Jody Sawyer unlocked her apartment and kicked the door shut behind her. She dropped all her bags and immediately checked her messages.

"You have 3 new messages…" The mechanical voice said.

"Hi honey, it's Mom. What are you doing next week? We remember you saying something about summer vacation and we wanted to see you. We haven't seen you in so long. How's that Chuckie boy doing? Call us back, bye, we love you."

Jody rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch to listen to the rest.

"Jody? It's Cooper… well, that's about it. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"

Jody rolled her eyes again and waited for the next message.

"Hi Jody! My parents called today, they want me to go see them for part of my vacation. I really don't wanna go do that, but they have their hearts set on it. I think you'd like it up there, so I was wondering if you wanted to come with me. I'm sure they won't mind. So, call me back and we'll talk. I love you, bye."

Jody smiled and called Charlie back.

"Hello?"

"Charlie, hey, I got your message."

"Really? What do you think?"

"I don't know. I haven't even met your parents before. And… we're not even together anymore… and… you… you still love me…"

"Jody, that doesn't matter. I bring friends up to my parent's place all the time. Last summer I brought Eva and Erik."

"Yeah…" Jody nodded. "I know. Bu the reason you didn't take me was because I was visiting my parents. They want to see me too."

"Oh," Charlie's voice dropped, "I see… well, it was worth a shot."

Jody sighed. "No, I'll go Charlie… when do we leave?"

Charlie smiled and rambled off the details. After that, they hung up and Jody started packing for the trip.
