Everyone remembers long ago when Anubis house along with the entire school was almost destroyed. The students of Anubis, Sibuna, saved everyone. Those kids had probably saved the world, and graduated all in such a short time. They all grew up and went their separate ways. Of course, they all sort of stayed in touch. Some of them had to, considering they started families together. Now they all have kids of their own, and it's the start of a new school year. As usual the school grounds were busy with parents and children finding their way around or the first time. Kids whose parents went there had an advantage of knowing where to go. Others had to figure things out on their own.
A small black car pulled into the grounds slowly, avoiding pedestrians and watching out for school teachers. Slowly the car came to a stop. The doors opened, and three teens jumped out, eager to get a look at the campus up close for the first time. "Hey , hey!" their mother shouted after them through her window. "Help your father with the bags!" A tall blonde man stepped out from the drivers side, heading toward the back of the car.
"Ah, let them have a look, Joy." The man heaved several trunks out of the back as the brunette woman stepped out to help him.
"Honestly Jerome they're teenagers, not children. They should know better." Joy hauled the last bag out and set it down, letting out a huff of air. Jerome smiled at the girl, taking her hand.
"Yes, but you should know teenagers don't do what they're told." Joy laughed at him, tiptoeing up to kiss him on the lips. That happened to be the moment that the three teens decided to come back to collect their things.
"Ew, guys, gross!" One of the boys said.
"Parents making out in public, gross!" The other said. Joy looked at her boys, annoyed.
"Be happy we're not kissing you," she told them, reaching for her boys teasingly. The boys jumped back, away from their mom's clutches.
"No way!"
"Not on this face. I have to look good for the ladies." Their sister rolled her eyes.
"Any lady who would want a face like that must be blind... Or desperate." Her brother got furious.
"Sophia!" Joy said, trying to hold back her laughter. "That's not polite. You need to be nice to your brothers." Sophia apologized, and their parents handed them their trunks. Another car pulled up next to theirs.
"Hey!" Jerome shouted, smiling. It was his best friend Alfie Lewis. Alfie parked and got out, greeting Jerome while Willow helped their daughter with her things.
"Hey buddy!" Alfie rekindled their bromance with a hug, ruffling the blonde's hair. "Still as big as ever, I see." Jerome chuckled. Willow and their daughter joined them a minute later.
"Hey guys!" She greeted with a cheesy Willow smile. Jerome and Joy waved to her.
"Willow! So good to see you again. And this must be... Alfina," Joy said, still a bit shocked at the name choice. Willow nodded.
"Hi," Alfina greeted, smiling. Sophia smiled at her, waving. Another car came up, this time it was a cab.
"Oh, that must be KT," Jerome said, looking. He was right. The cab slowed to a stop, and KT hops out with a young boy who must be her son.
"Hey everyone!" KT yells, rushing over to everyone, holding the boy's hand. "This is my son, Tree. Say hi."
"Hey," Tree greets. The others smile awkwardly, not sure what to think.
"Hang on, let me get my husband out of the car. It was a pain to get him on the plane. My god." KT laughs, going back to the cab to get her husband and Tree's bags. What she brings back is two bags, and a tree stump. Jerome leans over to Alfie and whispers.
"How much you wanna bet she went off the rocker right out of school?" KT comes back with her 'husband', smiling.
"This is my husband, guys. I know what you're thinking, 'Oh KT, you know he's a tree stump, right?' Yes, I know, but I mean, we've just always had this connection, you know? And we have Tree together, so that's all I need."
"Whatever makes you happy, girl," Joy said, giving a hug to KT. "Hey, has anyone seen Mara and Fabes yet?" Most of them shook their heads.
"Did they arrive yet?" Alfie asked. The adults stood around sharing blank looks.
"Did someone say our names?" a familiar male voice called. It was Fabian and Mara, with their kids, James and Lily. "Hey guys!" Fabian and Mara hugged their old friends while their kids mingled with the others. As they all stood around catching up, they almost didn't notice the red car pulling into the school grounds. None of them could clearly see who it was through the windows, but there was a hunch. They car parked a little bit away from the others. A door opened, and a leg stepped out of the vehicle. The campus would know those boots anywhere. Patricia Williamson was back.
Now Patricia Miller, the fiery redhead stepped out of the car in a dark colored tanktop and a black mini skirt with her famous boots on and black sunglasses. Swung over her arm was a medium sized dark purple purse. She looked very sexy, and she clearly knew it. Patricia looked the same as high school, not looking much older. Behind her trailed two kids. Well, teenagers. A boy who looked a lot like Eddie, and a mini Patricia. They filed out of the vehicle and headed over to the big blob of people while the strong dirty blonde grabbed bags.
"Guess who's back?" she shouted from a good few feet away. The others turned to see her and got excited, shouting things like 'hey!' or 'there she is!' and things of that nature. "You know I'm not much of a huger but aw what the hell, why not?" she said, smiling, hugging her friends. Eddie soon joined them and did the same.
"You look good, Patty!" Joy complimented.
"Well look at you, Miss 'I had three kids and am still looking fine'! I've only had two, and that's quite enough." Both girl's laughed and talked. The teens joined the rest of the kids while the adults talked.
"Hey," the dirty blonde boy said, standing next to his sister. "I'm Eddie, and this is my sister Scarlett." Scarlett gave a small wave, crossing her arms over her chest. The other kids said hi and whatnot back, smiling. Isaac stepped forward, introducing everyone.
"Hey. I'm Isaac, that's my twin, Oscar, our sister Sophia, that's James, Lily, Alfina, and Tree." His eyes landed on Scarlett and her hair. "Why is your hair red?" he commented, looking at it weird. Scarlett raised a brow, looking at the boy.
"Why is your face busted?" Isaac, very much confused, gave her a stranger look.
"It's not." The next thing he knew, the girl's fist was in his face.
"Do you want it to be?" she threatened. The boy's eyes widened like an owl's. He backed away slightly, shaking his head. Scarlett put her fist away and Eddie awkwardly chuckled, trying to clear the tension.
"Sorry about that, she's usually friendlier than that," he explained, throwing Scarlett a look. She merely shrugged. "So are you guys all in Anubis?" The other kids nodded. "Awesome! So are we. Look's like we all took after our parents, huh?" Oscar spoke up.
"Well as long as there's cute girls, I'm down with that." Some of the girls rolled their eyes. He shrugged it off. Taking a look around, it was pretty clear which kids belonged to which parents. The looks said a lot about them.
Eddie Miller Jr looked just like his father. Dirty blonde hair, big gorgeous brown eyes, and the tall factor definitely. He had the same skin tone as his father, and even a bit of the American accent in there. Personality wise, they could have been clones. You couldn't leave him alone with a freshly stocked fridge for more than a minute. That's why his middle name was Pancake. He was friendly, but also had a bit of his father's tude to him. Being defensive was also a trait he gained from his father, and it came in handy often. Eddie was also very protective of his sister, Scarlett. He was sixteen, and she was fifteen, although Eddie treated her like she was much younger at times. Scarlett Miller was a complete miniature version of her mother right from the looks down to the personality. There was no denying that they were mother and daughter, and some people often mistook them for sisters because Patricia looked younger than she was. She can definitely take care of herself.
Now, onto the Clarke siblings. Isaac and Oscar were twins, but not identical. Isaac looked like their father with the blonde hair and good looks. Blonde, blue eyed, and mysterious. What he likes to call, a triple threat. Oscar however, looked like their mum. Brown hair, light brown eyes. He was a bit of a hopeless romantic, and yet a flirt. He was the sweeter of the twins, definitely. Oscar was also easier to approach, whereas Isaac is the kind of guy that you're not sure if you should trust. The were both sixteen as well, and like Scarlett, their sister Sophia just turned fifteen. She had light brown hair like her mum, but blue eyes like her dad. She was very sarcastic, but friendly, sweet, and sensitive as well. She was half and half of her parents, but their better halves.
Alfina was a mocha girl, having the parents she did. She was very funny like her father Alfie, but also kind of free spirited and kooky like her mum Willow. She was what kids would call a flower child. Sort of there, but sort of not, you know? She instantly bonded with KT's adopted son, Tree. Even though Tree was adopted, he kind of did resemble KT. He was adopted as a baby, so he grew up with KT and his father. He was a lot like KT and didn't care that his foster father was a tree stump. He had a mother who loved him, which was all he needed. Alfina respected that, even though the others found it a bit strange.
That left just Lily and James now. Lily and James Rutter were also twins, but they kind of did look similar. Both of them looked a little like both of their parents. They were both also really smart, like their parents. Lily had the bluish eyes from her father, that sometimes changed colors and James got the dark eyes from his mum. James resembled Mara a bit more, whereas Lily resembled Fabian a bit more. Lily had darker hair whereas James had sort of a lighter color. Both of them were fifteen, almost sixteen. They look out for each other a lot, and can tell what the other is thinking just by the looks they make. A little bit of twin telepathy, if you will.
The adults soon called to the kids, telling them it was time to go settle in. They all followed, grabbing their bags, eager to get to Anubis. When they reached the house, all of the adults got a little sting in their chests, the memories flooding back to them all. To their surprise, Trudy was still the house mother. She came out to greet the newbies when she realized who else was hear. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. "Oh I can hardly believe it! All my old lovelies, back again. All grown up! And bringing me my new lovelies!" Trudy hugged all of her old lovelies, smiling as a few tears dripped down her face. "Oh, well now I can be sure that we'll all get along now. Hello, dearies," she greeted to the teens. "I'm Trudy, your house mother! I made lots of goodies so help yourselves, dearies." They all smiled, said hello, and then went for the goodies. They would do room assignments later.
Also to their surprise, Mr. Sweet made a little guest appearance a few minutes later. "Hello, everyone!" he greeted.
"Dad!" Eddie said with a smile, hugging his father. Little Eddie and Scarlett heard the news and rushed over.
"Granddad!" they called, going over to hug him. Eric hugged them back, smiling.
"Hello, guys! I hope you're satisfied then Trudy. Made the housing arrangements myself. I knew you'd like them." Trudy blew Mr. Sweet a thank you kiss, going over to meet all the new housemates. "And hello to you all too. It's been too long." The adults said hello to Mr. Sweet and had a bit of a reunion. Little Eddie and Scarlett had left again to join the others.
"Your grandfather is the headmaster?" Isaac asked the two of them in disbelief. Scarlett answered him.
"Yup. And don't worry, that won't stop me from giving you a bloody lip if you get too close," she told him, walking away to join the girls. Once again, Isaac's eyes widened in shock. He turned to Eddie.
"You're sister is something, eh?" Eddie nodded, watching her and then looking back at the boy.
"Yeah..."
"But she's kind of cute." Eddie glared at him when his head was turned. Back where the adults were, they were explaining how they had to get going.
"Ah, I understand. Places to go, things to do. It was so lovely to see you all again! Hope to be seeing you again soon, eh?" Mr. Sweet chuckled. "Well, off you all go then. Go on. They're in great hands." The headmaster smiled, assuring them. The parents all waved goodbye to their kids, having given them their lecture speeches on the ride there. The kids waved bye back, and the next thing they knew their parents were gone. They'd be in boarding school for the next few years. It was all starting now.
