*I guess I can put the necklace on, Jessica's in Mexico with my Dad..* thought Tim, sliding the necklace over his head.
He stared at the glowing colours, wondering when he would have to change the batteries, as he walked into the living room, he noticed a set of baby girl clothes on the floor. "Guess that's for Nicky when she gets dropped off here..." he said, passing it by, and heading to the phone.
Reaching the phone in the kitchen, he pressed the message return button.
"1 New Message.
1st New Message.
Hi there Cindy! Just calling to say that there's been a change of plans! I can keep Nikki with me when I go on my buisiness trip, the hotel permits children. Tell Tim that he doesn't need to worry, I know how much he gets annoyed by her. *giggle*
Ok, See you in 4 days!
Laura"
"Yes! Nikki isn't coming to stay! That's awesome!" Tim exclaimed, deleting the message. "Might as well put the gift for her away, and I can tell my mom when she gets home."
Tim went to the living room, and picked up the two piece swimsuit his mom had bought, which had fallen out of the pile of clothes for Nikki.
Suddenly, he felt very strange.
*Wait... when did the fireplace look so tall?* he thought to himself, looking up at the ceiling, which seemed to be getting increasingly farther away...
"Uh oh"
