Chapter 16: Arriving

Brittany woke up early on the day she was going to leave for the ski trip. It was still early morning and dark out, Brittany set on her bed for five minutes swinging her legs. Unfortunately she was to excited and couldn't sit still, after walking around the apartment for a few minutes she couldn't take it anymore and went to Sams bed. Sam looked very peaceful, Brittany jumped on the bed. "WAKE UP!"

Sams head shot up accidentally pushing Brittany off the bed. "Huh, what's going on?"

"I'm leaving today remember?" Brittany said getting off the floor and jumping back on the bed.

Sam looked over at her clock, 4:53 A.M. "Yes, but not for another four hours."

"I know but I'm to excited to sleep!"

"Well I'm not" Sam said rolling over and burying her head under her pillows. Brittany got up and pulled on Sams hand trying to get her moving.

"Come on!"

"Alright, alright. I'm up!" Sam shrugged off the covers and went to take a shower. When she got off she went in to her room and changed into warm clothes. The apartments heat had gone out during the night so it was very cold inside and Sam made them both a hot breakfast. Toast and oatmeal, which Brittany some how managed to eat three bowls of.

It was seven by the time they had cleaned the kitchen. Brittany went to make sure everything was packed, while she did that Sam sat on the sofa. Just as she sat down there was knock at the door, "Its open"

She had expected Danny to walk in and was surprised to see Matt. "Hey Sam, I just thought you should know I'm going to stop by around Noon to fix your heat."

"Oh Thanks Matt."

"No problem" He smiled at her and then left. A minute later there was another knock at her door.

"Come in" The door opened and Mat stepped back in.

"I forgot, today's the day Brittany leaves on her ski trip right?"

"Yea" Sam said not seeing where he was going.

"Ok, wish her a good time for me." He said before closing the door again.

Weird, wait did I ever mention Brittanys trip to him? When there was another knock on the door Sam was still lost in though, "Come in Matt"

"Matt?" Danny asked opening the door, "Why would your landlord be here so early in the morning?"

Sam blushed, "Oh um, the heats out and je just stopped by a few minutes ago to tell me he'd fix it this afternoon."

"Ok, so what are you guys doing up so early?"

"Brittany couldn't sleep any longer, she's to excited" As if on cue Brittany came out lugging a suitcase almost as big as she was. She sat it down next to her skis then ran over and hugged Danny.

"Hey, ready for the trip?" Danny asked returning the hug.

"Yup, when do we leave?"

Before Danny could answer his stomach gave a loud rumble, Sam smirked. "Right after Danny gets something to eat."

Then bending closer so only he could hear, "Don't need you passing out on me later, at least not from hunger."

"Eww" Brittany said scrunching up her face, "I didn't need to hear that."

Sam smiled apologetically, "Sorry, forgot you seem to have super hearing"

After getting Danny some breakfast they loaded Brittanys suitcase in to Sams car along with her skis and headed to the bus station. There were three large busses waiting to take the kids on the ski trip. Once Brittany and her things were on the bus Danny and Sam stood with the others to see their kids off.

"Your daughter is very cute" it took Danny a minute to realize that the person was talking to him.

"Oh um, she's not" He was cut off by Sam taking his hand and smiling at the elderly woman who had spoke. "Thank you"

Sam waited till the woman had moved away before turning back to Danny and sighing, "You can be so thick sometimes, if you keep telling people Brittanys not your daughter or sister then they will assume the worst and I'm pretty sure that's the last thing you need."

"Yea I guess your right" Danny was about to say something else when the busses started to pull away. He and Sam waved at Brittany and she stuck her head out the window to wave at them till they were out of site.

Sam and Danny returned to her apartment, they just hung out there for the rest of the day. It seemed strangely empty with out Brittany.

Meanwhile Brittany was dozing on the bus as it made its way along snowy mountain roads It was late afternoon when they finally arrived at the ski lodge. As the kids were getting off the bus several bellhops came out and took their bags to their rooms. Brittany waited while the chaperons handed out room keys, when her name was called she took her key card and walked to her room.

The room was fairly nice with two single beds and light colors. Sitting on the bed closest to the glass door that lead on to a small balcony was her bag. On the other bed a was black duffle bag with white strips, it reminded Brittany of Dannys costume.

Brittany unpacked her clothes, it was starting to get dark out and there wasn't any sign of her room mate. Her stomach gave a rumble and she headed down to the first floor to get dinner.

(A/N: Ok kind of short but at least its something, no complaints please I did have other things on my mind when I was writing it, next chapter all about Brittany)
