Don't worry, this will have more action in the later chapters! Thank-you to all the people who reviewed and I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I'm going over the date with Tony (Not sure if anyone did that yet...) but it's not too detailed.... and you'll see why when you read it. But this does play an important part in the story :)

Chapter 2: Everything Is Not As It Seems

"Mom, can I come out now?" Dash whined from inside his bedroom. Helen got up and walked over to her son's room.

"Yes Dash, you can come out now." She said. Then she turned to Violet's door. "You too Violet."

A few seconds later, Dash cautiously walked out of his room and made his way to the kitchen.

"In here Dash." Helen called from the living room. Dash sighed and changed directions. He really didn't want to face his mother after what happened. He knew he would get in big trouble.

"Sit down." Helen instructed, pointing to a chair. Dash did as told and looked down at the ground, avoiding eye contact.

"Where's Violet?" He asked her cautiously.

"Violet, get out here now!" Helen called through the house. Violet came into he room a few seconds later, her hair still covering her face.

"Now tell me exactly what happened." Helen demanded as she glared at her two eldest children.

"About what?" Dash asked cautiously. Helen raised an eyebrow. Both Dash and Violet looked at the doorway, which had a large piece of cardboard covering the opening.

"Oh, that?" Dash said to the floor. "It was all Violet's fault, she fired a force field at me."

"Why did you do that Violet?" Helen asked her daughter.

"Because he was being annoying." She said back, glaring at Dash

"I was not." Dash said under his breath.

"What were you doing this time Dash?" Helen said after a deep breath. Dash just looked at the floor.

"He was making fun of me and Tony... again!" Violet spoke up. Helen looked back at Dash.

"Is this true?"

"Maybe"

"Dash, we've been over this before. I've told you to stop that countless times!" Helen told him. Dash frowned at Violet.

"Hah" Violet said to Dash. Dash stuck his tongue at her.

"Violet, your in trouble too."

"What!" They both said in unison

"The both of you are grounded this weekend and that's final!" Helen said getting up from her seat. She went off to the kitchen to start dinner. Violet followed her.

"But mom, I'm meeting Tony tonight, we had this all planned out!" She told her mother frantically. Helen stared at her.

"Then you shouldn't have done that to your brother. You have to start acting you age Violet, your too old for this kind of behavior!" Helen said. Violet frowned.

Just then, the phone rang.

"I got it!" Yelled Dash and Violet at the same time. Violet may have been closer, but Dash got to it first!

"HA!" He said at Violet. Violet had a strong urge to punch him, but held back. She was in enough trouble already.

"Oh right, she can't go! She got in trouble for almost killing me and...." Dash said into the phone. Violet knew instantly who it was and grabbed the phone from him.

"Hey!" Dash yelled as Violet put the phone to her ear.

"I'm sorry about that Tony, that was just my little brother."

"I kinda figured that." Tony said back.

"Why are you calling?" Violet asked out of curiosity.

"I just wanted to know what time we were gonna meet at the theater."

"Right, the time..." Violet said. She looked at her mother, who was in the process of cooking dinner. Helen looked back.

"7:00, Violet. And you be back by 9:30 tonight!" Said Helen in exasperation. Dash stared at her, mad that Violet was getting off so easily.

"I'll meet you at seven, okay?" Violet said back into the receiver.

After a few seconds of silence, Tony responded. "Fine with me, see you then."He said back. After that, they hung up.

"Don't think your getting of that easy, young lady. Your still in trouble. And I don't want you doing anything rash tonight!" Helen told her daughter sternly.

"I know mom." Violet said. Then she gave her mom a quick hug and skipped off to her room to get ready.

"What, why does she get off so easily?" Dash complained.

"Dash, please just go watch TV or something!" Helen said back. Dash frowned, but walked out of the room.

A couple minutes later, Bob walked in the door.

"Any luck?" Helen asked him.

"Huh, no." Bob said as he walked down the hall. Helen watched him leave and sighed.

"Can you please get the kids and tell them to wash up? Dinner's nearly on the table."

"Yeah, sure." He said, not really paying any attention.

As Helen was putting the plates on the table, Violet and Dash walked in the room.

"Where's your father?" She asked them.

"I dunno." Dash said quickly as he sat down. Helen left to go get their father as Violet took her seat.

"Violet and Tony..."

"Don't start with me." She warned him menacingly. Dash was silent.

A few moments later, Helen walked back into the room holding Jack-Jack. She set him in his high-chair and began to feed him.

"Mom, where's dad?" Violet asked her.

"Can we eat now?" Dash whined.

"Yes Dash, you can eat." Helen said slowly. The two looked at each other and begun to eat without saying anything else.

"Mom?" Violet asked, finally breaking the ice.

"What now?" She asked, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Are you going to drive me to the theater, or should I ask dad?" She asked her cautiously. She was expecting her father to.

"I'll take you, your father's a bit busy at the moment."

"Okay, thanks." Violet said back. She wondered to herself what her father had been up to. He wasn't even at the table eating with them.

"I'm done!" Dash yelled as he got up and raced off to his room.

"Then you can go start your homework." Helen called after him. Violet heard a loud groan from Dash's bedroom. She giggled to herself.

"I'm done too." She said as she rose from the table.

"Get back her young lady." Helen said

"What?" Violet said

"You need to clean up the kitchen tonight." Helen replied.

"But mom..." Violet started.

"Do you want to go tonight or not?" Her mother asked her. Violet sighed and began to clear off the table Helen lifted up Jack-Jack and went off to find her husband, leaving Violet to finish cleaning.

"Bob, what are you doing now?" Helen asked impatiently as she stood outside of the door to his study.

"Nothing honey." He said as he emerged from the room. He shut the lights off and shut the door.

"I told you we'd talk about that as a family." She told him softly. She didn't want the kids to overhear.

"I know." He said. And with that, he walked off to get something to eat. Helen went to the living room to put Jack-Jack in the playpen.

"Violet, are you ready yet, your going to be late?" Helen said as she knocked on her daughter's door. Violet emerged a moment later. Her hair was pulled back with a blue headband and she was wearing a black tank top with a dark blue jacket over it and a pair of jeans.

"That's what your wearing?" Her mom asked her.

"Yes, is there something wrong with it?" Violet asked back.

"No, just get in the car. I don't want you to be late for your first date." Helen said as she walked out to the car. The two of them got in and pulled out down the driveway. On the way, Violet couldn't help noticing that Dash was in the window making kissing faces at her again. She clenched her fists.

"Now Violet, I want you to be responsible tonight." Helen told her daughter.

"I know mom." Violet said slowly. She had been through this before.

"I'm just looking out for you."

"I know."

"I want you to call me if anything happens. I'll come and pick you up, okay?" Helen told her as she handed her a cell-phone.

"Okay mom."

"You're not to stay out any later than 9:30!" Helen warned her

"I know!" Violet said in an exasperated viocefor the last time.

They pulled up at the theater and up to the main entrance. Violet opened up the door and got out.

"Bye honey, be good and don't forget to call me!" She said as Violet closed the door. She waited until Violet was safely inside and then she drove back home.

In the theater Violet looked around for Tony. She had no idea where she was going to meet him, as he had never told her. She walked around a bit and looked at the movies that were playing. She sighed and sat down at a table, wondering where he was.

A few minutes later, the door opened at the entrance. Violet rose from the table as Tony walked in the door and looked around. He didn't see Violet. Then he motioned for someone else to come inside. It was a girl, and not just any girl, one of the most popular girl at school. Violet was stunned.

She sat back down and waited as she watched them. They giggled with each other and walked further in the theater. They got in line for the movies and then they did something else. Tony kissed her. Violet was so angry. She ran into the ladies room.

"Why would he do something like this?" Violet asked herself in the mirror. She thought Tony wanted to go out with her. She never dreamed he would cheat on her. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would do that. Then again, she didn't know him very well. She sat on the sink and debated about what to do. She couldn't call her mom, not now.

Finally she decided to step out into the lobby. Tony and the girl were nowhere in sight. Violet probably figured they were watching a movie. She wondered if Tony even cared about her.

Violet wandered outside of the theater. She wrapped her arms around herself as it was getting late and a bit chilly. Finally she pulled out the cell phone her mom had given her and dialed her home number. Helen picked up the phone.

"Hello." She said.

"Hi mom, could you please give me a ride home?" Violet asked quietly. Tears were coming to her eyes.

"Already, it's only 7:30!" Her mom stated.

"Please?"

"I'll be right there, wait in the theater for me, okay."

"Okay." Violet said and then hung up. Then she turned around and went back inside to wait.

About 10 minutes later, Helen walked inside the theater and looked around. She spotted Violet and walked over to her.

"Are you okay?" She asked her daughter. Violet wiped her eyes and got up, her hair covering her face once again.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. Helen could tell something was wrong though.

They walked to the car with Violet lagging behind a bit. She didn't want to tell her mom what had happened. But she knew she'd ask as soon as they got in the car.

"What happened Violet?" Her mom askedin a concered voiceas she looked at her daughter.

"It was nothing mom." She said back in a small voice.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Helen asked her again.

"Yeah." Violet said as she stared out the window, burying her head in her arms. Helen turned back and they drove home. No one said anything else the whole way.

When Helen pulled up into the driveway, Violet opened the door and got out as fast as she could. She didn't want anyone to ask anymore questions.

"How was you date?" Dash asked her when she got in the door, emphasizing the word date. Violet ran past him and went into her room and locked the door behind her.

"Gee, what's her problem? Dash muttered to himself.

"Dash, you leave your sister alone!" Helen told him sternly.

"I didn't even do anything!" He said back. Helen gave him a warning look and Dash went back to his math homework.

Helen went off to her bedroom to find her husband, who was looking at the paper again.

"Back so soon?" He said upon her entering.

"Something happened between Violet and Tony." She said as she picked up Jack-Jack from his crib.

"What happened?" Bob asked back, setting the paper down.

"I don't know, she won't tell me." Helen replied, cradling Jack-Jack in her arms.

"Where is she now?"

"She's locked herself in her room." Helen replied.

"Well, are you just going to leave it then?" He asked her, his temper rising a bit.

"Of course not, I'm concerned about this too. I'll ask her about it tomorrow morning." Helen said back. Bob shook his head and sat back down to continue reading. Helen went back to the living room. As she past Violet's room, she could hear her crying. It wasn't like Violet to cry. Helen was worried and she intended to find out what happened the next day.

A/N: Aww, poor Violet. I'm not sure if that would happen or not... but that's why it's a fanfic (lol) Hee Hee, I like doing fight senes between Vi and Dash, they're fun, so expect more of them!! Thanks again to all the people who reviewed! You've made my day :)
