Chapter 1 – The New Transmission

Take, take, take all my time, all my company
Take everything from me
Fake, fake, fake all these things that you say to me
Nothing that I want to believe
I think the time has come to set it straight
I need to change this frequency
Cause everyone just says the same old things to me

Kimber and Scott finally finished the chore of just moving boxes from the living room to the kitchen. They reluctantly placed the last box down, they weren't afraid of their daughter; however they didn't know what they were going to say or what they were going to do to make her see the plus side in being in Seattle. They weren't even sure if they could explain the good sides to moving across the country to a city they had never been before.

"Are you ready?" Scott asked. He moved over to Kimber, and placed his hand on the small of her back, smiling assuring.

"Not really, but I don't really have a choice do I?" Kimber slightly laughed.

"Nope. Not really." Scott smirked at her, as they walked out of their new kitchen. They walked up the stairs, side by side holding hands. They reached Meredith's new room. Kimber looked up at Scott for reassurance. He nodded, as they opened the door, to see Meredith's plain white room. Nothing of hers was put up yet. Kimber made a note to do that as soon as she could. Hopefully, help Meredith adjust more quickly to their new town. Kimber walked over to Meredith's small bed. Smiling at her daughter, she bent down to Meredith seeing her eyes closed.

"Meredith, sweetie?" Kimber said softly, placing her small shoulder. Meredith groaned slightly. "What?" She asked grouchily.

"Sweetie we need to talk." Kimber said with a more influencing tone, but still keeping it nice and sweet.

"I don't want to. I don't want to be here. I want to go back to Boston."

"We can't do that." Kimber said, sitting on the edge of Meredith's bed.

"Why not?" Meredith said, turning to look at her mom.

"Because, we have a new home and you dad has a new job. We can't go back to Boston." Kimber said, looking over to Scott for some help. Scott walked over and knelt down to Meredith. "Hey pooh bear."

"Hi dad." Scott cringed slightly. Meredith only used dad when she was upset at him, or her mom.

"I really am sorry, sweetie. I bet you will like it soon."

"I doubt I will." Meredith said, sitting up and crossing her arms over her chest.

"Will you give it a try?" Scott said, smiling at her. She looked more and more like her mother everyday.

"No." Meredith said still frustrated with Seattle and her parents.

"Please. I promise if you give it a try, you will love it." Scott laughed, softly.

"No I won't." Meredith said, showing a small glimpse of a smile at her dad's laughter, before she went back to her simple frown.

"Yes you will. Just give it a try and if you don't like it, I won't make you eat veggies for a month." With that statement, Kimber glared at him. He knew he would have to have a discussion with her later about it. "Deal?"

Meredith seemed to contemplate the statement for a few minutes. "Deal." She said, uncrossing her arms, and smiling. "I'm going to win." She smirked at her dad.

"I don't know I guess we will have to give it a try first, huh?" He smirked back at her.

"Yeah. I'll try, but I won't like it."

"That's all I can ask for." He gave Meredith a hug, before he watched his wife and his daughter give each other a hug.

"Thanks sweetie." Kimber said, softly.

"You're welcome, mommy."

Meredith watched as her parents, walked out her door. She smiled, knowing she was going to win the bet. Meredith smirked as she found herself not worrying about having to eat vegetables for a month.
