Heyya! I'm back with more....not gonna waste much more time of yours, so get to reading!

Ethan

I woke up to the sound of honking trucks. I groggily looked out of the window to see two pickup trucks. The events of last night rush back. I get dressed and see dad taking huge boxes and loading them into the truck. I might as well get to help then. 

"From where we are, we need to travel by airplane to get to the city and then travel by car all the way to the place we gotta go to" Scarlet talks over the hubbub as she butters her toast.

"I hate car journeys" I mumble, taking a bite out of my muffin.

"I know, but the local buses only get to localities there. We'll have to book at least 4 to 5 buses to get to there, not to mention the amount of time we'll be wasting by doing that"

"Ugh."

I cannot even express how exhausted I am already, and I've only just been thinking about car rides. As we take a cab to the airport, mum is unnecessarily worrying about whether we have remembered to take everything or not. 

"Irida, we've only just forgotten your wits there!" Dad interjects while she's still at it, causing a burst of laughter from Scarlet and me.

"That was a good one" Scarlet giggles, as mum slumps back down in her seat. We don't hear a peep from her until we reach the airport. 

As we load all the luggage onto the trolleys, Dad goes and gets us all subways because it's almost 8pm. We still gotta go through the darn security check, and wait for round 30 mins for the flight. Also, planes do get delayed, so yes, inconvenience caused. 

The luggage has gone through scanning and there were no, I repeat, no guns, explosives, butcher knives, scary chemicals, or any rifles of any kind. So the security guard can stop looking at us like we're a family of terrorists or robbers, coz he is seriously creeping me out right now. I don't know what he sees in the bags that makes him look like we're the family from the minions movie, who look pretty nice, but then go an rob a bank. Like, dude, chill, that's not us.

Apparently, me and dad are stalled for some time now. The hand luggage went through checking and we went into the gender-based personal security checkup areas. Me and dad came out clean, dunno what's up with mum and Scarlet. They've been in there, for, like 15 mins already, still counting.

Eventually they're out, and when we asked them what the problem was they said that the lady found 300ml of Vaseline in their hand luggage and not more than 100ml was allowed. So instead of chucking it in the bin they had divided it into three spare bottles. The security lady could just let them go. While she was explaining this, the speakers above us boomed - 

'ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS, PASSANGERS BOARDING FLIGHT A30 BOUND FOR THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE PROCEED TO GATE 2 FOR BOARDING IN THE NEXT 5 MINUTES. THANK YOU.'

"Ugh. The plane is soooo stuffy. Smells like rotten leather" Scarlet says. I voice my opinion on how I wholeheartedly agree.

"You can't be serious. You guys have a problem with everything" Mum says. Scarlet and I scowl at her. We ain't called twins for nothing.

2 ENTIRE T.V LESS HOURS LATER

We get off the flight. Check out. Go see our new home. Scarlet wails how she needs the shower so bad. Mum yells. Dad yells. Mum yells at him. Mum yells at me. I yell at Scarlet. This house is a yelling mess.

God. Apparently, we are sleeping on two bedsheets put against each other on the floor, because our moving truck hasn't come yet. Didn't even get a chance to explore the new suburbs....I hope tomorrow is much more promising.

Don't worry Ethan. It will be. 

Okay!!! Sorry for the meagre update in this story. I just needed a filler up so Ethan can get to Astoria's school.....the next chapter has Nick and the promvite. Looking forward to your comments!! Love all of you....
