OK, so am I the only one who thought Marco was wayyy cuter than Will? I also thought that Allie was a bit odd, like some of her lines just sounded off, but that's just me. Anyway, since the canon ending didn't give anyone to Marco, I thought I'd give him someone to fall in love with.

I awoke with a thump. Literally.

"Allie? Are you okay?" I asked, peering down at my twin sister from my top bunk.

"Yeah, I'm all right." She groaned back.

Just then our mother came rushing up the stairs, arms around a box full of, surprise, books.

"Are you all right girls? I heard a noise, an- " she paused seeing Allie on the ground. "What are you doing on the floor?"

"I guess I fell out of bed." Allie replied.

"Didn't you used to do that all the time when you were like four?" I questioned.

"Oh shut up, Ilah." She snapped back. "Besides, I bet when I was four I wasn't dreaming about medieval combat."

"Well, as long as you two are up, you can unpack." Mom suggested.

I responded with a heavy dose of sarcasm. "Sure thing Mom! Want us to organize your books as well?" As usual, she was completely ignorant, while Allie started laughing behind her back. "Oh no sweetie. Don't worry, your father and I will handle the books." And with that she went back downstairs.

"God she's so oblivious." I sighed.

"Yeah, well we'll probably thank her for it later on down the road. Come on, let's get started."

We had worked our way through about half of the boxes before we found the two smaller ones that contained all our school stuff. In each one there was a small, cream colored brochure for our new prison I mean school, Avalon High. Inside each brochure was a flyer for track and field tryouts. The flyer stated that tryouts would be held until 5 o'clock after the first day of the semester, and that all were welcome to try out. Allie and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. We both love to run, and we each specialized in our own events, me in the sprints and her in the long distance, and we were really good. But, because the longest time we ever stayed one house was six months, it was obvious that even if we made the team, we wouldn't be around to see the end of the season. Allie passed me her flyer, and I crumpled them up and shot two three-pointers one after another into the trashcan.

I sighed. "I think I'm going to go downstairs and help them with the books"

"Help or read?" Allie shot back.

"Touché sister, but I have to make sure they haven't been holding out on me. The last one I read on Lancelot and Guinevere almost made me throw up from all the lovey-dovey stuff."

"I'll remember that when I married and you're an old cat lady"

"Screw you!" I huffed, as I left the room and headed down.

Downstairs, it was obvious that the books had already made a permanent home for themselves; everywhere.

"All unpacked sweetie?" My dad asked.

"Getting there," I replied. "I see King Arthur and his Merry Men have once again taken over the house."

"It was Robin Hood who had the Mary Men, sweetie. Arthur had the Knights of the Round Table. You know that!"

"Yes, I do. How could I not know that, when it's all you guys talk about?"

"We're professors of medieval literature, Ilah. It's our job." Dad soothed.

"I know, I know, but you guys talk about King Arthur so much, I'm starting to dream about him. And not even like most girls who dream about knights in shining armor. Mine have dirt all over them, and BO, and are missing half their teeth." I replied.

Dad paused, "that's actually quite accurate. During Arthurian times, dental hygiene wasn't considered to be-"

"Ew! Dad! Seriously?" I cut him off as I hopped up on the counter. "Well, I don't even know why we bothered to unpack. We're just going to move in six months, right? I mean which is great, I love always moving, like you always say once to live in one place right?" They both fell silent. "What?"

"Well, " Mom started. "It's not going to be six months this time." She stopped, glanced dad, and then continued. "Ilah, we're going to be here for three years. We were just offered contracts at the University, and this place is so…special. Now we know that three years is a long time, bu-"

"Whoa, whoa, wait. So we're going to be at Avalon High until graduation? So we can be on the track team, and finish the season, and make actual friends?"

They nodded.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

So there's the first chapter! Let me know what you think, this is my first story ever, so please review but go easy.

Thanks for reading! Cheers, CC
