Thank you so much IlovJesseMcCartney55 for pointing out I've been spelling Bradin wrong. I feel like such and idiot right about now. This is what I get for not editing my stories my self. Thank you so much for point that out for me. I had a friend help me edit these because trust me if you knew me I have major issues with spelling and punctuation. She or I must have changed it and neither of us picked up on the mistake again thank you so much for pointing that out!

Now after that thank you well here's chapter 3 again R&R please

Chapter 3 A lot to learn

That night Loretta was still being asked questions when she remembered something.

"Oh I almost forgot." she said and with that she ran up to Nikki's room and got a brown paper bag from her suitcase, and then ran back outside to where everyone was sitting.

"Here Ms. Ava this is a gift from my family to yours."

"Why thank you Loretta but you didn't."

"No, I or I mean my family wanted to."

Ava opened the bag and pulled out a bottle of wine.

"It's a 1989 chardonnay, wine the grapes were very good that year, many people back in Italy get it for wedding and other special occasions."

"Well thank you."

"You are very welcome."

The next morning Loretta and Nikki decided to go to the shops and find some decorations for the room.

"Okay so pillows, some blankets, maybe some stuff for the wall and you and me can paint the nightstand." Said Nikki

"Sounds fun."

Not knowing that they weren't the first ones up they were unaware of what was going on outside.

"This will be great!" said Derrick

"Shhhhhh there in the kitchen they'll here you." said Bradin

"So how many do we have?"

"Well there's 20 balloons a bag, we filled two bags, and broke 5 balloons. So 35 give or take if any more broke."

"So come on lets get going before the crowds start." said Nikki

Bradin heard from the kitchen him and Derrick grabbed a bucket full of water balloons and waited out of sight at the front door.

"Really so just something like…" #BAM#

"AHHHHHHHH CHE COSA ERA CHE La RELATIVA ESPOSIZIONE NON DIVERTENTE Il VOSTRO AUTO Io CONOSCE YOURE QUI!" yelled Loretta

"BRADIN I KNOW THAT WAS YOU I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL A BIT OLD FOR THESE GAME!" screamed Nikki

Until they heard laughing and Bradin and Derrick emerged from behind the fence. Nikki looked behind her and saw 3 water balloons that hadn't broken. She taped Loretta's shoulder and motioned behind her both smiled at each other picked up the balloons. Loretta threw hers and Bradin and so did Nikki both hitting him, one hitting him in the head the other in the chest. He was no longer laughing but Derrick still was even harder now until he was hit with the remaining balloon by Nikki. Then more balloons came flying but Nikki and Loretta were unarmed until Loretta noticed a few balloons on the side of the house. Nikki and her both ran.

"Yea run away." yelled Bradin

Nikki found a bucket and put as many balloons in it as she could then. Loretta cared about ten or more in her arms. They made there way around the house to see the boys congratulating each other on their victory.

"OH BOYS" Nikki yelled

Both turned only to get pelted by more water balloons.

The fight lasted a while when then front door opened and Ava stepped out to see what was going on. A stray balloon ended up hitting her. At her sudden scream every one stopped to see Ava dripping wet.

"Okay what is going on." said Jay coming out from his apartment. Then noting Ava dripping wet and broken water balloons everywhere he couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"Oh so you think this is funny?" said Ava

But jay didn't hear her she picked up a water balloon from the girls bucket at chucked it at him. Everyone still stood quite not sure how to react, if Ava would start yelling or not. Derrick broke the silence by screaming,

"WATTER BALOON FIGHT"

It was all out war for a half hour until all of the balloons were broken. There was no winner everyone was equally as drenched. The door cracked open slightly.

"Is it safe to come out?" said Susanna

"Yea I think were out of balloons." said Nikki

"Well I still don't trust you one of you has to have one ready to throw at me."

Which jay did.

"Any way Ava you have a phone call from the people up in New York."

"Oh that right they said they'd call!" she ran in and Susanna shut the door again quickly so she couldn't be hit. "As for the rest of you dry off a bit and come in to eat something."

No one had eaten yet. The boys got up and went straight to filling up balloons and the girls were going to stop somewhere while walking to the shops. Susanna threw out some towels and shut the door. After drying off everyone was inside getting some food and re-planning what to do for the day.

After shopping for furnishings Loretta and Nikki got to painting. Loretta drew an outline on the dresser then both girls painted it, along with warrior stripes on their faces. They went in just to get out of the sun for a while. Both were sitting in the kitchen with glasses of iced tea when Bradin came by.

"I thought you said you were painting the dresser, nightstand, what ever it is."

"We did." said Nikki turning to face Bradin then Loretta leaned out a bit so she could see him as well

"Who are you two supposed to be chief of the tribe?"

Loretta crossed her hand in front of her

"Ugg a woo!" she said and bowed her head

"Wait so you two did paint it."

"Yea well Loretta did most of it."

"I can tell you couldn't draw a stick figure."

"Really I …Hey!"

"Well Nikki and I are going to clean up so Ill see you later." Said Loretta

"Yea see ya." said Nikki Loretta yet again crossed her arms

"The chiefs have spoken." she and Nikki walked out laughing

Bradin laughed a bit "Those two are crazy".

"Who?" can a voice from behind him he turned to see Jay "Loretta and Nikki?"

"Yea, have you seen them their faces are painted up like Indians. I thought the point was to get the paint on the dresser."

"Well yea, but have you seen how happy Nikki is since she got here. I mean yea she's only been here two days but…"

"I know. It's still wired though having another person in the house."

"I know I forgot she was here earlier. She scared the living daylights out of me last night."

"What she do?"

"Nothing I was down here and she came down just I didn't recognize her at first. I was thinking you were hiding girls in you room Bradin."

Both guys laughed a bit.

"Well this was all Nikki's idea. I just think she's happy to have another girl somewhat around her age in the house."

'Yea I think your right."

"Still we have a lot to learn about Loretta." both guys looked out window seeing the girl's laughing as Nikki was putting more paint designs on Loretta's face.
