A Letter From Charlie Part 2

"So, Big Bro, what does the letter say?" Mamoru asked.

Wataru cleared his throat and began to read the letter to his sisters.

Wataru: Dear Minakami family,

We, Rosa, my children, Chu Chu, and I invite you to our mansion for your spring vacation.

Henry will be glad to see Marie again.

And you can even bring Michael with you.

We will see you when you get here.

Charlie Chan.

"Oh wow, Bro Bro," Hinako exclaimed. "we're really going to California!"

"Yes we are, Hina," Wataru said. "so you girls had better be getting yourselves packed!"

Wataru and the girls went upstairs to pack whatever belongings they were to take with them.

The next morning at the Chan residence, most of the Chan children were ready to eat breakfast.

"Does anybody know where Henry is?" Suzie asked curiously.

"I think he's still in bed." Alan answered Suzie.

"I'll go wake him up, Suzie." Anne volunteered.

"Oh no you won't, Anne," Stanley said sternly. "I'll go wake him up."

Anne hung her head low, "Okay, Stanley, you win." she sighed.

Stanley raced up the stairs to Henry's bedroom.

Once inside his older brother's bedroom, Stanley began shaking Henry's shoulders.

"Hey, Number One Brother," Stanley chided. "wake up! Your breakfast is getting cold!"

Henry shifted onto his left hand side, the side that was farthest away from Stanley, "Five more minutes." he groaned sleepily.
