Chapter 2: Meet the Harpers
Ding Dong. Seth woke up to hear the doorbell ringing. He looked at the alarm clock. It read 6:00 and he left for the plane in 10 minutes.
"Seth! Shane is here."
" I'll be right down, mom!" He said jumping out of his bed putting a quick brush in his hair and grabbing his bags. He tried to run but the bags slowed him down. When he was almost to the bottom of the stairs He managed to get out the words.
"Al little help!"
"Oh sorry honey." Julie said running over to help him with Shane following behind her.
"Ok lets start taking these out to the car." Shane said carrying two of the bags.
"Wow I thought your sister packed a lot!" Julie said grunting on only carrying one bag.
"Hey I heard that!" Zoe yelled from her room.
Seth chuckled then his mom glared at him and he stopped.
"Sorry."
Once all the stuff was in the car Seth hugged his mom and got in the car.
"Remember to brush your teeth." Julie reminded him.
"I know mom."
"Ok. I love you Seth. Be careful Shane." Julie said to them both.
" We'll be fine Julie." He said as the drove off.
At the airport in Washington.
Shane and Seth walked off the plane and looked around to see if they could spot the president.
"Do think he's ditching us?"
"No, because there he is." Shane said pointing to a man next to a jet plane holding up a sign that read 'Lt. Shane Wolfe and Seth Plummer'.
"Another Plane?" Seth whined.
"Yes another plane. Now lets go!" Shane said dragging Seth with him.
"Ah! Lt. Wolfe, Mr. Plummer." He said shaking their hands.
"Mr. President, sir." Shane said after shaking his hand.
"President Harper it's a pleasure to meet you." Seth said after shaking his hand too.
"Why, It's a pleasure to meet you as well Mr. Plummer. Shall we head to the house. I will have your things shipped to the house." He said entering the jet.
"I don't think that the president will be happy to have duck roaming around the house!"
"Shut up and get on the plane."
At the White House
"So welcome to the white house!" The president said presenting the huge building.
"Wow. This is freaking huge." Seth said amazed. Shane slapped him on the arm.
"No need for that. Now here meet the Family. My wife, Diana…"
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Harper." Seth said shaking her hand.
"You as well Mr. Plummer, Mr. Wolfe."
"My son, Stephen…"
"Hi." He said shaking their hands.
"… And my daughter Sage… Umm where's Sage?"
"I'm right here, Dad." A girl about Seth's said as she was walking down the stairs. Sage had Bleached blonde hair with dirty blonde highlights and Fair skin. She was wearing a white hoodie with sleeves that went up to her elbow, A pink shirt underneath, Camouflage green kapris, and Pink ballet flats. She immediately caught the eye of Seth and Seth caught her eye. She was humming "16 going on 17" From the sound of music and Seth knew what it was.
"Its nice to meet you Seth, Lt. Wolfe." She said shaking their hands just like the others did.
"It's nice to meet you too Sage." Seth managed to get out while shaking her hand.
"Lt. Wolfe will be watching you while your mother and I are in Hawaii and Seth just came along for the fun." The president told Stephen and Sage.
"Dinner is in 20 minutes ma'am." A maid with a British accent said to the Mrs. Harper.
"All right, Thank you Anabelle." She replied
"Seth, Lt. Wolfe, Stephen and Sage will show you to your rooms. And be ready for Dinner in 20 minutes." Mr. Harper said to them.
"Lets go." Sage said anxiously waiting for Seth and Shane
"Go ahead." Shane said to Seth.
"Okay.
"Hey was that the sound of music that your humming earlier?" Seth asked trying not to sound stupid.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Sage asked surprisingly.
"I was in the play." Seth confessed. He was afraid that she would think of him as a geek or nerd or something like that.
"Could you help me practice for a play that I'm in? I'm playing Liesl."
"Sure. In a community play I played Rolf."
"Wow that's cool. Any other guy would think it's stupid to be in a play!"
"Well I don't."
"Well here's your room. And if you need anything I'm right across the hall." She said walking to her door.
"I'll see you at dinner." Seth said back.
"Okay." She replied, then shut her door.. Seth had found and interest in her. And Sage had found an interest in him.
