We're going on a trip" Jess spoke

It was Saturday morning, the year 2024. It had officially been a week since homecoming. A week since Harper and Griffin had been presented in royalty. They loved it. Like most days the "Dunnbell Family" were at the Tremont. Though most hours at the Campbells would be all fun and games...Well, not so much today. The Campbell and The Dunn kids were in the living room lobby. They were all seated on the couch, parents standing in front of them. It felt like a family meeting.

"On a trip?" Griffin questioned

Sarah nodded. Seconds later the 5 teens were screaming with joy, throwing pillows in the air, and letting their cheers collide with others.

"Alright, Alright, Alright," Ben said, setting down the kids. 

"There's more to the story" Jess pointed out

The juveniles exchanged glances and something was clearly wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, as well as Ms. Dunn, were attired in beachwear─sunglasses, flip flops, sundresses─as if they were on their way to Hawaii. The youths had dressed differently; they had donned their usual hoodies, jeans, leggings, and crop tops

"What is it?" Harper asked, impatiently

"Well..." Sarah started

"We're not all going on the trip" Jess took over

"Ha, sucks for you" Topher blurted  to his sister

"Shut up" Harper clapped back

"You're not going either," Jess remarked

Harper then glared at her brother, He just rolled his eyes.

"Wait," Griffin said

"You said "We're not all going", so that means-"

"None of you guys are going" Ben sighed

"Hm?"

"None of you guys are going"

The youngsters all just looked at each other in shock. Their parents were going on a trip without them.

"Where are you guys going?" Zoey wondered

"The Bahamas," Sarah said

"The Bahamas?" The teens all said in sync

"You're going to The Bahamas without us?" Wyatt put a question to

"Yeah," Ben said, with a smile

"So that means you guys are gonna be "home alone," Jess said

"What about the hotel?" Griffin asked

"We have staff for that" Sarah shrugged off

"Staff?, We haven't even met any staff"

"Well I have, and that's all that really matters," Sarah said

"Is this whole situation, why you told me and Harper to pack earlier ?" Topher said, taking a glimpse at his and Harper's overnight bags.

"Bingo," Jess said, with a smile

"This isn't the time for wordplay, Mom" Harper sassed

"You're going to The Bahamas without your kids"

"The Bahamas!" Griffin exaggerated

"The Bahamas!" Harper repeated

"The Baha-"

"Well as much as I'd love to do this, We have to get going" Sarah interrupted

"When do you guys leave?" Zoey wanted to know of
