"I just think it wouldn't make much sense meeting him without the girl that introduced me to the book in the first place, now would it?"

I just looked at Augustus. Was he seriously considering using his 'Dying wish' to go to Amsterdam and meet Peter Van Houten, the Peter Van Houten - author of an imperial affliction. Why did I ever spend my wish on Disney land, although it did sound like an amazing idea at the time.

"Well what do you think?" He was speaking to me again. "what?" I asked, trying to show that I wasn't daydreaming.

"Hazel Grace, how would you like to accompany me to Amsterdam to meet this Peter Van Houten?"

"Are you serious?"

"I've cleared it with the genies, we leave in a months time!" No Way! As if this is really happening. As I look to augustus again it is then I can tell that he is actually 100% genuine. I lose my cool for just a minute as I engulf him in a tight embrace "Oh my god augustus" I was actually going to be face to face with the author of my favourite book. I am finally going to get the answers I've been waiting ages for.

"I'm sorry Hazel, but you're just too sick,". No, this isn't fair. It's only been three weeks since augustus told me the good news and now these dumb doctors are telling me I can't go. This is so unfair. All I am asking is for one week, one week to go to Amsterdam, meet van Houten and find out what became of an imperial affliction. Surely I'm not asking for a lot.

I can't believe it. WE ARE GOING TO AMSTERDAM TODAY! Oh yeah, the doctors finally gave me the all clear and decided it wouldn't be completely life threatening for me to go to Amsterdam for three days on the condition that my mum accompanied us, which she was going to do all along anyway.

"Have we got everything?" My mum asked me as I wheeled my oxygen cart out of the front door, followed my dad who was looking rather emotional. He does know we are only going for three days, right? We will be back right before it feels like we are even gone.

"Yes, I have the luggage, passports, replacement oxygen..." Mum rambled on. I smiled as if she would ever leave without triple checking we had everything. That was the thing about my mum, over prepared. Always. I turned around as we heard a cheer, which sounded awfully like augustus waters and I was right. There he was, head sticking out the top of a limousine. A limo. Seriously augustus? I think somebody is taking the whole concept of cancer perks a little too far. As he stepped out of the veichle. First of all hugging both of my parents and then me. I gave him a wondering look. He smirked.

"I told the genies either i travel in style or not at all," he chuckled and I rolled my eyes. It was now time to say goodbye to my dad. I did my best not to cry, he was so that made it harder. I wasn't used to be separated from either of my parents, even all the times I went to hospital, one of them at least was by my side at all times. So this was kind of weird. But it was only going to be for three days,

We arrived at the airport, checked ourselfs and our luggage in. Before making our way to the departure lounge. Mum bought us a drink as we waited. Augustus, being augustus and thinking of his stomach as usual went off a wonder to get a burger. So it was just me and mum for a while. She looked as excited as I was feeling. This is actually happening. Soon we would be on a flight to Amsterdam.

25 minutes? What the heck is augustus doing, we will be boarding shortly. Gosh, that boy picks the wrong time to go eat.
