Chapter 1

Luke was in the kitchen reading an email he just received from Maria:

Hey Luke,

How are you? Washington is all right but it's getting boring here. I miss you so much, and Clyde of course and helping fight off aliens. I met this girl called Cassy, she's quite nice but I preferred hanging around with you and Clyde.

I've got some good news though, I'm coming home! My dad has been told that his computer skills are needed in England, and the office in England is in London, so I'll get to see you again. Next week. We'll have to find somewhere to stay first, Dad says there are loads of hotels in Ealing.

See you soon,

Maria xx

PS: I miss you!

He couldn't believe it! She was coming home, she was actually coming home. Sarah-Jane came into the kitchen.

"What's made you so happy?" she asked, seeing the big grin that was across his face.

"It's Maria! She's coming home!" he replied, his smile getting broader.

"What? That's wonderful! Where are they staying?" she exclaimed, overcome with joy.

"Dunno! She said they are trying to find a hotel." he replied shrugging.

"Nonsense! E-mail her back and say that they can stay here!" she demanded, starting to do some washing up.

Luke, E-mailed Maria back writing what Sarah-Jane had told him to write. Maria E-mailed him back a few minutes later, saying that it would be very helpful if they could stay. Luke sent an E-mail back confirming it all.

"That's it settled, she's staying with us!" he stated when he was finished.

"Good, good, you're lucky that it's school holidays, otherwise you would have to go to school while she stayed here." she said and started laughing. The door bell went.

"I'll get it. It's probably Clyde." said Luke standing up and walking to the door. Sure enough it was Clyde.

"Hey Clyde!" he said cheerily.

"Hi, why are you so happy today?" asked Clyde suspiciously.

"Maria's coming home!" he exclaimed.

"That's great news!" he replied taken back by the news. "That's really great."

"I know, she'll get to meet Rani! It'll be so cool, and they can go shopping and do activities together and go out on days out and..." he started babbling.

"Look she isn't even here yet and your already planning out what they are going to do for a year. Just slow down! When are they coming?" Clyde interrupted.

"Next week." replied Luke, calming down a little.

"Don't get excited until she's here! All right?" he said, placing a hand on his best friends arm.

Don't worry the story gets better. There's a lot of girl action. And if you think Rani and Maria will be able to get on then your in for a surprise...
