It was a week before we would meet Happy Days! I am so excited!
"We don't believe you," said Stacey.
How dare they didn't believe? I want to make them to believe me.
"Why don't you prove it to us?" asked Kristy.
"Fine, I'll prove it later on," I replied.
I found out Logan won, too. He won first place and already had a plane ticket. I'll see if I can sit by him and make sure Mary Anne gets distracted. I don't get why he picks that wimp girl instead of me.
Logan showed up and said, "Marci, Kathi, Patti and Shannon won as well."
"You bet I did," said Shannon.
"Yup," added Marci.
"I'm excited," said Kaylee.
"Me, too," said Kayla.
"I can't wait for all four of you to come along," said Mary Anne.
"Me, too," said Logan.
"Cokie said she won, too," said Kristy.
Marci laughed at me. "How could you have? There are only four sets of winners if you count the grand prize."
"Why don't you believe me?" I asked.
"None of us do. I never heard of fifth place winners," said Marci.
"I think you're just jealous that you didn't win a thing," said Kristy.
"Yes, I did!" I exclaimed as I stormed out the lunchroom.
"I bet she lied to come along," whispered Kristy.
"I think so, too," said Marci.
"How is she going to get a plane ticket? They're very expensive," said Mary Anne.
"Good point," said Stacey.
Later, at home, I had an idea to get a plane ticket to join them. While my mom was on the phone, I sneaked into her purse to get some money out. I counted it and it was enough to get a plane ticket. I went to my room and went to the computer and put in the order for the plane ticket and the trip is next week. I noticed I needed a credit card.
"Time for Plan B," I said to myself.
I went back out and sneaked to put the money back to get Mom's credit card while she was still on the phone while I went back to my room and filled in the billing area and used my name. It went through. I bet Mom will never find out I would go to the trip.
Two days later, the mail came in and plane tickets arrived. All right! Milwaukee, WI and Happy Days, here I come! Mom still doesn't know. I'll sneak out of the house to get to the airport so Mom won't find out I used her credit card to order the plane ticket.
The next day, I came to the girls and said, "Ha, ha. I told you that I won!"
"Yeah, sure you did," said Kristy.
"I heard you used your mom's credit card," said Claudia.
"No, I didn't," I said.
The girls looked at each other.
"Yes, you did," said Mary Anne
"How did you find out?" I asked.
"I'm not stupid. I heard you mentioned it to your friends earlier," said Mary Anne. "If your mom finds out what you did, you'd be in deep trouble."
My mom happens to be her dad's client, that's how they know each other.
"Don't you dare say anything!" I exclaimed.
"Watch me," said Mary Anne.
"And if she did, what are you going to do, beat my best friend up? Don't think so," said Kristy.
"Exactly," said Kayla.
They know how to tick me off.
A week later, it was a few days before the trip!
"I'll be away for a business trip for the week starting on Friday, so are you going to be okay on your own until I come back home?" asked my mom.
"Yes," I answered.
"Good, I'll be leaving Friday morning," said Mom,
Yikes! That was when I'd be leaving to meet Happy Days. Oh, wait, I'm glad to hear that. Yay!
"I'll be driving since it's only in Rhode Island and be back on Sunday," said Mom.
"Okay, great," I said.
The next day, I learned the plane for Mary Anne and friends is on Friday afternoon, at five. Good, my plane is at that time, too. On Friday morning, when Mom left for her business trip, I packed my suitcase and was all set for the trip. She won't find out about the trip.
Then, later on, we were at the airport checking in and wait for the plane. Every time I try to get a spot next to Logan, Mary Anne wouldn't let me.
"Back off. If you take a step closer to my boyfriend, I'll make sure I'll tell my dad about what you did," said Mary Anne.
"Exactly," said Kaylee.
"Good idea," said Kayla.
When the plane arrived, we went inside after everyone came out. Logan ended up sitting with Mary Anne and Kayla! Not fair!
"I want to sit with Logan!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry, Mary Anne has him first, so you lose," said Kristy. "And, don't yell. The crew can easily throw you out."
Then, Kristy and Kaylee sat behind Mary Anne.
I stomped off to go sit with these huge nasty men that were over 200 pounds and while we were in the air, they squashed me! Wait until I get my hands on Kristy! A few hours later, we were in Milwaukee, WI. Finally!
"If you ever tell your dad, I'll beat you up," I told Mary Anne.
"You'll be sorry if you did," said Kristy.
"Whatever," said Mary Anne as she went out with Logan and Kayla. "I'm done trying with you."
We took a limo to the hotel and it was huge. Worst part was that Mary Anne was assigned with Logan, Kayla, and Kaylee! What! And, I got assigned with Marci, Kristy, Stacey, and Claudia. Shannon had Kathi and Patti. Why can't I be with Logan? That is not fair!
The next day, we get to have breakfast with the Happy Days characters, Fonzie, Howard, Potsie, Ralph, Richie, Al, Joanie, Chachi, and Marion.
"This is amazing," I said.
"Yes, indeed, but there is a problem, though," said Fonzie.
I knew this was coming.
"You're not on our winner's list," added Howard.
"There must be some mistake!" I exclaimed.
"We are very serious," said Potsie.
"So, we must send you home," continued Al.
"We knew that you lied all this time," said Kristy.
"Yeah," agreed Stacey.
"We're not stupid enough to know," said Mary Anne.
"I want to stay here and that's final," I said.
"We could call the guard to make you get back home," said Ralph.
"Excuse me while I'll go make a call on my cell," said Mary Anne as she grabbed her cell and headed out.
I knew she was talking to her dad.
Back at home, I was already at the house. I came back from my room after I unpacked when I noticed Mom, who was already home early, waiting for me in the living room.
"Where have you been?" asked Mom. "I tried calling you here."
"I probably didn't hear the phone," I said.
"Oh, really? Mr. Spier called me to tell you were in Milwaukee, WI to meet the Happy Days characters," said Mom.
"No," I said.
"Yes, he doesn't lie. He also told me the girls heard that you used my credit card to buy a plane ticket when they knew you didn't win that contest. The character were right to send you back here. Furthermore, you are grounded for a month," said Mom.
"But...," I started.
"No, buts," said Mom. "Don't you ever use my credit card again without my permission. Plus, I'll never let you stay home alone again until you can stop lying. Go to your room."
"Whatever." I stormed off to my room.
