BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. I slid my hand out from under the covers and hit my alarm clock. It was Saturday morning, who in their right mind would set my alarm, while I was asleep, on a Saturday? I flung the covers off my body and huffed. I hate Saturday's. I turned my head to the side and saw 7:02 glowing on my alarm clock. I groaned and pulled myself out of bed. I grabbed a comb from my desk and made my way down stairs doing my hair. I walked into the kitchen and tied my chocolate layers back and pushed the comb into one of the drawers in the kitchen unit.

My father was sitting at the table reading his news paper and drinking coffee, you don't want to know what he's like without his coffee in the morning's. Jessy, Niki, Kyle and Drake were eating cereal quietly and Charlie was on the phone, no doubt to his girlfriend, who none of us had met.

"Morning, Courtney." My mother smiled from the stove. She tipped a few streaks of bacon onto a plate and handed them to me. I took the plate and gave her a puzzled look. She never made me bacon, or anything of that sort. I was usually left to make myself toast or scrounge for a few flakes of cereal at the bottom of the box.

"Go sit down." My mother told me. I did as I was told and took a seat beside my dad.

"Morning, dad." I said. He gave me a grunt of 'good morning', and I started to happily chew on my bacon. The rest of my siblings came in and eyed my bacon up hungrily, I hugged my plate protectively and they backed off. I still found it weird that I had bacon for breakfast, I wasn't the one who cooked it.

Once everyone had finished their food and was about to leave the table my mother shouted out.

"Wait!" I froze in my position, half-way out of the chair, and turned to face my mother. She gave us all a look that said sit back down, and we did as the look told us.

"I want you all to start packing." She looked at Charlie. "I want you to help Drake." Then she looked at Shayne. "I want you to help Kyle."And the she turned to who else than me. "And you can help Robin." My mother shot us all a sweet smile. "go on then, go pack we leave tomorrow morning."

The race to get to our rooms was on. 12 pairs of footsteps echoed through out the large house. I was squished between my brothers and sisters, lucky for me why room was right down the end of the corridor. I tried to break through the barrier of bodies, but it was no use. They had a strong hold. I had to wait until they all had disburse to their own rooms.

I dived on my bed and Robin ran in after me.

"I'm going to do my packing first and then 'll come help you."She nodded her head making her hair fall over face. I wiped it away for her and she smiled at me, showing her picture perfect teeth. Robin an back out of my room and I pulled my suitcase down from on top of my wardrobe. It was a bit dusty so I gave it a brush over with my hands before sitting it down on my bed and throwing open my wardrobe doors. I looked at all the different clothes I had. There was so man to choose from. I decided I had better pack for all occasions and weather conditions because I didn't know what I would be facing when we got to the lake.

I folded a few multi-colored t-shirts and stacked them in the corner of my case. I then pulled out my two bikini's, one blue with white polka dots and the other purple with a few black stripes. They got tucked beside the t-shirts. I then moved on to pants. I took hold f all my shorts and pushed them into the case. I then put in a few pairs of long trousers, just in case. I smiled triumphantly as I squished it all in. I then moved onto my dresses. I had to pack some for evening wear and any parties we were to attend as a family. After they were added to the case I stuffed my necessities into the open spaces around the case. I just about managed to squeeze in a few different pairs of shoes and still zip it up.

I placed my suitcase under my bed, ready for the morning, and skipped down to Robin's room. She was easy to pack for. I just folded all of her cute, little pink dresses and placed them inside the case. I then added a few skirts and t-shirts, her swimming costume and all of her shoes. Her case did up easily and I took it back to my room and put with my own. I then pulled out my travel bag and started to add things into that. My iPod, PDA, things like that. I then put in Robin's coloring book and a few crayons for her to be occupied on the trip too. I placed it on my desk and went back downstairs to watch some TV.

Everyone else was still packing, so I had the TV to myself. It was a once in a life time thing to not have to fight for what I want to watch. I flicked on the music channel and listened to a few songs to clear my head of everything. I was rudely interrupted by my father who turned the TV off.

"What did you do that for?" I asked politely, even though it didn't sound that way when I said it.

"I need you to drive tomorrow." He replied.

"W-what?" He couldn't be serious. There was no was I could drive for that long.

"The van doesn't fit all of us in. You know that, Court." He was using a pleading tone that I rolled my eyes at.

"Why can't Charlie or mom drive?" I asked.

"Charlie's taking his car up too. Come on Court, for the family." I couldn't believe my eyes, he was giving me the puppy dog look. My father shouldn't even know how to do that, let alone use it on me.

"Fine!" I yelled.

"Good, so you can take Dani, Robin and Sam."

"Wait, why can't Dani drive?"

"She doesn't want to." I stared open mouthed at my father as he left the room. She didn't want to? I didn't want to!

I pulled a cushion up over my face and screamed. I had to put up with 3 of my sisters for 5 hours. It was going to be agony.
