'We're leaving on a jet plane. We don't know when we'll be back again.' Mason and Olivia sang as they dragged their suitcases down the stairs.
'Hyper much?' Karen asked, whilst gathering things in her hand baggage.
'We're leaving on a jet plane!' Mason shouted.
'Does anybody want travel sickness pills before I out them into the bag?' Karen asked.
'Nah, I don't get travel sick.' Olivia stated whilst dancing around the room.
'Me neither.' Mason said.
'Do you have your passports?' Karen was trying to make sure they had everything before they left.
'No.' Olivia and Mason answered in chorus.
'Why not?'
'Because you have them.' Olivia responded.
Karen thought for a moment before answering. 'So I do. Go back to your singing and dancing.' Olivia and Mason looked at each other and nodded, before doing exactly a Karen had told them.
'We're all going on our Christmas holidays!' As Olivia and Mason sang and danced, Jack and Elliot walked in the door.
'How can you be so hyper at eleven thirty at night?' Jack asked.
'Because…help me out here Olivia.' Mason said. Olivia nodded in agreement.
'We're leaving on a jet plane. We don't know when we'll be back again!' Mason and Olivia continued to sing and dance.
'How long have they been like that?' Jack asked Karen quietly.
'Since 6.30 this morning.' Karen answered. 'They woke me up with their singing and dancing.'
'Poor you.' Jack said sympathetically.
'Yeah, thanks!' Karen answered in mock sarcasm.

The cab to the airport was a lot of fun, especially for the singing twins.
'Here, take a twenty dollar tip for putting up with their singing.' Karen said, whilst paying the driver.
'Okay, so where do we check in?' Elliot said.
'Inside probably. Somebody find a suitcase trolley.' Jack said, digging the suitcases out of the cab. Mason and Olivia immediately went to find a trolley, still singing and dancing. Karen and Jack continued loading suitcases out of the cab when Olivia and Mason returned, flying on the trolleys.
'God, you two are worse than kids.' Jack stated.
'Hey! We're choosing to act our shoe sizes!' Olivia protested.
'By the way, what is your shoe size?' Elliot asked.
'Four.' Olivia answered sheepishly.
'And what's yours?' Mason was asked this time.
'Five.' Mason answered even more sheepishly than Olivia had.
'Aw, how cute! You two have tiny feet!' Elliot giggled, before getting hit across the head by Olivia's hand.
---
Waiting in the long check-in line certainly calmed the shoe size acting, crazily dancing Olivia and Mason down. Waiting in the line almost bored them to tears. At least now, they were called up to the check-in desk.
'I'm sorry to tell you that there is already an hour delay on your flight.' The check-in assistant told them. This was answered by a series of grunts that came form Karen, Elliot, Olivia and Mason.
'Why? What's the problem?' Jack asked.
'There was a flight cancelled earlier so it has had a knock-on effect on all of our other flights.'
'Oh man!' Olivia said.
'Liv, I wouldn't worry. It just means we have more time to shop in duty-free.' Karen said, trying to make the most out of a bad situation.
'Oh yay! More shopping time!'
'Teenage girls.' Jack jokingly said to the check-in assistant.
'Hey!' Olivia shouted.

Two hours into the flight, they had already flown through some bad turbulence. It was messing with Olivia's stomach. Now that they seemed to be flying through a calm sky, Olivia tired to put her head down and sleep off the nauseous feeling.
'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We appear to be coming up to more turbulence. Please fasten your seatbelts until the seatbelt light flashes off.'
'Damn. For god sake. Why didn't I take those travel sickness pills?' Olivia whispered to herself. Not taking the travel sickness tablets had been a bad decision. They still had another four hours to fly, and by the looks of it, another four hours through turbulence. Sitting in the window seat – also not the best decision Olivia had ever made. And she argued so much for that seat too.
'Liv, you don't look so good.' Mason said. He was answered with an evil look. 'Oops. Should have kept my big mouth shut.'
'Move! Move! Let me out!' Olivia shouted. 'Come on, do you want me to throw up all over you?' Olivia sarcastically asked, battling her way past Elliot and Mason before quickly making her way to the toilet.
'Is she throwing up?' Karen asked sleepily from the other side of the aisle.
'I'll get her.' Jack said, getting up from his seat. 'Olivia, are you okay?' Jack asked through the airplane toilet door. He was answered with the sound of vomiting.
'Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to take your seat. The seatbelt light is still on.' A snooty air stewardess told Jack.
'I will take my seat once I make sure my daughter is okay.' Jack answered the stewardess sternly and in a fatherly tone. Jack's choice of words caught Olivia's attention from the other side of the lavatory door. 'Did he just call me his daughter?' She thought to herself before another round of sickness forced her to not to think about it.
'I'm sure she will be fine. Take your seat immediately.' The air stewardess ordered, not giving a toss about Olivia, who was violently vomiting on the other side of the bathroom door.
'I'm sorry but do you have a family?' Jack asked in a defensive tone.
'No. Why is that any of your concern?' The stewardess asked in a scathing tone.
'Well, when you do have a family, you'll realise that making sure your kids are okay is the only thing you really care about and how it feels when a bitchy air stewardess is telling you that you are not allowed to make sure that they are fine. ' Just then, the stewardess called the chief steward.
'What seems to be the problem here?' The chief steward asked.
'This gentleman is refusing to take his seat.' The air stewardess said in a malicious tone.
'No, I didn't refuse to take my seat. I said I would take my seat once I made sure my daughter was okay as she is violently vomiting in the lavatory.'
'Ellie, was there really any need to call on me? The gentleman is just making sure his kid is all right. Sir, make sure she is okay then take your seat.' The chief steward said, before dragging the stewardess away.
'Thank you.' Jack said to the chief steward. He had no thanks to give to the stewardess. 'Liv, are you alright?' Olivia then emerged from the toilet, chalk white and barely able to support her own weight. 'Honey, let's get you back to your seat.' Olivia merely nodded faintly, not having the energy to say or do anything else.
'Is she okay?' Karen asked in an extremely concerned tone, noticing that Jack was practically having to carry Olivia back to her seat. Jack simply shook his head. He had the feeling that Olivia was suffering from more than just travel sickness.
'Do you guys want to move along a seat so Olivia can sit at the aisle in case she needs to be sick again?' Jack said to Mason and Elliot, who did as they were asked. 'Try to get some sleep.' Jack said to Olivia as she virtually fell back onto the seat. Olivia didn't seem to acknowledge Jack's comment.
'Excuse me, is she okay?' The passenger in the seat in front of Jack asked.
'I'm sure she'll be fine.' Jack answered unconvincingly but quietly in the hope that Karen, who was frantically fidgeting, wouldn't hear. 'I think she must have picked up a bug or something.'
'Well, I hope she feels better soon. Where are you staying?' The passenger tried to start a conversation up with Jack to tried and make him forget his nerves.
'The Tropical Beach Resort. How long we stay there for will depend on how ill Olivia is. We might decide to take her back home.'
---
An hour more into the flight, Olivia was still either sleeping or passed out. The in-flight meals were being handed out. The news of Jack's confrontation with the air stewardess had spread quickly amongst the cabin crew, whom were disgusted at the air stewardess' attitude to the situation.
'Um, should I leave a meal for her?' Another stewardess asked.
'Wait a minute and I'll see.' Jack said. 'Liv.' Jack tried to wake her up. 'Liv, honey, do you feel like eating something?' Olivia shook her head slightly before going back to sleep. 'I wouldn't bother.' Jack told the stewardess.
---
The end of the flight finally arrived. Olivia had slept the whole time, except when she had to get up to be sick a few more times.
'Is it okay if we wait until everyone else is off to make it easier to get her awake?' Karen asked a passing steward.
'Yeah, that will be fine. I hope she feels better soon.'
'Yeah, so do we.'
A/N: I am so sorry for long wait between updates but I've been on holiday! I hope you like it!
