CHAPTER 1:

On the evening of May 1st, Aubrey took Flo and Unicycle to visit some friends of hers and Chad's.

"How do you know these people?" Flo asked.

"They moved here to Paramus just a few months ago, and their daughter is great friends with Finn," Aubrey explained before ringing the doorbell.

"Oh, hello, Aubrey," Debbie said, answering the door.

"Hey, Debbie, I'd like you to meet some friends of mine. This is Flo Fuentes and her fiance Michael Belsi, though many people call him Unicycle," Aubrey said, introducing them.

"Nice to meet you. Come on in," Debbie said, and the three did so.

When they came inside, they all took a seat at the kitchen table.

"So, Debbie, we wanted to talk to you about something," Aubrey said hopefully.

"Sure, anything," Debbie said.

"Flo and Unicycle will be getting married in a few days. They've chosen to go to London for their honeymoon. They're excited about the trip, but they've never been there before," Aubrey said.

"Well, we were thinking about going back to visit at some point in time," Debbie mentioned.

"Really? Well, maybe we ought to meet up while we're there," Unicycle suggested.

"Yeah, would you be willing to meet up with us while we check out some of the sights?" Flo asked.

"Well, that's an interesting idea," Debbie said, thinking. "I'd love to visit family, and I wouldn't mind meeting up one day," she said to Flo and Unicycle. "I'll have to sit down and talk to Nigel about it, though, before I can say yes or no. But if Nigel agrees, I'm all in. Not only that, but I'm sure Eliza would love a chance to reconnect with some of her old friends from back home," Debbie said.

"I bet she would," Aubrey agreed.

"When's the honeymoon?" Debbie asked.

"We're getting married on May 9th, and we leave for London on the 16th," Flo explained.

"In that case, we'll get back to you within a couple days," Debbie said.

"Well, I hope it works out! I think it would be fun. And it was very nice to meet you," Flo said, shaking Debbie's hand.

"Likewise," Debbie said, accepting the handshake.

After the conversation, Flo and Unicycle were looking forward even more eagerly to finding out what kind of sights they would see on their honeymoon.


The following day, Debbie and Eliza sat down with Nigel and discussed the possibility of taking a trip to London as an opportunity to catch up with some friends that they hadn't seen since they moved to the States. After a lengthy dinner discussion, Nigel thought it was a great idea for the family to visit London again. Eliza was equally excited because she had a lot of friends back home she missed and was looking forward to reconnecting with them for a week.
