David sighed as he walked into his room.His run-in with Misty hadn't gone exactly as he had hoped.He sat down at his desk as he drained out the music coming out of Skittery's boombox.
He opened up his journal to the back to get his letter.To his suprise,there was something...different about it.He gasped and quickly turned around to face the Duchy,who was lying down on his bed,singing to the music.
"What the hell did you you think you were doing?!"David yelled as he stood up from his seat and stomped over to his roommate's bedside.Duchy looked up and made a puppy-eyed face."I don't know what you're talking about."
David held up the envelope up above his head and yelled,"You!You read my letter!"Duchy grinned and sat up.He yawned and looked away."You have no proof!"David turned the envelope around and pointed at the dirty finger prints.
"Ha!Your prints say it all!"Duchy laughed and stood up turn the music off."How do you know that those are mine?They could be Itey's,Skittery's,or even Bumlet's.Why do you all of a sudden suspct that it was me?"
Skittery looked up from his homework and grinned."Don't bring me us into this.We weren't here,remember?We were...out..."Duchy stuck his tounge out and sat back down.Itey and Bumlets walked into the room and sat down to watch David and Duchy start yelling,again.
"You have no right to go and read my personal property!"Duchy laid back down on his bed and said,"I went to go get my history book and I just happened to come across your journal.That envelope was pretty interesting,though."
"Sweet.What it say?"Skittery said,putting his pencil and paper down.Itey picked up his video camera and started taping."This should be interesting..."Bumlets grinned and said,"What are doing?Getting evidence for murder against David?"Itey smiled and shook his head."Nope.I'm Getting an A on my school project.I call it,'Duch vs Wuss'."
The three boys laughed as Duchy and David went at it,again.After the first punch was thrown,the door swung open,leaving them all speachless."M-Mrs.Kloppman?"David said as he fell to the floor.The skinny lady looked down at him and crossed her arms.
"What do you boys think you're doing?I can hear you from all the way downstairs!"David stood up and looked around the lady at the group of hudled girls.To his suprise,Misty was there!David tried to keep concentrated on what the principal was saying,but he couldn't.Misty was destracting him too much.
He tried to turn his head away,but once again,he couldn't.Everyone around him started to blur out,the only thing remaining was Misty.He couldn't hear,couldn't see,couldn't do anything.Everything seemed to vanish into thin air.He felt himself begin slip as he noticed that he was getting closer,and closer to her.
He was awoken from his gaze when he felt a hand on his shoulder."What do you think you're doing?"Mrs.Kloppman said to him.He shook his head and looked back.He sighed when he saw that she was no longer there."Nothing..."Mrs.Kloppman frowned and took him by the ear."You're comming with me,young man."And with that said,she pulled him away to her office by the ear.
~With Misty~
Misty couldn't help but laugh when she saw David being dragged down the hallway.She had gotten way too weirded out when she saw the way that he was looking at her,so she had decided to leave.
She had to admitt,he looked pretty scary when he was looking at her.Almost as if she were the only one there.Like when they were alone...
~A Few Hours Later~
The rest of the day went by pretty uneventfull for Duchy.But there was still one thing on his mind.He had to know more about Lisa and her family...his family.Did they even care about him when he left all those years ago?How long did they wait until they gave up looking for him?Did they know who he was?
He had to find out before his head blew up with questions.He decided to get up and confront his parents before they left.It was Christmas Eve and they would be leaving in two days.Tomorrow there would be no way for him to even get down to their room with all the other parents and kids in the hallway.
He slowly walked down the noisy,very decroative hallway and thought hard about what he was going to say.As he came to the room,he stopped and thought of weather or not this was a good idea.He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.Lisa answered the door,much to his dismay."A-Are your parents here?"
Lisa slowly nodded her head and said,"Mom!Dad!Someone's here to see you!"Duchy sighed and waited for them to come out."Uh...thanks..."Lisa smiled as her parents walked out of the room and gretted him."M-May I talk to yuo two...alone?"Lisa frowned and closed the door,giving them all the privecy they needed."I'm sorry if I'm ruining your holiday time,but I need to ask you something."
Mr. and Mrs. Holfield seemed really pleased to hear that someone younger then them was coming to them for help.But their faces suddenly became seldom when they saw that he looked really scared and confused."I need to know...did you used to...you know...have another child?"Mr.Holfield was taken aback,but he quickly recovered."Well,we do have two other daughters,but one's away in Alaska and the other is in collage."
Duchy shook his head and said,"No.I mean,did you two used to have...a son?"Mrs.Holfield seemed as if she were going to be in tears.Duchy looked Mr.Holfield in the eye with great seriousness."I need to know..."Mr.Holfield looked over at his wife before sighing and giving him a slight nod.
"Yes.But he disappeared a long time ago..."Duchy didn't know what to say.He now knew for sure that these people were his old family,but what was he going to do now?Would he let himself become one of them,again just to be ignored and have to run away,again?Or would he act calm and stay here with his friends and Accent?Mr.Holfield gasp and brought is head closer to Duchy's.
"You do look a lot like him..."Duchy took the man's hand before he could touch him and stared him in the eye once more.Mrs.Holfield gasped,too and went to hug him."It is you!Isn't it?"Duchy thought about what he should answer.There was actually no choice.He had practically just told them that he was their son.So he decided to give it a shot.He slowly nodded as both his parents squeezed him to death.
His mother looked at his face and began to cry as she caressed his face with her hand."Oh,I can't believe it's really you,Daniel."

Sorry for the late update.I've been REALLY sick lately,so I haven't been able to type much.Hopefully you all will forgive me.
Oh,and for those of you who were reading "And Where is This?" you should know that fanfiction.net deleted it saying that it was breaking this big rule...or something along those lines...I don't even know exactly what I did!Well,sorry but I can't put it back up,either.=(
