They were lying in Gail's bed. Holly with her head on Gail's stomach, and Gail playing with Holly's hand. Holly had told her story about the move to Gail.

"Wow, so you really didn't know when we left camp last week." Gail realizes.

"No"

"How do you feel about the move, not that I'm going to complain."

"Me either, but I don't think it has sunk in yet. You realize this time last week we were at camp packing to go home. But I think it's going to be okay, especially since I'm going to see you every day." Holly says turn up to kiss Gail.

"Oh, sorry." Gail hears Steve.

"Steve what are you doing home." Gail says half panicked glad it wasn't her mom, since it was Steve she don't even bother to move, but Holly sits up.

"Class cut short. So you must be the girlfriend" he says and looks at Holly.

"Mm yeah" Holly says carefully looking at Gail.

"Holly this is my brother Steve. Steve this is my girlfriend Holly" Gail says with a smile gazing at Holly. Steve comes in to the room walk up to Holly and gives her a short hug, Holly with a choked expression on her face. "Steve you do understand the concept of Holly being my girlfriend not yours."

"Yes, very much so, but since you came home from summer camp you've been smiling like a dork, so I had to thank the girl who do that to my sister. Nice to meet, see you two later. Have homework to do." he says while living the room.

"Hey, what did you want" Gail asks before he live the room.

"We take that later" he says goes out of the room and close the door. Holly leans back at Gail now that they are alone again.

Holly turn to Gail "He knows?"

"Yeah, he figured it out, don't know how, but I'm kind of glad he did, I think. He told me yesterday, after you and I talked, while we were out running kind of thru me of for a moment." And she pulls Holly in a hug and lies down on the bed.

"He seam nice, not quite how you described him" Holly says.

"You haven't lived with him your whole life and you meet him a minute ago."

"Do you have any idea how he knows about us"

"He probably was snooping through my phone, if not I have no idea. And I'm not asking because he will not tell me that I'm sure of." Holly looks up at Gail and is about to ask why. "Because he likes to torture me when I can't figure things out and I'm his little sister."

"Not cool of him, but I guess that's what siblings do." Gail sighs as a yes.

"Back to the move, how the hell did you manage to pack everything in just four days?"

"My parents had already stat packing when I got home. Otherwise I don't we think would have. Now we just have to unpack."

"Want some help?"

"Would you?" Holly asks and looks at Gail who nods a yes. "Tomorrow, I know my parents what to see you."

"Tomorrow have to meet up with Tracy after school, she wants help with something. But maybe I can come over after." Holly nods and kisses Gail.

Gail wakes by a knock on the door. She realizes Holly is half lying on her sleeping. They must have fallen asleep when talking. "Gail you there" her mom says.

"A second" Gail says trying to get lose for Holly, but her mom opens the door sees them, she stops for a second and says "I was wondering if Holly is staying for dinner."

"Don't know think so" she answers carefully

"Dinner is in five." Elaine says when she closes the door. And Gail feels Holly moving and she can feel that Holly is looking up at her.

"Gail, what is it?" Holly asks when sees Gail confused face.

"You just missed my mom. Are you staying for dinner?"

"If it's okay, I like to. But you have a strange look on your face."

"Could be because mom just said you name when she asked if you were staying for dinner."

"Steve maybe told her."

"His room is on the next floor, mom always comes to tells me before going up to Steve. And he is doing homework and then we are only to interrupt him when it's time to eat."

"So you mean he didn't say anything" Gail just nods. "Then you mom must have superpowers" Gail lets out a laugh.

"That would be scary; but I have actually considered it before. Come lets go down it dinner." Getting up from the bed and give Holly a helping hand and kisses her when she's standing. And they head downstairs to dinner.

"Time to meet the Pecks" Holly says quietly to herself, realizing she is getting little nervous about dinner.

When Gail and Holly come in to the kitchen Gail noticed her dad wasn't there. "Are dad still at work?" she asked her mom.

"He is coming any minute he got stuck at a meeting. He said not to wait. Hi, I'm Elaine."

"Holly. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. Dinner is ready" Gail takes Holly to the table and she pulls out a chair for Holly and then take a seat on Holly's left. When Elaine puts the last plate on the table they here the front door open.

"Hey, that was a long day." Bill says coming in to the room. "It smells good" he says and takes a seat when he notices Holly. "You must be a friend of Gail's" Holly nods for an answer. "I'm Bill"

"Holly" after that introduction everyone take food to their plates and starts eating.

"You two go to school together?" Bill asked.

"We have a couple of classes together." Holly says.

"And we are lab partner in kem-class" Gail continues.

"And it works well?" Elaine asks.

"Yeah it does so far. Mom you do know school started yesterday."

"I know, just thought you were worked together last year too."

"I just moved hear two days ago. And I had my first day at school today." Holly says.

"Oh, Gail must like you then. We rarely get to meet Gail's friends she known for years."

"Yes mom I do and we meet at camp so we already knew each other."

"You didn't say that anyone from camp was starting in your school" Elaine says shooting Gail a glare.

"Well I couldn't have since she surprised me at school today at lunch. And she only found out a week ago, same day we came home from camp."

"Oh, wow". Steve says coming in the room and take a seat opposite Holly. "I call that a speed move and a big surprise I wouldn't take well."

"You doesn't take anything well." Gail teases him.

"Well I like my life here so no. I hope you did a big protest."

"Not really, it was a move we needed; we have been through somethings there that's not fun in a small town where everyone knows things like that" Holly says with a hint of sadness in her voice. "Plus they told me I was going to the same school as Gail so that helped a lot knowing I knew someone" sounding more positive.

"I could imagine." Steve says with a knowing look between Gail and Holly. He notice Gail looks down at the plate and Holly doing the same thing with a small smile on their faces.

"Can I ask what happened?" Bill asks carefully.

"Bill!" Elaine says giving Holly a forgiving look.

"You could but the chans of my answering is slim to none."

"Then I won't ask" Bill says.

"Good" Gail says being a bit irritated at her dad for even asking.

After dinner Holly and Gail is back in Gail's and in the bed going thru the homework from kem-class. "I'm sorry for my dad before" Gail says.

"It's okay. At least they didn't ask any other questions about it trying to find out more. Most people don't know when to stop asking."

"Still, sometimes my family likes to stick their nose where it doesn't belong."

"That's only because they care, you know."

"I know, but they like to know everything all the time. It's a bit annoying." Taking her and Holly's books putting them on the nightstand beside the bed, Holly giving her a wondering glance. "It's one other reason I like to keep us on the low right now, if I tell Tracy or any of my friends my parents will probably know the same day. And I'm not ready for that yet."

"It's okay for now, but I don't like to hide my feeling for you. I'm not that good at hiding my feelings for people."

"Just give me a couple of days"

"Gail, I'm not pushing, I hope you know that."

"I know. But I don't think I can hide my feeling either for too long." Gail says looking down on their hands she took hold of after putting away the books. When Gail looks up again, she sees that Holly has a big smile on her face. Holly puts her arm around Gail's neck and kisses her dragging them both down lying on the bed.

After a while Holly and Gail decided to go downstairs to watch a movie. They start picking out a movie and the rest of the Peck family joins them. Everyone wants to see different movies. "We probably end up watching one of Steve's movies again he never let us chooses" Gail whispers to Holly.

"Isn't it the guest that should pick the movie" Holly jokes quietly to Gail.

"You right" Gail answer back. "Pecks, I think Holly chooses the movie tonight since she is the guest." They others agree after little persuading up of Steve.

"Wait a second that was Holly who gave you the idea" Steve says after a minute.

"You bet she did" Gail says with a smile. "Otherwise we would end up watching one of you boring movies again." They laughs at Steve's face when he realizes Gail tricked him in to letting Holly choose the movie.

When she found a movie she wants to watch, they take a seat Holly and Gail in the small couch. Bill and Elaine take place in the big couch.

"You are brave still being here and is about to watch a movie with us" Steve says to Holly, when he takes a seat in the one man couch.

"Why's that?" Holly asks.

"Last one who took part of a family dinner basely ran out of here."

"Steve stop exaggerate" Elaine says and gives him a look that tells him to behave.

"What it's true."

"You do remember that it was your girlfriend and not mine." Gail says without thinking. Both Holly and Gail freezes when they realize what Gail just said.
