As promised, I have revised and edited House of Newbies and Lots of Drama and gave it a new title. I would like to thank everyone who was kind to me, because this story was chalk full of grammar issues and everything and was absolutely terrible. I have grown a lot since this was first published, and now fixing everything. I have learned that I don't have to follow the exact way the show was and how some situations would be approached. I will keep the Spanish, but I have edited this for a while, taking things out and changing something's, but I'm trying to keeping the original idea.
Disclaimer- I do NOT own House of Anubis, nor am I in anyway associated with Nick.
Prologue (3rd POV)
Nina Martin & her baby sister Calida (who was called Callie, because Nina couldn't say Calida) were staying at their Gran's home. Their parents (Gran's daughter & son-in-law) had gone out to dinner.
"Nina! Por Favor! Please come here & get your jammies!" Evelyn Sanchez chased a hyper little toddler. "Why?" The spunky toddler questioned. "Because sweetie, it is bedtime." the tired woman said. "No! I wanna see Joseph and Arielle." the toddler stated. Joseph an Ariella!"
Joseph was a year older and Ariella was Callie's age. "Your cousins are asleep at their home." The grandmother explained. "Fine." the toddler gave in and the slipped on the jammies. That's when the nightmare came at the door.
"Hello?" Evelyn Sanchez said opening the door. "Mrs. Sanchez, I am Officer Juan. I need to inform you that your daughter and son-in-law have been in an automobile accident and are in the hospital." The officer informed said. "What hospital?" Evelyn stayed calm, she couldn't worry Nina. "Pine Tree Hospital." Informed the officer. "Gracias!" Gran thanked the officer and he left, seeing that the older woman wasn't in shock.
"Nina go get your shoes, por favor?" said Gran. Nina got her shoes while Gran put a sleeping Callie in her carrier. She then picked up Nina and the carrier and went to her pick up and put Nina in a car seat. "Gran where we going'?" the tot asked while the Gran drove down the road. "To see your mommy and daddy." Gran told her. Nina smiled.
When they got there they found out where the Martin's room was. When they found the room Nina ran to her parent's bedsides.
"Mommy! Daddy! We came to see you! Callie didn't cry awwl the way here! Ittin't great?" Nina chirped. "Yes baby." her mother's raspier voice said. "Nina, dear. Can you bring Callie over here, please." her father asked. Nina nodded and got her sister. "See we here!" Nina said. Belita, Nina's mom, lifted a shaky hand& patted both her daughter's hands. Nathan, Nina's dad, did the same. That's when Nina & Callie's Aunt Camille and Uncle Jackson came in with a sleeping baby in one arm and a sleeping tot in the other.
"Mamá por favor, cuidar a mi bebé!"(TRANSLATION: mom please, takes care of my babies!) "SÍ, I will honey. I promise with my heart!"
"Nina, Callie. We love you both very much! See you soon." Both parents said. Then Belita and Nathan both died that night.
Nina & Callie grew up at Gran's house. When the funeral was over, Gran took Nina and Callie to their parent's home. They picked up their parents belongings & took them to Gran's house.
When Nina was old enough, Evelyn entered her in a local Dance and Gymnastics school that was owned by Gran's best friend. She entered her in gymnastics to keep her busy. The girls reminded Evelyn so much of Belita at that age, with all that energy. The girls also kept her company, especially with her husband, Marco Sanchez, dead before Nina was born.
When Nina got to the middle school she joined orchestra in 6th grade, taking up violin. She also did piano, the recommendation from the director. Her sister followed in her footsteps, with Ariella in tow with band, but Ariella and Callie did cheerleading together.
The summer Nina turned 15, she, got a scholarship to go to an English boarding school. Nina was so excited. Callie, who was 12, was exited for her sis, but she was sad because Nina was the closest thing to her mom and dad. Sure she had Gran, but Gran can't talk about cute boys and what hair styles are in (well, she could but that would be AWKWARD). Then one week later, Callie and their cousins got the scholarship too. Ariella turned it down because her mom was going on a business trip and wanted her kids and husband with her. She invited Nina, Callie, and Evelyn but Nina and Callie really wanted to go to the school.
The morning they left, everyone was in tears. Ariella & her family were going to France for the business trip Nina and Callie were going to England, and Evelyn was staying on the ranch with the rest of the family.
This is where the story begins.
