THIS IS ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE GIRLS LEFT.

WALLY: 11 (REMEMBER, HIS BIRTHDAY WAS IN DECEMBER. HE'S BETH'S AGE UNTIL HER BIRTHDAY.)

CAROLINE: 10

PETER: 8

ENJOY!

Before the 1st chapter:

EDDIE'S POV

"Girls. Come into the kitchen please. We need to talk to you." My mother called.

Beth, Caroline, and I glanced at each other. What did we do this time? We haven't pranked anyone. Lately.

My sisters and I slowly walked into the kitchen and each sat down on the table.

"Girls we have a surprise for you." My mom began. "A good one or bad one?" Beth asked.

"Both. We are spending New Year's somewhere else- Hawaii!" my mom said.

"Awesome!" Caroline said. "What's the bad part?"

My parents glanced at each other. "We are spending it with someone else," Dad said. My sisters' ad I glanced at each other again. "Who?" I asked. My dad grinned. "Wait and see." He said.

Jake POV

"Hawaii? For New Years? Cool!" my 8 year old brother; Peter was jumping up and down. Wally, my twin, Josh, and I were staring at him. "What's the other surprise?" I asked. My dad looked at me.

"We are spending it with other people. Not our usual family." My mom said. "Who? Wally and peter's real parents?" I asked.

"Jake!"

"Sorry mom. Just kidding." I said. "You're not any normal either," Wally said. Josh and Peter grinned.

"Wally!"

"Also kidding mom. Sorry." He said.

"Seriously now. Who is it?" Josh asked.

"Wait and see," my mom replied.

CHAPTER 1: Airplane trip

Caroline POV

"Do we really have to drive 5 hours to a different airport?" I asked. It was five in the morning, and our flight leaves at 11:15. I was NOT a morning person. I was sitting in the back of my dad's van, with Beth on my right and Eddie on my left.

"Yes Caroline. We do. It's the only plane that leaves as soon as possible. Plus, traffic isn't very bad at this time," Dad said. I wrapped my blanket around me. We were leaving cold and snow, but heading towards sun and beach. Yay.

But right now, we were still driving through snow. Beth was leaning back on her seat and looking out the window. Eddie was also scowling at my dad- she isn't a morning person either.

"Here. Drink this. It should warm you," my mom said and handed me a tall blue water bottle. Eddie eyed it. "What is it?" she asked.

"Hot chocolate. Your father made it," my mother replied. Eddie took a sip and made a face. "I can tell," She muttered to me and Beth. Beth grinned. "Don't worry. I have back up." And pulled out another bottle. I took a sip. It was warm, creamy, and delicious. I grinned. Eddie took a sip of Beth's hot chocolate. "Better. Much better."

I took out my iPod and headphones. Beth pulled out a book, and Eddie took out her headphones and iPhone. After about 30 inutes or so, Beth and our mom were asleep, and Eddie and I were chewing on a couple of Beth's cookies.

An hour later, My mom and Beth woke up. Mom gave us breakfast burritos for breakfast with more of Dad's hot coco, which we hid and snuck more of Beth's. After I finished my food, I dozed off.

When I woke up, we had about 2 hours left on the road. Beth handed us some more off her treats she had made. My dad slowed down and turned to a gas station. My sisters and I looked at each other, hid the treats under our blankets, and stuffed the lasts of our cookies into our mouths. By the time my dad parked the car, I had swallowed my cookie, but Eddie and Beth hadn't.

"Girls, you can stretch you're legs for a few minutes," Mom said. Beth nodded, I said "Kay!" and Eddie gave her the thumbs up.

"Hey Dad. We're heading inside real quick," I said. He handed Eddie a 10 dollar bill and told her to buy us all something. She nodded, and we ran inside the store.

The store had a small glass counter, and shelves full of different snacks and souvenirs. My sisters quickly finished chewing and swallowed the cookies in their mouths. Then we each bought a bag of chips nd Gatorade, including a couple for our mom and dad.

When we headed back into the car, we handed our parents the snacks, and we sat down again. Then we drove back out onto the road, but this time my mom was driving, and my dad was snoring on the passenger seat.

2 hours later…

We FINALLY arrived to the airport. We grabbed our luggage and stuff and headed inside. We waited and did all ofthat airport stuff (A/N: I've only flown in a plane once- it was 2 years ago. Please forgive me. I'm more of a road trip person, mainly because you get to see a lot more than clouds.)

Anyway, we sat down on this space full of chairs and other people. While waiting, Eddie and I went into a small gift shop, while beth went with our mom to a small coffee shop. Eddie and I looked around the small store. When we were done, we decided to head back to our parents and Beth, so we walked towards the shop's entrance. I saw two boys enter the small store. It wasn't long before I recognized them. I grabbed Eddie's arm and dove behind a random shelf.

"Caroline! What the hell?" she snapped.

"Shhhh!" I shushed her. "Look who's here!" I said pointing to the two guys. She looked and did a double take. "Wally and Jake Hatford. What are they doing here?" she asked.

I shrugged. "How am I supposed to know?"

"We have two options: try to sneak out, or walk up there and say hi" Eddie said. "Honestly, I vote for 'Sneak out." she added.

"That makes two of us," I replied. Eddie handed me her blue baseball hat. I slipped it on hiding my hair, and she pulled on her hood. I was thankful that I was wearing my brown jacket instead of my pink one, and that Eddie wore a simple red one. We walked between shelves and displays. We didn't want to take our chances. We were about to exit when they suddenly brushed past us. Eddie and I looked at each other. That was easy. "Lets follow them," Eddie said. I grinned. Finally. Some good old fun. We haven't had that in a year.

We followed the hatfords at a distance. We entered a few more stores, before they headed in the oppiste direction. We followed them right up to… the same lobby our parents were waiting in. Eddie and I looked at each other in horror. We forgot about the boys and ran to our mom and dad and Beth. "The Hatfords are here!" I said as I sat down. My parents looked at us, looking guilty. Eddie saw the guilt as well. "You knew!" she said.

I handed Eddie her baseball cap, and shook my dark hair out. My parents nodded. "That's who we're spending New Years with?!" Beth asked. My parents nodded again. "Great… actually, I look forward to one thing." Eddie said. "What?" Beth asked. "The guys' reactions to this," I finished for Eddie. Beth, Eddie, and I looked at each other and cracked up.

So. Like it? Review please. I know it's random, but if you have read my profile, then you should know that I can be really random. I may not finish this Fanfic tomarrow, since I'm making it an entire week with the hatfords. They'll celebrate new years together, and spend the rest of their winter breaks with them as well. At the moment, I still have the flu (More like the plague, if you ask me.). I hope everyone has a happy New Year! Hope everyone keeps their resolutions!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Love, and Peace, Bacon, and Cheese (My favorite foods)-
