The girls arrived at Alaska after two days. The boys had settled well in the  cottage by then.They came to greet the girls, at the station.
"Gosh Jenny, look how much have you grown in the last few months." Said Jack, when he caught sight of his sister. Jenny grinned and hugged her brother.She loved him more than anyone in the world.
" And our dear Clara still the same as usual.", said Charlie.
He loved to tease his sister. She was very much afraid of the insects he kept as a pet usually and would not even come near him, when he had one with him. 
"Hello,Hello, Rolls and Polls" said Lili the parrot.
"Yeah we missed you too lili, Hello to you too.I see you have learned new words again". Said Jenny. And the parrot just snickered in its birdly manner .
" So what kind of new pet you have these days?" Asked Clara.
" I cared for a hedgehog in school, but had to leave him back in Calafornia because his family was there." Said Charlie .
"Thank God you left it there , or I wouldn't have even came near you."said Clara.
"Comm'on girls let's take you guys to the new cafe. I swear they have the best sardine sandwiches in the town",said Jack.
" And we have some good news to tell you people as well" said Charlie.
"What is it? " asked Jenny.
"Lets eat first, I'm pretty starved, than you guys can give us your news." Said Clara.
They ate at the same cafe again, but this time took to sandwiches and an ice cream cone each.
As they came out of the shop, licking their ice cream, Clara asked" So what did u boys wanna tell us?".
"Well the news is that Bill is coming this weekend and he sure has a surprise for us" said Jack.
" Wow that's great, I was just gonna ask when was Bill coming , he had promised last time to spend some of the days of our hols with us", said Jenny.
She was rather found of the man. She thought of him as a father figure,that she never had in her life .
" Two days left in the weekend, let's enjoy some good games and swiming sessions by than, its pretty hot this summer in Alaska" said Clara.
" I agree" all roared in a union.
Soon they reached home and met their mother.
The next two days, the fun of the hols began. They went swiming the whole afternoon and took picnic baskets with them.They enjoyed many outdoor games. And to the horror of Clara, Charlie made friends with a bettle, who kept with the boy all the day, except when he was swiming.
       Atlast, weekend arrived. And so did Bill. He came by lunch time.
Mrs Hills and the kids were overjoyed to meet him.
" I see your mother told you about my visit" , said Bill.
" Yeah we were all waiting for your arrival" said Jack.
  " And what's the surprise you have got for us?" Asked Clara .
  " Well, i will tell it to you all after lunch. I actually havn't eaten well from last 2 days. So i am gonna have a huge appetite today" said Bill.
So Mrs Hill presented them with lunch soon,  consisting of all the favourite items of the kids.
" Chicken roast, tuna and sardine sandwiches, grilled potatoes, plum cake, lasagnea,what a treat, i say we have got the best mother in world." Said Charles.
  "Yes" everyone shouted.
After dinner, they gathered in the sitting room.
" Well now to tell you guys the surprise, I have been given a small aeroplane for one of my missions and I was thinking about giving you kids a ride on it" said Bill.
The kids were antonished.
" plane" " wow" " how awsome"
Everyone chimed in.
" When can we go on it, please say tommorow"said Jack excitedly.
" Yes, i was looking forward for the ride tommorrow morning , what do u people say?" Asked Bill.
" Oh ! We will love that" said Clara and everyone agreed.
Mother gave them permision, seeing Bill was with them too. She trusted him alot .So everyone slept early that night, so they could enjoy the adventurous ride the next day offered.
