Hello, I started this story in my junior year of high school and lost track of it for a while. I will try to keep it going as I enjoy writing it. Sadly I cannot promise any steady updates, so I am sorry for anyone who wishes to keep up with this story. It is also the first story I have posted for public viewing so if anyone has some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I look up at the big house in front of me. It is a light cream color with dark brown trim, porch, and roof. The yard is large with a border of rose bushes and a weeping willow tree stands on the left side. Beneath the willow are a small bench table and a swing. On the right side of the house next to the second story window, is a mid sized oak tree with a fairly new and rather large tree house in it. The last owners had used it as a room for the oldest son before they moved out three years before.

I walk into the house carrying my travel bags. There is a small closet to the right and the living room opens up to the left. Out the front window I can see the willow and the road. I walk past the room and down the hall a bit more to the dining room which leads to the kitchen. Both are on the right side of the hall. Across the hall is a bathroom and next to that is the downstairs bedroom. Down at the end of the hall is a set of stairs. I continue upwards to see another hall with one door on each side and one at the end of the hall.

I look inside each room and decide I want the one on the right. It has a small balcony that has a gate on it facing the back of the house. A short bridge connects it to the treehouse, which is even bigger up close. Inside each room are a bathroom and a walk in closet. I place my bag in the closet and walk to the living room to grab the rest of my things.

"Fratello!" I stop and turn to the front door to see my sister standing there. I sigh as she runs up and hugs me. After a moment I pull away and look at her.

"Feli? I thought you and Dad weren't coming until Monday?" I say surprised. She sets her bags down and places her hands on her hips. Her face turns red as her curl bounces with the movement and she glares at me. For someone so nice and happy her glare can be scary.

"You were supposed to be here on Monday too, Fratello!"

"You avoided my question, Feli. Why are you here three days ahead of schedule?"

Feli sighs and looks down at the floor, defeat in her amber eyes. "I didn't want to eat Dad's cooking…."

I blink at her mumbled response. With a sigh I grab her bags and start walking to the upstairs bedroom on the left. She follows me the whole way. Finally I can't help but to chuckle and pat my pouting twin on the head. She looks up surprised. I almost never laugh.

" How about this Feli… after we move our stuff to our rooms we'll go have lunch then get a bunch of groceries and I'll make you a big dinner tonight. Okay?"I ask her. Her eyes light up and she nods, quickly running downstairs to grab her things. I roll my eyes at her eagerness and go down to help her.

Two hours later we had unpacked everything and set up the house, furniture and all. I grab my keys and holler for Feli, who runs past me and jumps into my small four door truck. I lock up the house and get in the truck, pulling out of the driveway and heading down the street. I glance at the neighboring houses as we pass by, noting how they all have slightly different cultural designs.

I take us to a restaurant that I saw on my drive in, about ten minutes from our house. It is called The World's Diner and it seems to be rather nice. We get out and walk inside, Feli as usual, is latched on my arm so she doesn't wander off. The waitress walks up with a smile and seats us, leaving a menu and taking our drink orders.

Feli talks the whole time about anything and everything she can think of. I listen slightly nodding my head every now and then. The waitress comes back with our drinks and she takes our orders. She tells us that we will have a different waiter bring our food, since her shift was over. We thank her and Feli continues talking. A new waiter brings our food.

Finally Feli decides to stop talking and eat. The silence is calming and peaceful, that is until Feli suddenly drops her fork and stares at the door. I turn to see what she is watching. Coming through the door are four people. The first is a young man with brown hair in a ponytail and green eyes. He is laughing as the shorter girl with dark brown hair and indigo eyes hold his hand while blushing. Behind them are two blonds. The guy has a stern face with strict blue eyes and slicked back hair. The girl has short messy hair and a slightly more relaxed look within her blue eyes.

"Fratello, isn't she pretty?" Feli says quietly.

"Who, the brunette?" I ask her.

"No the blonde."

"I guess, she seems a little serious though." The group is seated in the table next to us. Feli quickly starts speaking to me in Italian.

"Should I try talking to her brother? I think she'd be really nice once we started talking. Please tell me to talk to her brother or I might not have the courage!"

"Dammit, Feli shut up! Just talk to her already!" Feli stops and smiles before turning to them. They were looking at us and I realized that we had been rather loud. We usually are when speaking in our native tongue.

Feli's auburn ponytail bounces as she starts speaking quickly, still in Italian. I roll my eyes and flick her in the back of her head.

"Feli use English, I don't think they understand Italian."

"Sorry Fratello! Ciao I'm Felicia Vargas and this is my big brother, Lovino. We just moved here today! You people looked nice so I wanted to say hi and see if we could be friends! I don't have any here since we just moved but I thought 'Hey, how hard can it be?' Especially since you're so pretty Miss!"

They all look slightly overwhelmed at Feli's little speech but finally the blond girl spoke.

"Pardon me but who are you talking to?" she spoke in a thick accent, German I think. Feli laughs happily.

"You of course! You are a very pretty girl Bella!"

"O-oh… thank you but my name is not Bella. My name is Monika and this is my brother Ludwig, our cousin Sophia and her fiancé Daniel. It is a pleasure to meet you." Monika indicates the others as she speaks. I chuckle lightly, gaining their attention.

"What is so funny?" Ludwig asks also in a German accent.

"Bella means beautiful in Italian." I say with a small smirk. He looks back at Feli disgustedly.

"My sister is straight so you had better not be hitting on her Italian!" he says. Monika gasps and the others have shocked expressions as my smirk drops. Feli looks shocked but she brushes it off with a sad smile.

"Oh I forgot to tell you…. I'm a crossdresser. I am actually a guy so you don't need to worry about your sorella." Feli says quietly, looking down.

"A cross dresser! Oh that's just great! Just listen to me freak stay away from my family, both of you!" Ludwig stands up and grabs Monika pulling her away. She looks back at us. I had moved to hold Feli as she started to cry. I look up at Monika and as our eyes meet, hers harden in anger and disgust and I look down at Feli.

Suddenly a resounding smack echoes throughout the restaurant. Neither Feli nor I look up as we hear the words "You disgust me."

Suddenly Feli is pulled from me and I stand quickly to defend my Sorella, only to see Monika holding her tightly, petting her hair gently. I look over at Ludwig. He has a red handprint on his right cheek and a shocked look on his face as he stares at our sisters. Movement in the corner of my eye catches my attention and I watch Sophia and Daniel walk over to Ludwig.

"I believe you should leave now Ludwig, the way you planned to. I would suggest you finish your packing quickly." Sophia's voice is quiet but her eyes are cold, calculating. Daniel turns to me speaking softly.

"Do you mind if we go to your place while he clears out?"

"Yeah… just let me pay the check…." Sophia stops me though, with a hand on my shoulder.

"Why do you seem so surprised?" she asks kindly. I shake my head slowly.

"I… it's just that no-one has ever stood up for Feli before, other than me and our Dad." Sophia and Daniel smile happily.

"Well now you've got three more people!" Daniel says cheerfully as we head home.
