" Wow dudes, that snow is coming down major hard," Luna saud as she looked out the window. She and the others were currently in the living room, with the exception of Lori, who was busy in the kitchen making chili for everyone.

" This bites! I wanted to meet Bobbie Fletcher!"

" I am sure you did, but you heard on the radio. The contest was cancelled, and she would find a way to make it up to her fans in Royal Woods.."

Luan's words seemed to ease the young tomboy, but it seemed that something else was on her mind.

" There's one thing I don't understand. Why did mom and dad leave us all alone, knowing there was a snowstorm coming our way?"

Her siblings could only shrug their shoulders..

Meanwhile...

" I am sorry mam, but all roads to and from Royal Woods are currently closed to everyone except emergency personnell."

" But I have 11 kids at home!"

" Honey, maybe we should let the nice man behind the desk do his job, while we figure out how and when we can get home."

Sighing in defeat, Rita followed her husband back to their hotel room. Like their kids, they were confined to a single location, namely a hotel right outside Royal Woods. The 2 entered and sat on the bed.

" I just hope the kids are allright in this weather," Rita sighed.

" I am sure they are. Between you and me, maybe going to this hotel during a snowstorm was not a good idea."
