Momma turned serious as she looked between us but she couldn't hold it for more than five seconds(I counted). She let out a squeal and hugged both Tristan and me. "Momma!" I cried out and she looked at me with very happy eyes that I couldn't resist cracking a smile at. I sighed. "Momma please." She kissed me multiple times on the cheek and then did the same to Tristan. He just looked very surprised and I sighed. She let go and shook Dad's shoulders so hard Mom had to stop her.

Tristan touches his cheek then looked at me confused as he then watched my hysterical momma run around like a child on too many M&Ms. Ash laughed and walked over to Tristan and shook his hand. "Better take good care of my sister," She then turned stone serious. "I know both karate and jujitsu." Tristan smiled at her. "I swear I will." He turned to me giving me a loving look. I blushed and scratched my scar feeling awkward. I felt his hand on mine as his eyes lingered on my scar then gave me a look telling me to stop.

Dad and Mom then got up. Oh boy. Mom sighed and looked at Dad like she was ready o take him out of the house the second he went all alpha male mode on poor Tristan. Dad sighed and rolled his eyes, he then turned to Tristan puffing out his chest and trying to look taller. Mom rolled her eyes. Dad didn't say anything but gave Tristan a look(and if looks could kill, Tristan would be permanently traumatized) and shook his hand(with unnecessary strength). Mom raised a brow at Dad and he sighed once more. "Better take good care of my girl Thomas."

"Uh, its." I put a hand on his shoulder. "He knows," I glared at Dad. "He just does that on purpose." Dad shrugged and sat back down staring a hole into Tristan's head. Mom looked at me apologetically and I sighed.

"Hello," Mom said kinder than Dad's version of a greeting and Tristan smiled at her. "A pleasure to finally meet you Ms...uh," Mom laughed and I raised a brow at her. "Cameron Morgan-Goode." Tristan nodded. "Ms. Morgan-Goode." She sat down next to Dad and he wrapped an arm around her waist and she smiled at him. Ash smiled and rolled her eyes and Momma stopped running around and came back to join us with still bubbly and cheerful.

I didn't know what to sat as I sat back down till Tristan spoke saving me from saying anything stupid. "Kana's family, will you please allow me to date your daughter, er, and sister?" I knew that behind that brave face her put he was trembling on the inside. I reached out and held his hand. He looked at me then puffed out his chest standing up to his full height.

Momma looked at us with a sad/happy look. I did get why she looked at us like that then I realized, the conversation I shouldn't have listened into. I gave her a small smile. She saw that and nodded. I nodded right back.

After getting permission to date Dad drilled Tristan through many scenarios that he'll have to save me and I sighed. "Dad, please, stop." I groaned out and Dad shook his head stubbornly. Ugh. Ash patted my back then whispered in my ear. "He's the reason I don't date." I had to hold back my laughter and it came out as a giant snort and I got plenty of stares and I blushed coughing. Ash laughed and I smiled and shoved her playfully.

She shoved me back and I caught Tristan looking at me with that same goofy lovey-dovey smile and I blushed fixing my hair a bit remembering that it was still a rat's nest. It seemed like hours before Dad gave up with Tristan and sat back down with Mom when really it's only been like 12 minutes(11:56 but that's close enough).

We had to leave soon since the Moon's would probably be back and wonder how the heck we got here or wonder what we were even doing so we said our goodbyes and I felt dizzy. I can't believe this is all happening. This is awesome!

Momma smirked at me. "Someone's happy." I blushed. "Says the woman who ran around someone else home like a child on a sugar rush." She nodded. "Touche."

We walked home and I noticed that not a single light was on in any of the rooms. I guess we missed the movie. Oh well. We passed through the gates with no trouble from the very confused guard and walk in. It was odd being back here.

I remembered when it was this quiet, I tried to rob this place back then. A security guard passed us and nodded towards Mom and Dad, they nodded back and Momma waved and the guard waved back.

We split once we got up the stairs, Ash and I went to our room as the adults left and I smirked. "Hey, Ash?" She gave me a simple. "Humm?"

"You better watch out."

"Why-" I grabbed her and threw her onto my shoulder and raced to our room and she pounded her fits on my backs. "Kana! Let me go!" I laughed and shook my head. I opened the door and tossed her onto her bed and she scrambled to get up but she got tangled in her sheets instead and I laughed and ran into the bathroom.

"I call the first shower!" I yelled at her and I heard her sighed. "Seriously Kana?" I nodded the laughed realizing she couldn't see that. "Yep!"

I showered quickly and combed my wet hair so it wouldn't look so bad in the morning(unlike tonight) and I opened the door to see Ash smirking at a camera.

"You taped it didn't you?" She jumped then smiled at me. "Mel asked, that and your mom was more than happy to help." I sighed and walked over. I felt my face go red seeing what was on the screen.

It was the part where Tristan had already asked me out to both being his girlfriend and the dance. We were kissing passionately and I tried to snatch the camera but she moved out of my way too quickly and I fell.

"Please tell me you didn't already send it to her if you did just lie to me."

"Okay, I didn't send it."

I paused then sighed. "You sent it already didn't you?" I looked over at her and saw her nodding. "Lexie too?" She nodded once more. I covered my face. "Bury me." I groaned out and Ash shook her head sitting next to me. "But Kana, then who will go in your place with Tristan to the Fall Dance. I blushed.

I thought about it for a sec then sighed. She was sadly right. Again. As she walked off to the bathroom leaving me with the camera she called back.

"I've made over 50 copies and send five to everyone. Also, Lexie and Mel messaged you. Better check those messages."

I instantly looked at my watch and sure enough, I had over 30 messages each Gallagher Girl. I sighed and check Mel first since I knew I'd have many essays to read.

Turns out I was wrong. I guess I shocked Mel so badly she couldn't even write more than a sentence.

What the daisies?!
Is that Kana?!
Oh my gosh is that Tristan?!
Are they kissing?!
Did I see some tongue?!
Kana, answer your freaking watch!
Kana?!
Are you too busy right now *wink* *wink*?
Who's recording this?
Ash?
Kana, what's going on?
Did he just ask you out?
KANA!

And so on. She just went on and on with random questions and I answered with this:

Mel, deep breaths. Yes, he asked me out, yes that's Tristan, no there was no tongue, yes Ash recorded this. I'm not saying anymore bye.

Which only gave me more messages instantly and I ignored them all. I then went to Lexie's chat. At least 15 of those 30 were just winking emojis and hearts. I sigh reading what she had to say.

1. Dang Kana, getting yo game on huh?
2. Go get you man girl?
3. Wait why is he on one knee?
4. Kana?
5. Kana?!
6. KANA?!
7. What the heck is going on?
8. Why did you guys go inside?
9. What's happening?
10. Kana?!
11. Don't make me text Ash.
12. Kana!
13. What's the point of this watch if you don't use it, idiot?
14. Oh, you guys sure are cozy on that couch.
15. Mum and Dad say a good job, Dad sent you a thumbs up.

She showed this to her parents?! I covered my face with my hands. Great, not even Lexie's parents saw my mini-make out with Tristan.

Lex?

She responded immediately.

She lives!-L
Ha ha-K
Details-L
Pushy much?-K
Meh, spies have to push sometimes for answer-L
Did you already see the video?-K
Yeah but the quality wasn't that good, I mean I could see it clearly just that I couldn't hear it-L
Good-K
Aw Kana, come on, you can tell your buddy Lex-L
Nope-K
Okay-L

I glared at the screen suspiciously, if I know the Baxter family as well as I do they don't just give up. I stared at it for a while longer till suddenly the screen glowed brighter than the f*cking sun. I hissed at the sudden light then let out a startled screech when my watch blasted loud country music.

"Ah!" I squinted through the glare and saw that I had an incoming call. Can we do that with these things? I pressed accept and Lexie's face covered the screen. I knew it. I heard Ash's booming laughter from the bathroom and I growled.

"Felicity!" She gave me an 'innocent' look. "Yes, dearest friend Kana?" I glared at her turning down the light. "You b!tch-"

"Language!" I heard a very familiar husky voice called and I blinked. "Was that your dad?" Lexie nodded and moved her camera or whatever so I could see the Baxter family. I waved awkwardly and glared at Lexie.

"How many of them have seen it?" They all raised their hands and Grant gave me a thumbs up. I groaned and covered my face. I heard Lexie's laugh and I glared at her. "You!" She smiled at me. "You never said I couldn't," Bex's voice called from across the room.

"Besides, we wanted to know why Felicity was laughing so hard." I groaned and felt my face heat up. Lexie laughed.

"Ha! You should see your face, it so red!" I covered my cheeks with my arm.

"Shut up you stupid Brit!" I hissed and I saw the adults frown. I didn't care. "You should have seen your own face after you kissed me!" Lexie turned very pale and she looked at me with horror. Oh snap, did they even know?

"What?!" Her family exploded and Lexie turned to them face red and sweaty. "Uh, I..." Bex and Grant's eyes darted from me to Lexie. I smirked.

"You think I'd forget Baxter! I mean it was an accident, but still!" The adults all looked confused now. "Accident?" I nodded.

"I raced Lex one morning and I tried to trip her but she took me down with her and we stumbled. I mean it technically doesn't count but whatever!" I snapped and Lexie looked at me surprised but I wouldn't meet her eyes.

I couldn't believe this girl. I seriously thought I was going to have to explain the whole embarrassing story of my ongoing crush on Kana to them and the kiss but Kana took that bullet for me. Her lie was so smooth and clean it fooled even me for a while.

Mum laughed and elbowed me, I blushed.

"It was an accident!" I wailed and Dad laughed with her and I covered my face with my hands. I peeked at Kana through them and I saw her pouting.

"Stupid Brit." She muttered and it made my stomach flip. I guess the nickname doesn't offend me anymore. Really it just makes me feel strange. Mum and Dad didn't like the fact that she called me that but choose to spare her soul from one of their lectures(for now).

"You sing wonderfully," Grandma commented from the couch and we all nodded. I smirked.

"Yeah, instead of a radio all we have to do to hear good music is to wait for Kana to take a shower." I joke and Kana turned a brighter shade of red than the cloth for the table. "S-Shut up Felicity!" She snapped and although I don't like it when people use my full name(which is why everyone but my family calls me Lexie) with Kana saying it, it made me want to dance around and butterflies fluttered within me.

I ended the call after teasing her about her performance back at the cafe and I sighed.

"You like her don't you," Dad said casually and I blushed red hot. "What? N-No!" He raised a brow at me and I looked at my hands. "Maybe, I mean I uh..." I didn't know what to say. Mum smiled at me. "You can tell us, Felicity." I sighed and nodded. But I couldn't still be crushing! I mean I thought I had finished falling when I kissed her. Stupid Corduroy Charm!

I bet she doesn't even notice when she does it. She always looks at everyone with that cocky grin when she completes something before us or does it better than we do. It makes all of us(well just me and the boys) feel blessed to see that smirk.

Sometimes when she goes around the barn when she's done with training and Ms. Corduroy just tells her to help out others we all wait for her to come to us even if we don't need help, we mess up on purpose just to get her attention and she just comes over without complaint.

She will come up to us and show us herself how to do it and she does it every time with so much grace and perfection it makes us all feel like clumsy blind mice compared to her. Or when we do some really long distance running(with Ash, Mel, and I keeping a close eye on Kana just in case) and then get back to change, we wait for the slow runners and Kana runs to Ash and Mel who are always behind us and then jogs with them to the finish and then pushes her hair back mopping the sweat off her brow with the back of her hand then letting her hair drop back.

Or when we're in the library and someone drops something like a pen or pencil nearby, Kana is out of her seat in an instant. No matter who it is she picks it up with no nasty remarks attached.

I sighed sat deep on the couch. I wanted it to swallow me whole and take me away. She has a boyfriend now. I looked around the safe house's living room. It was plain and not really home. I haven't gone home in a long time but I don't complain. A single holiday with some of my family was better than just hanging out with Birdwatchers and Babysitters(spy slang) all day.

I sighed and flopped on the floor. The soft carpet was so warm and comfortable that I just sank in. I waited and waited for Ash but she wouldn't come out. Then again she did just start her shower. I sighed and I felt the strong arms of sleep drag me away.
