15 minutes later Annie called "dinner is ready".
We all walked into the dining room and sat down at the table.
"How was everyone's day" Eric said.
"It was good" Lucy said.
"Fine" Kevin said.
"I had fun" I said.
"I have a surprise for everyone" Annie said.
"A surprise" Sam and David said in unison.
"Yup Simon is coming next weekend" Annie replied.
"Do you think he's in more trouble" Ruthie said.
"No he sounded really happy" Annie said.
All of the sudden I felt really dizzy and thought I was going to faint.
"I'm going to the washroom" I said.
I got up from the table. Went up the stairs and walked into the washroom. I sat on the edge of the bathtub with my head between my knees. I looked in the medicine cabinet and found an aspirin. Some one knocked on the door.
"Come in" I said. Annie walked in.
"Are you ok Caroline" She asked.
"I have a headache and feel dizzy" I replied.
Annie placed her hand on my forehead and grabbed the thermometer from the cupboard.
"Your burning up your temperature is 101. I want you to go to bed ok" she told me.
"Okay" I replied. I went to the bedroom took out my pajamas put them on and as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.
The next day I woke up feeling refreshed. Annie was sitting on a chair beside my bed. I looked at Ruthie's bed and saw it was made.
"Where's Ruthie" I said.
"She slept on the couch in the garage apartment" Annie replied.
"I feel much better" I said.
"Are you going to go to church today" Annie asked me.
"I'm going to go take a shower now" I replied.
As soon as I walked in the shower and felt the hot water against my skin I felt even better.
20 minutes later
I walked out of the shower and went into the bedroom. Ruthie was in there picking out her clothes.
"Do you feel better" She asked me.
"Yes I do" I replied.
"I can't decide between the red shirt or the blue shirt" Ruthie said.
"I like the red shirt" I told her.
"Good choice" Ruthie replied.
She walked into the bathroom to change. I grabbed my Jean skirt and pink top and put them on. I took out my black heals out of the closet and put them on my feet. I went downstairs and everyone was finishing breakfast.
"Sorry there aren't any pancakes left" Annie said.
"Its ok. I'm not really hungry" I replied back.
Ruthie came downstairs.
"Can we go now" Sam said.
"Yes can we please go now" David said.
"Go wait in the car" Eric said. So Ruthie Sam, David, Martin and I went into Eric's van while Lucy, Kevin and savannah went into Kevin's car.
1 minute later Annie and Eric got in the car as well. Eric started the car and he started to drive.
"Are you giving the sermon or is Lucy" Sam said.
"Lucy is" Eric replied.
"Okay" David said.
5 minutes later we pulled into the church parking lot. Kevin and Lucy were already there. Eric and Lucy walked into the office while the rest of us went and sat down. The choir started to sing Amazing Grace. Everyone stood up and started to sing. A few minutes later when the song finished Lucy and Eric walked onto the stage. Eric stepped up to the podium.
"Welcome everyone. Today my daughter Lucy will be giving the sermon" Eric said.
Lucy walked to the podium.
"Hello everyone. My name is Lucy Camden. I want to talk today about a growing problem. All around the world Children are hungry. They are malnourished and very sick. There water is bad. Each day a child dies from hunger related causes. Usually the money in the collection box goes towards the church but this week it's going towards the world vision famine. The world vision famine is an organization that donates money to the affected countries around the world. Please help in any way you can." Lucy said.
When Lucy finished her sermon and went to where her dad was sitting and church was over everyone started walking out of the church. I walked outside and walked over to Ruthie. "I have an idea" I told her.
"What" she asked me.
"I think we should maybe do the world vision famine at school" I replied.
"How" Ruthie said.
"We can put a container for people to put money in at the front office and then when it's full we can send it to the affected countries" I told Ruthie.
"That's a good idea" Ruthie replied
"Lets go" Eric said.
"Okay" I said. Eric drove us to the dress shop on the promenade and we got out of the car. "I will pick you guys up in an hour" he said.
"See you then dad" Ruthie said. We walked in the store.
Ruthie held up a pink dress with hearts going down the side.
"Do you like this one" she said
"It's nice" I replied
"Go try it on" Annie said
I walked in the changing stall and tried it on. It fit perfectly and it looked really good on me. I walked back out.
"Annie can I have it" I asked Annie
"Sure" she replied she walked over to the stall Ruthie was changing in and knocked on the door.
"Ruthie are you almost done"
"Yes mom almost"
Ruthie walked out of the stall.
"Mom can I buy it"
"Sure" Annie replied. Annie walked over to the counter and paid.
We went outside to wait for Eric. A few minutes later he pulled up.
"Did you girls find dresses" Eric said
"Yes" Ruthie replied.
"I hope they weren't expensive" He replied.
"ERIC" Annie said.
"I know I was kidding" He said.
"Eric it's a very special event" Annie
"Not as special as prom" Ruthie said
"True" Annie said.
We pulled up at home and walked in the living room.
Lucy walked in from the kitchen
"I made the twins sandwiches for lunch. Is that ok" Lucy said.
"That's fine" Annie replied
I started to feel dizzy again. Then every thing went black.
