Martha Longacre was waiting patiently for the "English" kids to arrive. She had cleaned the house five times; everyone had bathed last night so that they will be presentable for their new guests. She was a bit nervous about these "English" coming to stay at her house, but also excited.

"Mama, when are they coming?" asked her 16 year old daughter, Sarah.

"Patience, child, replied Martha, they will come, when they come. Meanwhile, I think the kitchen could use an extra cleaning." said Martha.

"Aright mother," replied Sarah as she went back inside. She also had gone in and read the bible, while waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Soon, a little past noon, she got up and with her daughters, she started making supper.

MEANWHILE:

"Ugh! Are we there yet?" Asked Christie. "Why do we have to the last ones to get dropped off? Ugh, my shoes are killing me, I swear, if we have to walk another mile, I'm going to die!" Christie said, dramatically.

"We are almost here, said a deep voice." The Amish man who was guiding all the students looked at Christie and frowned.

"A lady should not say such vulgar words. You should pray to God for forgiveness later."

Christie rolled her eyes when he wasn't looking. "A lady should not say such vulgar words" she mimicked mockingly. Isabella and Becky giggled.

The sun was going down when they finally, FINALLY arrived at the Longacre's house. (I know that it shouldn't really be this far, but it had to be for my story)

The Amish man knocked on the door, and a small woman opened the door.

"Oh, Ezikeil! How nice of you to come by, please, come on in. she invited."

"No, I cannot, at least, not now, but thank you for the invitation Martha. I am here to tell you that these girls" pointing to Becky, Bella, and Christie "are the "Enlgish" you will take care of during their stay." Martha looked at the girls warmly,

"Welcome," she said. The Amish man (Ezikeil) said his good byes and Martha invited the trio in.

"Come on in, you are welcome here." She said. We were about to say grace. As they entered, they noted that the house was cozy and there was a delicious scent in the household. They entered the small, but comfortable room with a dinner table on it. It was plain, no decorations of any sort, just a plain, brown piece of wood with plain wooden chairs to match it. There were about five people sitting at the table and Martha sat down next to, what it looked like, her husband.

"Let us say grace," came a deep, musical voice.

As they were eating, Martha introduced everyone.

"These are my children, said Martha. Rachael, my youngest, is 10 years old. Samuel is 13, Sarah is 15, she is around your age, it think, and Edward is 17. My eldest child, Jasper, is married and lives a couple blocks away." She explained.

"Well, my name is Isabella Laurelle, just call me Bella. I'm 16."

"Why would you want to shorten the name your parents have given you?" Questioned Martha.

"Isabella is a very beautiful name, your mother will be saddened by your action." There was silence for a moment, but Christie interrupted.

"Uh…anyways, I'm Christie, Christie Lavonne. I'm also 16."

"I'm Becky Lewis-Hall." Becky said, smiling. Mr. Longacre looked surprised when she said her name. It quickly went away but she couldn't ignore that look of surprise she saw. Thankfully, she was interrupted by food, and she quickly forgot about it, for now.

Food was being passed around, and apparently, the men were getting their food first, as she waited, she thought amusingly, 'so the ladies first rule, doesn't apply around here.' The food had made her hungry and after supper, Martha showed them their room, and wished them a good night's sleep. She also added that tomorrow, they'll need to get up bright and early.

The three talked about what was going to happen tomorrow and were glad that they didn't have school, so they can sleep in. Then they went to sleep at around 12:30 A.M.

The next morning, Becky felt someone nudging her awake.

"Becky, Becky!" Said a girl.

"Mmmm?" Replied Becky, not even opening her eyes yet.

"You need to wake up, Becky." Said the girl.

"Mmmm…five more minutes…"then, she turned around. The girl sighed, finally giving up and turned to the other girls. Luckily, they woke up and got dressed. The girl, who happened to be Sarah, asked Bella,

"Is it ok to leave her like this? Mama said to wake everyone up."

"Just leave her be, said Christie, unless you want to face her wrath." Bella giggled, yep, that's right, I got kicked on the face because of her.

Around 12:00 P.M ish:

Becky's eyes opened and they tried to adjust to the unfamiliar surroundings. Then everything came back to her. But wait, where were Christie, and Bella? She got up, in her pajamas, not bothering to change out of it, and went out into the living room. She saw people eating food, and her stomach suddenly growled.

"Ahem." She said to get their attention.

"Morning, sleepyhead!" Said Bella. Morning, Becky mumbled as she lazily walked to her seat. Then she saw that the men were blushing. She looked at herself, did she look that horrible?

"Becky, dear," said Martha, "you're still in your pajamas." Becky looked down at her pajamas. Then she looked back at Martha questioningly.

"What's so wrong about that?" She asked. "It's not like it's really revealing or anything." "However, you should get changed before you come out, dear, because it is improper for a young lady to show her nightgowns to men."

"Alright, alright, jeez." Becky said crankily. "I still don't see anything wrong with it," she mumbled. When she went up to her room, her cell phone rang and she answered.

"Hello?"

"Becky?" Said a familiar voice.

"Mom? OMG, mom, is that you?!" She asked.

"Yes, honey, it's me. Are you okay? Do you feel tired? Are they treating you right?"

"Mom…"she said. "You're being overprotective again. I'm fine, and I like the family I'm staying with. They're really nice. Really, who are they? Do you know they're names?"

"It's Martha and uhh…Ethan, Ethan Longacre." Leah froze. 'No, it couldn't be, not him, anyone but him,' she thought. 'Why of all people him? Fate was cruel.'

"Mom? Are you there?" Asked Becky. Leah was brought back into the world, then she said,

"Becky, did he say or do anything strange after he saw you?" She asked. Becky thought about it and said

"Not really, he just looked a little surprised after hearing my name. But that's about it.

"Let me talk to him, Becky." Said Leah in a barely audible voice.
