"Diamond, was that you knocking on the upstairs door earlier." asked Holly
"Yeah heard when Denny arrived and wanted to know who it was, but I yelled down to you, but you never answered. I wanted to find out who that was knocking on the front door."
"good gracious child I never heard so much racket. You in hear beating on the upstairs door and Denny down stairs beating on the Kitchen door, I'll be if you people aren't the noisiest of all people in the world."
Denny began swaying back and forth from one foot to the other.
"Well we'd better get this show on the road if we're going to go, so we need an answer Diamond, what's it going to be---are you going are not?"
"I'll go but we'll play hell trying to find cupid, my dad. Just let me get some things together, what should I bring, I mean where are we going."
"Bring both winter and summer clothes and pack light, we have a lot of traveling to do."
The orphans had each been working since age sixteen in order to be able to afford to take a trip looking for their parents, so they had much money saved towards the travel. They would first go to visit Denny's father in Canada at the Hundred Acre Woods, where they were certain Winnie the Pooh lived. Next their travels would take the two brothers, Finn and Cinder to meet their father Chris Kringle, or the worlds most loved elf old St.Nick or Santa Clause, as he was known by so many different names around the world. The group was not positive about the where-a-bouts of Cupid, Diamond's father. From their research they believed he could be found in the Country of Greece.
They would be taken to the four corners of the Earth to find their birth parents. Diamond was not so sure she even wanted to know her dad. After all she had gone her whole life without knowing him and she had done just fine. But she was along for the trip to be with her adopted siblings. They were all dear friends and had been for many, many years. Finn and Cinder were ready to go when Denny arrived, but they waited for Diamond to retrieve her belongings, which just took her a brief moment, as she just took a few out-fits from her closet and shoved down in a bag.
"Well, we're off!" she said with a hug and a kiss for Holly. "We're sure gonna miss ya, ma."
"You babies be careful, you're going around the world, it's not like you going down the block or something, lots of dangerous things could befall you."
"Oh come on ma, don't worry, we're not babies or children any longer, were we are seventeen and eighteen years old, and we'll be ok, you raised us right as I was telling you earlier. We'll keep our heads low, besides we know where we are going." Cinder said.
Yes but do you know what you'll find when you get there, I just worry about you, you're too young to be traveling across the world."
They all filed out the door to a waiting taxi cab they had called earlier. They were destined to the train station to ride the rails into Canada.
"Should we notify your dad that we are coming?" asked Finn innocently.
"Are you kidding, and give him the chance to flee!" said Denny.
