On the car ride to her house Veronica wondered what was going on. Why did her dad tell her to come home immediately? Was it something serious?

Five minutes later she was at her house, she unlocked the front door and walked in. "Dad I'm home is everything ok?" she screamed as she placed her bag on the counter. As she turned around she screamed.

"Wallace!" as she ran over to the couch to hug him. "What are you doing here?"

"Actually Veronica, your father and I asked you both to be here," Alicia replied as her and Keith walk out of the bedroom.

"Yes, we have some news," Keith said.

"Let me guess, you're pregnant," Wallace replied. 'Oh no, no someone else that is pregnant' Veronica thought.

"Not quite Wallace," Keith replied.

"Actually … how do I put this?" Alicia said as she looked back at Keith. "We are engaged."

"Oh my gosh congratulations," Veronica said as she went to hug Alicia.

"That's awesome, so that means that my best friend is now my soon to be step sister?" Wallace asked as he shook hands with Keith.

"Yes, you and Veronica will be related." Alicia and Keith said simultaneously. Veronica and Wallace looked at each other and smiled.

"But that is not the only reason that we called you here," Keith replied. "As you know us getting married means that we all will be living together. However, Alicia and I have decided to live at her house with your brother Wallace and we are leaving you two to share this house."

"We think you both are responsible enough to care for this house."

"But that doesn't mean that we will not be checking up on you. There will be rules that you both must obey."

"Yes sir!" Wallace said as Veronica shook her head.

"And those rules being?" Veronica asked.

"Well first off no parties. If Veronica wants to have a sleep over with some of her girl friends Wallace must spend the night at one of his buddy's house. And visa versa. Understand?"

"Of course," Veronica nodded.

"Definitely," Wallace announced.

"Also, I want you both to remember that I have my ways of finding out every single thing that happens in this house. If anything happens that Alicia and I do not approve of, this house will be sold and we are all going to live under one house."

"We strongly believe that you two are responsible and will not disobey us. We are giving you both the space that you deserve. Since you both will be going to college next year, we thought this will give you experience that you both will need."

"Thanks, we won't let you down," Wallace said.

"When does this change actually going to take place?" Veronica questioned.

"Well, I've already packed all of my things Veronica. I shall be moving in with Alicia when Wallace is ready to move in with you."

"Sorry V, but that might take awhile since I haven't been home, I have a ton of things to pack and my room is a mess." Wallace said looking a little disappointed.

"Yea well you better thank your awesome mom for already packing your bags. You can move in this weekend!" Alicia stated.

"For real? Thanks Mom, You're the best!" Wallace said as he went to give his mom a hug.

Ten minutes later Alicia and Keith left bringing some of Keith's boxes to Alicia's house.

Wallace and Veronica were still in disbelief from what just happened.

"Me and you living together, with no parents, how awesome is that," Wallace said with a smirk on his face.

"It's not going to be what you think Wallace. You know how nosy and sneaky I am." Wallace nodded. "Well I had to get it from someone. If anything he is nosier and sneakier than me."

"Someone nosier and sneakier than you? I don't believe it." Wallace laughed.

"Well you better start believing it buddy," Veronica said.

Veronica called Duncan to tell him the news. She then was about to email Wallace telling him everything that happened when she remembered that he was in the next room. She went up to him and gave him a hug

"What was that for?"

"It's because I've missed you so much!"

"Well, I'm here to stay now. I mean look at this awesome pad that me and you both own," he laughed.

He then told Veronica all the things he did with his father and how much he learned about him. Veronica then told him about all the chaos that has been happening. All Wallace had to do was listen. She could see the expression on his face that she hasn't seen since New Years. She still couldn't believe that everything that happened just happened. How is it possible that her best friend has come back to stay and that he is going to be her step-brother and that he is going to live with her in this apartment. She was truly happy for the first time since this past summer with Logan then Duncan and Meg. She finally felt her life was going to be ok.

Wallace then looked at the clock, "V it's nine thirty, we were supposed to be at my old house an two hours ago to eat dinner with our parents!"

"Wow time sure flies when you're having fun," Veronica replied as she picked up her car keys and then headed out the door.
