3-The New Family Member

The blonde teenager twirled another strand of hair around her finger tips, the house phone pressed against her ear as she talked into it.

"And Crystal was all over him!" She spoke, rolling her eyes. "I KNOW! She's a total slut..."

"I don't see what the big deal is." Thomas complained, walking into the room, closely followed by Marni. "I-"

"QUIT YOUR WHINING!" Marni screamed, throwing herself down on the sofa.

"I AM ON THE PHONE!" Belle yelled at the two of them, quickly going back to her phone conversation.

"NO ONE CARES!" Thomas screamed back at his sister.

"I CARE!"

"SHUT UP!" Marni joined in.

"NO!" The other two shouted at her.

Before anyone else could yell or scream, Thomas was at Belle's side and taking the phone into his own hand. He pressed the red button and the phone was disconnected.

"All better now." Thomas smiled smugly.

"YOU DID SO NOT DO THAT!" Belle screamed. Her tanned skin was no longer tanned, it was now bright red. All over, her skin was glowing red.

Thomas let out a loud and shrill scream of fear. He started running as fast as he could out of the room, Belle chasing his so very close behind.

"MOOOOOOOOM!" Thomas kept screaming. That was until he ran straight into something. Or someone.

"Thomas, what's with all the screaming?" Courtney asked, pushing her son back a bit so she could see his face.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Belle yelled.

Courtney quickly pulled her youngest child behind her back. She knew how Belle could get when she was in a bad mood. It was the way Belle had always been. Ever since Marni had been born, Belle had, had a few anger issues around others. This usually resulted in her skin turning bright red as she was sunburnt all over.

"Belle, calm down, sweetie." Belle stopped, listening to her mother. She took in a few deep breathes.

"Okay." Belle's skin slowly started to fade back to its usual tanned color. "I'm fine...I'm calm..."

"Now." Courtney continued. "Can you two tidy yourselves up a bit before Jenifer arrives?"

Both of the kids started to moan and groan instantly. Neither wanted to 'tidy themselves up a bit' for Jenifer. To them, it just was not worth it.

"Mom, we've met Jen a GAZILLION times already!" Thomas complained. That was one thing he was actually good at, complaining.

Courtney wasn't looking too impressed with her children. She raised her hand and pointed her finger towards the living room. They both knew what that meant, even before she said anything.

"Get!" Courtney commanded, and they complied. "Where's Marni?"

"KITCHEN!" Thomas called back, jumping on the sofa again.

"You called?" Marni asked, walking into the hallway by the staircase. She had a half a square piece of chocolate in her hand, the other piece in her mouth.

"Good God!" Courtney almost yelled, holding her hand to her head. "Can you at least not look half-decent?"

"I am decent!"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Belle replied, smirking as she followed her younger brother into the living room and sitting down.

Marni pushed Belle as she entered the room, and Belle attempted to trip Marni up to get back at her.

"HEY!" Courtney yelled. "Stop that, you two!"

"We're home!" Came Duncan's loud voice from the front door.

"In here!" Courtney replied.

"Hi, daddy." Marni smiled as her father and a small child entered the room. "Hi, Jenifer."

"H-Hi, Marni." The small girl replied quietly.

She had bright blonde curls that reached right down her back. Her skirt was all different shades of blue, and her t-shirt was dark purple. And her eyes...Her eyes were neon green. They were so bright they could have lit up the entire room with the lights off.

"Do you want me to take your stuff up to your room, Jenifer?" Duncan asked, referring to the two small suitcases that were behind him.

"O-Okay..." She smiled slightly up at her new father.

Courtney moved past Jenifer in the hallways and started helping Duncan with the bags. They weren't that heavy, and he could have taken them up by himself, but Courtney wanted the kids to have some time to let them settle in.

"Hey, Jenny!" Thomas smiled, jumping up.

"Hi, Thomas." Jenifer smiled back.

"Welcome to your new home...Yada, yada, yada...See ya." Belle got up and raced out of the room, to go upstairs to her own bedroom.

"I'm with you on that one!" Marni agreed, getting up and legging it into the kitchen. The only reason she didn't go up to her bedroom is because she shared it with Belle, and Belle was currently up there.

"Ignore them, Jen." Thomas told his new sister. "Hey, do you wanna come outside and play with me and my friends?"

"Sure." Jenifer smiled happily.
