Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story, except for my Natalia and Mackenzie, my own two characters.

Mackenzie Lynn O'Hara and Natalia Ann Spencer have been best friends for what seems like forever, but has really been about 2 years. About 2 and a half years ago, Shawn Spencer and his best friend, Burton Guster, known as Gus, were at Shawn's dad's, Henry Spencer's, house for dinner one evening when Henry introduced a girl, who was about 12 years old, to Shawn (and Gus). Henry said that she was Shawn's little sister, long-lost little sister, or step-sister, Natalia. Henry had not known about her until about a week before; it had taken him a little time to get over the shock. She stayed with Henry for a few months until she had finally asked if she could live with Shawn because she seemed to not really like living with Henry. He had started testing her photographic memory. Finally, Shawn and Henry made some agreements, and Natalia has been living with Shawn since. She loves to help on cases. Sometimes Shawn gets on her nerves, as most siblings do get on each others' nerves, but she still likes him.

One day, after Natalia started living with Shawn; he and Gus had gone down to the SBPD station. Natalia had decided to tag along.

Shawn introduced her to Chief Vick, Detective Carlton Lassiter, Buzz McNabb, Detective Juliet O'Hara, and all of the other officers.

Everyone had been really nice. Lassiter had seemed to have a little bit of an attitude, but they still had all been really nice to her. She wasn't sure if they were always nice or if they were just being extra nice because Shawn was her brother. Natalia also thought Juliet was really nice.

"I didn't know you had a sister, Shawn." Juliet said.

"Yeah, neither did I until a couple of weeks ago." Shawn replied.

"I have a little sister too," she turned to Natalia, "she's about your age."

"Cool." Natalia said with a smile.

"You didn't tell me you had a sister either, Jules." Shawn said.

"You guys should meet her sometime." Juliet said.

"Okay." Natalia said.

"You know what, why don't you guys come down to the station tomorrow, and you can meet her then. I don't think she's busy tomorrow. I'll see if I can bring her here."

"Sounds good." Shawn said while playing with a small object he found on Juliet's desk.

The next day, Juliet's little sister was very excited. She loved making new friends. Since she hadn't been there that long, she didn't have that many friends. Everyone had been friends and had been going to school together for most of their lives. She was also excited because her sister hardly ever took her to the station.

Natalia had also been very excited. She didn't have any friends in Santa Barbara, California.

When Shawn, Gus, and Natalia walked into the station, Juliet introduced her sister to them.

"Shawn, Gus, Natalia, this is my little sister, Mackenzie."

"Hi." Mackenzie said and waved.

"Hi." The three of them said.

"Mackenzie, this is Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster, well, Gus. They run the 'Psych' business I was telling you about. And this is Shawn's little sister, Natalia."

"Hey," Natalia said.

Just then, Lassiter came over to them with a case for Juliet to work on with him. Mackenzie had wanted to help and wanted Natalia to come along. Lassiter didn't like the idea of "two little girls" following them around while they were on a case. Juliet also didn't exactly want her little sister following her around. However, Juliet let her come much to Lassiter's dismay.

Mackenzie had moved to California about a year before. She previously lived in Florida with her parents, but she had begged her parents to let her join an acting program in California. After much thought and talk, they finally let her move to California and live with Juliet. However, her parents wanted to stay in Florida with her grandparents.

Mackenzie loves acting and singing. She is also involved in other activities. She loves arts and crafts, and she loves camping and hiking. She also obviously loves helping with cases.

Natalia also loves to act and sing; she likes to write as well. She also plays some softball.

During the case, Mackenzie and Natalia had become instant best friends. From then on, they hung out every chance they got. They worked on cases with Juliet or Shawn and Gus as much as they could. They were pretty good at solving the cases. They even realized that Shawn likes Juliet, and they had a small feeling that Juliet kind of, secretly likes him back, but they were working on that. They wanted to get the two together. Every once in a while they would work on getting them together.

The girls were best friends even though they only knew each other for about two years. They helped each other out through all situations. They had sleepovers, went to the mall, laughed, and cried together.

One time, when Mackenzie was being picked on and called names by the popular crowd at school, Natalia went over and stood up for her even though Mackenzie could stand up for herself, she wasn't really having a good day and didn't really know what to say to them. Natalia was awesome. She was looking out for Mackenzie, that's what friends are for. They have each others' backs.

They would have sleepovers at either Shawn's or Juliet's apartment. They would laugh and tell secrets. They would stay up all night and talk, like lots of girls do.

When one looked sad or depressed, the other would comfort her and make her feel better.

Once when Mackenzie was nervous for one of her plays Natalia helped her calm down and gain her confidence. Mackenzie did the same for Natalia when she would sometimes get nervous for a softball game or even a play too. Mackenzie would give her encouragement and calm her down.

If one of them has to change the plans they made to hang out because something came up or they had made other plan; the other girl doesn't get mad. They were really close. They forgave each other when it came to little mistakes.

They knew they would be there for each other until the end. And two years later, they were still best friends and were about to graduate middle school (8th grade).

"Ready for graduation, Kenzie?" Juliet asked enthusiastically. Now and then, friends would call Mackenzie, 'Kenzie,' and Natalia, 'Talia.'

"Yeah, I think so. Talia and I are excited and nervous." Mackenzie responded on the way to the station. She had started going to the station with Juliet more often now.

"Don't worry, high school is hard, but it's fun at the same time." said Juliet.

When they got to the station, Mackenzie saw Lassiter and made her way over to him. Lassiter had grown to like Mackenzie and Natalia. They didn't really get on his nerves. They sometimes made him smile.

"Hey Lassiter."

"Hi Mackenzie." he said.

She followed him as he walked down the hallway to his office.

"I just wanted to remind you that you're welcome to come to Natalia's and my graduation tonight." she said, "We want you to come."

"I'll see if I can make it." Lassiter said somewhat jokingly, if that's even possible for Lassiter. Mackenzie looked sad. "I'll be there." He said looking through some papers, and smiling.

"Cool." Mackenzie smiled.

Later that day, Natalia was over Juliet's apartment. Mackenzie and Natalia were getting ready for graduation. Juliet was helping with primping and getting all ready.

Natalia was wearing a beautiful light purple and green dress with small flowers and sparkles on it. It came down to just past her knees. Her shoes were white strappy heels with rhinestones on the straps. She had her hair down and straightened. She has brownish, black layered hair that comes down just past her shoulders. She also had on a few bracelets that matched her dress and her favorite locket necklace.

Mackenzie was wearing an elegant and beautiful light purple/lavender and light blue dress with flowers on it. Her dress also came down to just past her knees. Her shoes were white strappy heels also but with a little bit of purple on the straps. Her hair was u in a very loose bun, with a few stands hanging down by the side of her face. She had naturally curly/wavy hair, and it is layered as well. Her hair also comes down just past her shoulders. She curled her hair to make it a little extra curly. Despite, Juliet having blonde hair, Mackenzie has brown hair. Mackenzie also wore a bracelet that matched her dress, a cross necklace her aunt had given her, and a charm bracelet.

While they were getting ready, Mackenzie had been checking her cell phone.

"My parents said they were gonna try to get here but a lot of flights were delayed or canceled because of something." she said Natalia.

"Don't worry; I'm sure they'll be here." Natalia said.

There was a knock at the door. The two girls rushed over to open it.

"It's probably Shawn or Gus." Juliet said.

The two girls friendly fought over looking through the peep hole to see who it was. Mackenzie opened the door.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Hey kiddo." her dad said.

"Hey honey." her mom said.

Juliet came over.

"Mom, Dad."

"Hi Juliet."

"How'd you get here? I would've picked you up."

"We took a taxi from the airport. We wanted to surprise you guys." Mr. O'Hara said.

"Hi Natalia." Mrs. O'Hara said.

"Hi Mrs. O'Hara, Mr. O'Hara." Natalia smiled.

"My, you two have grown." Mrs. O'Hara said raising her hand up near their heads as if to measure how tall they were.

Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara had tried to visit as much as they could since Mackenzie moved about three years ago. So they had already met Natalia.

They had sat down and talked for a little while until it was time to go to the graduation. They all got into Juliet's car, and headed for the middle school for their 8th grade graduation.
