"In the closet down the hall, Amelia!" Amelia ran down the hall quickly opening the closet door. Her mother walked up the stairs and over to her.
"It's on the shelf, behind the Christmas stuff." She leaned against the door frame, watching her daughter dig through the stuff in the closet.
"Amelia, why do you always wait until the last minute to pack for trips." Amelia grabbed her suitcase, sitting it on the floor in front of her.
"I do not always wait until the last minute to pack." Her mother smiled as she walked away.
"Just hurry up and finish packing. Emily called and said her mom would be dropping her off soon. Besides we want to leave as soon as we can. Traffic gets pretty heavy around the theater on the weekends." Amelia nodded, rolling the suitcase to her room.
"I won't be long. I have everything ready I just need to put everything in the suitcase."
Amelia looked back as she heard the front door opening.
"Mrs. James. I'm here."
"Just leave your suitcase by the door, Victoria." Vicky nodded as she moved it by the door. Dawn hopped up onto it. Crystal walked down the stairs towards her.
"It's so nice of your aunt to let you guys stay at her place the week of spring break." Vicky smiled.
"It's really nothing. She's been wanting us to stay up at her place for a while now." Crystal nodded.
"Remind me to thank her. Amelia's in her room, in case you're wondering." Crystal eyed Dawn a moment before looking back at Vicky.
"I'm gonna go help her finish packing then. Thanks again Mrs. James for taking us to see Twisted." Vicky started for the stairs, Dawn followed.
Crystal watched Dawn and as Vicky went up the stairs Dawn glanced back at Crystal.
Crystal sighed and walked into the kitchen.
"Victoria... there's something a little off about Amelia's mother." Dawn said, walking down the hall.
"What do you mean?" Vicky asked, picking her up.
"I'm not sure, but something just doesn't seem right."
"I'm sure it's nothing, but you imagination Dawn." Dawn sighed as they entered Amelia's room.
"Hey Vicky!" Amelia said, closing her suitcase.
"Oh hey, you're finished packing?" Vicky asked.
"Yep! In record time to! Now then, help me get this thing downstairs." Vicky nodded, sitting Dawn on the bed.
She approached th suitcase, grabbing it and when she pulled it off the bed, she dropped it.
"Holy crap, Amelia! What is in this thing?"
"There's not that much, but this is why I need your help." The then heard a knock at the door.
"Come on in, Emily. You don't need to knock." Crystal said. Amelia and Victoria carefully carried Amelia's suitcase down the stairs to greet Emily. The door slowly opened as she walked in, sitting her suitcase by Victoria's.
"Hello everyone!" she said, smiling. Victoria and Amelia slowly sat the suitcase down next to the others. Amelia quickly hugged Emily.
"I'm so glad you were able to convince your mother to let you stay with us!" Emily smiled.
"It' wasn't the easiest task, but eventually she caved and she's letting me join you." Crystal slowly walked over to the girls.
"I'd hate to cut this greeting short, but we really should get going." The girls nodded as they each grabbed their suitcases, taking them out to Crystal's car. Crystal had to of course help Amelia.
"Now then, let's get going. We don't want to miss the show." The girls cheered before getting in the car. They were off for the week they would never forget.
