1"Where are you?" The blonde boy asked with frustration. He moved the cellular from one ear to the other, looking on the other side of the restaurant for another blond head.

"Right behind you, Jeremy." Her soft voice came from behind him and he spun around.

The first thing he noticed about her was that her golden locks were now jet black and her girly designer-everything style was replaced with a more earthy look of jeans and a flowing tank top.

"Ellie?" Shock was an understatement. Jez knew that being in America would change her but this? She looked like an entirely different person!

"Who else would it be?" Jez didn't say anything for a while. "Look, I know the hair is a little different and the clothes are achange from what I used to wear but I mean I'm still the same sarcastic and utterly hilarious Ellie I was before I left."

After her rant, Jez grinned and pulled her in for a hug. "You left out annoying." Ellie wrapped her arms around him and laughed.

"Welcome home sister."

--

"So your trip was good, yeah?" Jez asked as they finished up their lunch. Ellie had told him of her six months in America and the many adventures that occurred.

"Yeah, it was brilliant! I saw the most beautiful things. The buildings, the art, the plays, and best of all the boys! Oh, Jez you should've seen some of them." Ellie waggled her eyebrows at her brother who chuckled at his sister's antics. "The best part, though, had to be my job! I actually starred in my own musical! Can you believe it?"

"So, have you talked to dad since he found out?"

Jez shook his head and leaned back in his chair. "No. I don't think he ever wants to talk to me again," He lowered his gaze to the empty plate in front of him. "I don't blame him, really. Who would want a son who was gay and wanted to be a dancer?"

Ellie slammed her hand onto the table, tipping their glasses over. "Ellie, what the hell?" Jez exclaimed. "Are you crazy or something?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing." She whispered back fiercely. Jez's eyes narrowed and his face went from surprise to confusion. "You are not to blame for our father's actions, got it?"

The blonde's blue eyes softened at his sister's words. "Jez, you are who you are. No one should ever make you want to change that, especially our father."

The siblings shared a small smile as Ellie added, "Besides if you change now, I might have to find a new brother."

Jez laughed as the serious mood lifted and they entered another petty argument over which waiter was cuter.

"So, Ellie, what do you plan on doing now that you're back in London?" Jez tossed a piece of bread at his sister and received the whole loaf in his face.

"Well, you wanker, I planned on surprising you tomorrow but I guess now is a good time too." The raven haired girl replied. "When I found out that dad knew about Britannia High I figured he'd be pissed, so I arranged for my leave back home."

"What does this – " Jez interrupted.

"Shut up and let me finish, yeah?" Ellie snapped with a smile, knowing her brother would know she was kidding around.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted," she glared at Jez and smirked. "I had to make arrangements for when I came back because I wasn't going to lounge around the manor all day so..."

Ellie paused for a minute and her brother got annoyed and opened his mouth again to interrupt, only this time she was quicker.

Ellie picked up a roll and stuffed it into Jez's mouth before the words could form in his brain.

"Canooogetootheepont?" He garbled through the dough.

"I'm sorry what was that, brother? An apology for being rude yet again?" Ellie joked and threw her head back and laughed as Jez pried the bread out of his mouth.

"If we weren't in a public place, I'd tackle you." Jez threatened. "And I said, can you get to the point."

"Fine! My point is that before coming here I sent an audition video to Mr. Nugent at Britannia High and I got accepted!"

Jez was speechless. "You're kidding?" She shook her head and Jez grinned, standing up to give his sister a big hug, which she returned with just as much love.

"I'm proud of you Ellie. You're going to love it at Britannia High! I mean, the classes are hard but nothing you can't take and the studios are brilliant, oh and you get to meet my friends and –wait!"

Ellie was confused at her brother's sudden stop in his rant. "What?"

"You still haven't met my friends!" He said. Ellie stared at him quizzically and became even more confused when he took out his phone.

"What are you doing Jeremy!?"

"What does it look like? I'm calling the gang to come and meet you." He dialed and then placed the phone to his ear. "And don't call me that!"

Ellie smiled at her brother's excitement. She sat back down at the table and waited for him to finish.

He rejoined her a few minutes later and said they would be there in twenty minutes.

"Do they know who I am?" She asked "I mean I know they found out about dad and the money but did you tell them about your beautiful twin sister?" Ellie asked with a smile.

Jez looked down and shook his head. "I, uh, didn't...yet. Not because I don't want them to know you but I was still dealing with the thing with dad, you know?"

The dark haired beauty laughed. "I understand Jez, you don't have to explain." A calming silence flew between them.

"So, what are these friends of yours like?"

Jez jumped into a description of his friends for the next few minutes until they arrived.

--

Elie and Jez had ordered a chocolate cake for when his friends came but it was already half gone.

"Oh wow. Jez, I cannot believe we just finished half a cake!"

"I can." Jez replied sticking the fork into the chocolate. "Remember the Christmas before you left? We devoured a whole one in just ten minutes."

Ellie smiled at the memory. "I was sick for days after! It was really disgusting." She laughed but her face soon contorted into confusion after she looked over his shoulder.

"What is it, Ellie?"

"There are these people staring at us. Not in the 'I'm casually glancing around' staring but extreme 'burning holes into your back' staring. It's sort of freaking me out a bit."

Jez laughed and turned around and what he saw was indeed a group of five staring at them with surprised eyes.

"That would be my friends." He smiled and got up to bring them over. There were two boys and three girls who accompanied Jez to the table.

Ellie stood up to greet the new arrivals. All those etiquette lesson her father drilled into her head were never going to leave.

"Ellie, this is BB," He motioned to a boy with braids and a huge smile.

"Claudine," A girl with short black hair and wearing a gorgeous blue dress smiled softly.

"Lola and Lauren," The two girls waved. One had beautiful coffee colored skin and amazing eyes and the other had lovely red hair and an adorable smile.

"And last but not least, Danny." The last boy had curly brown hair and a smile that was brighter than the others.

Jez came to stand next to Ellie and put an arm around her. "Guys, I want you to meet my little sister Elizabeth."

Ellie scowled at Jez. "First off, I`m a minute and three seconds younger than you so stop calling me little," She turned and smiled at his friends. "And people usually call me Ellie."

A round of hello`s went through the group and they spent the rest of the afternoon learning about Jez's sister.

Danny taking in every word the new comer had to say with keen interest.
