Allison F. Jones looked through all the travel brochures. She loved to look at all the places she would like to go someday. China, Japan, Europe. Someday, maybe. She still needed to help Maddie with her tuition. Her Canadian sister just had two more years of college to go. After that, maybe she can start working less without worrying about tuition anymore. Maybe move in to a bigger apartment using her savings. Her sister always wanted a bigger room. Maddie always offered to do a part time job, but Allison always said to focus on her studies more. She had to be her sister's hero after all. She needed to take care of her sister. For her parents. She hoped they were proud of both of them, while watching from above. Artie was so lucky. He was going on this awesome trip around the world in a few weeks or something. His parents wanted him to relax before he moved out and went out into the world and get a girlfriend-hopefully. His mom has been matching him up with people ever since he entered high school (She probably gave up and decided he find one on his own). Her best friend did need to relax. He is way too uptight. Speaking of which, she should go bother him. Maddie won't be home for a while so she could kill some time bothering her best friend. Anyway, thinking about her life was making her feel a little down. Heroes don't feel down! She wrote a note on a post-it saying where she was going and posted it on a wall. She grabbed her bomber jacket and ran out of the small apartment.


Arthur Kirkland sometimes wondered why he was best friends with this American git. This was one of those times. He was relaxing on his couch. His older brothers and his parents had a business meeting, so he was alone in his house. It was the perfect time to just read a book on the couch and drink tea. Halfway through his novel, said git burst the door open. Damn. He just replaced that door.

"ARTIE! I'M BORED! MADDIE IS STILL IN SCHOOL AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!" Arthur's big eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU STUPID GIT! YOU DON'T GO AROUND BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE!" Arthur was getting irritated.

"But, Maddie isn't home yet and I got bored." Ally walked past him and sat on the couch. Arthur, having gave up in getting her out of here, sat next to her. She turned on the TV. She was currently watching some American action movie. Stupid American movies. He can never get away from this girl. She looked at the table and eyed the travel brochures-for that trip his parents are forcing him to go on. He was told to just decide on what to do, not lodging. It was decided he would be staying with some family friends. He didn't want to go, but his parents insisted. His mom can be very pushy. Being the person he is, he was already done with that.

Ally took one brochure and looked at it. "You're going to France, Artie?"

Arthur look at the brochure. Ew. It's that one to France. His parents forced him to visit there to see his cousin, Francis. That damn frog. "Yes. My parents want me to see my cousin there. I'll be staying with him while I'm there."

"That's nice. I always wanted to go to Europe. But I can't. Maddie still needs tuition. I am not letting her get a job while she is in school." Ally stared at the TV. Despite her somewhat arrogant behavior, she is also caring for her friends. That or she has this hero complex. Maybe both. Hmmm. She looked tired.

Arthur stared at her face. She looked exhausted. Ally rarely looked tired. The last time she looked tired was when her mother died. Poor girl. He really doesn't like it when Ally looked sad or tired. She should relax. Since it seems all she does working for her and her sister, or hanging out with Gilbert and making nuisances of themselves, or bothering him. Although her exterior doesn't show it, but she went through a lot-with her dad dying in the air force and her mom dying of cancer. She works so hard and yet- she is still the hyper girl who is his best friend. He would give his trip to her anytime. Maybe he can ask his parents. She deserved it and he wouldn't have to go on the trip. His musings didn't last long as he felt something on his shoulder. Ally had fallen asleep.

He stared at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful. Should he wake her up? She came because her sister wasn't home yet. What if she's home already? Ah, well. I'll just let her sleep for thirty more minutes. He thought to himself.

He went to the kitchen to make some tea. Forty minutes later after he finished, his parents and older brothers came home. Had he let Ally sleep for that long? He should wake her up.

"Arthur. Ally is sleeping on the couch. And you need to fix the door again." His mother sure knew how to point out the obvious.

"Huh? Oh, Ally looked tired so I let her sleep on the couch. She came in a while ago." Arthur looked at Ally. Contemplating on whether to wake her up.

"Poor girl. I heard she has been working extra lately. They rose the tuition for Madeline's college" Mrs. Kirkland looked at Ally. Ally and her sister was like daughters to her. "Ally, wake up." Mrs. Kirkland said softly. Allison didn't wake up. Arthur poked her stomach-a little too hard.

"GYAAAAH!" Ally jumped up in surprise. She now had the Kirklands staring at her. "Oh..umm..sorry. I'll just go now. Maddie might be worried." Damn. Heroes don't sleep in other people's houses. She got off the couch and headed for the door.

"Oh, Ally. Here is some food for you and your sister. It's beef and pasta. Don't worry, Arthur didn't make it." Mrs. Kirkland handed some food to Ally, ignoring the embarrassed look Arthur gave her.

"Thank you. Well, I should go now." Ally gave Arthur a slap on the back, which made him stumble forward. She was pretty strong.

"Get some rest, Ally. Take a vacation sometime." Mrs. Kirkland said as if she was her daughter.

"I'll try. After Maddie graduates." Ally saluted and ran out the door.

"She's a nice girl. She should use some rest." Mrs. Kirkland stared at the broken door.

"She should. Maybe we could help her." Mr. Kirkland said as he inspected the door. It's a wonder how a girl so small can break a door.

That is exactly what I thought. Maybe mom will let Ally go on the trip. Arthur thought. "Mother. Maybe we can let Ally go on the trip. You know. As a vacation. The git deserves it." Arthur suggested to his mother.

His mother looked thoughtful. She then smirked. Oh no. She only had that smirk when she was matchmaking. Arthur knew what she was going to say. "Yeah. You're right. She should go with you."

"WHAT? NO. I meant she should go instead of me." Arthur wanted Ally to have a vacation, but he also didn't want to be the subject of his mom's matchmaking.

"Hnn? What if she gets in trouble?" Che, Ally can defend herself.

"I think she can handle herself."

"You should go." His dad interjected. Damn. He can't say no now. His dad rarely talked and when he did, everyone listened.

"Fine. But she might say no." Not likely.


"MADDIE! YOUR HERO IS HOME!" Ally opened the door.

"Hello Ally." Maddie pushed her slipping glasses up her nose. And looked up, hair curl bobbing as she did so.

"How was your test?"

"I aced it."

"That's awesome! This calls for food!" Ally pulled out the bag Arthur's mom gave her. Thank God Maddie thought, I was getting sick of burgers.

Allison microwaved the food and made a plate for herself and her sister.

"Hey Ally?"

"Yea?" Ally looked up from her food. Damn, Mrs. Kirkland can cook. Unlike Arthur.

"You look tired." Damn. Ally thought Maddie wouldn't notice.

"Well, I've been working over time, since your school rose tui-'' Ally was interrupted by the phone. She ran to pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Oh..Hi. It's Arthur." Why would he be calling? He doesn't usually call.

"Hey, what's up? I was just eating dinner with Maddie and-" Interupted again.

"Umm..My mom was asking if you would like to go on the trip with me." Arthur said in one breath.

Ally was about ready to be jumping around the house. Really? She was finally going to get a vacation? Wait. "What about Maddie? She still has college."

"It's fine. My parents said they can help. Tuition and everything. They said you need a vacation."

"Oh. I'll ask my bosses then. But Maddie shouldn't be home alone."

"Apparently my parents knew you would say that. It's fine if she stays with us. She is like a daughter to my mom."

"Y' sure? 'Cuz-"

"Please use correct English. Git. And yeah. It's fine."

"O-okay then. See ya, Artie." Ally hang up.

"YES! YES! I HAVE A VACATION!" Allison was literally jumping up and down and bouncing off the walls in pure joy.

"Huh?" Maddie has no idea what was going on.

"Artie called and said his parents want me to tag along on his awesome trip around the world! He also said his family'll help with your tuition and stuff while I'm gone! I GOT A VACATION!"

Maddie smiled. It has been a long time since her older sister was this happy. "That's great. Are your bosses okay with that?"

"Ahahaa! Hold on. I'll call them." Ally dialed her one of her boss's number (she has multiple jobs). "Hello? This is Allison. Is it okay if I get a vacation? My friend's parents are asking if I can." A few "uh huh"s and a thank you later, Ally smiled. She called a few more bosses and all ended with her sqealing and jumping around.

"I'm guessing you got a vacation?" Maddie was happy for her sister. She did need rest.

"Yup!" Ally was jumping up and down. Maddie hugged her sister.

"Well, we should eat our dinner, sis."

"Yea."

This is going to be fun.


Yay! First chapter done! For those who don't understand Ally's prediciment, Ally did not go to college, instead, working to support her and her sister after their parents died. Happy New year's! XD
