The next morning, Nancy, Bess, and George were boarding a plan to the airport located by Jaime and Nick's new home.

" Hey, Nancy! Jaime said she wanted you to call here as soon as we are able to use our cell phones on the plane," George reached over Nancy to poke Bess. Bess was startled,

" What? I didn't do it!" Bess said, jumping and buckling her seat belt as instructed by the retiring plane Captain.

" You were boy-watching weren't you?" George said, rolling her eyes and also buckling.

" I was—ooh! Look at him!" Bess spotted her next pray.

" Thanks George. I'll call her first thing!"

When they were able to use their phones, Nancy dialed Jaime's room-phone number.

Ring-Ring

" Yello?" a gruff voice asked.

" Jaime? It's Nancy," Nancy said.

" Oh! Hi Nancy! What's u—oh what am I sayin'; when do ya need us ta come pick ya up?" Jaime asked.

" Oh, I'd say about and hour or so. Did I just wake you up?" Nancy asked.

" Uh—yeah. But whatever, I'm awake now. I'll go tell my dad that we need to pick ya up in an hour! I'll talk to ya soo—HEY!" Jaime's end of the line became a bunch of scruffy noises.

" Nancy?" Nickole asked suddenly, shaky.

" Yes?" Nancy replied excepting some pop from the stewardess.

" I saw her again! She was there and the singing and all of it!"

" Just calm down, Nick. We'll be there in an hour," Nancy said.

" Oh, ok. Well I guess we'll talk to you then! Bye!"

" Bye!" Nancy hung up, and then suddenly realized that Bess and George were looking at her. "What?"

" What did they say?" Bess asked.

" They said they'd meet us at the airport and that Nick saw and heard her again," Nancy took a sip of her pop.

" Really?" Bess asked wide-eyed.

Nancy and George laughed and enjoyed the rest of the ride chatting among themselves and Bess.

Once at the airport Jaime and Nick came running up.

" Hi you guys!" Nick said.

" Y'all enjoy yer flight?" Jaime asked, her Texas accent shining.

" Yeah, it was fun! But I'm pooped! A day of traveling makes me tired," Bess yawned.

" Well, we'll grab your bags and you can show them to the car, Jaime. What color bags do you three have?" Mrs. Kreeg asked.

" They are all navy blue and square, Mrs. Kreeg. Oh, and thank you!" Nancy said as they were shoved into the elevator. Mrs. and Mr. Kreeg smiled and walked off to go claim their luggage.

" So! How long are ya gunna stay?" Jaime said to George.

" As long as it takes for Detective Drew to solve this mystery!" Bess giggled.

" Here we are! 'Ome sweet 'ome!" Jaime said. "See? That's the castle I wrote to ya about!" Jaime helped them with their stuff and to the guest bedrooms.

" Wow! Your house is beautiful!" Nancy remarked as she looked around her new room for her stay.

" Thank ya! Well, there are a coupla rules first! One: While stayin' in this house ya are a family member and are welcome to any food or computer usin' at anytime and two: Ya are to call my parents by their first name in the house, 'enry an' Beth!" Jaime told importantly. Nancy smiled,

" Is that it?"

" Yeah. Kinda borin' I know! Oh, one more: No leaving the house after eleven p.m.!"

" DINNER TIME, KIDS!" Beth called up the stairs.

" Yeah! My fave'rite time of the day!" Jaime said running down the stairs.

" Besides bed time!" Nick giggled, running after her.

" For brand new step-sisters, they sure do get along well!" Bess said, slowly following after them with Nancy and George. They laughed.

DING-DONG!

" I'll get it!" Jaime rushed to the door and did a fake scream, " Oh my Gawd! What are ya doin' here?" Jaime's voice asked.

" I came ta see my gurl!" A male, Texas accented voice replied.

" Well, c'mon in! It's time fer some supper!" Jaime returned to the dinning room with a tall, good-looking guy. He was defiantly a true Texas-boy, because he was wearing jeans, cowboy boots, a collar top, and a cowboy hat, he removed it as he said hello,

" 'Ello Mrs. and Mr. Kreeg! Long 'ime no see!" He said sitting down beside Jaime and Bess.

" Why hello Keith! When did you get in town?" Mrs. Kreeg asked.

" A while back, my ma's ma lives up 'ere and we're visitin'! So, I decided ta come see my gurl!" He wrapped an arm around Jaime's shoulders. Jaime looked as happy as she could ever be.

" Hey Keith! These are our new friends Nancy D., Bess M., and George F." Jaime said nodding to each of them as she said their name.

" Howdy gals! I'm Keith Gardner!" Keith nodded in respects.

" Hi Keith..." Bess said.

After dinner Keith left and they now sat in Nick's room, where there was a debate going on:

" She is too real!" Nick said, "You just stay here until midnight and see for yourself! Meanwhile...let's play cards!" Nick shuffled a deck of cards and began to deal them out.

Time passed and it was 11:57 and Nick stopped.

" What is it, Nick?" Bess asked.

" It's almost time!" Nick moved to her bed where she had a better view.

" Oh my gawd, Nick! This cock-a-bull story ain't true!" Jaime sat down beside her, eyes growing really wide, "O-Oh my!"

Nancy, Bess, and George stood up and saw what they were looking at.

"Oh my!" Nancy, Bess, and George said in unison.
