~Bronwyn's POV~

"Oh I can't wait for tonight!" Claire squealed as I helped her with her costume. She was being Rapunzel from that movie, oh bugger what was it called....about the princess. Olive was a vampiress. They both looked adorable in their costumes.

"Why can't you come with us Wynnie?" Olive asked for the millionth time.

"Well...you see Olive, Jake has asked me, Fiona, Hugh, Millard, Emma, and myself to accompany him to a friend's house in Southern Florida. Emma wants us to go for his birthday and I agreed and can't get out of it. I'm sorry little magpies, but hey you will both still have fun with Horace."

At this the girls whined even more.

"But he's no fun!!!!"

"He gets scared of everything!!!"

"Enoch would be more fun than him!!! He's not afraid of trees!!"

"Please cannnnn we come with you, Wynnie? We'll be good!!!!"

I moaned into Olive's bed. The girls noticed my distress and shut up.

"Okay, we'll go with Horace."

"Even though he's no fun!"

"I am mortally offended."Horace said walking into the girls room."I make your costumes, offer to take you trick-or-treating, and this is how you repay me? Well, just know I will never accept any tea party invitation again!"

The girls started giggling at his overdramatic speech and ran up to hug him.

"We love you Horace!"

"We're sorry!!!"

"You're more fun than Enoch will ever be!" At this Horace hugs them back.

"Finally! You say something truthful! Let's go get in the car, Jake's probably waiting for us." They then left, leaving me to my room to pack. Millard wanted us to pack as little as possible during the trip, and quite frankly I agree with him. Oh, I can't wait to be back in the loop! Modern time is okay, but I've missed the ymbrynes, the protection, and the routine. Not to mention, the food. True junk food is delicious, but ymbrynes are master chefs. I can't wait for this event called Thanksgiving, where it's a whole day of food and some parade. The day after is some shopping day that Emma wants to participate in. I honestly don't know, the stores will probably be full...

Right, packing. I decided on my toothbrush, an extra change of clothes, and hair brush would be enough and quickly stuffed them in my backpack. I then hurried downstairs when I heard Mrs.Portman scream,

"JACOB MAGELLAN PORTMAN!!!! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I AM LETTING YOU SKIP SCHOOL TO GO TO MIAMI! YOUR FRIENDS EITHER!" Fiona, Hugh, Emma, and Millard than joined me in the hallway. We crept to the stairs and peaked in to the living room where Jake and his parents were fighting.

"Mom, it's my 18th birthday! We're just going down to the loop to see Miss P and the other ymbrynes. We'll be back by Sunday I promise." Jake pleaded.

"NO JACOB! YOU'RE GOING TO SCHOOL! IF I HERE YOU DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL, I WILL KICK YOUR ASS FROM HERE TO JAPAN!!!! NOW GO! THAT MEANS YOU TOO, EMMA, MILLARD, BRONWYN, HUGH, FIONA!!! GO NOW!!!!" She screamed, looking at our hiding place. We came down, picked up our backpacks, shoes, and jackets, and went to the car.

"I thought you guys were skipping?" Enoch asked once Millard, Emma, Jake, and I entered the car.

"Mom wouldn't let us. Are Hugh and Fiona backed out yet?"
