A 14 year old girl with H/L H/C hair and E/C eyes walked the busy streets enjoying the nice weather. She walked past a fruit vendor bumping into the table causing the fruit to fall to the ground.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry." she said crouching down to help pick it up.
"Damn it kid, just be more careful next time." He said pushing her along.
"Of course sorry." She said walking away quickly. "Moron." She said pulling out an apple she had snuck into her coat. It was early spring so it wasn't to cold out, but still cold enough for a coat.
She bit into the apple walking around for a few hours before noticing two men walking the opposite way she was. One had shaggy blonde hair and bright emerald green eyes with huge eyebrows, the other also had blonde hair with a strange cowlick sticking out and sky blue eyes.
As they walked passed she bumped into the one with big eyebrows and green eyes. As she was about to walk away she felt someone grab her arm.
"Hey, what the hell?" She yelled trying to pull her arm away.
"I'm sorry but did you just take my wallet?" An angry British voice asked her.
She stopped struggling and looked at him, she had never been caught before. The look she gave him quickly turned into a glare.
"No of course not! What do I look like a, crook?" She yelled trying to sound angry.
"Then please let me see your hand." He asked.
"What, no way!" She yelled.
"Come on Arthur leave the kid alone." The second blonde said.
"I'm not a kid! I'm 14!" She said.
"Just let me see your hand and you can leave I'll even apologize." The Brit said.
She glared at him and slowly opened her hand showing his wallet.
"I thought so. You know I'm going to have to report this to the police so they can tell your parents. " he said in a scolding manner.
"Oh come on really? Can't you just let me go? She complained.
"No, now Alfred please sit with her while I contact the authorities. " He said as they walked over to a bench.
The other man named Alfred sat down next to her and said, "Good try kid, but Arthur's a cop so you can't really pull that on him." He said with a smile.
"I told you I'm not a kid." She grumbled glaring at the Brit. "Damn caterpillar eyes." She said crossing her arms.
On the phone Arthur was talking to the police, "Yes, hello. This is Arthur Kirkland I'd like to report an attempt of robbery. Yes a child was trying to pickpocket me and I'd like someone to take her home." The person on the other end asked for her name. "Let me ask, excuse what is your name?" He asked turning towards F/N.
"Princess Shamalamadingdong." She told him.
Arthur sighed while Alfred laughed. "You're not helping you twit!" Arthur yelled at him. "Just tell me your name and this can be over.
"I already told you- hey!" She yelled as he grabbed her purse and took out her wallet.
"Her school I.D. says, F/N L/N." When he said this he could hear a sigh on the other side of the phone.
"H/C hair? E/Y eyes?" He asked.
"Umm yes why do you ask?"
"Same girl has been in trouble for disturbing the peace with her friends at the mall and minor vandalism with a Sharpie . This is the first pickpocket or maybe the first time she's been caught. Anyway, we'll send her Child Services worker over." The man said hanging up.
Arthur turned to the girl and gave her back her purse and wallet.
"So this isn't your first time getting in trouble with the law then?" He asked crossing his arms.
"The other reasons are because people are too uptight and can't take a joke." She told him.
"Well someone will be here in a few minutes."
"So then you're going to leave right Bushybrows?" She asked him hopeful.
"No we'll wait here." He told her annoyed with the nickname.
"That one's better than Iggy. " Alfred laughed.
"I told you not to call me that you twit!"
"Iggbrows is the best." F/N added.
"Totally dude!" The American cheered while his friend glared at the both of them.
A few moments later a silver sedan pulled up and F/N groaned.
"Of course they send her." She muttered.
A woman with blue eyes and black hair stepped out and glared at F/N.
"Well young lady, explain. " she said crossing her arms.
"I was just taking a walk and-"
"Trying to steal from me." Arthur added.
"Can it! Anyway, I was just taking a walk."
"Do, John and Samantha know?" The woman asked her.
"They should have figured it out by now." She told her with a sweet smile.
"F/N, why do you keep running away?" The woman asked sound almost defeated.
F/N stayed quiet, she didn't really want to tell Mrs Crowley why she kept running away, to her it just didn't feel like home.
Mrs Crowley sighed and said, "Well guess what, now since this is the 5th time something like this has happened you're no longer welcomed at their house. They say you'll be a bad influence on the other children. "
F/N looked down at the ground.
"She could stay with us." Alfred said. "What?! Says who?" Arthur said sounding not too thrilled about having someone who tried to rob him in his house.
"I'm afraid it doesn't work like-"
"Oh come on, she'll go to a group home if she doesn't and you must know those places suck. Come on just until you can find another family for her to stay with." Alfred said.
"Why are you inviting someone to stay with us without asking me or the others first?!" Arthur asked.
"Because she seems cool and she needs a place to stay. And its the hero's job to help people! " Alfred yelled proudly.
"Others what do you mean?" Mrs Crowley asked.
"Well there's me, my twin brother Matthew, my half brother Arthur over here, and our cousin Francis." Alfred told her.
"I don't know you'll have to come to the office and talk with the people there." Mrs Crowley told them. "Seriously? I don't want to be with all guys!" F/N complained.
"F/N hush please. " Mrs Crowley begged her.
F/N crossed her arms and complained under her breath. Alfred and Arthur got to their car and followed Mrs Crowley and F/N to the office.
"This is stupid. " F/N muttered.
"Please be nice they're trying to be nice to you." Mrs Crowley told her.
F/N sat down in an overstuffed chair that sink in a bit making the air hiss out. Arthur and Alfred sit next to her in identical chairs.
After about 45 minutes of waiting in complete silence Mrs Crowley comes out. "It took some convincing, and a quick background check, but until we can find another foster home the board allowed F/N to stay with your family. It should only take about two weeks if anything happens call me." Mrs Crowley says handing Arthur her card.
"Thankfully I will. Well F/N it appears you will be staying with us for the next couple of weeks. I expect you to behave." He told her.
To which she replied with a mocking hand talking motion.
"Oh just come along." He said storming out.
"Don't mind him he's a bit of a hot head but he's cool once you get to know him." Alfred tells her.
On the car ride to Arthur's and Alfred's house F/N and Arthur got into more arguments. "Just shut up grandpa I am not going to turn down my music! " F/N yelled after the third time he asked her.
"Grandpa? I'm in my 20s!" He tells her insulted.
"Yeah 1920s." She said. Alfred couldn't help but laugh.
"See she's totally cool." He says.
They pull up to a big Victorian style house with three floors, a giant yard, a curving driveway, and a balcony attached to the front of the house.
F/N couldn't help but be impressed, it was a lot better than the over crowded houses she usually stayed at.
"Well this is it." Arthur says as he pulls up.
"Come on I'll show you to the guest room, and we can go shopping for some clothes tomorrow if you want." Alfred said stepping out.
"Yeah thanks." F/N says following him.
The inside was just as nice as the outside, it had a grand staircase, a huge living area and just as big if not bigger kitchen. In the backyard there had an elegant rose garden and a huge in ground swimming pool.
Alfred leads her up stairs down a long hallway. He opens a door and inside was a queen sized pillow top bed with fluffy blankets a plain wooden dresser and a TV. The room itself was pretty plain but it was still better than the last room she had where she had to share it with four other girls.
"This is it, hope its ok. I'm going to take a nap, see you later ok." Alfred said as he walked out and headed to a different room.
F/N sat on the bed and turned on the T.V. flipping through the 5000 channels.
"Damn, did I end up in Daddy Warbucks house or something? " she said to herself. An hour passes before someone knocks on the door.
"F/N I made dinner come eat." Arthur says.
"I'm coming. " she says standing up. She meets him outside the door and follows him down stairs and sits at the long dining table.
Arthur puts down a plate of what almost appeared as food. She stares at for a moment then says, "is this payback for me trying to pickpocket you?" She looks at him and he scowls
"No, why whats wrong with it?" He asked.
"Look at it, I wouldn't give it to my worse enemy. " she tells. "Look I'll just cook, give thirty minutes." She says walking into the kitchen ignoring his protests.
Thirty minutes later a new dinner with potatoes, pan fried fish and steamed vegetables was set on the table.
"Well I have to admit it looks good." Arthur says.
"Dude what smells good, did you order out or something? " Alfred called running down the stairs.
"No I cooked, I wasn't in the mood for food poisoning. " F/N said sitting down.
"Good call dude, it looks amazing. " Alfred said sitting down.
Just then the door opened and two other people walked in the house, one was a man with almost shoulder length hair and blues eyes, the other looked alot like Alfred but with longer wavy hair and violet colored eyes.
"Wow, Alfred did cook or something eh?" The man with violet eyes asked in a hushed tone.
"Nope actually."
"Then you must 'ave ordered out non?" The other one asked.
"No, I didn't order out, it was cooked here by-" before he could finish he was interrupted again.
"You let Arthur cook?! Do you want to kill us all?!" The one with longer hair asked.
"I'm actually not that hungry anymore. " the other said nervously.
"Dudes just listen. F/N cooked it, she's going to stay with us for a couple of weeks until child services can find her a foster home." Alfred said pointing to F/N.
The other two turned and noticed F/N.
"Oh, bonjour mon cher. I am the beautiful Francis. It is a pleasure to meet you." Francis says smiling at her taking her hand.
She rips it away and says, "yeah don't touch me."
"Hello, my name's Matthew. " Matthew says smiling at her softly.
"So, you cooked this meal then?" Francis asks sitting down.
"Yeah, it was either that, or eat poison aka Arthur's so called cooking. " she says.
"There's nothing wrong with my cooking! " Arthur says.
"Trust me mon ami, not even a dog would eat that." Francis said causing Arthur to glare at him.
"Shut up Frog no one ask you! "
"Wow, F/N this is really good." Matthew says between bites.
"Thanks I was in charge of the cooking back at the other house I was staying at. " F/N said with a shrug.
After dinner F/N went right to bed wanting these two weeks to end soon. She never liked staying in a foster home for long, it wasn't her home and never could be. She went through her backpack which held some pajamas and some everyday clothes that Mrs Crowley had gotten from the last house she was at. She changed into her pajamas and laid in the soft bed and quickly fell asleep
