Grandma,” said Jalli, and she put her arms around her. “I’ll miss you.”
    â€œHow long are you going for?”
    â€œThere’s no saying,” said Jack, “but I hope it’s not too long.”
    â€œWill we be walking into a war or anything?” asked Shaun.
    â€œHope not!” replied his mother.
    â€œYou never know, do you?” wondered Bandi.
    As well as the day-time clothes and the stuff for the beach, the cases contained formal evening wear – not too dressed up but still enough to impress Kakko who discovered a fetching dress.
    â€œIt looks like we’re going to a party rather than war,” she said somewhat allayed.
    Soon they were all ready and they took their leave of the two ladies who watched as one by one the family melted through the hedge and were gone. Suddenly it was very quiet.
    â€œThat was an exciting hour,” said Matilda.
    â€œWell, I don’t know about you but I’m ready to sit down to a cup of tea! And then I’ll wander off to the college. You know about fifty percent of the energy comes from Kakko. Bandi hardly says anything.”
    â€œThat bikini quietened her down a bit,” commented Matilda.
    â€œFor about twenty seconds. I’ve seen one like it before. Jalli brought one back with her from this place they’re talking about – nothing she ever wanted to wear in Wanulka. That was their first adventure to somewhere other than this garden you know.”
    â€œYou mean the place they decided they had better tell us what was going on.”
    â€œExactly. I wonder what they have to do as a family this time?”

    As soon as they emerged into the new world, Jalli knew where she was. “Jack it
is
the place we were thinking of.”
    â€œI know, it smells familiar.”
    â€œAnd we’ve come out by the toilets again.”
    â€œYuk!” declared Kakko. “Wow, look at that ocean!”
    â€œGlad we’ve got this stuff on,” said Shaun, “or we’d stand out like anything.”
    â€œThere, over there,” indicated Jalli, “it’s Pero’s restaurant. Gosh it’s changed. It’s still called ‘Pero’s Family Restaurant’ on the front, but beside it and above it is a massive hotel!”
    In small letters at the top it bore a logo saying “Comfort Hotels” and underneath it, down the side of the twelve storey building large blue letters, designed to light up in the dark, spelled, “PERO’S FAMILY HOTEL”.
    â€œJack,” said Jalli, “Mr Pero must have turned his restaurant into a multi-storey hotel.”
    â€œCool,” said Bandi. “You know the owner of this hotel?”
    â€œYes, if he’s still around,” said his father.
    â€œCan we go in?” asked Kakko. Jalli took Jack’s arm and they led their family past some outside tables into the restaurant. They took one of the larger tables and put their cases against the wall. The young people started looking at the menu while Jack and Jalli took in the surroundings. Inside the restaurant, things seemed to have changed little – only now there was a large glass door on the right that led into the lobby of the hotel.
    â€œWow, look at what they have!” exclaimed Bandi.
    â€œYou have just finished breakfast,” said his mother, “you can have a drink but leave the rest until lunchtime.”
    â€œHow come I can read this?” asked Bandi. “Do they use the same language as we do?”
    â€œThere’s some sort of translating going on,” explained his mother. “What we see and hear is what it all means, we don’t experience exactly what the locals see and hear.”
    â€œYou mean, like animals see the same thing but perceive it differently.”
    â€œA bit like that, but not quite. These people are human. Like us they all owe their origins somewhere in the past to Earth One,” explained
