Chapter 2 -First impressions
This was it. We were going to take our first steps inside Kellermans. We had been talking about nothing else for weeks. We expected everything like it was in the 60s handsome waiters and porters, gorgeous waitresses and an amazingly modern interior design. Andy reached out his hand and opened the door. As we looked inside we could only stand there in shock. NOTHING had changed the porters were not young and not handsome, they were still wearing the same clothes as in the 60s and the waitresses weren't much better and the interior hadn't changed in the slightest. "Place still looks good huh Bill?" My dad was now behind us. "WHAT?! You think this place looks good it's a reject from the sixties! It wouldn't even look good then!" Jack could hold it in no longer. "Come on Jack its not that bad" I said it but I didn't believe it. "My mom's gonna freak when she sees this" Lisa had fulfilled her dream of becoming a decorator and ran a very successful business. "Come on Andy. Your mom wont be that bad" Billy finally got a word in. But Andy was right. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" Lisa had faked fainted. "You know the place is like this for a reason"
A voice came from behind us I recognised it instantly Claire, Penny's daughter, was standing behind us and so was Penny. "OK Claire enlighten us what is the reason that you've turned Kellermans into a place I wouldn't send my dog on holiday? Huh?" Andy was now clearly on the side of Jack and his mother. "A themed summer" was Claire's answer. I couldn't hold it in any longer "A themed summer? What kind of theme?" Penny who had been standing quietly listening to all of us looked at my Mom and Dad and simply said "60s" Every thing now made sense to me and everyone else. Every one except my parents and Billy who had smug looks on their faces. "You knew didn't you" I asked my parents
"Yep" said my dad "But that's not all the summer is being ended by a huge party at the end of the summer when everyone who was her in the sixties is coming back" Andy and Jack looked as if they had come round to the idea now. "OK are we gonna stand here talkin' all day or are we gonna have some fun?" "Can we play tennis?" asked Sammy and Sarah who were now looking very bored. "You don't know how to play tennis" "No, Andy, no we don't but you do! Come on!" Andy turned to Jack and I "looks like we're playin' tennis then doesn't it!"
