Eight Years Later
"Lindsay…Lindsay"
Lindsay could hear someone knocking on the door to her small bedroom. 'Just ignore it Lindsay' she told herself.
"Yoo-hoo…Lindsay…WAKE UP" Penelope yelled as Lindsay fell out of her bed and banged her head on the hard wood floor.
"Lindsay get ready…you need to make us breakfast…and get ready to help Rachael out with the cleaning today" Penelope squeaked out.
"Okay…Okay I'm up" Lindsay yelled back.
…………………………………………………………..
"Straight after my Dad died Penelope decided the country wasn't really for her. So she packed up our things, sold the Ranch and moved all the way to New York City. She then bought a cleaning business, which of course I work in. After and sometimes before school, I go to what ever house Penelope tells me that I need to go and clean and help out Rachael "
……………………………………………………………
"LINDSAY!" Penelope yelled again
"Coming" Lindsay said running to find Penelope sitting at the huge dinning table. On the opposite side of her were Brianna and Gabriella.
"Girls Jason wants you outside for your fitness training" Penelope said calmly with a smile plastered on her face.
"Okay Mom" The girls said in unison.
"Lindsay its breakfast time. Where's my breakfast?" Penelope ordered as Lindsay placed the plate in front of her. "This boiled egg is runny. I must have my egg boiled for six minutes. Did you boil the egg for six minutes?"
Lindsay nodded her head slowly.
"Lindsay you are so incompetent. I asked you to do one small thing and you can't even do that. And you want to go into Forensics when you're older" Penelope yelled "Just go and help Rachael and the others cleaning up this place a few streets away from here "
Lindsay nodded as she picked up her school bag on the way out. Before she left Lindsay passed the gym Penelope had made for her daughters.
"Okay girls…now right and left" Jason their fitness instructor told them as he stepped right and left.
Somehow they had gotten there right and left's mixed up and ended up bashing into each other.
"That's right and that's left" Brianna pointed out.
"I though he meant his right and left" Gabriella told her sister.
"Your and idiot" Brianna yelled "I can't work like this"
Lindsay hurried past them shaking her head.
……………………………………………………………..
Lindsay walked to the front door of a mansion.
"This is going to take a while" Lindsay told herself as she knocked on the door. A few seconds past and Rachael came to the front door.
"Lindsay what are you doing here Honey" Rachael said putting her hands on her hips.
"Penelope wanted me to come and help before school starts"
Rachael nodded her head, not looking to happy as Bobby came down the stairs.
"Hey Lindsay." Bobby greeted
"Hey" Lindsay said with a smile.
"Hey you want to come and help me with the upstairs room?" Eleanor asked Lindsay as she hurried past her.
"Yeah" Lindsay made her way up the stairs
"Lindsay!" Rachael yelled up the stairs.
Lindsay leaned over the banister to look down at Rachael.
"I don't want you to stay here you need to get to school. You're not going to spend more than half an hour here. You got me?"
Lindsay laughed to herself "Yeah I got it".
………………………………………………………………
An hour later Lindsay was kneeling down on the bathroom floor scrubbing.
"Lindsay Honey, what are you still doing here?" Rachael asked
"I'm almost done. " Lindsay replied
"You're going to be late for school" Rachael said taking the scrubbing brush out of Lindsay's hand.
"I will get there. If I don't finish Penelope would go ballistic." Lindsay said standing up and putting her hands on her hips.
"I couldn't care less about Penelope. What I care about is your education" Rachael said dragging Lindsay out of the bathroom.
"But I…" Lindsay was cut off by Rachael
"From what I heard, your Dad would want you at school not here"
"…Bobby" Lindsay said as she was being carried down the stairs by Bobby who decided to join in.
"No more buts" Bobby said as he put Lindsay down next to the front door.
" You leave Penelope and her big butt to me…get" Rachael said as she handed Lindsay her school bag.
"Thanks Rach. Bobby" Lindsay Nodded her head and left for school.
