Chapter 2!

*victory dance*

It would seem I forgot something important... THE DISCLAIMER!

*gasp*

Well, I don't own a D*MN THING!

It was back to the same old, same old. Sofia would wake up and eat, and then she would get dressed and Tancered would take her to school while Daniel cleaned up. After the mishap last time nothing was cleaned, they always made sure the kitchen was clean. Daniel whistled as he cleaned. He was putting the paper towels away when the doorbell rang. Daniel opened the door cautiously, coming face to face with three people: a man, a baby, and woman Daniel looked over them, "Come on in, hurry!" He said softly. The two teens ran inside, where the oldest turned around, "Can we stay for awhile?"

Daniel nodded, "Of course."

Aidan sighed in relief, "Thank god."

Daniel smiled at the three people before him, "So. My name is Daniel. Daniel Ortiz. What's your's?"

"Aidan. The tall one is Shayla, and the baby is Simple. Thank you for letting us stay. Seriously."

"Don't worry about it. It really is no problem." Daniel said, smiling. He took a moment to look at the people before him, "Showers are down the hall, second door on the left. Shayla-"

"It's Shay, please." Shay interrupted.

"-Shay, you take the first one. Aidan, you rest while she does so, and if you don't mind I'll give Simple here a bath." Daniel said.

Shay looked at him warily before nodding, "Okay. I trust you. Don't make me regret it." She walked to the bathroom.

Daniel gave Simple her bath, and it lasted for about 20 minutes. 10 minutes later Shay walked down the hall, "How did these girl clothes get in the bathroom, waiting for me?"

Daniel grinned, "Well, there happens to be a little girl who lives here, and she is prone to sudden growth spurts. We, Tancered and myself, by clothes of varying sizes just in case."

Shay nodded, and stared at Daniel with a look of amusement, relief, worry, and very slight jealousy. Why? Simple was curled on his lap, dozing. Her little hand was gripping his index finger so hard it had turned purple; not that he minded, "Looks like someone likes you. And who's the girl and who's Tancered?"

"Tancered is my oldest and only friend. He and I escaped the School together when we were 6. We met a little girl named Sofia, who took an instant liking to me; in a big brother/ little sister/ harmless hero worship way."

Shay nodded, "Oh. Sounds nice."

Aidan went and took a shower, coming back after a half-hour. Everything was silent and Shay and Aidan fell asleep after a while.

That was when the door opened to reveal three silhouettes, "Hello, Daniel," Tancered said.

Thank you to all who reviewed!

And to you, Mr. Guest, why don't you log on to a real account and say it again, so I can know who you are and report you to FanFiction? And if you are one of the Critics United Members that I made throw a little fit, would you kindly screw off? Thanks hon.
