The back door to the Toretto house swung open. Vince and Joey entered. Dom was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee and reading the sports section of the LA Sun Times. Lily was sitting across from him eating a bowl of Cap'n Crunch.

"Morning" Dom greeted the two.

"What's up brother?" Vince asked heading straight for the coffeepot.

"Morning" Joey greeted Dom and Lily.

He sat down at the table. Vince followed him and began putting cream and sugar in the cup.

"Hi Joey" Lily said. She was concentrating on the maze at the back of the box. "Can you help me? I can't find my way out."

Joey smiled. This kid was absolutely adorable. "Sure."

"Where's Harley?" Vince asked glancing at his watch.

"She wouldn't get up so Letty went up there."

Vince laughed. Somebody stomped down the stairs. "God mother I am up" someone said. Harley walked into the kitchen and put her rucksack into a chair. She looked at Vince and Joey. "Are you two ready to go?"

Dom looked at her over his newspaper. "Good morning harley. How are you? I'm fine thanks for asking" he said sarcastically.

Harley rolled her eyes and looked at her father. "Morning Dad."

He smirked.

"Morning Harley" a little voice said. She looked down. Lily was giving her a big smile.

"Hi sugar. Did you find your way out of the maze?"

Lily shook her head. "Nope, not yet but Joey's helping me."

Harley smiled at Joey who gave her a look of amusement in return.

"Har are you ready to go?" Vince asked draining the last of his coffee.

"Yup." She pulled her bag off the chair. "Bye papi." She ruffled Lily's hair. "Have a good day at school."

"Bye Harley" Lily said absently. She was still trying to find her way out of the maze.

Harley called bye to Letty as Vince and Joey went to the car. As she was on her way out the door Dom called her back.

"Yeah?"

"Come 'ere." He pulled her into a big bear hug. "Have a good day at school baby."

"See ya later Dad."

The journey to school was mostly void off conversation. The stereo was blaring the acid rock Vince was so into these days. He dropped them at school and told them he'd she them later at the garage, before driving away in a peel of smoke.

Joey turned to Harley with a smile on his face once he saw Vince's car disappear. "So what do you feel like doing today?"

She returned the smile. "I don't know."

"Venice Beach?"

"Venice Beach" she concurred.

A/N: Okay I know this chapter is really short and I know I said I would update sooner but I was busy last week. I have just two more questions about American schools: What time does school usually start at? And when do you take your SATs?
