My ba decided to take a trip. And if you have ever had your ba take a trip, well you know it's gennerally a bad idea.

I was floating next to Sadie's Gran and Gramps house. Well, their mine too, but they hate me, so I say Sadie's.

The house is smoking, smoldering, and is burned to the ground. Gran and Gramps were standing out front, watching the firemen put the remains of a fire out. Gran has obviously been crying. Gramps is trying his best to comsole her, and several firemen, are akwardly trying to do the same.

Gran whispers, "I'm so sorry, I forgot all about my biscuts, and..." She bursts out into more tears.

Well, it was bound to happen someday. I mean Gran's cooking? A disaster.

My ba leaves, and heads back to my body.

I stare at Amos blankly. Gran and Gramps are looking around in the great room, making comments, which I'm sure aren't good comments, while Amos takes me out to the deck, and says that they'll be staying, until they find another place. And then, 'oh, by the way, Sadie and I are leaving for the 1st Nome today and maybe longer, so you're being left in charge of the house with them. Bye!'

"Why?" I asked. "This is so unfair! Why not Sadie? They like her."

"Because, Sadie is needed at the 1st Nome."

I looked at him with an expression worthy of the gods. I'm about to say something to protest, when he cut's me off.

"No buts Carter. Your staying here, and they're staying here, and that's final. Sadie!"

And with that he heads up the stairs.

A/N Sorry for the short Chap. But...well this is just the first chapter...the plot hasn't fully developed. But KEEP READING! R&R!
