Love and Betrayal
- By K. M. Chambers
Chapter 9 - Off to England
It was about 2am in the sunny state of Florida. The night was silent; Kirsty slept in her bed peacefully.
Suddenly, her phone began to ring.
Kirsty opened one eye to see where the noise was coming from. She ignored it and tried to get back to sleep.
The phone rang louder, suddenly Kirsty thought how the noise could wake up Pan and her two 7 year old children. So she switched on her bedside lamp and answered the phone.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Aunty Kirsty!" a young female voice came from the over end of the phone.
"Katie? Do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah, it's 7 o'clock in the morning."
"No darling, you forgot about the five hour time difference, it's about midnight over here."
"Oh, sorry," she said in her childish voice.
"That's okay love. Listen, I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay aunty, good night."

Back over in Japan
A seven-year-old girl awoke from her bed. She had long lavender hair and bright blue eyes.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. One of the butlers walked in.
"Miss. Briefs, your father wishes to have a word with you," he said to the child.
"Okay, but for the hundredth time, call me Nikki!" she replied. Trunks walked into Nikki's bedroom as the butler walked out. "Hi daddy."
"Hi darling," he said to her. "Sleep okay?"
"Yes, I did. But what did you want you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh yeah, how do you fancy going to England for our vacation. I've got a little bit of business to do over there, but after that we can relax."
"Wow, that sounds like fun dad!"
"But we have to bring Marron along."
"Why?"
"Because I asked her to come."
"But dad, you know how much I don't like her!"
"That's only because you think she doesn't like you."
"Well she doesn't!"
"Look, at least try to get along, please, for me."
"Alright dad, for you."

Meanwhile, two men hid behind a bush outside Trunk's home.
"Okay, so you know the plan," one of the men said.
"Yeah but I didn't even know that he had a daughter," the second man said.
"Well, she's not really his daughter."
"Huh?"
"She's adopted. You see, about seven years ago Mr. Briefs married an English girl named Emma. However she couldn't have children of her own, so they decided to adopt. But a few weeks after they got the little brat, Emma died in a car accident, which then left Mr. Briefs a single parent. And if something were to happen to her…"
"…He'll pay millions to get her back."
"Exactly, but unfortunately it looks like their going on a little trip, so our plan will have to go on hold."
Both men started laughing evilly and walked away from the house.

Meanwhile, back in the U.S.A.
It was about 10 o'clock on a Saturday morning. Kirsty woke up and headed towards the kitchen.
Pan and her two kids called Govan and Kimi.
Kimi had short black hair with some lavender highlights at the front of her hair, and she had bright blue eyes.
Govan looked different from his sister. They're where only some simulates between them, like their blue eyes. Govan had black hair, which was sticking up in spikes pointing over to his right side.
Pan looked up from her newspaper she was reading as Kirsty entered the kitchen, while the kids ate there breakfast.
"Morning Kirsty," Pan said.
"Good morning Pan," she replied.
"Did you sleep okay?"
"Oh, I slept fine until I got woken up by a phone call at about midnight!
"So that's what that was."
"Did it wake you?"
"I woke up for a few seconds, but then I fell back to sleep."
"Wait a sec, how come I didn't hear it?" Govan said.
"'Cause you can sleep though anything," Kimi responded.
Everyone (accept Govan) starting laughing, until they saw the annoyed look on Govan's face, and went back to their conversation.
"So…who was it that phoned you up in the middle of the night then?" Pan asked.
"Katie, my niece. She lives in England," Kirsty replied.
"What did she want?"
"I don't know, I said I would call her back." Kirsty looked up at the kitchen clock. "Come to think of it, I'd better call her now. Lets see…if it's 10 o'clock over here, then it must be…" Kirsty took a moment to figure out the time back in her home country. "…about 3 o'clock in the afternoon."
Kirsty out of the kitchen, went back into her bedroom, picked up her phone and called back her niece.
A few minutes later, she came back into the kitchen.
"Well? What did she want?" Pan asked.
"She just wants me to go back to England to visit," Kirsty replied. "Although, that doesn't seem like a bad idea."
"So are you going then? 'Cause if you are we'll miss you."
"I probably will go, I haven't seen my friends and family in ages. But why don't you lot come with me?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, it'll be fun!"
"Come on mum! Lets go!" Govan and Kimi both said.
"Okay, we'll come along."

One week later…
After a long plane journey, Kirsty, Pan, and the kids finally landed in England at London Gatwick airport.
As they stepped of the plane, Kirsty turned to them.
"Welcome to England!"
