"Then we need to find her prescription and get her new ones "Artie said
"Um , ok Artie we can just take her to the doctor and find out then "Leena Whispered to Artie following the young girl
"No she doesn't like doctors , and there for would be terrified , we just have to ask her and i can have Venessa write a prescription for her , and then go to town tomorrow and get them "Artie Whispered back "Um hey Claudia , what was your Prescription again? "Artie asked as conspicuously as possible
"Why do you need to know , i can see just fine "Claudia Said as she walked into the living room seeing Pete watching Tv , Helena watching a chess game between Myka and Steve . "Steve ?"Artie Asked from across the room
"Yea s-s-she's l-l-lying "He said going back to playing Chess with Myka
"See you cannot see , i will take you to the doctor tomorrow and get it then "Artie said knowing she would back down
"NO , thats ok , i think my prescription is 17/18 , so you don't have to take me to the doctors "Claudia said quickly
"Oh ok i will tell Venessa and she will get the prescription for you to get tomorrow "Leena said going to the kitchen
"Oh that reminds me, Artie i was wondering if I could take Claudia to the hardware store tomorrow , she wanted to get a couple things "Helena said glancing at Claudia who in turn smiled at her
"Yea sure you guys can come with me , know what why don't we all go tomorrow and you two and go there by yourselves "Artie said Distracted by something , when a loud buzzing sound echoed through the living room "Oh i will be right back "Artie said taking a tin thing out of his pocket and going to the living room
"What was that? "Claudia asked
"That was something we are not allowed to talk about to anyone "Pete said
"Yea and if anyone askes Artie works at the IRS and Leena is apprenticing there "Helena informed the girl
just as Leena came out of the Kitchen "Alright guys dinner then showers and bed "She told them
"Whats for dinner?" Pete asked
"Pete your always hungry "Myka said
"Well yea I am a growing boy "Pete said
"At l-l-least you d-d-don't have to share a r-r-room with him M-m-myka "Steve stuttered
"Remember what we talked about Steve . you have to picture the word in your head then say it "Leena said holding the dinning room door open as the kids walked in "and Myka, Helena no more tinkering and reading at the table "She said laughing
"Come on Claud you can sit between Steve and Me i wanna talk to you this time" Pete said going back and gently grabbing Claudia's hand and pulling her toward the table
"Alright children , how were your days? "Artie asked as he sat down
"Well today i passed my math test "Myka said proudly looking at Claudia
"I have a date for next Friday "Pete said excitedly "I asked out Kelly and she didn't say no this time "
"I-i got a B in gym "Steve said "I couldn't climb the r-rope fast enough "
"I managed to stop all of them getting bullied today "Helena said
"Wait , i wasn't going to get bullied today , i would've seen them coming "Pete said
"No you didn't because i stopped them before you could see "She said triumphantly
"I was moved into a new house today" Claudia said quietly
"Ok but Claud you have to say something we didn't already know "Leena said from across the table
"Oh , well then , i went to the Hardware store today , it was really cool , they had all kinds of wiring and brackets i could build stuff with "She said excitedly
"Oh yea? i bet you aren't smarter than Helena , she made a grappler gun "Myka said from beside Helena
"Well she might be , she could name all the wires and kept saying this code under her breath that i couldn't understand even if i tried "Helena informed the girl while smiling at Claudia "Well its a simple code once you know it my brother used to say it under his breath while he worked "Claudia said eating her food
"Oh yea? well i bet Helena is even smarter than your brother "Myka said
"Myka thats enough , you should be kinder to her , ok? "Artie said as calmly as he could
"Why should i be nice to her? , you're always yelling at me for everything i do "Myka said "I'll be in my room if you need me "she said getting up and leaving
"That girl i swear she will be the death of me , i'm sorry Claudia..."Artie said as he turned the young girl was gone
"Where did she go this time? "He said exasperated
"I believe Claudia has gone upstairs to apologize , but we must leave them alone "Leena said
Upstairs
Myka was on her bed when she heard a knock on her door
"Go away Leena i don't want to talk to you right now "Myka said when heard the door open and close "Leena i said i didn't want to talk" she said angrily turning around to yell at Leena only to see it wasn't her it was Claudia "Oh , what do you want?" She spat
"I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry " Claudia quietly
"Why are you sorry , you didn't do anything " Myka said getting up and walking over to her
"I'm sorry that you have to share a room with someone else , that im even here in the first place , i just want to get my brother back and once i do , we can live together and have fun like we used to "Claudia said with tears gathering in her eyes , it was then that Myka saw that the girl in front of her has been through a lot even for a 10 year old
"What happened to your brother? if your ok with me asking "Myka said quickly
"He got lost in an experiment 3 years ago , i know he's alive and i even have his book about Rheticus and im going to see if i can bring him back "Claudia said "But for now , we have to go back down stairs before Leena hands out cookies " She said opening the door hoping Myka would follow "Yea sure lets go before Pete eats them all" Myka joked as they went back down the stairs
