Eliza POV "Goodnight Ange, Goodnight Pegs", I call to my sisters as I walk into my room. I go over all the things I need in my head for tomorrow and make sure I have them. Tomorrow is the first day of school and I will be a freshman, or fresh-fish as Angelica says they call us. My sister Angelica is a year older than me and will be starting her sophomore year.

My sister Peggy, on the other hand, is going into the 8th grade, she says she is " very excited to be top dog of the school this year." I walk to my sink and brush my teeth all while humming the tune of my favorite song Helpless by Phillipa Soo. After finishing I crawl into bed exhausted by a day of shopping for tomorrows the first day of school outfits. I'm almost asleep when I hear, "Liza". I sit up as I see Peggy enter the room. She is wearing her favorite yellow footie pajamas, matching mine and Angelica's which are blue and pink.

"Yes, Pegs," I say, stifling a yawn.

"Can I sleep in here with you, please?" She asks with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course Pegs, come here." I lift back the sheets and she crawls in. I turn to face her and hold one of her hands, "Peggy?"

"Mhmm?" she murmurs.

"Is something bothering you? You seem a bit shaky and I know your not cold in your pajamas, New York isn't that cold in August." I ask, Peggy and I have always been really close, and she usually tells me everything.

"Um, a bit, but it's not important, you wouldn't care." she says, a bit of sadness in "you wouldn't care". At this, I am very offended because I always listen to her, no matter what. Even when I ended up being late to a date with my boyfriend Alex.

"Margaret Peggy Schuyler I will always care what you have to say you don't have to be in the shadows." I was referring to when we were little Peggy always thought she was the shadow and that Ange and I always overshadowed her."Now, what's wrong?"

"Well," she says not looking me in the eye. "I know I seemed more confident to go to the 8th grade but I'm scared as heck. I have to take pre-ap algebra and I'm not good at math." At this I scoff because Peggy is not bad at math, she's just better at history and science. "And I'm just worried because you and Angelica have always been there for me, even when Ange went to High School you were still there. It's like 5th grade, except everyone is meaner and there is no recess." She sounds very childish but I don't say anything, for one I don't blame her school is scary.

"Awe Pegs" I pull her into a hug and stroke her frizzy hair. " It will be ok, and Angelica and I are just down the road. We're within walking distance, and we will be there to pick you up at 3:30 every day after school. And if you ever need anything just text us, we can come down and beat someone up if they ever hurt you. Also, you'll have Laff, Hurc, and Miria with you. You'll be okay sweetie, I promise." I hug her tighter and get kinda sad because I can't sit with little Peggy at mega lunch anymore (which btw is an hour of lunch), but I don't show it.

"Thanks, Liza that means a lot."

We share one more hug and then I say, "Hey you wanna go wake Ange up?"

"Yeah let's go!" Peggy says with her devious smile that she has when she's up to something, mostly when she's "spy Peggy", a term she made up when she was two and would always play spies with one of her best friends Hercules. Sometimes I still catch them playing it but they say they aren't. I guess spy's never reveal themselves if and when they're on a mission, and Spy Peggy and her assistant Eliza were on a death-defying mission. Or at least they pretended they where.
