(Here's Chapter 14, hope you like it, Enjoy.)
It was 9:30am and Carl was the first to wake up, while Lawrence and the others were still asleep. "Come on everybody, wake up" Carl said out loud in a nice tone of voice.
"Well as usual, let's just get ready" Lawrence said as he was the first one to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth, while everyone else was just getting their clothing ready.
Lawrence got out of the bathroom after a few minutes. "Hey Carl, so it's the same plan, we go to the Jacksonville real estate office, and look at the property records again" Lawrence said nicely.
"That's correct Lawrence" Carl said with a smile on his face.
Everyone got ready within the hour that passed by.
"Well everyone, do you got everything you need before we go" Lawrence said nicely to everyone. "I think we have everything we need" Carl said nicely. "We definitely have everything, counting everything in our luggage" Sara said with a bit of a laugh. "You're telling me Sara" Lucile said nicely.
"I got everything that I need right here" Rancis said as he was combing his hair to look good. "You and your perfect hair" Candlehead said while laughing a bit. "Everything has its purpose, other than that candle hat you always wear" Rancis said while laughing at the comment he said to Candlehead.
"Hey as you said previously, everything has its purpose" Candlehead said as she placed her hat on her head.
"Oh come on you two, quit fooling around" Crumbelina said while laughing. "Oh great, now Crumbelina is fooling around also" Jubileena said while laughing along with Crumbelina.
"Come on you kids, we have to get going" Carl said in a serious face. "He's right, we have to continue the search for our daughters" Lawrence said in agreement to what Carl said.
Then they all grabbed their luggage and went out the door of their motel room.
They all left their motel room and went to Carl and Lawrence's car. They got to the cars and the same people boarded Carl and Lawrence's car.
"Ok then, we will see you at the real estate office" Lawrence said as he got into the drivers seat of his car. "Ok, we will see you there" Carl said as he got into his car.
Both Carl and Lawrence started their car engines, and drove away from the motel to get to the real estate office.
They all arrived at the real estate office in just 20 minutes. Both Carl and Lawrence and the others got out of their cars. "Well then, let's head in" Lawrence said as he opened the door into the real estate office. "We're right behind you" Carl said as he and the others followed him into the real estate office.
They got into the office and both Carl and Lawrence saw that it was a woman working at her desk, and she kindly looked up to them and smiled.
"May I help you" she said kindly to Carl and Lawrence as the others went to sit down and wait for Carl and Lawrence. "Yes ma'am, we are looking for a man that could help us" Lawrence said kindly. "Well if you're looking for the boss, he's out for breakfast right now, and he won't be back till at least 11:30am" the woman said nicely. "Would you like to reserve an appointment to talk to the boss" the woman said nicely.
"Sure, that will be nice" Carl said nicely. "Well then, you both can sign at the reserved appointment list right here" the woman said as she handed them both a signature sheet for the appointment hearings. Both Carl and Lawrence signed their names in cursive.
"Well then, now that you're scheduled for an appointment, you could wait to where those people are waiting in those chairs over there" the woman said as she pointed her finger to where Lucile and Sara and the others were sitting at.
"Uh ma'am, there with us, we're traveling together" Lawrence said with a smile. "Oh sorry about that" the woman said kindly. "Well then it's settled, thank you for scheduling us for an appointment" Carl said nicely. "You're welcome" the woman said as Carl and Lawrence went back to sit down with the others.
They both sat with Lucile and Sara, including the others. "So how did it go" Sara said nicely to both of them. "Oh we have to wait till the head honcho get's back" Lawrence said with a smile.
"Head honcho, what does that mean" Candlehead said with curiosity. "Uh Candlehead, head honcho is a term meaning the person who's in charge" Rancis said with a bit of a laugh. "Oh so that's what it means" Candlehead said as she placed her hand on her head.
"Well it looks like we're going to be waiting till 11:30am everyone" Carl said while placing his hands together. "You're telling me" Lawrence said as he placed his hands together as well.
"Waiting, waiting, waiting, is that all we could do" Candlehead said while feeling bored. "I'm afraid so" Rancis said while laughing. "So what's real estate about" Crumbelina said with curiosity. "I say real estate always deals with houses" Jubileena said with a smile.
"Well actually, real estate does deal with houses, but sometimes customers who want to buy a home will always have a real estate agent show them around the new home, and persuade them to buy the home" Lawrence said with a smile.
"Well sounds like a hard job to do being a real estate agent" Candlehead said with curiosity on her face. "Well all you need is a high school diploma or a bachelor's degree in that specific field" Carl said with a smile. "But still, it's hard work doing the job efficiently" Lawrence said nicely.
They all kept talking to each other for the hour that went by.
It was 11:30am and the woman walked to both Carl and Lawrence and the others. "Carl, Lawrence, he's here, if you will please follow me to his office" the woman said as both Carl and Lawrence followed her to the back of the room.
"He's in his office" the woman said as she opened the door for them and they both stepped into the office.
Carl and Lawrence went into the office and saw a man with the same complexion as the man they saw yesterday.
"Hello, my name is Alan, how may I help you" Alan said with a smile. "Sir I don't know if you're allowed to do this, but we need to see the property book" Carl said with a serious look on his face. "Pardon me" Alan said with a curious look on his face.
"We need to see the property records" Lawrence said in a serious face. "Oh I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to just let people see the property records, I could lose my job" Alan said nicely. "Look, we know that it's against the law but it's highly ethical that we see that book" Carl said with a little bit of anger on his face.
"Listen to me, the both of you" Alan said with anger all of a sudden. "I can't show you the book, it's not my rule, it's the laws rule, and truthfully I can't lose my job, it's the only one I have" Alan said with anger at both Carl and Lawrence.
"Well then, I guess we're going to have to contact your brother" Carl said as he took out his phone from his pocket. "My brother, what are you talking about" Alan said with anger and curiosity. "You'll see" Lawrence said as Carl dialed the number from the card.
"Hello there, as I figured this might happen, your brother won't let us see the property records" Carl said over the phone. "You're brother wants to have a word with you" Carl said as he handed his phone to Alan.
After talking for a few minutes, Alan hanged up the phone and gave it back to Carl. "Ok I understand you're looking for your daughters, so I'm going to let you see the property records" Alan said as he handed them the property records book.
Lawrence looked for his daughters name in the T section. "I can't find Taffyta's name" Lawrence said as he checked again. After checking again he gave the records book to Carl. "I can't find Vanellope's name" Carl said as he checked again.
"Wait, did you say Vanellope and Taffyta" Alan said with a curious look on his face. "Yes, my daughters name is Vanellope" Carl said with a curious look. "My daughters name is Taffyta" Lawrence said with a curious look also. "Why do you ask" Carl said with curiosity.
"I saw them yesterday, they sold their property and went back home" Alan said to both Carl and Lawrence. Carl and Lawrence were silent for a moment.
"Our daughters are back home, we got to get back to Los Angeles" Carl said with a smile. "Oh and thank you for your time and for telling us" Lawrence said as he shook Alan's hand, Carl did the same and they left his office.
They went back to Sara and Lucile and the others who were waiting for them to return.
"Good news everyone" Carl said as everyone grew silent. "Our daughters are back home in Los Angeles" Lawrence said to everyone. "I have a hunch that they are waiting for us back at my house" Carl said with a smile on his face. "I have the same hunch" Lawrence said with a smile on his face also.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get back to Los Angeles" Sara said with a smile. "You took the words right out of my mouth" Lucile said with a smile.
They all left the real estate office and went back to the cars. The same people got back into Carl and Lawrence's car.
"Well let's get to the Jacksonville airport" Lawrence said as he went into the driver's seat of his car. "I'm right behind you" Carl said as he went to the driver's seat of his car also. Then they both started the engines and drove to the Jacksonville airport.
They were all at the Jacksonville airport and they all got out of Carl and Lawrence's car.
"Ok then, like last time, me and Carl are going to register our cars to go back to Los Angeles, we'll meet you all back in 10 minutes" Carl said as he and Lawrence drove off to get their cars registered, while Sara and Lucile and the others waited in the airport for them to return.
They all waited for 10 minutes and Carl and Lawrence had returned. "Alright everyone, just stay put while we buy the tickets" Carl said nicely. "We're way ahead of that" Rancis said while laughing a bit.
Carl and Lawrence were at the ticket stand and were waiting in line for a few minutes. After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was there turn to buy the tickets.
"Hello there, may I help you" the lady said nicely to both Carl and Lawrence. "Yes, we would like 8 tickets to Los Angeles please" Lawrence said nicely. "And are you both paying for the 8 tickets" the lady said nicely. "Yes we are" Carl said nicely. "That'll be $1600" the lady said nicely. Both Carl and Lawrence gave $800 each to the lady. Both Carl and Lawrence got the tickets. "Have a nice day" the lady said nicely. "You too" both Carl and Lawrence said nicely. Then they both went back to the others.
They got back to the others that were still waiting for them. "We got the tickets, our flight leaves at 4:00pm" Lawrence said to all of them as he handed their tickets, including one for Carl and for himself.
They waited for about an hour and it was 3:50pm. "The flight to Los Angeles will be leaving in 10 minutes" the intercom said. "Well, we all better get moving Carl said as he grabbed his luggage. Everyone else did the same. They all walked down to the Los Angeles gate.
They got to the Los Angeles gate and gave their tickets, and went through the tunnel to get to the plane.
Carl and Lawrence along with the others got to the plane and were going to sit in the middle class section. They all placed their luggage above the covers and all sat down in their seats.
"To think our daughters had an intention of going back home" Lawrence said with a smile. "I know I can't wait to see my daughter" Carl said with excitement. "Same here and I'm glad this wild goose chase is over with, I want to go home" Lawrence said as he was stretching his legs a bit. "You're telling me" Carl said as he was stretching his legs also.
"I sure can't wait to see my daughter" Lucile said with excitement. "I can't wait also, and I bet Lawrence is excited as well" Sara said with excitement. "I have the same feeling Carl is excited as well" Lucile said while laughing.
"Well we're going home" Candlehead said with a smile. "Yeah, I'm kind of going to miss Florida" Rancis said as he looked out the plane window. "Oh don't worry Rancis, I'm sure that you will be back for some orange juice in no time" Candlehead said with a giggle.
"Uh Candlehead, I'm not coming here for the orange juice, I'm coming for the vacation next time" Rancis said as he was laughing at the comment Candlehead said. "I was just kidding" Candlehead said as she was laughing along with Candlehead.
Crumbelina and Jubileena were looking out of their airplane window. "Well, it's been two days, but I'm ready to get home" Jubileena said while yawning. "I can't wait to get home too" Crumbelina said as she was stretching her arms. "Wake me when we get their" Jubileena said while falling asleep.
The intercom on the airplane came on. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin our 4 hour and 48 minute flight to Los Angeles in just a few moments, the weather is perfectly clear, and we will expect to make our arrival more efficiently while flying, thank you and enjoy your flight" then the intercom went off.
After a few minutes, the plane took off into the sky, flying away from Florida.
Vanellope and Taffyta were up watching TV in Vanellope's home. Then Taffyta looked sad.
"What's wrong Taffyta" Vanellope said to her girlfriend nicely. "Oh it's nothing" Taffyta said with a bit of a smile on her face. "I know, I miss my parents too" Vanellope said sadly. "I hope they come back soon" Taffyta said. "And they will, I have a hunch that they will be back in no time" Vanellope said with a smile.
"I think I have that same hunch too" Taffyta said with a smile. "You see, I bet are parents are on their way right now" Vanellope said with a smile. "I hope so" Taffyta said with a smile still on her face.
Then they continued to watch TV.
The intercom came on in the airplane. "Ladies and gentleman, we are about to land in Los Angeles, we hope you enjoyed your flight to Los Angeles, and we hope to see you again in the future" then the intercom turned off.
"Well we made it to Los Angeles" Carl said with a smile. "I'm glad we did" Lawrence said with a smile.
The plane landed and all the passengers were getting out of their seats and getting their luggage from the covers.
Carl and Lawrence along with the others grabbed their luggage from the covers and went out of the airplane into the LA airport. When they got into the airport as always, it was packed.
"Talk about always full" Candlehead said with a giggle. "It is always full" Rancis said as he laughed at the comment that Candlehead said. "I find you the funniest out of the comedians I see on TV sometimes" Rancis said while laughing.
"Alright everyone, wait here while Lawrence and I get are cars" Carl said nicely. Everyone sat down on the airport chairs as Carl and Lawrence went off the get their cars back.
After waiting for 10 minutes, Carl and Lawrence came back for the others that were waiting for them. "Ok now, are cars are here, so let's get going" Lawrence said as all of them were getting up from the chairs and were following Carl and Lawrence to their cars.
They all were at Carl and Lawrence's car, and as usual the same people rode in the separate cars. "Ok then, lets get home" Carl said as he went into the drivers seat of his car. "I'm right behind you" as Lawrence did the same.
Both cars got started, and drove away from the airport.
Vanellope and Taffyta were still watching TV after many hours of waiting for their parents to get back.
"Babe, I'm going to go to the kitchen to get us some snacks" Vanellope said as she got up from the couch. "Ok babe" Taffyta said as she continued watching TV.
Vanellope got to the kitchen and looked around to see if there were any snacks, then Vanellope suddenly heard the sound of car engines outside of the house. Vanellope knew that sound, it was their parent's vehicles. She ran back to the living room to alert Taffyta of the news.
"Taffyta" Vanellope yelled out loud. "What is it baby" Taffyta said with a bit of worry. "Are parents, their outside" Vanellope said with excitement. Then Taffyta turned off the TV.
"Finally, we're home at last" Carl said with relief as he stretched his arms in the air. "That was a lot of traveling we did" Lawrence said while he to was stretching his arms too. Everyone got out of Carl and Lawrence's car.
"Sure glad we're all home" Lucile said with a smile. "Same here" Sara said with a smile also. Then the door opened from Carl and Lucile's house.
Carl and Lawrence along with Lucile and Sara couldn't believe their eyes to what they were seeing. They saw two girls that were just staring at them with smiles on their faces, smiles they haven't seen in 2 months.
"Mom, Dad is that really you" Vanellope said as she and Taffyta walked closer to them. "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry we ran away like that" Taffyta said as she was getting sad and hugged her parents. Vanellope hugged her parents also.
"I'm also sorry that we ran away like that" Vanellope said as she kept hugging her parents. Then both Carl and Lawrence stopped hugging their daughters.
"Taffyta, it's my fault that you and Vanellope ran away" Lawrence said with a sad face. "It's my fault too" Carl spoke up with confidence. "Girls, it was just the feud between me and Carl that caused you to run away like that, it's entirely our fault" Lawrence said while still sad.
"And Vanellope, me and Carl came to an agreement" Carl said as he was waiting for Lawrence to explain. "It doesn't matter who you love Taffyta, as long as you're happy, I'm happy" Lawrence said with a smile. "And I'm happy too" Carl said nicely while smiling.
"So does this mean Vanellope and I could stay together" Taffyta said with a smile on her face. "Yes honey, you two could stay together, me and Carl agreed on that, did we Carl" Lawrence said with a smile. "Yes we have, Vanellope you can be together with Taffyta" Carl said as he was smiling.
"As for me and Carl, we are going to be the best of friends" Lawrence said as Lucile and Sara along with the others were smiling. Vanellope and Taffyta hugged each other, as Rancis and Candlehead along with Crumbelina and Jubileena approached the two and greeted them with hugs.
"Welcome back" Candlehead said nicely. "We missed you" Rancis said nicely. "It seems we haven't seen you gals in a long time, but we're glad that you are back home" Crumbelina said with a smile on her face. "I second that motion" Jubileena said while smiling.
(That's Chapter 14, hope you enjoyed.)
