Chapter 5: We'll miss you

Chapter 5: We'll miss you

The days goes by and April become closer and closer. The day before it's time to leave Anne, Conny, Martine, Janise and Katharina gather at Conny's house to plan what the three girls going to Utah should bring.

"Definitely clothes." Janise says and all the girls bursts out it laughter. Soon they're all on the floor, laughing until the y start to cry.

Anne sites up, still laughing and says in a supposed to be serious tone. "Who cares about clothes anyway? What is shops for if not to buy clothes in? Let's buy everything once we get there."

The girls has actually gotten their butts up from the floor, but with Anne's comment they fall back down immediately.

After hours of laughter and non-serious planning, Martine, Katharina and Anne goes home to do the actual packing whole Janise stays with Conny, before they go shopping. Like a little therapy because they're not going to Utah with the others.

Tomorrow comes and all the girls plus parents gather at the airport to say goodbye. They were asked to get to the set in Utah themselves so the fact that Anne had friends in Utah was very convenient. The plans had been made. Anne, Katharina and Martine would be picked up at the airport and brought safely to the hotel near the set. Martine's and Katharina's parents had of course had their doubts, but Anne's parents had assured them that the adults on the other "end" were totally reliable.

"Passengers to Utah may now go on board." A voice says.

"Bye!" The three girls hug their parents before turning to Conny and Janise.

"We'll miss you so much," Martine says as she hugs them tight.

"You have no idea," Janise replies as she hugs Katharina and then Anne.

"Call every day and we'll come visit in two weeks," Conny says and hugs the girls in front of her.

"It's time to let them go Conny," Martine's mom says as she's smiling at the girls. They nod and waves to each other as Martine, Katharina and Anne walks through the security and to their gate.

"Got everything we need Kathie?"

"Yupp, we're all set to attack Kenny as soon as we get there!" Kathie smiles ans you can almost see the stars in her eyes. "Operation get Conny and Janise here is ready to go superduperwell!"

Anne have to laugh, but Martine is so used to Kathie's comments that she only smiles.

"I'm so glad we met you that day in January Anne!" Martine talks to Anne and Katharina looks up as well.

"Yeah I know," she says. "If not we'd had to have our parents with us now. It's much more fin traveling alone, with friends!"

Anne smiles. "Yeah, I'm glad I met you too. I was so worried I wouldn't find any friends here."

It's Katharina's turn to laugh. "Well, you were pretty good to take contact with us!"

"Hmm, that's true!"

"Hey! Anne!" A girl waves at them and smiles as they walk out to the arrival area at the Utah airport. Anne waves back and gives the girl a hug when they're close enough.

"This," she says and points at Martine and Katharina. "is Martine and Katharina. Millie and Kathie, this is Christina."

The girls say hello and they walk to the car where Christina's dad is waiting. It's not a long drive, but the whole time Anne and Christina are talking and talking. Martine and Katharina is watching them with fascinating eyes when they realize that they are exactly the same when they're with Conny and Janise home in Florida.

The hotel room is so beautiful. It's huge with three single beds, a big flat screen, a laptop for free use, a mini bar with selection especially for them and a bathroom with both shower and bubble bath.

"I can't believe this is where we're gonna live for over a month." Katharina sighs of happiness.

"I know. It's crazy. I did not expect something this huge. And expensive," Martine says. "And for a moth."

Anne laughs as she thinks of something. "Home is gonna be so bad when we come back!"

All the girls laugh now. Then there's a knock on the door.

Kathie opens and there he stands. Kenny Ortega.

"Hello girls. You're the first to arrive. Actually you three are the only ones from Florida. That's why you've gotten suck a good hotel room. And we have a little surprise for you if you could come with me."

Martine, Anne and Katharina looks at each others, wondering what this is. But they doesn't say anything and they follow Kenny to another room.

And what a surprise. They all just stand there, not quite believing it's actually happening to them. Three normal girls from Florida. The room is silent until one of the boy in the room says hello.
