Maya woke up to someone shaking her shoulder. Yawning, she looked up at Jon and asked, "Where are we?"

He took his earbuds out and wrapped them around his shoulders. "Philadelphia, we'll be there soon"

Maya nodded just as he handed her a granola bar from the snack bag. She took a bite of the bar, stretched, then looked over at her mom.

"Doing okay?"

Jocelyn nodded. "I'm working on three redbulls and a coffee. There's no stopping now—unless I pass out." Maya chuckled and shook her head. Jocelyn was crazy, but she loved her. Jocelyn always said that Maya was the kind of daughter that she always wanted.

Jon chuckled. "Mom shouldn't you...take it easy?"

Jocelyn just gave him the finger Maya snorted and watched Jon frown as she took another bite of her bar, sitting back in the process. They had about an hour to kill. It was Saturday morning so they had the weekend to sleep and school on Monday.

Ugh, school.

Jon would fit in of course, probably instantly become popular. Maya assumed that she would just be seen as his adopted little sister, but she didn't mind. As long as they didn't bother her.

She heard that was how most New Yorkers were anyway. After finishing her bar, she closed her eyes again. Her and New York would get along just fine.

.o.O.o.

"Tenshi, wake up. We're here." Maya woke up to Jon's voice and opened her eyes, squinting at the sun, which was way too bright for her liking. She moved a couple clouds in front of it and knew Jon noticed what she did. Every time she used her powers, her eyes got a lot brighter, practically silver.

He rolled his eyes. "Come on, Tenshi. Accept the sun." he smiled.

"The sun and I aren't on good terms right now." She mumbled. He chuckled and opened the door.

Maya followed him and looked up at their new house. It was amazing. The house looked to have three stories or more, enough room to fit at family of five. There was a place on the front yard for a little garden and a very tall tree stood between the their house and the neighbors. She was definitely designing that garden, whenever she got the chance. Maya smiled and looked up at Jon, trying to gauge his reaction. He seemed to just be taking everything in.

Their mom practically fell out of the car and went to her knees. "Land! Finally!"

"Jesus Christ, Mom! Please get up." Maya and Jon looked around for people watching, but no one seemed to be outside. She was being so loud and dramatic. That was Jocelyn for you, a child trapped in a woman's body.

She hopped off of the ground and turned to her and Jon, fumbling for her keys. "Ready for your surprises?" Maya bit back her smile and nodded, Jocelyn's gifts were always beyond amazing. The most recent gift she received was a grand piano. She had no idea how Jocelyn could top that, but she was curious to see her try. A moment later, Jocelyn pressed a button on her keys and the garage door slowly opened.

Maya looked at Jon and he shrugged, neither of them knowing what to expect. The door finally opened and she practically screamed. In front of them was . . .

"Mom, you got me a Bentley!" Jon picked his mother up and spun her in a circle. "Jon put me down dammit!" she screamed, but she was laughing.

Maya gaped at what her present was as she walked over and felt the seat and throttle. "Is . . . Is this a Ducati 1199 Panigale?" She asked in disbelief. Her mom laughed and nodded. It was a beautiful purple, not her favorite color, but it made the motorcycle look stunning. She had to sell her old bike a while ago, but for Jocelyn to buy her dream bike was beyond amazing.

Maya ran over to her and jumped on her. Jocelyn held her tight. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Maya jumped off of her and kissed her cheek.

She walked over to Jon in the front seat of his Bentley. "Dude, mom is the best."

He chuckled and started the car, it purred beautifully. He cut the engine and sat back.

Maya ran over to her purple motorcycle, grabbed her black helmet and examined it. This was so cool. She found a leather jacket draped across the seat. God she loved mom. She grabbed her jacket and went into the house with Jon.

They started upstairs and Jon picked his room at the end of the hall, hers across from his. They both went inside of their rooms. Most of their stuff had already been sent there. Their mom drove up last week with a friend to help her with the big items. Maya's walls were painted plain white , she had a white desk and chair, and her sheets were white. There was no mystery as to what her favorite color was.

Maya walked over to her window and looked out. It was parallel to someone else's, one of their neighbors she assumed. She saw a flash of blonde hair and backed away from the window quickly, swearing that her heart jumped a little. She shook her head and went back downstairs to unpack the rest of the stuff. They only had to unpack their clothes and decorations. Everything else was already there. So with that, she walked outside and grabbed a box. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a girl. She had long brown hair, a darker shade than hers, that reached halfway down her back. The closer she got Maya could see how pretty she was. Her eyes were a dark brown, almost black. She was wearing a pink skater skirt, a white shirt, and white shoes. The girl smiled enthusiastically at her. Maya set the box down and walked over to her.

"Hey! I'm Alexandria, but you can call me Alex. You must be our new neighbor!" the girl noted, "It's so nice to meet you. We are going to be great friends, I can just feel it." The girl, Alex, squealed and clapped her hands.

Maya just stared at her. She had never met someone so. . . enthusiastic, and to a stranger? She shook herself out of her daze and spoke. "Um Hi, I'm Maya. I just moved here with my mother and brother. And by the way love the outfit." Maya smiled at her, hoping that what she said sounded girly enough. She was just trying to be friendly and act more like a normal girl would.

"Oh My God! We have to go shopping sometime!" Maya opened her mouth to politely decline, but Alex beat her to it. "And I'm not taking no for an answer."

Maya laughed. "Okay."

Alex squealed. "Okay, how about tomorrow?" Maya nodded reluctantly. Alex looked at her and smiled. "You should totally stay the night and we can go tomorrow. Get to know each other a little, being neighbors and all."

"I'll have to ask my mom first." Alex nodded and Maya turned towards her house. "Come on." Alex followed her inside.

"Mom!" Maya called from the front door. Jocelyn came running to the door. "What. What." She looked worried.

"Mom I'm fine. This is Alex, our neighbor. She was wondering if I could stay the night at her house tonight and go shopping tomorrow." Maya gave her puppy dog eyes, which she knew wasn't necessary.

Jocelyn smiled at Alex then looked back to Maya. "Of course you can sweetie. Just pack a bag. Nice to meet you Alex." With that she walked back into the kitchen. The truck was still not unloaded, but Jon could finish that. He was the so called "man" of the house.

Maya told Alex to wait downstairs while she quickly packed an overnight bag, grabbing clothes that were still in boxes. She got back downstairs in no time. They were just about to leave . . .

Jon walked downstairs just in time. Great. Maya sighed. "Alex, this is my idiot older brother Jon. Jon, this is our wonderful new neighbor Alex." Alex smiled at him and waved.

Jon waved back and scoffed at Maya. "Now Tenshi, is that any way to address your amazing brother?" She rolled her eyes and pulled Alex out of the house. "We're leaving!" Maya called over her shoulder.

"Have a nice time!" Jocelyn said. Maya smiled as Alex pulled her over to her house giggling.
