Oliver looked up from his conversation with Clark and Jonathan. "Don't you think you overdid it on the makeup, Lana?" Oliver asked, gripping Ashley's chin in his hand and looking at her closely.

"Live a little, Oliver. She appears to like it," Lana retorted goodnaturedly as she went to her husband, Pete Ross.

"I guess it's up to you, Ash. Do you really like it?" Oliver asked his daughter.

"Yeah. Rick didn't like it when I wore makeup. Of course he also didn't like it when I tried out for the girl's archery team and got on it," Ashley said.

"I think she looks good, Uncle Ollie. You're worse than my dad when it comes to fashion," Linda said, taking a hamburger from her grandfather.

"Very funny," Clark said, dryly.

"Daddy, it's true. You, Uncle Ollie, Grandpa, Uncle John, and Uncle Carter have no fashion sense whatsoever," Linda said, rolling her eyes.

Ashley giggled causing all the men to look at her as Jonathan got her a hot dog and Dr. Pepper. "I wouldn't laugh if I was you, Ashley," Oliver warned.

"Sorry. Actually I'm not used to having so many clothes. I mostly shop at Wal-mart or the nearest thrift store. It's amazing what other people give away," Ashley said to the shock of everyone else.

Oliver stooped in front of his daughter. "Thrift store clothes?" Oliver asked, cupping her face gently with his hands.

"Yeah. Don't knock it until you try it. Thrift store clothes aren't that bad. Where did you think I got that outfit I wore yesterday and today?" Ashley asked.

Oliver pulled her tightly into his arms and looked at Chloe and everyone else over her shoulder before looking into her eyes again.

"You are not going to wear those again. Chloe, when we get home could you please throw those clothes out. Now eat your hot dog and then you can go out with your brother and cousins," Oliver said as she and Linda went into the kitchen where Jon and Dylan were.

"Oliver, don't you think you're pushing her too hard?" Clark asked after a few minutes of silence.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked, eating a hamburger. In Oliver's opinion hamburgers were better than hot dogs and also hamburgers weren't as fattening either when it came to his job as Green Arrow.

"Oliver, she's only been here one day. You can't expect her to morph into the daughter of a billionaire overnight. She needs time. She's not used to having lots of clothes and a private-school education like Dylan has," Martha pointed out.

"Who says we're going to send her to private school? I was thinking of homeschooling and a private tutor since school is going to be out in a month," Oliver said.

"Oliver, she needs to be with kids her own age. She had fun with Linda today. Besides being her cousin Linda's also the same age. When I was eleven I never thought my stepfather was cool. My stepfather was an old man. She needs to go to slumber parties and school dances and talk about boys with girls her own age," Courtney said, taking a drink of her Sprite.

"I don't know. What if we lose her again? She's terrified that Forbes might come here and take her again," Oliver voiced his main concern.

"Queen, you can't let fear cloud your sense. She'll have a bunch of people watching out for her," Carter said.

"I know. I'm just so afraid for her. Last night after I got in I just sat watching her sleep. I can't lose her again," Oliver said, sitting down.

"I know how you feel, Oliver, but Carter is right. We nearly lost Clark because we tried to be overprotective. I think your school idea is a good one, but let her go to school in August with Linda and Jon," Jonathan said. Jonathan was like Carter and John and gave plenty of wisdom to all the dads in the Justice League.

'So have you told her about your job at night?" Pete asked, a barbecue chip in his hand and changing the subject to Oliver's relief.

"Not yet. I don't know how to tell her," Oliver said, hearing laughter come from the kitchen. Ashley was having a good time. He didn't want to ruin that good time on the news that Rick Forbes may have kidnapped her because of him.

Ashley was in the Kitchen talking and laughing as she ate with her cousins Jon and Linda and brother was telling the funniest jokes ever, all the while making facial expressions with it. Hilarious. Ashley couldn't remember the last time when she had laughed. Ashley liked her parents so far. The only thing was, it hurt her a bit okay a lot that Oliver didn't like her makeup. Ashley was already lacking confidence enough, She still was trying to figure out who Ashley Queen was. What she didn't need right now was a strict and overprotective Dad. She was glad she found her real Dad don't get her wrong; she just didn't want him to push her away by being too strict on her or too overprotective. She needed him to just be there for her and to protect her from bad people like Forbes. Forbe's temper really scared her. Once, he made her so upset; she took off for several days and didn't come home until he begged her to.

Overall, Oliver was a great Dad. He seemed to care about her and love her a lot. He gave her a lot of hugs. And her Mom was cool and seemed to have a great sense of Fashion. Ashley really liked The Kents. They seemed to be nice people. Linda and Jonathan seemed to like her and so did Clark's Mom and Dad.

"I hope you get to go to our School. It's a Public School and it's really cool". said Linda.

"I wish I could, but at the rate I'm going, I'm probably going to be Homeschooled since I'm now a rich girl". Ashley said sighing. She didn't really want to be HomeSchooled.

"Your Dad will be so unfair if he doesn't let you come. You should be able to make your own choices!" declared Linda.

"Don't I know it already", Ashley grumbled. Already, her Dad wanted to morph her into a billionaire's princess overnight. He expected so much of her already, she was becoming uncomfortable and she could tell right away she disappointed him by saying she liked wearing Thrift Store clothes and Wal-Mart clothes. She saw everyone else's expression to. It had made her uncomfortable like she didn't fit in with these people. Even though all of them were family.

Linda saw Ashley go from being happy to an upset look in an instant. "Ashley, what's wrong?" she motioned for the boys to leave. The two girls went to the Barn to talk for some privacy. "Okay Spill it, what's wrong Ashley?" asked Linda.
