"Why's everyone laughing?" I heard a voice say, I look towards the living room entrance way and saw aunt Gen and uncle Jared, smiling at us, and they were right they did match in darker colours.

"Aunt Gen!" I yelled, scrambling to my feet and running to her, only to tackle her to the floor in the hug, both of us laughing, while getting back up and fixing our dresses and pushing our hair out of our faces.

"Where's my hug?" Jared asks me, giving a lopsided grin. I just shrug my shoulders as I pretend to start walking past him, his jaw drops slightly in mock shock - I hope anyway. But just as I was walking past him, I turned and leapt on his back causing him to stumble to try and regain his footing, laughing all the while putting his hands around me as best as he can to stop me from falling.

"Hi, Uncle Jared." I said, giggling slightly at the fact that I had managed to jump on the gigantic moose's back and make him stumble slightly.

"Now if you are all ready, we need to get going, the premiere is in about an hour and a half and you still need to do some press and cast photos." Lily said looking towards me and then made a shooing motion with her hands, guiding us outside to the car after everyone made sure they had everything.

When we got outside I saw no cars but in their place was a black stretch limo with a police car both in front and behind it, just looking at the limo my jaw dropped, causing my family to start laughing.

"Oh my gosh." I said, still in awe of the scene in front of me, then remembered that there are police cars on either side of the limo and turn towards Philip, mum must have had the same thought because she also turned to Philip.

"Is this your work for tonight?" We both asked him in unison, raising our eyebrows, he smiled at us in reply.

"Well, I'm not gonna to let my girls go to the premiere withou' a littl' style." Philip said, his Scottish accent playing full force, it was one of the many things I found amusing when I first met him and I tried copying his accent a few times as well, but everyone would just laugh because I usually just sounded more Irish than anything, but I have gotten better.

"Wait, who's in the cars?" I asked looking towards the two police cars. I hope it's not Toby, no offence to him, but he thinks that talking about rocks for hours is fascinating, but I usually just fall asleep after a couple of minutes of him going on about the differences between granite and quartz.

I ran to the cars - well as best I can in heels and saw James Duncan in the car behind the limo and then ran to the other and saw Elliott Duncan in that car, James and Elliott are twins, they are both originally from Australia but moved to London when they were around 12 and now they work with Philip and they are usually the two I hang around with when Philip takes me with him when he has no other choice but it is only when they aren't there that I have to stay with Toby.

"Yes, it's the twins!" I exclaim to the others, doing a little wiggle dance of joy, being grateful that it's not Toby, causing the others to laugh at me, knowing exactly what I was thinking.

"Glad to see you too, Rose." Elliott said, getting out of his car and giving me a hug, James following closely behind him, giggling quietly to himself as if waiting for something to happen.

Right now I am lightly bouncing from foot-to-foot, the adrenaline of my excitement for the premiere now hitting full-force.

"Can we start going now, before I burst from excitement!?" I exclaimed, still jumping from either foot to the other, John now mimicking me, as this is the first time he is going to a movie premiere.

"Get in the car, Philip and I will go in the escort cars, and then we can get this show on the road." Lily said, starting to move towards the car James was in with said twin, while Elliott and Philip went to the other car and the rest of us crowded into the limo, me being the first to get in.
