SATURDAY, JUNE 1: Denver, Colorado

I choked on my potatoes. "What?" I spluttered, dropping my fork.

Mom cleared her throat. "You heard me; we're-"

Maya, my - what do I call her? My twin? My triplet? - sister coughed. "Oh, we heard you," she assured mom, her eyes wide. "But why?"

Mom set down her napkin. "Your father-"

I internally groaned. Oh, joy. My mom gave me a look and I realized I must've groaned out loud. Maya was smirking next to me, while my other - what do I call him? My twin, or my triplet? Ah, whatever. The point is, Dylan was shaking with silent laughter while Ari, my younger brother, was shoveling broccoli into his mouth, not listening.

I blink innocently, cocking my head to the side while I gripped the chair, trying to to shake like Dylan was.

Mom cleared her throat. "I am aware that you are aware that-"

Ari snickered.

Mom glared at him and cleared her throat again. "Fine. We're moving to Phoenix because your father's will was found and he left us a mansion there. Remember the one you stayed in for two summers when you were younger? That one. Now, in two weeks, after school is out, I expect you to be all packed and your goodbyes all said because we're leaving right after your bell rings. Understand?"

Maya rolled her eyes, Dylan's fork bent just a little, and of course, Ari was oblivious to it all.

"Yes, Mom," I ground out. I finished the rest of my dinner and set my dishes in the sink. I heard the clatter of dishes behind me and knew that my siblings had followed suit.

We split our ways at the top of the stairs: Dylan went to his room, Ari went to his, and Maya went to hers - which was connected to mine through a bathroom.

I stalked into my own room, hearing Dylan's door slam, Ari collapse onto his bed, and Maya open the connected bathroom's door. I slumped down into my swivel chair.

"Hey," Maya said, slipping into my room.

I moaned. "Why do we have to move?"

Shi shrugged, sitting on my bed. She tugged off her jacket and extended her wings - yeah. We have wings. We're 2% avian (bird, for those of you out there who don't know), and 98% human. Ari's 2% wolf, though (A/N: Yes, I know he's supposed to be evil and 50% wolf, but I like Ari and he's staying good. So suck it up).

That's because our wonderful father Jeb Batchelder decided - 'Hey! Why don't we torture a few innocent kids by mixing animal DNA into them?' and who better to do it on than his own children?

Maya and I are identical - dirty blond hair, brown eyes - except that I'm about an inch taller, her hair is a bit more curly, and it has a bright magenta streak in it. Dylan, on the other hand, has bright blond hair and caribbean blue eyes. Ari looks like Dylan, except his eyes are bright blue.

I tugged got up off of my chair and tugged open my closet, punching in a passcode to the lock Jeb had installed for me while he was still good. A section of the wall slid open, revealing a small room with a four chairs, desk, two cameras and a tripod, as well as a green sheet covering one of the walls. I turned to see Maya gaping - oh yeah. She didn't know.

Moving on...

I gestured for her to follow me, and then yelled out, "Dylweed! Ari! In here!"

Almost literally wo seconds later, both boys were inside. I told them all to take a seat and set up one of the cameras. I grinned, turning it on.

"Say hello to the fans, guys."

SATURDAY, JUNE 1: New York, New York

Fang gave a small smirk at the camera in front of him. "Hi, everyone," he said. "I have news, but I don't know if it's good or bad. Since I'm not one to beat around the bush, I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm moving. From this city of parties fron nine to three, regardless of AM or PM, to the much quieter land of Phoenix, Arizona. Next week, after school ends, I have one more week in NY until we move." He sighed, rubbing his temples. "That means the little devil, my sister, Lissa, is coming. There may or may not be a video in two weeks, but if there's not, I'll do a double the week after. I promise..."

SATURDAY, JUNE 1: Seattle, Washington

"Gazzy, get off of me!"

"Iggy, let go of my foot!"

"I don't have your foot!"

"Yes, you do!"

"Oh, whoops, that's me."

"Angel, move your hand!"

"Where is it?"

"In my face!"

"Youch- Iggy, that's my groins! OW!"

"Sorry."

The three untangled themselves, panting slightly. They took one look at each other - the red faces, the messy hair, and the rumpled clothing, and burst out laughing. Once they all calmed down, they all sat around the laptop in front of them, looking at the camera.

"Hi!" Angel chirped, grinning. She pushed Gazzy, who was sitting next to her, who bumped into Iggy, causing them both to begin to tumble to the ground.

"Hey!" Gazzy cried, reaching out and grabbing Angel's ankle. "You said that last week! It's my turn this week!" He pulled, trying to take her down with them as they fell of the top bunk.

Angel was hanging on by one hand to the bed, but she quickly grabbed it with the other.

"Hey!" Iggy yelled out, too. He grabbed her other ankle. "It's my turn!" He yanked, effectively causing her to fall. "You two did it- OOMF!"

Angel giggled, getting up off of her brother and climbing back onto the bunk bed. Gazzy climbed in on her right and Iggy on her left.

"Sorry," she apologized to the camera, but the stopped before she said anything else. "Wait- who am I kidding? I'm not sorry. This happens every week, so if you need an apology, you're in the wrong place."

"We're moving," Gazzy interjected.

Iggy muttered, "Way to be blunt, bro," earning and hand to the face.

"Anyways," Angel interrupted. "We are. To Phoenix, Arizona. We're leaving in two weeks, which gives us two weeks to pack and find a way to get Total into a dog crate without him either biting one of us or destroying the crate."

"Now!" Gazzy announced, throwing his hands up dramatically. "It's time for 'Iggy and Gazzy Blow Stuff Up-'"

"'-While Total is out of the Way!" snapped Angel.

"I said sorry!" Gazzy exclaimed.

Angel glared at him. "He was thrown back forty-six yards!" she growled. "He broke both of his left legs! He still can't run as fast as he could!"

Gazzy winced at the glare and opened his mouth to retort, but Iggy, not wanting another brawl, quickly said, "Yes, yes, Angel. We'll be more careful..."

TWO WEEKS LATER - SATURDAY, JUNE 15: Phoenix, Arizona

"Ella!" Nudge shouted from the bottom of the stairs. "Can you move any slower? I mean, I bet a snail would be faster than you! And those are pretty slow. Do you know if a slug is slower or faster than a snail? I think it's faster, you know, without the shell. Like, turtles are slow and they have shells. But turtles are cool! I liked that story with the tortoise and the- MMMF!"

Valencia Martinez peeled her hand away from her daughter's mouth, handing the girl a cookie from the tray she had. "Nudge, quiet. Your sister's coming down in about three minutes; she couldn't find her phone." Then she exited the room into the kitchen.

Nudge nodded and dashed to the closet, where she pulled out her blue flats and new sunglasses. She then put on a new rose pink fedora with a orchid purple stripe around the brim.

Ella then came hurtling down the stairs, nearly crashing into Nudge as she rocketed towards the closet. There, she got her own green flats and sunglasses, as well as another fedora - only it was golden orange with a highlight yellow stripe.

"Mom, we're going to meet the new neighbor!" Ella yelled back into the house, snatching half of Nudge's cookie away.

"Which one?" Valencia yelled back, much to the girls' surprise.

"What?" Nudge asked. "There's more than one?"

Valencia appeared in the entrance hall's doorway, holding a towel. "You didn't notice? The Kalfens, the Smiths, and the Andis all moved. We have three new neighbors, all moving in today."

Nudge and Ella exchanged looks. "Which houses, again?"

Valencia face-palmed (she was just that awesome). "There's a single mother with four kids across from us, another single mother with two kids next to them, and next to us is a family of two parents and three kids."

Nudge's eyes widened. "Whoa," she said. "That's a lot of kids."

Valencia smiled, wiping her hands on her towel. "Yeah. There're three bags by the door, if you can drop them off. The Griffiths are right to the left of us, the Rides are across from us, and the Walkers are to the left of the Rides."

Ella opened her mouth to say something, but Valencia gave a knowing smile and said, "You won't have to worry about screaming fans or overreactions. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you recognized them yourselves!" She pushed them towards the front door, handing them three large, sealed plastic bags and opening the door for them.

"Wait, mom, what did you mean-" Nudge started, but Valencia only winked and shut the door behind them.

Ella humphed, looking at her younger sister. They both looked out at the neighborhood: It was six houses- er, mansions, Three on one side and three on the other. The 'Griffith' house, as the 'Walker' house was, seemed perfectly calm and normal. Either the new people had already settled or they hadn't arrived yet. On the other hand, the 'Ride' house was complete chaos.

Nudge frowned. Griffiths, Walker, Ride... she thought. Where have I heard those before?

Aaaaaand the prologue is done. Yes, this is the story I've put my others on hiatus for.

R&R :)
