While his parents were putting their luggage onto the airport conveyor belt, Tommy and his identical twin friends Phil and Lil, were looking around the airport.
They had never seen anything like this before. There were all sorts of machines, bags and suitcases, beeping things, loud speakers, and people, lots and lots of people.
“Our firstest time on an arrow plane!” Tommy cried, excitedly. “Thinks about it you guys! We can watch the clouds go by, and we can eat what the arrow plane peoples eat, and we can play all sorts of fun arrow plane games. Oh! And I can also take pictures with the new clamra my Daddy gave me!”
Tommy pointed to the blue camera that hung around his neck by a red string. “See? All I have to do is press this pretty red button here, and the picture comes out here!”
“That’s cool Tommy!” Phil said, happily. “But me and Lillian are looking forward to eating the stuffs that’s under the seats!”
Lil nodded. “It’s nummy!”
“Wait a minute!” Tommy cried. “You guys have been on an arrow plane afore?”
“No.” Phil answered. “But we figured that since the stuffs that we have founded under the car seats tasted good-,”
“The stuffs under the arrow plane seats will taste even betterer!” Lil said, finishing her brother’s sentence for him.
Tommy grinned. Phil and Lil loved finding and eating gross things. Bugs, worms, mud, anything they could get their hands on. The twins would eat it all!
“Hey,” Phil suddenly cried, “isn’t that Danny over there?”
Tommy looked over to where Phil was pointing. Danny and Sam were glancing around the airport, trying to find where the babies were. Tommy waved over to them, and Sam eventually spotted him.
“Hi’ya, Danny!” Phil and Lil chorused, when Danny and Sam were within earshot.
“Hey, you guys!” Danny replied. “Are you ready for your first vacation?”
“Boy, are we ever!” Tommy exclaimed. “This is gonna be fun!”
Danny laughed. “Oh, Sam, this is-,”
“Wait,” she cried, looking at Phil and Lil, “don’t tell me!” Sam pointed at each of the twins as she tried to guess their names. “You’re Phil, and you’re Lil.”
“How did you know?” Lil asked Sam.
“Danny told me about you guys.”
“No. I mean, you can tell us apart?”
“Yeah, it takes more than just that pink bow in your hair to tell you two apart, right?”
“Finally!” Lil cried, happily. “Someone who understands me other than Phil! It’s a mirrorable!”
Sam giggled.
“Oh, sister!” Phil mumbled, so Tommy could only hear him. But he was still smiling anyway.
“Hey, Chuck!” Danny suddenly called out. “We’re over here!”
Sure enough, Chuckie came toddling over. “Hi’ya, guys!” he cried.
“Hi’ya Chuckie!” Tommy replied. “Why do you gots a paper bag?” Tommy was indicating to the paper bag his best friend was holding in his left hand.
“Well,” Chuckie started, “my Daddy says since I’m afraid of high places, I should hold this bag on the plane just in case I get air sick.”
“Don’t worry,” Danny exclaimed, “we’ll remember to move out of the way in case you start throwing up!”
“Danny!” Sam cried, giving him a warning glance.
“Don’t worry about me Sam,” Chuckie said, grinning, “that actually made me feel a whole lot betterer than I felt afore I gotted-,”
“HEY YOU DUMB BABIES!”
“AAAHHHH!” Chuckie screamed, running to hide behind Tommy.
Angelica laughed hysterically. “Man, I can’t believe you babies didn’t see me coming! Especially you Fenton, I at least thought you’d have some common sense!”
Danny sighed. “Angelica, while we’re on vacation, can we at least try and get along?”
“Let me think about that for a moment!” Angelica said sarcastically. “No!”
She spotted Sam, and walked toward her. “So, it’s Samantha right?”
Sam’s eyes widened. She was trying her best to not burst out yelling at Angelica. Sam absolutely hated being called by her actual name. Whenever someone would call her Samantha, she would get so angry at whoever called her that, she would make them take it back the hard way.
But Angelica seemed like the kind of person who wanted someone to get angry, so Sam pretended that she wasn’t bothered by it.
“Yes. But most people call me Sam.”
“I see!” Angelica said, smugly. “Do you like it when I call you Samantha?”
“I don’t see why you can’t call me that.”
“Okay, well do you like it when I do this?” Angelica took Tommy’s camera off his neck.
“Hey!” Tommy cried, jumping up and down, trying to reach his camera.
Sam grimaced. “I don’t think Tommy really appreciates that.”
“Well, how about this?” Angelica clunked Phil and Lil’s faces together.
“Ow!” Phil cried.
“Angelica!” Lil exclaimed, rubbing her head.
Sam was starting to get a little mad now. “No, not really!” she said, trying not to sound angry.
“Oh, fine!” Angelica cried. “I guess nothing really makes you upset!”
“Nope, nothing!”
“Ah, well.” Angelica sighed. She started walking back toward her Mom and Dad. Suddenly, “HEY FENTON, THINK FAST!” She pushed Danny, and made him fall to the ground.
All of the babies stood dumbstruck. Tommy and Sam ran over to Danny to make sure he was all right.
“Someone looks angry now!” Angelica said, smiling and looking at Sam.
Sam glared at her. “You are one twisted, mean, little girl, you know that?”
“Yeah,” Angelica answered, happily. “I know!” She skipped toward her parents, who were now loading their luggage onto the conveyer belt, and hummed happily to herself.
“Are you okay Danny?” Tommy asked, as he and Sam lifted him up.
Danny nodded. “I’m okay. Man, for a three year old girl, Angelica can push hard!”
“There are so many things I could say about her right now!” Sam cried, while watching Angelica. “But, I’m not going to!”
“I still can’t believe she’s my cousin!” Tommy exclaimed.
