"Piper, when are the guys getting back?" I felt the need to whisper my question although it wouldn't matter if I had spoken it. Piper frowned at me and answered in a normal voice.

"They should be here really soon." Piper reassured me and a door opened somewhere. I gasped and ran toward the front door. Aerrow was the first one through the door, smiling and carrying a bag with bread in it. Finn entered right after Aerrow, a confused look on his face as he carried in the eggs and something else; maybe meat.

"Don't get a headache, Finn. It might be too deadly for you." Stork commented as he walked in, twirling keys and carrying a small plastic bag.

"Ha ha. You're too funny, Stork." Finn replied, attempting to walk up the three steps that separated the entrance way from the main level. Stork smirked and pushed Finn lightly on the back. Finn scowled and they both followed Aerrow into the kitchen.

"Hey," Someone said loudly behind me and I jumped violently. Piper giggled and I twisted around. Junko's tall body never ceased to amaze me. I found myself staring at his chest before tilting my head back to look at him. "What's up?"

"What's up?! Why do you enjoy scaring me so much? I'm jumpy!" I yelled lightly at him. Junko laughed and walked to the kitchen with five bags of food in his hands. I sighed. How can you stay mad at a person who's so sweet? Aerrow was the first one out and walked to Piper's side.

"I'm home." He whispered to her lightly; not lightly enough for me not to hear.

"I missed you." She whispered back. I bit the inside of my lip, embarrassed about knowing what they're saying to one another.

"I missed you more." Aerrow faintly whispered, taking her hand lightly. My face felt as if it were red and I was pretty sure it was. I watched Stork walk over Erika and whisper something in her ear. I was grateful that I couldn't hear them. Erika stole a glance my way and Charles, who had moved from Erika's side to the couch, looked at me as well. I frowned before I realised that I was holding my breath. I let it out forcefully and started to breath normal. That's when yelling from the kitchen stopped all activities. Well, all except Charles who turned the TV on and had hard-core rock and roll on in the background.

"You don't EVEN know HOW to love!" Finn yelled.

"Well, at least I'm NOT a WOMANIZER!" Junko yelled back. I frowned and followed Aerrow into the kitchen. He drug Piper with him, her body close to his. Finn and Junko were close to one another, panting with a growl on their voices.

"I'm NOT a womanizer. There's just no woman perfect for me... until now." Finn said with a growl. I leaned against the door frame, wondering if I could figure out who this perfect woman is.

"Finn," Junko huffed angrily. "You ARE a WOMANIZER! If she really knows the truth, she deserves you but she doesn't! You've only gone after a woman if she presents a challenge or she's hot. She's both"

"Yeah, that's what makes it FUN! Do you know WHAT FUN is, Junko?" Finn angrily spat at him as he ripped the fridge door open.

"I hope you die trying to get her love." Obviously, this girl was very pretty and popular for both Junko and Finn to be fighting over. I'd like to meet this girl, just to see for myself. I shifted my feet and looked on as Finn came up with a reply. Finn gasped and turned to Junko with teary eyes. "Finn," Junko started, taking a step toward Finn. Finn backed up.

"Lo Siento!" Junko said and I frowned. What did he just say?!

"I accept." Finn hiccuped out, moving toward Junko with a hand out. They shook and Junko spoke up.

"I know you love her but I love Taryn more." My body froze completely. It felt like a electric tingle was trapped at the tips of my fingers. My heart accelerated and pounded against my chest with the intention of getting out one way or another.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I won't challenge you." Finn retorted, holding out a hand.

"May the best man win!" Junko replied, shaking Finn's hand and they both laughed. I gasped loudly, my breathing trying to keep up with my heart rate. They both turned toward me and their faces dropped quickly. "Taryn..." I blunk and nodded slowly.

"Taryn, are you OK?" Finn asked as they both approached me. I was paralyzed once more, my body not responding to my mind. Even if I could move, I don't think I would. I wanted them near me; I wanted them to protect me. I loved them both. My face was a blank when I processed what I was thinking. I LOVE them; I truly do! I finally registered that two people were hugging me at the same time. I slowly brought my arms around their necks and whispered softly.

"I love you two! You guys are amazing!" I let go and they both straightened up. Junko smiled widely as Finn turned red. I smiled and Piper pulled lightly on my sleeve.

"Umm, we got a problem here!" Piper exclaimed and she pulled me to where everyone else was, near the TV. Finn and Junko followed confused and I shrugged my shoulders. We reached the television set and Piper sat me on the couch in between Aerrow and Charles. I shivered but focused on the TV. Remains of some building were flashing across it and I shrugged.

"So some place in Iran or whatever got blown up. What's that got to do with us? We're in Canada." Piper turned it up and the words became recognizable. The news reporter sounded sketchy and scared.

"Earlier today, the Pentagon was attacked. It is unclear who the attacker is, but there is substantial evidence that it was a series of bombs. The Pentagon itself is utterly demolished, and all of the approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees have been killed. So far, there are no leads except for a note and a small Union Jack. The note reads, 'RULE BRITAIN! LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!'." We all stopped, our mouths open at the news.

"Someone bombed the pentagon?!" I said, scared for Mom and Josh even though they were nowhere closed to the bombing.

"That's one pretty talented person." Charles piped up, his face speechless although his eyes started flickering again. I shivered.

"Yeah, I wonder how they did it." Erika added, holding Stork's hand. Stork petted it softly and Erika's face calmed quickly.

"I don't know, but we're dealing with someone who hates America and loves England." Aerrow figured, holding Piper close. I looked over at Charles, feeling as if he were responsible for it. His eyes flickered on and off as if to confirm my suspicion.
