When we got back to the house there was lunch ready and set out on the table. "This smells lovely,Charity!" I  shout from the dining room. "Thank you Ember!" Charity shouts from the kitchen. "Come on Phillip we have got food to eat!" I say laughing. "Then what are we waiting for?" He asks with a chuckle. I sit down in between  Caroline and Phillip. Helen is sitting on the other side of Phillip. Once we are done Phineas stands up and tells Phillip and I that we should head to the circus.

We step out of the carriage in front of the circus and walk inside. Everyone is sitting on stools fixing themselves for the show. Lettie is brushing her beard. The fat man is is just sitting down and the Irish Giant is stretching. After we all talk for a while Phillip comes running in. "Mr. Barnum! This is for you."Phillip says as he is panting. "The queen hear by invites Mr. Barnum and his theatrical crew to a dinner at..... Buckingham Palace!" "I had to pull a few strings" Phillip said with a smirk.

"Phillip can I talk to you for a second?" I say my tone of voice serious . "Of course Ember." I pull him over to the stands. "Are we all going? Or is Mr. Barnum just going to block us out again?!" I said tears arising in my eyes. He hesitated. "Well I will just have to tell the queen, either all of us go or none of us." I could tell everyone was watching us but I didn't care. I pulled him into a massive hug which he looks surprised at. I pull away and run back to the others. "What was that all about?" W.D asks me. "Oh nothing." I say with a smirk. "Mhm" says W.D teasing me. I playfully punch him on the right arm.

"We leave tomorrow" said Mr. Barnum. I have realized to call him Phineas at home and Mr. Barnum at work. "So there is no show tonight?" Anne asked. "I have already told O' Malley not to sell any tickets today" Phillip interrupted. "Lets go pack then!" I shouted excitedly. "Phillip would you like to walk with me back home instead of taking a carriage?" I questioned. "Of course I would love to accompany a beautiful woman." This made me blush. We were walking home and we decided to walk through the woods.

"It's beautiful, isn't it." He was clearly daydreaming as he jumped when I talked. "Sorry? Oh yeah it is."he said with his cheeks blushing. I laughed at him and then he punched me playfully on the arm. Then all of a sudden he turned me around and stared straight into my eyes. "Ember I......." He was cut off by Phineas. "Phillip, Ember!! Come on!" So I grabbed his arm and we ran all the way back to the house. "We ran up the stairs and stopped in between our two doors. "Ember..." "Gotta go pack!" I said with a big smile and closed the door behind me.

Once I had finished packing I knocked on Phillips door. "Hello?" There was no response so I walked in. Phillip was lying on the ground,asleep. I tried packing up the clothes he had folded around him and packed up other things that he needed as well. I was sitting beside him and my eyes started to close. Soon enough I was asleep,cuddled into Phillip.

I woke up the next morning on the bed and Phillip was on the floor beside the bed. "Phillip,Phillip" I whispered trying to get him to wake up. He wouldn't wake up so I shouted "THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!" He shot up out of his sleep and said "What are you okay? Are the girls okay?!" "Its a joke I had to wake you up somehow." I said laughing my head off. He grabbed the pillow that was under my head and hit me with it. "Hey! Oh your on!" We had a pillow fight until Charity grabbed me out of the room and said "Do you have anything to wear to the queens palace?" "Well I have my yellow dress..." "Oh that's no good! Come on let's go through my dresses and you can pick one." "Okay but..." She dragged me by the arm down to her room and into her walk in wardrobe. Now I will be downstairs getting breakfast ready for the two girls. You guys are having g breakfast on the boat. If you need anything I will be downstairs." "Okay.."and she rushed out of the room. There was so many dresses all different styles,colours and fabrics. I finally picked a simple red ball gown dress that goes off the shoulders.

I folded it carefully and put it in a separate suitcase because it was to big to fit into the suitcase with all my other things

I folded it carefully and put it in a separate suitcase because it was to big to fit into the suitcase with all my other things. "I walked downstairs and the two boys were waiting at the front door. "Good luck honey" Charity whispered as she put my jacket on me. We walked out the door and I was sitting in between Phillip and Phineas. We picked up Anne and W.D and they sat opposite us. We drove down to the docks and did a roll call. Everyone was there so we went aboard the ferry my room was on the third deck across from Phillips room and Phineas's room was beside mine.

All of a sudden I decided that I didn't like the movement of the boat going side to side. I was with everybody else in the dining room and I realized that I was going to get sick. "Guys I think I'm going to get sick!" I said all of a sudden. "Phillip bring her to her room quick!" said Mr.Barnum. Phillip picked me up quickly,but gently and rushed me upstairs to my room he gave me a bucket and put me down on the bed. "Phillip?" I said hoarsely. "Yes?" "Will you stay with me?" "Of course" he said with a smile. "You really are the best." I said before I drifted off to sleep.
