This is my first try at fan fiction. I'm really sure if my story is any good, but it was worth a try. So if you could tell me what you think I would really appreciate it.

"Natalie, we're here." James Gershnick he wakes up his 16-year-old niece. Natalie lifted her head off the seat she had fallen asleep a few hours ago. She looked around, everything she saw was new this place was going to be her home now. No longer would she wake up to Violet jumping down the stairs, or Lavender and Rose-Marie screaming about this stained shirt or stolen bracelet. She loved her family, her uncle, aunt, and three cousins, but she had made some bad choices.

"Come on Nat, they're waiting for us." Natalie opened the car door.



"Hello, I'm Peter and this is Sophie. Why don't we go inside and start the paper work? Natalie you can go with Sophie so, she can check your bags."

"Ha." Natalie was way ahead of them. She had been to several camps, to try to help her work out her "issues", the last one Camp Hope. It was a Christian camp for troubled and at risk youth. Oh, this should be good, at Camp Hope they had found some painkillers. She didn't hide them very well, but other than that she hadn't been caught in two years. She knew where you could hide anything. Sophie checked everything, she came up with nothing then she checked the clothes Natalie had on. Everything about Natalie was glittery including her trunk and suitcase.

"Were done here, why don't we go see how your uncle and Peter a coming along." Sophie said cheerfully. Natalie didn't answer, but she followed Sophie into Peter's office. Everything was set, so James gave Natalie one last hug.

"I love you. We'll call you soon. I'm sure Violet will be trying to even before I get home."

"I love you too." James gave Natalie one last kiss. He hoped this would be the last time he would have to do this."

"Natalie, we need go over the rules." Once again Natalie said nothing but she followed.

"Blah, blah, blah, womp, womp, womp. …Cliffhangers… Juliette will show you around. Any questions?"

"Nope" Natalie said and she hopped off the chair to meet Juliette.



"I didn't really have a chance to look at all of Natalie's records." Peter said as he scanned the packet of papers. "Her uncle did mention that she is very shy"

"I noticed" Sophie responded looking over Peter's shoulder at the papers as well.

"Natalie was born in Russia. Her mother and father are both deceased. Natalie's uncle brought her to the United States when she was five. But al this can wait because it's time for group."

Peter and Sophie walked to the den where the cliffhangers were waiting. They were all talking and sitting together, except for Natalie. She was looking around, trying to observe what was going on.

"Have you all introduced yourselves to Natalie?"

"Yes, master." Shelby responded in a spaced out tone.

Everyone laughed, even Natalie smiled a little.

"All right, tonight we are share one thing we enjoy doing. It can be anything."

Everyone took their turns some answers were sarcastic, others were more serious. Natalie went last.

"I like to skate." Her voice was almost a whisper.

"Lights out in ten minutes. And remember that tomorrow we meet bright and early for the hike. Juliette can you help Natalie pack?" Peter asked.

"Yep, sure thing."

Back in the girl's dorm, Juliette was telling Natalie what she should bring.

"I think group hikes are just super." Shelby said trying to imitate Jules.

"You are sooooo not funny." Daisy said as she threw a pillow a Shelby. It missed and hit Natalie in the face. Natalie threw at Juliette. And soon pillows were flying everywhere. The girls' shrieks could be herd outside, where Sophie was walking from dorm to dorm doing bed checks.

"What is going on in here?" Sophie demanded running throw the door.

"Nothing, we were just fluffing our pillows and the pillows went nuts." Shelby answered.

"Yeah, they were everywhere we were just trying to get them under control." Daisy added.

"Is this true?" Sophie looked toward Juliette and Natalie.

"Yeah" Juliette answered.

Natalie just nodded her head. When Sophie left the girls fell on the floor laughing. Outside Sophie met up with Peter.

"What was going on in there?" he asked.

"Apparently the pillows went out of control and the girls were just trying to restrain them."

"Oh, that was all."

Peter grabbed Sophie's hand, and the two walked off in to the moonlight.
