A/n : This is my first fan fiction. Plus I reedited the date to '77 in stead of '75 so it will be chronologically correct.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Blues Brothers characters or what ever, Dan Aykroyd and John Landis do. I do not own any songs included, and any characters that are not recognized from BB are entirely mine.

It was on a warm summer morning in Calumet City, Illinois in 1977. Danielle Blues stood on the sidewalk in front of St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud Orphanage. She looked down at her watch and sighed. " It's 10:25 A.M. Elwood, where the heck are you?"

Danielle had come to St. Helen's five years prior after her parents were killed in a car wreck. Even though it was an all-boys orphanage, Sister Mary still took her in because all the other orphanages were full and none of them taught the good word. She had been eight years old then when she met Elwood and Jake Blues, then 17 and 18. Soon after they became inseparable. They became like brothers and sister. So like Jake and Elwood had done years before the each cut their fingers , mixed the blood, and the Blues Brothers gained a sister.

Taking off her black fedora Danielle shook her long brown hair and ran her fingers through it pushing it behind her ears. Putting her fedora back on she sat down her book bag that had the essentials in it .Extra clothes, money, diary, and oh of course her beloved harmonica given to her by Elwood on her 11th birthday two years prior. Hearing a foreign noise Danielle looked around wondering what it could be. "It'd better be Elwood" she thought. As the sound got closer she recognized it was ''Boom Boom'' by John Lee Hooker. Her heart racing, Danielle picked up her bag looking down the road her eyes growing big behind her Rayban Wayfarers.

She smiled when she saw a black Cadillac coming up the road blaring her favorite music, the blues. Danielle stepped back as the driver came to a stop in front of her. Both men in the front seat and the three in the back all grinned at her.

"Hey short stuff, what's happenin with my baby girl," Jake asked opening his door and getting out.

"Nothin much 'J', about to die of boredom 'cause of Elwood being Mr. Pokey Driver ," she replied with a smile.

Elwood looked at her and grinned, "Awww man haven't even been here five minutes and your already criticizing my driving."

The three men in the back looked surprised at this remark and the reason being that Elwood hardly ever talked, but Jake and Danielle looked at each other and he winked at her. They both knew there were only very few people Elwood would talk at length with and one of them was her.

"Err, Jake before we go, could you please introduce these guys to me, and whose car is that?"

Danielle motioned at the men in the back seat and the car that just pulled up behind the Caddy.

"Oh , this is Donald 'Duck' Dunn, Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper, Tom 'Bones' Malone. And the guys in the other car are Mr. Fabulous, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy, Murph Dunne, Blue Lou Marini, and Willie 'Too Big' Hall."

Danielle nodded when each man was acknowledged then she got in beside Elwood. Then Jake shut the door, nodded at Elwood and they sped down the road.
