Well this is my next chapter... It's as well not that long but they get longer after this one...I had originally made this chapter longer but changed it last was the first chapter I wrote so it may sound a little funny and possibly confusing. I hope you enjoy and please review.

3 Days Earlier…

Invited

"Mom the mail is here," screams Belle Drake from downstairs. "And there is some weird letter in it."

"Let me see it," Ben Drake, Belle's twin, says as he snatches it from his sister's clutches. As he examines the letter closer, he notices something in the upper left corner. "It has a return address, but this address is from a mountain city in British Columbia." He continues to ponder the ideas of what the letter could contain. Was it a paycheck for a recent job his mom had completed or maybe it was a secret love letter from an ex-client?

"Let me see it!"

"No, get away I'm gonna open it."

"Is it addressed to you nimrod? No, it's addressed to Mom."

"Whatever," Ben retorts as he rips the top of the envelope open to reveal a piece of parchment with an invitation to Oliver Green's Mountain Villa. "It's for some party at a guy named Oliver Green's it's in the mountains, who is this guy anyway?" Maybe it was someone from her high school days; no, that couldn't be it his mom hadn't talked to people from her school in ages. So who was this guy?

"I have no idea. Maybe mom knows considering it's her invitation."

"But look here it says 'you can bring as many guests as you like'," Ben points this out on the parchment.

"Well then let's bring Alexie for sure and Kyle and maybe Tom, What about Tyler and Dom," Belle says excitedly not thinking that it might be rude to show up with all these guests. But of course it was a free vacation.

"Well I guess if mom is okay with it, and it will definitely make it more exciting." Once Ben and Belle confirmed their list of guests they wanted to invite they scream for their mother to come down stairs. Courtney Drake, a statuesque lawyer and mother to the twins, strides down the stairs like a supermodel and addresses her children. "What's all the yelling for?"

"This invitation came in the mail for us and our friends but we have never heard this name before and the address is from a city in B.C.," Belle states to her mother as if a witness in one of her cases. "Let me see it," Courtney requests. Ben hands over the letter. "Oh this is from my last client he had a 10 million dollar lawsuit against him for an article in his paper and I got him out of it. He seemed like a nice… honest guy." Courtney tries to convince herself at that moment it was ok for her to hide the true nature of the case from her children. She contemplates telling them the truth then continues talking, "This villa is in Canada… We would have to get our passports ready and pay for the flight out there. I would also have to make sure I have time off." As she was rambling she realized that her kids had mentioned. "And you said your friends were invited; how do you know this?" "Well we just assumed that because it says we can bring as many guests as we like we could bring some of our friends. If you have doubts that they'll behave, will it help if I tell you they were counselors at summer camp with us," Belle answers then smiles like the good child her mom has known her to be. Courtney looks at Belle and just couldn't say no. Besides it did say in the letter that they could bring anyone. "If they behave themselves they can go, if there is one slip up, just one; they will be on a flight home just as fast as I can dial the number of their parents. Go pack and Ben can you get the tickets, I have some last minute paper work I need to get done if we're going to this thing. We only have a few days to get ready; so start talking to your friends and I'll RSVP, contact my office, and set us up with transportation once Ben gets those ticket," Courtney continues to go over the game plan with her kids as they continue to prepare for their getaway to the villa.

Belle had done some research online about the villa and Oliver Green to find out more about the situation. The villa was gorgeous, or at least in the pictures she could find online. Oliver Green also seemed like a nice guy besides letting go of half of his staff when the recession hit. But really who could blame him. There was something about a court case but she didn't click it since her mom had told her about it. He is also married to one Gina Green; she is 13 years younger than him, making Belle think she was only in it for the money and the fancy living, but you never knew these days they could very well be in love. Belle shut down her computer and slid on her floor to get under her bed where she kept her suit case. Once retrieving her suit case she reaches on top of her bed for her cell phone. After flipping it open she inputs the number 512-956-3317, once she hits send a picture of a blonde girl winking pops onto her screen and the ringing begins. After a few moments a very enthusiastic voice picks up on the other line. "Hey Belle, what's going on," The girl says. "Oh nothing I just thought I would call and invite my bestie to a mountain villa out in Canada next week."

"Oh my God!" she says in shock. "What's the occasion?"

"Well my mom got invited to some ex-clients party and the invitation said we could bring anyone we wanted. So of course I thought of you. We're also inviting the kids from camp, you know Tyler and Dominic, Ben is inviting Kyle and Tom too. It should be a blast."

"What Kyle is going? Ooh La La .You guys going to finally take it to the next level or do me and your brother still not have the option to double date. Whatever I'll get all of my stuff ready like my passport and jazz, who has to pay for the flight out there?"

"Well right now we all have to pay for the flight but the invitation also said we would be reimbursed for our travel expenses."

"Oh cool ok well would your mom mind booking me for the same flight, you know since I'm like one of her children?"

"Oh no she won't mind; since she already had Ben book the flight for all of us!"

"Your mom is the coolest, well I have to go pack and tell the folks I'll talk to you later pretty lady," she says with an Elvis impersonation. "Ha ha all right, we'll talk later bye," Belle hangs up the phone. "Oh Alexie how you are so full of energy," Belle thinks to herself as she departs her room to talk to her brother. Once arriving at his door she knocks 3 times and waits. A moment later, Ben is standing in the doorway. "What Belle?"

"I just wanted to know if you called and emailed everyone."

"Yes…Yes I did. I emailed Dom and Tyler, and called Kyle and Tom. Tom and Kyle both said they were coming and they will meet us at the airport and Dom emailed me that he talked to Tyler and they are both going with us so it looks like it's a go."

"Awesome, this trip is going to be amazing."

Well there were no deaths this chapter but the next one will have at least one. I hope you enjoyed and again please review. It will help me a lot in the long chapter wasn't exactly my favorite to write cause I felt there was too much dialogue.
