Author's note:

I hope you all don't mind how ridiculously rich I made her to be.  It would be the life anyone who wants to be rich would like.  If money were no object this would be so much fun in real life you know.  So that is why her place is so outrageous.  It was kind of putting the hidden passages of 'old movies', peep holes from Cleopatra, and pure architectural fantasy together; if it comes into my imagination, even if it is not realistic, I do it anyway.  

Okay, day to day life is boring me, so I will be skipping ahead.  When I do you will know.  I.E.: The next few weeks went by quickly, or …6 months later. Or something like that.   I just get bored with " the next day this and the next day that…"

I am not going to spend the rest of my life documenting a fictional character.  Common now, I do have a life. : p

2 week later…

"Hey you guys."

They were all sitting at the table eating a healthy breakfast. 

"Is anybody else bored?"

"Are you kidding Jules, how could anyone get bored living here?"  Asked Russ.

"Please, I am proof that it can happen.  I want to go somewhere, hot!"

"It is hot here."  Said Charlie.

"Okay, how bout Tropical?"  She asked.  A smile spread over her face.

"Oh no, she's smilin'" said Connie.

"That's not a good thing?"  Asked Duane.

Every one just looked at him.

"Do you guys want to go to…Pick a destination."

They all just started shaking their heads.  This woman was unbelievable.

"Okay Jules here's an idea.  It is your turn to choose what we do.  Since it was your idea."

"Okay, that is cool…"

She sat with a distant smile on her face, and looked around at the corners of the ceiling.

"Okay!  I got it, whoever wants to go, go pack your stuff, we are leaving in…oh…say 2 hours.  If you don't want to go, you are more than welcome to stay here, and enjoy yourselves."

"Where are we going?"  Louis asked.

"I wanna go someplace relatively close, so how 'bout a small island off the coast of Jamaica?"

"You never cease to amaze me Jules." Portman said.

She batted her eyes and said, "okay, I have to go get permission and all the stuff ready."

She ran to the library and poked her head in the door.

"Daddy?"

"Yes Angel?  Come in sweetheart."

She walked in and padded softly up beside the chair of her papa.  She looked up at him and smiled.  "Have I mentioned I love you?"

"What do you want?"  He said dryly.

She frowned, "That's mean Daddy!"

"Okay, fine, I love you too."  He said and kissed her on the head.

He pretended to go back to his papers on the desk. 

She was still sitting there.

"Shall I ask you again or are you going to tell me this time?"

She sighed, it was so unfair, for a man who was hardly around her whole life he knew her entirely too well.

"Oh nothing much, I just want to go with my friends to Jamaica…"  She said looking intently at what he was doing. 

"Oh is that all?  I was a little scared there, I thought you were going to ask me to bring you the north star for your friend Duane."

"Ha, ha very funny daddy.  So can we go?"

"Of course sweetheart.  Do you want cars while you are there?"

"Ummm, sure, one there should be enough."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"When did you want to leave darling?"

"2 hours…"

"Julie, I swear you are going to be the death of me."

"Thank you daddy, I love you!"  She said jumping up.

"No problem darling.  Don't get in any trouble!"

"DADDY!"

"I know, I know angel, silly of me to even say that."

"When do you want to come back?" He said talking to the papers in his hand.

"Can I call?"

"Sure, but give me a day's notice okay?"

"Thanks Dad, love you!"

"Love you too darling." He said looking up from his work then back at his papers.

She left the room to find Dean standing outside.

"How did you do that?"  He asked.

"Do what?"

"Have him wrapped around your finger like that?"

She smiled.  "He just feels bad."

"Bad for what?"

"Oh, it's nothing lets go!  We are going to have so much fun!"

"It's gonna be crowded and hot and muggy!  Why do you want to go there?"

"It won't be muggy, because we will be on the cool side of the island, and the whole point is that it is hot, and it wont be crowded, because…we own the island we are going to."  She said and smiled and walked away with a flounce.

"Did you just say you owned the island?"

"The island we are going to is under a special arrangement with my father's company.  So it is like we have a permanent lease or something.  All that maters is that for all intents and purposes we own the place.  And there are Lots of secret hiding places…"
