FASH: Here I go again, in the words of my friends, I need a hobby, but I'll just count this as my hobby, I could get away with it!

Tana sighed, she had just turned seventeen and her life wasn't any easier, school was almost over and if she didn't get good grades Volney wouldn't let her go to Germany with some of her classmates for the summer! Tana growled and gripped at her pencil, she had long since given up calling that man father, or even uncle, he acted like a complete stranger, only more hating. 'Why me, what did I do wrong, what made me deserve such a hateful guardian?' She asked sadly to herself before the bell rang, many whoops came from around her, school was now over, except for the separate days for exams.

Tana was now on the bleachers with her best friend Lewanna and her youngest sister Isolde. Volney wanted her home by four, but she and her sis could walk home in fifteen minutes so it didn't really matter, besides, she'd rebel in her small, insignificant ways.

"You know what sucks, none of my friends or sisters are going to go Germany too." Tana scowled as she hanged from the back of the bleachers upside down. (I don't blame you if you don't understand what I just said.) "I know, that's why I pity you." Lewanna said from her perch beside Tana and Isolde. "And then there's the problem called Grace Vesta." Isolde piped up and Tana nodded. "I know, Miss I'm so much better than everyone else, why the hell did she have to come?" Tana asked sadly as she and her friends talked about the unfairness of it all.

Tana arrived home and threw her school bag into her room before running to the kitchen. "Hey mom!" She greeted as she kissed her aunt on the cheek. "Hello dear, Sydelle will be coming over with Rex today. Did you have a good last day of school?" Tana reached over and took an apple, taking a bite before nodding. "That's nice. Aren't you so excited? In eight months or so, I'll be a grandparent and you'll be an aunt!" Tana smiled, yep, her twenty one year old cousin had been married for a year and was now two months pregnant, and her nineteen year old cousin was engaged, and her other two sisters had boyfriends. "Romance seems to run in your side of the family." Tana said sadly as she thought of a boy from long ago, one who she befriended and who she wanted to see again. Her aunt looked at her and gave her a hug. "You are part of this family Tana, no will make it so you're not." She let go of Tana and brushed her hair aside, Tana smiled and went to her room.

"Robert, Robby-kins, will I see you again in Germany? I hope so..." Tana thought as she took out her beyblade, she wasn't really good, but she was better than all her friends, thanks to her bit beast, an eagle she named Desmond, soon after she took the light green and white blade out, she drifted off in a nap.

Meanwhile in Germany.

Robert sighed, Johnny was once again trying to beat him in chess, the boy was absolutely intolerable, could he not grasp the concept that he would never win? 'Why must I be so easily annoyed? I should be calmer, what would mother and father think if they knew how much certain people grate on my nerves?' He thought sardonically before moving his Knight. "Checkmate." He said simply before getting up and exiting the library to go have some jasmine tea with Oliver, leaving Johnny to try and figure out what he did wrong. Robert wouldn't worry about Johnny's deflated ego though; if he wanted to feel better he could just play some tennis against Enrique.

He entered the dining area and saw Oliver sitting beside Enrique and chatting; about what, only them and God knew.

"Hey Robert!" Enrique gave a small waved and Oliver nodded his head in conformation of Robert's presents, Robert also gave a curt nod and sat down next to Oliver, and no sooner then he did Gustav came out with three steaming cups of tea. Robert had started lecturing Enrique about the virtuous ways of not taking a woman's virtue, but Enrique just replied with a. "Robert, you need to get laid." And Johnny, who just happened to come in the room at that precise moment, laughed and quickly agreed with Enrique, and Robert didn't see it but he just knew Oliver was supporting Enrique's statement as well. 'When did life become so horrid?' He asked himself, but he was inwardly smiling at his friends quirks.

Tana woke up and quickly fixed her hair, it had gotten all fuzzy from her nap. Her hair wasn't very long anymore, she found it easier to maneuver when it was short, and it was all now an inch above her shoulders and the front, tan part was side parted. She looked into her own reflection's eyes, she had finished all her exams already, hers were all in class, and in one week she would be leaving for Germany. 'Volney, had better let me go. I spent two years working at that stupid restaurant, having to put up with all the guys hitting on me because I was wearing that stupid short skirt. God, I want to murder something, stupid blood lust.' She thought to herself before going to the kitchen to help prepare for supper.

"I suppose your grades are good enough for you to go." Volney said, Tana snorted and all the females, yep, all six, glared at him, no duh she had good grades, she actually studied for tests and her marks were low nineties high eighties! "But I expect you to be on your best behavior in Germany, my company has many resourceful business partners there and I don't want you ruining any of my business relations." He said snidely, the glares on him increased, the only other man in there now joined in on the glaring fest, not that Volney noticed or cared, he never cared. Tana sighed and played around with her food for the rest of her time at the table, conscious of the worried glances directed at her from the few people who cared.

One Week Later

Tana had dressed in a skirt that matched her light green eyes and went to mid thigh, she had a black, studded belt on and through the belt holding loop on her right side was a dog's chocker chain and on the chain was her lock, that should recharge Robert's memorize, I mean, who the hell wore locker locks, it was her fashion statement of eleven years and it hadn't caught on yet. And then she was wearing a white tank top and the hazel part of her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. She was currently on the receiving end of many tearful hugs from emotion female relatives. "It's not like m' leaving forever." She said happily before she boarded the plane, but in the depths of her heart, she knew that long ago, she never wanted to leave that country in the first place, the country where she met a boy who would now be a man. And she may not have known it yet, but that man would change her life.

FASH: I love this, because I love Robert, he's hot, I'd so tap that, again and again. Anyways, remember to review!
