Hello! Hello! I am back now, and I apologize for the wait! My whole family has been buzzing around and bothering me. I wasn't able to even get onto facebook in about two weeks. Please forgive me.

So now I am back (sorry again) And I am ready to address reviews and questions/PMs.

Bry Elizabeth M: Thank you for all the reviews! It means a lot to me and I will of course try to recreate some of the moments that you thought were best :3 And btw I think anyone smart enough to be able to find the weird site of fanfiction entertaining is really awesome! :D please continue reviewing and thanks again for your support! :D

Emma: Well, honestly, I wasn't really thinking about the laws or anything (I'm guessing that's a law?) But it's not like I'm making them get married. But, your review does matter to me. If I get some more reviews like your's (from different people) then I'll change the pairing to a crush or something less drastic than them both liking each other.

Haven Silvetta: Haha! Your reviews made me laugh really hard! Please continue to write them! I loved the one with Percy, that was extremely funny to me (I'm a Percy Jackson nerd myself) Thanks for the reviews! :D

KarminLove: I am glad you thought the chapter was awesomeness! I did too! Thanks for the reviews and please continue to send them! :D As to what you said: This chapter was altered slightly by what you said! Thanks for reminding me! :)

The PM who stated that they would like to be known as "anonymous": I thank you for all your support and ideas! I love when anybody gives me ideas through reviews, PMs, or anything! So thank you for all the ideas and I'll be sure to include the first one you sent me into this chapter :D!

Thanks, to the story! :D


Aloe had begun to get angry with Shawn in the two months she had lived with Juliet. It wasn't because he wasn't visiting her, because he was. Even more so than their parents.. It wasn't because he wasn't calling her enough, because he was just as much as their parents. It wasn't that he was calling her too much. It was because he would sneak into her apartment with the key she had given him and all the codes (she'd also let the guard know that Shawn was welcome anytime- well, until she realized how frequently he would bug her) and he'd lay down in her bed beside her. It was frustrating!


DAY 1

Aloe was sleeping soundly, until she heard the sound of something breathing beside her. She debated mentally for a second whether or not to go back to sleep or open her eyes, and decided to open them. To her surprise, there was a man laying in her bed, watching her. Before she could think, Aloe punched the stranger square in the nose. The stranger yelped and jumped up from the bed, and continued to fall onto the ground. Aloe searched her immediate surroundings for a weapon, and grabbed the unplugged lamp off of the bedside table, and held it over the person threateningly.

The person held his hand on his nose and laid limp on the ground, hazel eyes flashing painfully. With a pang of relief, Aloe smiled and realized that she knew this person- Shawn!

"Sorry!" She exclaimed, suddenly coming to the conclusion that she had punched her older brother in the nose.

"What were you going to do with that!?" Shawn said in a muffled voice, obviously because of his nose. "Thwack me to death?" Beneath his hand, Aloe heard a sound like a moaning walrus, but she figured out it must have been Shawn laughing.

Juliet entered the room, hearing a man's voice, and she had her gun in hand. She was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a white t-shirt with a cute doodle on the front. "Shawn? What happened?" She looked at the lamp in Aloe's hand, and at Shawn again. "Chelsey, you didn't-"

"No, I didn't hit him in the face with a lamp, Juliet." Aloe laughed a little and set the lamp back onto the bedside table. "I just, might have, possibly punched him in the face."

"You punched him?"

"Well, I didn't mean to," Aloe explained with a laugh, sitting back on the bed and helping Shawn up. "He was laying in my bed, staring at me!" She shuddered slightly.

Juliet turned to Shawn. "Shawn.." She sounded breathless and impatient, but nonetheless she started to giggle slightly. "I guess you know better now, huh?" She peeled his hand away from his nose, and went to retrieve the first-aid.

When she left, Shawn looked to Aloe who looked back at him. She cringed when she saw the trail of blood running down and all around his nose, and squinted her eyes. "Sorry.."

Shawn frowned a little longer, then grinned. "It's all good."

He gave a laugh, then she gave a laugh, and soon enough, they were laughing as hard as they could at one another. When Juliet reentered the room, she was frowning curiously, wondering why they were both laughing.

She patched up Shawn's nose quickly, and they entered the kitchen for breakfast.


DAY 4

Aloe was freezing cold, to the point of shivering, when she woke up. She didn't want to open her eyes, hoping that if she didn't she might be able to go back to sleep. She was curled into a ball on her bed, legs curled beneath her. She reached down to her feet, hoping to grab the blanket, but found nothing. She reached a little further, her fingers gliding over the bed, until she couldn't reach any further. She reluctantly opened her eyes and jumped backwards off the bed when she saw Shawn asleep in her bed, hogging all the blankets.

"Shawn!" She objected, getting off the floor and jumping back onto the couch as hard as she could. The bed shook for a moment and Shawn woke up with a start.

"W..what?" He shouted, sitting up groggily with blankets covering his head.

She sighed and retook her blankets. She glanced towards the clock and began to boil angrily. It was only 4:39 in the morning. "Why are you in my bed, Shawn?" Her eyes flashed.

He took a minute to think about it. "I don't know. I just," He frowned thoughtfully. "I missed you."

Aloe couldn't be mad at him for that. She sighed slowly, and gave him a hug, then returned to her slumber.


DAY 19

It was Saturday. Oh, how Aloe had missed Saturdays. Every single morning she had to get up by 7:00, which wasn't very early but still it bothered her, except for Saturday. On Saturday, she could sleep until 9:30 if Juliet allowed, which she usually did because Juliet was also very exhausted by then.

A loud bang announced itself at 7:00 in the morning, and Shawn entered the room with a plate of intensely burned pancakes that he had clearly made himself. "I've got breakfast!" He sang in a girlish voice.

Aloe growled and threw herself back into her pillows to sleep a little longer, when Gus entered the room too.

"Allie, please understand that I have nothing to do with this and I'm not stocking you, but Shawn took my car here and-"

She shot daggers at him, then sat back up with a moan. She shook the sleep from her mind and returned to her natural fun-loving personality. "Why are you here so early?"

"It's only 7:00." Shawn scoffed.

"It's a Saturday! My only day to sleep in!"

"What about Sundays, Aloe?" He contradicted.

"I go to church!" She countered back.

He thought for a minute. "Oh, right.."

"Since when have you stopped coming to church, Shawn?"

"In my defense-"

"There shouldn't be a defense, Shawn."

"I go to church!" Gus interjected with a proud smile.

"Man, don't be a teacher's pet!" Shawn slouched over the bed and handed Aloe the plate. "Anyways, breakfast in bed!"

She picked up a pancake and beat it against the side of the plate. It was harder than a brick bat. "I see you cooked them less than last time." She deadpanned.

They all broke out into laughter.


DAY 36

By the time Aloe had woken up, she already knew what would be there. She wasn't going to be surprised this time. She always knew that Shawn would be there, since he'd slept in her bed 36 straight days already. She expected that by now he'd have at least taken a break.

She slowly peered out her eyes, prepared to see a snoring Shawn.

Instead, she saw a snoring clown.

"AHH!" She screamed, jumping up and reaching for the lamp, when the clown opened his eyes. His hazel eyes. "Shawn, what the heck?!"

He sat up immediately, screaming a little bit too before realizing the she had stopped reaching for the lamp. "What're you talkin' 'bout?" He slurred sleepily.

"You're dressed as a clown!" She shouted.

Shawn looked down at his outfit. "It appears so."

She gave an exasperated yawn. This was too insane.


Aloe frowned at all of the memories of Shawn waking her up. It was so tiring, she just couldn't stand it. She eventually got to the point where she was locking her bedroom door, only to find Shawn sleeping beside her the next morning. She didn't understand why he was slinging to her. Well, she could see a little bit- she was his sister, after all- but not to this extent.

She sat up in her bed, and prepared to face any sort of stunt that Shawn might have planned up for her. She opened her eyes, and was shocked to see that there was nobody there.

Shaking her head, Aloe assumed the next possibility: he was in the living room, talking to Juliet. But when she exited her bedroom, there wasn't anyone. Anywhere. She checked Juliet's bedroom, and was shocked to find it empty. Where was everybody?

She walked back to her bedroom and threw on a pair of jean shorts that rolled up to her knees and had been sewn into place there by her mother, a tree-hugger t-shirt that read "Think Green", and her blue jacket she had been wearing the day she had met Lassiter and seen Shawn again for the first time in years. It was a warm-up jacket, and she loved it. She had matching pants, but they were too baggy for her to wear.

Aloe folded her pajamas- pink pants and a white t-shirt- and put them in her drawers. She was already wearing the wig (it hadn't been removed unless she was showering, where nobody could see) Then wig looked unbelievably real, and looked more real every day.

Juliet had taken Aloe to get a spray-tan so that she looked tan without using hundreds of dollars of make-up, and it suited her pretty well. She looked much, much different. She didn't really need to do anything to look like Chelsey anymore, just dress like a.. well, like a girl. Which Aloe didn't do very often, judging by her mass of sports t-shirts and jeans.

But since she wasn't leaving the house until noon, she decided just to wear what was comfortable.

Aloe walked out of her bedroom, when a pair of hands grabbed her from behind. Aloe struggled for a moment, her mind flashing with ideas. Grab the broom, grab the lamp, run to Juliet, get Juliet's gun, call Shawn- SHAWN!

"Shawn is that you?" Aloe shouted, jerking her head to see if it was her brother. But instead, she saw a man with a black body suit and a fedora. "SHAWN! SHAWN!" She shouted frantically. Tears of fear began to make themselves in her eyes, and she kicked the person.

He- or she- gasped, and lunged at Aloe. Aloe tried to fight the person off, when they held something over her mouth. Black spots began to cover her vision, and she struggled, trying to keep conscious, but she couldn't. She fell limp in the person's arms.

It had begun.


PLEASE REVIEW! Love you guys! :3
