** I'm adding the Crane sisters to this story. The order of birth right to
inheritance is: Ethan Martin (Crane at the moment), Nicholas Foxworth
(Crane, a.k.a Fox), Allison Katherine (Crane), Madison Elizabeth (Crane)
and Lauren Michelle (Crane).
Chapter 2: The Cranes
"Give me the ball Ethan!" screamed Fox. "No! It's mine!" Ethan shouted back. Fox smacked him across the head with a stick. Ethan tackled Fox and they began to wrestle. "Hey you guys!" They both stopped wrestling and looked up. Fox said, "Oh hey Antonio!" Theresa poked her head from behind Antonio and both brothers hopped up and dusted themselves off. Fox smiled at her and said, "Hi." Theresa giggled. Ethan pushed him over and said "Hi" and Theresa coughed. She looked at Fox and said, "I'm Theresa, it's nice to meet you, Fox. My brother has told me about you guys." She helped him up. Just then three girls came out from the house. "Hey Theresa, these are my sisters," Fox introduced, "Allison, Madison, and Lauren." Theresa started to say hi but the girls were so conceded that they just smiled and walked away. Ethan felt something hit the back of his head; it was Antonio who had thrown the ball at him. Fox grabbed it and threw it back at Ethan. Ethan began to cry. Theresa screamed, "Stop it, you guys are hurting him!" She went to Ethan and rubbed the back of his head. "Come on, let's go inside and get you some ice." Ethan obliged and they went inside. "Wow, Antonio, she's a cutie!" said Fox. "Hey, hey, watch it. She is my sister!" They laughed. They started to through the football around again, but Fox couldn't get Theresa off his mind. That night after Theresa talked to Antonio about their day he went to sit with Luis to watch tv. "Luis, we need to talk." Said Antonio. "Careful man you sound like a girl saying that." replied Luis. Antonio looked at him and left the room. He went to his bedroom and decided it was now or never. He wrote Luis and the family a note that he was leaving. He packed his bags and waited until about 4 am, then left. Luis woke up about 6 am and didn't see Antonio in his bed, but a letter folded up. He got up to read it. He fell to the ground, "Mama, Antonio and papa may have left us, but I won't." He showed the letter to his mother and things carried on as usual. He knew that she was hurting and that he was now the man of the house. He had to go and get a job and fast. ** Back to the Cranes**
Fox tip-toped across the hall into Ethan's room. It was early and he knew Ethan wasn't up yet. Fox dragged a box of plastic bags, water balloons, silly string and other things into Ethan's room and set up traps. Then he went downstairs casually and heard a knock at the front door.
"Oh hey Luis."
"Hey Fox, is Ethan up yet?"
"Nah, you know him. What do you need? Can I help?"
"I guess, I wanted to ask him about that police force thing he read in the paper the other day."
"Oh yea, that. Are you thinking about joining the force?"
"Yea, Antonio left so I need a job that I would like because I have a feeling I'll be working for quite some time."
They both laughed and then they heard someone scream from upstairs. "Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Somebody help me!"
Ivy came running through the living room (let's pretend the whole wheelchair thing didn't happen) and ran up the stairs straight to Ethan's room. "Oh my baby! Fox! Get up here!" Ivy screamed. ** Downstairs **
"Uh-oh Luis you better get going."
"Yea.I think so too. I'll see you later and um. good luck." Fox let Luis out and went upstairs to get yelled at. ** Lopez-Fitzgerald House ** "Whitney you don't understand!" "Theresa, yes I do. You like this Crane kid. I got it." Theresa was pacing around the room in a frenzy trying to make Whitney understand that she really liked this "Crane kid", but realized how cocky his family was. "I just don't see why you don't want to go to the Crane estate if you like him so much." Said Whitney. "Because, Whit, I might see him and get all girly around him and he don't seem to like that." "Whatever you say Theresa, I'll see you later k? "K bye Whit." ** Estate **
Fox was playing football with himself when the ball rolled down a hill and he had to go get it. He walked down the hill and totally fell down and rolled to the bottom and landed flat on his face. He looked up and saw these girly legs and a dress and he kept looking up until he recognized it was Theresa.
"Oh! Hi Theresa!"
"Hey Fox, looking for this?" She waved the football in front of his face.
"Um, yea thanks." He took the ball from her and they started to talk. "So.what are you doing down here by the lake?" "Just waiting to see the sunset. You?" "My football.well Ethan's football rolled down here and I figured I better go and get it and fell flat on my face and .well.found an angel."
Theresa smiled at him. She moved in close to him and said, "An angel huh? Yea, what else is new?" She laughed.
"Fox, can I tell you a secret?"
"Yeah I guess so."
She moved in to whisper in his ear and she kissed his cheek instead.
"K, that's all I have to say! I'll see you later Fox, bye!" Fox was stunned. Fox was happy. He didn't know what to think. That was his first kiss and he was guessing it was her first also. Fox knew he was in love, but he had to leave tomorrow for boarding school with his sisters.
