Traveling Chapter 1
Everything was the same in the Pickles' house. Tommy, Chucky, Phil & Lil were outside in the backyard playing fetch with spike. Didi was cooking pasta and making chicken salad, but the chicken wasn't coming out so good. The reason why she was cooking pasta and making chicken salad was because she had good news to tell everybody. Afterwards, everyone came to the table (angelica and her parents came right before dinner was ready) and began to eat. "Daddy why does the chicken taste bad" asked Angelica. She poked at the chicken a couple of times. "It's bad because it's burned, now eat your pasta." Firmly said drew. Didi after hearing question, and response, she finally decided to say "I'm sorry Angelica that the chicken turned out bad. How about we change that bad chicken for a trip to Hawaii?" Angelica quickly responded "Now that's more like it!" "What a wonderful idea! We'll all go" Said Drew. Stew, who has been strangely quit that night said " Now Didi, how are you going to pay for the tickets? Not to mention food, hotel, transportation; you know we need a car to go places"- Before Stew went one Didi interrupted "Stew I have everything under control. I won this trip from a sweepstake. The radio DJ said that they'll pay for everything; food, hotel, tickets, transportation only on one condition, though." "What that?" said Betty. "That we all have fun and relax!" Stew got up from his chair and said "Well what are we what here for? Let's start packing! "Stew." Said Didi. "Yeah" "Sit down, we're still eating" "OK" With that they began to eat again.
The trip was on Saturday, it's Friday. Didi and Stew packed Tommy's clothes, bibs, shoes, (not that he wore any) toys, and the Dr's books. Tommy's things, alone, filled up one medium size luggage and one small size luggage. On the other hand Didi and Stew's things only filled up one large size luggage. As soon as they were done packing they began to talk about the trip. Didi began with a formal question "What should we do with Tommy?" "What do you mean 'what should we do with Tommy'?" Replied Stew. "You know, should we put him in a daycare or take him with us." Said Didi. "We should take him with us of course, I'm sure he'll love to see all the dancing and singing." Didi just nodded and she picked up a book and began to read. What has gotten into Didi, she usually wants to be with Tommy. I guess the vacation has gone to her head Thought Stew. The two just went to sleep thinking about the trip that was soon to come.
