A/N 1: Hello everyone, this is my first fanfic that I am publishing. I thank you for taking the time to read it and reviews are both welcome and appreciated. All I ask is that you be kind as I have said before this is my first fanfiction. But, enough about that lets get to the story.

General POV

Seventeen year old Arizona looked out the window of her father's aging SUV. She was mad. Mad at the world. Mad at her brother for being a damn hero. She knew that if he hadn't joined the military, he might still be here today. He had passed away four months ago but the wounds were still fresh. She was also mad at her father. "How could he?" she thought to herself. She had just gotten to make good friends in her old high school and now here she was, in a car filled with suit cases and moving to a new place yet again.

She knew this feeling all too well. Her father promising her that they wouldn't move again. No this time it was different. She was going to make friends and live in the new house till at least college came rolling around. No more was she going to feel like the new girl because she was going to call that house her home. But the call she always dreaded came once again. Her father apologizing and saying that he had been reassigned to a different location. That they would have to move again. Yep that's what came with being an army brat.

But at least they weren't moving too far. She was only moving from California to Seattle. Still, she dreaded moving and especially since she actually felt at home for once. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard someone calling her name.

"Arizona, Arizona, were you paying attention at all?" Barbra Robbins asked her daughter. "Uhm… no sorry mom. What were you saying?"

"I said Seattle is going to be great. The house that you and your father picked out is lovely. And we have a little surprise for you when we get there."

"Oh, that's great mom I can't wait to see it but if you don't mind I would like to take a nap before we get there." Arizona said trying her best to muster up a smile. "All right then. I´ll wake you up when we get there." Barbra replied. She understood that Arizona wasn't head over heels with the idea of moving. She even tried to get Daniel to change his mind but he insisted that this was his job, his only way of providing for the family. Boy was that man stubborn.

At the house Arizona´s POV

The next thing I remember is my mother shaking my arm telling me to wake up. "Arizona we're here. Wake up."

I shook my head as I was still half asleep and got out of the car. I took a good look at the new house. It wasn't too bad. It was two stories and had a nice front yard with a lawn. It wasn't huge, it was just your average American family household. I took my suitcases full of my personal belongings out of the truck and headed inside.

Looking inside I saw exactly what I had expected. On the first floor there was a kitchen along with a dining room. I also saw the living room that was not fully furnished yet since the movers were coming tomorrow. That meant that the bedrooms were upstairs. I was just about to go up when I heard my fathers' voice.

"Arizona, remember when your mother told you that we had a surprise for you?" my father asked. "Oh yeah dad I remember. What is it?" Even though I was still a little mad at him I loved surprises. I was excited to see what it was.

"Well, let's go upstairs so that you can see", he says. He leads the way up the stairs to a long hallway with many doors. We stop at a particular door at the very end of the hallway. "Okay sweetheart, your surprise is behind this door so go ahead and open the door." I´m very eager about my surprise so I open the door. I cannot believe what I see.

This isn't any normal bedroom. No, this is a fully furnished room catered to my decorative tastes. The walls are purple and there are pink letters spelling out 'Arizona' over the bed. I see a desk with an office chair and a lamp for me to do my homework right next to my Cindy Crawford poster that used to hang in my old room. My old bedroom looked nothing like this. The walls were a fading white and had no TV in there. I always thought it was so boring.

"What do you think sweetie? Do you like it?" my father asked. "It has a bigger closet and I got you a TV. It even has locks on the door. Unlike, your old room." I didn't know how to react so I just ran up to him and hugged him. Tears starting to well up in my eyes.

"Daddy, do you promise that we get to stay here?" I asked him totally forgetting the grudge I had over him. "Yes sweetheart, this time I promise I will do all that I can so that we can stay here until you graduate, okay. Now do you forgive me?"

I thought it over in my head and released him from my hug. I looked at him and said "Yes daddy, I forgive you." After all, deep down I knew that he couldn't control all this moving around. He was trying to be a good man in a corners of his mouth twitched upwards in what looked like a smile and he said "Good. Your mother is downstairs and she ordered Chinese. It should be here any minute now so be downstairs in ten." "Yes sir." I replied

We ate downstairs together having conversations here and there about the new house, new school, how we have to sync to our normal routine once again. I was finished with my food and felt quite full so I asked to be excused. And so here I am now in the room. My room. I started unpacking some things. After all tomorrow I started school as a senior at Seattle Grace Mercy West High.

I picked out the clothes I was going to wear for tomorrow and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I changed into pajamas and slipped into bed making sure to set the alarm. I was exhausted after today. I went to sleep thinking about what this new school had in store for me. I will be new girl after all.
