"Flight 327 is unloading!" An airline manager's voice said throughout the airport.

"That's her!" Luke jumped up from where he and Tru were sitting. He pointed to a pretty blonde with her hair back, wearing a blacked hooded sweatshirt and too-small shorts. All she had was an old backpack.

"KAREN!" Luke called as Karen spotted Luke. Karen dropped her backpack and ran into Luke's opened arms.

She started crying. "Oh, Luke, it's been so bad with Renee and Dave."

"Renee and Dave?" Tru said, finally speaking up.

Karen noticed Tru and broke away from Luke. "Is this her? Your girlfriend?"

Tru blushed, because she hadn't really thought of herself as Luke's girlfriend.

"Yeah." Luke said, a little embarrassed of what Karen had called Tru. "Tru, this is Karen, Karen, Tru."

"Hi, nice to meet you, Karen." Tru said as she stuck out her hand.

Karen shook it and nodded a hello. "Renee and Dave is Luke's parents. Well, they're my parents too, but sometimes, I wish they weren't."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. After my mom died, my dad pretty much abandoned my brother, sister and I."

"Wow," was all Karen said.

Luke looked at Karen, who was looking at her backpack down by her feet, then he looked at Tru, who was looking at her watch. He cleared his throat. Both girls looked up at him. "Well, how about we go get some dinner? Are you hungry, Karen?"

"Starving." Karen said a little to dramatically as she held her stomach.

Luke turned to Tru. "Could you use some food?" She nodded. "Ok. Let's go." He picked up Karen's backpack for her and they started off towards Luke's car, Karen walking on Luke's right, and Tru walking on Luke's left.

"So, how long have you two been dating?" Karen said, seeming interested in the idea of her brother having a girlfriend.

"Uh, well?" Luke looked at Tru for help.

"Um, we have been 'dating' for, how long would you say, Luke?"

"Let me guess," Karen interrupted. "You guys aren't really dating. You're just 'seeing each other'?"

"You could put it that way." Luke said uncomfortably.

"Ok." Karen said, walking a little faster than Tru and Luke.

"A little nosy, huh?" Tru whispered to Luke.

"I heard that!" Karen called back.

"Oops." Tru blushed.

"It's ok. She takes after our mother." Luke whispered back.

This time Karen turned around. She seemed angry. "I don't ever want to hear you say that again, Luke! I hate Renee and Dave! You know that! Don't ever say I take after Mom!" She turned back around.

Luke gave Tru a smile that said, "This is going to be a fun week."
