Chapter 1

"Mommy! Mommy!" The young blonde girl pointed to striped black kitten, " That one, she's the one. I can feel it." Her mom walked over and couldn't help but smile wider when she saw that certain sparkle in the girl's eyes.
" Okay, we'll get her." Her mom laughed, " Go sit down in the waiting room, while I fill out some papers."
The girl bounced over to the blue plastic chairs and snatched a cat magazine off the counter. Smiling she flipped through the pictures of adorable kittens and sleeping cats, but none of them were as cute as the kitten she was going to get, Tubbington.
Her eyes widened when she stoped at an article, Royal Cats. There were paintings and proffetional photos of a cat's all dressed up, and they all looked like Tubbington! She skimmed through the small text scattered on the pages. The family of cat's acttually were in a royal family. The same cat's had been in some Queen's family for five generations. The first cat was named Queen Aubergine, the girl smiled at the name.

Queen.

"Brittany!" Her mom held the kitten up, "Come hold Tubbington!" Brittany flew over and skidded to a stop, so she could reach up and grab the kitten.
"Her name is Queen Tubbington now," Brittany glowed, "She's royalty." Her mom chuckled, "I don't know if he will want to be a queen." Brittany's face srunched up as she thought about what she just heard.
Her mom patted her on the back, "It's fine, he can be a queen if you really want him to." But brittany shook her head lightly, "Lord." She lightly giggled, "His name will be Lord Tubbington."

When they got home Brittany raced to her room and got the kitten food they had bought. She layed out two small dishes on the floor of the hall way filling one with milk and the other with the food. Lord Tubbington sniffed the food, but walked away. Brittany tried to bring him back to eat it, but he didn't seem to like it.

Hmm, maybe he is just a really picky eater, like mom.

Brittany gently picked up Lord Tubbington and the food to bring them both to the kitchen counter. She replaced the dry food for the canned salmon they had just bought at the pet store. The kitten, suddenly intrigued by the new smell, pawed his way over to the fish. Brittany stared as he finished it all up licking his lips.

Ah, he must be so picky because he is royalty.

"How's he doing?" Her mom entered the kitchen with some groceries they had picked up before getting Lord Tubbington.
"We can throw away the Meow Mix, Lord Tubbington doesn't like it." Brittany stated. Her mom laughed, "We're not wasting a whole bag of cat food. If he's not eating then someone has to. Hmm, maybe that will be your dinner tonight." Brittany snapped her head towards her mom, "Noooo! I want normal people food!"
Her mom finished putting away the groceries and turned towards brittany, "Fine. Then go across the street and give Mrs. Hadley, God knows she can use more food for all those cat's she has."
Brittany took the Meow Mix and ran out the door, "Thanks Mom!"

There was a big truck out side of the house right beside theirs. Brittany stoped and decided to check out the new neighbors before going across the street.

I wonder if it's another really old rich couple, I hope they're not mean.

But then, she saw a little kid fly out the door of the house. He was three, maybe four years old. A woman who looked exactly like him walked out after him, her head tilted upwards, laughing. "Come on hijo, we need to go set up the kitchen and dining room so we all can eat tonight!"
The woman squated down and held her arms out, "Let your Papá and sister get the rest of the things." He jumped into her arms and she turned around into the house.
Brittany looked towards a huge truck and saw a little girl come out. She was carrying way too much than she should have been.

I hope she doesn't drop any of it..

The dark skined girl stoped suddenly and the stack of things she had wobbled a bit. Brittany took a step forward. The girl quickly regained her balance and kept walking. Brittany's arm was getting sore.

Oh! I almost forgot to give this to Mrs. Hadley!

Brittany swung around, but then CRASH! Brittany heard someone screaming, so she looked back and saw the girl on the floor with boxes all around her. Brittany ran over to the girl and help pick up some boxes.
"Who the hell are you?" The girl was wide eyed and assertive. "I.. um.. Well, I saw you fall. I just thought that, maybe, that you needed help."
Brittany panicked a little, worried she made the girl angry.
"Okay. I don't need it, but thanks." The girl grabed the boxes from brittany, snatching away the Meow Mix too. "Hey! That one is mine!" Brittany, now confused, tried to grab the Meow Mix. "Uhh, I don't think so. We always get this kind of food for our cat." The girl pulled it away from Brittany's immediate reach.
"No, I just bought that for my kitten, but he's royalty so he doesn't like it." Brittany kept on babbling on, "You see, he's royalty, because he is related to this one queen's cat family. They all look exactly like him, and that's why I named him with a Lord. I almost used Queen but then we found out he was a boy. So, now his name is Lord, Lord Tubbington, and he ju-"
Brittany stoped and looked up from her feet, when she noticed the other girl giggling. " Here, take it." The girl said after she controled her laughter, "I'm Santana, by the way." She smiled widley showing her perfectly straight, white teeth.
Brittany smiled, she thought the girl was cute when she smiled, "You know, you can keep it. I don't really want to go across the street anymore. And, I'm Brittany." Brittany held out her hand and Santana took it shaking very firmly.
"I don't care if you don't want it, because I really think I can help." Brittany started picked up one of the boxes and grabbed the Meow Mix and walked into Santana's house.
Santana, a bit startleed picked up the remaining two boxes and ran in after her. "Just set them on the couch." Santana threw her boxes on the floor, she knew these ones she was holing were just her bed sheets and pillows, "And thanks." Brittany looked over and saw Santana's cheeks blush. Brittany ran over and hugged her, " Anytime!" Santana awkwardly hugged back, ussually she would have just pushed away and given some mean remark, but she liked this girl. Something about her, Santana could tell that the start of middle school was going to be good.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later!" Brittany waved as she walked backwards. "Wait, Watch out!" Santana noticed a box right behind Brittany, but it was too late.
Brittany started to fall, but then jumped backwards, over the box, and landed soundly. "I'm fine, but I really do have to go, my mom will be worried." Brittany gave Santana one last smile and ran to the door, she pasted a man, probably Santana's father, and sprinted to her house.

Santana fell onto the couch and let her self smile, that girl just made her smile for no reason, and she couldn't wrap her head around it.
"Hey, perezoso, get over here and come help me bring in your brother's bed frame." Santana snapped back and walked over to help her dad, "I think you chose a good house, Paapá."
"Mhmm, I see you already made friends? That's... well, acttually that's really unsual." Her father laughed softly, "I'm glad your'e happy, Sánta."
Santana smiled even wider, she loved it when her dad called her Sánta, it was like a special nickname from him to her. As they set the bed frame down Santana looked up, "I love you Papá!" Then she ran upstairs to her room. It was her father's turn to smile, Santana only seldomly said she loved someone out loud.
Everybody's day ended up being very satisfying.

hijo - son
perezoso - lazy
Papá - dad
