"Goooooood Morning everyone" said Evie as she walked into the dining area with Noey in her arms
"Good Morning Evie" said Annie
"Morning" said Maddie
"Good Morning Princess" said Lucas
"Good Morning Dad" said Evie as she gave Lucas a kiss on the cheek
Evie and Noey were the last people to wake up and everyone else had already started eating breakfast, so Evie took her seat and Noey sat beside her, she dished some eggs on Noey's plate and she took some for herself.
"Okay so now that Everyone is here... we have a special announcement to make" said Lucas
"We?" asked Evie
"Yes we... Me and Your Mom, Lisa and John, Stella and Curtis...we" replied Lucas
"Ooooh okay?" said Evie as she was confused, and so were the others
"So what is it?" asked Annie suspiciously and all the children agreed with her
"Well...We are going on a trip" said Mr. Grey
"Noo, Dad why? where are you going??" asked Annie
"No Annie, not only me and your mom but all of us" he replied
"Huh??... To where?" asked Annie as she was confused
"To the Vampire realm" said Lucinda as she chipped in
"Ooooh Yayyyyyy i have always wanted to go to the Vampire realm" said Maddie
"Oooh Maddie for once i agree with you.. the Vampire realm is beautiful" said Evie
"Yes i agree with Evie i can't wait for you to see it" said Kaylee
"Okay okay but wait... why are all of us going?" asked Annie and Matt also had a questioning gaze on his face.
"Well the Palace needs to undergo some security checks and it's best if none of you are here while it happens, so we all decided that it's best if you all go on a little trip... think of it as a little vacation" replied Curtis quickly but calmly.
Curtis's explanation did make sense but for some reason Annie did not trust it one bit, a part of her was telling her that is was a lie but she ignored it and said
"Yayyyy, okay that sounds nice, i don't remember the last time we went on a vacation and we have been stuck in the Palace for such a long time so... i can't wait to finally see the Vampire realm"
Matt looked at his Father with a doubtful look in his eyes but Lucas did not back down and in the end it looked like they were having a staring contest.
"Matt??" asked Annie as she saw he was looking at his father
"Mhmmm Yes Annie i also cannot wait for you to see the Vampire realm... it is very beautiful" he said as he broke eye contact with Lucas and looked back at Annie
"Yesss" said Annie
"So Curtis when are we leaving?" asked Annie
"Well Later today" he replied
"What??why so soon?" asked Annie
"Yes.. doesn't this feel a bit rushed?" added Maddie
"Girls Girls relax... it's all for your own good" said Stella as she finally joined in the conversation
"Okay Aunt Stella, so will you be coming with us?" asked Annie
"No sadly my dear i have to be here for the security check, as you know being the Vice Chancellor is not easy, but you guys go and have fun" said Stella as she smiled
"Okay Aunt Stella" said Annie as she smiled back
"Okay everyone that was a nice chat but i have some duties to take care off, see you later this evening" said Stella as she stood up from the dining table and made her way to the exit.
"Okay Aunt Stella take care" said Maddie and with that everyone went back to eating.
"It feels weird right??" asked Annie as she was watching Maddie pack her clothes into a suitcase.
"Yes it does... I mean we have been in the Palace for so long, it feels nice to have a change of location but it is also weird" replied Maddie
"Yes, but is it only me or does this trip seem impromptu and a little bit suspicious" said Annie as she was hanging upside down on her bed.
Just then there was a knock on the door and Annie answered it and Matt walked into the room and said
"Yes it is very suspicious"
"Matt, haha Hi, are you done packing your stuff?" asked Annie as she sat upright on her bed
"Well yes considering the fact that i hadn't even finished unpacking so, it was a very easy process" said Matt
"Haha" said Maddie as she started laughing
"Well yes i agree with you" chuckled Annie "But you do agree with me that the adults are acting very weird, especially Aunt Stella and Curtis" she added
"Well yes, but i haven't heard anything but i am sure everything is fine" said Matt
"Oooh you and your super hearing... How am i sure that you never eavesdrop on me and Maddie's conversations?" asked Annie suspiciously
Matt went a bit silent and coughed... the truth was he did listen in on their conversations one or two times, i mean their rooms were very close together and he promised that he was not a creep but sometimes he just had to hear some information.
Matt cleared his throat and said "I assure you i do no such thing... all the time" he said as he left the last part out
"Hmmm okay then" said Annie as she narrowed her eyes at him, meanwhile Maddie was busy laughing at their cute display.
"Heyyy why are you laughing?" asked Annie
"Well it's you two... you are just so cute" said Maddie as she continued to laugh
Matt looked at Annie, and Annie looked away and said
"Hey it's not that funny and cute" she said while pretending to be annoyed
"Heyyyyyy what's so funny??" asked Evie as she just opened the door and entered the room without asking for permission
"Evie, where are your manners? why didn't you knock?" asked Matt as he was annoyed
"Well excuse me Matt, these are my girls so i do not need to knock" said Evie as she pouted.
She ignored Matt's annoyed face and looked at Maddie and she asked what was so funny
"Well Evie dear, if you must know, i am laughing because Annie and Matt are just too cute" replied Maddie
Evie's eyes lit up once she heard cute and Annie and Matt's name in the same sentence.
"Those two are so cute and they never even realize it" said Evie as she ignored the two other people in the room and went to sit in Maddie's bed like she owned the room
Maddie didn't mind since she got to have a gossip partner so the two happily chatted along completely oblivious to the two figures that were right there in the room with them.
"My gosh Maddie" said Annie as she face-palmed
"What??" asked Maddie
Annie just sighed and went out of the room and Matt left with her.
"Sheesh what's wrong with them?" asked Evie
"I have no idea??" replied Maddie as they went back to chatting
