(Ok well here it is the big dinner. What's going to happen? Will Robbie tell the Camden's why it's was impossible that his cousin Riles could be there?)

"Hey we're back!" Robbie yelled from downstairs.

"Come on Sam, David." I walked out of their room with them following.

I walked downstairs to find Riles, 3 boys, and her parents. "Mom, Dad this is Simon. Simon these are my parents."

"Hi nice to meet you. This is Sam and David." I pointed to the twins.

"Nice to meet you to dear and thank you for my daughter today it was really hard for us to move."

"No problem." My mom walked out of the kitchen.

"Hi I'm Annie. I just have to get my other children." My mom went upstairs.

"Well we can go into the dinning room and wait for my sisters and my parents." I lead the way.

"O, by the way Simon these are my brothers Leo, Ryan, and Nick."

"Hi." I said as we sat down at the table.

"Nice place you have here." Riles mom smiled.

"Thank you."

"Here you are I wondering where you went." My mom walked into the dinning room. "As I said I'm Annie these are my daughters Ruthie, Mary, and Lucy. My husband will be down in a moment."

"My name is Joyce and these are my boys Leo, Ryan, and Nick."

"My name is Connor." Riles dad shook my mom's hand.

"It's really nice of you to have us over." Joyce smiled.

"Well I wanted to meet some of Robbie's family."

"Sorry I was just finishing a paper." My dad walked in. "Hi I'm Eric."

"Eric this is Connor and Joyce their Robbie's aunt and uncle."

"Nice to meet you. Robbie is great boy."

"You too. Well we're glad to hear that."

"Well I have idea why don't you all get acquainted while I get the food." My mom went back to the kitchen.

"Ok well I guess I'll introduce my family." My dad stood behind me. " I think you all know Simon." He moved to Ruthie who was sitting next to me. "This is Ruthie, Mary, and Lucy. Over there at that table we have Sam and David. Matt and his wife Sarah live in New York and Lucy's fiance' lives with us but he is at work."

"Ok we have Riles, Ryan, Leo, and Nick." Connor smiled.

"Nice to meet you all." My dad sat down.

"What do you do for a living?" Connor asked my dad.

"I'm a minister. What do you do?"

The parents started to talk. I looked across the table at Riles who smiled. "Thanks Simon."

"No problem. Your family seems cool."

"Yours does too."

"Why is Ryan staring at me?" Ruthie asked.

I looked at Ryan who was indeed staring at Ruthie. "I don't know Ruth."

I saw Mary and Lucy of course talking to Leo and Nick. Nick was probably Mary's age and Leo looked about Lucy's.

"Ok here we are." My mom brought in the food.

We said grace and began to eat. "So Annie do you work?"

"No I don't. Do you work Joyce?"

"No I want to be there for my kids."

"Robbie you never did tell us why it was impossible for Riles to be here?" Ruthie looked up.

The Halls all looked at each other. Riles gulped. "Excuse me."

"Well I over heard Simon telling Robbie you were here and he told Simon that was impossible."

"Well maybe he thought it was impossible because he thought I still lived in Germany."

"No offense but I can tell when someone is lying and your lying."

"Ruthie!" My mom looked at her.

"What I'm just telling the truth."

"Ruthie don't push it." I said through gritted teeth.

"Fine but Robbie what did you mean?"

"I thought she was still in Germany." Robbie answered plainly without looking up.

"Ruthie we will talk about this later." My mom turned back to talking to Joyce.

"I'm sorry about that. Sometimes she just can't control herself." My dad said.

"Riles why didn't you tell the truth?" Ryan asked. Riles turned and glared at him.

"I did Ryan." She said with a little anger.

Ryan went back to eating. I looked at Riles who just played with her food. There was something she wasn't telling me and I'm going to find out what.

"So Riles how do yo like Glenoak?" Mary asked.

"It's cool. It's nice and quiet."

"Nice and quiet?"

"Well it isn't like Germany speedy cars, noisy streets."

"She's right it's a lot more peaceful then Germany." Nick smiled at Mary.

As we finished dinner the adults went into the living room to talk. While Lucy, Leo, Nick, Mary, Ryan, and Ruthie went outside. Riles and I took Sam and David back up to their room to play.

"I know you probably will hate me but I think you were lying to." I looked up at Riles who was playing with Sam.

Her head shot up and looked at me. "I don't hate you but that's only because I was lying."

"Then what did Robbie really mean?"

"Robbie thought I was dead."

"What?"

"Well see a car hit me and put into a coma so Robbie thought I was dead because he never heard about my recovery."

"O, well then why didn't you just tell us that?"

"I didn't want to frighten your sisters."

Some reason I still felt like she was lying. "Can I ask you something?"

"Um... you just did." She smiled. "Just kidding. Shoot."

"Have you ever made a list of your dreams?" She asked.

"No not really."
"O, ok."

"Why?"

"Well because I did."

"What are they?"
"Hm... Let's see #5 is to be in 2 places at once and some other things."

"That sounds like an interesting dream."

"Well life is short and I found that out from experience."

"What's another one?"
"To get a tattoo is #6, to see a meteor shower is #3, and to change somebody is #2."

"What's #1?"

"If I told you that I would have to kill you."

"Ok that doesn't sound fun." I laughed.

"Simon will you do me a favor?"

"Sure anything."
"Don't fall in love with me."

I raised my eyebrow at her. "Why would you think I would?"

"I'm not saying you will but just don't." She stood up and went downstairs.

I sat their still stricken. Why would she ask such a thing? Was I that obvious that I liked her? I was to confused I thought things were going great and then she pushes me away.

"Hey Simon I see you and Riles have separated for a while." Robbie smiled.

"Yeah uh huh." I nodded not really paying attention.

"Is everything all right?"

"Yeah." I stood up. "Could you watch the twins for a second?"
"Sure." I walked downstairs and outside to find Riles on the front porch.

"You think I'm crazy don't you?" She turned and looked at me.

"No actually I'm a little confused."

"I'm sorry Simon I just babble sometimes you can forget what I said."

"All right." I wasn't going to forget it stuck in my head. 'Don't fall in love with me.' I still just couldn't believe that came out of her mouth.

(So what's Riles hiding from Simon? I know probably not the most interesting thing in the world. Just please review.)
