Arthur glared up at the sky. He was thirteen now soon to be fourteen. The first few years he had lots of emails from his friends. But soon they got down and rarely any arrived. As he turned thirteen he lost every contact with his friends. He of course sent many emails but not a single reply arrived. He walked round to the local park. He sat down on a bench depressed. "Looks like someone needs to cheer up!" A girl came. She looked very pretty and was very good at giving advice. "Hey Molly," Arthur said barely looking up. Molly smiled and placed herself next to Arthur. "What's up punk?" She asked patting Arthur's back. Arthur looked up and explained everything. "Hmm. Quite a story you got there. You know what Arthur. They must be missing you just as much. And somehow couldn't contact you." Molly said. Arthur looked up. "How can I be sure about that, huh, Molly?" Arthur asked. Molly thought hard and finally came to a conclusion. "Huh. Arthur, have you ever paid them a visit or had a video chat?" Molly asked. Arthur shook his head. "Then maybe they need a reminder..." Molly smiled and Arthur saw where it was going...
Arthur had thought of how to convince his parents. Then it hit him. Nobody can resist her. Not even his parents.
"You got that?" Arthur asked a girl who looked about nine-ten. "What's in it for me?" She asked. Arthur sighed. "You get to travel all around the world." The girl thought hard and finally agreed. Arthur smiled. They were ready. Step 1 into action.
"Mom! Dad! I want to go all around the world!". The parents looked around. "Uh huh. What do you think about this dessert honey?" The dad asked the mum. "Delicious,".
"No I'm serious! I WANT TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD!".
"But D.W we can't afford to travel around the world!". DW looked at Arthur. Just then Grandma walked in. "Guess what David! I won six tickets to six countries of any choice!" She exclaimed. "And guess what. I've decided to take all of you guys!". Arthur couldn't believe his luck. All he wished now was that this luck followed him throughout the journey...
