Suze's dad (who is a well-respected lawyer) is going to meet his a friend of his (mr.slater) and there family from the law firm in the pebble beach resort. The story starts with suze's thoughts on the plane.

I don't own the mediator or any of the characters you recognize , meg cabot does.

I sit thousands of feet above the sky twiddling my thumbs.

I dont really want to see the slaters again. Mr and Mrs Slater don't seem to like kids and the last time I saw their sons, Paul tried to behead my Barbie and Jack drooled all over my clothes (no he wasn't retarded, he was a baby).

The speaker interrupts my thoughts to announce that we have reached our destination.

I put my seat in an up-right position as the flight attendant instructed us to do and fume over the fact that I have to spend my vacation not with my friends, but with a bunch of people I hardly know in a place named after candy.

Dad noticed my expression and said while sighing "Suze, come on, it'll be fun! Pauls about your age now, you can hand out together!" "Whatever" I responded. The plane had touched down now. I picked up my luggage and walked yawning of the plane.

I squinted looking for a sign that said our names on it as Mr. slater had instructed over the phone. I spotted it and told my dad. We walked over and shook everbodys hands. Jack, Mr and Mrs slater Paul. Hold on, THATS paul? WHOAH!

He's HOT!

muhahahaha, you don't get a conversation with paul untill you review!
