REUNITE
CHAPTER ONE

Disclaimer: Own nothing.
A/N: This is really different from anything else on the site, but I hope you like it! It's kinda based on a book I wrote before I even heard about FF. So I decided to re-write it based on a BSC character. I chose Mary Ann because, in the books, her mom died and her dad had troubles raising her, so he gave her to her grandparents for a little bit. So in my story, he put her up for adoption in stead!

I sat in my moon chair, wrapped up in my favorite blanket, the one my biological mother crocheted for me, reading my favorite book, 'The Secret Garden.'

I had read the book at least 10 times, but never got tired of it.

"Mary Ann!" My mother called me.

Well, so much for a no-interruption afternoon. My six brothers and sisters were all gone, and I was looking forward to a totally private afternoon.

"Yes?" I yelled back to her.

"Come down here!"

"Okay!" I said as I walked out of my room, and down the stairs.

"Yes?" I said when I got there.

"Can you do the dishes for me, honey?" She asked, so sweetly. So sweet it kinda bugged me.

"Okay."

I walked over to the sink and started filling it with water and soap.

As I was doing the dishes, I started thinking about my crazy family and myself.

I'm a 13-year-old girl who lives in Hood River, OR. I'm adopted, and have short brown hair and am kinda shy. I'm the 3rd born out of seven. Yes, I have SEVEN brothers and sisters (all adopted), and for once in my life, they were all gone and I had to do the dishes.

Well, I better tell you a little bit about my crazy family.

First, there's Billy, he's seventeen and acts just like it. Girls, girls and more girls. Talk about annoying. He's going out with a different girl every night! I know the saying, 'Shopping Around' but, jeez!

Anyway, he has brown hair and brown eyes, and some of my friends think his really cute, but I have know clue what they're talking about! He really is a nice guy, you just have to get past all the girls and cheesy pick up lines (sometimes he uses them on me and I slap him).

Next, there's Jessica, at 15, she's really nice, but a major drama queen! She'll be dating a guy for two weeks and when he breaks up with her, she cries in her bedroom for three hours. Believe me, we go through a lot of Kleenex's.

Well, she's really pretty, with naturally curly red hair (really pretty curly hair, not frizzy at all, I don't know how she does it!) and piercing blue eyes. She's very fashionable with lots of friends and is very popular.

Then there's me. You already know a little about me, but I'll tell you a little more. I like to blend in with the crowd, very on like the rest of my family. Every-one thinks that since I come from such a big family, that I most be loud, but I'm as far from loud as it gets. Shy, sensitive, and organized would be the words my boy friend would use to describe me.

Oh, yea, I have a very series boy friend named Jake Notle. We've been dating for about six months now and very happy with our relationship right now. Still no kiss, but that's okay. He's very sweet and caring, and I'm real happy we met.

After me, there's Sam. He's twelve and hangs out with my other six-year-old little brother. He's so immature it scares me! He reads comic books all the time and then acts out the stories in them. He sometimes runs around in a Batman costume pretending to be, who else, Super Man! My mom has offered to get him a Super Man costume, but Sam doesn't want one.

He has light brown hair, brown eyes and is really short for his age.

After him, there's Kelsey. She's ten years old and shyer then me. She loves to write everything from two line poems, to twenty-chapter long books. And she's very talented, and has won a lot of awards in school and get A+'s in most classes.

I don't know how she does it, because she's in more clubs and after school activities than I can count on both hands. It's ridiculous.

She has dark brown hair, beautiful brown eyes and is dark completed.

Then there's Kara, she's the exact opposite of Kelsey. Outgoing, nosey, tattling, picking, you name it, fif it breaks the rules, she does it; yet she and Kelsey get a long great.

I think they even each other out, but Mom and Dad say that opposites attract.

Kara has light brown hair, some might call it dirty blond, and green eyes.

Last but not least, is Zack, the troublemaker. At six, he's the worst of the bunch. Believe it or not, Kara's an angel compared to Zack. If it's annoying, stupid, dumb, discussing, retorted, nosey and if it breaks the rules, or a lamp, he does it.

If you look past all the pestyness, he's a cute little blond hair, blue eyed, six-year-old little boy that drives everybody nuts.

With seven kids, my parents have really great jobs. My dads the manger of a huge company, an hour away, in Portland. And my mom is a nurse at the local hosbile.

We also have 11 pets-Three dogs, Two cats, Four birds and Two lizards.

So that's my family, big, crazy and weird, but I still love them all!
