Silence echoed threw the Chosen household as sunlight shimmered threw the windows. It was early in the morning and as usual no one was awake. Or no one was supposed to be awake. However in the kitchen stood the sleepy twenty-two year old Amber Nicollet (cousin to the Chosen’s). Her vibrant red hair was up in a messy bun and she was holding a cup of coffee. She was wearing black sweat pants and an orange top. It was 9 in the morning and Amber still didn’t know how she was going to handle all the “kids” (a lot of them teens) that were coming later on, and she was suppose to be in charge. Not really paying attention Amber didn’t notice someone enter the kitchen.

“Day dreaming Ams?” A voice asked. Turning her head Amber nodded at the person who addressed her. “Nah…just thinking TyTy.” She answered with a warm smile then took a sip of the coffee.

Shrugging at his cousin Tyson Chosen walked over to the table and sat down. He was wearing a gray sweater and jeans. It was a mystery how Tyson was wearing a sweater in such hot weather, but that’s how he was. He had been up for two hours now. It didn’t surprise the 18 year old that his sister and bother were still sleeping; they both had went to bed really late the other night getting things ready. His ice blue eyes scanned the kitchen and rested on his cousin. “Are you still sleepy?” Tyson asked slowly. Watching as Amber nodded her head Tyson sighed. “Alright I’ll be right back.” Standing up Tyson ran out of the kitchen in no time at all her came running back in with something behind his back.

“What do you have there?” Amber asked slowly eyeing his hand. Tyson had just “come back” from his seven year absence two months ago and no matter how much he changed he was still the same person. Still “shifty” Tyty. Which meant; he was up to something.

“Ohhh nothing…you know…just…something.” Tyson replied with a grin then a loud noise rang threw the house. Then before his cousin could do something he ran out. He was sure he’d be back in a few minutes butttt running out was fun.

“TYSON!” Amber yelled laughing. That guy was impossible ringing an air horn threw the house with sleeping children.

Upstairs in one of the bedrooms a 7 year old boy with long blonde was sleeping peacefully until her heard a loud nose like a horn. He didn’t even have to think who did it. “Stupid, Tyson.” Legend muttered rubbing his eyes. Opening his eyes he blinked for a few seconds. It took him a while to remember that he was in fact in his room; and that it had been altered for the guests that were arriving later that day. Rolling out of the bed Legend rubbed his eyes again. The young boy could tell that it was early; just by the fact that he was tired.

Walking over to his closet Legend looked for what to wear. He had to find the perfect “bugging friends” outfit. Taking out a black pair cargo pants (that were too long for him) a white long sleeve shirt and a red t-shirt that said “Mistakes are made by people like you…that must suck”. Legend closed his closet and walked out of his room toward the bathroom. Thirty minutes later he appeared out of the washroom wearing the clothes he has picked out and his trademark goggles around his neck. Running downstairs Legend quietly put on his favorite red and black running shoes and ran into the kitchen. The first thing he noticed was his cousin Amber hitting his “brother” on the head with a notebook. “Hi Amber.” Legend said with a bright smile. “Tyson.” He muttered smile slightly fading.

As Legend entered the kitchen Amber stopped hitting Tyson. The guy was such a prat, but she still loved him. “Hey Legend. Let me guess someone woke you up huh?” She said with a small laugh. She was basically wide awake now, who would have thought that Tyson’s weird tactics would have worked.

“Yeah but it’s all right.” Legend said walking over to fridge and took out an apple. “I’m ‘oing foutside, woont issh mew oww muck.” Legend said after taking a bite of the apple. The he ran out of the kitchen toward the front door. Opening the door and stepping outside and sat down on one of the steps still eating. He couldn’t stay inside waiting for people to arrive, it was just too boring.

Back upstairs 15 year old Alexis Chosen was looking around her room. She had been the last person to wake up in the house; but that wasn’t a surprise. Today however she hadn’t been woken up by the usually knock on her door, or even all the noise Tyson made before 11 o’clock; she had been woken up by that pup of hers barking in her ear. “Now I know how my friends feel when I always scare them.” Alexis muttered looking under her bed for the golden retriever. He had ran off soon after she had woken up. Yawning Alexis stopped looking for the puppy and began to make her bed. There was no pointing trying to find him. With 16 extra beds in the room he could be hiding under any one of them.

Exiting her room to go to the bathroom, Alexis appeared some time later her hair in it’s usually ponytail and she had changed into a lime green hoodie and jeans. Running into the kitchen she gave a quick wave to everyone that was in there. “Hi, hi good morning. I know people are coming today. Ok and I’ll eat breakfast later when its lunch but first I gotta find TK okay? Bye!” She said and rushed back out of the kitchen. It was time to search for that dog.

Finally, they were almost at the Chosen's house. Driving in...a yellow, bus. A mini yellow bus. Her father was driving the mini yellow bus. Insane, right? - Erh, who was she kidding; yeah. Pretty odd. But, it belonged to her uncle. Their group had arrived at her father's brother's house yesterday morning, early, again. And..clearly, this bus belonged to him. She believed he was about as weird as one muggle could get (without coming off as abit loony; honestly the man was very much sane). Savannah's father had wanted to test drive it, and when better then dropping off the kids; they were only about an hour away. According to the letter she'd gotten from Alexis.

The term that had just ended at school, was beyond crazy. Thank goodness the 'victums' were alright, now. That's what mattered most; that, they were alive and they were human again.

"Almost there, dad?" The fifteen year old asked, shifting her side-ways sitting position in her seat. Her newest pet, an italian greyhound dog, sat up calmly beside her. Catching her father's nod, blue eyes glancing back at her very briefly through the front view mirror; Savina let a small anxious sigh, dropping her sandaled feet onto the group and pulled at the bottom of her shirt; the soccer ball print and white and black outlined words 'Goal!' on the front, covered by her zip-up hoodie.

One seat up, and across from her, her neice whom would be turning three just after they got home this summer break, sat leaning against her (first) cousin, Obie. Trying to run the sleeve of her pink, pale yellow-trimmed 'strawberry' sweater through the belt loop of dark jean capri's she wore alike her Auntie 'Vina, by using the one hand that wasn't in her mouth, while still trying to keep her stuffed animal, a husky dog, from slipping onto the floor of the bus.

This was the young ones first time away from her mother, for so long. Whenever she went to Grandma Faith's her mum always came daily for atleast afew minutes; frankly it was comforting to the toddler. But, she did know everyone in the vehicle, and Cousin Obie was even coming - Laih would try keeping her spirits high, and be a strong girl for mummy and Axel-daddy. After all, they had both promised her aunties and uncles and cousins wouldn't leave her alone. She knew her parents were right. Nanu wouldn't be pleased with Auntie 'Vina if she didn't keep a close eye on her, anways. No, Lainie was no dummy. She knew all of this. Lainie Alona Lawley was a very, observant nearly-three-year-old.

Without a doubt, Kaitlynnh won the award for most impatient. Sitting next to the window, in the very back, alongside Julian, Jae and Danny, the eight year olds foot kicked back and forth slipping one of her flipflops on and off; her dad had almost not let her go wearring them, since it had quite a large wedge to them. One thing was certain, this Mae girl loved expressing herself however possible. It shown in her vibrant style. Today, she had chosen to wear three solid colors. Her shoes a very bright orange; her velvet, jogging suit a pretty sky-blue color and tanktop - part of her favorite color: scarlet red.

Huffing in annoyance, the young girl blew hard on a dark curl, wanting it out of the way without actually moving one of her crossed arms. "Hmmph!" Katie pouted, moving to sit up straight from her slanted angle and tucked loose strands behind her ears, reluctantly.

"What's wrong, now, Kat?" Julian calmy asked his fraternal twin sister, looking over the top of a book he held infront of his face. It was one of Katie's fairytale ones, she had asked him to read it to her (even though the girl was very much capable of reading it herself) and the eight year old was an incredible brother to not only put up with his sister's attitude without complaining but kindly entertain her as well.

Bad move - calling her 'Kat'. Definitely not something Katie let slide, not that she did often anways. "Do NOT call me KAT" She yelled, taking an immediate turn from annoyed to anger. "It's KAITLYNNH or KATIE, ONLY" The spitfire made it clear, she did not appreciate being nicknamed. Brown eyes glared at orbs that matched hers quite well, 'Hhmmph!'ing again, her gaze shifted, watching houses pass by. They were close, that was for sure.

"Fare silenzio, Katie" Savannah scolded, throwing her younger sister a quick 'Hush it' look. There was no need for yelling, what made it worse was the poor boy was sitting RIGHT next to her. Kaitlynnh was lucky to have only been told 'Be quiet' in italian, at that, just so few in the car would know exactily what was said.

Ocean blue eyes then traveled onto two boys. One, newly of age, and the other a teenager her own age. "Benny, Dustin. You two have to promise not to go badgering him" 'Him' Refuring to Curtis. She would actually be very happy if they got to know him, but knowing her cousin and brother-in-law, she was afraid the boys would turn it into some interrogation of sorts. That thought only after they were getting ready to leave her uncles, when Dusty had informed her of them wanting to talk to Curt.

Seeing as their dad was slowing the bus to a stop, Julian marked the page and put the book back into his sister's white polkadotted pink backpack and zipped it, yawning as he sat back up and ran a hand through his short blonde locks. He didn't fail to notice Kaitlynnh starting to drift off into sleepy land, but once his dad gave the 'OK' to get up he nudged the curly-haired girl and stood, sliding his arms through the straps of his own green and blue backpack and took Katie's by the top handle too.

Savina was the first off the bus (she didn't fail to slip and miss a step on the way), leveled out with her duffle and messenger bag hanging at one of her sides, and her neices bag on her left. She'd offered to take Jodie's little boy's bag too, but he seemed fine with carrying it himself.

Watching the others climb off the bus, She turned, glancing around for Kari and Tiger. Are they still on the bus? Her question was answered before it was even uttered. The twins traded off, Katie taking her own backpack and Julian taking both pet leashes. Alexis was crazy but so very awesome; The twins and herself were invited, but she had been told to bring the pup and monster too, plus Lex had no problem with the other two little kids coming as well.

"Remember all the rules?" A voice broke her train of thought, the brunette nodded, looking swiftly back to her father. All 95624678 of them! "Yes dad," She responded, putting out a hand for five year old Obie to take as he climbed down the steps. "Forgetting anything?" Scott asked casually, leaning with a hand against the the yellow metal. His daughter raised an eyebrow at him, curious of what she could have forgotten- Everyone was off the bus, Juls had the italian greyhound and orange tabby, and everyone had their bags or someone elses.

"Wai fow meeee!" Lainie exclaimed, watching her steps and jumped from the last, Casa held close to her chest as she struggled with one of her sweater-sleeves, from putting it on so quickly to catch up. "Baiiiiiii, Nanu!" She added, running into her Grandfather's arms and giggled when he picked her up only to follow after his middle daughter, taking Lainie's bag from her while he was at it.

"Don't you have to get goin-" Savannah started puzzledly but stopped mid-sentance to rephrase that, "No, I didn't mean to sound rude; I just meant I thought you leave after dropping us off?" Her cheeks were already colored, and Scott half-smirked, not letting her notice. "Easy to blush, just like your mother, Savina.." He commented, moving to place his free hand on his son's shoulder.

"Daaaaadd-" Oh good merlin, not only had he called her 'Savina' he'd made a remark about her and her mum's similarities. Scott chuckled, "I want to make sure Alexis' cousin knows she has full control over each of you"

Shifting her backpack, Kaitlynnh's head hung, skipping across the lawn and just noticed the seven year old boy sitting on a porch step. A ecstatic smile spread across the young girl's face, her pace quickened immediantely. "LEGENNND!" Just like a wild cat pouncing on its prey, Katie tackled Alexis' brother, hugging him tightly (and yes, she fully well knew his no-hug policy) "Is Kayla here yet?"

"Katie, try not to strangle the boy" Savannah teased, giving Lysander a warm smile as she and Obie reached the younger pair (Her father carrying her neice, right behind her) "Where's your spazzy sis, Ledge?"

The sun had barely shown itself and a small cold breeze could be felt. A tall boy was already walking outside towards what seems a specific location. The street was very quiet. Only few peoples had cross his path but nobody really looked at him which was good since he wanted to keep a low profile.

Vince was wondering how long this was going to take until he reached Lexi's place. He had the instruction in a piece of parchment on how to get there but it was the first time he was in the neighborhood. He had no clue how he managed to get here in such a short time but the important was that he had made it. The funny thing is that he took his time before deciding to go to her place. He thought that might have given a wrong impression if he had rushed there. First he had to be sure that his parents hadn’t tried to find him or wasn’t looking for him which could be a bad thing. He had no idea what would happens if they show up at Lexis place and this was the only way to secured them.

Still wearing the same clothes that he had on him at the time he took the train to leave Hogwarts, he was hoping she wouldn’t notice it but girls seem to notice everything. Lucky for him, he was fortunate enough to have found a way to sneak into an empty house just a day before in order to clean himself. If he didn't, they would probably have asks question about why he was in this shape or anything concerning his dirty clothes. She would probably be ashamed to have such a friend. He was hoping that she wouldn't notice. He wasn't ready to explain it to her or to anyone else.

As he used friend to describe her, he wasn't sure if they truly were. It was true that they went through a strange experience during the school term. From the second time they went to Hogsmeade and that shortly after that some weird symptoms were showing on both of them. He could have bits of memories about the physicals change and the sudden black out as he was running outside of the common room. Some feelings of what might have happen after his blackout was too vague for him to even grasp it. But still the concept of friend was something he couldn't grasp entirely. Then again, he had been through several things that he didn't understand much since he had crossed her path. Something was telling him that this summer wouldn't be much different experience-wise.

As he finally was able to see her home, he leans toward a tree and was wondering when it should be appropriate for him to go knock. He knew that it would seem wrong to go there right away. He wanted to wait until at least some activities would be seen inside or around the house. Putting his trunk next to him, he sat on it and decided to be quiet for a little while.

-----------

It was a quiet morning at the Sulo’s residence. Only the sound of the dog chasing the cat could be heard but soon it was going to change since a busy day was ahead.

As she walks out of her room and toward her baby’s crib, Amelia took a glance toward the doors of her two other kids. This was odd since neither of them was up. She checked up at the clock and decided that she would give them another ten minutes but after that they really had to get up and prepared themselves. Taking Dominic in her arms and making her way toward the kitchen in order to start the breakfast, she was a bit disappointed that Devlin didn’t show up at all last night but then again having an husband as an auror wasn’t always easy.

Melania was only half asleep when she smells something cooking. She wasn't in a rush to get out of bed since she was so comfortable but then something flash in her head. "Oh Merlin!?!" She had completely forgotten that this was today that they were going to go to the Chosen's place and she had nothing ready so far. Bouncing out of bed running all over her bedroom she had no clue where to start or what to bring.

Rushing out of her room in her PJ, she was running toward the kitchen. "MOM?!? Where's my leather bag?? You know the one you bought me last year, the black and pink one." She really wanted that bag since she was sure than one suitcase wouldn't be enough.

Amelia was looking at her daughter with a sort of amusement in her face. She knew that she had put one suitcase and one bag next to her bag but off course she had to have her bag and nothing else. "Well sweetie you most have forgotten that you lost it and if you haven't found it back then I'm afraid I don't know where it is."

Turning her attention toward the eggs that was baking, she took a glance at little Dominic which seems to have fun eating his cereal. Chuckling at the sight of it she looks back at her daughter. "Go back everything else and one your way toward your room could you make sure your brother is awake. The breakfast is almost ready."

Shrugging but not complaining about it, she walks back toward her room but stop in front of her bros room. Barging in the door, she didn't wait to see if he had heard but continue to her room in order to get dress and to finish with all the packing.

Grumbling under is blanket, Mat wasn’t ready to get up just yet. Why did they decide that they had to leave that early in the first place? This was a very bad idea and he was so comfortable, plus all his packing was already done. He had put his collection of wizard’s card inside one of his bag. Hearing someone barging on his door was making him grumpier than he was already. Pushing away his blanket down on the floor, he kicked the door of his room wide open and trailed his way toward the kitchen still looking sleepy.

Letting himself fall down on the chair at the dinning table, he stretched himself in order to get a piece of toast just in time before seeing his sister coming back with a huge suitcase and a bag. Rolling his eyes, he waited for the breakfast to be done.

Kissing her son on his head as she put the plate in front of him, she did the same with her daughter. "Now you guys hurry up. Since you all took too much time to wake up this morning you will use to floo powder." Making sure that they understand her, she turned around and took Dom in her arms. She had to change him before leaving and she was hopping by the time she was done, they will be done too.

To her surprise, as she walks back toward the kitchen with a clean little Dom, she saw that the dishes were still there but the two kids weren't. A few moments have she entered the living room both Melania & Matias walked in with there luggages. That alone was a surprise on it's own too since Melania always took hours to get ready. Making sure that they were properly dressed, she watched them as they disappeared in the fireplace leaving for the Chosen.

Mel was the first one to step out of the Chosen fireplace. Feeling as thought her brother was bumping on her, she looks at him with a frown on her face. At the first sigh it seems to be quiet around. “Lexi!!! Anyone?!?”

Shaking his and pushing away his sister’s luggages. He brushed himself in order to get ridded of the dust that was covering him. Putting his things in front of the fireplace, he was wondering if they got here to soon. He was still to sleepy to make much sound.

Sam Edwards looked out the window of the small school bus, letting the wind run through her reddish brown hair that was in its usual ponytail. She moved a strand away from her mouth and put a hand in her pocket of her dark jeans. Wearing a black t-shirt with ‘Led Zeppelin’in white letters, it was a little faded and a little too big for her. It was one of her dad’s old t-shirts that she adored. Unlike most siblings, she loved wearing hand-me-downs. Old, beat up black-checkered Vans occupied her feet. She loved wearing these shoes.

Hearing her older brother’s name, she looked one seat over. Savannah was asking them to promise her not to bug Curtis. She tired not to smile as she said, “Yeah Benny. Leave them alone.” She knew how Benny and Dustin could be. Especially when they were together. It was a nightmare.


Benny turned to look at Savannah as he heard her say his name. He then let out a chuckle at what she said. He then looked over at Sam who was sitting next to him and began to laugh again. Making eye contact with Dusty, he said, “No worries Vanna Banana. We won’t badger him too much. We just want to talk to him. Right Dust?”

Removing his royal blue baseball cap, he let the gust of wind blow through his brown hair. The hat was so old and faded that it looked ready to be thrown away. But Benny would never throw the hat away. It was one of his favorite possessions he owned. He has worn the hat everyday for as long as he could remember. Just like Sam, he wore dark jeans but he instead of a regular t-shirt, he had on a plaid blue button up shirt. The buttons were open and he had a white shirt underneath.

Benny looked over at Danny who was sitting among the other younger cousins. He smiled back at him then turned back to Savannah. This summer was going to be fun. He needed to plan with Dusty when the girls weren’t around.


Danny opened and closed his big chocolate brown eyes and let a hidden smile fall onto his lips. Katie was yelling again. Surprise, surprise. Something about not calling her ‘Kat.’ He wondered why she didn’t want to be called Kat. He would love to have an animal name. Stretching his legs out in front of him, he tried with all his might for his feet to reach the ground. But, surprise, surprise, his legs were too short. He wore shorts and a regular light blue t-shirt. On the front it had a small #9 on the top. His sandy brown hair was freshly cut and he was ready for the summer to begin.

Danny looked out the window as the bus pulled into the Chosen drive way. He picked up his backpack from the ground and slowly got up from his seat. He waited for the others to get up as well and followed after Jae. “We here.” The seven year old smiled.


Obie Venezula looked up excitedly as the bus rolled to a stop. He jumped up and stood on his seat. “Laih! We’re here!” he shouted excitedly. Letting his Aunt Savannah grab his hand, he followed with much glee off the bus. If she hadn’t been holding his hand, he would have ran off by now. His mom sometimes joked that they needed to put him on a leash.


Seeing that people were walking off the bus, Samantha picked up her book bag and began down the aisle. Letting a few of her cousins go by first she fixed her ponytail before walking outside onto the lawn. They were here! Finally. Seeing KAITLYNNH run and tackle Legend, Sam chuckled. Walking over close behind Savannah she looked around for Lexi. “Yeah where is your sister?” she asked.

Alexis should always be in sight. When she wasn’t she was usually planning something. They all should be watching very carefully for her…

Benny was the last one off the bus. He held in one hand his backpack and the other a cage that held Sam’s kitten inside. Sam was worried Jersey would get stepped on during the ride over, so she put her in the cage. Jersey was not liking it one bit. The calico hated being held and hated even more being put into cages.

Walking over to where most of them had began to crowd; he set her down next to Sam. Letting the cage open, he watched as she immediately ran out. He kept her in eyesight though. She stopped somewhere near Tiger and began to sniff out the new animal she didnt know.

The sun shone brightly on the bright pink sports car as it drove down the lane, driving down the highway as music blasted from the radio. The tenaged girl bobbed her head to the music as a small boy in the back seat whined loudly. Ariana Castior, fresh from her fifth year at Hogwarts played with her cat Ginger as she curled up in the girls' lap.


"Do you have to have it that loud?" William asked in a nasily voice as she shook his head, glaring at his cousin rhe front seat. The nine year old boy shook his head again, his short blonde hair catching the cool breeze as the car sped down the road. "Where are we going again" He asked sulkily.

Ariana, who had been singing along to the Muggle music laughed hysterically and turned to look back at her cousin, "Will knock it off, you know I'm in a desperate state right now. Let me have my fun." She would have whined, if her mother hadn't been sitting beside her chucking slightly."We're going to my good friends house, that's where. You ask too many questions Will." Ari replied shaking her head drastically, letting her now long brown hair fall into place.

"Don't call me Will, it's William!" William exclaimed as he kicked the front seat. He couldn't help but laugh as he saw her fall face first into the dash board, almost hitting herself. "Watch where you're falling klutzoid!" William teased as he laughed.

"William Andrew Millius Cullack, stop teasing your cousin, you know she's been through enough." Emily Castior chatised the nine year old, "And please don't argue it's a long enough trip as it is. Ari, can you pass me the water bottle please?" She asked, turning to look at her 16 year old daughter with a warm smile.

"Sure mom." Ari replied grinning as she handed her the bottle. She had been through enough this past year and wanted nothing better than to forget about it. Forget about the pain, forget about the nightmares she had been having, and more importanly forget there was even a wizarding school for a few months. She still needed to talk to her mother about her future, letting her know she didn't want to do what she did but instead care for the creatures she'd be working with.

William glared at his aunt, wanting to say something rude but knowing better. "Sorry Ariana" He muttered turning to look out the window seeing the landscape pass by.

The journey lasted a few more miles, and a solid silence filled the sports car. The only sound was the rock band which Ari had grownf fond of over the last few weeks. William wondered how this vacation would turn out, knowing his cousin would not let anything happen to him even though they didn't get along too well, well that was the whole piont of the trip he thought.

---

An hour later Emily pulled up to the house whistling softly. The sun shone brightly over it and the grounds around it were perfect for a summer break. She turned off the engine allowing the silence to pierce the car before turning to look at her daughter. "Honey you know you dn't hve to stay, you can come home with me you know." She said,a hint of saddness in her voice.

Ari smiled at her mom, carefully waking up Ginger with a small poke as she tried finding the words. How do you tell your mother you don't want to be pampered all summer, but instead meet new people and have fun? "I'll be fine mom, I know most of the people I'll be with. And besides Will here needs to get into the groove of hangin out with older wizards and witches." She replied, grinning behind her.

"Stop calling me Will!" William shouted, growling slightly as he began to open the car doon, knowing there would be a mushy mother-daughter moment coming. He quickly got out and slammed the door, staring in awe. "Wow, this place looks cool!!" He muttered to himself.

She sat there for a few minutes, knowing what was to come and smiled at her mom as she hugged her tight. "Tell Joshua I love him and hug him tight for me okay?" She asked, smiling gleefully as she opened the door and popped the latch for the boot.

Emily smiled warmly at her daughter as she jumped out of the car and went to get her luggage. She turned to see william standing there in awe, his mouth hanging open slighlt.y "Hey William, close your mouth before the flies come in." She teased getting out as well.

She walked around to face hrer daughter and nephew and hugged them both, planting a wet kiss on William cheek before laughing as he wipped it off. "You two have fun okay? I don't want an Owl saying you blew up all the toilets William." she said looking at him briefly before turning back to the house. "Well, I should get back, you know how long it is to drive back. Have fun and owl me if you need anything." She said, getting teary eyed, making Ari groan slighly.

"I'll keep an eye on him mum please you're embarassing me." Ari replied giggling slightly as she hugged her tight. Picking up Ginger she turned, heading for the house and waving bye to Emily as she got back in the car. "Come on William, lets go." She called out to the still stunned boy. She couldn't help but chuckle as he shook his head and hurried up to stand beside her at the door. "Go ahead knock." She encourage, nodding to the door.

Large, elated, dark brown eyes looked out the front passenger window of the blue mini van that was traveling towards the Chosen household, and to the two younger girls that sat behind her, both looking just as excited as she was. Alicia rested her elbows on her dark wash jean-clad knees as she waited to arrive at Alexis’s house.

”Dad,” she said, looking to her left, at the dark blond-haired man that was her father, ”How much longer, do you think?” She was asking for both herself, and her little sister and cousin in the back seat. ”Uh, Garrett Cruze glanced around at his surroundings, ”About ten minutes or so.” Alicia grinned and nodded, then moved her elbows from her knees, favoring crossing them over the white, short sleeved pop over hoodie she had over her peach-colored tank top.

Lic was a bit impatient, she knew that much. But she had had seen practically zero of her friends since last summer, and she was past ready to get to Alexis’s house.

Massie Cruze, always the quieter, more bookish one out of her and her sister, glanced up from the book that was sitting in her lap as Alicia asked the long-awaited for question. She looked to her right- at her younger cousin Mackayla, whose hazel eyes were wide with excitement- and squeezed her arm lightly. ”Ready, Kay?” she asked with a grin, and only saw the younger girl nod vigorously. Mass placed her bookmark into her book, and put the book in the purple book bag that sat at her feet.

She wore her favorite lilac-colored tank top with Khaki shorts, her blonde hair tied up into a messy but secure bun at the nape of her neck.

Mackayla looked down at the black cage that held Alicia’s white cat, Tricky. She sighed, as the houses whizzed by, the mini van nearing the Chosen’s house quickly. She tugged on the straight black locks that sat simply on her shoulders, and adjusted her light blue t-shirt. She couldn’t wait to see Katie, Legend, Danny, Jae… Everyone, actually, all the friends that she had met last summer, and the new ones that she would be meeting this summer. ”Two minutes,” she heard her uncle causally announce from the front of the car. A second later, or so it felt, she heard Alicia squeal softly, and felt the car turn into the driveway, and the eight year old knew that they were at Legend’s.

Alicia bolted out of the door, and towards Savannah and Sammy, who were standing by Legend and Kaitlynnh. She’d get her bags in a moment. Friends were more important. The sixteen year old walked as quickly and quietly as she could, then through one of her arms around each of her friends. ”Sammy! Vanan!” She squealed happily.

Mackayla waited for Massie to get out of the car before running as quickly as her little legs could take her towards Katie and Legend. She grinned at them wordlessly and hugged Katie, unsure whether or not to hug Legend just then, but knew that the boy had a hug coming in the near future.

Massie too, got out of the car as quickly as possible, stopping only to sling her bag over her shoulder and pick up Tricky’s cage as she made her way towards the group of people. She looked back at her father, and chuckled as she saw him trying to take out all the luggage from the back of the mini van.

Kind of surprised to see a big yellow bus pull up near there house Legend took another bite of his apple and wondered who could that be. It didn’t take him long to guess. Who had such a big family that they need a big yellow bus? The Mae’s obviously. Wondering if he should go get his sister before they had noticed him he sighed as he heard Katie’s voice. Too late. As Katie pulled him into a tight hug he tried to push her away. Ewwww he was getting hugged by a girl! He didn’t want cooties! “Erg! Katie gerrof me!” Legend said still trying to push her away. He would have probably yelled at her by now but he wasn’t stupid, he noticed her dad standing there and there was no way he was gonna get in trouble. Finally pushing the girl off him he brushed off his arms. Simply disgusting, Katie knew he hated hugs. “No you guys are the first to arrive.”

“Hey Savannah, hey Juls!” Legend said a smile appearing on his face then turning to the other people in the Mae family. “Hi Sammy, hi Danny! Hi Sammy’s and Danny’s older brother. Hi…other kid.” He said; what it wasn’t his fault! He didn’t know their older brothers name or the kid that looked about 5. “Hello Mister Mae…anndd…the baby!” He said excitedly. That was Katie’s niece right? “Can I play with the baby Mister Mae?” Legend asked walking up to the man. He LOVED babies!

“I have no clue where Lex is….but I bet she’s somewhere chasing TK.” He answered still staring at Lainie, and not noticing more people staring to arrive.

Still running around the house chasing TK Alexis didn’t really pay attention to Amber’s yelling, she was probably just complaining about her breaking something. No big deal. Walking into the living room she wondered if he had snuck into here without her noticing. As green flames erupted from her fireplace she jumped back, forgetting for a moment that she was in fact a witch and these things were pretty normal. “Melania, Mat hey!” Alexis said excitedly and giving them both a hug. She hadn’t seen Mel and her brother in a long time. Mel didn’t go to her school but they knew each other through their fathers. “Common I think people have started to arrive!” She said just before getting a glimpse of TK. “AH HA!” She yelled running after him then stopped. “Common, common! Leave you’re things where they are we don’t wanna lose him he’s heading outside!” She said then ran out side.

Walking outside Tyson wasn’t really surprised by the number of people already here. Lex had said a lot of kids would be coming. Noticing a boy leaning against a tree with a trunk he wondered if this was one of Alexis’s friends. “Hey dude, party’s over there just so you know.” He said with a small laughing pointing to the clump of people as he walked over to him. “Erm..I’m Tyson by the way Lexi’s and Legend brother.” Not many people knew this…ok probably no one. So he thought it would be good to introduce himself.

Blinking Alexis was surprised by the number of people already here, the place was already starting to seem like a zoo. Cool. She was just about to announce her presence when she noticed TK run up to Alicia and start to lick her. Rolling her eyes she smiled. Clearing her throat she looked around…sooo much people to greet, better get started now. “Hey Ari his is you’re cousin right?” She said with a wave to her friend’s cousin and gave a hug to Ari. She had just meat Ariana this year and she seemed really cool…a little quite sometimes. Hehe maybe that was because she ate worms last term. Alexis also wanted to greet everyone else but doing this one at a time was much easier….right?

Rounding the corner from the back of the house Amber shook her head. It wasn’t like she hated chaos. It was actually pretty fun, but the thought of trying to keep up with all these kids and teens scared her. Putting a hand on her little cousins’ shoulder she shook her head. “No playing with the baby Leg. She isn’t even a baby, she’s a toddler. Go play with kids your own age.”

Sticking his tongue out and Amber she grumbled and walked away, he had just noticed that Kayla had arrived. “Hey Mickey!” He said giving a wave to Alicia and Massie. “OI! Jae, Danny, Katie and anyone else who is under 10 come over here!” He yelled. Amber did tell him to play with kids his own age!.

Smiling at her brother Alexis decided to follow his approach. “HEY EVERYONE!!!! Hi.” She yelled, a big smile on her face. So much easier than greeting everyone by their selves.

At last, summer had begun for Rapunzel. And with that, of course, came spending time with the grandparents.

Swell.

At least this summer she would get to visit some friends. Er, at least, friends of friends.

Rapunzel smiled to herself as the long, black limousine rolled to a stop in front of the Chosen home. Her curious green eyes were eagerly trying to catch a glimpse of everyone outside but it was hard to see through the tinted windows. She smirked to notice her stern grandfather doing the same thing.

"Well, I guess we're here," Punz muttered softly. "I'll just get my things." She made a movement for the doorhandle but stopped when she heard her grandfather clear his throat meaningfully.

"Hold on just one moment, young lady," Victor began in his somber tone reserved for long lectures and 'business' proposals.

Rapunzel turned towards him, smoothing out her dark blue jeans and short-sleeved violet blouse. "Yes?"

"You realize that I expect the very best behavior from you, and your...friends," he continued somberly, finally turning from the window to stare at her with cool, grey eyes.

"Yes sir," Punz mumbled, doing her best to hold back an eyeroll.

"And I also expect an owl from you every few days, as you know how little I trust....ah, Italy," Victor raised one silver eyebrow.

Of course I know what you're insinuating, Rapunzel thought darkly. She did her best to keep a straight face, however, and merely nodded in reply. The sooner the lecture was over, the sooner she could see her friends and meet some new ones.

"Alright, then," Victor finished, turning away from Rapunzel and lowering the privacy glass between the back of the limo and the driver. "Santino, the girl's bags...."

Rapunzel rolled her eyes then at her grandfather's snobbiness and was about to open the door herself when it sprung open on its own. "Thanks Sonny," she said cheerfully, winking at the chauffeur. Of course he merely blinked at her and then moved to get her luggage.

"Here you are, miss," the driver motioned to her purple trunk, canvas messenger bag, and Archimedes' owl cage carefully stacked in the driveway. "Enjoy your visit." He bowed politely, even sweeping his cap off, then turned briskly and headed back to the limo.

Rapunzel swung her messenger bag across her body and stood by her luggage, watching carefully until the limo had exited the driveway. Once it was gone from sight, she let out a long sigh of relief and then turned towards the house.

Merlin, what a crowd! Punz thought, a grin breaking out on her face. She heard someone shout hello and thought to reply. "HALLO!" she called, waving at the girl who had shouted a warm welcome.

Oh yes, summer was here at last.

Sam smiled as she saw cars begin to arrive. Suddenly she felt an arm wrapped around her and Vannah. She looked back around and saw Alicia. She had barely seen her at all last term. "LIC!" she said excitedly and hugged her again. She was so happy to see her older friend.

Seeing Ariana begining to walk up with a little boy, Sam waved her hand at them. "Ari!" she said and met her half way. She hadnt seen her all term either, but that was for other reasons. She gave the Ravenclaw a hug and smiled down at the little boy. "Hi. Im Sam." she introduced herself to him.

Danny turned when he heard his name. He saw the blond headed boy with the name of Legend. And a Legend he was. Walking over to him, he adjusted his back pack on his shoulder and stopped in front of him. "Hey Leg." he said happily. With Legend around the house was never going to be quiet. Or more like Katie was never going to be quiet.

Watching as Alexis' golden retriever run up and begin to lick Kayla's sister, Danny let out a small chuckle. If Kayla's sister was here, then that mean Kayla should be here. Finally he spotted the black hair. "Hi Mackayla." he smiled shyly. He knew Kayla, but she still made him blush. He didnt really understand why though...

Benny frowned when he saw a man about his age walk out the door of the Chosen's house. Didnt Alexis only have one brother? He was a little confused about that. He walked over to where Sam was talking to two of her friends and Vannah. "Hey. Who is that guy?" he asked.

Obie looked around with a small gleam in his eye as people began to arrive. He didnt know anybody here accept for his cousin Lainie and his Aunt Vannah and the twins. But he was in no way shy. The more people began to talk to each other, the more hyper he was begining to grow.

He grabbed little Lainie's hand and took off running. Well sort of, he had to slow down a little because of her little legs. "Come on Laih! Lets run!" he said enthusiasticly. He had a lot of energy and he just felt like running.

Sam turned when she saw Benny walk over. She looked around to the man he was talking about and noticed how blue his eyes were. She didnt recognize him. "Hmm...I dont know." Sam replied. Should she know? Was that maybe...no. Maybe he was. No...

"Maybe he is just one of Lexi's friends." Sam said. He is a little old to be her friend, but who else could he be? She knew Lex didnt have that many cousins...Who the heck was he?

Ari grinned as she saw Lexi and made her way towads her, her green eyes bright. "Hey Lexi, how are you?" She asked, it was a dobuble question but she knew Lexi would know that. She hugged her tight and tyhen looked to her cousin, "This is William, don't call him Will or Bill though he hates that." she chuckled ruffling his hair.

William, who had been looking at a girl blinked when Ari ruffled his hair, "Hey, get off it Ari!" he exclaimed, sticking his tongue out ather before turning to the girl she had been talking too. "Oh yeah I'm William, that's William not Will or Bill." He said nodding as he grinned.

Ari sighed shaking her head as she turned back to Lexi, "Sorry 'bout that he's annoyed right now." She replied as she looked around the place putting down her bag which moewed angrily. "woah, almost forgot Ginger hope you don't mind that I brought her, she's clingy right now." She said just as another voice called her name.

She turned and saw Sam and another huge grin crosesed her face, "Sam!" she cried out, going up and huging her tight. "It's been forever hasn't it?" She asked, before chuckling.

"Who're you?" William asked sarcastically as another girl came walking up to Ariana and began speaking to her. His brown eyes blinked and he spun around in a circle, looking for someone his own age. He had no problem making friends, though for some reason they never liked his jokes or pranks. And why not, they were hilarious.

"Will! This is Sam and you have to respect her." Ari chatised her cousin while throwing Sam an apologetic look. "Sorry about that Sam. So how've you been? I missed you last term." though there was a good resason for that she knew.

A small meow interupted Ari reunion with her friends and she looked down, sighing as she picked up Ginger who immediatly crawled onto her shoulder. She had missed her master though the new smell she could do without.

Mel squealed loudly as she saw Lexi stand in front of her. She had to contained herself from jumping. She was so excited to be here that when her friend hugged her, she almost squashed her. For her, it had been ages since the last time they spoke which was something she was hopping wouldn't happen again. "Lexi!! How have you been girl?" She wanted to have all the latest detail, everything that might intertained her.

Giving her back her hug which wasn't something he usually would have done since he was no hugger, he rolled his eyes at the way his sister was acting. "What's up Alexis?" Looking around, the first thing he wanted to see was Legend but it seems he wasn't there. "Where's Legend?" As he said that, he heard his friend voice and this was the cue he was waiting for. "LEGEND!!"

He was about to run toward him when he noticed two guys standing outside near a tree. One of them seems to be staring at the house. "Yo Alexis! Who's those dudes outside? Anyone you know?"

Mel who had to see what her brother was talking about took a glance at the outside. Those guys sure looks cute. Giggling and looking at Lexi she couldn't help but say: "I wouldn't hurt them." A mischievous smiled appear on her face as she was following her friend. Walking outside along side her friend, she now could have a better look at the two cute guys she saw earlier. Going toward a bunch of other kids she didn't knew she smiled at them. "Hey everyone!! I'm Melania but you all can call me Mel."

Not wanted to hear about anythings is sister was probably going to go blab about, he runs straight toward Legend. "Hey dude! How is going?!?" He could see that many others had comes and he didn't knew mostly none of them if you didn't count the Chosen. He was ready to have fun nonetheless.

Vince wasn't expecting someone to go to him. He was only going to wait there until he could see some life in there and perhaps if he had the courage and not turning and leaving without them even knowing of his presence. Now that someone was aware of he was there, he had no choice to go there. Of course he could pretend he was lost and just walks away but he didn't feel like doing that. "That's cool. I wasn't sure if I was too early or anything......" By the looks of the other guy, he was probably older than him but not by much. Not wanted to provoke him, he nodded at him in a salutation manner. "I'm Vince, a friend of your sis."

Grabbing his trunk, he was about to go there but turn to face Tyson. "Are you going in or do you have to go somewhere?"

Dustin Phoenix smiled mischievously at Savannah then at Benny and nodded. "We won't do anything...too bad," he assured her. Yeah, that wasn't much of a reassurance coming from him, but it was a start. What she didn't know was that he didn't really plan on embarrassing her much, or Curt for that matter. He did want her to be happy, but she was his sister after all and he was extremely protective of her.

Following Ben off the bus, the newly turned fifteen year old looked around and greeted everyone in his path. "Where's Curt?" he whispered to Benny, in attempt to suppress his laughter. Much luck with that Dust. He was already overwhelmed with laughter. This summer was going to be great, he could already tell.

Valencia Phoenix rolled her eyes at her brother as she too got off the bus and walked swiftly beside Savannah over to everyone else. She said her hellos and whatnot then stood by and listened to all of the lively conversation. She would be eighteen in about two weeks, having just graduated from Hogwarts. She was pretty sure with her career path and she was acting more and more like a young woman than a little girl. No matter how much Axel hated it, his little sister was growing up. Dusty was hating it too. The older she got, the closer she would be to moving out.

Smiling down at her young friend Sammy, Vee's eyes welled up momentarily then they quickly went back to normal. She was definitely feeling sad that she graduated and she would no longer be at Hogwarts with her best friends. True, Dusty would be transferring, which she liked much better, but it still wasn't the same. She actually had to get a job now. Yuck.

Jae Maguire hopped happily off the bus, bag over his right shoulder and rugby ball under his left arm. He grabbed Danny's hand with his free hand and ran over to where Legend was calling them to. "'Ello mates," the young boy greeted. He had an extremely thick Irish brogue, so he was even surprised that people understood him. But his friends always knew what he was saying, and that was the only thing that mattered to him.

Liam, his little brother, wasn't too keen on the idea of leaving him at home with his little sister and twin babies: a boy and a girl. But Jae had insisted that he would be gone for only a few weeks and Liam had reluctantly let him go.

On hearing Ben ask who that guy was, Dusty shrugged as well. "Why don't we find out then?" he asked mischievously. He looked over to hi s sister, who was pretty much standing there and he nudged her gently. "Everything alright?" he asked quickly in Spanish.

Vee snapped out of her reverie when she heard an all too familiar voice. "Oh, oh yes I'm fine. Finally coming to the realization of my graduation, but I'm fine," she too spoke in Spanish, her voice a little shaky.

Savannah abruptly turned at a oh so familar squeal of her and her cousins names, "LICCIEEE!" She squealed in response, letting go of Obie's little hand to hug the soon-to-be sixth year. Words couldn't discribe how much she had missed her, and how happy she was now was bursting through her almost.

Kaitlynnh started giggling, completely ecstatic that the girl she had just asked for was hugging her. "KAAYYY!" There was no need for that exclaiming with the poor girls ear so close, but it was my mistake out of excitement as she clung to her tightly; forgetting all about Legend for the moment.

Hearring her sister say something about saying hello to everyone else too, Katie released Kayla reluctantly and spotted Mackayla's cousin, the one that went to Beauxbatons with Madi. Of course her first reaction to run over and hug her tight, which she did. "Maaaass!" She beamed, "Hii!"

Chuckling, Scott set Lainie down on her own two feet, giving his granddaughter one last hug and whispered words of encouragement to her before straightening up to face Amber. "Sure you can handle all of them?" He asked abit uncertain, she herself looked pretty young. Then again witches and wizards always appeared younger than muggle folks, so he couldn't be sure.

Hugging Ari next, Savannah was glad to see her smiling again. "Ariii! I'm so glad you came, too." Admittedly she had been worried the girl wouldn't, only because of the past events at school. Ocean blue eyes turning on the younger boy with Ariana, she smiled. Remembering the picture she had been shown, "Heyloo there, William?" She greeted, still in her same spastic mood. "I'm Savannah; Your cousin told me abit about you, since you'll be joining us at Hogwarts in my last term"

Kaitlynnh didn't know how her fraternal twin brother was still standing between their dad, and older sister. After basically tackling Massie, Katie waved for her to follow, she kicked off her very thick wedged flipflops and picked them up before running over to the growing group. Practically tackling Juls, but jumped on his back. "I'm going to Hogwarts TOO! Right after Anna, I start!" The eight year old had to make that clear, smiling such a bright smile.

"And this would be my little sister, and brother, Kaitlynnh and Julian." Vannah added, introducing her twin siblings to Ariana and William. "Katiecub, Julbug; This is one of my best friends, Ari, and her cousin William."

Julian had no clue were Tiger had run off too, Katie had let go of the leash after she had taken it again, and Kari was sticking beside her owner. The eight year old grunted, almost falling flat on his face but luckily caught his balance sooner after Katie jumped onto his back.

Sighing in relief when she slipped down onto her feet Juls left both their backpacks in the grass. Attention turning to his older sister then her friend, Julian waved politely with a "Nice to meet you." Brown eyes lingered for a moment on Savannah's friend and friend's cousin, before traveling in Legend's direction. "Anna, goin over there-" He told the fifteen year old pointing towards Lysander to show her were they would wander off too, and nudged Katie on the way.

Katie nodded a yes to Juls, signaling she'd come in a moment. "Nice to meet you, two." She spoke politely, brushing a dark curl from infront of her eyes. "Are you going to come?" She asked the nine year old, wondering if he would join the rest of the younger kids. "Can he come?" Katie asked, now looking up at Ari, then back at William. "Is it Billie or Willie..or whats your name again?" Kaitlynnh blurted out, confusedly. She hadn't been paying much attention before, so of course she hadn't caught Vannah say his name.

Noticing Valencia looked sad, Lainie tugged at her hand until she got her to bend down to her height, and kissed her Auntie's cheek then patted it gently "No sad Aunie Vee, we ish gonna hab fun!" She said eagerly, large brownish greenish orbs watching the young woman carefully. "I ish going to pway now, no cwy Aunie" Laih reminded her once more as Obie took her hand and suggested they go running.

"Otay Cous Obieee," Lainie giggled, trying her hardest to keep up with the five year old. She was quite abit smaller, being only almost three. It was easy to forget that though, with how quick and intelligent she was for such an extremely young age. "AHH! How on, Casa!" She exclaimed, halting immediantly in her tracks as she realized the stuffed husky dog wasn't in her arms anymore. Laih frowned, placing a finger to her chin as she scanned the ground.

William had been thinking of how he could sneak away and go climb some trees without being noticed when yet another one ofhis cousins friends came up to her and hugged her, almost daintily. He began to wonder just what exactly had happened to her but knew better than to ask. Instead his eyes fell onto a girl who the older girl had called Kaitlynnh. She seemed like someone he could get to know andby the looks of it they'd be goig to Hogwarts together which wass good. Perhaps Auntie Emily was right in saying the trip would be good for him. Being poliete he bowed at Kaitlynnh and said, "Hello, you can call me Willie if you want." He winked and grinned in his adorable way before looking at the other boy who looked to be the same age. "You have a twin? That's so cool!" He exclaimed looking between the two.

Ari almost squealed with delight as she saw Vannah and hugged her tight, finding her spastic mood uplifting. She had felt bad for how she had acted during their last weeks at shool though she had a good reason for it. "Hey no hard feelings over last term right?" She asked, leaning in close so no one else could hear. She hadn't meant to act like she did but hey she had been, well she tried not thinking about it anymore and just tried to have fun. And hey, she was in Italy, her dream come true, right?

Hearing a voice she looked down and grinned again. "Hey Kaitlynnh it's good to see you again. You've grown a lot!" she exclaimed, not having seen the youunger sister of her best friend since two years ago. She turned her head, tilting it slightly as she heard William begin his normal routine. Groaning slightly she shook her head and warned the young girl "Be careful around William, he's a little flirt." she winked and giggled.

"I am not!" William declared winking at Katie again before grinning. "So, whatare we doing right nw? Where's the food? Where am I sleeping?" the questions began to pour out ofh is mouth as he looked only at Katie, his eyes sparkling merrily.

Ari laughed merrily, ruffling William hair aagain as she turned to look at Vannah, "He's a chatterbox he is." She said shaking her head as she continued to hold Ginger, who was purring contently.

"Are You sure- You know where we are going. Mum" Sarah Corner asked her Mum for the thousand time that day, looking out the window. It seemed like they had been driving since forever. She looked down at the Parchment in her hand again- How were they suppose to know- If they were going right?Her Mum never drove- Well until this morning, It had surprised Sarah when her Mum had told her that she could actually drive these Muggle Cars- and the bigger surprise was that Dad had taught her to do that.

Hearing about her Dad still mae Sarah go in awe. It was amazin'- How cooool he had been.

"Mum are you really sure-?"The 14th year old asked again biting her lower lip- as they took another turn.

"Sarah Jayne, You ask me that question one more time, and am taking you back,"Julliane Corner threatened her only daughter.

"Sorrry-"Sarah muttered, before looking out the window again and she jumped. "Mum I see thme- I see them.. Look there is Vannah and her sister Kaaats," All the excitemnt that had worn out Sarah because of the looooooooooong Journey seemed to fill Sarah up one more time- when she saw her friends. Now this was going to be fun, Ofcourse Sarah might not know a lot of people there- But they way Vannah had told her about it all- It sounded and Sarah was sure it would be FUN!

As soon as the red Jeep that Jullaian Corner was driving stopped behind the Yellow Bus, Sarah jumped out the car. First of all, Sarah was too tired of sitting in that one position since like forever and well seeing Vannah and Saaaamm seemed to charge Sarah up for some reason.

So no excuses for Jumping out the car.

"Sarah, Watch it- "Before Mrs. Corner could say something- Sarah was already jumped off the car and she huffed. When will she ever learn?.

Sam couldnt stop smiling as she stood before Ariana. It has been probably two years since she has really seen her. Well technically she sort of saw her during term. It was only the last few days of school when she found the bald eagle that she had talked to was actually Ari. It amazed her. Even as a bird she was mysterious and quiet. Unlike Alexis who was eating Vannah's cookies.

When the little boy came over and asked who she was, she chuckled. "Its ok Ari. My name is Sam." she said to the little boy with a wink. She then shifted over as Savannah came to say her hellos. She watched as the twins walked over to William and began to talk. He was going to fit in pretty fast. It was not hard at all to find somebody to talk to here.

Benny turned to look at Dusty and gave him a shifty smile as he asked where Curt is. "I dont think he is here yet. He better show up. I want to meet this Hufflepuff." he said with a chuckle. He promised Sam he wouldnt be bad, but he didnt promise her that he wasnt going to scare him a little. He was after all very protective of his family.

On hearing that they should go find out who the man was, Benny let a slow michevious smile play on his lips. "What do you have in mind Dust?" he asked. Knowing Dusty, they werent just going to go up to him and introduce themselves. He was probably planning on something grand so he would never forget them. Oh wait! They needed to save that for Curt...

Danny let Jae take his hand as they made their way over to Legend. He then watched as two new kids (one around his age and the other around Sam's age) came over to them. The boy seemed to already know Legend. He heard the girl introduce herself as Mel, but she wasnt really talking to them. She was more with Alexis.

Growing shy, Danny began to turn his usually pink color. "My name is Danny." he introduced himself quietly. He didnt know if the boy heard him, but then again, he wasnt really talking that loud.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeheeee!" Obie squealed as they ran. He slid to a stop as Lainie stopped and said she had to find Casa. He began scanning the ground, looking around with her. Spotting it by her bag, which was by Savannah, he pointed. "Casa! There Laih!" he said and took her hand again. This time running toward the stuffed huskie.

Skidding to a halt, the five year began to erupt in giggles as he waited for his little cousin to grab her stuffed animal. "Hey Laih. Did you know Casa means house in spanish?" Obie was fluent in english and spanish. His papa had taught him spanish when he was younger. He was still learning, just like he was still learning to speak english correctly.

Sam looked over at Valenica as she heard a muttering behind her. She couldnt understand what they were saying and realized they werent speaking english. She looked up at her older friend and saw that she looked a little sad. "Hey Ve. Whats up?" she asked with a cheery smile, but still held concern in her chocolate brown eyes.

With a very light pop, two figures apparrated in a dark ally that wasn't too far from their destination. They were obviously two guys, one of them considerably older than the other. The younger of the two was Curtis Diggory, a fifteen year old Hufflepuff who had just graduated his fourth year at Hogwarts. He was accompanied by his older brother, Jared Diggory, (who had done the apparrating) who was about six foot tall, give or take, with dark brown hair and brown eyes... and shared a very small resemblance to his younger brother.

As Curt finally hit solid ground again, he blink a few times as his head was spinning, he really hated side-along apparation. He looked up to his older brother with a frown on his face as he started to walk out of the ally into the bright sunlight. "Really Jared, couldn't we just apparate into the Chosen's actual house?" Curt asked with a shrug, he didn't walk down this street in the middle of the day for some reason, and he really didn't know exactly why.

Jared looked around the dirty alleyway, praying that there were no muggles hanging around because his memory charms were less than sub-par. He sighed in relief when he realized that it was just him and his baby bro Curt. Jared laughed slightly as he listened to little Curt whine about having to walk a few blocks, "Don't sweat it Curt, its rude to just apparate into a person's dwelling. Plus, most wizarding families have anti-apparition jinxes on them anyway." he finished, with a smirk. Despite making pretty awful grades at Hogwarts, Jared definately had some smarts about him, he just didn't try very hard in his school work.

Curt shrugged slightly at what Jared said, "Yeah....whatever." he said, making his way down the street in stride with his older brother. Curt kicked a rock a good ways ahead of them just to amuse himself as he looked back up to Jared, "I thought you were supposed to be getting a job...what happened with that?" Curt asked, with a laugh. He knew Jared always found 'better' things to do.

Jared shook his head to the little bit of his younger brothers cheek and continued on, thinking of how many people might be at the Chosen's household. He was twenty seven years old, maybe someone was around his age that he knew? Frowning to his brothers question, Jared shrugged, "Yeah, I was going to apply at the ministry but I opted not to. I have been thinking about moving to Romania though to work with Dragon's, I think that job would fit me just fine." he said with a nod, sounded adventurous and that was just the kind of think Jared enjoyed. As Jared looked ahead, he spotted the Chosen’s household, well what he thought was the Chosen’s household. Yeah, it did seem to fit the description pretty well. After another moment or so, Jared found himself outside of the Chosen’s house, with his little brother Curt right next to him. And yup, the place really was swarming with people. “Looks like this is it dude.” Jared said with a grin; fact of the matter was, Jared is still a kid at heart.

Curt’s eye’s widened as Jared mentioned that he was thinking about working with dragons, that would be so awesome! “Jared that would be awesome. I’d come down and visit you all the time of you did that. Seriously…” Curt said, with a grin. Dragon’s really fascinated him, and he had always wanted to be up close to one, knowing that he wasn’t in too much danger. Curt nodded as Jared mentioned that they were finally here, “Yeah, come on you’re meeting everyone.” he said with a grin as he walked on to the lawn with his older brother following tentatively behind him. He spotted Savannah facing the opposite direction so Curt creeped up behind her and suddenly wrapped his arms around her head, blocking her vision. “Guess who.” he said in his usual voice, with an absolute note of humor in it.

"WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU TAKING US?!?!?##?" Jumping up and about in the front passenger seat of A black Escalade, Kylator shouted to the oldest brother, who, in his words, had his 'muggle license' and wanted to take some detour to the Chosen's house. "I mean seriously dude! you're going to kill us all crashing into that next tree!" Stupid Seth and his dare devilic moments.

"Stop with all the whining, you dont see Tails screaming do you?" Seth smirked widely, taking the next turn onto A paved road. "How is everyone doing back there doing anyway?" Yet, seth wouldn't take the chance to take A glance back at the two girls for he was over the speed limit, which was 57, and he was doing about 70 MPH.

The funny thing was, Tailynne was having the time of her life; watching cows fly by like crazy out the window. "GO FATER SEEEEETH!" SHe squeeled in joy, jumping up and down in her seat, or trying to as the seat belt wouldn't budge. "Thish ish great! Towwwie shuuuush! make him go faster!"

"Dont tell me shush! Speeding is bad, Tay. dont ever do it!" Kyler chocked out, holding onto his seatbelt tightly while they just pulled into the driveway. "And what is with you and trees?!" He sneered, furrowing brows as his brother almost crashed into another tree swirving to park.

"LAND!!!" Chasler screamed, being first to jump out of the car, land face-first in the grass, and kiss it. "Seth, you crazy psycho driver person!" He scowled, lifting off the ground and took sides with Kyler, after the long drive to thier destination.

"That's sooo not fair.. teaming up on me." Seth scowled, picking tails up over his shoulder, snickering as she kicked and screamed with A fit of giggles.

"Well there's A point why we say, 'NO!' you know? I mean its not everyday you got A teenage driver going 100 down A thin road." Kyler snorted. And they where still alive luckly! or at least seth, tails, and chase where. For all kyler knew, behind this door lay many vicious animals and one being An orange blob like himself, and A very evil badger. Both belonging to A now fifth year hufferpuff. He wouldn't like an hour before getting attacked by claws. He sighed heavily, knocking on the door loudly.

Noticing Rapunzel and Sarah had arrived Alexis gave them a small wave to come join their group. She was sure that soon everyone would be here. Which wouldn’t be too bad…only maybe a little hard to talk to with all these mini conversations.

As the kids began to listen to him Legend smiled. He was in charge now. Excellent . “Hey Danny! What’s up? Still the quite one?” Legend said with a grin. Him a Jae had to cut Danny out of it. They boy was way to shy. “Hey Jae! I’m guessing later on we’re gonna play some rugby huh?” He said his eyes falling on the rugby ball. So like Jae.

“I’m awesome Ari. Just kinda confused on how I’m gonna make this whole lot listen. I think we might need a microphone or something.” Alexis said slowly. That probably still won’t work. They needed something like one of Tyson’s air horns. “Ah gotcha William. I think you’ll get alone well with my brother, Legend.” Alexis added when she noticed how reluctant William had been to Ariana’s jester. “And sure Ginger is welcomed.”

Hearing Mat’s question Alexis wonder what he meant. Gazing around she noticed Tyson speaking to Vincent. “Oh Vince is here, cool.” She said to herself. Mat had already ran off so there was no point in telling him now. “Yeah anyways guys this is Mel.” Lexi said pointing to her friend, who the others for sure didn’t know.

“Nope. You’re just on time.” Tyson said with a grin. He had figured this guy was a friend of his sister. He was however surprised that he hadn’t asked questions of why he had never heard of him before. Tyson shrugged this off guessing that this Vince guy was one of Alexis’s newer friends. “Go? Oh yeah….hmmm well I think we should be heading inside anyways. Amber will be in charge of that. Hey you need help?” He said pointing to Vince’s trunk. He didn’t seem like the type of person who needed help but Tyson still asked. “Ha, if you don’t then maybe you can help me with everyone else’s luggage.”

“Oh almost positive. Trust me; I have a younger brother and a bunch of younger cousins that are soo much more wild than this lot.” Amber said with a grin. Sure these kids wouldn’t be too much to handle. If they were, there was one thing she had that probably most of them didn’t. Magic. She knew that a couple of them were probably aloud to use magic since they were out of school, but that didn’t mean that she still couldn’t handle them. Plus if all else failed, she’d drop Tyson with the job of watching them and go watch some Muggle tv.

“Um excuse me or a sec; I think I should tell my cousin to make everyone head inside…maybe, you know to show them around or something.” Amber said, making her way toward Alexis. “Hey.” She said tapping her on the shoulder. “Take the older kids- er um teens inside or something. Or maybe to the back?” Walking away from her again she noticed a man had shone up with a boy. “Ah, I’m guessing you’re…Curt’s brother right?” Amber asked, Lex had told her that he may have been coming.


Hearing Sam and her brother wonder who the guy was Legend parted himself for the younger kids a bit. “That’s Tyson; the hobo.” Legend said simply. It was pretty clear he did not like the guy. Hearing someone else’s voice Legend grinned. “Matias! My dude, what’s up?” He said greeting the 8 year old. “I was just trying to round up everyone to go to the back. I was thinking we could have a game of tag…but I don’t think no one’s listening to me. Hold on a sec.”

Legend said looking around. Now where was Katie a Juls? His green eyes gazing on the two of them next to another guy, who’s name was William or something? “Oi! Get a move on Cub and Juls! You too Free Willy!” Legend said running up to them. “We’re gonna play tag, let’s go, let’s go.” He knew that Julian was probably going to come anyways but he wasn’t to sure about Katie and this new kid. He also knew that Katie and William might be upset with what he called them but he didn’t care. “Juls maybe you can get those two to come too.” Legend said pointing to the young boy and Laih still not knowing what the boy’s name was.

“Vee, Dusty hey!” Alexis said just noticing the two. It must have really been crowed for her to miss Jenny. Noticing another Gryffindor girl as she came over Alexis grinned and gave her a hug. “Hi Sammy how’s it going?” Lex was just about to go annoy Savannah when Curt arrived and covered her eyes.

“Hey!” Alexis said poking Curt in the side. “This is not the time to be all lovely-dovey especially not before I get to say hi to my best friend and when her father is here.” Alexis said an amused look on her face. She still had yet to make any other comments about Curt and Savannah. Or bug them. But she had plans too. As well as bug Lic, Sam, Vee. Ari….EVERYONE.

Hearing some loud yelling voices Alexis didn’t have to think who the voices were coming from. It was obviously Kyler and his family. “Hey Greyson shh! Before I get Tiger to attack you again.” She said then nodded to what her cousin had told her. Everyone inside. Right…that would be hard.

Mat who was ready to bounces all over the place and really start this party. A huge grinned appear on his face when he noticed another boy walking toward them. He was sure he didn't knew him but who cares, he was here to have a blast. "Yo Danny!! I'm Mat!" Giving a friendly nudge on the shoulder, he was keep track on everything that was saying around him. Reaching his pocket in order to get one chocolate frog, he shrug when he remember that his mom had check them first. He could surely eat one of those but then again he perfectly knew what would happen after that.

The moment that Mel as saw the face of Lainie she had completely felt in love with that little girl. She really love kids and this one was just way too cute. She was now trying to think about a way that she could go closer to her.

When Mat heard Legend speak of rudby, he blinked. He had no clue of what that could be. He knew that older peoples where playing that but it was pretty much it. This wasn't sounding as something that fun but then again he could be wrong. Still going through several pocket, he finally managed to put his hand on a half eaten gum. Popping it in his mouth, he continue to listen to what his friend was saying to the others.

This was probably Me saddest moment. Doing a little pouting face she was a bit sad that nobody had noticed when she introduced herself. She loves getting the attention but it seems that she will have to work very hard here for that. She was still looking at Lexi when she noticed that she seems to know does boys. Perfect, she could interrogate her later about them. Maybe trying to find something juicy and interesting.

Turning her attention toward the girl who Lexi call Ari, she smiled at her and present her hand. "Hi there! I'm Mel. Oh and by the way, I love your eyes. They are just so awesome." Mel really believe that if you look into someone's eyes you could see their souls and that girl had something that was making Mel curious. With all those who where there and the other that was arriving, she wasn't sure she could remember everyones name. This sure would test her memory skills but she usually was good at this.

Leaning against Lexi, she whisper in her ears:"Hey Lexi. I brought something for you in my bag and I know you will love it." Giving her a grinning looks she was sure that her friend will understand that she was talking about sweets.

A part of him was a bit disappoint that Tyson didn't say he was way earlier and ask him to come back because if he had, he wouldn't probably have come back. Then again since Lexi invited him here, which was still something he had no clue why she did, he would go. Noticing that the man had shrug, he was sure he had say something wrong. "Something wrong?" Right after saying that, he regret it. What if that Tyson start to complain about everything and anything. He will totally be bored at this but then again they just met and guy don't do that kind of things. Well that was what he was thinking.

The other strange things was the fact that he had offer him to help with his things. Now that was weird because the only things he had was a trunk and a bag. How would he possibly needs help, unless he was extremely lazy. "S'Okay. I can handle my things." Seeing the opportunity of not sticking with those outside for too long, he jump on the offer that Tyson made by asking him his help. "Yah! I can do that." He didn't have much enthusiast in his voice but that was just him. Taking back his stuff, he was waiting to follow Tyson since he had never been here before.

Giving a friendly nudge on Legend shoulder, laughed. "I'm cool. Just looking for this party to start." Still chewing on his gum, his eyes started to sparkles as his buddy mentioned going to play tag in the backyard. Oh this was going to be fun. Starting to bounce, he really wanted to go for a run but he had to wait for them to actually go there. "Come on Guys!!" Patience wasn't his things when he knew he could have some fun. The sooner he could start the greater the damage could be.

Pulling his cap on his head, he noticed some new coming and he saw one of them. It was none other than Kyler the boy whom he had an altercation earlier in the previous term. He could feel some steam coming up. He knew if that guy did just one little mistake, just one tiny, he was done. No mercy.

Rapunzel beamed as a few more people she recognized started to arrive. She smiled at Lexi and set Archimedes' cage down by her trunk. The elf owl would just have to wait; she had people to meet and greet.

She wandered towards the group of girls, taking note of a few older boys as well. Interesting, Punz thought with a slight smirk. Do they all know each other already? Or are they...related..? She was tempted to scratch her head, a habit whenever she felt puzzled, but obviously that was bad manners. So instead Punz just stood there, wondering who to talk to.

She laughed when another girl arrived and practically leapt out of her car before it had even stopped. She looks familiar, probably another Gryffindor, Rapunzel thought, deciding to go introduce herself.

"Hiya," she said pleasantly and with a smile. "I'm Rapunzel Ariel Black. I guess you're visiting for the summer too?" And as soon as she said it, she realized how lame that sounded. Rapunzel almost winced at her poor people skills....especially around strangers....

Dusty was still skeptical about his sister's reaction to his question, but he let it slide. Yes, this one time he let something slide with her. He knew she was going through a rough time with graduating and all, but he knew she'd be all right in no time.

Turning his attention back on Ben, the fifteen year old smiled wickedly. "I dunno. Nothing other than the norm...whatever that may be," he chuckled, winking. Finally he spotted the boy. Vee had pointed him out to him before and he was grateful for that. Vee on the other hand immediately regretted it. "There he is. Shall we kind sir?" He nudged Benny and began to make his way through the crowds of people to where the Hufflepuff stood.

Valencia gave her brother a meaningful look and nodded. She then felt a small tugging on her and looked down. She chuckled lightly and bent down so she was eye level with her niece. "Oh Lainie I'll be fine. You made it all better," she said sweetly, giving her a kiss on the forehead before standing up once more. "Go have fun with Obie. I know he's dying to run around." And was he ever.

"Oh hey Sammy. Just finally realizing how old I am and that I'll never be back at Hogwarts again. Other than that, I'm peachy keen," she said with a nod. She had to forget about everything for a while and just focus on what was happening now. She was going to have fun with her friends and family over the summer and that was that. "How are you doing?"

Jae chuckled and nodded at Legend. "Ya know it Ledge," he winked, holding up the rugby ball that was nestled into the left side of his body. He could not wait to play rugby. Maybe this other kid would play as well, the kid who was introducing himself to Danny. "Was it Mat?" he asked, hoping he heard his name right. "I'm Jae," he greeted with a smile, not using his full name for obvious reasons. Finally, another boy to join Danny, Legend, and himself. If nothing else they could have a two on two rugby game later. Whatever be the case, he was excited.

"Oi let's go!" James yelled, waving over the other kids to try and help Legend out. He had been looking forward to this summer for the longest time. Finally this was a time he could spend without the hassle of his little brother and sister. He did love them very much, but he needed to be with his friends every once in a while. Abandoning his bag at Vee's feet, the eight year old ran back to Danny and smiled. This was going to be fun.

Vee chuckled lightly and grabbed Jae's bag to move it out of the way of foot traffic. That boy was always on the go. Smiling brightly when she heard the familiar voice of Alexis, she called out, "Lex!" and waved. Okay, this summer was going to be great. She just needed to tell herself that and she'd be fine. If only Cisco was with her...No! Don't think about that now!

"Hey Lex!" Dusty called with a wink. She was going to be his partner in crime when he transfered to Hogwarts for the next school year. They were going to make a great team and that was what Vee and Savs were scared about. Little did they know what he really had in mind. It wasn't that bad.

Slinking out of the bus after everyone finally piled off of it, Nikita sprinted behind her mummy and curled up around one of her legs. She sniffed the air and immediately caught the scent of one of her friends: Tiger. Meowing lightly, to let her mother know she was leaving, the black cat disappeared into the crowd in search of the other feline.

Kaitlynnh beamed, nodding. Willie it was, muuuuch less confusing when the person his or her self told you their name. Uhuh. "Yup; I'm Kaitlynnh and he's Julian," Katie introduced them, adding matter-of-factly "Twins run looooong lines in our family, we have twin younger sisters too."

Katie blinked, pondering over what Ari said. See you again? Looking up at her older sister, something dawned on her. She was one of Anna's friends she'd a met looong time ago, or afew years give or take. Now she remembered. Twirling a dark curl around her finger, Katie casted a sideways glance at William, and turned back to Ari. "I'm not worried." She said simply, going up and hugged the other girl, before quickly going with her brother and Willie.

Eyebrows raising, Savannah could have given Ari an 'are you loony' look but refrained, shaking her head with a bright smile. "No, Ari. That was completely understandable, I was hoping you'd forgive me,"

As Ariana warned Kaitlynnh about William, she giggled. Vannah would be more worried about the boys being around Katie, because OF Katie. The young girl was incredibly sweet at times, but not many saw that. She liked being the 'leader', and made it clear..especially to Legend. They often faught over that.

"He'll fit in with them brilliantly," Savannah nodded, glancing down as her nephew and neice ran over to them, she was about to ask something when her vision was suddenly covered, surprising her, but in a good way. "Curt!" She squealed, clearly still very excited. Pulling his hands away from her eyes to turn and threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly, and pecked her lips against his lightly before hugging him again. Even though it hadn't been very long after school at all, she'd missed him.

Scowling as she turned her attention from Willie and Juls, to Legend, Kaitlynnh did not hesitate at all to yell "DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" despite the fact that the boy was coming too them, and her dad was still here.

Sure that her brown orbs were not deceiving her, Kaitlynnh gasped and ran off from the boys, spotting Sarah. "SAAAAARSAAAA!" The eight year old shrieked, practically tackling the girl. "Sarsa! HI!" Katie hadn't known Sarah would be here, and was thrilled.

Julian rolled his eyes unnoticeably, watching Kaitlynnh run off, still yelling. Noticing his sister's italian greyhound the young boy patted his leg to grab it's attention. "Kari, come play," He called the dog fondly, grinning at Legend with a nod. Get Obie and Lainie? Right.. "Obs!" Juls called next, waving the younger boy over. "Laaih! Obs, come with" Actually he had to check that over with Anna..first.

Vannah giggled amusedly, beaming at Alexis and at the mention of her father glanced over to see if she could spot him out of the crowded frontyard. She shrugged, turning back to her friends. "Lexiii!" Savannah greeted, giggling and hugged the fifteen year old tightly. "SHH, don't go saying that. Tiger is not a bad boy, and I don't feel like arguing with Kyler about such, again" She added, nudging Lexis with her elbow.

Wait, the Greysons were here? She had to say hello to them, once she could find them. Kyler was more then alikely avoiding her for the sake of Tiger, but she had no idea where the feline was right now.

Noticing the girl she didn't know, with Lexi, Vannah smiled brightly and waved a hello. "Melania, is it?" She asked hopefully, not wanting to get the girl's name wrong. "Nice to meet you,"

Sighing in relief Lainie went over the the backpacks and grabbed her stuffed animal, kissing the top of its head lovingly. She adored Casa to no end, never did she go anywhere without it ever since birth, she thought. Mummy told her it was the first present she got, Benji-Daddy brought it to the hospital for her. It was no wonder she was so very attached to it. "Don' do dat again Casa," The toddler murmured under her breath, earth tone eyes traveling onto her cousin. "I knew ish spanishhh, but nope neva knew dat."

"Can Cous Obie teach Waih spanishh?" The nearly three year old asked, hope shown in her sparkling eyes. The little girl was already picking up on both Italian and Spanish, not that she could tell one apart from the other at this point.

Pushing up her right sweater sleeve, her left hand wrapped around her right wrist feeling for the bracelet that had been there earlier. She frowned, looking down to see it gone. "I be back!" Lainie said, holding out her hand in a 'stop' sort of way, to tell them to stay while she ran back to the bus. Nanu left the door open, so it was easy for her to crawl up the stairs and get inside.

Going to the seat she and Obie had sat on Lainie climbed onto it and looked about, searching for that 'lollipop striped' bracelet one of her aunties had made her. Checking under the seat, she was pleased to find it, and put it back on.

Heading back to get off the bus and rejoin everyone, She halted at the top step, catching something move out of the corner of her eye. It was a backpack, a pure black one, and it was ever so slightly inching towards her.

"NANUUUUUU!" Lainie shouted as loud as one tiny child could, holding onto the railing. "NANU! A BAG IS MOVING!" Eyes wide and alert, she didn't look away from it. Laih already knew she was a witch, and came from a magical family, but was bags coming alive with no one around normal, even under wizarding circumstances?

Knowing that Lainie had gone off to get something forgotten in the vehicle, Savannah kept a close eye on the ridiculous mini yellow bus. It only being seconds later Laih started calling for help, if you will. Moving bag? OOPS! How could she have forgotten her cub, of all things?! "I'll be right back.." Vannah murmured to the group, dismissing herself quickly and ran off to her neice, hoping to merlin himself her dad hadn't heard those words.

"Ninnie! SHH, your going to get Auntie in trouble!" The fifteen year old whispered rushedly, abruptly looking for the bag that was not easily missed on the aisle. "Next time you see a bag moving, come get me okay?" Because more than likely it would be hers, or even Dusty or Ben's. No need for 'Nanu'. Gently grabbing the bag, Vannah peeked inside, opening it more so the little black nose poked out. Laih giggled, and her auntie smiled. "Would you be a dearling and hold him for me?" Pleased the toddler agreed, she handed it over and made way over towards the front again, looking for her father's beeping pager. "Ehm, I'll let him find it," She said more to herself then the child, getting up from the drivers seat and picked Lainie up craddle style.

Squinting and looked away from the sun, ocean blue eyes didn't find looking directly at the blinding light fun. "Dad, pagers going off, Uncle bear must not be handling the twins well" She added, reaching her father whom hugged her and his granddaughter. After being asked a few more quick questions 'Are you sure you can handle your brother and sister?' 'you know how to reach me if you need to?' blah blah blah, things she could rehearse in her sleep, Scott told her to tell Kaitlynnh, Julian and Obie he said goodbye and to be good, and left quickly. Both knew how much trouble Lissy and Lydia could cause, given an hour alone.

"Alright..where'd Obs go?" Vannah pondered, squeezing Laih gently in her arms as the toddler pointed a small finger towards Uncle Julian and Obie. "Sorrry," She apologized, once coming back to Curt, Lexi, Mel, and the rest of the group. "Almost forgot someone."

OOC: Soorrrry for massive post. XD Forgot Rabid in my first post, soo I had to make up for it.

Please let her almost be there. Please. Please.

She was just about to snap right now, with her stupid pain-in-the-butt brother complaining ever since they got inside the car.

Finally she had had it. "WOULD YOU JUST STOP IT ALREADY? YOU'RE DRIVING ME NUTS!!" she screamed at him. It had been a biiiig mistake asking him to come and get her, but it was the only way for her to come, as her parents wouldn't take her. And she knew that she only had more to deal with. She gave a loud sigh.

But before he could open his mouth to say another annoying thing they were finally there. Too bad she was in a bad mood now. She sighed again as she eagerly waited for them to reach the house.

As soon as they reached the drive way she opened the car door and got out, slamming the door. She wasn't even going to bother saying good-bye to that loser. She just rushed up to the front door and rung the bell, hoping that she wasn't too late.
