We'll Vaughn, Chelsea, Pierre and Natalie make there first appearance in this chapter!! Its kinda a short chapter…but, hopefully you enjoy it!
Sorry if its lame D= !
I almost jumped off the jetty and swam the rest of the distance to the boat I was that excited, but I held myself back and sprinted up the ramp as soon as it touched the dock. My mother was obviously in the same frame of mind as me as she was at the ramp as soon as I reached the top. I practically glomped her. A few more seconds passed by and my father joined the hug, then my uncle then my aunt.
I could hear Pascal's booming laugh, and realised that our four person hug probably did look a bit ridiculous.
I broke away from my family, "I've missed you guys so much!!" I said, with tears of happiness in my eyes, looking around at my family.
I smiled from ear to ear, I hadn't seen them in so many months, I'd hung many photos on my wall of their earlier days and their days with me, so seeing them face to face again was really nice.
They were all forty years old, both couples only getting married at the tender age of eighteen, but when it's right it's right, and for my mum and dad, and uncle Pi and aunt Nat it was most defiantly right. All four of them had aged very well.
My mother had a permanent farmers tan, and long brown hair. Her eyes really defined her personality; they were bright blue and full of life, just like her. She was still as Hyper and energetic as she was when she was eighteen, well, at least that's what my father has told me. He was the polar opposite to my mother, quiet and sometimes a little cold, my mother had told me that dad had gotten much softer compared to when he was younger, and that fatherhood brought out a more affectionate side of him. He had naturally silver hair and deep intense violet eyes, sometimes I wondered how my mother and father actually begun to like each other…My mum was so hyper and outgoing, but my dad was reclusive and cold. Opposites attract I guess.
My uncle Pi and aunt Nat where the same, a strange couple, but it worked fabulously. According to my mother, Uncle Pi had grown a little taller over the years, he was still short, but was the same height and me, and wasn't quite as tall as aunt Nat. I couldn't imagine him being shorter then he actually was. He still had bright purple eyes, and incredibly blond hair, and was still a hyper-happy cook.
He and my mother were the best of friends. Before they got married, many people on the island used to expect my mother and my uncle Pi to actually settle down with each other, but through-out their whole friendship they always had eyes for someone else. In my uncle's case that someone was my aunt Nat. She had long pink hair, growing it out since becoming a mother, and was a somewhat quiet person, but when you got to know her she was very friendly. She always enjoyed a good joke, and loved to laugh.
I looked around the boat, "Jean didn't tag along?" I questioned.
Jean was my uncle and aunts eldest child, she was only a few months older then me, we were practically sisters.
"Not this time, She's looking after the farm while were away…She's thinking about taking over the farm when your father and I retire…" My mother smiled, I grinned, it was good news, I was happy that the farm would keep running.
"And what about Al? He didn't come either?" I asked. Al was my uncle and aunts second child, he had only recently turned eighteen.
"He didn't come either, he's preparing to leave for France in a few months, he got the cooking scholarship!" Uncle Pi said excitedly.
"That's fantastic!!" I exclaimed.
I didn't keep them on the dock any longer, we started to walk to my house, I took the opportunity to give them a quick tour of the island, leading them through the town and pointing out all the shops and houses. On the way the five of us talked endlessly, catching up on how sunny island is, how everyone is, am I enjoying running my own farm, had I made any friends…
Soon enough we had reached the entrance to my farm, I showed them around the place, and then too their room. For the rest of the evening, we sat around my kitchen table, talking, eating, laughing…just like we used to do on Sunny Island.
The next morning I awoke to the smell of pancakes. I jumped out of bed, dressed quickly, and ran to the kitchen, to see uncle Pi stacking a mountain of pancakes on a plate, while my aunt and father slowly ate away at them in a zombie like state, obviously still waking up.
"Morning!" I said cheerily, and gave each one of them a kiss on the cheek.
I took a seat next to dad and grabbed a plate quickly; I loved pancakes, especially uncle Pi's. He seemed to read my thankful expression,
"It was your dad's idea to cook pancakes this morning." He grinned.
"Aww, dad, your so sweat!" I said, giving him another kiss on the cheek.
He gave me a small smile in return,
"Just remember to chew your food." He winked.
I laughed, remembering to when I was little and literally tired to stuff about six pancakes into my mouth all at once.
Suddenly, there was a slight rumbling on the ground, almost like a tiny earthquake…
"ISMELLPANCAKES!!!!!" Came a very loud enthusiastic voice.
The next thing I knew, my mother was on my father's lap, practically inhaling the remainder of his pancakes.
"You've out down yourself Pi!!" My mother chimed.
"H-hey!" My father exclaimed, then he sighed, shook his head and smiled at me. "This is were you get your eating habits from." He said pointing at my mother.
"You snooze you lose Honey." She smiled kissing him on the cheek.
"I don't think he had time to do anything really, once again, hurricane Chelsea strikes!" Aunt Nat laughed.
Mum jumped off my fathers lap and grabbed some pancakes for herself, grabbing extra to replace the ones she took from dad, and then took a seat next to me.
"So what's on the agenda today Angie?" Uncle Pi said taking a seat at the breakfast table.
"W-w-ellup." I started;
"Finish your food baby." Dad said, slowly chewing his pancakes.
I swallowed loudly.
"First of all, my friend is coming around this afternoon; he is a very talented cook uncle Pi! And I was positive that you would want to meet him! He's even bringing some of his dishes around, so you can taste them! And also, well, I was wondering…would you cook us a special dinner tonight? I've invited a couple of my closest friends over for dinner." I grinned.
Mum slammed her knife and fork on the table, making us all jump.
"I finally get to met Luke and Luna!!" She said excitedly.
"Yes!" I beamed.
"Whoohoo!!!" She exclaimed throwing her arms up into the air.
"Darling, you have way too much energy in the morning." Dad said, shaking his head playfully.
"Also, Dad, I'm going to introduce you to my animals today, and mum I'm going to show you my crops! And Aunt Nat, I would really like your opinion on the way I've been handling my expenses; maybe you could give me some tips?"
"Sure thing love." Said Aunt Nat.
"Well, lets get started then! Come on Mum and Dad! Thanks for breakfast uncle Pi!" I grinned, and made my way to the door. Mum and Dad in toe.
So there you have it. Next chapter, Chase presents his dishes to Pierre, and Angela holds her dinner.
