Chapter Ten

---------------------------------------------

The five stepped in and Jake shut the door.

"Mom", Austin called, walking into the kitchen, setting a cake she had made on the counter.

"They must be out back", she said.

"Alright", Jake replied.

The four followed Austin, beings she was the only one that knew the way around. Sure enough, everybody was out in the backyard…a lot of people were there.

As they walked down a few old crooky steps a red haired woman ran up to Austin.

"austin", the lady cried, giving her a hug.

"Hi mom", replied Austin returning the hug.

Afterwards, Jack had come up and greeted them all as well.

"You guys have grown so much", said Maddie giving them hugs.

Jake and Jack had already gotten into a disscusion about something. As Maddie and Austin started to talk, AJ's eyes wandered around.

But over in the back corner of the yard, she saw Anndy, just standing there, surrounded by adults who were also deep into disscusion. "No way", she said quietly.

Creeping across the yard, she grabbed Anndy's shoulders, as he had done to her. He swung around; he gasped.

"AJ !" he yelled, "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question," she said.

"Maddie and Jack are my grandparents", he replied.

"Wait…their your grandparents?" she asked

"Yeah", he replied.

"Their my grandparents too"

"Woah, were related, that is so weird"

"Yeah I know"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"So what is your band called?" asked AJ, taking a sip of her soda

She and Anndy were inside with everyone else, sitting on one of the couches in the living room. The adults had hogged everyother seat in the house.

"We havn't decided yet…but do you guys want to join?" he replied

"I'd love to, and I don't think Envey and Josh would mind joining either", said AJ.

"Okay, cool", said Anndy.

"So when's the dance?" asked AJ

"Next Friday".

"Awesome", she replied.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Well do you?" AJ asked

"Sure", Envey and Josh replied.

"Okay, cool".

-----------------------------------------------------------

AJ had told Anndy that all three of them would like to join the band. He agreed and told her that the next day (Sat.) they were going to reherse at school.

The reunion party seemed to officially end at about 11:00 p.m. That's when most of the people started to leave.

AJ's mom finally got to see her brother, Danny and Jazz. AJ got to say hi as well. AJ even got to meet Clarie, Jazz's daughter, and Tom, Tucker's son.

The night was fun. But AJ was really excited about the next day. No school, band rehersal, and just being able to have some pure fun.

As AJ climbed into bed, and was about to turn off her lamp, he laptop dingged. She paused for a moment, then grabbed her laptop, that was set on her nightstand.

She opened the top. An instant message from her friend Stephanie popped up.
