Ten thousand feet in the air, the United Air flew and was close to landing. It had announced all the SOP before it landed and a certain Emmi Brooks, dressed as her twin Avia Grande, was seated nervously in first class looking out the carbon fiber window taking in the sights that was New York City.

"Ok, this is it," she sat back from looking out the window, letting out a long nervous sigh. "Oh, God, I hope she likes me. Please like me," she chanted clasping her fingers together in a kind of prayer, shutting her eyes.

The plane descended and finally it landed. The cabin doors were opened and people started pouring out. Emmi immediately grabbed her small purse - her only carry-on and exited along with the other passengers. She entered the terminal amidst the continuous stream of people coming and going. Since she was too small, a bit petite to be exact, she could hardly see through the tall bodies surrounding her. Spotting a row of benches, she quickly went over to them and clambered over one which gave her a better view of the airport terminal. She looked around and was trying to look for any familiar face (from the pictures her sister showed her) when she heard a man calling out her "name."

"Avia!"

She whirled around and saw a tall blonde man in a navy blue shirt and pink shorts approaching her, holding a small bouquet of flowers in his hand, next to him was a brunette man about the same height, in jeans and a T-shirt. This is it! She thought and immediately called out to them in her best American accent (without sounding overly dramatic),

"Uncle Frankie!"

Frankie Grande was ecstatic at the sight of his niece and he immediately hugged her tightly and handed her the bouquet. She hugged him back just as tight - Emmi Brooks too was ecstatic to get to know the uncle her twin kept blabbing on about.

"Missed you." Frankie said after letting go of her.

"Missed you," she answered looking at him longingly and smiled before turning to the other man who was grinning at her. "Uncle Zac!" She threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"Hey kiddo. It's been way too quiet without you!" Zac Efron smiled brightly, ruffling her hair.

Emmi giggled and pulled back, looking at both her uncles in excitement.

Frankie appeared to be studying the new look of his niece, "What did you do to your hair?" he asked which proved that he was.

"Cut it, do you like it?" Emmi felt apprehensive, her uncle's face didn't really seem to register that he was pleased with the 'do but she was proven wrong when he smiled.

"I love it! It's the new you!" he gushed, "And you had your ears pierced!" he noted as he carried her down from the chair, "Give me five, girlfriend," he said putting out his hand.

Emmi was stunned for a second but quickly recovered when she remembered that this was supposed to be their "secret handshake." Gathering her wits about, she quickly put the bouquet on the chair and shook her uncle's hand which started their "handshake." She let out a quick sigh of relief when she managed to do it and then they were off!

The Rolls-Royce they rode took Emmi throughout all of the nice sights of New York and she couldn't help but roll down the window and stick her head out...just like an American tourist. The car passed the Empire State Building, fifth avenue, FAO Schwartz.

"This is so amazing!" she gushed as she put her head back inside the vehicle.

"Eight weeks into camp and you act like an American tourist." Zac joked stroking his niece's hair.
