Charlotte's POV-

"Are they here?" Lilly asked, the door open slightly, revealing a dark apartment.

"I don't see them." I replied, "Amy?"

"My thermal scans indicate there's a 74% variable that there's a 61% chance he's not...That they're not here, guys." She said.

"That they're not here." Repeated Emily, "could've just said."

"Okay. Fall in, quietly." I said, making a motion to move.

We all crept in, except for Emily who tripped over her skateboard she left out.

"So, guys, if it wasn't already obvious with Mikey," Emily started, as we looked at her, she pointed to herself, "dibs."

I shushed her, "If Mother and Father catches us, they'll send us back to the Ekusutorīmuwākuauto."

"I ain't going back to the Ekusutorīmuwākuauto." Lilly grumbled.

I rolled my eyes, "Every time we're in the Ekusutorīmuwākuauto it's because of you."

"Well, sis, you won't have to worry about me
dragging you down anymore." She glared.

Confused I asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm going out on my own. First chance I get." She grumbled, putting her out-door shoes away and putting on her in-door shoes.

Emily gasped "How are we gonna finish our
hip-hop Christmas album, sis? You're the hype girl!"

"Shut up."

"Shut up."

"Shhh!"

"Shhh!"

"I got glop in my eye."

"Shh! She's not going anywhere. We all stick together." I said, glaring at her.

"Sorry I spit in your eye, dudette."

"Shh!" Lilly shushed, glaring.

A light was shon on us.

"Guys? Guys." Amy said, gaining our attention, "We got a bogey."

Well no duh!

We turned around and saw our parents.

"Uh..." I didn't know what to say... And I didn't have much time either, since Mother,  threw a ninja star at my leg, I moved it out of the way in time, but since I was caught off guard, I lost balance and fell forward.

"Where have you been?" Asked Father.

Lilly quickly started, "We weren't..."

Too bad she was standing on a rug and father was carrying what looks like a walking stick, as he twirled the rug up and swiped it from under her, which made her trip, fall backwards and then groan in pain.

"I forgot to soak my retainer!" Amy yelled and ran off, trying to escape. She was in reach of Fathers walking stick, so using the handle, he tripped her up and she fell on her stomach.

"I'm totally sleepwalking!" Emily said, sticking out her hands and closing her eyes, as she started to walk. "Look, Emily's sleeping and walking. She's totally innocent."

Mother rolled a skateboard under her, which she slipped on and fell on her back.

"Enough!" Mother shouted.

"You have been gone a day! What happened?" Father scolded, his voice, low.

We stayed silent, we didn't won't to blow it for each other or our new friends.

Father glared, "Very well. If that's how it's going to be,
to the Ekusutorīmuwākuauto!"
