"Jessica!!" Emma exclaimed. It was the first time she had seen her step daughter in two years. "Your father's in our room. Feel free to go say hi." After saying that Emma went to tend to Kylie, the worlds grumpiest two year old.

Jessica walked over to Jonesy. "Hey.. Will you go with me? I'm kinda nervous about all this." As soon as Jonesy saw the fear in her eyes he agreed and went back to Mr. Garcia's room with her.

"Ready?" He asked.

"I think so." Jess said, and then nodded for him to open the door.

As soon as Jonesy's hand hit the door knob the door flew open. "Whoa!" They all three screamed and jumped back.

"Jonesy! Don't scare me like that!!"

"Sorry, dad. I have someone here that would like to... See you."

Jess blushed and scooted closer to Jonesy. She meekly waved at her dad and smiled faintly.

"Oh, your latest girlfriend. Hello, there. What's your name?" Mr. Garcia smiled kindly.

A long silence was followed. She couldn't believe he didn't remember her. She took a minute to look herself over. She had changed. Changed into a bigger rebel than Nikki, if possible. Her brown hair was now streaked with more than one line of purple. In fact, it was a bit like the rainbow. In addition to the numerous streaks of purple, there was now blue, red, orange, green, and even a pink streak of her head. She looked at her clothes. Very Avril Lavigne, she thought. No wonder he didn't recognize her. She didn't look like daddy's little girl anymore. She looked like her own person. Avril would be jealous.

"Don't be shy. Go ahead and share your name with me." He urged her on.

Jess looked at Jonesy, who in turn looked at his father, who looked extremely confused about all this. "Um.. My name's Jessica."

Mr. Garcia's blood ran cold. It was now his turn to look her over. He carefully studied her face, and soon realized who she was, but could not speak. He just stood there, mouth gaping open in amazement. Jonesy sensed this and decided to speak for him.

"Dad, this is Jessica... Your daughter. My twin. Emma's stepdaugh-"

"Son! Enough! I realize who this is." Mr. Garcia stepped forward to embrace his daughter.

"Hi, dad.." Jess said as he held her close.

"Jessica... Where have you been?"

She struggled to find the right words. How do you tell your dad that you're a rock star? "Dad... Have you ever heard of a band called.. Purple November?"

"You mean that crap Jen and Jonesy are always playing? Yeah, I'm not a fan, but that lead singer sure does have pipes."

Jess blushed, then laughed. "Daddy.. That girl. That lead singer is me."

"Jess don't play games. It's not funny. Really, where were you?"

"Dad! I'm telling you the truth. Tell him, Jonesy."

"Yeah.. Uh, dad. I know it sounds crazy. I didn't believe it when she told me, either."

The twins watched their father's ears turn red. "Jonesy... How long have you known where she was?"

The eldest siblings' eyes widened, knowing he was on thin ice. "Uh.. Well.. I.. I knew for.. About.. Two years?"

The two watched as anger rose in their parent. "Dad. Calm down." Jessica coaxed him. "I'm the one who told him not to tell anyone but Nikki. Don't be mad at him. He was only trying to-..."

"Nikki? I thought you dumped her! I thought you were enemies! What else have you kept from me, son?"

"Well.. Umm.... Me and Nikki.."

"Nikki and I." His father corrected.

"Uhh, right. Nikki and I.. Are.. Engaged."

By this point Jess was trembling against Jonesy, thinking about how this conversation had taken a turn for the worse. "Dad.." She whispered.

"Engaged? Where did you get the ring?"

Jonesy looked at Jessica, who gave her a short nod. She knew this would make her father even angrier, but it was better that he knew the truth.

"Jess sent it to me."

Mr. Garcia's expression softened. "Oh, well... Okay then. I hope everything works out for you two. And Jess, it's nice to have you back." And with that he turned around and went down to the living room to talk to Emma.

"Whoa.. That was intense, big brother."

"Yeah.. I agree. But I'm glad I told him all that stuff."

"Why did he think you ended things with Nikki?"

"I don't know.. He doesn't like her for some reason.. He finds her rather.. Abrasive.."

"Oh.. Hey.. It's still morning. Wanna go to the mall? We can take the limo.. I wanna go to the Albatross and Finch and see if it's how I left it."

"Sure, okay. I need to head there anyway. I promised Jude I'd meet him there to talk about something."

"Talk about what?"

Jonesy smiled slyly. "It's a surprise."

A/N- OMG! I'm sooo sorry. I kinda forgot about 6teen, because they hardly show it on CN anymore. :( But today was a snow day, so I was looking through my email account.. And behold! A review for this story on FanFiction! It inspired me. So.. Sorry for the wait. And I'll try to make updating a regular thing. :D
