I will apologize in advance for this crappy and suckish chapter. And If I bother to continue this, you shall find out who Benny is XD

Austria

I slipped on my tool belt and was ready to bolt out the door.

"Mom! I'm going to visit Roy, Heath, and Matt with Abe, and then I'm staying at Vivian's!" I called to my mother, Rae, as me and my brother Abraham casually walked outside.

Well it might be important to tell you about myself before the story really begins. My name is Austria, but you can come up with some creative nickname for me by yourself. Roy calls me Riah. I live on the small island of Castanet, which has a population of 48 people. I look just like my dad, Chase, with my strawberry blonde, messy hair and violet eyes. At first most people think Abraham and I are twins. We do look an awful lot alike, but he's one year older. I like mechanics, playing the flute, and singing. I get the ability to play the flute from my dad and my voice from my mom, but no one else on the island besides Phoebe likes mechanics except for me. My best friends are Roy, Matt, Heath, Benny, and Vivian. Oh, and in the paragraphs above and the paragraphs following, I'm twelve years old. Well I think that pretty much sums up myself.

Abraham and I skipped to the Garmen Mine District, happy as ever. I knocked on Roy's door and was greeted by his mother, Kathy.

"Austria, Abe! Roy and Matt are in Roy's room. Is there anything I can get y'all?" We smiled, declined, and headed straight up to Roy's room.

"RIAH! ABE!" Roy yelled happily, while Matt just blushed when he saw me.

"H-Hi Austria..." I smiled and waved at him

"Hey Matt!" Roy laughed at his shyness and whispered something in his ear.

"Wow, Riah, what project were you working on this morning?" Roy asked, noticing the excessive oil on my face. I smirked.

"I made Dad a new oven." Abraham rolled his eyes.

"Daddy's little girl." He muttered. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"You're just jealous." He didn't argue.

"So guys, let's go get Heath." Roy suggested.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Matt asked.

"It's probably not. But that's what makes it fun." Roy answered. I laughed. I was seriously looking forward to this.

"We'll set up until 02:00 AM. Riah, are you sure you're okay with being the only girl?" I glowered at him.

"No big deal. It's not like I'm anything more than friends with any of you guys." Matt blushed again and looked disappointed while Abraham got a mischievous grin.

"Oh really? I wonder what Dad would say if he knew that you were staying up with a bunch of thirteen year old boys."

"You wouldn't." I growled.

"You're right, I wouldn't." Abraham smiled and wrapped me up in a hug and we all set out for Heath's house next door.

"Hey guys." Heath greeted us.

"Hey Austria." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. Matt looked kinda mad. Now that I think about it, Roy and Abe looked kinda irritated as well.

"Let's just go." Roy said bitterly. Abraham tapped on Heath's shoulder and whispered something in his ear. Heath immediately removed his arm from around me.

"Okay." Heath looked away. We all started to head to the mine cart but I stopped.

"Was I seriously the only girl invited?"

"Yeah. Who else would we invite? You're practically one of the guys. The only problem is that Chase doesn't like us hanging out with you." I smiled at the thought of my dad.

"He just looks out for me, that's all." I shrugged. Roy rolled his eyes.

"I just wish he'd look out for you a little less." We all hopped up in the mine cart and were sent speeding all the way to the church.

"23:00. We have three hours to get ready." I directed. "Our mission: scare the living daylights out of Perry at whatever cost. He's super afraid of ghosts so I think we should go with that cover. We could talk to Tom to help get ready. He knows ALL about ghosts" I snickered. We all knew who Tom was. The church is right next the the graveyard, and Tom is a ghost there. He moved on to life in heaven, but he'll come back down to talk to us if we ask him to. I must say, he's pretty awesome. Matt looked at the ground, I forgot how much he hated talking to Tom. The whole idea freaked him out. I held out my hand for Matt to take. He just stared at me for a minute and then finally accepted.

"Okay, guys," Matt said with new confidence. "Let's go!" Roy looked satisfied by my action, while Heath and Abraham on the other hand, looked slightly angry.

"Wait," Abraham stopped. "Where's Van?"

No, Austria is NOT a Hetalia reference, thanks for asking XD.

May or may not continue. I will not continue if I don't get any reviews though. That's how I work, but I only need one.

So R&R PLEASSEEEEE
