Hey guys, the 3rd chapter is up! I do not own either Twilight or Wife Swap. =(
This is for next week - I'm on a week's break.

CHAPTER 3

Jane POV

"Mother, the mail's here!" Faith cried as she walked into the house. "Bring it here Faith. Thank you." She nodded and went off to do her homework. I skimmed through the mail quickly and found a brown envelope. I opened it and read the paper:

Dear Mr Hill,

We are pleased to inform you that your entry for Wife Swap has been picked. The producers of the show will be around your house on Wednesday the 16th of May to take a few shots of your family. On the following day, a limousine will be coming to pick up Jane Hill. Mrs Hill will be swapping with the Cullen family from Bellingham, WA. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

From,

The Wife Swap team

Bellingham. I wonder what that's like. I for one have never heard of this place. Must be a rundown family. Kids on drugs and parents that don't care in the least.

I smiled to myself as I thought about this. This was exactly what I had join Wife Swap for. To show America my perfect family and to help those needy ones. Because we are perfect. I picked up the phone and called Thomas to tell him the good news.

"Hello Jane. Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing wrong. We got accepted by Wife Swap!"

"Great, great. Look Jane, I have a meeting to get to. Can we talk about this when I get home?"

"Sure. Bye."

"Bye."

That was not the reaction I was hoping for but Thomas said he would discuss this when he came home so I was satisfied. I decided I would go and see how the kids were doing with their chores.

I went into the living room where Faith and David were cleaning the living room. They were nearly done. I waited till they were finished and told them of the good news.

"Children, we have been accepted into the show, Wife Swap. Since you have never watched that show before, I'll show you an episode."

I sat them down at the computer and showed them an episode I found on the web. After the episode ended, I asked them what they thought about it. "Sounds great." they both said.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

"How was your day Faith?" Thomas asked during dinner. "Good father." She replied. Such a polite child. Then, Thomas turned to our eldest child, David. "And how was your day David?"

"It was a good day. I got all my questions correct in our Math pop quiz."

Soon, talk turned to the Wife Swap show. "Well kids, what do you think of it?"

"I think that it's a wonderful opportunity for mother to help another family in need." Faith answered while David nodded to show that he agreed with his sister. After that, everyone finished up and the kids started to wash the dishes.

After they were done, Thomas and I gathered them in the living room and sat them on the couch. "We are going to show you the video that you're father made." The kids nodded at that. David placed the DVD into the DVD player and the video started.

3rd Person POV

The Hill's house came into view and Thomas proceeded to explain and point out the rooms in the house. Then the camera centered on Jane. "This is my wife Jane. She volunteers at the local soup kitchen and homeless shelter. She has signed us up onto Wife Swap to show America that we are the perfect family and to help a needy family." Jane smiled at her husband and he nodded back.

"This is my son; David. He aspires to one day be president of the country. He is a very popular boy especially with his friends from church. He is involved in many clubs and is part of his school's football team. David is also very good academically"

Then the camera centered on Faith. "This is my daughter Faith. She, like David is also a good student. She is also involved in many clubs and is the school's star debater. She one day would like to be a politician."

The camera shook as someone placed it down on a surface. Thomas's face appeared on the screen. "I am Thomas. I work as an architect and bring in money for the family. Please pick us as we feel that we could help the show and the other family."

Once the video had finished, Jane, Faith and David smiled at their father. "Good work Thomas. It's no surprised that they picked us." Jane said.

"Nice job father. It was very nice."

"I liked it."

Thomas nodded. "Well, that's that. You kids should go along and do your other chores." The kids nodded and left.

Faith POV

Why did they sign us up for this show? If my life wasn't bad enough, they had to do this. I wish they would listen to us for a change. I do wish that the new family will show mum and dad how to have a good time.

David POV

I hate this. And I hate mum for signing us up for this damm thing. Granted, I loved both my parents but sometimes they just didn't listen. Sure she signed on but did she ask us? No. Just went ahead and did it. Stupid. Stupid. As if my life wasn't sucky enough. Too bad dad's too much of a coward and a doormat to tell mum what's she's doing wrong. Such a pushover. I hope that the family that we're switching with gets whatever's stuck in mum's butt out.

Bear with me. The swap starts at the fifth chapter. Enjoy!
