2 years. That was how long it had been since she had seen them. Her mother, Jack, Ned, Irene, Clu, and Carey. Everytime she was supposed to visit her family something would happen so she couldn't. She moved to Seattle to live with her aunt Melinda so she could keep her family safe. After the first year she wanted to go home, but she couldn't, since Annie wouldn't be able to stay on tour, so Fi made everyone happy, and let Annie stay. But finally, Annie's parents wanted her back with them, so Fi got to go back on tour. She looked in the mirror and laughed slightly. Her mom was going to freak when she saw her. Now Fi was taller, more developed, her hair was still long, but her wardrobe had changed consciderably. She was wearing short shorts and a backless top, that showed off the small rose tatoo on the lower part of her back. She was wearing heavy eye liner, and mascara, she had sheer eyeshadow, and some lip gloss. She stuck her tongue out at her reflection. Yes indeed, if her clothes and make-up wouldn't make her mother freak, the tatoo and tongue ring most definatly would.
"Are you ready Fi?" Her aunt asked, jolting her out of her thoughts.
"Yep, let's get this show on the road." She replied, picking up a few of her bags.

"The plane is obviously late." Jack said, looking at his watch for the fourth time in the past five minutes. He hadn't seen his baby sister in two years, and now the plane was late. This was just great! First they couldn't spend Christmas together because of a blizzard, and now this! What was next, a tornado?
"Jack, it's thirty seconds late. I wouldn't exactly call that "late" ok Jack? And besides, I think that's her plane now." Carey replied, poitning to a plane that was just landing.
"Dudes, where is she?" Clu asked, about ten minutes later. They had been standing around waiting for Fi to get off the plane, but she hadn't yet. Jack was pacing around, mumbling about how inefficient planes were.
"Well, maybe we just missed her in the crowd." Molly said, trying to calm her son, and his friends, although on the inside she was just as impatient as they were. She glanced over to Irene who was talking on her cell phone, and Ned who was looking around for Fi. Where on earth was Fiona? Her anwer came about a minute later.
"MOM!" Fi yelled, racing towards her mother and brother, and her friends. Molly immedianlty wrapped her arms around Fi, trying not to cry. Two years. God, that was just way to long. She never wanted to let her daughter go again. As soon as Molly let go of Fi Jack wrapped his arms around his sister. He and Fi still remained close, even though they hadn't seen each other for two years. They relied on emails and IM's and phone calls along with a few post cards to keep in touch, but during that time they had gotten much closer than they would have if Fi had been on tour with them. But that didn't change the fact that no one was going to ever let her leave again. They had all missed her way to much.
After the hugs and hellos everyone went out to eat. When they got to the pizza place Fi was walking behind everyone, except Carey, who was walking directly behind her. They were following the waitress to their table when he noticed a spot of red on her lower back. He looked a little closer at it and his jaw dropped when he realized it was a tatoo. He tapped her on her back.
"Fi! When did you get that?" He whispered, so no one else would hear it.
"A few months ago. Like it?" She asked smiling. That was when he noticed the tongue ring.
"And what about the tongue ring? When did you get that?" He asked, trying not to show how suprised he was.
"A few months ago. I got that before I got the tatoo." She repliead, grinning like a chesire cat.
A few months? Months? And he didn't even know about it? "Your mom is going to freak out when she finds out, you do know that, right?"
"Oh yeah." She started laughing at picturing her moms face. "Uh, Carey." She said, in her normal voice, "Where is everyone?" He turned to see that their families and the waitress was no where in sight.
"Uh oh. I think we got a little caught up in our conversation." He said, looking a little sheepish.
"There they are!" Fi pointed out to the back of the restuaraunt, where their families were sitting. "Come on!" She started pulling him with her.
He walked behind her, wondering what was going to happen now that Fi was home. She had changed, that was for sure. And he knew nothing was going to be the same.
"Are you ready Fi?" Her aunt asked, jolting her out of her thoughts.
"Yep, let's get this show on the road." She replied, picking up a few of her bags.
