*hears Eric come in the front door calling for him. Grins at Irene*

He's here. Think he'll go for it?

[irene_hicks]

I'm sure he will, how can he turn down a family reunion?

*frowns slightly*

Are you sure we shouldn't see if Daddy wants to go, too? He and Isabella could maybe patch up their relationship....

[nick_hicks]

*snorts*

Easily. Just be ready to break out those puppy eyes.

*thoughtful*

Nah, if we bring dad into it Belle will be all defensive and stuff. We wont get a chance ti say hey even.

[eric_hicks]

*checks his watch*

Nicky? C'mon, I got plans tonight.

*searches the house, finds his brother and sister*

What's up?

[nick_hicks]

*smiles*

Hey, come on now. You got a few minutes for your favorite brother, dontcha?

*looks at Irene*

So we were thinking. You gotta any vacation time, now that you're done with school?

[eric_hicks]

*teases*

You're only my favorite brother because you have no competition.

*eyes Nick warily*

Yeah, I have a little vacation time. Why?

[irene_hicks]

*stands near Nick and gives Eric the look*

Well, Nick and I were thinking it might be fun to go visit Isabella and India over New Year's. Out in California, where it's warm and sunny.

*smiles a little at him*

It's been ages since we were all together for the holidays.

[eric_hicks]

*sighs*

I knew I should have turned the phone off.

*smiles sweetly at Irene*

Sis, I'm not trying to spray cold water on you guys idea, but you do remember what it's like when we're all together right?

*looks at Nick*

I know it's tempting to block out the memories of our previous family gatherings, but I bet if you both really thought about it you'd see this is not a good idea.

[nick_hicks]

Come on, man. That was then. Everyones gotta be over all that by now. Besides, Belles got India out there. Why wouldn't see want to see us.

*thoughtful*

I'm not saying we take Dad with us. That would be a bad plan. But you know just us.

*grins*

Come on, you know you wanna see Belle and its been a while since we seen India too. What do you say? Are you in?

[irene_hicks]

Nick's right, we're not kids anymore. C'mon, Eric, it wouldn't be the same without you along.

*looks up at him hopefully*

[eric_hicks]

This is so unfair. If I go? Both of your New Year's resolutions is to stop tag teaming me with the puppy eyes.

*sighs*

Fine. We'll go.

[ingrid_hicks]

*walks into the room*

Go where?

[irene_hicks]

*beams at Eric*

This will be so much fun, you'll see!

*turns and sees Ingrid*

Nick and I were thinking of all of us going to visit Isabella and India over New Year's. It's not like Daddy's going to be home, so you can come with us, right?

[ingrid_hicks]

*is silent for a moment*

You want to spend New Year's in California, Irene Lily?

*looks over at Nick*

I guess this was your idea, Nikolas James.

[nick_hicks]

*moves sorta infront of Irene*

Yeah, it was my idea. I was just thinking it'd be cool to all go out and see them. Erics got some time off and me and Irene don't start back to school for a few more weeks. It's the perfect time to go.
