Jessie's POV
I sighed and flopped on the couch, turning on the TV. After Abygail, Bertram and the kids had left, I ran upstairs and got into my comfy PJ's and slippers. I was just chill-axing on the couch, when the elevator door dinged. I shot up from the couch and watched the door open. No one was there. When I ran over to the elevator, there was a box and a note taped to the top of the box, sitting on the elevator floor.
"Woah." I said.
I picked up the box carefully, making sure to hold it away from myself. Ever so carefully, I opened the box, looking away as I lifted the lid, afraid to see what might be inside. I gasped and picked the object out of the box.
"OMG. This can't be good." I said, pulling out Kenny the Koala's little hat.
I put the hat back in the box and put the lid back on it. Then I ran upstairs, and ran into Luke's room. I looked everywhere in Luke's room, but couldn't find Kenny.
"Oh no." I said, depressed. "Luke is gonna be so upset!"
I went back downstairs and collapsed on the couch. When I looked outside, I could see dark clouds quickly approaching the city. About 10 minutes later, it started pouring. I knew the kids, Abygail and Bertram would be back soon. A couple minutes later, the elevator doors opened and the laughing kids walked into the apartment with the soaking Bertram and Abygail behind.
"Woah!" I said jumping up and running over to them. "You guys are drenched!"
I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed some big, fluffy, dry towels for everyone. When I got downstairs and everyone was wrapped in a warm blanket, and sitting on the couch, I sat next to Luke and pulled the box out from behind the pillow.
"Luke," I said. "There's something you have to see." I opened the box.
"NO! Kenny!" Luke screamed, grabbed the tiny hat, held it close to his chest and started to cry.
"Who would do such a thing?" Abygail asked.
"Kids, why don't you get into your PJ's and play in your rooms before bed?" I said, not wanting the kids (especially Luke) to hear the story of Creepy Connie again.
After all the kids went upstairs and Bertram went to have a shower, I told Abygail about our experiences with Creepy Connie.
"Wow. She is creepy and crazy!" My sister says.
"Ya." I say, then adding, "We should probably start getting ourselves and the kids ready for bed now. It's starting to get really bad outside. Looks like a thunder storm is coming our way!"
"Definitely!" Abygail says as we start to head upstairs.
After we got into our PJ's Abygail and I played with the kids until 8 o'clock, then we put Zuri to bed. Shortly after we put Ravi to bed, then at 9 we put Emma and Luke to bed. A half hour later we got ourselves into bed.
'Uh.' I sighed as I laid in bed. 'What an exhausting day!' I thought to myself. Then I closed my eyes, the thought that the kids just might like Abygail better than me, still lingered in my mind as I drifted off to sleep.
