"Matthew Darlin', come downstairs, they are here!" Jill shouted from the living room. Matt's house wasn't the biggest..in reality it was quite small. Matt's room was straight up the stairs and the stairs were in the living room.

"MATTY!" Matt's thoughts got disturbed by his 11 year old cousin jumping on his back which made him chuckle.

"Hi Jammy!" Matt stared at his cousin, her mid-length fiery red hair was now much longer and her large green eyes much much brighter, her figure had started changing but it was only a small difference. "How is my favourite redhead?"

"Great actually!" Jasmine's face lit up when he asked that and her smiles widened even more with Matt genuinely didn't think could happen.

"An' why would that be?" He looked up at his aunt who was smiling as much as Jasmine was.

"Go on Jaz tell them!" Matt's aunt Laurie pestered. Making Jill's eyebrows burrow.

"Tell us what Jazzy?" Jill asked, clearly confused.

"I got cast as Jemima Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!" She practically squealed, as soon as she finished talking Matt picked her up and spun her around.

"I'm so proud of ye Jammy!" Matt shouted when he put Jazzy down.

"You should be proud of her, it wasn't easy!" Laurie exclaimed.

"I bet!" Jill returned in the same tone. They were all beaming and Matt kept hugging his little cousin.

"Hey Matty?" Jazzy piped up after some time.

"Yes Jammy?" Matt turned to her slowly looking away from the screen.

"Will you come see the show? You could of course invite your friends if they want to as well!" Jazzy asked, going back to the game they were playing.

"I wouldn' miss it for the world Jasmine!" Matt exclaimed rather quickly.

Jazzy was about to say something but they were disturbed by a knock at the door.

"Matthew Darlin', can you get the door!" Jill shouted from the kitchen.

"Already on it mum!" Matt trundled over to the front door and swung it open.

"Ye ready to go Mate?" Alex Turner's thick accent echoed through their small house.

"Ah shit I forgot!" Matt cursed himself rather loudly.

"Language young man there are little ears listenin'!" Jill reprimanded.

"Oh are Laurie and Jasmine visitin'?" Alex asked, mildly annoyed.

"Oh..yeah, I'm really sorry Al I forgot to tell ye" Matt responded, sounding truly sorry.

"Ey Mate it's a'right!" Alex responded a bit hurt.

"Matty ask him pleeeaaassee!" Jasmine's soft voice came from the doorway into the living room.

"Ask me what?!" Alex asked in the same tone Jill did when she found out about Jasmine.

"She wants me to see if you and the lads want to see her in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on the West end!....What do ye say?" Matt asked clearly cautious about something.

"Eyy, of course I'll go! I'm guessin' yer playin' lil Jemima?" Alex replied rather quickly.

"Well duh...who else could I play the Child Snatcher?" Jazzy remarked.

"I forgot 'ow posh ye sounded Jasmine!" Alex chuckled.

"What did ye expect I'm from Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare!" Jazzy put on the best Yorkshire accent she could but it was still bad which made her laugh at herself.
