Chapter 1: The Announcement
(A/N: Phil and Keely are in 11th grade, and Pim is in 9th)
It was an ordinary Friday in spring in Pickford, California. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and spring break was 1 week away. But neither Phil nor Keely had any plans to spend the two glorious weeks they would have off school.
Phil and Keely were on the couch watching an American Idol DVD that they recorded and talking about the upcoming boredom of spring break. "I can't believe that we actually have nothing to do," said Keely. Phil replied, "I'm sure we'll think of something- like last year when we had that yard sale to clean out your garage." Just then, Lloyd and Barb came in. "We've got some news for you"! Barb said excitedly to Phil and Keely. "Pim, get down here"! Barb called out. "We've got some news"!
"What is it"? Pim said as she sat down in a nearby chair. "I'm trying to watch GalactaGirl." "We got a big tax refund this year," said Lloyd. "So I thought that we'd use that money to take a trip to Florida when your school is on spring break." "And Keely," Barb began, "I've arranged it with your mom so that you can come with us." "Awesome! That'll be so much fun"! said Keely. "So much better than a yard sale"! said Phil. "I guess I could use a break from this town," said Pim. "Great"! said Lloyd. "I knew you guys would love it"! "So, are we flying"? asked Keely. "No way," said Lloyd. "I am not about to set foot on a 21st century airplane. We'll take the skyaks." "Great"! said Keely. "When are we leaving"? asked Phil. "A week from today," said Barb. "And we're going to have a great time"!
Barb and Lloyd went into the kitchen to put away the groceries they bought, Pim went back to watching GalactaGirl, and Phil and Keely continued watching American Idol. "This is going to be the best spring break ever"! Keely said to Phil. "Definitely!" replied Phil.
(A/N: This is my first fanfiction- please review! I'll try to update periodically throughout the week- seeing as next week is my spring break.)
