Three Hours Later

"Guys about a half an hour till our next stop." Ned said as he continued to drive the bus.

"Ok, this is ridiculous guys, we've been playing the same game of Go Fish for like three hours, can we please stop?" Jack asked as he threw his cards on the table.

"Fine Jack, but this just shows that you can't keep up with us older kids" Clu pointed out as he gathered all the cards.

"I'm gonna go see how Annie's doing" Emma told them as she got up and walked toward the back of the bus.

"Hey Annie, what's up?" Emma asked as she entered Annie's room.

"Not much, my parents wrote to me, their in Nepal right now." Annie told her.

"That must be so cool traveling around like that, I haven't been anywhere." Emma told her.

"It is, but I'm kinda glad that my parents let me stay with Molly." Annie responded.

"It must be hard to not have them near you though." Emma asked as she sat down in a chair.

"Yeah, but I'm enjoying life right now, so I'm happy." Annie told her as she closed her laptop.

"That's awsome, so, have you met any cute boys while you've been here?" Emma asked her.

"I really haven't met anyone yet." Annie told her.

" Oh c'mon there's got to be someone."

" OK fine, there was this guy that I met that went to our school, but he was kinda snobby, everyone called him Mr. Magnetism. He was cute, but I really didn't get a chance to know him because he had some problems." Annie told her.

"Oh, that stinks, well don't worry, this summer we're both gonna find some guys." Emma told her with confidence.

"Hey guys" Clu said as he enter the room.

"Hey Clu," The two of them responed in unison.

"What are you doing?" He asked them as he took a seat next to Emma.

"Just talking: Emma replied.

"My Dad wanted to tell you two that we'll be there in five minutes." Clu told them as he got up to leave.

"Thank you very much Clu for that informative information." Annie told him.

"Anytime" Clu said standing in the doorway.

"Bye Clu" Emma smiled at him as he disappeared to the front of the bus.

"You like him don't you?" Annie asked Emma.

"What? Me? No I don't" Emma told her as she stood up and began walking to the front of the bus.

"Do To" Annie told her as she followed Emma to the front of the bus.

"Do Not" Emma yelled back.

"What are you two arguing about?" Jack asked.

"Nothing" Emma answered as she took a seat next to him.

"Here we are guys" Ned said as he pulled into the parking lot of the Littleton Inn.

"Where is here?" Emma asked.

"We're spending the night in Littleton and heading to Dallas tommorow morning." Molly told her.

"Oh ok" Emma responded

"Everyone off" Ned told them as he opened the bus door.

They walked into the hotel and went up to the counter.

"Ummm......excuse me? Hello?" Molly asked the person standing behind the counter.

"Welcome to the Littleton Inn." The lady said in a very monotone voice. "What is the name?"

"Phillips" Molly told her.

"Here are your room keys." The lady handed them to Molly.

"Thank you" Molly told her as she took the keys.

"Ok guys, Annie and Emma, you're in room twelve, the three boys are in room thirteen, Ned and Irene are in fourteen, and I got room fifteen." Molly handed them each a key.

"Hey Mom can we go grab something to eat?" Jack asked her.

"Yeah of course, but be back by ten" Molly told them.

"Thanks Aunt Molly." Emma said.

"Noprob guys, but be careful OK?" Molly told them.

"You got it." Clu told her. "You coming Carey?"

"Go ahead Carey, we don't need to practice tonight, I'm just going to go to bed anyway." Molly told him.

"Thanks so much Mrs. P" Carey told her.

"So where do you want to go?" Emma asked as they stood outside the hotel.

"Let's see" Jack said as the looked around the small town center.

"How about that restaurant?" Annie asked as she pointed to the small restaurant across the street.
