Chapter 1
*Jessie's POV*
When my boss told me I had a week to take off work, I knew exactly what I was going to do. As soon as I could, I booked a flight across the country. I was going to New York to surprise visit the Ross family.
On my last day on set before I left, I could barely focus on filming.
"Prescott! You were supposed to memorize your lines over the last week!" the director shouted. "One more screw up like that, and you're fired!"
"Sorry, sir," I managed, before going back to my scene.
"CUT!" he shouted. "That was better! Why didn't you do that the first time?"
"I guess I was just distracted," I told him.
"Well, don't be," he said. "You're not being paid to daydream!"
"I promise, it won't happen again," I told him, before going to the next set where the next scene was to be shot. I think I did pretty good on that one. We only had to do three takes and that was only precautionary.
"THAT'S A WRAP!" the director shouted. I hurriedly left the studio, getting into my car, where I'd left my luggage this morning, and drove to the airport. My flight left at 7:30, so I had time to eat before I left.
Getting to the airport, I dragged my suitcase inside and waited.
*Emma's POV*
I sat at the fire with Lou and Xander. Zuri and Ravi had gone with Jorge and a few councillors to go swimming. They'd be back soon. Hazel sat on the opposite side of the pit glaring, at me. Even though I didn't think I was getting together with Xander any time soon, Hazel still blamed me for her not being able to get a date with him.
"Hand over the marshmallows, would'ya, Emma?" Lou asked. I passed my best friend the bag and watched as she took one out and put it on her roasting stick. I heard a noise coming from the woods. A few campers looked scared, like it might be the Kikiwaka. But, like I'd known, it was just Zuri, Ravi and Jorge, getting back from their swim. Jorge looked ridiculous, wearing water wings that were way too small for him. I couldn't help but smile. I looked over at Xander, who was grinning as well.
"Well, that was a pleasant swim," Ravi said. He looked pleased with himself, as he had the past ten times he'd gone swimming, proud that he could actually swim. The boys went into the Grizzly cabin and Zuri came over and sat between Lou and I.
"Why didn't you guys come with us?" she asked.
"Because, it's too cold out," I said.
"And it's dark," Lou added.
"You guys are a bunch of babies," Zuri scowled, before heading back to the Woodchuck cabin to dry off.
*Luke's POV*
Going to summer school sucks. Especially when all your siblings are away at some awesome summer camp, where you don't even have to shower! The worst part is, I'm stuck here, by myself, with Bertram. Not only do I have to constantly study, but I'm pretty sure I'm Bertram's least favourite.
I went out onto the terrace to look out on the city and get some fresh air. I looked down and saw a few cabs driving by. I think one of them was about to go around to the front of the building, but I couldn't be sure. I went back inside and sat on the couch to study more. I kept getting distracted by other things though. I was making two paper airplanes have a race when I heard Tony buzz up to the penthouse.
"Hey Tony," I said.
"Hey, Luke," he replied. "Can I sent up someone who's here to visit you?"
"Sure," I told him, wondering who it could be and why he sounded so excited. I had no idea who could be visiting anyway. I sat back on the couch and waited for whoever it was to come up in the elevator. After a few seconds I heard the 'ding' of the elevator and sat up, turning to see who it was.
"Jessie?!" I asked. My ex-nanny stood in the elevator. I ran over and hugged her.
"Hey, Luke," she said. "It's good to see you!"
"It's good to see you, too," I sighed, before Jessie pulled away from our hug.
"So where are Emma, Ravi and Zuri?" she asked.
"They're at summer camp," I told her. "In Maine."
