Scream In The Night
"We will be right there." Suzie told Wally.
"Good, because we are about to start eating." Wally said.
Once the girls made it down to the dining room, Alan was teaching Butch a bit more Japanese.
"Wau, An wa," Butch said in Japanese. "kimi ga utsukushiku mieru!"
Tom pulled out the chair that was in between his own & Alan's for Anne to sit in at the table.
"Butchi, arigatōgozaimashita." Anne replied in Japanese.
The Chans noticed that this was the very first time the Sundance Kids had ever used chopsticks.
Wally's chopsticks kept slipping out of his right hand, so Nancy had to assist him.
"There you go, Wally." Nancy said.
Three hours later, supper was over and two imperial servants were getting Anne ready for bed.
"Soko ni wa, Hime Hikari," the female servant said to Anne. "subete no okiniiri no akai shiruku pajama o no beddo no tame no fuku o kite, iku."
Anne then remembered that she shouldn't blow her cover.
"Totemo Sakurako, arigatōgozaimashita." Anne said to the female servant.
"Anata ga, Hime o mottomo kangei shite iru." Sakurako said to Anne.
"Boku wa, Hime o o furo asunoasa o kakimashou ka?" the male servant asked Anne.
"Īe arigatō, Takeru," Anne said to the male servant. "boku wa daijōbu naidarou."
"Hijō ni yoku, Hime." Takeru & Sakurako said to Anne in unison.
Sakurako & Takeru left the princess's bedroom as Anne climbed into bed.
Over in the bedroom the nine boys & two dogs shared, Henry was preparing to call Mr. Socrates while Alan, for a change, was a bit nervous.
"What's got you so twitchy, Alan?" Tom asked curiously.
"I'm just worried about Anne, that's all, Tom." Alan answered his younger brother.
"I can't believe that I'm saying this," Wally said to Alan. "but you need to stop worrying and be brave."
"But," Alan asked. "how can I be brave when my twin sister could be in danger?"
"Chill out, Alan," Butch said. "I think you need to relax."
"Yes," Stanley said. "why don't you try to get some sleep, Alan?"
"Okay, Stanley." Alan said.
The boys all decided to hit the hay.
Over in the bedroom the five girls shared, Merilee was busy brushing her hair while Suzie, for a change, was a bit nervous.
"What's got you so nervous, Suzie?" Nancy asked curiously.
"I'm just worried about Anne, that's all, Nancy." Suzie answered her younger sister.
"Like I keep telling Wally," Stephanie said to Suzie. "stop worrying and be brave."
"But," Suzie asked. "how can I be brave when my younger sister could be in danger?"
"Chill out, Suzie," Merilee said. "I think you need to relax."
"Yes," Mimi said. "why don't you try to get some sleep, Suzie?"
"Okay, Mimi." Suzie said.
The girls all decided to hit the hay.
At around midnight that night, a mysterious figure crept into the princess's bedroom and grabbed Anne who awoke with a jolt.
"What are you doing? Help!" Anne called out in a muffled voice.
A few moments later back in the boys' bedroom, James awoke to Anne's muffled screaming.
"Oh no," James shouted out. "Sheila!"
