It was a quiet winter night in Chicago, Christmas coming closer and closer with the houses all decorated. We are focusing on one household though, belonging to the McCallister family. There were Christmas lights and angels among it and the family was scattering around. There wasn't just a mother, father, son and daughter, there were four parents in the house with their dozens of children all around, especially with the visiting aunt and uncle with their own children.

Everyone was in a rush to do their packing and get ready to leave home for the happy holidays. Many people were heard shouting 'Where's my suitcase?'. As they bustled about, trying to get packed and ready. One girl was just calmly walking through the hallway, but seemingly looking out for someone. Her blonde hair was in two plaits and her eyes were calm. At the front door, the father who was named Peter was talking with a security guard about them leaving and making sure that their house would be safe and protected while they would be away for the holidays for when they would leave the next morning.

Chelsea looked over at her father. "Daddy, do you know where Kevin is?" She tries to ask him, her voice soft.

"I think he's upstairs with your mother, sweetie." Peter gave a small smile to his eldest child.

"Thank you." Chelsea smiled and then looked warily at the police officer.

The officer nodded to her, feeling the same way for some reason, but tried to calm. Chelsea's youngest sibling, who was an eight-year-old brother named Kevin, was actually in the living room and went to look for their mother, but he saw his sister instead. He looked very unhappy and upset about something.

Chelsea noticed Kevin and ran over. She wrapped her arms around him. "Oh, Kev, what's the matter?" She asks softly.

"I'm trying to watch a movie in the living room, but Buzz keeps turning it off..." Kevin folded his arms, he was glad at least someone was paying attention to him. "No one will make him stop!"

"Did you ask one of the adults?" Chelsea asks him, just trying to make sure he had covered all his bases before coming to her.

"Mom's packing bags, I think Dad's talking with a cop, and Uncle Frank never wants to talk to me." Kevin pouted.

"What about Aunt Leslie?" Chelsea asks softly. She was still hugging her brother.

"I don't know where she is..." Kevin stared at the floor.

For some reason, the cop was speaking with the other kids, asking about their parents.

"Okay, Kev, take me to Buzz and I'll sort him out." Chelsea says, lifting his head up softly with her hand under his chin. She glanced at the police officer.

The officer glanced back, but ignored the kids as he kept looking around. Kevin nodded, leading Chelsea to the living room.

Buzz was currently looking into a cage where he kept his tarantula.

Chelsea hid her fear of the spider. "Buzz, why'd you keep switching off the movie?" She asks, folding her arms angrily.

"'Cuz it's a stupid movie..." Buzz glared back at her.

"I don't care, if any of the others did that to you, you'd have a go at them! Now keep the movie on and say sorry or you'll be it." she tells her younger brother. She was annoyed right now.

Buzz narrowed his eyes at her. "Sorry..." he forced himself to say, but sounded anything but.

Kevin frowned, but accepted it anyway. "It's fine..."

Chelsea glared as it wasn't a real sorry, but went off with Kevin. "Have you packed, Squirt?" She smiles at him softly.

Kevin only laughed when Chelsea would call him things like that. "Yeah, but... I don't wanna sleep in my room..."
