 20th 2027"

"Well, then we're stuck, Peter. Neither of my parents want it." Chuckie said.

"Then I'm out of answers." Peter said.

Just then, Tommy and Dil walked over.

"Hey, what's wrong, you two?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, tell us. Your looking rather grim." Dil added.

Peter smiled.

"How considerate of you and your brother to come running. I have two tickets to a free vacation in Daytona Beach, but we can't figure out which of us should go with me. It's a huge headache." Peter explained.

"Well, I'm not quite sure if I want to go, if it means cheating the others out of a vacation. So, Dil, I think you should go." Tommy said.

"And get a tan? No thanks." Dil said.

"Then we remain at an impasse. We must ask the others. But I doubt Kimi would go anywhere without me or the kids, or go just because she's married to me. And there's no telling what trouble Angelica would get into there." Peter said.

Just then, Phil walked into the room, followed by Lil, Angelica, Susie, Kimi, Zack, and Jesse.

"We heard everything! You should go on this vacation, Tommy. You deserve it way more." Phil said.

"Well, I think I should go. I could use the tan." Angelica said.

The rest of the group continued to argue about it. After awhile, Peter got an idea and calmed down the group.

"How about this? Let's settle this in a sort of party consisting of mini-games. The winner gets the second ticket and comes with me on the trip." Peter asked.

The group thought about it and agreed to it.

"Then it's settled. Meet up with me at the castle in an hour." Peter ordered.
