As soon as the words uttered from Concordia's mouth, Angie had stopped the car.

"Whooo! We're finally here! Enough Angie!" Concordia squealed.

"Excuse me, Concordia?"

"Um, nothing."

"Good. This is your house."

Concordia stared at the building for what seemed like centuries. "This...". She stared at the paint, the signs, the fences, the height, the every single detail of the building. "This is... our... new... home..."

Anthea came out of the car and shrieked. "WHAT IS THIS PLACE?"

N was the third to come out. "What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What... What..."

"Okay, N, you can stop saying 'What' now..."

"This place is awesome!" he exclaimed. "I LOVE IT! AWESOME!"

Concordia and Anthea stared at N for a very long time, then back at the castle.

"Uh, you're kidding right?" Concordia asked.

"I'm scared... This place looks shady..."

"EEK! LET US IN, ANGIE!" N squealed.

"Alright, then..." Angie clicked on the buzzer.

As they stepped in, the first thing N saw was a huge ship behind it.

"Whoa! A ship! And it looks so awesome too!"

"Dang! This place is huge!" Concordia screamed.

"Don't scream, please."

"EEEEEEEK! It's soooo dark!" Anthea shrieked.

"Right. Welcome to the... 'house'"

"Who's our father?" Anthea asked.

"Call over N, and I'll show you. Stay here, girls. I'll get him, actually."

Anthea shivered at the thought of a windowless castle, and Concordia walked over.

"Hey, Anthea." she whispered. "Do you get the idea..."

"What? Monsters, in my bed? Connie-san! You're scaring me!"

"No, we were adopted... into a villainous organization?"

"W-w-what makes you think th-th-th-that?"

"Um, I dunno, this place looks like a dark place, it's huge, but nobody's playing outside or even outside at all, and look at the ship!"

Anthea glances over to the ship, where Angie is literally running around trying to stop N from getting anywhere with important stuff in it.

"You're right... What sort of castle with no people going outside has a ship in it? That's just crazy!"

"No, you idiot." Concordia sighs. "The cannons, Anthea, the cannons!"

"Oh, yeah... I wonder if there are any kids here?"

Oh, the joy of having a sister who's an optimist!
