Okay this one is a shorty but I have things to do so you'll all have to deal, sorry. Enjoy though!

As Luna pushed the front door open, she was instantly aware that everyone was there, all staring at her.

"Hey." Luna said casually, after closing the door, and leaning against it with her hands behind her back. "Anything interesting go on while I was gone?"

"Where were you?" Mary-Lynnette asked seriously, crossing her arms over her chest in a very un-Mary-Lynnette like manor, at least not the manor that Luna knew.

"No where, really. Luna said, avoiding eye contact with everyone. "Went to the general store, walked around Main Street."

"Why do you smell like alcohol?" Ash asked, leaning against the edge of the couch.

Luna rolled her eyes and walked over to the group, sitting lazily on the ground by Jade. "I had a bit of meeting with some not so likeable characters."

"Vic and Todd." Mark mumbled, knowingly.

"So they're friends of yours then?" Luna said sarcastically. "Maybe that's why they gave me such a friendly welcome."

"Did they hurt you?" Rowan and Jade asked sympathetically.

Luna shook her head. "Nah, but I'm not sure that they'll be completely okay, getting kneed in the groin isn't very pleasant for guys."

"You did what?" Ash yelled, while Kestrel and Mark nodded, in appreciation.

"I kicked one of the drunken boys in the groin." Luna said clearly. "Because he grabbed me and was trying to get me to do, inappropriate things, got it?"

Ash glared at Luna with distaste. "I can already tell this is going to be a nightmare living with her."

"The feeling's mutual." Luna shot back, leaning against the end of the couch. "But so much fun."

. . .

"You all settled?" Rowan asked as Luna sat onto her bed, crossing her legs in her black sleep shorts and matching tee shirt.

"Yea, I'm fine." Luna replied, lying against her mound of blanket and pillows.

"Great." Rowan smiled and shut the door, leaving Luna alone for the first time since she had gotten into the house.

Bored, Luna walked over to her suitcase and uncovered her Laptop, searching her emails and face book pages. As expected three were from her parents, saying usual parental things, please come home, we miss you dearly, we just want to help you, please don't be mad, your blowing this way out of proportion, things like that and quickly, Luna deleted all three, looking back for any more that she had missed from the Frost family. But one that she had missed was from someone who she hadn't talked to in two years.

Lucas' email address.

With a gasp she clicked it open and read it furiously, then stopping to read it again a second time, and then a third, before finally taking another deep breath with shock, anger, and irritability.

Gotta hate those Cliff hangers! Fun to write, not fun to receive, but thankfully for you I lack as much patience as Luna so I'll be posting another chapter tomorrow, as always :) Anyone want to guess what the email says?
