~*~ Thank you for all the reviews. I'm not going to write about the plane
flight because . . . who wants to hear about that? Oh, I messed up on
Lizzie's aunt and uncle's names they're Aunt Beth and Uncle Tom. ~*~
As Lizzie stepped into the small airport in Allentown, Pennsylvania she thought about when she said goodbye to her dad.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Lizzie, I don't want you to go. It wasn't my idea . . . don't hate me, hate your mother." Her dad said with a smile.
"I don't hate either of you . . . I just don't see why I have to go to dullsville."
"Your mom says it's for your own good."
~*~End of Flashback~*~
She was going to miss her dad. She wished he would just speak for himself though. She searched the airport for any familiar faces. Finally Lizzie's little cousin, Marian, ran up to her. Marian was incredibly hyper. Her other cousin, Sharon, came up behind Marian with her two older cousins, Anna and Andrew, behind them. "Hi Lizzie." Said Anna. Anna was always happy. She was seventeen.
"Hi." Lizzie didn't like these people. A thought occurred to her. She'd have to call her parents later and ask them about it.
"Mom and Dad are home. Mom's making you something to eat I think. C'mon, let's get your bags and go home." Andrew said. He was 20 and in the Army Reserves.
"Okay." They all went home. Marian was jumping around talking to Lizzie, saying, "You're lucky, you get to have your own room. It's the guest room, but still. It's just yours." That was a plus for Lizzie. Last time the whole family visited and Matt and Lizzie had to share a room.
Finally at her aunt and uncles house, Lizzie went up to her room and unpacked. Her Aunt Beth came up and gave her some fudge. "I just made it . . . I wanted you to have the first of it . . . if Marian has anymore sweets she's going to go crazy, so eat a lot."
"Okay . . . thanks."
"You're welcome . . . oh, and do whatever you want to the room. You're going to be here for a while."
"Okay." Her aunt left her alone and she took out her boards. She had six. She set them up in the corner. Then she took out her cds and put them on a shelf. After all her stuff was unpacked she picked up the phone and called her parents. "Hello?" her mom answered groggily.
"Hi mom . . . its Lizzie."
"You want to come home *already*?"
"Actually, yes . . . but that's not why I called. I wanted to know if I was going to public school or are they home-schooling me?"
"They're going to home school you . . . won't that be fun?"
"Fun isn't the word . . . bye mom." And Lizzie hung up. She was furious with her mother now. She didn't want to be here . . . she wanted to be in her warm room back in California talking to Gordo and Miranda on the three- way. "Lizzie!" Marian called while running into Lizzie's room. "Mom said that you have to go to bed because tomorrow you're coming with us to drama."
"You mean acting drama?" Lizzie turned to face Marian and froze.
"What other kind is there?" Marian skipped out of the room and into her room next door. "I can't go to an acting thing" Lizzie thought to herself, "This is going to be a long couple of months." She was staying until summer, which was two months away. Finally, at midnight, she got into her bed and fell asleep. It had been a *long* day.
