AN/ Hey, thank you much for reading this far! Please enjoy! P.S I hope you like the little twist at the end.

It had been a week since they had moved to Sherwood, and everything had been so crazy Veronica hadn't had the chance to give the teens the guidelines of their new town. She walked down the hall, paper in hand, ready to give them the speech. When she reached the partly open door all she saw was Hugo reading a book. Baudelaire of course. She started to walk away when she heard.

"Oh hey Mom" he said as he quickly hid the cover of his book. Whenever his mother would see him reading Baudelaire, she huffed and asked why he read that trash. She would always say "I never saw she appeal in his work."

"Ya know, I will never understand why you like that book. I have never.."

"Seen the appeal in it. I know. By the way if you are looking for Charlie, she went over to Aunt Martha's house."

"Oh okay. I just came in here to give you two some guidelines for living here."

"Mom you know we lived here for six years before you came back right?"

"Yes of course, but you two are seventeen now. So, I have some new rules"

"Well, I don't know if Charlie will be back before you have to take grampa over to the hospital, for his sleep study. So, you just tell me, and I can tell her when she gets back."

"I guess that will work. Okay, So number one. No going out after 10 pm without permission. Two, no loud music when your grandfather is home. Three, no swearing around your grandfather, or people who are easily offended. Four, you are not allowed to go any where near 4th St, not even for school"

"But, Mom. It takes twice as long to get to school if we go have to around 4th. Why?" Hugo interrupted

"Because, I do not want you to go near there. Do you understand me Hugo?"

"Yes ma'am" his said disgruntled

"Good, now where are we. Ah yes, Lastly, and one of the most important. Five, You are not allowed to have anyone of the opposite sex that are not family in your room. So, you are not allowed to have girls in your room, and your sister isn't allowed to have boys in your room."

Hugo let out a small snort when he heard that last sentence. "Really Mom? You're telling Charlie that she can't have boys in her…."

Veronica stared at her son with great confusion.

"Oh god, I thought she told you. I mean, of course she shouldn't have boys in her room. You are so right Mom. I will let her know the minute she gets home. You can go now."

"What do you mean? What did you think your sister told me?"

"Oh nothing. I mean really it was nothing."

"It was not nothing. Hugo Alexander you better tell me what you thought I knew, right this minute."

"Well, I thought you knew, because she said she was going to tell you the day you told us about the move. Of course she didn't tell you."

"Tell me what, goddammit"

"Mom, Charlie is gay"
