Hey there TDI universe! Sorry I've been gone a while, I'm grounded at the moment. But, no one knows I'm on the computer at my grandparents! So I'll write, but I gotta be stealthy! Wish me luck, and enjoy the chappie! :)

Gwen's POV (After school)

Well, not my best school day, I'll say that without one little lie in that whole sentence. Well, I can only hope that tomorrow is better. And it's time to go back to my house. Or as I call it, hell away from hell! Because school is just as bad as home for me.

I was walking home, the same way I usually do, when all of a sudden I heard a motorcycle engine from behind me. I turned around and saw Trent riding down the road, like nobody's business. I shook my head at that thought, and continued walking. Just then, he pulled up to me and slowed down.

"Hey Gwen, are you walking?" I stared at him strangely. "Does it look like I'm riding a unicycle?" He just laughed at my sarcasm. "Nope, you're not made of rubber and metal from my angle." I laughed back, seeing that he could match my wit.

"Hey, you need a ride? I heard it was supposed to rain." I contemplated his offer, then came up with an answer. "I'd rather not. My dad would NOT like me riding home with a dude I just met today." Which is HALF true. He would flip, but it would be my brother doing the flipping.

"Oh, come on. I'm pretty sure you don't wanna get wet!" That's true too. He'd flip if I tracked a boatload of water into the house. I thought a little more, then changed my mind. "Ok, a ride home wouldn't hurt." Trent just smiled, and handed me a helmet. I slowly got on the motorcycle, and wrapped my arms around his waist, slightly blushing. Trent smiled even wider, and drove off.

It took a while, but I finally got home. I looked around the house, and saw my brother watching from his bedroom window. Great, now I'm doomed. I sighed, grabbing my stuff, preparing for the worst. "Thanks for taking me home, Trent. But now my dad will kill me." He looked confused. "He saw me?" I only nodded. "He NEVER lets me out of his sight. When he can see me." Trent nodded understandingly. "Well, see ya tomorrow Gwen." I waved, and went inside me house, waiting for the torture to begin.

As soon as I slammed the door shut, my 'brother' came running to the door. He automatically wrapped his hands around my throat, tightening ever so slightly. "Who was that?! You KNOW I don't like you talking to strangers!" I coughed on him, making him drop me. He wiped his face, leaving me gasping for air on the floor.

"He...he was just taking me home." I explained, gasping for air. My brother then glared at me, and dropped me to the floor, making me fall on my butt. He then glared at me AGAIN, then barged into his room, and slammed the door.

Isn't he lovely?

Lila's POV (After school, going home)

Well, this turned out to be a pretty good day, all in all! Made some new friends, might have found a new crush, AND managed to keep my secret from my art partner! Wow, nice way to start off the year. I was just walking home, when I heard something strange. It sounded like someone screaming 'AIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAIAI!' It was coming from behind me, so I looked back there to see...

...Izzy, on a vine, swinging through the forest next to the sidewalk. I just shook me head, smiling at her crazy antics. Soon, she saw me, and cackled even MORE than before! If that's even possible. Izzy then jumped off the vine, did a back flip TWICE, and landed next to me. I clapped, and crazy-girl bowed.

"Hey Lila! What's going on?" She asked, and started walking next to me. I shrugged, wondering what was wrong with her. "Nothing much, just walking home from school. You?" Izzy then zoned out, and snapped back into reality in 5 seconds. "Trying to figure out if I can find a unicorn in the sugar forest!" I just stared at her...until she snapped her fingers in my face.

"Sorry Iz, did you just say sugar forest?" She nodded her head excitedly, and I just laughed again. We just kept talking about random stuff, until I reached my house. "Well, here's my stop. See ya tomorrow Iz!" She waved, somehow found another vine, and swung away. I just shook my head and went inside.

"Linda! Ed! I'm home!" I shouted. After the...accident with my parents, I moved around the country on my own. Which...didn't really work out, since I only took a shower every 4 days. So, now I live with my aunt and uncle. they know everything that happened, and said they'd protect me for as long as they could.

"Aw, there's our favorite niece!" My aunt came in and said. Shes' the cool one. Ed's cool too, but he's a little stuck up. Linda then pulled me into a hug, which I returned. They may not be my parents, but they're great. Soon Ed came out, wearing his usual khaki slacks and a striped polo shirt. Weird preppy style.

"Hey Lila, how was school?" Uncle Ed asked me. I shrugged. "Good. Met some new friends." Ed just nodded, and then went back into his study. He's always in there, doing who knows what. Linda shook her head at him. "Always working in that study of his! Now, how was school?" I just stared at my aunt, which made her laugh.

"I meant, are there any cute boys?" I blushed when she said that, and Linda giggled. "Oohh, tell me everything!" I just laughed. "I mean, yes, he's cute, but he's got a girlfriend. BUT, they're one of those on-again off-again couples. So I MAY have a chance." Linda smiled, and patted my head. "I'm gonna go finish dinner." Linda then went into the kitchen, to finish...whatever she's making.

My life is a little messed-up, but how much worse can it get?

Ok, once again, SO SORRY for taking so long! I'm now ungrounded, so hopefully I can get some writing in. Now, I'll say the disclaimer.

Me: Heather, you say it.

Heather: No way! I'm not saying that dumb thing.

Everyone else besides me and Heather: NO!

Me: Heh, your funeral! But for now, Gwen say it.

Gwen: FINE! ThatCrazyChick179 doesn't own us, or TDI! But she does own the idea...if no one else already tried to make a story like this.

Me: And REVIEW! More reviews, faster update! U Cuz each review is like a can of to me. So REVIEW, please. :)
