EPISODE 1

Miss Tipton

"Paris", Moseby said holding his arms wide open. I hugged him around his waist, because I was even smaller than Little Marion himself.

"It's good to see you again Moseby. I missed you."

Moseby pulled back, still holding my shoulders and looked at me. "My, oh, my child. You've grown into a beautiful woman." He smiled like a proud dad. I didn't have the connection my half-sister had with him, but I did love this man.

"Thanks Moseby", I smiled. "Now where do I find London?"

"Of course, your sister. She's probably on the upper deck. Follow me", he said beckoning me to follow him. Unfortunately for me, the cruise ship was massive and the upper deck seemed to be on the three decks above the reception hall where I had previously been. Mr. Moseby helped me carrying my heavy suitcases but the little strength in his small arms wasn't nearly enough. Puffing from carrying my heavy suitcase, Mr. Moseby showed me the upper deck.

"Uh Moseby, those have wheels", I said pointing at the wheels at bottom of my suitcases. I had rolled them all the way, apparently without Mr. Moseby noticing.

"And you didn't tell me before?", Moseby yelled stressed out.

"Now you sound like the Moseby I know. Welcome back old man", I joked. Luckily, he laughed, or I probably would've been grounded for the next week.

"Ooh there she is", I said pointing at my sister near the juice bar. I left my suitcases behind and sprinted towards London.

"Sissy!", London yelled in her 'yay-me' voice and gave me three air-kisses.

"Oh come on London", I said and pulled her in a hug.

"Who's this?", a blondish girl asked London. She smiled at me, clearly confused.

"This is my…SISTER", London yelled after short pause.

"I didn't know you had a sister", a blonde boy said stepping forward. He leaned towards me and my face carefully. His eyes darted from my brown eyes, to my red hair, across my pale complexion and back to my eyes.

"Hel-lo", he said rather slowly. "My-name-is Zack. What's-yours?" Satisfied he leaned back and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Completely startled, I looked at London whose smile was beaming. She'd probably just checked out her reflection in one of the spoons again. She always did when we were at a restaurant. I pleaded her to give me and explanation, but she was probably busy complementing herself in her mind. I looked back at the boy for a brief moment before whispering in London's ear to play along. This boy thought I was as unintelligent as my sister? Well, what he wishes he gets.

I put on a painfully fake smile. "I'm Paris! My daddy's rich and so am I." I was awfully good at mimicking my sister, which is not a good sign. "Yay me!" I clapped my hands hysterically and was immediately repeated by London doing the same. It was her custom after all.

A third boy, the apparent twin of Zack also stepped closer and smiled. "She's exactly like London.

"Oh boy", the still unknown girl said. I looked at the three of them and insisted they'd tell me their names. Bailey and Cody, a couple and madly in love was what I discovered.

"Now Perrie, how many diamonds did daddy send you last week?", London asked me when we left the group behind and headed towards Mr. Moseby. I laughed and dropped my act.

"Thanks London, for playing along."

"You're welcome! But seriously, how many diamonds did daddy send you?" I laughed out loud.

"What so funny?", Moseby asked.

"You don't wanna know", I said.

"I was just asking Perrie how many diamonds sent her? Aren't you curious?"

"No." Moseby glanced at me and sighed deeply. I giggled and patted London's shoulder.

"Come London, I'll show you what he sent me."

"Yay!" She clapped her hands again and was about to turn on her heels when she remembered one more thing to tell Moseby.

"Oh and Moseby."

"Yes London", he asked bittersweet.

"Stop being jealous", she said, referring to the diamonds.
