"I have no time, sorry!" she said coming downstairs. "I have to be on the airport in half an hour. I'm ready with my packages. Dad, would you take me to the airport?"
"I'll drive you!" Matt said just arriving ."Where are you going to fly?" he asked.
"To Europe, to Andrew Nayloss!" Lucy smiled happy.
"What?" Matt was shocked.
"Well, we have to go earlier, because I wanna talk to his father. He is the only one who can tell me, where I can find him." she added.
"Mom, Dad! You let her going to Europe? She is 17!"Matt said watching his parents.
"You were 17, when you traveled through the country without telling it anyone! At least I told them what I'm going to do!" Lucy said.
Simon came in, he was still lost after Deena's departure. His girlfriend and only-first-biggest love moved away for 3 weeks.
"Who is gonna move out?" he joked, but he wasn't that good in jokes in the last weeks.
"Me, but only for 6 weeks. I'm going to spend the summer with Andrew in Paris" Lucy said proud and excited.
"Congratulation! Send me an invitation for the marriage!" he said.
Ruthie came down followed by the twins.
"Bon Voyage!" Ruthie said knowing where she is going." But promise me not to marry him before you come home!"
"Bonbonage!" the twins said.
Lucy laughed and hugged her youngest brothers, then her sister, then Simon and then her parents. Eric wanted to say something, but he still couldn't grasp what happened.
"Seeya!" Lucy said following Matt to the car. Wilson and Mary were out for some videotapes for the afternoon.
"Where are you moving?" Wilson asked laughing about the packages in Matt's hand.
"Not me, Lucy is moving to Andrew Nayloss" Matt said and opened the door and lay the packages into the car.
"What?" Mary asked thinking he was joking.
"Ask Mom, and Dad!" Matt said.
Lucy just appeared in the door and smiled at the confused couple.
"Hello! See you!" she said and sat into the car.
"Where are you going, Lucy?" Mary asked.
"To Europe to Andrew!" she answered.
Mary was first shocked then she smiled.
"You are just kidding?" she asked but Lucy shook her head and hugged Mary. She hugged her back and stepped back from the car when Matt drove off.
"What was that?" Wilson asked.
"No idea! Let's ask Mom and Dad!" Mary said.
"You let her go?" Mary asked after hearing the whole story.
"Yes, why not? You can go too!" Annie said.
"But it's not the same" Mary said.
"I think I understand" Wilson said. "They think because they can trust you and me, they can trust Lucy and Andrew too."
"But Paris is far away!" Mary explained.
"L.A is far enough for you!" Eric said. "And for the parents heart. Do you think we don't have fear that something could happen to her? But she has grown up, and she knows how to behave, and she is clever and knows what is wrong and what is right!" he added.
"Lucy, are you sure about this thing?" Matt asked.
"How sure you were when you went to Philadelphia to Heather?" Lucy asked back.
"Quiet sure" Matt smiled. "But Europe.."
"I love Andrew as much as you loved Heather then, and I want to spend the summer with him" Lucy explained to her brother.
"Here is the Nayloss' house. Stop here, and wait here for me!" she said getting out of the car. "And wish me luck!" she grinned.
"Ms. Camden?" Andrew's father opened the door. "Andrew isn't at home, remember? He is in Paris!" he grinned.
"Hello, Mr. Nayloss! First of all I have to ask you to forgive me for my behavior last time. Well, for anytime we met or talked! I know you don't like me much, and you don't think we would have any similarities. But we have at least one. We both love Andrew" Lucy said and hopped it didn't sound stupid.
Mr. Nayloss made a face.
"I'm not sure about it!" he said. "I think you are just a crazy girl, who wants to have my son and drive him crazy."
"No, Mr. I just want to be with him. And if I seemed crazy that was only because I made a mistake and wasn't sure Andrew would forgive me. I didn't realize his and my own feelings. But I couldn't deny my love."
"Why did you come here?" Mr. Nayloss asked. "Do you want me to call Andrew back home? He likes Paris and I have to much money in this trip.."
"No, you don't have to call him back! I want to go to Paris!" she said excited but realized she would go crazy again. She took a deep breath. "I just wanted to ask you to tell me where I can find him! I want to make a surprise for him!"
"Your parents paid you the ticket to fly to him?"
"No, I paid it from my college savings, and I'll have to work next summer to earn it again, but this is the only way to prevent that we loose each other."
"I've heard you were out with several boys in the last weeks, why do you want exactly my son?"
"No, I just was out with friends. With boys too, but no dates! I really love your son, Mr. Nayloss, I would never betray him or leave him for another."
"Well, I'm not sure if I do the right thing, but he is in the Budapest Youth Hotel, near to the airport. And take only the red cabs, he said they are the cheapest. "Mr. Nayloss said.
"Thank you, Mr. Nayloss!" Lucy said and wanted to hug him, but she better stepped back. "You won't regret it, thank you again!" she said and ran back to the car, but heard Mr. Nayloss calling after her.
"I still regretted it!" he smiled.
Matt and Lucy arrived at the airport.
"I still believe you are crazy if you do that.." Matt smiled.
"But that's me!" Lucy said. "Say hello and hug me bro, that's all I want!"
"Take care of you..and Andrew, sis!" Matt hugged her.
"I will! I love you all!" Lucy said waving her hands and walking through the gate to her plane.
"Please take your seats and fasten your belts, we are landing in Paris in 20 minutes!" the stewardess said in the speaker and Lucy turned away from the window.
"I still can't believe I'm doing this!" she said about thousand times during the flight.
"But I do!" the man next to her said and added. "YOU ARE DOING THIS! Can we go on now! Or better you shout up and we can land!"
Lucy controlled her belt and thought 'I can't believe I'm doing this.
"Don't even think it! I can read your mind!" the man said but he smiled.
"I'm sorry!" Lucy smiled back.
