A/N: This is dedicated to Niki Happy Belated Birthday!!! Have fun in the sun… on your computer typing up a story ha-ha!!! Does secret handshake then throws away the Wrappers!! Oh yah, this is also for kettle corn; you filled my stomach when it was empty, I'll see you again in a couple of days!!! Did I mention James is NOT a vampire?!?! On WiTh ThE sHoW!!!

I directed James to my car. It wasn't that hard to find because it was the biggest piece of junk in the whole parking lot. Now was the time I really did wish Edward had gotten me an Audi. James was gave me the directions to her house which wasn't very far away from the school.

I was surprised when we arrived at her house; it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. James had a huge family that always brought strays like me with them. She had told me earlier not to be surprised if there were ten kids instead of the regular four. James said her mom always said they were going to go a day with just the family at home but it never happened.

When we went through the door the phone was ringing. James raced to grab it.

"Hello...Oh Pete, I'm so sorry, I totally forgot to say I got a ride…I said I'm sorry! I forgot okay? I gotta go, bye Pete see you at home… yah bye!

She turned to me and rolled her eyes, "Big brothers ya gotta hate to love 'em."

I just smiled; I had always wanted a big brother, or any sibling for that matter. I always imagined having ten times more fun with even one. But alas, it seems that would always be just a dream in my head.

"So, I think first we'll start with the grand tour, but we have to hurry because we won't be alone for long and then we better skedaddle if we don't want to be heckled."

Whatever's fine with me, I'm just glad I'm actually doing something besides driving."

"Oh, just you wait you'll love my room, it's a reader's paradise. The chair took me forever to find."

She gave me the "grand" tour of her small house. They somehow managed with only five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Every room was different, but they were all filled with bright colors and lots of art. In every room there were paintings, drawings, sculptures, or pottery done by someone in the family.

"Okay now before we do anything you'll have to sign a contract. It's nothing big it's just that my mom decided that if anyone has to live here they would have to follow a few rules. Oh and keep in mind my mom thinks she's funny, she's like a little kid in a way."

She went to a white cabinet, pulled open its doors, opened up a folder, and took out a sheet of paper. Then she went over to the counter and got a pen.

I looked at the contract it said:

I the undersigned will follow all the rules listed below or suffer the consequences:

!. I will bow down to the artful master that is so beautifully named Rachel Parker.

2. I will clean up after myself and never leave a mess, and if the master left a mess I will willingly pick it up with my own two feet.

3. I will get a job and not be a lazy bum.

4. I will give a predetermined amount of money to help pay the bills.

5. I will try and seize the day at least once a day.

6. Did I mention I would do whatever the master asks?

Signed Date

It looked reasonable enough so I signed it and handed it back to James. She shoved it into a manilla envelope and wrote my name and a few other things on top.

Just as she came back from putting it in her mom's room the door slammed open. And with the slam came about ten kids; all different ages, genders, shapes and sizes. I had never seen this amount of chaos ever.

"JAMES!" a tall, older, good looking boy boomed.

"Yes, Petey?"

"I thought I told you to wait for me to take you home! Do you know how worried I was? I can't believe you would do that! You are never this irresponsible!" Whoa I was surprised how much this sounded like my conversation with Renee.

James' eyes got all watery as she answered. "I'm sorry I just met a new friend at school and she had a truck and she needed directions so she could come over."

Pete loosened at her words and tears. "James I'm sorry I yelled it's just hard to keep track of all this. Next please wait for me so you can tell me that's all I ask."

"I'm sorry", was all she said as she went in for a hug. It was funny even though it felt awkward to just stand there it wasn't because everyone else was doing something different, and none were fazed by the conversation that had just gone on.

"So who's your friend?" he said it like this happened everyday though I detected a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Oh, geez, sorry Bella, this is Peter or Pete, my older brother. Pete this is Bella, she just moved here from Washington. And don't get ANY ideas she's taken." Pete blushed at that.

"You are truly sick my dear, what do you want for supper?"

"Anything except, TACOS, TACOS, TACOS!" I had no idea what this girl was saying half the time.

"Well you can watch anything except Reno 911! I'll call you up when the food's ready."

"Kay I'll be in my room with Bella." Then James went down to her room ahead of me. I turned to go, but Pete stopped me. He turned me around to look at his pleading eyes.

"Hey Bella?"

"Yah?"

"Thanks for doing this, she never brings friends home so please be nice." So that's why he was surprised.

"She's a great girl; I don't think I would ever let myself be mean to her." He looked relieved.

"Thanks, don't forget to play nice."

"I won't!" I called behind myself as I hurried down the stairs.

Bad idea, I stumbled and fell down the stairs. At the landing I met someone at the door who stared right into my eyes.

A/N: Ohhh, another cliffy. Anyways I'm doing an Edward chap next so that will take me two days, I think. I will try my hardest to get it to you tomorrow though. Oh, this is also dedicated to my dead bird Petey (Peter Pan). If only the cleaning lady hadn't poisoned you to death…. Well then I would have, because you are really annoying. Oh, well I love you. Until next time.

ANDIE OUT!!!!
