1: Trip of a lifetime
"This is an outrage! How dare they replace cast members! Taylor Lautner was perfect as Jacob; why did they have to go and replace him with some Hawaiian kid we've never even heard of?! This is completely wrong! Why change things when they were fine they way they were…Just as well Rob hasn't been replaced or there would uproar!" Faith ranted, watching an MTV "New Moon" exclusive.
It showed the cast of the new movie looking fabulous standing on a sunny Californian beach getting there photos taken for some glossy magazine; Rob all shirtless and looking trés buff! Next the programme cut to a forest somewhere in Vancouver. The cast ( except for the "humans" and Taylor) were all suited and booted; rock climbing helmets, waterproof jackets & trousers and hiking boots that had funny looking peg things attached to the bottom of them; and they were also attached on wires. It seemed they were practicing wire scenes. Then Rob ran at a large tree that had pegs stuck in it and scaled up it like it was a child's climbing frame. "Wow!" Faith gasped watching him scale it with ease.
Just then, her friend Lucy walked in. "Hey, what you up to? I thought I could hear you ranting…Ooh! "New Moon"!" she said getting comfortable beside her friend on the sofa. "Yes, I was ranting. They've replaced Taylor Lautner!"
Lucy smiled at this moment of exasperation, "They haven't replaced him; he just couldn't make it to the photo shoot." Faith gave her confused look. "I have some news that'll make you smile" Lucy said grinning like the Cheshire cat out of Alice in Wonderland. "What?" Faith said becoming intrigued.
"Dad's taking us to Vancouver to meet the cast!" she squealed excitedly.
Faith let what Lucy had said sink in before getting up and jumping up and down on the sofa, and screaming at the top of her lungs "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I'm going to meet Rob Pattinson!!! Yeehoo!!!!!" Lucy laughed at Faith's "happy dance". "Calm down. We don't you breaking a leg now. Otherwise you won't be able to see Rob." Faith stopped her jumping. "So what do I need to pack?" Faith asked, switching off the TV and giving Lucy her full attention. "Well dad says that we'll need hiking boots; have you still got the ones your mum got you for camp?" Faith nodded, indicating that they were in the hallway. "What else?"
"We'll need to take sensible clothes like warm trousers, t-shirts and a couple of thick jumpers as well as your passport. Oh! And a few pairs of thick socks for wearing inside our boots."
"Right, come and help me pack…When do we leave?" Faith asked as they ascended the stairs to her room.
"Well, actually, that brings me to my next point; you'll need to stay at mine tonight as we'll need to leave at one in the morning to be at the airport for two to fly at four as the flight will be about eleven hours." Faith's eyes widened at Lucy's statement. 'Eleven hours on a plane! I'll die of boredom!' Faith thought as she pulled out her suitcase.
Once they had packed and then re-packed her case (Faith had decided that she needed to take her hair straighteners and make up bag with her if she wanted to look her best in front of Rob), Lucy called her dad to come and pick them up. "Wait! I need to tell my mum where we're going, she'll get worried if I'm not here when she gets home" Faith stated worriedly. "It's ok, my dad called your mum at her work earlier to tell her that you're staying at mine tonight and that we're going to Vancouver for the non-teaching that we've got off" Lucy explained. Faith nodded, relieved to know that everything was ok. "Thank god for that. I was worried that my mum would think that I had run off with some guy. Luckily I'm not like my cousin Jade that way…" she sniggered.
Twenty minutes later, Lucy's dad (Dan) pulled up outside Faith's house. So she trundled her case down the stairs, grabbed her black wool ¾ length coat, made sure everything was off in the house-whilst Lucy took her bags out to the car- then locked the front door and got into Dan's car. "God, I'm bloody starvin'!" Faith commented, rubbing her growling stomach. "Aye, me as well" Lucy concurred, laughing.
When they got to Lucy's house it was about 5.30 pm. So they took up to the guest room where Faith was going to be sleeping and then ordered some food. Dan was packing his bags when the pizza arrived.
"Dad; that's the Domino's arrived!!!" Lucy shouted as they took theirs into the living room to watch a DVD.
"I'm on my way hen!" he shouted back. They sat down on the sofa and looked through Lucy's DVD collection; finally settling on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So Faith set her alarm on her mobile phone for midnight and tucked into her pizza. 20 minutes into the movie and Faith was a very happy bunny, 'My god, is Rob hot as Cedric! It's just a pity that J.K. had to go and kill him off…mind you, if she hadn't then Rob wouldn't have been able to play Edward which have been a disaster' Faith thought as she watched Rob play the dashing character of Cedric Diggory.
After watching most of the movie, they decided to go to bed. Faith quickly brushed her teeth, changed into her pyjamas, said goodnight to Lucy then went to go and sleep in the guest room. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and climbed into bed; immediately falling asleep and dreaming of Rob.
