"How long have you been here Debbie" Eliza inquired of her twenty year old sister.
"I have actually been attending College here in Danville" Debbie responded brushing her long blonde hair out of her face.
"Debbie" Shouted Donnie as he rushed forward to hug the blonde.
"Hey Jungle boy" Debbie said stooping down to hug her adopted brother.
"I missed you Debbie" Donnie stated.
"And I have missed all of you" Debbie replied, standing back up.
"Eliza, you have a surprise waiting for you in your room" Marianne called from the kitchen.
"Okay Mom" Eliza called over her shoulder and she turned back to her sister, "You want to see my room"
"Yeah, I am betting you still have your photos from when you were twelve" Debbie responded.
Debbie and Eliza went upstairs to Eliza's room. Eliza slung her back pack on her desk. She stopped short when she saw a chimpanzee in a blue and white striped tank top and blue shorts.
"Darwin, you are out of quarentine" Eliza inquired of her best friend of so many years.
"Of course I am out of qauretine" Responded the Chimp with a slight Oxford accent.
"Good" Eliza commented with smile.
"What did the monkey say" Debbie inquired.
"He just said that of course he was out of qaurentine" Eliza replied
"Yeah I know that. Mom and Dad didn't know I was going to bring him over today" Debbie replied.
"You were able to put up with his chattering" Eliza inquired.
"Well after spending six years of you and Darwin chattering, yeah I was able to put up with it. You do know that age mellows all things" Debbie replied with a smile.
"Well that's true Donnie is a testament to that" Eliza commented.
"I have a question for Eliza" Debbie said sitting on the foot of Eliza's bed.
"What is it" Eliza inquired sitting next to Debbie, while Darwin sat on the floor.
"Will I still turn in to a purple butt baboon if I tell your secret" Debbie inquired
"Only if you tell anyone outside of me, you, Mom, Dad, and Donnie" Eliza replied, "Mom and Dad figured it out two months after you left for college"
"Wow, you know in hindsight it is very obvious" Debbie commented.
"Girls do you mind if we have dinner outside tonight" Marianne asked the two girls coming into Eliza's room.
"That's fine" Both Debbie and Eliza said.
The Thornberrys had finished their out door supper and had washed and put away the dishes.
They returned out side to enjoy the October evening.
"Geist Heel" Came a male voice.
"She is not going to listen to you" Came a younger female voice.
A large black and brown German Shepard came bounding across the street dragging a 22 year old man behind it. A younger woman about Debbies age quickly followed.
"Geist Heel" The young twenty year old said sharply, "Geist doesn't like you Glenn."
"Well Brainiac said Geist needed a walk" Glenn retorted.
"Gretchen asked me to do it Glenn not you" The young woman pointed out.
"I don't want to have this discussion right now Rachel" Glenn commented.
"We are so not done with this conversation dear brother" Rachel retorted the last part being sarcastic, and then Rachel noticed Debbie, "Oh hey Debbie"
"Hey Rachel" Debbie said walking up to the black haired young woman.
"Geist sit," Rachel instructed the dog, and then turning to Debbie, "So your family"
"Yeah, is that your dog" Debbie replied.
"No Geist belongs to my younger sister" Rachel commented.
"How many siblings do you have exactly" Debbie inquired.
"Let me see there is my older sister Sam, This here is my older brother Glenn, my twin brother Parker and my younger sister Gretchen, So two sisters and two brothers" Rachel replied.
"Wow, I have only a younger sister and brother" Debbie replied
Rachel chuckled slightly, and replied, "I thrive on chaos"
"No doubt" Debbie said glancing at the German Shepard that was staring down Glenn.
"What do you want meat breath" Glenn said looking at the dog, which had flattened its ears.
"Now you see why Geist hates you" Rachel commented to her brother as Debbie motioned to her family to come over.
"Rachel this is my mom and dad, my younger sister Eliza, and my younger brother Donnie" Debbie said introducing each member of her family.
"Nice to meet you, I am Rachel, and the person Geist is staring down is my older brother Glenn" Rachel said.
"Nice to meet you Rachel. How do you know Debbie" Marianne inquired.
"We have the same classes, and we were roommates over the second semester of last year" Rachel replied.
"I am calling Gretchen to come and get her dog" Glenn stated.
"You are not going to do that Glenn." Rachel commented glancing over at her brother.
"Why not" Glenn retorted smirking slightly.
"She is on a date with her boyfriend and mom made us promise not to interrupt" Rachel stated flatly, the tone of her voice made Glenn put his cell phone back in his pocket.
"Your last wouldn't happen to be Alder-Wareden, would it" Eliza inquired.
"Yes that is my surname why do you ask" Rachel replied
"Gretchen showed me around school today" Eliza stated.
"She or one of the other Fireside Girls get that duty" Rachel commented with a light chuckle.
"Someone said that earlier 'Fireside Girls' who are they" Donnie asked.
"The Fireside Girls are an organization that helps girls learn useful skills. When they are going for their patches they wear orange and brown uniforms. I am a former Fireside Girl myself, but I wasn't in the well-known Danville Troop." Rachel explianed.
"What troop is the most well-known" Debbie asked
"Danville Troop 46231, My older sister Sam was in it and my younger sister Gretchen was in it as well" Rachel replied, "How old are you Donnie"
"I am nine" Donnie responded
"Then you are elgiable to join the Frostside Boys" Rachel commented.
"The Frostside Boys?" Debbie inquired
"Yeah they rival the Fireside Girls" Rachel said with a nod at her brother, "Glenn and my twin brother Parker are both former Frostside Boys"
Suddenly a phone trilled, making everyone in the vincinty jump. Rachel sighed and muttered in German. She fished an old cell phone out her pocket. She flipped it open and read the text that came in. She then closed her phone and placed back in her pocket.
"See ya later Debbie" Rachel said.
"See you in class tomorrow if not earlier" Debbie replied with a slight grin.
"All right Geist come on" Rachel commented as she handed the end of the leash to the dog.
Rachel set of at a jogging pace. Geist was right on her heels. Glenn followed not getting anywhere near Geist. Debbie watched as they rounded the corner and disappeared from sight.
"They have been here in Danville for a long time, and the people here are friendly" Debbie said with a nod in the direction that Rachel and Glenn took off in.
The family of five enjoyed the night for two hours. Donnie had to be in bed by nine. Eliza was supposed to be in bed by ten. Donnie fell asleep the instant he laid on his bed. Eliza sat up talking with Darwin, until Darwin fell asleep in the hammock in the corner of the room. Eliza had swriling thoughts until she drifted off to sleep as well.
