HERE COMES HEAVENLY...
She's cool, she's punk, she's Heavenly, our nanny for my baby brother, Tyler. And she makes magic. So who'd ever believe she is afraid of flying?

Hi, it's me, Kit Rand. I thought I was getting friendly with Jessica Huffington of the fabulously wealthy Huffingtons. Then I found out she was really just using me to get to my gorgeous stepbrother, Chance. So it was sort of a relief to hear that Mom has been offered a big job in Rome and she wanted the whole family to fly over for vacation and see if we liked it. I mean, at least we'd be out of Jessica's reach, right? Mom and Dad had to fly over to Italy first, and Heavenly was supposed to bring us later. But it turned out that not only had Heavenly never been in a plane, she had hardly been out of town! The thought of flying turned her into a basket case! Chance and I had to take over.

Heavenly was so freaked she almost used her magic powers to shut down the airport. But we finally took off, and when we got to Rome, guess who was waiting there for us? Jessica! But then I met handsome Rafael...
