Chapter 8

Roslyn woke the next day feeling much better and wondering what to do with her Sunday.

There's was a gentle knock on the door. "Lyn?" Said her cousin's voice from the otherside of the door.

"Come in Slate I'm all dressed

Slate came in looking worried, "I've been meaning to ask about Friday, Lyn. You said nothing was wrong but then you stayed home from school as if something was. What happened?"

"I can't tell you," She said.

Slate gave an exasperated sigh sitting down on her bed, "When did you turn into our parents?"

"Believe me when they say you don't want to know or your not old enough they have VERY good reason," She said.

"You had found out what it is?" Slate asked since it's the only explaination to why she'd change it like that, Roslyn's usually good at holding her ground.

"Yes I did and right now you don't want too," She said.

Slate sighed but then thought about it and nodded. "Alright, Lyn. I trust you."

"Really?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, our parents can be over protective at almost all times but I know for sure that unless it was something truly terrible, you would have told me." Slate explained.

"Thank you Slate," She said hugging him.

"You're welcome. Hopefully, the others will see i the same way." Slate said hugging her back.

"I hope they will," Roslyn said.

"Then, what do you want to do today?" Slate asked despite knowing her default answer.

"First food," Roslyn said.

"Alright, then lets find Uncle Adam." Slate said letting go of her and standing up.

"Why?" She asked.

"You requested food." Slate said simply.

"Does he have to make it?"

"Well, I guess not." Slate said with a shrug.

"Good so your making breakfast," She said

"Alright then, what do you want?" Slate asked.

"Pancakes!" She said excited.

"Lets go then, just din't touch anything." Slate warned heading to the kitchen. He heard about the water incident.

"Okay," She shrugged

They got to the nearest kitchen and Slate set to work.

Minutes later Pancakes were being stacked on a plate

"Thanks, Slate." Roslyn said watching.

"No problem," He said.

Roslyn grabbed her plate once it was set.

"Six pancakes?' He asked

Roslyn shrugged with a smile. "I'm me."

"Good point," He sighed

Roslyn smirked getting a fork and digging in.

Aaron, followed, by Eve walked in.

"Oh! Pancakes!" Eve said going up to her boyfriend and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah I don't know how I can cook," Slate shrugged.

"Your mom's a good chef." Eve reminded, "You probably got it from her."

"Oh yeah," He shrugged.

Eve grabbed a plate for herself.

"Roslyn you should go get everyone," Aaron said

"Alright." Roslyn said before blurring off knowing that it's because she's obviously by FAR the fastest.

She had everyone on their way in minutes

"They're coming." She said sitting back down to finish her pancake mountain.

"Why did she get the big ones?" Aaron asked

"Because, it's nearly impossible to say no to Roslyn." Adam said going up behind his daughter. "Especially when it comes to food."

Roslyn smiled through a mouthful of pancakes.

They grumbled slightly knowing that was way too true.

"See?" He asked

Roslyn swallowed what was in her mouth with a shrug. "If you got it, you got it."

"Plus you have cuteness," Isabella said.

"Which is included in it." Roslyn said shoving more food in her mouth.

"I know, but believe me that helps," Isabella said.

"And that's why she's my girl." Feliss said going over and ruffling her daughter's hair.

Roslyn just smiled proudly. Felicity grabbed a plate of cakes and sat down next to her daughter.

"Thanks mom," Roslyn said

"You're welcome, Honey. I tought you well."

"Yes you did," Roslyn said

"Unfortunately." Slate said in a family teasing way.

"Oh your weak to Eve more than me," Roslyn said

"I know, which is what REALLY sucks. I'm weak to two girls." Slate commented.

"True, but so am I," Adam shrugged

Felicity chuckled remembering that conversation they had when she was pregnant. "At least you saw it coming with Roslyn, I remember that conversation verbatim.

"I know right?" Adam chuckled

Roslyn swallowed the last bite of her mountain. "Is that something I even want to know?" She asked admittedly curious.

"Probably," Felicity smiled down at her.

"Then what is it?" Roslyn asked.

"Your father knew before you were born he would be weak against you," Felicity said.

"Oh, I guess that makes sense." Roslyn agreed.

"It was fun to hear him talk about you," She said

Roslyn chuckled, "I can imagine."

"It really was," Isabella said

"I was right though, she is an odd child." Adam said but obviously in a loving way, odd isn't exactly an insult in the Manor.

"Thank you daddy," She said smiling sweetly

Felicity smiled "You wouldn't be you otherwise."

"Yeah, I guess," Roslyn said

Felicity ruffled her daughter's hair. "And I wouldn't want you to be anything else."

"Thanks mom," She said

"I wouldn't either." Slate told her. "You're the best cousin a guy could ask for."

"And friend," Roslyn added

"That would be mean to them." Slate said motioning around him.

"It is true though," Alisha said

Roslyn smirked and got up to put her dish in the sink.

"Thanks guys," She said

"It's no problem, Ros." Alisha told her.

"Still thanks," She said blushing

"So, what are we going to do today?" Aaron asked generally.

"I have no idea," Roslyn shrugged

"Well, does anyone?" Slate asked.

"Wait weren't we going to Britain?" Aaron asked

"Oh! That's right!" Roslyn said excitedly. "To meet Emily."

"Oh yeah," Adam said finishing his plate.

"So, when are we going to leave?" Roslyn asked.

"Not sure give us adults a few hours okay?" Adam asked

All the kids nodded in agreement.

"Good now go relax," Adam said

Those who were finished, that being everyone but Hayden who's a slow eater, headed off their own ways.

"So, what time should we go?" Adam asked.

"Well, we have to remember that there's the eight hour time difference." Felicity reminded.

"Right so it's five in the afternoon there," Adam said.

"So, we should probably go soon." Felicity pointed out.

"Yes," Ferb agreed.

Hayden finally finished. "Then why not now?" He asked putting his plate in the the sink.

"Yeah we could take the plane," Adam said

"Works for me." Felicity said and the rest of the adults agreed.

"Okay everybody go pack," Adam said

Everyone went to pack with the exception of Adam who got the kids back first.

"Okay Everybody ready?" Adam asked

Everyone nodded.

"Good follow me," Adam said

They headed to the plane and got in. "I'm so excited." Roslyn said bouncing slightly.

"Roslyn calm down," Adam said

Roslyn stopped bouncing. "I'll try." She said slightly jittery.

"Why are you so excited?" Eve asked

"Because, I wanna meet Emily. She sounds really cool, I wonder if she ever got married or had any kids." Roslyn explained.

"I won't spoil the surprise then," Ferb said

"Of come on!" Slate said.

"Sorry, Slate," Ferb shrugged

"How come I always have to wait." Slate complained.

"Because," Adam said

Slate looked down and grumbled before noticing something. "Uncle Adam, why aren't you wearing shoes?"

"Oh,someone noticed," Adam said.

Slate turned slightly red. "Seriously though, why aren't you."

"I have not been for a couple days now," Adam said as Felicity and Roslyn noticed as well

"Yeah, I finally managed to talk him out of them." Felicity said with a smirk.

"Hey, I helped," Roslyn pouted.

"We make a good team." Felicity said to her daughter.

"Yes, yes we do," Roslyn said smiling.

"Now we just need to get the other." Felicity said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" Roslyn asked as their private plane started to take off.

"We need to get everyone elses shoes off." She clarified.

"No the others won't agree," Roslyn said glumly

"We could convince them." Felicity whispered to her.

"You have an idea?" Roslyn asked.

"Well… no." Felicity admitted.

"Drat," Roslyn said.

"We'll figure it out though." Felicity whispered semi-evily.

"Mom your scaring me," Roslyn said

"Oh sorry, sweety." Felicity said looking down.

"It's okay you just get really creepy sometimes," She said

"What's this 'sometimes' you speak of?" Adam asked in a teasing way.

"Oh, you get no fun time with me tonight for that," She whispered.

"You know I was just messing with you." Adam whispered.

"Well you should have though of that," Felicity said

Adam sighed, "Really?"

"Unless you can convince me otherwise," She said

"What about that then you obviously don't either." Adam reminded knowing she'd never cheat on him.

"I know, but I can live without for a few nights can you?" She asked

"A few?" Adam asked his eyes widened. "You said tonight."

"Oh I meant tonight and tomorrow," She shrugged

"Really?" Adam asked with a frown.

"Unless you can convince me otherwise," She said.

"Well, how am I suppose to do that?" Adam asked.

"Not my problem," Felicity smirking at him in a playful way.

"You can't be serious."

"Oh, but I am," She said sitting down.

Adam sighed, this was just ridiculous.

"You seem down," She said as he sat beside her

"Well, why do you think?" Adam asked defencively.

"Aw, this is really getting to you huh?" She asked sympathetically

Adam nodded.

"Well then be a good by and we'll see what happens," She said

"Ok." Adam said sounding like a little kid who was just yelled at.

Roslyn giggled

"What are you laughing at?" Felicity asked her daughter.

"Dad," She said simply.

"Oh, that's ok then." Felicity said getting him back.

"Aw come on," Adam huffed

Felicity smirked, this was really fun.

"Please?" Adam asked

Felicity shook her head.

Adam huffed
Yesterday 12:20PM

Felicity smirked wondering when this'll stop being so fun.

"This is evil," Adam muttered

"A little." Felicity said honestly.

"What is wrong?" Roslyn asked

"You don't want to know." Felicity told her since no child wants to hear about that from her parents.

"Oh okay," Roslyn said going back to her book.

Felicity let out a sigh of relief, that would have been REALLY awkward.

"You really just gave up?" Slate asked Roslyn

Roslyn shruged. "After last time, I should probably trust that saying."

"Okay..." Slate shrugged

"Wait what do you mean, Lynie?" Eve asked.

"Nothing, I just made a mistake," Roslyn said

"She found out what our parents are hiding from us. Apparently, we really don't want to know." Slate told his girlfriend.

"Wow! Well then I won't ask again," Eve said

"Neither will I." Alesha agreed nervously.

"Wow really?" Roslyn asked

Alesha nodded, "Our parents our great but can be a little over protective. If you think we shouldn't, too. Then, we really shouldn't."

"Thanks," Roslyn said

Katie looked over at Roslyn raising an eyebrow. "You know about that?"

Roslyn nodded sadly

"Oh, wow, I'm sorry to hear that." Katie said sympathetically.

"It was not pleasant," Roslyn said.

Aaron looked down not wanting to ask anymore either.

"Wow, I have influence who knew," Roslyn said out loud

All the kids and most of the adults rose their hands.

She blushed looking back down at her book

Felicity looked over at her daughter wondering how she couldn't even notice the way the other kids look up to her as the unofficial leader.

Adam chuckled

"She's a good unintended leader." Felicity whispered to her husband.

"I know, but she does not," Adam said.

"Make you wonder how she doesn't though." Felicity whispered.

"Yeah it does," Adam said shrugging

"It doesn't seem like she needs to know though, it might just stress her."

"It's stressing me so yeah," Adam said
"So, she's probably best exactly the way she is." Felicity said.

"Yeah, no stress," Adam said.

Felicity shrugged. "Not to mention that she's best the way she is in general."

"True," Adam said

"So... we really can't..." Adam trailed off.

"Maybe it your good," She said

"Then I will be." Adam promised.

"Then we'll see," She said.

"What are you reading anyways, Lyn?" Slate asked.

"The art of War," Roslyn said

"Oh, I don't think I've read that one yet. What's it about?" Slate asked.

"It's a book by a warlord," She said

"That sounds awesome." He said.

"It is a great military guide," She said.

Slate took a look at the page. "It certainly looks like it."

"You can read it when I'm done," She said

"I'd like that." Slate said noticing she was obviously getting close.

"Good give me a minute," She said

Slate nodded.

"Here you go!" She said exactly a minute later.

"Thanks!" He said taking the book and starting on it.

"No problem," She said pulling out another book.

A while later, the plane landed in Britain.

"Okay it's night here," Adam said

"I can see that." Roslyn said looking up at the sky. "Do we still have enough time, though?"

"Well if you all are willing to miss another day or two of school we can stay here," Isabella said as the parents nodded

The kids all agreed with the exception of Roslyn who seemed slightly hesitant all of the sudden.

"What's wrong?" Adam asked her quietly

Roslyn looked off over towards the states, over towards the Danville Private School for Exceptional Children. "I shouldn't miss him this much." She whispered. "So, why do I?"

"It's that boy huh?" Adam asked.

Roslyn nodded slowly still staring off.

"Well then, you and I can teleport back," Adam offered surprising her.

"But Daddy, don't you want to meet her?" Roslyn asked.

"Yes, but I want you to be happy more, so what do you want to do?" Adam asked holding up the teleporter

"Would we possibly be able to come back next weekend?" Roslyn asked. "Since we do have the teleporter it shouldn't be a terrible bother."

"Yeah you and I could," Adam said

Roslyn turned to him with a nod. "Then lets go home."

"Okay," Adam said going over and telling Felicity where they were going

Felicity was surprised but agreed obviously wanting her daughter to be happy as well.

"I'll see you in a few days I guess," Adam said before giving her a kiss.

"See you in a few days." She said once they broke.

"Okay, Roslyn hold tight," Adam said extending his arm to her. Roslyn took it.

He hit the telepoter it took longer than usual, but they came out in front of the manor which was now quiet and dark.

Roslyn looked up at the only thing she's ever known as home. "I'm sorry, Dad."

"It's alright," Adam sighed as they walked in and the lights came on.

"From here we still have plenty time left in the day though, want to go swimming?" Roslyn suggested kind of awkwardly.

"Well, why not we have nothing else to do," He shrugged

Roslyn smirked. "Wanna race there? No head starts. Fair and square."

"Sure," Adam said.

"Alright, pick a pool." She told him.

"Backyard pool!" Adam said

"Alright… ready… go!" Roslyn called and they both blurred off at the same time.

They arrived at the same time.

"I win!" They both declaired.

"No I win!" They said

"I clearly got here .87 milliseconds sooner." Roslyn argued.

"No, I got her .10 miliseconds before you," Adam said

"You so did not." She argued.

"I did so!"

"No, I won!"

"You lost," Adam said.

"Did not!" She said folding her arms in a pout.

"Yes you did," Adam said

"Prove it." Roslyn said simply.

"You prove it," Adam said

Roslyn went over and got the camera remote her mom had shown her.

"What's that?" Adam asked.

"What is that?" Adam asked

She pushed a button and a screen came out of the wall and replayed the end in super slow motion.

To her shock it was...

"A tie!" She said

"Ok, but where did that come from?" Adam asked having never known it was there.

"Mom installed it for races," She said

"When?" Adam asked clueless.

"After you both raced the first time," She said

"Ok then, how did I never notice this?" Adam asked feeling stupid.

"She never wanted you too," Roslyn smirked.

Adam made a note to talk to his wife about that. "Well, we're still here for a reason."

"Right," Roslyn said diving in.

Adam gave a small smile and dove in with her.
