Disclaimer: o.k. you've seen this hundreds of timed in hundreds of stories and here it is again. I do NOT own the boy/girl battles Phyllis Reynolds Naylor does.
5 years after the Malloy's moved back to Ohio and Caroline was still that Broadway obsessed girl, and that's why when it was her turn to pick the summer family vacation spot she picked New York City.
"C'mon Dad! It would be so much fun! We could visit all the sights, stay at the Plaza Hotel and shop on Broadway!" Caroline tried to explain.
"I don't know, Caroline. If you AND your sisters are up to it then maybe we'll go." He said back.
"Sure dad. I'll try to convince them." She said happily.
She walked upstairs and found both her sisters in Eddie's room. Beth was sitting on the beanbag chair reading about some girl trying to find out about her neighbor's dark past while Eddie was on her bed listening to her ipod with her eyes closed.
"So", Eddie said with out opening her eyes, "you picked a place yet or what?"
"Yup!" Caroline said nodding her head up and down "How would you feel about New York City?" she asked.
"New York? I guess we could give it a chance." Beth said not looking up from her book.
"How about you, Eddie?" Caroline said in a hopeful tone with puppy dog eyes.
Eddie looked up to her. "Fine, if you don't give me those puppy dog eyes ever again."
"Yay! Thanks Eddie!" she said bouncing up and down ignoring her on the puppy dog eyes part.
Coach Malloy came to the door. "Well it looks like we're going to New York City."
