Sam & Cat & the Haunted Thundermans: The Dark Twister

Chapter Eleven: Sandcastles

Nora Thunderman POV

"Hurry up, Nora!" Phoebe ordered as she, Max, Mom, Dad, and Billy were standing at the door way, waiting for me.

It was now 4:00 in the afternoon on the Fourth of July and Taylor, Frankie, Sam, Cat, Ms. Hathaway, Goomer, Dice, and Nona were waiting for us down at the beach to watch the firework show that the Fiesta Hotel was putting on for their American guests. I even heard that the Preston's were going to try and come! Two days ago, we tried to plan to go swimming with dolphins yesterday at the check-in desk at the lobby, but when the employees tried to call the only place that would let us swim with dolphins, they told them that they couldn't fit anymore people, so we made reservations to go tomorrow! So, we had to go to the beach instead.

"Hold on, let me just put my bow on!" I shouted back to Phoebe, as I began to rummage though the top drawer of the big, wooden dresser in the living room. I kept on rummaging through the drawer, until I found my special Independence Day bow.

It's laces had red and white stripes, and at the knot of the bow, it was dark blue with white stars. As soon as I had gotten my bow on, I rushed out the door along with Mom, Dad, Phoebe, Max, and Billy. As soon as we had got to the elevators, Billy immediately pushed the little, white, round "up" button on the silver panel that was right in between of the two elevators.

"Hey, I wanted to press that button, Billy!" I shouted.

"Must this happen every time that we take the elevators?" Dad asked.

"Yeah, have a little respect for your country!" Mom agreed, "It's Independence Day!"

"Respect for our country!?!? Mom, have you even seen my bow!?!?" I asked, as I pointed towards the bow on my head with both of my index fingers, "It looks like an American flag!"

"You know what I mean, Nora."

"Fine! Billy and I will stop fighting over who gets to press the elevator buttons. Isn't that right, Billy?" I asked, as I turned towards Billy.

"Yup!" Billy agreed, as he nodded.

"Ok, good," Dad sighed.

About a minute or two later, we heard a, "Ding!" from the elevator on the left. It's two silver doors glided apart from each other, letting us inside of the elevator. I was the first one who got inside of the elevator, so I got to press the little, white, round button that had a, "1" on it. As soon as I had pressed the button, the elevator doors glided across their tracks and merged together.

"Hey, I wanted to press that!" Billy argued

"Hey, I thought that you guys agreed to stop fighting over who gets to press the elevator buttons," Max stated.

"I thought that we did too," I replied as I shrugged.

"Billy!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"What?" Billy asked, oblivious to what he had just done.

"You and Nora promised that you guys wouldn't argue over who gets to press the elevator buttons!"

"Oops."

"It's ok, kids. We'll let it slide just this one time," Mold told Billy and I, "Right, Hank?"

"Wait, what?" Dad asked, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

"I said, 'we'll let it slide just this one time. Right, Hank?' "

"Uhh.. yeah..."

"You have no idea what happened, do you?"
