Milly sat in the kitchen mixing ingredients for her cake. Chris was helping and so was Mr. and Mrs. Logan. All was getting ready for the family reunion. Traditionally, Milly and Mrs. Logan make a cake and a dish. Mr. Logan makes potato salad, it's the only thing he can make. Josh makes a dish and Jack takes credit for it too. Uncle T. and his newest girlfriend brings a pizza, of course. And Aunt Roo brings Wendy's favorite dessert, strawberry shortcake.

"Raven, calm down. Your just meeting a little bit of my family." Gar chuckled seeing a nervous Raven. Raven looked at her boyfriend and then at the floor.
"I just don't see why I have to go, I'm not family."
"You live in our house, we feed you, give ya clothes, and give ya love. And you even look like a Logan."
"I look nothing like a Logan. You guys have green or blue eyes and brown hair. You have peachy skin and elf ears!"
"Hey! I thought you like my pointy ears." Gar pouted, covering his ears as if ashamed. "And anyway, it doesn't matter how you look, it's how you feel. So, do you feel like you belong here?"
"Yes." Raven replied.
"Then that's all you need to be apart of this family." Gar smiled and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "Now, you should be getting ready. We leave in three hours."

Raven sat at the picnic table next to the radio playing with the dial. Chris was playing fetch with Lady G and Digit, Aunt Roo's dog; while Milly relaxed by the duck lake with the other adults.
"Hey, you know who that emo looking chick is over there?" Josh asked his twin.
"No, but she's hot. I think it's time to put on the Logan charm." Jack responded with a smirk.
"No way, man! You got the last one and anyway, I saw her first."
"Josh, don't kid yourself. That smile can only get you so far. I got the full package and everyone knows I get more ass than a toilet."
"That line is so lame and the closest you got to getting some was when mom just kiss on on the cheek!"
"That's not true! And at least I wasn't acting all wiped a month ago because of some whore!" Jack snarled.
"Her name is Jennifer and for the last time I was so not wiped!"
"Josh, you were so punk out. I mean, you did her laundry! Her laundry, for God's sake."
"Well, I kinda like doing that. Free access to her bras and panties."
"Dude, that's just nasty."
"Whatever, Jack. Bet I get Emo girl out of pants by tomorrow."
"Bet. But I know I can do it, for 20 bucks."
"Cool."
The two went off towards Raven.
"Hey." Josh coolly stated. Josh was about six feet tall and had his hair hovered down over his face. His hair is brown with two streaks of red and his eyes were as green as the grass they stood on. Jack pushed Josh aside for Raven to acknowledge him. He look just like Josh but his hair was shorter and he had black tips instead of red streaks.
"I'm Jack and he's...not important. You want a drink or a smoke? Not that I do does things, but I could go get you some."
Raven looked at the two young men in front of her. Brown hair, green eyes, and their ears look a bit pointed- a definite Logan. It was obvious that they wanted something and she doubt it was meaningful conversation.
"Raven!" Gar cried running up to her. "Sorry I kept you waiting, but I had to do something for Milly." Gar then took notice to his older brothers.
"Whoa! Don't tell me Garfield got a hottie like this as his girl." Jack said in disbelief as Josh stared in awe.
"Yeah, she is my girl. Got a problem with it?" Gar growled.
"No, no, no little bro. I'm just impressed as all. You must have been through a lot of changes since we've been gone. " Jack made a smirk, leading his little brother to the other side of the park. Once out of hearing distance, it began.
"Who are you, where do live, and what the hell are you doing to our brother?" Josh quickly asked in a suspicious tone.
"I'm a person, I live on land, and I have done nothing to your brother."
"Smart-ass. I like it. You can come up to New York if you want, with Gar if it's necessary." Josh smiled. Before anyone could say another word Milly stood up and went over to Raven.
Milly took hold of Raven and yelled out to her family,"I say it's time to eat! But before we do I would like to introduce a very special person to you all. This is Raisin. She's living with us and is part our family in heart. Raisin, the lady in red is Roo and that dog over there is Digit. You've meet Buba and Bug and Wendy is...Have anyone seen Wendy?"

"Wait Lady G! Come back! They're about to give out food, where are you going?" Chris followed Milly's dog as it ran happily. The dog didn't stop for a second and it was hard for Chris to keep up. They ran what felt like hours to Chris' feet. Then a miracle happened, Lady G stopped.
"I really should join a gym." an out of breath Chris manage to say. He catches his breath just for it to be stolen away again. Wendy sat under a large tree, smoking with her hair fizzled and wild.
"Wendy?"
"Hey, Worm. I see you and Lady found me. I guess you now you know I'm not perfect. Since you know that I smoke, you should know that I drink too, and I got a tattoo in a place that you can't say on the radio." She laughed but it was more pain than joy. She smiled and continued on," I also dropped out of college. It wasn't for me. But I couldn't tell mom or dad that there perfect daughter Wendy did these things. No, can't do that."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I want you to bare my burden. To share my pain with you."
"I hated you, but I shall forgive you for you ignorance and I'll just forget everything you just said." Chris picked up Lady G and started off to the site.
"You forgive me! Forgive me for what! You should be saying sorry to me! Your the reason I'm so miserable, Mr. Psychic."
"You know that I have visions and I only exposed them to you to keep you from dieing. If I didn't tell you, you would of died when that car came."
"Did you ever stop to think that I wanted to die?"
"Fix your hair, you look a mess." Chris said, ignoring her words. He began to walk the trail again with Lady G in his arms.

Wendy appeared after a few minutes. Her hair pulled back in a ponytail and with the biggest smile on her face.
"Wendy!" Gar ecstatically greeted his beloved sister. She smiled and gave him a hug. When they stopped, Gar smiled grew bigger.
"Wendy this is Raven, she's my girlfriend." Gar announced proudly. Wendy stared at the frail girl. In her eyes, Raven looked odd and freaky. Wendy smiled and walk off to greet Milly.
Standing in the shadows of the trees, the man watched. He watched as they talked and laughed and how Raven seem to cling onto her boyfriend. The man smiled, "I hope you're enjoying yourself Raven. Cause soon, you'll be back where you belong."
