As a car pulled up into the drive way Ashley ran up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"What is it?" Samantha said a little irritated. Then she heard a car door. "Shit! Zack get your clothes on" Samantha then jumped out of the bed in her underwear and bra.
"Why baby what's wrong?" Zack said as he got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"Uncle is back hurry please if he sees us like this he will kill you" Samantha said as she raced to get her clothes on.
As they ran down the stairs they jumped on the couch and looked like they had been watching TV.
"Samantha I'm back." John said as he came in the door. He had been out there for 3 minutes before he came in the house.
"Hey Uncle John, I hope you don't mind me having a couple people over? Its just Ash, Sam and Zack, I hope you don't mind." Samantha said as she got off the couch and hugged him. "How was work?" Samantha asked as she let go of her uncle.
"Good, sweetie how was your day? Hi Zack, Ashley, and Sami… how was school?" John asked hanging up his coat in the coat closet.
"My day was ok I was watching the news today and I saw my house and my mom and dad coming out of the house." Samantha said as tears streamed her eyes again. Feeling someone's arms around her she started to sob on there shoulder.
"Oh sweetie I didn't mean to make you cry, I was just wondering how your day was." John said as he hugged her to.
"It will be ok baby." Zack said as he was the one she was crying on.
"I know I will just miss them so much." Samantha said.
Samantha cried for another 20 min before she got a hold of herself and could finally face her fears.
"I know there never coming back but…" Samantha said but she didn't cry this time, but the tears threatened to come out again.
"Well uncle john my day was ok… but I wish that I could say hi to my mom and dad." Samantha said as she felt the tears coming again.
"I know sweetie… tomorrow is the funeral. I'm taking a day off tomorrow to pay respect to my sister and brother in-law" John said as he went into the kitchen to start making dinner.
"Yea I would like to go uncle John." Samantha said as she kissed Zack…
"Samantha I have to get going…" Zack said as he got up and kissed Samantha back.
"Yea same with me bye Samantha" Ashley said as she got her coat back on.
"I have to go to I have home work to do" Sami said as she to got her coat on. "are you going to school tomorrow… oh wait no your not your going to your mom and dad's funeral… well I will be over tomorrow to bring you your home work." Sami said as she walked out the door.
"I will be back tomorrow to Samantha… I will have practice but I will be back." Zack said as he got his jacket on and walked out the door with a wave and a smile.
"Uncle John what are you making for dinner?" Samantha asked john as she walked into the kitchen.
"It's a surprise sweetie. You will have to wait. Its one of your favorites" John said as he cut up mushrooms and made hamburger patties. There was a knock at the door and john went to answer it.
"Hello, Oh Maria come on in… yes Samantha is in the kitchen, why don't you come on in" John said as he walked back into the kitchen.
"Samantha comes here" Maria said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Maria what you doing?" Samantha asked her best friend.
"I'\/ #323 t0 9i\/3 j0 jo2 #0\/3 \/\/02 " Maria said in L33t.
"T#4\ j0 \/42i4" Samantha said back in L33t.
"Would you to quit that I don't know what you're saying" john said with a laugh.
"Sorry Uncle John I promise to only do that when I teach you" Samantha said ")0#\ )0\t \0\/\/ L33t" Samantha whispered to Maria who laughed.
"Samantha… I asked you not to." John said with a smile.
"Its ok uncle john I only said you don't know elite" Samantha said.
"Well I have to get going my mom is waiting out side here is your home work Samantha and I'm sorry to hear about your parents. PH342 \/J L33t" Maria said as she left the house.
"Why don't you get don't you get your home work done?" john said as he continued cooking.
Sitting down she took out a pencil and got the L33t homework down. She had taken 3 years of it so far.
As john called her for dinner Samantha never heard him she was so caught up in her home work that she couldn't hear anything. There was a tap on her shoulder and it made her jump
"Sorry dinners done.. Come eat I called you twenty minutes ago sweetie" John said. Samantha heard voices in the kitchen and guessed it was auntie Sophia.
"Ok I'm coming" Samantha said as she got up and left her homework where it was. She had done almost the whole packet. She had done almost 10 pages in about a half an hour. As she walked in to the kitchen her guess was right. Auntie Sophia was Uncle John's wife.
"Hey auntie how was work?" Samantha asked as she sat down in the middle.
"It was hell… I can't understand your homework Samantha what is L33t anyway?" Sophia asked Samantha
"It means elite and I'm learning to be a programmer… l33t is programmers talk." Samantha said as she sat down and started to eat.
"Its good uncle john you don't know how long I have wanted a mushroom burger." Samantha said as she continued to eat.
"Glad you liked it sweetie I have another for you if you want it" john said as he got up and gave her the second one.
"Thank you but I'm good I will probably eat it later after I get down with my home work I have 10 more pages to go." Samantha said as she finished her burger.
"Ok I will save it for you. So how do you speak elite?" John asked Samantha as he put the burger on her plate and put it in the microwave oven.
"Well when you speak L33t you have to use symbols, letter and numbers like the #0\/\/2 means Hows and j0 means you so If you put that together you have #0\/\/2 j0 which is Hows you" Samantha said as she took out a piece as paper and wrote the symbols, letters and numbers on there that spelled Hows you in l33t.
"I still don't get it. Why do they make you take that kind of stuff at a young age?" asked Auntie Sophia
"It's quite simple really" Samantha said as she looked at uncle john. "What's on your mind uncle john" she asked as she looked at him
"I kind of get it… but you will have to give me the code for the L33t" john said as he looked at the piece of paper.
"I will when I'm down with my homework" Samantha said as she walked out of the kitchen and back to her home work.
"Ok it's easy." Samantha said as she walked into the living room again.
