A/n: Sorry for taking so long! I had all this stuff to do for school-country projects, term papers-testing! This world just won't let me have any free time! But here it is! The next chapter; dedicated to troubletwinintx and all the nice people who support this story; it would not be here without you. Oh yeah! Dearborn is the actual street his lives on on the show-it was mentioned in the episode where Dr. Brown gets those plane tickets and the priest and his wife break up. Yeah-that oneJ The italic thoughts are Ephram's; be forewarned I'm not a fan of Amy.

Lena walked outside and smelled the fresh air. Her first day at County High hadn't gone exactly as she had wanted it to. She spotted Ephram over by the bike rack. "Hey Ephram." She said casually, pulling out her skateboard. He looked up. "Hey; which way are you going home?" "Off main; down Dearborn on to Winter." She told him. "I'll walk with you; I'm on Dearborn." Ephram told her.
"So what do you do here for fun?" Lena asked Ephram as they sped down the road; Ephram on his bike and Lena on her skateboard. "You can get horrendously drunk and pee on a tree; but mostly not much." Lena looked at Ephram with a smug look on her face. "There are not bookstores? Bowling Lanes? Ice Arenas? Movie theaters?" "Boring ones, no, no, and they're all currently playing Finding Nemo; whatever the heck that is." Ephram told her. Lena groaned. "Drunkenness is sounding fun right now." Ephram looked at her and smirked.
"Delia! I'm home!" Ephram yelled as he opened the door. Lena followed him in and her lead her to the kitchen for a drink. "And I brought a friend-HOLY CRAP!" Ephram looked around his kitchen-was it the kitchen. Little Delia stood in the middle covered head to toe in flour. She was nothing compared to the rest of the kitchen. "I tried to make cookies." She said simply. "Who are you?" she asked Lena. Lena smiled and held her hand out. "I'm Lena." Delia shook it. "You have very pretty hair." "Thanks-now lets get this kitchen cleaned." Lena said; walking over to the sink.
After they had spent an hour cleaning the kitchen; Lena and Delia decided to try making cookies one more time. "What shape should we make them?" Lena asked Delia. "Hearts for Valentines Day." Delia said without hesitation. (A/n: I'm going to base this story around early months-right now it's February) Hearing his little sister say that his thoughts drifted from the manga he was reading to Amy. She'll probably be enjoying the holiday with Colin and rubbing my nose in it. 'Oh Ephram-it was sooo perfect. But you'll never know and I don't want you being friends with Colin. I'm an evil enchantress/ bitch and that whole reason I exist is to make your life miserable. Bloody Mu-ha-ha!' Geez-do I ever get a break?! "Darn!" Delia said-picking up the cookie. It had broken right down the middle. "Lena, how do you fix a broken heart?" Delia asked her. "Well, you can mend it with frosting," Lena started "Or you can make a new one!" Lena said smiling and handing a lump of dough to Delia. If only it was that easy.
