"UGG!" Hayley groaned throwing herself on her bed.

"Sorry I don't speak caveman." Justin said with a laugh.

Hayley rolled her eyes and ignored his last comment. "I can't believe she has only been here a day and she is driving me mad!" Hayley exclaimed.

"Yeah and she's not the brightest candle in the bunch." Justin said nodding.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going to do something about it." Hayley said and she got off her bed and walked out of the room.

Annabelle, Shannon, and Belle walked into Justin and Hayley's room. "Justin, could you help us?"

"Depends. What is it?" Justin asked.

"We need help finding the hidden message in these letters." Shannon said.

"What? Why?" Justin asked quizzically raising his eyebrow at them finding this rather peculiar.

"They are from Tanner and you know how much he likes puzzles. Well certain words are underlined and we can't do all these letters at once." Belle explained.

"Alright I wouldn't want to make you all beg. Lay them down here." Justin instructed.

They nodded and spread the letters out on the floor.

The first one and the earliest one read:

Dearest Belle, (Who am I kidding writing that?)

I am writing to you from a train from somewhere… well I'll get back to you on that. I'm sorry, but I won't be coming home anytime soon. I just can't deal with mom anymore, )I mean dad's ok) I only got caught in one drug bust and I only hexed a few teachers okay 7, but that's not the point. When was that drug bust when I was 16 and went on a little road trip to a muggle inhabited place where no one knew where I went except you. Oh boy did I get in a lot of trouble for that, but hey I was young then I've matured a lot since then. Well not as much as you, but seriously who IS as mature as you!? It's getting really bumpy now so I find it very difficult to write now.

Much love,

Tanner

The next letter read:

Dear Issa,

Well I'm on yet another train. I'm sorry you can't send letters to me right now, but I promise I'll send you the address when I finally settle.

P.S. You're the best! I know it's short, but you know trains they get bumpy.

Yet the next letter read:

Dear Issa,

Miss me? Bet 'cha did! Anyway, good news I finally found a place took me long enough right? It's 64 Mill Street burrows, NYC. Don't expect a reply right away I'll be trying to find some job opening ,wish me luck! Oh how selfish of me! I didn't ask how you were. So, how are you? Good, I hope everyone's doing ok. Yeah as you can aleady tell I have learned some slang here. Currently I'm in America, NYC to be precise. It stands for New York City. Weird name I know, but I love it here.

Love ya,

Tanner

Dear Issa,

Don't you just love my letters? I fully enjoyed your letter, but whoa do you write a lot! Try not to write a whole essay next time, huh? Yes, I did get a job, but don't get too excited. I just work the cash register at a muggle store. Not really that exciting sometimes I wish we had a robbery it would be cool! I know it's not a thing one would wish for, but I'm so bored I'm dying! I Know you think I need to grow up, but when don't you think that? In my opinion you just need to lighten up, live a little! Hey, who listens to me anyway?

The ignored and bored,

Tannet

Dear Issa,

God! Don't worry! I swear you're becoming more like mom everyday. It's really beginning to scare me. You always scare me and I scare you it's a whole cycle, you know? Look out for the younger ones, which I know you will. Anyway, I think it's interesting that Annabelle wrote about me even though I'm not the slightest bit interesting as she writes me out to be, but, hey, she's gifted! Ha! I knew Justin would crack! I'm telling you he was just too good to be true! In my opinion it wasn't Hayley's fault he had it coming! Although I'll defend Hayley 'till the end of time her pranks are awesome! Unless she does them on me then she's dead meat! Ahh Tyler, I miss him even though he really gets on my nerves. Shannon, she knows everything that goes on she's amazing! Ian. I still think he needs to do find other things to do than quidditch although he does bug Annabelle. Dylan and Rachelle, they are two peas in a pod I would hate to see them split up. Anyway, I'm fine as fine as fine can be. Wow I said fine a lot in that sentence!

Doing just fine,

Tanner

Dear Issa,

For the last time don't worry yourself! Geesh! Are you paranoid?! Ok well now that we've got that out in the open. I LOVE NYC! There's pretty ladies, prety ladies, oh and did I mention pretty ladies? I know you're rolling your eyes at me right now, but hey ity's the truth. I only tell the truth you should know! Well. Most of the time anyway… I'm feeling very tired I just worked a double shift so I'm going to bed.

Immensely tired,

Tanner

"Home I'll be don't you worry yourself? That's not proper grammer." Justin said.

"No you dunder head! We unscrambled it, it's I'll be home don't you worry yourself." Shannon said

"Right. I knew that I was just checking to see if you did."

"Riight." Shannon rolled her eyes.

"It sounds as if he had been planning on coming back…" Annabelle said trailing off.

"even though he said he wouldn't." Belle finished for her.

"SHANNON! Get your butt over her!" Hayley yelled. Shannon sometimes was her partner in crime when it comes to pranks well the ones that she does at home anyway.

"What is your problem!?" Shannon yelled back.

"Could you two stop yelling?" Justin asked in a shout.

"No!" They both yelled in unison.

"Just get in here!" Shannon yelled.

"Ok!" Hayley chirped and she was in the room in half a second.

"How'd you - Oh never mind. What did you want?" Shannon asked.

A mischievous grin appeared on her face. "I have a plan for our little friend Patty…"

"Oh! I love how you come up with all these plans! Tell me! Tell me!" Shannon begged.

"Ahem… what is this all about?" Justin asked suspiciously knowing Hayley was plotting one of those evil little schemes of hers.

"Relax Justin. I'm just getting justice." Hayley said.

"Well.. I do have a strong dislike for Patty…" Belle said considering joing in on Hayley's little plan for the first time.

"So… everyone in?" Hayley asked.

Everyone nodded, Belle and Justin were hesitant at first, but they soon both nodded.

"Alright! Shannon, gather the troops!" Hayley ordered.

"Yes Lee lee sir!" Shannon saluted.

"Uh… NEVER call me Lee lee again! Understood?"

Shannon nodded and ran out of the room, then within minutes everyone else was gathered.

"Alright here's the plan… Tyler you are up stairs, then go get Annabelle's rat… then Shannon you go…" Hayley started instructing laying out a whole mapped out plan.

Justin shook his head. "If only she could be this serious about school…" He muttered to himself

The plan in action

"Ok go! Tanner's out so this is perfect! Places everyone places!" Hayley ordered in a whisper like shout.

"Hayley, do we really have to fight over a stupid broomstick can't I go with Rache?!" Dylan complained.

"It's not stupid!" Ian said defensively hugging his broomstick tightly to his chest. "Don't listen to him he didn't mean it." He whispered to his broomstick.

"Yes it is!" Dylan said.

"It's good for this!" Ian said hitting Dylan over the head with his broomstick.

"Ouch!" Dylan said rbbing his head vigorously where the broomstick hit him. "Oh you're going to get it!" he said and pushed him down. Before you knew it they were both wrestling each other on the floor.

"Keep it up boys!" Hayley said then walked away towards Shannon. "Ok Shannon do your stuff!"

Shannon nodded and ran downstairs yeling, "Mom! Dad! Ian and Dylan are fighting!"

Within minutes Ron and Hermione were upstairs.

Meanwhile downstairs

Rachelle walked towards Patty with a bucket of slime who knows where she got it from. "Whoa!" She said as she casually tripped over her own two feet and the bucket flew in the air and the slime covered Patty's face and and a little slime was on the front of her shirt. "Oh I am so sorry!" Rachelle said trying her best to sound sorry while getting back up on her own two feet.

"That's ok accidents happen…" Patty said wiping the slime off of the front of her. Just as she was about to ask why she was carrying slime around Hayley came with a towel in her hand.

"Oh Rachelle! You klutz!"Hayley scolded as Rachelle walked out of the room. "Here." She said handing Patty a towel.

"Oh how sweet!" Patty said in a sickingly sweet as honey tone, she took the towel. Little did Patty know that the towel had postacchio pudding on the side she was wiping off her face with. Hayley managed not to laugh.

Tyler made his way in the room giving Justin a cue to come in.

Soon enough Justin came down to distract Patty. "Hey you know most models go on diets. Do you? It looks like you've been putting on a litle weight."

"Well I treat myself once in awhile…" Patty said starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.

While Justin kept on going on Tyler found time to put the rat on her foot he then slowly walked away and it started to climb up her leg until…

"Ahh! A rat! Get it off me!" Patty squealed.

"Oh so that's where Monty was… sorry about that… Belle, Annabelle I found Monty!" Hayley called to her sisters.

"Monty?" Patty questioned trying her best not to lose it after they were just children.

"Yep! Nice name isn't it? I thought so." Annabelle said walking into the room followed by Belle.

"Look, Monty, cheese!" Belle said waving it in front of the black and white rat.

Monty's eyes widened he got off Patty and went onto Belle to get the cheese.

"That's a boy!" Annabelle said picking up Monty and petting him while he nibbled on the cheese.

Suddenly they heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"That can't be good." Justin said.
