~Serena's POV~

I woke up this morning to my alarm blaring, telling me to get up and ready for the coming day, today was the premiere for the new film I did with one of my many godfathers, Johnny Depp, and the film is 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', I loved making this film, but anyway going off track a little there, I reached my hand out and turned off the alarm and dropped back down onto the bed, trying to get an extra five minutes sleep.

But that didn't last long before my mum, decided to send my little brother, John, up the stairs to make sure I was awake. He came barreling into my room and leapt onto my bed - on top of me, and it may not seem like it but he is a very hyperactive 3-year-old, and he is quite tall for his age as well, so that doesn't help when he jumps on you.

"'Rena, mummy said wakey!" John said while slightly hitting me with his little hands, I pretended to sleep while positioning my hands ready for the tickling I'm about to do as revenge, "'RENA! WAKEY!" He yelled after he realized that I wasn't getting up.

"YAH!" I shouted as I sprang into action and started to tickle him while laughing slightly at both of our actions. "This will teach you to not jump on people!" I expressed while still tickling him, with him laughing like the mad hatter.

"'Rena stop!" He begged, tears running down his face from all of his laughing, I stopped and he sat back up and hugged me, his little arms wrapped around my shoulders and his legs around my waist as I stood up and situated him on my right hip, to carry him downstairs to our mum and my step-dad, Philip, my mum was in the living room and Philip was in the conjoining dining room on the phone, probably to my manager, Lily-Mae, sorting out the final arrangements for the car rides to and from the premier.

They arranged most of it the other day, I was riding with mum, John, aunt Gen and uncle Jared, they were being picked up in the car first and then picking us up when it's time to go to the premier.

Lily and mum also arranged that I could bring a copy of the film home for my dad to watch when he gets home from a job in America today and wouldn't get to London until after the premiere. Now, you must be thinking, my mum and dad mustn't get along, but it's quite the opposite really, they decided to stay friends and he even became close friends with Philip, so there are really no arguments between them, they even have a 'guy's night' every so often with uncle Mark, uncle Jensen, uncle Jared and uncle Gino.

After the premiere we are having the cast and some friends and family, come over to our house for the after party - kid-friendly of course.
