A/N I watched the Parent Trap with my little sis few days ago and that idea has been following me ever since. So I decided to try it out… I hope you will like it! Read and review pleeeeeease! Oh and sorry for any mistakes…English is not my first language…
It was a very warm summer and the Camp Walden was full of teenage girls from all around the world. Amanda, the bright, blond 11-year-old girl with sparkling blue eyes, was standing on the side looking at many girls screaming and running in all directions. Being brought up in England, she was not used to the enthusiastic and loud attitude of American girls. She eyed carefully the luggage that was being dropped in the big pile in the middle of walkway. She watched as her yellow bag was dropped and smiled slightly thinking she can quickly catch her bag, but it wasn't to be, because before she even got closer her bag disappeared underneath other bags. She signed disappointed and tried to pull out her bag with no result.
'Great!' she exclaimed pulling on the string of her bag.
'Do you need some help?' asked a tall girl with curly brown hair.
"That would be lovely, if you don't mind. I've been trying to pull my bag with no luck!' Amanda answered smiling and pointing to her bag.
'Sure!' the girl said and confidently pulled out the bag. 'Here' she gave Amanda her bag. 'My name is Rosie. ' she said extending her hand.
'I'm Amanda. Nice to meet you, Rosie. And thank you for your help!' Amanda smiled at Rosie and gave her a handshake.
'Do you know where you're staying?" Rosie asked walking towards the houses.
'Beaver house. You?' Amanda said following Rosie.
'Oh that's great!' Rosie exclaimed 'We are together then! Come I'll show you the way' she nodded for Amanda to follow.
'That's great!'
They walked off together towards their little house in the woods. In the mean time another bright, blond, blue eyed girl was unpacking her staff in her house.
'Hey there!' called a tall brunette 'You staying here?' she asked walking in the room.
'How does it look like?' blond girls asked sarcastically 'I'm unpacking, so obviously I'm staying here.'
'Oh sorry for asking, milady!' the other girl said angrily and walked off towards the furthest bed from the blond girl. The blond girl shrugged her shoulders and got back to unpacking.
'Look...we are going to live in the same house for 6 weeks so we better at least tolerate one another.' The brunette said after 10 minutes of complete silence. The blond girl turned towards her and looked at her.
'I guess so...' She said emotionless 'My name is Natalie.'
'I'm Sophie' the other girl said smiling slightly that Natalie was talking to her. 'Where are you from?'
'New York.' Natalie said proudly putting out some more staff on her bad.
'You're kidding?' Sophie exclaimed enthusiastically 'That must be great living there!' she clapped her hands and started jumping on her bad.
'I guess.' Natalie said and gave Sophie a disapproving look for her behavior.
'Is that why your dressed so…smart?' Sophie asked looking at Natalie from head to toe. She was dressed in the formal clothes looking rather serious.
'My mum picked this outfit for me. She's a well known Broadway producer.' Natalie said taking out a photo from her bag. 'That's her.' She said showing Sophie the photo.
'Wow! She's beautiful!' Sophie said looking at the photo closely. 'And you look a lot like her. The blond hair and shape of your face…but the eyes are different. I bet you have your eyes after your father!' she said handing the photo back to Natalie.
'Many people say I look like my mum' Natalie said with a slight smile putting the picture on the dresser next to the bed.
'What about your dad?' Sophie asked
'My parents divorced when I was very little and I haven't seen him since. He lives in England.' Natalie said with a sad voice 'So where are you from?' she asked quickly changing the subject.
'Oh. I'm from Alabama. I live there with my parents, two sisters and three dogs. It's loud, but it's fun' Sophie said smiling 'Do you want to see a picture of my family?'
'Ok.' Natalie said following Sophie towards her things.
Sophie ransacked her things doing a huge mess and then pulled out a big photo. She handed it to Natalie, who looked at the happy family of five and three dogs in front of a big house on the picture.
'Nice.' Natalie said suddenly feeling a bit lonely. She gave the photo back to Sophie and went back to her bed.
'Hey, are you ok?' Sophie asked Natalie sensing the sudden sadness in other girl.
'Yeah I'm fine. Just lots of unpacking and we have to head to the canteen soon.' Natalie said quickly and got back to unpacking.
Meanwhile at Beavers house Amanda was getting to know her new friend Rosie.
'So are you from England?' asked Rosie, who has already unpacked her staff and was looking through a magazine.
'How did you know?' asked Amanda putting her staff nightly into the closet.
'Your accent'
'Well, yes. I'm from England, London to be exact. I live with my dad and grandparents. Where are you from?'
'South Dakota. I live with my parents and two annoying brothers.' Rosie said looking up from her magazine
'Oh you've got brothers!' Amanda exclaimed enthusiastically 'I would give anything to have siblings! But my dad has been alone since he divorced my mum…' she got a bit sad after mentioning her mum.
'Oh, I'm sorry that your parents are divorced. Where does your mum live?' she asked standing up from her bad and walking towards Amanda.
'Emm…she lives in New York, I think. I haven't seen her since I was a little baby. After the divorce my dad and I moved to England. I don't remember her at all.' Amanda answered sadly.
'Is that your dad?' Rosie asked picking up a photo of a middle aged blond men with blue eyes.
'Yes.' Amanda smiled
'You've got the same blue eyes. That's cool. You wanna see my family?' Rosie asked putting the photo back on the shelve and turning towards her things.
'Sure!' Amanda said happily and run towards Rosie's bed.
They were talking about their families when suddenly there was a loud bell.
'I guess it's time for dinner.' Amanda said jumping from Rosie's bed 'Lets go, I'm famished!
They walked out together and headed towards canteen. They were both unaware that the same looking blond girl was already sitting in the canteen eating her dinner…
