I really hope you like it!
Please review! Please Please Please!
Even if you don't like it, just tell me.
Flame on :D
Teddy Duncan was in the middle of her Jules Vernes Book when the plane announced that they were starting to land. She put the book down and put her seat belt on. She was in between Charlie and Gabe, two of her four siblings. She checked her sleeping younger sister's seat belt before returning to her book. Next to her, Gabe was mesmerized by his video games, strongly swinging the game station in every direction to finish all of the levels and sometimes hitting it when he made a mistake. The seats in front of them had PJ, the oldest, tearing up to a Winnie The Pooh Movie that he'd chosen to watch. Cries echoed from the seat next to him, the little Toby was starving, but refusing to eat any airplane food. His mom, Amy, sitting next to him was stressing out, trying to please the baby. Finally, next to all of that ruckus, the dad, Bob Duncan, slept peacefully, snoring every now and then.
"Please put on your seat belts. We hope you enjoyed the ride and we are happy that you chose AirFrance." A computer voice said.
"Gabe stop you video game." Teddy reminded. No electronics allowed during landing.
"This is the last level! I jus-"
"Gabe. Turn it off." Teddy ordered.
"Fine mother" Gabe muttered angrily
There was a loud thump as the plane touched the ground and Charlie woke up to the sound...
When the plane came to a full stop, the family struggled to get the luggage.
"Nonono Charlie! We don't touch other people's food!" Amy's worried voice echoed throughout the plane. Her white pants were stained with Toby's throw up and her hair was a mess. Seeing her tired mother, Charlie just ran to the other side of the plane.
"No! Charlie! Stop! You don't want to-" She caught a sight of her sleeping husband.
"Bob! Get our daughter!"
Bob violently stood up looking confused.
"What?"
"Just go after Charlie..." Amy said in an exasperated tone.
Teddy watched her dad run after Charlie and her mom, taking all of the bags out of the cubies. She rushed up to her mom.
"Need any help?" Teddy asked her mom.
Amy faintly smiled.
"Thanks Teddy." she said weakly.
Teddy took two heavy backpacks and put them on her back.
"No problem," she answered to her mother while heading to the exit of the plane with her brother, still deep into his video game, followed her.
"Gabe!" Amy called out to the middle child. "Toby duty!"
Gabe groaned and Teddy silently laughed.
"Shut up." Gabe warned
Teddy turned back went out of the airplane.
When all of the family was out, they loudly headed to get their baggage.
Teddy had a brochure in her hand with the Eiffel Tower.
"Hey Mom, can we go to the Eiffel tower?" she asked pointing to the brochure.
"Let's not talk about it now Teddy," her mom answered, tired.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Charlie said, pulling on her father's leg.
"Ask your mother." Bob said, not quite listening to his daughter.
"Mommy?" Charlie started.
"Not now!" Amy snapped back.
Charlie put her head down as a sign of shame.
"Dad! Can you please hold Toby, he's crying and I can't finish my video game."
"Gabe stop complaining." his father said.
"Why can't PJ do it?" Gabe asked again.
They both looked over to the oldest child.
"Dad! The dollars look like quarters!" PJ said, examining the French money!
"PJ can't do it because..." Bob paused trying to think.
"He's PJ."
Gabe groaned at the pointless answer as another cry echoed from his arms.
After an hour and a problem with taking a ride on the baggage claim, the family finally got their luggage. They went outside and were greeted by a blue sky and and fresh breeze. They called for a taxi and all headed to their Hotel.
They finally got there after a one hour ride after traffic.
"Guys, please stay here while we check ourselves in." Bob told his kids.
Teddy sat down on a couch with her two brothers sitting next to her.
She looked over to the woman who was sitting next to her. She was kind of odd. She had blond, almost white hair. She looked old but had no wrinkles on her face. Her eyes were bright pink and she had thousands of freckles circling her face. She was dressed in old Indian robes and a metallic silver scarf was placed around her nec.
"You know, it's rude to stare." the old woman informed her, smiling.
"Oh! I-I-I 'm so sorry!" Teddy stuttered, embarrassed.
"Yes, please pardon our sister, she liked to stare at weird looking people." Gabe informed the woman.
"Gabe!" Teddy whispered angrily, hitting him.
"Oh it's okay Teddy, I'm not offended.
Teddy froze. "How do you know my name?"
The woman smiled, "Oh! I'm a seer slash fortune teller, whatever you want to call me."
"A witch?" Gabe offered.
Teddy hit her brother again.
"I've met someone like you before!" Teddy exclaimed.
"That's interesting! We are pretty rare people you know." the old woman smiled.
"That's probably true. You kno-" Teddy started but soon stopped seeing the woman's face freeze.
"Hum... Are you okay?" PJ asked.
"It is strange, I got a very clear reading about you three." the woman started.
"Us?" PJ asked.
"No, the other three people this woman has been too!" Gabe answered sarcastically.
"Oh."
Gabe groaned at his brother's first degree mind.
"Wait, what is the reading?" Teddy asked urgently.
"Here it is:" the woman started, her face still looking frozen and pale with only her lips moving.
"You will all fall in love during this trip."
All of the kids looked at each other, confused.
"You," she pointed at Teddy, "With something you know."
"You," she looked at PJ, "With someone you don't know."
"And you," she pointed at Gabe, "With someone you know."
"And all of this will bring you to your biggest misfortune of your stay."
Suddenly, the woman's face unfroze and turned into the nice rosy face Teddy had seen before.
"Guys! We're going to our room!" Bob called out.
All of the kids looked at each other, than back at the strange woman.
"Have fun in room 225!" she said, waving.
They got up, and followed their parents to their room.
"do you think she's telling the truth?" PJ asked his sister.
"You never know, I've met one of them, and half of the things she said were true." Teddy answered while following her parents down the hall.
"Okay kids, here is our room." Bob pointed to a door. "And this is yours." he said, pointing to the room right next to theirs with the number 225.
"Weird..." Teddy thought.
"Wait, Charlie, Gabe, Teddy, Toby, and I are all sleeping in the same room?" asked a confused PJ.
"No, not Toby, he will stay with us, but the rest of you are all sleeping together." Bob said, taking Toby out of Gabe's arms.
"Wait, but that's unfair Dad! I don't want to sleep with my brothers!" Teddy whined.
"Oh, it's going to be okay Teddy, you will sleep with Charlie." Amy answered.
Teddy looked at her mother with desbelief. "But Mom! You know how Charlie-"
"End of discussion." Amy said firmly, cutting her daughter off.
Teddy groaned.
Bob took two magnetic cards out and looked at his kids.
"Teddy, Gabe, I want you to have these. Keep them safe and don't lose them, this is the only way you can get into room."
PJ looked at his dad confused. "Why don't I get one?"
"hum... Well... Because you..." Bob stuttered looking for words.
Teddy and Gabe started to snicker.
"Anyways," Amy said, "We are all going to our rooms now, I'm exhausted and I need some sleep and so do you. We are going to have a really busy day tomorrow!" She opened her door and Bob, holding Toby, followed her into the room.
Left alone with 3 of her siblings, Teddy awkwardly looked around.
"Well I guess we're going in," she said, rolling her baggage into the room.
She looked around. The room was quite small and really tight but she couldn't say that she was surprised. Her family really wasn't the kind of family that was willing to spend thousands of dollars on a hotel. Already, a two week stay in Paris without a gift card or way to make anything cheaper was a big accomplishment. She put her luggage next to one of the beds and started to unpack it ant to put all of the clothes in a drawer.
The boys, on the other hand, just left their baggage next to their bed and started to surf the various TV channels.
Teddy rolled her eyes.
"Come on Charlie! Let's get you unpacked!" she told the 4 year old carrying her own mini suitcase.
She picked her sister and put her on her bed.
She finished unpacking her and her sister's stuff and looked at her brothers. They were both asleep on the bed, with the TV still on. One of Gabe's arms was hanging off the bed and drool was dripping out of PJ's mouth.
She looked at her bed and saw her sister fast asleep too.
She changed into her pajamas and got into her bed with her sister.
She fell asleep with the strange woman's worried stuck in her head, hoping that she would figure out the proper meaning before anything weird happened.
Hehe, hope you enjoyed.
That was a really bad cliffhanger...
anyways, please review,
and I will try to post the next chapter soon!
Bye!
