PART TWO

"Uggg." Was the only sound she could manage from cracked and bleeding lips. Another wave lapped over her and this time she couldn't keep her face from the water as she started to choke. Struggling with her arms she managed to kick and pull her way further onto the beach out of the reach of the tugging waves. The salt coppery taste of blood was making her sick, that or the gallons of sea water resting in her stomach. Either way she managed to roll on her side as all of it came back up.

"Uggg." She tried again unable to vocalize anything. Why did her arm feel so funny, what on earth was she doing in the sea, hadn't she been.... where had she been? It was odd trying to fight with her body and her mind when all she wanted to do was sleep. Somehow common sense kept her from falling asleep so instead she reached a sore and battered hand up to peal off the salt that was gluing her eyes shut.

"ARGGG" She was blind! Or so she first thought when she opened her eyes. It was pitch black outside and once she looked up at the sky she realized that it was only darkness that kept her from seeing. The stars where still glittering above although there was no moon. That would make it difficult to see on any day. She had to get up, find help but where was she? Only one way to find out and that was going to be difficult.

Later she found it odd that being so injured didn't bother her more. With three broken ribs a broken arm and many lacerations all over her body she should have been frantic and unable to move. Yet somehow she made it to the island's cottage hospital dehydrated as all hell and unable to speak. Her clothes were ripped to shreds and she had no identifying anything and most important of all, she had no clue who she was.

"Miss," The nurse applied a little more Vaseline to her lips to keep them from cracking. "Miss, can you tell me your name?" It was the first time their strange patient looked completely conscious not in delirium as she had the last week mumbling about strange lights in the dark. The girl looked at the nurse testing her lips to see how bad they hurt when she moved them.

"Excuse me?" She managed softly. Her throat was still raw despite the humidifier in the room to make it better. The nurse repeated her question. Immediately she started to blurt out, "Seren...." But she couldn't remember the rest of it. She looked up at the nurse lost. "Seren something, but I don't know the rest. I don't remember anything!" She looked panicked. The nurse put a calming hand on her arm without a cast.

"Don't worry. It may come to you. Just try to think about it, try to remember for me okay? I have to go get your new roommate." The nurse told her. The patient looked up not sure she liked the idea of a roommate. She's just barely woken up, she didn't know who she was and the last thing she wanted to face was someone's babbling questions. She didn't have a choice though for she was as of now a ward of the state, whatever the state may be. She'd have to remember to ask about that.

The nurse left her patient to her thoughts as she went down to the recovery room. The new patient was just about the other's age and a bright cheery girl she knew well. Just the thing a sad young woman needed. She whistled cheerfully and she pushed the wheelchair back to the room where the platinum headed girl was looking at the ceiling puzzlement written all over her face. The young girl looked up at the nurse who nodded.

"Well Miss, this is your new roommate, Amanda Donnelley. Amanda this is the young woman who was found a week ago." Nurse Joy introduced them all happily. The girls seem to look each other over carefully not saying anything for a moment. Then the patient realized she was being rude.

"It's nice to meet you Amanda." She said softly, a hand going out for the Vaseline bottle. Her lips were hurting again and there seemed to be some sort of numbing agent in the stuff. Amanda nodded and smiled before Nurse Joy hoisted her onto the second bed of the room and fixed her leg in it's cast in some sort of cradle from the ceiling. After testing it's strength she left the two girls to get aquatinted telling them she'd be back in an hour for dinner.

"So," Started Amanda curious but not wanting to intrude on the girl. Finally unable to help it she turned on her side a bit fixing the other girl with a glare. "Where ya from?" She asked in such a way that the other girl couldn't help but laugh. It hurt, really hurt, but the laughter was good. After a moment she settled down looking at Amanda who had a grin on her face. Clearly the question had had it's desired effect.

"Honestly I don't know. I just woke up today and realized I have no idea who I am." She told Amanda who's beseeching brown eyes begged for answers. Her soft red hair, cropped close to her head kept falling in her eyes and she would try to blow it away with little success. Still she looked at the other girl.

"No idea at all?" It was the next logical question not that she didn't believe the girl, but she wanted to know.

"Well, I think my name starts with Seren- something, I started to blurt it out when first asked, but I can't remember the rest." She unconsciously bit her bottom lip then winced when it hurt.

"Well I once knew of a girl named Serena, that's kind of close isn't it?" Amanda offered remembering the small girl she'd once met. Something had happened to the girl though she couldn't remember what.

"True, that could be it. Well till I remember, Serena it is. Thank you Amanda!" Serena grinned as widely as her cracked lips would allow then reached for her water happily finding a straw there. "Could you tell me where I am?" She asked between sips. Amanda nodded.

"Yeah, your in Lihue on the island Kauai in Hawaii. One of the lesser known islands of that state. Pretty much dullsville if you're from anywhere else." Amanda told her meaning that she wasn't a native of the island. Serena couldn't have told the difference anyhow but it was something she could talk about.

"Really, where are you from then?" She asked putting her drink down. Something was pulling her hair on the top of her head but she wanted to know more than she was worried about it. Idly she reached up to feel what was wrong. One or two of her hairs had gotten caught in the bandage over her eyes she tugged them loose before patting the rest of her short hair away from it.

"California. My family commutes quite a bit since our summer home is here, not that there ever really is a winter in either places, it just rains here mostly in the winter." Amanda fiddled with her own short red hair. She twisted in place trying to get comfortable with the cast.

"What season is it now?" Serena asked unsure of even that. It seemed quite hot and even with the air conditioner going full blast it was still over eighty degrees. She wished she knew what was going on or that she'd gotten a chance to ask these questions before so she didn't sound so dumb. Apparently Amanda didn't find this dumb at all and took the questions in stride offering as much information as she felt a girl with no memory should have.

"End of summer, August. Most places school has started already but mine doesn't start for two more weeks. My brothers and i go to a private school in California cause our parents don't want us in with a bad crowd. Hehe wouldn't they like to know what we do with our spare time." This puzzled Serena but Amanda didn't talk more about her spare time. Instead she went on about the island talking about the layout how the got between islands on the ferry then flew on a charter plane from the islands to the main continent. Serena was amazed.

"Doesn't that cost a fortune?" She asked then squeaked cover her mouth with her free hand. Amanda looked at her then laughed long and hard. "Sorry, that was really rude." Serena said apologizing.

"No no, it's fine. Everyone asks us that. My parents mostly live here, but they own a large chain of Spas and businesses in both places. They're multi-millionaires. They leave my brothers and I with a small army of attendants and supervisors and pretty much ignore us all, it's great!" She said fanning herself with a magazine. Serena and Amanda were both amazed how fast the girls seemed to have become friends but Serena realized something that put a major hold on her good mood.

"Wait, so you'll be leaving in a couple of weeks, I'll never see you again." She said tears filling her eyes rapidly. Amanda looked alarmed at the idea having not thought of it. She saw Serena's tears and rapidly thought for a moment.

"Maybe, but like I said my parents have a lot of influence. Maybe, and don't write this off as done, but just maybe they would be willing to take you as a foster child. The state's always trying to get them to do things like that and this would be perfect." She seemed to be thinking as she talked and Serena sat up straighter in bed thinking the idea over. Amanda and Nurse Joy where the only people she knew as of now, and she really liked Amanda for all that they had only known each other for an hour. Just then the Nurse returned and Amanda tested her idea on her. The Nurse grinned.

"Yanno, I think that might just work." She said to both of the girl's delight. "The state really has always tried to get them to take foster children and with Amanda's insistence they could be willing to do it, but don't get your hopes up to fast girls. This all has to be cleared through the right channels." Both girls nodded but they exchanged glances and smiles before the nurse left.

The small TV in their room was on and the reporter was standing in front of a picture of a large wreck partially submerged in water. Amanda watched it intently.

"What's that?" Serena asked curious. They flashed a picture of some blond girl with an odd hairdo. Serena looked at the picture, thought the girl was kind of cute but that was it.

"It's been a year since that plane crashed. They're doing a tribute to the only person who died on the flight. Some girl from Japan." Amanda told her in a soft voice. The reporter went on to tell about the amazing circumstances of the flight and it's landing along with showing a picture of the girls family. Serena felt sorry for them and wondered what it would be like to have a family like that. The little boy in the picture was especially sad.

"That's sad." She said. Amanda nodded and flipped the channel to cartoons.

        Later that day Amanda's parents stopped by and Serena was taken aback. They were every inch as rich as Amanda had said and for the first time she wondered if maybe this wasn't such a good idea. She didn't want to take advantage of such a friendship, and to her it seemed like that was exactly what she was doing.

Sarah Donnelley was not quite forty and could have been Serena's mother as she had the same blue eyes and body structure but her hair was the same red as Amanda's instead of Serena's platinum silver. She wore an emerald business suite with a crème blouse underneath that was cut and folded and hand stitched. Rings sparkled from her fingers and all looked expensive but they were tasteful not gaudy.

Her husband a Joseph Donnelley was tall brown headed with blue eyes. He also wore a business suit, his a tasteful gray with a soft gray shirt under it. He wore only his wedding ring but the suit must have cost at least a hundred dollars. They held themselves as royalty, not that Serena had any idea how she knew that but she knew that they did. The seemed a little stern with the daughter but when Serena was mentioned they turned to all smiles.

For such busy people they were quite friendly if not a little stuffy. This was a nobody girl who they had never met but they treated her with courtesy. Serena happily found that she seemed to know exactly what to say to them and how to act in their presence. This surprised them as well. Amanda politely asked them about fostering Serena and though they seemed surprised at the request neither of them were set against it.

"I'm quite sure we will soon be getting a formal request from the state, and if everything seems in order I don't see why not. We'll run a couple checks to make sure no one has reported her missing and if all is well that should be possible." Mr. Donnelley told them trying not to spark their imaginations. "Either way Serena, we'll make sure that you are settled somewhere happily." They were rewarded with a beaming smile from Serena and un-rationally they both felt an extreme need to help this young girl who was lost in the world. Sarah patted her on the shoulder before they left.

"Wow, they're gunna do it!" Amanda exploded a moment after their door shut. She seemed ecstatic. Serena who was feeling a bit tired smiled back.

"How do you know, they said they weren't sure." She wanted to believe but it all seemed to unreal. It must be some sort of fairy tale.

"Oh they always say that knowing that if they excite us to much it wont be good for the healing. It's just the way they acted, I know they'll do it. You'll see." Amanda gave her a thumbs up to which Serena yawned. "Get some sleep girl, you look beat. Hey I forgot to ask. Is that hair color real?" Serena shrugged awkwardly snuggling down in her bed. Amanda grinned and put on a pair of headphones turning up the music. Serena drifted off happily thinking of having a home.

"Amanda!" Voices yelled bringing both girls wide awake an instant before their door crashed open. Three young boys followed by two guys older than Serena and Amanda walked in. The young boys were the ones making all the noise. Serena ran a hand through her hair then looked at Amanda who seemed unruffled. The boys ranging from about ten to thirteen jumped up and down while the older two grabbed chairs and sat at the foot of her bed.

"Toby, Michael calm DOWN!" Amanda ordered. Immediately two of he noisy boys subsided. The last one, climbed on her bed carefully sitting so he didn't disturb her leg. Amanda sent Serena and exasperated look. Serena grinned. One of the two older boys looked at her for a moment before fixing Amanda with a stare.

"I thought you were getting your own room." He said pointedly, but not angrily. The other one glanced at Serena too and she tried not to flush with embarrassment. Amanda tried to save her.

"There wasn't enough room since the hospital was all booked up. Everyone I want you to meet Serena. We may be fostering her for a while." She informed them all. Six pairs of eyes fixed on Serena who squirmed in her bed. Amanda clapped her hands loudly braking the silence and most of the looks. The young boy on her bed continued to stare rudely so Serena stared back. Finally he grinned and looked away.

"Really? Mom and Pops actually said that?" The oldest asked. Serena took notice of them all for the first time. Every one of them had a red tint to their head, only the youngest having the same hair as Amanda. The oldest had reddish blond hair with green eyes. He had a stubborn chin and enough facial hair to form a goatee. The one next to him had reddish brown hair and was clean shaven. He also had green eyes but they were not the sharp emerald of his older brother. More a hazel. The younger ones were facing away from Serena except the one who stared at her again. He had blue eyes and a scar running across his chin. Not to mention a dazzling grin.

"Yup. They said they'd try for sure. She's the Jane Doe they found outside." She told them like it was a proud fact and something she'd found before anyone else. Serena couldn't help but smile. Amanda turned to Serena. "Serena these are my brothers. The oldest is Adam then Alex, then Toby, Michael and last of all Matthew." She patted the boy on the bed who grinned. "Guys this is Serena." They all nodded or said hi.

"Hello." She said her voice timid. One of her lips cracked and Serena was busied with putting Vaseline on them. Quickly they were numb. The oldest, Adam was watching her closely.

"So when do you get outta here Amanda?" Alex asked. Amanda shrugged although she had told Serena that she was supposed to leave today.

"I don't know. I was supposed to leave today, but I'm gunna ask mom if I can stay with Serena till she can go too. Serena has amnesia and I want to help her get to know some stuff before she's on her own." Amanda told them. This was news to Serena but the guys took it as something Amanda would do. Alex grinned first at Amanda then at Serena.

"Well that sounds good to me I guess. We have your car in the shop and it should be fixed by the time we go back. I can't believe that scum crashed into you like that." That must have been why Amanda was in the hospital. She frowned and the boys looked around darkly. "Yeah that creep. We got him though and he'll have to pay for the damages. He wasn't to happy to find out exactly how much it would cost but when he heard who we were he knew he'd have to pay it." Adam said tickling Toby to lighten the mood. He squealed with laughter bringing Nurse Joy into the room. She saw them all and sighed looking at the ceiling.

"What did I do to deserve this?" She asked jokingly putting a grin on all of the Donnelley's faces. "Well boys, it's time for the girls to have breakfast so I must ask you to leave. You can come back at noon if you want." She grabbed the broom in the corner and held it like a hockey stick in case any of them objected. They all seemed to know the joke for they laughed and started to leave. Alex poked his head back in the room once the younger ones where out.

"We'll bring you some clothes Amanda, and Serena we'll ask Mom to stop at a store and get you something. I don't think Amanda's would fit you." This elicited a squeal of outrage from Amanda and the Nurse pretended to whack him over the head. He laughed and disappeared. Serena looked at Amanda confused. She was just as thin as Serena was why wouldn't her clothes fit?

"I'm five feet tall Serena." She said. Sitting down Serena couldn't have seen that but the Nurse had brought in crutches and Amanda was now standing up. Serena could see that she really was that short, at least eight inches shorter than Serena herself who had been measured at five feet eight when she'd come in. She was still young enough to grow even more.

"No I suppose they wouldn't fit both of us would they." She said giggling. Amanda threw her an angry look but it wasn't real and she giggled too. Amanda hobbled over to the bathroom while the nurse brought a new hospital gown for Serena. Amanda came out and Serena went in to take a careful shower and put the new gown on. She stood looking at herself in the mirror for a long time trying to recognize the face staring back at her.

She had large clear blue eyes and a gentle face that graciously recognized as beautiful but she couldn't take pride in it. White silvery hair barely longer than her ears framed her face enhancing her soft pale skin and making her quite attractive. She was decently tall, but not any taller than a guy her age so it wasn't awkward and she was lean, not thin. Even a week in bed couldn't get rid of the muscled tones. Serena saw all these things about herself and knew it felt wrong. She couldn't tell what was wrong or know why it was but it felt that way to her. Shaking her head her neck felt rubbery as though her hair should weigh more.

The nurse was still in the room and so Serena put the question to her. Yes they had cut her hair because it had been tangled into all of her wounds and they hadn't been able to get it clear. Length had been down to her knees and all of it the same silvery color it was now. Serena nodded, that made more sense then it didn't. She thanked the nurse then went and sat on her bed picking at the cast on her arm. It didn't hurt anymore, in fact it itched more than anything. The nurse asked her about it.

"That's odd. Well we'll take you to x-ray later and have it looked at. The doctor on call said that it seemed a lot worse than it really was when you first came in so maybe it's better. Still you should have that cast for at least a month more." Serena frowned.

"I still have about three weeks on mine Serena so don't feel bad." Amanda told her. She was back in bed with the leg up in it's cradle. A magazine was open on her lap and she flipped a page.

"Shouldn't a broken leg take longer than that?" Serena asked picking up one of the magazine's that were on her night table. Amanda smiled. Waving away the question.

"Yeah. I broke it about a couple months ago. I'm in here for a car accident I was in." That explained the car stuff earlier. "Some guy t-boned my car when he was running a red. I got a couple of bruised ribs and it knocked my car around. He was a moron." She dismissed the man with another wave. It was her left leg that was broken so Serena supposed she could drive with it.

"Isn't it hard to drive like that?" She pointed to the leg. Amanda nodded.

"Yeah, I had to drive an automatic, which is a pain." She leaned down to look at an article in the magazine and Serena left off the questions looking at her own magazine. It seemed different to her full of beauty tips and articles about clothes. She didn't think that she would be interested in it, but soon found herself engrossed in the articles. She didn't understand most of it.

"What is rouge?" She asked suddenly after reading one article about the correct application for cheek makeup and being completely baffled. Amanda looked at her as though she were mad.

"Are you kidding?" Was the question and Serena expected it. She shook her head looking back at the magazine. Somehow tears had seeped into her eyes and she felt like crying at her ignorance. Amanda saw this and reached for the phone. Within ten minutes two women had shown up arms full of carrying cases of all sorts of color. Serena had gotten herself under control but was now confused.

"These are my beauticians Serena. They're gunna teach you everything you'll ever need to know about makeup." Amanda told her with certainty putting her magazine away. One of the woman, a large tanned woman with a very chatty personality plopped herself on Serena's bed and began opening her cases revealing all sorts of pots and pens, lipsticks and liners. Soon her bed was a maze of color but Serena wasn't any less confused. The other woman, a fake blond with bright red lipstick and red eyelids, pulled up a chair to sit besides the bed. Both of them looked like they had a challenge before them.

"Do you know anything about makeup?" The one sitting on her bed asked kindly. Serena shook her head not trusting her voice. "That's okay. Good even. We can teach you the correct way not what all the teens think they should be doing. We'll start with what these things are." She held up a tube of lip liner and launched into an explanation.

Hours later Serena passed their quiz and had her own collection of various types of makeup. Her own face had been scrubbed clean of any traces but she'd tried just about all of the things the women had brought. Two bulging blue cases sat at the foot of her bed and the women, smiling now, where telling her horror stories that they'd come across in their line of work. She grinned and laughed with Amanda at what they said. At eleven thirty a nurse brought in lunch and they took their leave.

"Wow Serena, I didn't know you had such a good memory." Amanda praised her between bites. Serena who had really dug into her food, was already finished but still hungry. A nurse was bringing her a second plate.

"Your not the only one." She said taking her fork and using it like a shovel. The fork was held wrong in her fingers and Amanda noticed.

"You eat funny. Here hold it like this." She held up her own fork and placed her fingers delicately around it. Serena copied and it worked much better. She finished her second plate before Amanda had finished her first. Although still hungry she didn't ask for another plate. The hospital food wasn't exactly the tastiest. Instead she stacked her plates on the tray and put it outside the door as they'd been told.

"I wonder if you always eat like that. I'm amazed you stay as fit as you are." Amanda remarked when Serena took her plate also. Serena shrugged and placed it with the rest looking up to see Nurse Joy coming with a wheel chair. She waved to Serena.
"Time for x-rays." She said after she checked Amanda for discomfort. She didn't fail to notice Amanda's makeup or the two blue cases. "Don't let this girl get you to cover your face Serena. You have just enough natural beauty to do without all that gunk." The nurse told her perfectly aware that they were still in Amanda's hearing. Nurse Joy's own face was covered in makeup. Serena assured her that she would use the least amount possible and the nurse nodded.

Not only were her ribs almost completely healed, but her arm which had been fractured was a week or two from being completely normal. The x-ray technician checked it twice to be absolutely sure then remarked that Serena had amazing recuperative abilities. According to the nurse she could leave as soon as lodgings were arranged. Amanda was happy to hear this when Serena returned. Adam, Alex, and Michael were there with Amanda when the Nurse had wheeled her back to their room. A small bag of clothes were sitting on her bed and Amanda was already wearing a soft green shirt and cut off jeans.

"Those are for you Serena." Amanda told her when she unzipped it and peered inside. Several sets of clothes, all in a soft blue, where neatly folded inside. Serena thanked all of them and took the bag into the bathroom to change. There were so many beautiful articles of clothing in the bag that it was hard for her to choose but finally she settled on a tank-top that came to her middle and a pair of baby blue shorts. They all fit remarkably well and she was much more comfortable that she had been before. At the bottom she had found underclothes, which she'd put on first.

"Nice." Amanda told her when she emerged from the bathroom. Alex whistled softly and Adam gave her an appreciative look. Serena knew she had chosen well and she sat on her bed to put on a pair of matching socks. She still didn't have any shoes and Amanda noted it, not that she needed them in the hospital.

"Well Pops was right when he said the state would contact them for fostering." Alex told Serena seeming the more talkative of the Donnelley clan aside from Amanda of course.

"The paper work should be done by Wednesday which is tomorrow and after that you can come home with Amanda. Mother's besides herself planning shopping sprees for both of you." Serena looked startled. "It's for school, she normally does this for Mandy." He informed her using a pet name for his sister. Amanda glared daggers at him and he glared back.

"Wow, I don't know how to thank you, or your parents for doing this for me." Serena told all of them sitting on the bed and feeling a bit lost for words. She didn't know why she was embarrassed but for some reason she was.

"Don't sweat it." Adam spoke for the first time. "It'll be great having another sister. With just Mandy to tease it can get a little boring." He told her. Amanda pretended to fume but inside she thought this was all grand. She had not only made a new friend, but now she had a sister as well. Something she'd always wanted but never had since her parents had no interest in having more than six kids. Besides now she had someone female to talk to, instead of just males. It was great. Serena took heart in Adam's words and nodded.

"There should be a social services person in here later to make sure that it's all fine with you but it should all go well." Alex said as they began joking again and telling stories of their friends from school so Serena wouldn't feel so behind when she finally met them. At three the Social Serviced representative did indeed show up and they boys left promising to bring them some burgers and shakes for dinner.

"So you've taken the name Serena?" The rep asked taking out a check board with paper on it and writing the name down. "And you have no idea who you are and where you're from?" At Serena's affirmative she wrote again. She told Serena that the hospital had placed her age at sixteen although they couldn't place a time of year for her birth. Serena picked the summer solstice for her birthday which the woman said she should do, and all of it was written down. Serena was also given the chance to pick her own last name since she wasn't a Donnelley unless they formally adopted her and as old as she was, that wasn't really likely. She thought about it for a moment. Serena Celeste was what she finally chose, with no middle name and the rep wrote that down also.

"Have you met the Donnelley's?" She asked. Serena recounted the day before and the rep deemed that adequate before asking if Serena wanted to go with them. She took one look at Amanda and nodded resolutely. The rep smiled and wrote a bit more on her paper.

"Okay well the hospital will print up a copy of your records including your new name, age, birthday and all the other info. You'll receive a Social Security card in a month or so, and that will be yours for as long as you live. All right?" To Serena, now Serena Celeste it was more than all right. It was fabulous. She felt like jumping up and down screaming. The rep nodded with a simile then left.

"Whoho!" Amanda yelled, and Serena knew that if she hadn't been in a cast she would be jumping up and down with Serena. Serena was grinning like a cheshire cat when the boys came back in arms loaded with bags of food and a shoe box. The box they gave to Serena who immediately opened it. Inside where blue canvas shoes that matched all of her blue clothes. She thanked them while they pulled a table into the room and started dividing up food. They'd brought enough so that even with Serena's incredible appetite there was plenty for everyone.

"We're all thrilled that you'll be living with us." Little Michael told her from where he sat by Amanda. His mouth was full of food and he had to stop and finish before he could continue. "Mom's been making calls all day to get rooms ready at the manors and to the school too. She said there's a placement test you'll have to take, but they'll fax it here so everything will be ready when we get back. Between all that and the shopping trips you'll be on, your head will spin before we get back to Cali." He said grabbing another burger from the stack.

"Yup. Wonder what grade you'll be in. Adam's a senior, I'm a freshman and Amanda's a Sophomore." Alex told her dumping ketchup over his fries. Adam stole on grinning. "Knowing our luck you'll be a junior." He faked a grimace and at Serena's confused look Adam elaborated.

"He wouldn't be able to bare it if someone younger than he were in a grade higher. We're all pretty advanced for our ages and it's a top rate private school. Don't worry bout it though you'll fit in just fine." He told her watching Serena slurp down a shake in one gulp. It helped her throat a great deal and told him so. She had to keep applying stuff on her lips cause of the salt in the food.
"Wow. I can't believe all this." She told them. "I didn't even get a chance to feel sorry for myself for being an orphan." They were silent for a moment before they all laughed.

"Yup that's us Donnelley's for ya." Alex glopped more ketchup on a fry. "We take over everything we see and want." He laughed with the rest of them when a dollop of ketchup landed on his chin. He licked it up and dumped another packet of fries on his napkin.
"Just wait Serena. This is just the beginning." Adam told her his eyes twinkling. Serena believed him.
