Nan texted them the time and address where they would meet to go to Mina's house. She had called Sara, who thought it was a wonderful idea and they could have it in the downstairs room.

Nan waited the next morning until Mina had left for school before using the spare key Sara had told her about to drop off supplies. She practically danced outside and forced herself to act normal around the boys while in school with Mina.

Hours later, Nan waited outside the mall for the boys to meet her. She wasn't surprised when they both pulled up in Brody's car; Nick didn't have a license.

She tapped on the window and it rolled down. "Hey! Alright so just a heads up, Mina lives in a mansion now. But don't make a big deal out of it cuz she doesn't like attention. Deal?"

"Sure," Brody said from the driver's side.

"Nick," Nan gave him a strong look.

He huffed. "Fine." He tried to pout instead of smile because he had been to the Grimm mansion before.

"Thank you, now follow me." She hopped back into her car and the boys followed.

Nan pulled up and Brody saw her crawl halfway out of her window to reach the box. She typed a few buttons and the gates opened.

Brody stared open mouthed when they pulled through. The house was beautiful, a mix between different centuries in a perfect blend. It was as big as his own house. He looked at Nick's casual face. "Have you been here before?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"I needed Mina to... tutor me. Yeah, that's right, tutor. I needed her help," he explained.

Brody nodded slowly. He parked his car behind a tree like Nan did and they met up. Despite the chilly night weather of mid autumn, she wore a jean skirt with a cute blue form-fitting tshirt with a denim vest and ankle high cowgirl boots. Brody only wore his designer jeans and a white button up shirt while Nick didn't bother at all. He had on a green shirt with his letterman sports jacket and shorts.

They walked up to the door, and Nan tried to open it but the door handle wouldn't budge.

She huffed. Brody stepped forward, "Do you want hel-"

"No, I know exactly what the problem is," she interrupted and put her hand on her hip. "Charlie Grime! You open this door right now or I will happily add cottage cheese to the cake I make you every year for your birthday!"

Nick was laughing and Brody smiled, but didn't get joke until the door opened. A little boy stood in the doorway, wearing an Avengers shirt. He changed his disgusted face to one of pure innocence.

"Charlie!" Nan scolded and walked inside, ruffling his hair as she passed. Nick held up his hand and Charlie jumped, high fiving it, just barely. Brody walked in next and he got a quizzical look from the boy.

"Hi, I'm Brody," he held out his hand.

Charlie shook it exaggeratedly, as a little boy would, but didn't say anything. Nick walked back to murmur in his ear.

"He doesn't speak."

"Oh," Brody nodded.

Charlie looked at Nick as if asking who Brody was.

"He's our friend from school and on my water polo team, remember?" Charlie smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Yes, he is the one I alway brag about beating," Nick laughed at Brody's mock outraged face, but was cut short by a voice.

"Charlie? What are you doing?" They heard Mina's voice come from the hall before the stairs started their descent.

Charlie shooed them towards an open door where Nan had disappeared to. They heard Mina coming but Charlie banged twice on the wall to signal he was fine and would return in a minute.

Nan was fluttering around the room, making every detail perfect. Brody hooked up the speakers as he was instructed to do and Nan texted Sara to bring Mina downstairs. They all crouched behind the sofa when they heard her coming.

"Jeez mom, what's going on? I never come down here and now you want me to dress up to- NAN TAYLOR THIS BETTER NOT BE A PARTY!" She wasn't even halfway down the stairs.

When she hit the last step Nan jumped up excitedly and the boys followed. "Surprise!" She squealed.

"Nan!" Mina put her hand on her hip. She was wearing jeans and a ruffly mint green shirt. She loved Nan, but a party? Who on earth would even come? Then she saw Nick and finally Brody.

"Nice house," he said. Nan was changing the song and Nick had already found the pizza and chips Nan had laid out.

"Um, thanks," Mina didn't know what to do. Why was Brody Carmichael in her house?

Mina walked over to Nan. "Can I just talk to you for a teensy weensy minute please?" Her voice was too sweet.

"Nah Mina, I'm good!" Nan started bobbing her head to the music.

"Nan!" Mina grabbed her arm and pulled her into the corner. "Why did you invite Brody?"

"Actually he kinda invited himself," Nan shrugged. "But come on, Mina! You've been so down lately, just have some fun!"

"Nan, I love you, but really I don't need a party," Mina said.

"Nope, sorry girlie, you're stuck with us," Nan smiled proudly.

Mina sighed. "Alright fine. But did you really have to do all this?" She motioned to the room. It was true, Nan had gone all out. The downstairs was huge, certainly too big for only a four person party. Nan had ordered boxes and boxes of large pizza, with soda and desserts. Decorations and balloons were all over the place and a CD player with two huge speakers was in the corner. Nan really had gone super overboard this time.

"Maybe I went a little too far, but oh well," she shrugged. "You'll just have pizza every night for a couple weeks."

"Nan, even if I ate pizza for every meal, everyday, it would still take weeks!"

"Hey," they looked up to see Brody standing awkwardly between them.

"I think I'll have some, actually." Nan casted Mina a sly glance and walked away, abandoning Mina to her old crush.

Before the silence between them could get too awkward, a very loud obnoxious voice interrupted them.

"Geez, Grimey, it's rude to not invite people to a party!" Mina looked up in horror as she heard the click of Savannah White's heels on the stairs.
