Okay! Enjoy Chapter 9!!!

Chapter 9:

Alex smiled and walked into her house. What she saw shocked her.

"Mom, Dad?" she asked happily.

Her mom and dad were sitting on the couch talking to Robby Ray, with Anna in between them.

Alex put her purse down and ran over and gave each of them a hug.

"Oh my gosh! You weren't supposed to be here for another week!" she said sitting next to her dad.

"Well, we decided to come a little early," said Alex's mom, amused at Alex's behavior.

Alex grinned.

"Now Alex," said her mom, "Your father and I have been talking and we have to tell you something," she said sternly.

"Oh, this can't be good," said Alex, her mood suddenly becoming less happy.

"No, no, it's not bad," said her mom.

Alex smiled, "Okay…then what is it?" she asked.

"Well, you know how our jobs require us to travel a lot," her mom said.

Alex nodded.

"Well, we think it would be best for you and Anna to stay here while we travel," said her mom.

Alex smiled, "That's it?" she asked.

"Well…no," said her dad.

"You see Alexandra," said her father, "We have to travel to Orlando for a week."

Alex frowned, "What? But you just got here, and you're already leaving?" she asked.

Her parents looked at each other.

"I can't believe this! I'm so sick of you guys never being here!" she cried. She ran upstairs and slammed her bedroom door.

She started to cry when she realized that there were boxes all around her room.

"What in the world?" she asked.

She walked downstairs, trying not to look like she had just been crying, "Why are their boxes in my room? It's not even my room!" she said.

"W-well, sweetie, that's what we wanted to talk about, you see, your father and I got promoted, so we will be traveling a lot more, so we thought it would be best if you just stayed here with your Uncle Robby," said her mom.

"We already asked him, and he said he would be happy to turn the two guestrooms into yours and Anna's bedrooms," said her father.

Alex tried to take this all in, "So, y-you'll never be around?" she asked.

"No, of course we will! We just think, that since we won't be around…" her father tried to think of the right words, "as much, you could just live here," he said.

Alex didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She just turned around and went back up to her room. She started to look at the boxes and found the ones labeled clothes. She went through them, occasionally finding things she would never wear, and made a pile.

"Oh my gosh! What was I thinking?" she asked holding up an ugly red plaid skirt.

She continued to go through her clothes, and finally, all five boxes of clothes were empty.

"Done," she said walking around. Just then, she found a box labeled shoes. Alex groaned, "I need a closet like Miley's," she said putting her head on her pillow.

"Funny you should as that," said a voice.

Alex lifted her head up and saw Miley smiling like crazy. Lilly was next to her, smiling.

Alex looked at the two and said, "You guys are freaking me out," she joked.

Miley laughed and sat down next to Alex, "I know you don't want to live here, and I know you don't want your parents to travel, but," said Miley walking over to her closet, "there are also some perks," she said.

Alex stood up and looked at her, "What are you talking about?"

Miley pulled out a remote and stepped inside her closet, "Watch," she said.

Alex nodded and watched as Miley pushed a button, and her clothes parted and she saw two French doors that said AS on both door.

Alex smiled and said, "You didn't."

Miley smiled, "Oh, but I did," she said.

Miley smiled and opened the doors and revealed a closet that was painted purple, with pictures of all of her favorite actors and actresses on the wall. She pushed another button and the wall opened to find a girl's dream; A whole wall of new and the coolest styles of shoes.

"No way!" she said.

Miley nodded, "After I saw how many boxes of clothes and shoes you had, I decided maybe you needed this," she said.

Alex smiled, "I did! Thank you so much!" she said.

Miley held up a finger, "Wait a second," she said. She pressed a combination on the remote and a wall opened and revealed a shelf of wigs of all styles and two shelves of jewelry.

"Okay, now since this one has wigs, and of course, no one can no you're Andréa, you have to press a combo to get this wall to pop up. All the other stuff you just press a button," said Miley.

Alex nodded, "Thank you so much!" she said.

Miley nodded and said, "Oh! One more thing," said Miley.

"There's more?!" asked Alex.

Miley laughed. "Press…button number 5," she said.

Alex nodded and pressed the button and a wall turned around and she saw a revolving rack of new clothes, along with a flat box.

"How did you afford all this?" she asked in awe.

"Oh, I didn't by the clothes, or whatever is in the box, that was your parents," she said.

Alex smiled and walked over to the box and opened it. There, was a shiny, new laptop. She opened it and sat down and turned it on. Miley sat next to her, and Lilly sat on her other side.

When the computer came to the desktop, Yahoo IM popped up.

"What in the world?" she asked.

There, was everyone from the Tipton and everyone from Albuquerque. She gasped.

"Wow!" she said.

Just then, she got an IM.

"Hold on, let me go get my computer," said Miley. Miley ran out of the closet and came back about five minutes later, with her computer in hand. It had stickers of flowers and hearts all over it. She plugged it in and sat down.

"Lilly, go get yours!" she said. Lilly ran out of the closet and came back with a computer with stickers of skateboards all over it.

Alex turned off her computer and laid down.

"Guys, I think I owe my parents a couple thousand thank you's," she said.

Miley nodded, "Well, their leaving in about five minutes, so you better go," she said.

Alex nodded, "Wait! How do you know that?" she asked.

"I have cameras set all around the house to get blackmail on Jackson," said Miley. She did an evil laugh.

"Oh my gosh you're Luann!" said Alex.

Miley laughed, "No I'm not, trust me," she said, "I've inherited things thoughAlex laughed, "Good, you'll never believe what she did to me last summer! She threw my in the lake!" she said.

Miley laughed, "Last Halloween, she tried to expose my secret!" she said.

"Which she…totally thought of all by herself!" said Lilly nervously.

Alex looked at Lilly weirdly, "Yeah…well, I'm going to go find my parents and say good-bye and stuff," she said.

She put her computer down and stood up and stretched. She walked out of her closet and downstairs where she saw her parents talking.

Man they talk a lot! She thought.

She walked into the living room and stood in front of her parents.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry," she said. "You guys do so much for me, and I couldn't do one thing for you," she said trying not to cry.

"Anna, why don't you find Jackson and ask him to play Candyland," said her mom.

Anna nodded and hopped off the couch and ran upstairs. Alex sat down between her parents.

"Alex, we're sorry that we aren't home often," said her mom, "but you have to understand that we are very lucky to be in charge of such a big company," she said.

Alex nodded, "I understand. I guess I was just sad because you guys just got here and then you're leaving already," she said.

Her father nodded, "We understand that, but thank you for understanding," he said.

"And the only reason we didn't want to buy a house is because we would be paying for things that your father and I never use," said her mom.

"But is it fair that Uncle Robby has to pay for something Anna and I use?" she asked.

Her mom smiled, "We raised a smart girl," she said making Alex smile, "We are going to pay part of the bill. The part you and Anna use," she said.

Alex nodded.

"So, you saw your closet already, huh?" she asked.

Alex beamed and nodded, "Its amazing! Thank you for all the clothes!" she said.

Her mom smiled, "We thought you would like them," she said.

"There is one more thing for you," said her dad.

"More? You guys don't have too, you guys probably spent like a million dollars on me," she said.

Alex's parents were very rich, being the boss and founders of a huge international country. However, they almost never bought things for their kids. In fact, Alex and Anna didn't really have any idea how rich their parents really are. They always bought their own things with their own allowance. But, about once a year, their parents bought them one or two things, just because.

Alex's mom laughed, "Its something that we both think will help you get settled in," she said.

Alex nodded, "Okay…" she said.

"Go upstairs, and Miley will tell you what to do," she said. "And then you and Miley can help Anna get her presents," she said.

Alex nodded and gave them both a hug, "Thank you so much," she said.

Alex ran upstairs and into her bedroom and ran into her closet. She fell on the floor from lack of oxygen. She breathed for about five seconds before standing back up.

"Okay, where is it?" she asked.

"Press button number 6," said Miley absentmindedly.

Alex pressed button number six, but it turned the wall that Miley and Lilly were sitting against around, making them turn around too.

"Miley? Lilly?" she asked.

"A little help here!" she said from behind the wall.

"Ohmigosh! I am so sorry!" she said pressing button number five.

The wall turned back around and Miley and Lilly stood up.

"That's the last time I sit on your revolving floor," said Miley.

Alex laughed and put hers, Lilly's and Miley's computer on the desk.

"Okay, now press number 6," she said.

Alex pressed number six and the wall turned around and revealed a 20" television, and a digital cable box with DVR.

"No way!" she said.

Miley squealed, "Come on, let's go set it up!" she said.

Alex nodded and all three girls struggled to bring it out of the closet. They set it up, and fifteen minutes later, they were all watching Disney Channel.

"Oh! Guys, we've got to go give Anna her presents," said Alex.

Miley and Lilly stood up, "Come on!" said Miley.

Miley, Lilly, and Alex ran out of the room and into Anna's room that had already been decorated with Dora all over the walls. In addition, her clothes were all in her closet and she was on the floor, coloring with a new box of crayons on her Playskool desk.

"Hey Anna, its that time of year again!" said Alex.

Anna immediately perked up, "Really?" she asked.

Alex nodded.

Miley found the card that her parents had written where the presents were and showed it to Alex.

"Let's look in the closet," said Alex.

Anna looked in the closet and found three boxes: two small ones and a big one.

"Which one do you want to open first?" asked Alex.

Anna pointed to the big one.

"Good choice," said Lilly.

They all sat down and watched as Anna opened it and opened the box.

"Wow! A box! I always wanted a box!" said Anna.

"Try opening the box," said Alex.

Anna opened the box and found ten new shirts and ten new pants, and five new pairs of shoes.

"Wow! This is almost as good as a box!" she said.

Alex slapped her hand to her forehead and said, "Why don't we open the other two?" she asked.

Anna nodded and walked over to the two small ones, "I wanna open this one!" she said.

Alex nodded, "Go ahead!" she said.

Miley and Lilly and Alex watched as Anna ripped off the wrapping paper in record time.

"Wow! An iPod!" she said.

Alex walked over, "It's a MP3 player, just for three year olds! You can put videos, and stories, and songs on it!" she said.

Anna looked at it with fascination, "Wow," she said in awe.

"Open the last one!" said Lilly.

Anna nodded and ripped off the paper even faster than last time.

"A Digital Camera for little kids!" she said.

"Wow!" said Alex looking at it, "The kid tough digital camera!" she said.

Anna ran downstairs and gave her parents a hug and took a picture of everything and everyone.

The rest of the day went smoothly. The older girls watched TV in Alex's room and chatted with their friends from all over the country. Before they knew it, it was eleven o' clock at night.

"Good thing it's Friday," said Miley rolling out the air mattresses.

"Totally," said Alex rolling out hers. She didn't have her bed set up yet, so she had been sleeping on an air mattress for the last couple weeks.

"Yeah," said Lilly.

All of them went to bed and gently fell asleep.
