A few months later, when Summer Holidays started Nathalie's dream came true. Her beloved Grandma invited them to move into her Mansion & live with her 'cause as a widow since a year she started feeling too lonely living in such a big house alone', 'she wanted to have her family near her' & 'there was enough space for everyone'. Of course Jake followed his Mother's request. Dorothy also agreed because she liked her mother-in-law who 'wasn't young anymore & might need some help' but 'was such a Sweet Soul'. And Nathalie was the Happiest about 'being close to Grandma & her Wonderful Garden' all the time since now!
They were visiting Grandma as often as they could - that is: every weekend or at least once in two weeks before - but Living in Her Mansion with that Large Amazing Garden was like the Beginning of a New Adventure for Nathalie! - so she was More than Happy about it! She jumped on her bed out of joy & danced with her Bichon Frise in her arms calling cheerfully 'Did you hear that, Mina? - We're going to live in Grandma's House with her & her Magical Garden since now! - Isn't that Wonderful?'. Mina barked happily, licked Nathalie's face & wagged her tail, sharing her owner's happiness & Nathalie put the dog on the floor, looked around her room & said 'I need to Pack All My Things Now!'.
Her mother entered her room, carrying some suitcases & smiling & offered 'I'll help you. Sweetie!'. Nathalie answered 'Thanks, Mom!' and they started packing her clothes, toys, books & other necessary things together. They have finished in an hour & then Nathalie called her classmates & two best friends: twin sisters called Annie & Katie. Annie answered the phone & asked 'Hello?... Oh, hi, Nathalie... - What's up?'. Nathalie breathed in to make sure that she will have enough air to say it all & started 'Hi, Annie! - You won't believe it!... - We're moving out!... - No, don't worry, I'm not changing school - I'm going to live in My Grandma's Mansion since now!... - That's half an hour ride from my house by car... And closer to your and Katie's house than I live now!... - Yes, yes, I know that it's Great. I'm Happy too! - I'm going to spend the WHOLE HOLIDAYS in Her Garden!... - & I'll invite You!... - Tell Katie! - Gtg now! Bye!'.
