"Um guys?" Jules says in a worried tone "Ya?" Jalen asks as Joslyn is running back and forth down the hotel halls because she had lost the game of exploding kittens. "Um so the door kinda shut on me" Jules says in a fake laughing tone "Um well me nore braden have a room key to the hotel room so we are stuck out here" Jalen worries "Don't tell joslyn yet though" Jules says whispering "Ok" "Ok" "Ok" Jalen, Braden and Bella agreed. JOslyn was running for her heart's content until "Whoa!" Jolyn faceplants on the ground with a thud. "Im ok" Joslyn says standing up.

"Now lets head back inside for another round" Joslyn says as she is walking toward the door. "Um so Joslyn I kinda accidently locked us out of our room" Jules tells her "guys where are we going to go?" Jalen asks "well we might as well go down stairs and see if there is food because I have not eaten" Braden says as he starts to walk threw the door to the stair case. "Let's go!" Jules agrees running past him "running around with no shoes on is fun!" Jules yells as everyone is racing down the stairs.

"There is nothing to eat" Joslyn says disappointed "There is sucers and they are free!" Bella says joking but soon everyone rushes over to grab one. "Well I guess there is nothing else to have" Bella takes one and walks over to the couch. "Guys we should probably go back up stairs for when the moms come back" Joslyn puts out "good idea" Bella agrees. Everyone starts to race back up the stairs.

Hours later... "Guys we have made a mess with sucer rappers" Jules said looking around the window sill they were sitting on. "Look theres a dog outside" Joslyn says pointing out the window "oh ya" Bella said looking out the window. "Guys we should just ask for a room key" Braden points out "no they wont give us one. They will probably think we are trying to break into a room" Jalen says showing that that plan won't work "True. Wait! I have a plan lets break into that room!" Braden says raising his eyebrows looking at the room with the door wide open "let's make sure no one is in there" Braden says before going in "good idea" Jalen agrees. Braden and Jalen both creep into the room while Bella, Joslyn and Jules stay behind encase this goes south. Soon Braden and Jalen are no where to be seen. As Bella was about to say something a head pops out "Guys come on no one is in here!" Braden says in excitement. Bella, Joslyn and Jules start to glide into the room.

As they were all looking around the room a lady in a apron and a dress comes out of no where. "Ah!" All of them yell as they see the lady. "Ah!" the lady yells back. "What are you kids doing in here" The lady asks "What are you doing in here?" Braden asks back trying to make a distraction "We accidently locked ourselves out of our room and were wondering if we could stay in this one for a bit?" Jalen asked with a smile on her face. "Very well then. But you will have to help clean" The lady said pointing her finger "Thankyou!" bella said "Yes thank you" They all put after that. The kids swept sweeped, moped, sprayed, flufed, vacumed, wiped and dusted the hole entire room as the lady who they now know of is the cleaning lady was sitting on a chair in the tiny hotel living room reading a fashion magazine.

"Why aren't you helping?" Juels asked "Well because I am not the one asking to stay in this room" The lady said trying make a point " But you get payed for cleaning this room and isn't it your job to clean the room?" "Woooooo no she didn't" Everyone said after jules made that burn. The cleaning lady opened her mouth speechless. Jules walks over and hands her the broom. "Here you go" Jules takes the magazine and sits down and reads while the cleaning lady is now standing up with her mouth still open. Soon the lady started to clean and she cleaned and she cleaned and she cleaned and she cleaned. For hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours... Sooner or later it had been twenty four hours and the lady was still cleaning. Then five more hours later the lady was going to say what everyone thought she was going say that she is done but she said "I am done with the landrey" "Are you serious" Jules says with her jaw open "First you picked up the towles you put them into the wash and then took them out and dried them then put them into the dryer which I don't know why you did because they are done then you took them out of the dryer then you folded them then you hung them on the rack and you did that for nine hours and you finished just now." "I am out of here like out! just out" Jules says with her hands in the air as she is walking out the door in a huf with everyone following behind her "By hope we helped with your cleaning" Bella said before she left "Come on Bella" Jules demanded pulling Bella by the arm. Bella grabbed the side of the trim "if you need any more help I am still here!" Bella yelled as Jules is yanking her out. "Please call me if you do!" with one las pull Jules pulls bella out of the room and the door shuts.

"Well ok where should we go now?" Braden asks "There!" Jules points out. "There? but we don't even know them" Joslyn said frowning "It will be an adventure" Jalen said as she was knocking on the door. "Hello" a high voice comes out comes from in front of them. "Well hello" Bella said back "May we stay here until our parents come back? we have accidentally locked ourselves out of or room." Bella told the little girl politely "Well I don't care come on in" My names lucey by the way" the little girl told everyone with a wink.
