Hey guys this is my first 'The Middle' fanfic. Enjoy and tell me your thoughts on it. Don't worry I'm still doing my Alcatraz Fanfics, my NATM fanfic and my twilight one.

Chapter 1 - Leprechaun Talk.

"I don't like it Frankie" Mike Heck says as he sits down infront of the tv with a beer in his hand.

"Come on Mike, it'll be fun" his wife Frankie Heck says as she sits down beside him with the tv remote in her hand. "And besides the Donavon's are getting a girl from England"

"That's what you said about the last forgein exchange student and he turned out to be a dud"

"Yeah well this one will be different" Frankie says while resting her head on her husbands shoulder. "I made sure we didn't get a dud this time, were getting a guy from Ireland, wouldn't it be great to learn about Ireland?"

"The place with all the leprechaun's? And the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow"

"Yeah I think so"

Mike looks up at the ceiling.

"Okay fine, but he better bring a pot of gold with him"

"Who's got a pot a gold?" Brick asks as he walks into the sitting room. "Gold" he whispers to himself.

"Ehh Brick..." Frankie sighs and patts her legs.

"Kids get in here" she calls down to Sue and Axel Heck down in their rooms.

Sue walks in to the sitting room with Axl following slowly dressed in, you guessed it, his boxers.

"Kids... Were having a foregin exchange student again this year"

"But Mom, the last one was a dud" Exclaims Sue with wide eyes.

"For once I agree with Sue" says Axle.

"Well this kids staying"

"Are we getting another guy from china or japan or wherever that guy was from?" Axl asks, still dressed in his boxer shorts and socks.

"No... I think he was from Japan... Were getting a guy from Ireland this time"

"Ugh... Fine but I'm not sharing my room with him"

"Your gunna have to"

"This is so lame"

"Everything's Lame to you" Mike says angrily.

"Saying everything's lame is lame"

Mike sighs, not even wanting to have that going on again.

"There here! There here!" Sue says happily as she rushes to the front door ready to greet the Irish exchange student.

Mike walks into the house and looks at the rest of the family as they gather behind Sue.

"So where is he?" Sue asks as she looks behind her father.

"Everybody this is Ronnie, the Irish exchange student"

Mike moves away to reveal a girl looking at the family shyly. She carries a laptop under one arm and drumsticks in her other hand. She wears a black skinny jeans, red and black checkered vans, a black hat and a black shirt that says "There's No Limit" in red and purple.

She nervously pushes her purple fringe out of her eyes and smiles shyly at the family. Everyone's eyes but Mikes go wide with shock.

"Umm Hi.. I'm Ronnie Malloy"

"Uh hi Ronnie I'm Frankie Heck.. Uh arnt you meant to be a boy?"

She smiles again and opens her mouth to say something but before she can Mike inturpts her.

"There was a problem with the guy we were meant to be getting.. So they sent over Ronnie"

"You were meant to get Micheal, my younger brother but he couldn't come for personal reasons so me ma sent me instead"

"Oh.. Well welcome to America Ronnie, I guess we'll just have to move you into Sue's room.. Oh yeah Ronnie this is Sue"

Frankie gestures to her daughter Sue. Sue smiles and rushes to shake Ronnie's hand.

"Hi, were going to be great friends"

Ronnie's shocked by the sudden happyness coming from the girl. Ronnie smiles widely while raising her eyebrows in fear.

"Don't worry you'll get used to it" Frankie says as she gently pushes Sue along and pushes the youngest Heck child towards her.

"This is Brick, the youngest"

"Dia duit" he says to her. (Hi)

"Ta gealga agat? An maith. Conas ata tu?" (You speak irish? Very good. How're you?)

"Yeah I don't know that much in Irish. I know that your flag is Green, White and Orange, your money is Euro's, your main food sorce is potato's" Brick's head goes down into his chest as he whispers

"Potato's"

"Ehh its not our main sorce.." Ronnie says as she watches Brick unsure of what to say or do about the whispering.

"Brick does that a lot.." Frankie explains as she pushes him aside and looks towards her eldest son.

He walks up to Ronnie and smiles at her.

"Axle Heck, but you can call me the Axe Man"

Ronnie raises her eyebrow and smiles as she shakes his hand.

"Axle!" Frankie hisses embrassed at how her son flirted with the girl.

"What she's hot"

"Axle" Mike says this time.

Ronnie looks at Frankie smiling.

"I'll have to get used to him too?"

Frankie smiles and nods.

"Axle go help Mike bring in her bags.. So Ronnie you hungry? Must have been some flight"

"I'm fine Mrs Heck. It was fine thank you"

Ronnie follows Frankie into the kitchen.

"Oh just call me Frankie, that Mrs Heck thing makes me sound old"

"Will do"

"So Ronnie how're the leprechaun's?" Sue asks following them in.

"I'm sorry?" Ronnie asks taken aback.

"Sue why don't you go get your room ready for you and Ronnie huh?" Frankie says to her daughter.

"Okay Mom" Sue rushes out of the kitchen and down the hallway to her room.

Ronnie, still in shock but the question asks.

"Did she ask me how the leprechaun's are?"

"Don't worry, she's trying to make conversation"

"Ronnie where do leprechaun's come from?" Brick asks entering the room.

Axle and Mike follow and stare at Brick. Ronnie raises her eyebrow at Brick and looks shocked and confused.

"Uhh.. I don't know the end of the rainbow?"

"Hey Axle why don't you take Ronnie to go get dinner" Mike says trying to get Brick away from insulting Ronnie.

Axle smiles and takes the car keys and winks at Ronnie. Frankie hands Ronnie the money.

"Good luck" she murmers to her.

Ronnie smiles and puts her laptop down along with her drumsticks on the table before following Axle out to the car.

"So any boyfriends back in Ireland?" Axle asks Ronnie as they drive back home.

"Nahh.."

"Did you get much leprechaun's in Ireland?" He teases her.

"Oh god enough with the leprechaun's! Jesus I've never met a leprechaun and have never been one.."

"Alright chill, I'm sorry"

Ronnie rolls her eyes and looks down at the bag.

"So you eat this every night for dinner?"

"Yeah, cause Mom can't cook"

"Wow.. How come you guys arnt fat?"

"How come your not a leprechaun?"

"Ehh because my family isn't made of leprechauns.. Were not short or ginger.. Except my uncle Larry"

Axle starts laughing and parks the car outside the Heck house. Ronnie, happy to get out of the car walks infront of Axle and into the house with the food.

"Hey Ronnie how was the ride?" Frankie asks.

Ronnie shakes her head and hands Frankie the food and sits down beside Brick.

"Hey Mom, check this out Ronnie's uncle is a leprechaun! His name is Larry! Larry the leprechaun"

Ronnie rolls her eyes and groans.

"Okay enough of the leprechaun's!" Frankie says as she hands out the food and sits beside Ronnie.

When the ads on the tv come on Brick turns around to Ronnie.

"Ronnie are you a leprechaun?"

Ronnie smiles and shakes her head and starts laughing. Everyone else in the room starts to laugh along too but the ads finish and wheel of fortune comes back on and everyone's quiet again.

A/N: hope you like it. Review and tell me what you think. I forgot to mention that if Ronnie ever speaks Irish I'll put the English in bracks beside it.
