A/N: Hey Sarah27Lautner here just to say sorry I didn't have the chapter up yesterday it was kinda late and my mum was shouting anyway hope you enjoy this chapter might be long or short don't know Microsoft Word tricks you to think it's long but really it's dead short see ya xx

Chapter 1

Sarah's POV

"KIDS!" Dad yelled "FAMILY MEETING NOW!"

I groaned a family meeting usually meant that either something really big was going to happen or there was bad news. I walked down stair with Jake, sure that the expression of wariness was the same on mine. He looked at me and rolled his eyes, I started giggling but dad gave me a funny look…so I shut up.

"We have some news" he said "We decided to go on a family holiday for the vacation"

"But Dude, I wanted to hang out the skate park this summer!" Jake exclaimed

"And I wanted to go to job interviews for Allure this summer!" Lorraine shouted.

Soon the living room was practically shaking with noise from all the outbursts of why we weren't going came out.

"QUIET!" mom shouted (A/N: No I' not American it's just mom sounds better than mum continue) "You don't even know where we are going yet"

I raised my eyebrows at Jake, like that would make us change our minds!

"Where?" Charlie asked, he had been unusually quiet through this.

"Lake Winnetka!" dad exclaimed.

The room was once again filled with "no's!" and "More chance of hell freezing over's"

"Tough we are going, pack" mom said "NOW!"

I went up to my room grabbing random clothes, some good dressy ones, some chill clothes, underwear & stuff like that.

"5 minutes and we gotta go!" dad shouted.

At the same time Jake shouted "Sarah remember your skateboard dude!"

"Like I could forget!" I shouted back at him.

I wasn't looking forward to going but the lake was cool there was water-skiing and allsorts to do maybe Jake and I could even find a good spot to skate.

The best thing was the fact that all that fresh air could inspire new pranks I hadn't been living up to my name recently. I laughed to myself; the Bakers won't know what hit them.

Jake's POV

This place hasn't changed a bit. It's still looks old and broken-down. In fact it has changed it looks worse. I could see Lorraine going into full-panic mode. I was glad Nora wasn't here just now, trying to clam Lorraine down would have sent her into and early labour!

"No way" Lorraine screamed "I'm not going in that place it's a mess!"

"Yeah!" Mike said "Why couldn't we rent that place" he said jerking his thumb toward the other side of the lake.

"OMG!" came 11 awed voices.

It was a mansion. A huge 5 storied mansion!

"Whoever lives there must be mega-rich, huh butch?" I asked Sarah.

"Yeah, totally like "I own 5 companies" rich." She answered

Dad looked a bit put-down for a minute then he said

"Boys north bunk girl's south pick a room twins share!"

We all ran riot trying to get in the house in a family of 12 you have to be fast to get a good room.

As I stared out my window I thought maybe, just maybe, that this holiday might be quite fun.

A/N: Hey! Hoped you liked! The second chapter is in progress and that will be where the Bakers meet Murtagh. Not sure whether to make Elliot and Sarah hit it off straight away or make them kinda hate each other to start off with. Review with your thoughts! Got to go second chapter might be out today maybe not!
