We all went back to my house. My parents were away for a week. The 1st year they go to Vegas and leave me alone at the house I bring in the cast of FFX. Okay, I wasn't all alone. My sister, Mallory, was staying with me. Well, her name is Mallory, but most people call her Sugar because she is so sweet. Apparently she is sweet, yeah, to every one but me! Since I am only in 8th grade she doesn't hang with me much. She was 17 about Rikku's age. She wasn't home a lot. She left me here most of the time. My parents just left yesterday. She waited 2 hours then left herself. She had a party or something. She didn't know I was going to meet Yuna and etc. today. I told her I was going down town to pick up some groceries early. When she asked why I didn't reply. That is the relationship she and I have. Anyway, it wasn't even 10:00 yet so she was still asleep. It was summer vacation; she could sleep as late as 4:00 if she wants to. We all snuck in. "Okay," I told them, "You guys will basically have to live in my room for a week, at least while my sister is here, which shouldn't be too often. They all nodded. I got them all sleeping bags, pillows and other stuff. I grabbed a bag of Cheeto's, a thing of Oreo's and some Oscar Myer Lunch Meet, and a loaf of bread. I took them all up to my room. "Okay, this is a bunch of food for you guys to eat. Do not, however hungry you may be, eat it all now." The agreed and started in. Rikku began talking into her microphone on her shirt.

"You guys getting the signal?" she asked.

"Load and clear! Thanks Rikku!" I hear Buddy's voice come over the speaker. "The other three should be there soon."

"The other three? Which one's now?" I asked.

However, I didn't get a response, because suddenly, "Ding dong" I hear the door bell go.

I heave a sigh, and say to them "Do NOT leave this room!" They nod and I go to the door. I swing it open and find myself staring right in the faces of Lenne, Aeries, and Baralai

"Are you Lulu?" Lenne asks.

"Unfortunately, yes," I reply. They smile and come inside. "It was so nice of you to do this for us."

"Whatever," I say.

"Nice place you got here!" said Airies.

"Hmmmm," I reply.

"Where are the others?" asks Baralai.

"Upstairs, 1st door on the left."

"Thanks!" he says the three start to climb the stairs. Then I hear a dispute breaking loose.

"It's over here!" cried Lenne.

"No it's not it's this one," says Baralai.

"Please," said Airies, "don't tell me you don't know your left from your right.

'Hmmmm,' I thought to myself. 'If my door is the 1st on the left. What is on the right? OH NO!' "Baralai!" but it was too late. He was in my sister's room.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They probably heard her scream a mile away. "WHO ARE YOU!!!" she screamed. I dashed up the stairs and tried to think of something.

When I got to the top I said to her, "One of my friends! His name is Baralai." Then it occurred to me that is not a common name. "Ummm... from Germany?"

"Oh. Will you keep your little friends out of here! How old is he anyway?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes, thought 'Why do you care?' but still replied, "20."

"Oh really?" Now, you have to keep in mind to Mallory dating a collage guy was really cool. Even though he wasn't in collage. In fact ran a major organization in... Germany.

"Well, we have got to go now okay so bye!" I said as fast as I could. I shoved Baralai out of Mallory's room and into mine. "Now you all have to stay here!"

"Hey, I just realized," said Paine, "If you aren't Lulu, who are you?"

"My name is Connie."

"Connie? What an odd name! Can we call you something else?" asked Yuna.

"I don't care! Just tell me what it is, and don't make it stupid!"

"Not a problem there!" said Rikku.

"And don't let her have any say in it!" I said as I pointed to Rikku.

"What did I do now?!?!" she asked.

I showed them around my room. "Okay, this is the closet; I'll probably be hiding you here at some point. Just be ready for it. This is the bed. It is filled with water, so it is called a water bed. DON'T JUMP ON IT! It will break and you will be in trouble. You'll have to pay for it, and the people here don't take gil. This is a TV. You guys will be able to watch stuff on it. I'll get you some movies, so you don't have to be totally bored. You guys are smart; you can probably figure the rest out. Any questions?" I asked.

"Yeah," called Lenne, "What is that?" she asked pointing to a phone. "That is a telephone. Can you say telephone? Let's all say it!"

"Tel-a-phone" they all say together.

"Good! Now, if it rings, which it will, don't answer it. Just call for me. Then I or Mallory, my sister will make it stop, k?" They all agreed, and then there was a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it a crack. "What do you want?" I asked Mallory.

"I just wanted to see how you are," she replied.

"When why are you wearing the skimpiest clothes you have?" I asked.

"No reason. Can I come in?"

"No." I said and shut the door.

'knock, knock, knock.'

I opened the door again, "Go away."

"How many people do you have in there?" she asked.

"Six. What's it to you?"

"How many of them are boys?"

I rolled my eyes. "One! Okay! One! That's all! GO AWAY!" I closed the door on her and said. That was Mallory. Ignore her. And do not open the door to her. Especially you, Baralai." They all agreed, then I sat down to try to figure out what I was gonna do next.
