I had gotten settled in really quickly. And now, I was sitting on the couch watching cartoons. It was Saturday so Tom was still asleep. I looked at the clock and realised it was almost ten. At nine thirty, I'm allowed to wake him up on Saturdays. I turned off the tv and ran upstairs. Nearly tripping over myself. I ran into his room and jumped on the bed.
"Wake up! Wake up! It's almost ten! Wake up!" I hollered jumping on the bed around him.
"Five more minutes," he groaned.
"Nope! Up! Up! Up!" One eye opened and looked at me for a moment before closing again. Then his hand shot out and grabbed me, pulling me down onto the bed. He began tickling my sides and I screamed and flailed out in his grasp. I tried to push his hands away but to no avail.
"I surrender. Uncle, uncle, uncle! Stop!" I squealed. He laughed and finally let up. I tried to catch my breath.
"Alright. Let's go get ready. We have to pack today."
"Why?"
"We leave for America tomorrow. As soon as our plane lands we have to go straight to the Ellen Degeneres Show. Then, on Monday, I have a Crimson Peak interview. Tuesday, we have another show. Wednesday, we get to just explore the city a bit. Thursday, I have a Q&A/ comic con thing. Friday, we have the American Crimson Peak premier. Saturday we catch a plane back here. Then, Monday is the English Crimson Peak premier. Tuesday, we have an interview in the morning. In the afternoon, I have a Crimson Peak interview. Wednesday, we finally get to sleep in." I sighed. That is really busy.
"Okay. Let's go." I bounced on my bum and off the bed. He rolled out of bed after me.
"Go get some cereal out while I go to the bathroom." I nodded and skipped downstairs.
After breakfast, we went upstairs to pack for a week. I packed some comfy clothes, pyjamas, three dresses, regular clothes, underwear, swimsuit, toothbrush/ toothpaste, hair stuff, and shoes. I helped Tom take all our stuff out to the car. We only took a small break for lunch and then it was time for cleaning. I had to clean my room and then we went around the house cleaning practically everything. At six, we sat down for dinner.
"Do you just want to order pizza?" Tom asked.
"No. That's probably all we'll be eating in America. We should have breakfast for dinner."
"Okay. Like cereal?"
"No, Silly. Like pancakes, and bacon, and eggs, and orange juice." He laughed and stood up.
"Alright. Let's get started."
We finished eating around seven forty-five. It was delicious. Then we watched a movie in Tom's room before bed. He tucked me in and I almost fell asleep immediately.

"C'mon, Ava! Let's move!"
"What time is it?" I asked rolling over.
"Six. Let's go!"
"Two more hours."
"Nope. We have to leave. Let's get you dressed and let's go." He picked me up and carried me over to my closet.
Half an hour later, we were sitting on a plane heading for America. I was really excited but also very tired. With Tom's approval I fell asleep quickly. I hoped that when I woke up we'd be in America so I wouldn't have to wait any longer.
