Alice felt hot. Hot and sick! They were sat in a car in Africa! Flipping Africa! Not content with Spain, Danny goes one step further. To say she was shocked was an understatement. She felt really ill and unfortunately the sickness tablets she had taken before she got on the flight hadn't worked. She'd spent most of the flight throwing up. She really definitely shouldn't fly. It killed her! Never usually THIS ill but it had been a few years since she flew anywhere. And of course the flight had taken 12 hours. YES 12 HOURS! She'd spent 11 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds being sick! And the food hadn't helped, it smelled worse than it looked. She hadn't dared hazard a taste! Her stomach rolled again at the thought of it. I'm not on the flight anymore go away! She thought and breathed heavily.

"Honey are you ok?" Danny asked looking in the rear-view mirror at his wife's almost green complexion.

She nodded stiffly, still feeling bleh!

"Right Eth, Lex. Is it right left or straight ahead?"

Unfortunately with Alice out of action the kids were manning the map which means in an hours time they'd be looking round puzzled most definitely lost! They'd hung around the airport for an hour waiting for Mr Du Plessis to show, he didn't. They rang Leopards Den. No reply. So thankfully Danny who had brought his drivers license hired a car and bought a map!

"Left." Ethan said.

"Right." Lexi said at the same time.

"Oh god!" Danny murmured. He slowed the car gradually trying not to make Alice any worse than she was. Unfortunately they lurched forward when he hit a pot hole. Then came to a stop.

"I'm gone!" Alice muttered and burst from the car behind a bush.

Travel sickness! Danny thought then looked at the kids. "Don't get out of the car!"

They were soon in a heated debate on which way they should go.

"Alice." he said.

"I'm dying!" she moaned.

She was at behind the bush looking hot tired and ill.

He smiled at her tone. He helped her up. "You got any more travel sickness tablets?"

"They didn't work when I was on the plane so it's unlikely they will work now. Plus Danny if I take any more tablets I'm likely to rattle!"

He held her arm as she walked back to the car. They saw the kids fighting over the map. She managed a small smile.

"Lex, we are supposed to turn left, then right then left and we're there stupid!" Ethan said angrily.

"No idiot features, it's right then right then left!" Lexi said just as angry.

"Gimmie the map!" Danny said. "Where are we?"

Ethan pointed.

"Am surprised you got that right!" Lexi said dryly.

"Ha-ha." he said. You probably think we're over there somewhere!" he pointed to the left of the map.

"Actually no Ethan coz that is the sea STOOPID!"

"Well you are blond!"

Lexi's jaw dropped at the insult and she was about to let rip.

"Quiet!" Danny said sharply looking at the map.

Alice was at in the car sipping water. Ethan climbed in the back of the car and leant forward. "You ok Alice?"

She nodded. "Yeah. My body still thinks it's on the plane. Like the 12 hour flight wasn't long enough!"

He smiled. "Hopefully it'll pass soon!"

Lexi climbed in the car and so did Danny.

"I was right wasn't I." Ethan said smugly.

"Actually you were both wrong. We go straight ahead!" he muttered.

"I'm blond what's your excuse." Lexi said to Ethan.

He shot her a dark look. They were both smiling at each other though. Insulting each other was showing affection. Ethan was worried what would happen if they stopped insulting each other.

They drove for another hour. Alice was literally getting paler by the minute.

"You want me to stop for a minute?" Danny asked Alice. She was practically hanging out of the window.

"I'm fine, or I will be when we're not in motion. But if you stop driving now you'll never get going again so just drive yeah."

He nodded.

(X)

They turned a corner and finally saw a house.

"Oh my God!" Lexi said in horror. "Please tell me this is a joke. This is SO not where we are staying!"

"Lexi this is leopards Den." Danny said.

"I know what it is I wanna know what we are doing here!"

"Well holiday Africa." he said and let her work it out for herself.

"Dad I haven't watched Wild at Heart since I was 12 years old!"

The car came to a stop. Anders Du Plessis was sat on the steps. He looked momentarily startled when he seen them. "Damn!" he muttered. "Knew I shouldn't of had that whiskey last night."

Danny climbed out of the car and opened the door for Alice. He grabbed her hand and helped her out.

"I'm not doing that for you!" Ethan muttered to Lexi.

"I don't want you to!" Lexi muttered back.

Danny went over and shook Anders hand. "Hello Mr Du Plessis. I'm Danny and this is my wife Alice, and believe it or not the fighting kids are Lexi and Ethan. Although we personally think someone swapped them for our kids a while ago and we never noticed till now."

"Please call me Dupe. Mr Du Plessis was my father."

"Hello kids." he gave Lexi a funny look as she surveyed his house. Lexi didn't like the dirty look he gave her at the look on her face.

"Funny har har dad!" Lexi muttered and stared at the house. Lexi pushed her sunglasses off her face and rested them on her tousled hair. "Has this place got electricity or even running water. It looks older than you!" she said to Dupe. That should put him in his place! He had no right looking at her like that!

Ethan suppressed a burst of laughter.

"LEXI!" Alice said loudly.

Dupe smiled then said. "Yeah kid we got lions too remember that!" he warned.

Ethan laughed and so did Danny. Lexi glared.

"You so deserved that Lex!" Ethan said.

"No one asked you!" Lexi retorted.

"Unfortunately Mr Trevanion you are unable to stay here. We had a store last week and your guest hut was obliterated. It's uninhabitable! You'll have to go and stay over at Mara Lodge. " Dupe looked at Lexi. "She'll be happy about that."

"Ohh what a shame. I shall miss you really." Lexi said cockily. "Right I'm ready to go!" she said standing by the car. She glared at Dupe for effect.

"I'm going for a wander. It's no fun watching Lexi argue with people!" he muttered. although it was fun watching her be out in her place.

Ethan disappeared round a corner. They heard the roar of a motorcycle. Is stopped by the house. There were two people on the bike. Both took their helmets off and dismounted. Rather gracefully for men too. They surveyed the people outside the house. The one who drove the bike dismissed them but his passenger looked at Lexi with definite interest.

"This the guests?" the driver asked.

"Yeah Evan." Dupe said then said "Hello Tristan." to the passenger.

"Hey Dupe."

"Have a nice stay." Tristan said to Lexi. And looked her up and down. Clearly liking what he saw.

Lexi was staring. Tristan had thick brown hair the colour of mahogany and brown eyes the exact shade of Ethan's. He was the most perfect example of manliness she had ever seen except for….. No she wasn't going to think about that. Her mouth gaped slightly. He said have a nice stay and smiled and she'd almost fell on her face and she hadn't even moved yet! His friend could go to hell. Evan or whatever. She didn't like being dismissed that pissed her off. But Tristan he was nice, good looking too! She decide to take step forward to introduce herself, she ended up standing on a rock. She skidded and ended up on her bum in the dirt. She shrieked as she fell. Evan and Tristan turned back and looked at her then. Eyes twinkling with amusement. They both had a half smile on their faces.

Danny walked over and picked Lexi up.

"Get off me dad!" she hissed. Then smiled a charming smile at Tristan and Evan. She then coolly said "Hey." she wiped the dust from her clothes. "I'm Alexis."

Danny and Alice nearly burst out laughing. Lexi glared at them. Both boys laughed and walked away.

"Ooo Alexis!" Danny said grinning.

She looked at her dad with her face saying don't even dare start! "That was so NOT cool parents!" Lexi said angrily.

"What we did nothing!" Alice said.

Danny ruffled Lexi's hair knowing it would annoy her. Lexi raised herself to her full 6 feet, she almost looked her dad in the eye.

"Do I have to murder you to make you keep your hands off my hair?" she asked. "You messed it up!" she said annoyed.

"It looks the same to me!" Danny said.

"You messed it up!" she repeated a warning in her tone.

"You mean it's supposed to look like that?" he asked playfully.

Lexi looked at her mother in shock then back at her father.

"You so did not just say my hair was messy did you?" Lexi asked in a deadly tone of voice.

Danny looked at Alice in a help me plea. Maybe he shouldn't have said the last comment!

"No way." Alice said. "I love you but your on your own. Your not dragging me into this. I like life!" Alice said.

Danny looked back and Lexi and her hair. He'd admit they spent an un-natural amount of money on hair products for Lexi to have her hair a mess.

"Well father?" Lexi asked arms crossed.

"Well Lex it does look sorta messy."

Alice winced. "Now your in for it!"

"Oh my freaking GOD!" she shrieked. "You know nothing! My hair is tousled and windblown NOT messy!" she motioned to it.

Danny looked at his daughter perplexed. "Couldn't you just stick your head out of a window for wind blown?"

Lexi's face was a funny red colour. She looked like she was about to explode.

Alice had to try so hard to hold back her laughter. Danny held his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Sorry baby girl!"

"I'm going to find Ethan Arghhh!" she said through gritted teeth and stormed off.

Danny looked at Alice still confused but smiling. Alice smiled back at him. "You know I never could understand woman and I have a daughter!"

"I know but Danny do you have to torment her?" Alice paused . "Stupid question?" she asked.

"You know me so well!" he answered.

"Anyway Mr Trevanion, I have already sorted arrangements with Mara, They have the room." Dupe said, he had watched the whole exchange with a smile.

A woman appeared at the door.

"Anders why didn't you tell me the guest had arrived?"

"I'm dealing with them woman!"

She walked towards them regardless. "Mr and Mrs Trevanion welcome to Leopards Den. I'm Caroline Du Plessis. I'm sure my husband has told you of our little predicament. We have alternate arrangements If you'd like to hear them."

"Yes Mr Du Plessis told us about Mara." Alice said.

Caroline glared at her husband.

Lexi and Ethan appeared from around the corner. Ethan was grinning and gave Danny a thumbs up. Lexi elbowed him.

"Why don't you come inside and I'll sort you out a drink." Caroline said.

"Sure." the 6 people trooped inside.

Caroline poured orange juice for the kids. "Can I have orange juice too. My stomach has finally settled after my flight and the coffee might start it off!" Plus the smell of the coffee was making her feel abit ill too!

"I'll have the same too then!" Danny said and smiled at Alice.

"Thanks," came from the people around the table.

"I spoke to my husband and we…"

"Not WE you decided!" Dupe grumbled.

"Fine I decided that if you wanted you could stay here in the main house."

Danny and Alice looked at each other then the kids.

"Hey I'm not bothered as long as I have a bed!" Ethan declared.

Evan and Tristan walked from the house. Lexi watched them and then said. "I don't mind." rather dreamily. Her eyes never leaving the boys.

"We don't wanna put anyone out." Alice started.

"You won't be!" Caroline said quickly before Anders could jump in with objections.

"Sure then. We'll stay." Danny said.

And it was decided.
