As the six made their way to the car, trouble erupted again.
"Okay guys, let's try and agree on something for dinner," Jude suggested.
"Okay!" Ashley piped, "Let's go to that ah-mazing salad bar that Mommy and Daddy took us to lat time we visited!"
"But, that's not fair!" Tiffany protested, "You ALWAYS get what you want!"
"Do not!" Ashley shouted back.
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
Tyler and Zeke rolled their eyes at their sisters.
"Um… what about burgers," Tyler suggested. "I mean, you can't go wrong on burgers,"
"No!" Ashley and Tiffany protested at the same time.
"But---" Tyler was about to protest, when Jude butted in.
"Guys!" Jude shouted above the four siblings.
"We're girls!" Ashley pointed out, with a 'Duh' tone in her voice.
"Okay, then. Guys… and girls… how about we go to a buffet," Jude suggested.
"Buffet? What's that?" Tyler question.
"It's a---" Zeke started to explain.
"Did I ask you?" Tyler asked Zeke, getting up in his face.
"No," Zeke said, backing off from his brother, and looking down at his shoes.
"That's what I thought," Tyler grumbled.
Finally, after watching his wife and nieces and nephew bicker for long enough, Tom Quincy eventually decided to take charge.
"Okay people!" Tommy boomed.
That immediately got everyone's attention.
"We'll go to 'Happy Buffet', where everybody can get what they want," Tommy said, in a 'higher-power' fashion.
"Um… will that have any fat free dressings?" Ashley asked, "I mean…" she was about to continue, when everybody just looked at her with glaring eyes. "Okay, never mind, I'm fine…"
"Good!" Jude agreed, "I can finally have some mangoes with spaghetti!"
"Mango spaghetti, girl?" Tommy asked.
Jude just shrugged Tommy's comment off, and then the six finally headed to the restaurant.
They finally arrived, and the six were seated, and each was given their plates.
Ashley gracefully made her way to the spectacular salad bar, with Jude, who got her mangoes, and then went over and joined Zeke.
Zeke made his way to the spaghetti, where his Aunt joined him, and they both got their plates of food.
Tyler made his way over to the meat section, which was conveniently located past the Chinese Food section, and then the Thai Food section.
Tiffany, made her way over towards the Chinese section, but accidentally confused it with the Thai.
She filled her plate up with Thai food, and of course covered it with random Thai sauces (Tiffany referred to it as "experiencing the culture"), including peanut sauce.
Eventually, the six met up back at their table.
Tiffany made sure and sit between her favorite Aunt and Uncle, while her other 3 brothers and sisters sat across from them.
"So…" Ashley began "Is it true that Alex Bolton and Sarah Augusto are dating?"
A smiled appeared on Jude's lips; Ashley really was Sadie's daughter!
Tommy almost chocked on his food; his eight year-old niece was asking about boys.
"No," Jude responded, "They're just goof fr-----"
Jude was cut- off by a choking Tiffany, gasping for air.
"Tiffy, honey, are you okay?" Jude asked Tiffany calmly.
Tiffany still didn't respond.
"Ashley, Zeke, Tyler, does Tiffany have any allergic reactions?" Tommy asked.
None of the three, normally- breathing children responded.
"Well," Zeke said shyly, "Ashley did have an allergic reaction to peanuts when we were younger, and so Mom never bought anything even containing even traces of peanuts,"
"And did she have any peanuts?" Tommy asked.
"Um… I think I saw her over by the Thai food," Tyler mentioned.
"Which many of the dishes do contain peanuts," Zeke pointed out.
"Okay! Tommy get the kids in the car, instructed Jude, "I'll get Tiffany,"
Jude whisked up Tiffany, ignoring the pain in her back, dashing after Tommy and the three healthy children.
The six dashed off to the Emergency Room, where Tiffany was immediately whisked away by a group of doctors.
Tommy, Jude, Ashley, Zeke, and Tyler, had no choice but to wait in the waiting room, along with the other families of hurt and dying people.
Ashley was sitting sullenly in a corner near a leggos bin, and was especially quiet.
Jude noticed this, and went over to her niece.
"Ash," Jude said, sitting down next to her niece, and wrapping her arms around the small children's shoulders.
Ashley didn't respond.
"Ashie, baby, things will be okay," Jude assured Ashley.
"No. No, no she won't!"
"Yes! Yes, she will!"
"No! You don't get it! She's my IDENTICAL sister! What happens to her is supposed to happen to me too!" Ashley cried.
"But, some things can change that," Jude said, trying to calm down the eight year-old girl, without frightening her even more.
Ashley shoved her Aunt's arms off of her, and stood up.
"No!" she screamed, causing the other people in the waiting room to look up from their sulking. "No!" she screamed again, kicking the leggos bin over, and let the leggos scatter on the floor.
"Stupid Peanuts!" she screamed, kicking the leggos bin again.
Just as she was about to kick the bin for a third time, her two brothers came over to her, and each grabbed one of her arms.
They restrained her for a few more seconds, when she finally plopped down in the middle of the floor, and began sobbing. They sat down next to her (more gentally than Ashley), and each wrapped an arm around her. They whispered to Ashley, seemingly successfully, calming her down.
After maybe 20 minutes, a doctor came in, and stood in the doorway of the waiting room.
"Jude and Thomas Quincy!" they called.
Jude and Tommy stood up, and went over to the medical expert.
"Yes, is there anything you can tell us about Tiffany?" Jude asked.
"Nope, everything checks. She has an allergic reaction to peanuts, as her pediatrician believed, but never confirmed," The doctor said.
"And so we've treated her, and got her inhailer re-filled," the doctor finished.
"And…" Jude asked anxiously, trying to figure out if her niece was really okay.
The doctor paused, "Good thing you got her here when you did, your niece could have died,"
