veronica and vanessa packed up their luggage to move to district 21. it was around 2am and they were sneaking out so their mom couldn't see or hear them. they were talking to each other near the front door.

"roni, we're gonna get caught by mom." vanessa whispered.

"no we're not, calm down would ya?" veronica said as she was scurrying around to find her luggage.

"roni i don't wanna go anymore." vanessa whined.

"nessa we have to c'mon." veronica said stopping.

"what are you girls doing?" wendy, veronica and vanessa's mom said as she walked up behind veronica, veronica winces.

"hi mother!" veronica said jokingly, turning around.

"gee i really like your hair tonight." veronica said touching wendy's hair.

"get your hands off me!" wendy said smacking veronica's arm.

veronica grabbed her arm mouthing out "oww."

"you're moving to dirstict 21, aren't you?" wendy asked crossing her arms.

"how'd you know." roni asked confused.

"i figured." wendy said walking to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.

"have fun!" wendy waved as she walked back to her bedroom.

"what?!" vanessa yelled.

"she's not gonna yell at us?!?!" vanessa yelled.

"thankfully no." veronica sighed in relief.

"mom come back!" vanessa yelled.

"nessa, what are you doing?!" veronica asked whispering trying to turn vanessa around.

"what nessa?" wendy asked poking her head out the door.

"isn't district 21 bad?!?!" vanessa asked in concern.

"yes but you guys can handle it, i'm getting really old, you're getting really old." veronica and vanessa jaws dropped in rudeness.

"i'm not telling you guys what you can and can not do, you're 18 years old now. it's your choices now." wendy said going back into her room and shuts the door. there was a short silence.

"c'mon nessa, we need to go." veronica said breaking the silence, setting her hand on vanessa's shoulder as she turned around.

"c'mon grayson, we need to go!" ethan yelled looking up from his phone to the ceiling.

"yeah yeah, i'm coming." grayson said as he was carrying his luggage down the stairs to front of the door.

"okay gray let's go." ethan said putting his phone in his pocket as he walked out the door.

"wait!" grayson exclaimed running back upstairs as ethan stopped in the middle the doorway, ethan sighed.

after 2 minutes grayson came rushing down the stairs with a stuffed turtle in his hands.

"what are you gonna do with that?" ethan asked in concern.

"putting it in my luggage, duh."

"no you stupid duck, what are you gonna do with that." ethan said.

"well, i'm taking it to district with me." grayson answered.
