My exams are coming up on the 27th April, so I'll make this quick- good luck to all those in the same position as me! End of year exams are scaaary! Oh and bold is Rosa, italics are Horatio, underline is Tom and normal is Dan. It'll make sense, don't worry.

Tom strolled down the dark pavement, hands in his pockets, letting the crisp night air fill his lungs. he had pulled his jacket back on, but unconsciously tugged it slightly closer, shivering. Why were British nights so cold? His breath came out in front of him in puffs of air. Briefly, he thought about the tiny water droplets condensing and turning into a little cloud, but his thoughts drifted back to Aneisha.

Aneisha, so beautiful, so wonderful! And so sweet. Fierce too. He chuckled at the thought of Aneisha yelling her head off (he didn't have to imagine it- she'd done that plenty of times). While it was scary in the moment, Tom often reflected on the tiny little scrunch on her forehead whenever she was angry. Sometimes he had wanted to give into the impulse to kiss it away and make her happy again (although that would probably end with him in an MI9 hospital).

RING! Tom picked up his phone, hearing familiar yells in the background. "Hey Dan! How's life back at yours?" he said cheerfully. He could practically hear the boy scowling from the other end.

"You bastard... Leave all the adults to me while you get cozy with Aneisha..." there was no real poison in his voice though, just a tint of exasperated humour. "Watcha doing- OH GOD! I haven't disturbed anything, have I?"

"No, you haven't. I'm on my way home, actually. What's up with Stella?"

"I have no idea. But you would NOT believe the day I'm having..."

So Dan proceeded to tell Tom about how Stella and Frank had barely been married 5 minutes when Stella had come back to the venue, yelling her head off about kittens and adoption. Then she'd pulled Rosa into car and all three of them had driven off together.

"It was so awkward," Rosa told the two boys. She was on her own phone, chatting to them. "Can you believe what she wanted? SHE WANTED TO ADOPT-"

"Leave them to blow my ears off instead, would you?" Horatio Stark remarked dryly, his voice echoing slightly from the living room. Dan was in his room, Rosa was outside in the garden and Tom was walking home. All 4 were on their phones.

"Yeah, but what did Stella want?" Dan asked impatiently.

A girly shriek that could only be Tom. "She wanted a baby!"

"What? No! Don't be silly! Stella has a kitten now!"

"Yes, Rosa, and that kitten has disappeared, which means Stella's gone into mother mode and is tearing our house down looking for it."

"A kitten, that's so cute!"

"Um, mum..."

"Where did they get it from again?"

"That pet shop down the road, Horatio. I think Frank wanted a goldfish..."

"MUM-"

"What colour is the kitty? I want DETAILS!"

"Er, guys, is the kitten white?"

"Yes it is son. Oh and Tom it has a black spot on it's eye."

"Oh wow! So it's like... A pirate or something!"

"Erm, guys, I think-"

"I think it's called Dory, or Dora."

"No, Frank said it's Emily..."

"How about Yelda?"

"Yes, that was it! Thanks Dan!"

"Yeah, about-"

"Yelda's not a pirate name at all..."

"GUYS THE CAT IS IN MY ROOM I PICKED IT UP AND TOOK IT HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A STRAY!"

Rosa and Horatio said in unison: "WHAT!? STELLA!"

Once Stella was reunited with Yelda, Frank trying to pet Yelda's head as the couple relaxed on Rosa's sofa, Dan turned his attention back to the call.

"Hey Tom, I-"

BEEP BEEP BEEP. Strange. The call had ended. Tom must have got tired of waiting or something. He yawned, suddenly feeling tired himself. Well, got a long day at school tomorrow, he thought, before his head hit the pillow and he was out like a light.

"HEY! Who are you?" Tom asked, as he was dragged blindfolded by the scruff of his collar towards... away from... somewhere. All he could see was blackness, and it scared it a little bit. He only heard a cold voice.

"Start wiping his mind clean," it said, and Tom forgot that in the end.

Because without memories, you had nothing to shape you as a person. Just a shell.

Once again, I am going to shamelessly ask for reviews and shout out to my friend LeEvilOreo. Good luck again to all! Kisses and hope for everyone! (I ran out of cookies).
