Mandy's hair was wet from her bath.
She heard a knock on her door.
Vinnie came into her room.
"I need to talk to you," he said.
"We can talk tomorrow," Mandy said sleepily.
"It'll be too late.
We have to talk now," Vinnie said.
Mandy sighed. "Okay, what?"
"Jordan and Scarlet are coming over tomorrow," Vinnie said.
"Oh no!" she cried.
Their cousins Jordan and Scarlet were seven-year-old twins.
And they were completely wild!
They loved to play hide-and-seek.
But this game mostly involved poking around in other people's stuff.
"What if they go in the attic?" asked Vinnie.
"We can't let them find the album!" Mandy whispered.
"We have to hide it," said her brother.
Mandy nodded.
Quietly the children went up to the attic, and Mandy picked up the album.
"Where should we put it?" she asked.
She looked around.
But now, Vinnie was thinking of something else.
"Hey, let's take one more trip," he said.
Mandy shook her head.
"I'm too tired, Vinnie."
"But with Jordan and Scarlet here," said Vinnie, "we may not be able to go for a while."
"But I just had a bath," Mandy whined.
"Come on, it'll be fun."
Vinnie took the album from her hands.
He opened it up.
"Wow! Look at this," he said with excitement.
The old man was standing inside a large arena.
The seats were filled with cheering people.
Behind the man was a long stage.
Some things were glowing at the end of the stage.
"What are those?"
Vinnie pointed to the glowing objects.
"I count two of them,"
Mandy said, looking carefully at the photo.
"They look like fish."
"Where do you think this is?" wondered Vinnie.
"We'll soon find out,"
Mandy said, as the glowing light got brighter.
The children's eyes closed as they fell down the dark tunnel.
"Ow!" cried Vinnie.
He banged his knee on something hard.
Mandy landed right beside her brother in front of an arched doorway.
As soon as they stood up, someone touched their arms.
"Move along, children," said a man wearing a long white robe.
"You must not block the entrance."
The children moved aside as some men walked into the large building.
"Wow!" Vinnie cried as he looked around.
"Are we back in Greece?" asked Vinnie.
Everything he saw reminded him of Greece.
"I don't think so," said Mandy.
She tried to look through the doorway.
"Women and girls use the door on the side," the large man shouted.
"You come with me, dear," said a woman.
She grabbed Mandy's arm.
"But . . . but . . . " Mandy tried to explain.
The woman led her away.
