Me: Heres chapter 10! Sorry for the long wait

Hal: yeah she was busy with Ben! XD

ME: Shut up! I will hurt you!(chases him around)

Ben: Stop it Hal! (Cheeks are red)

Mariah: Oompa loompa…CALM YOUR SELF!do the disclaimer already!

Me: You do it!

Mariah: Fine…..Izaria does not own Falling skies or any of its character

Brian/Brianna: On with the story!

The look on their faces', priceless! I looked back and forth between Mariah and Hal, we were

all barely containing our laughs at the three adults. Tom was the first one to break the silence.

"Yo-you're a girl?" He asked still a little shocked.

"Yeah Tom, I am." I said a little sheepishly. I felt kinda bad lying to all of them. I looked up to Tom's eyes and saw the confusion and hurt they held. Shit. I thought as I chastised myself for causing the look.

I sighed, as I fan my hand through my hair. "Let me explain first before you ask me any questions, okay?" They seemed to agree somewhat.

I walked over to a chair and sat down placing my elbows on my knees. "Well for starters, my real name is Brianna. I don't have a twin, boy or girl. I made Brian up after we met Pope, as a way to protect ourselves. If people thought I was a guy when they met us it would seem most likely that they would leave us alone." They nodded their heads, seeming to understand. Hal was looking intently at Mariah. He's probably wondering if she's actually a guy. I thought, slightly amused.

"Anyway, the story I told you guys yesterday actually happened. I just subbed in another sibling." I finished up looking at the floor, not wanting to meet their eyes.

"Sorry." I finally said, lamely, after a long and silent pause.

"What for?" Tom asked confused. I jerked my head up in surprise. I was shocked to

See that none of them looked angry, not even Weaver!

"You're not mad that I lied?" I asked dumbfounded, I was so sure they would be a little pissed off.

Tom walked over to me and placed a fatherly hand on my shoulder. "Of course not Bria- Brianna." He chuckled as he remembered my real name.

"You we're only protecting your family. We're just relieved that you trust us to let us know the truth." He finished with a smile.

"Really?! Does this mean that me and Mariah can still be fighters?" I asked hopefully. Everyone laughed as I easily changed the topic so fast.

"Sure kid. We need all the help we can get." Weaver said strolling out of the room.

"Well I guess that takes care of that. Hurry up Oompa loompa and change back already. We need to get a head start on our first day as fighters." Mariah yelled at me as she walked out with Hal, who was finally convinced she was a girl.

"OH, and welcome to the Second Mass. Oompa Loompa." Hal yelled back.

"Troll, ass." I growled as I made my way back to get my clothes. The others still laughing as they exited the room. I pulled on my "Brian" clothes, still grumbling about be harassed by the Troll and Hal.

I had just placed my shirt over my head when the door swung open.

"Hey dad I-" said Ben right before he froze. His face turned bright red, as he stared at my now girly figure. "oh…Shitake mushrooms." I said as I pulled my shirt down.

"What is with you Mason boys and coming in when I'm changing!" I yelled as I pulled on my boots and tied them. I hurriedly placed my hair back into my short wig, feeling the burn on my face. Great. Now another one saw me!

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Get in here and close the door." I said pulling out another chair so that he can sit. This is going to be a long day. I sighed.

He seemed to snap out of whatever he was in as he quickly shut the door and went towards me, eyes burning with questions.

"You're a girl?" He asked in disbelief. His cheeks still had a slight pink tint to them. Interesting.

"Yup." I said as I crossed to sit down. Before I reached the chair he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him. My heart started to race as I realized how close we were. My heart continued to beat faster and faster as I stared into his eyes. I saw them widened a little as my face started to grow hot, my wig had fallen to the floor and my hair now flowed freely. "How, wha- what-," He started to ask but he was cut off when Hal marched into the room.

"Hey Bri-," He started but soon stop as he saw Ben and me. If my face wasn't red before it was now after being caught.

"Well lookie what we have here? I'm guessing he found out eh Brianna?" He said as a catlike smile started to spread on his face. "I'm sorry to interrupt this cute little moment but Weaver needs you Bri." He said still smiling.

I slapped away Ben's hand before rushing out the door. My cheeks burning in embarrassment as I roughly pushed past Hal into the hall, straightening my wig.

"What just happened?" I barely heard Ben say as I ran down the hallway to find Weaver. Can things get any worse? I thought as I turned the corner.

I was halted as I bumped into a person also running down the hall.

"Oof!" was all I heard before I fall back on my butt.
