The kids are 4 here and they are on a world trip with their parents. First off: Phillipines.
Chapter seven: World tour; Philippines (Part 1)
They were in the car, driving to the airport. The kids were asleep and so does Marlene. Skipper was still awake, even though it's 2:00 in the morning.
After an hour of driving, they finally reached the airport. Skipper woke up the rest as he unloaded the car. Marlene woke up and placed the kids in their stroller.
"Kids... Time to wake up..." Marlene said between her yawns. "We're going to see other countries and cities..."
"Marlene, can you call Arianne?" Skipper asked as he placed his backpack on his... Back.
"Why?"
"She's going to take the car while we're gone."
"Fine... Hold the kids stroller." Marlene said as she dialed Arianne's phone number.
"Hello?" A voice greeted.
"Ari, it's me, Marlene. Skipper said you can have the car for a month, since me and the family are going to other countries, each week." Marlene explained.
"Oh, okay. Actually, I'm already in your car, driving it back to my house." Arianne chimed as she hung up on Marlene.
"Great... Now we can go inside the plane." Marlene said as she took the stroller and walked away with Skipper, who was carrying their backpack and luggage.
As they reached their plane, they quickly carried the kids with them to their seats. They sat near the window and Private, Persephone and Hannah on the parents' laps. During the plane ride, Marlene was reading her book and Skipper was asleep. Of course, driving to the airport at two am is very tiring. And the kids were looking out the window. But Rico had some other ideas.
He placed a toy bomb on Kowalski's tube rack as he snickered and pretended he didn't placed it there. When Kowalski turned to grab one of his test tubes, he screamed but nothing came out. Marlene looked up from her book and saw her baby was having a hard time communicating.
"Kowalski... What happened?" Marlene asked. "Your throat hurts, doesn't it?"
Kowalski nodded. "I told you to drink some water before going to bed."
"But m-mom." Kowalski complained dryly as he coughed multiple times.
"God, drink this." Marlene said as she offered Kowalski his water.
As Kowalski drank his water, he remembered something to do before leaving. Once more, he coughed with water in his throat, making Marlene panic a little.
"What's wrong?"
"I forgot to give Violet my letter!"
"You can call her later night."
"Why not later when we go to our hotel?"
"Later, time changes between Asia and America. Meaning, tonight is our arrival."
"..." Kowalski fell silence as he stared at Marlene.
"I'll try to connect with her on your laptop." Marlene said as she placed Kowalski's laptop on her lap and and connected her phone on the laptop.
Violet's number came on screen and Marlene started to call her. While waiting, the other four were playing. Except for Hannah, who fell asleep on her daddy's arms. Persephone was just staring at the wndw when something inside of her made her realized she forgot something.
"Great... Just great..." Persephone muttered. "I forgot to bring my mp3 player..."
"Pers, what's wrong?" Private asked.
"I forgot my mp3 player..." Persephone mumbled, eating up her words.
"What?"
"I forgot my mp3 player."
"You didn't." Private said, smiling as he got his bag and began digging. Finally, he showed Persephone's earphones and mp3 player.
"Yes! Thanks Private!" Persephone hugged him as she snatched her mp3 from him and started to listen to her music.
With Rico, he wanted to sleep but he felt like he ate 10 spoons of sugar. He kept bouncing all day until it was night time. As they arrive, Rico was asleep. EVen though they only travelled for 3 hours, it was already 6:30 pm.
"Mommy, why is it already dark?" Hannah asked.
"You'll never get it until you're 7, sweetie." Marlene said as they called a taxi.
After the quick ride to a hotel, Skipper wrote their names as the manager gave them their keys to their room. They went to the elevator as Marlene pushed the button 7. As the elevator went up, the kids were busy running around like loose dogs. WHen they reached the top, the family walked to their room and opened the door.
Inside the room was 2 beds, big enough for the kids and the couple, a flatscreen tv, 4 end tables, 2 special lamps, 1 telephone, 1 grand bathroom, 1 large window for the family to stare at.
"Look at the size of that window!"
So, sorry for not updating I was busy reading and taking care and with my final exam.
