"Liiibyyy... Liiiiiiiibbbbyyyyyy.... LIBBY!"

"I DO! I mean, HUH? What?!"

The black-haired pre-teen jolted upright in bed at the startling intrusion to her amazing dream. She was just ready to walk down the aisle to meet Jimin at the altar but disturbingly his face morphed into a two headed monster of-

"Cooper! Charlie! What the heck!?"

Charlie harrumphed, clearly frustrated at her loss of memory, "We told you to set your alarm for early, don't you remember?"

Libby blinked blearily and grabbed at her phone... but then realized that it wasn't there. She was still grounded, which meant her phone was placed wherever her mother thought it prudent, no matter where they were.

"What time is it?"

Cooper sighed, "3:00am. Come on, let's move it", he went to tug at the blankets to remove them from his sister's body, but she gaped in protest, pulling them back.

"Wait, THREE? Seriously?"

"Yes, we're serious. If you want to know what's going on, we need to get a move on. Mom and Dad are leaving in an hour. We have to make sure we're in position before they find out"

Again, Libby stared and blinked at her brothers' boldness at their new... mission?

She sighed, realizing they were right. She really did want to know what was going on. So... that meant early to rise.

"Fine... Just... get out so I can get dressed, OK?"

The twins saluted and made their exit. But, before they could fully leave her to privacy, Cooper turned around and warned that she had "T-60 seconds to be by the front door!". And with that, they made their way out.

Libby sighed and flopped back for a few seconds to adjust her brain to the reality that she was not going to be the next Mrs. Jimin...

She was currently staying in her Aunt Chelsea's old room. Her mom and dad were in her mom's old room and Cooper and Charlie were staying in Aunt Skip and Aunt Stacie's old shared room. All of her aunts decided to stay at a hotel, actually claiming that for the first time ever the Dreamhouse was admittedly too small for everyone!

After getting dressed, Elizabeth cautiously pried open her door. She peered into the hallway to make sure the coast was clear. Upon seeing no other eyes, she snuck and tip-toed down the stairs to the front door.

Her twin brothers were already waiting for her... by the front door... where anyone could see them.

Walking down the stairs and glancing around suspiciously, Libby whispered harshly to them, "Hey, morons! We're right out in the open! Don't you remember how many cameras grandma has in this place?"

Charlie smirked and crossed his arms, "Do you honestly think we'd just walk around knowing we're on camera? Please... you know us better than that"

Blinking, Libby stood back up in slight surprise... then lowered her eyes in confusion, "What did you guys do?"

"The less you know the better", Cooper cautioned. Libby, pondering that for a second, nodded.

"Fair enough"

Charlie added with a wave, "Over here. We can sneak out through the garage and into mom and dad's car"

"Aaaaand we have our disguises!", Charlie shiningly held up their blankets from last night.

Libby sighed, feeling less and less confident about their plan. However, she was eager to know what was going on with her parents and why someone kept wanting her mom... she couldn't believe she was thinking this, but... dead!
