(A/N): It's been a while since I've updated! Sorry about that.

"Let's see…Luca Sanders! What is four-hundred sixty-five times twenty-four?" The young teacher asked as she stared down at Luca. Without missing a beat Luca answered her.

"Eleven-thousand one hundred and sixteen." Luca said as his teacher smiled brightly at him.

"Very good. Well, it's almost time for recess so pack up your things and line up at the door." Ms. Myers said as all the kids quickly put their things away and ran to the door.

"Hey Luca!" A brown cat with shaggy hair and red eyes said as he walked over to Luca.

"Hey Brian." Luca said as Brian lined up behind him. Brian was Luca's in-class friend. Luca would hang out with him when he didn't hang out with Nessa or Aiden. They attended at school that went from kindergarten to eighth grade so Luca could still hang out with Aiden. The bell rang and both boys walked out to the soccer field as Nessa walked over shyly.

"Hello Nessa." Brian said as he stood close by her. Brian had the biggest crush on Nessa, but she was completely oblivious to it.

"Brian." Aiden said as Brian stepped away from Nessa. Aiden stood between him and Nessa as he glared at Brian. Aiden didn't really hate Brian he was just doing to overprotective brother act to freak Brian out so he won't make a move on Nessa because he knew Alex liked her.

"Did your mom tell you we're going to Angel Island for Spring Vacation?" Nessa asked as Luca nodded. "Have you ever gone?" She asked.

"Nah neither has my mom, but my dad has and he doesn't seem to like it that much." Luca said as Aiden shrugged his shoulders.

"Our dad says it's pretty fun." Aiden said as Brian just stood off to the side staying silent. His eyes widened when he saw the school bully Andrew approaching. Before he could warn them he came by and pushed Luca.

"What's your problem?" Luca asked as he whipped around to face the slightly bigger German shepherd who had his teeth bared.

"Who do you think you are talking to my girlfriend?" He growled as Luca looked at him confused.

"Who?" Luca asked confused as he pointed to a familiar looking hedgehog. His eyes widened when he saw Michelle, Sean's sister, standing behind him. When did she get here? And why was she dating this jerk?!

"Michelle? I barely met her a couple a months ago!" Luca exclaimed as Andrew growled again.

"Watch yourself Sanders." Andrew said getting in his face.

"Gentlemen! Can't we just have a civil conversation without violence?" Aiden said stepping between them.

"Back off sixth grader!" Andrew growled as he stared up at Aiden.

"Oh really? You're talking back to a guy who's…let's see…five years older than you?" Aiden said as Andrew snorted.

"I could beat you up easily." He scoffed as Michelle sighed.

"Shut up! Aiden back off you're not apart of this." Luca said as Aiden put his hands up defensively and backed away.

"Remember he likes Michelle." Nessa whispered.

"Yes, but there was no need to be hostile towards me." Aiden whispered back as Nessa shrugged her shoulders.

"Lunch. You and me. By the swings." Andrew said getting in Luca's face.

"Bring it on." Luca growled before Andrew whipped around and stomped away with Michelle. He turned around as Nessa, Aiden, and Brian stared at him. "What?" Luca asked.

"Do you know you just scheduled a fight with your class bully?" Aiden asked as Luca shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm more concern about how Michelle got here and why no one told us. Text Sean and find out." Luca said as they started to walk to their classes since the bell rang.

"Why do I have to?" Aiden asked as Luca rolled his eyes.

"Because you're the only one out of all of us that has a phone." Luca said as Aiden smirked and whipped out his Motorola Razor.

"I know." He smirked as Nessa rolled her eyes.

"Just text Sean and then tell me at lunch." Luca said agitated as he and Brian walked into their second grade classroom.

"Shouldn't we stop it?" Nessa said as Aiden shrugged his shoulder.

"Luca is like Julian in a lot of ways. When he sets his sights on something he does it. Especially if it deals with someone they like." Aiden said as Nessa sighed.

"They're only eight." Nessa said as Aiden scoffed.

"So…you're eleven and so is Alex. You guys are practically professing your love all the time." Aiden said as Nessa gaped at him and blushed.

"No we're not!" Nessa exclaimed as her brother laughed. "You're one to talk. You can barely talk to Juliana." Nessa said as Aiden put his hands up defensively.

"I admit that, but she's popular. She can have any guys she wants. Why would she choose a guy all the way on the other side of the country?" He asked as Nessa shrugged her shoulders and walked into her classroom.

"Things happen." She said as Aiden sighed. He quickly texted Sean and walked into his class. He was trying to keep awake as his teacher talked about the stone-age when his phone vibrated. He slyly pulled it out and read Sean's message.

Oh, sorry I didn't tell you guys, but my sister missed me too much so my parents shipped her to my aunt's. She lives here now, but on the upper-east side. She's been at your school for a while. Sorry.

Aiden sighed as he stuffed his phone back into his pocket and raised his hand.

"Yes, Aiden?" Mr. Terrence asked.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" He asked as he put his hand down.

"I don't know. Can you?" Mr. Terrence asked as some of the class laughed. Aiden rolled his eyes as he rephrased his question.

"May I go to the bathroom?" He asked again as the teacher nodded. Aiden got up and grabbed the bathroom pass as he started to walk towards the second grade wing of the building. He stuck his face in the small window of the door and looked for Luca. He spotted him and started waving his hands in hopes to get Luca's attention. Luckily Luca spotted him and Luca quickly raised his hand. Aiden watched as he got up and grabbed the bathroom pass and walked out.

"What did Sean say?" Luca asked immediately.

"She moved here with her aunt because she missed Sean way too much. Sean forgot to tell us." Aiden said as Luca rolled his eyes. "I don't even know why you care so much. Elementary school relationships are nothing. It's practically just walking around and saying, 'Oh yeah, that girl is my girlfriend'. High School is where the real relationships happen. Maybe a little in middle school." Aiden said as Luca rolled his eyes.

"I like her ok? It just made me mad how he was getting in my way and being rude." Luca said as Aiden shrugged his shoulders.

"Well man, you better be ready to fight." Aiden said patting his shoulder. "Oh yeah and Nessa totally disapproves." Aiden said as Luca shrugged his shoulders. When lunch came around Luca was waiting by the swings for Andrew to show up.

"You don't have to do this Luca." Nessa said as she stood by him.

"Sure I don't have to, but I want to." Luca said as Aiden stood behind him and rubbed his shoulders.

"Ok, champ. You got this. Watch out for that right hook and go for the kill." Aiden said like a boxing coach. Luca rolled his eyes and pushed him off.

"Sanders!" Andrew yelled as Luca turned around. A crowd was following him as Luca glared at him. "You ready for this?" Andrew asked as Luca swiftly punched across the face. Andrew growled and grabbed Luca. Luca kicked him in the stomach making Andrew let go of his hold. He kicked him down to the sand. Andrew growled and got up and grabbed him and threw him towards the ground. Luca landed on his hand and flipped backwards. People cheered as Andrew glared at him. He swung at Luca, but Luca ducked down and threw an uppercut at him. Andrew stumbled back and hit his head against one of the metal beams.

"Oo…that gotta hurt." Aiden said as Nessa covered her eyes. Andrew charged Luca jumped over him as he stumbled to the ground. Luca turned around to see a fuming Andrew. Andrew charged him again and Luca ended up on the ground, but Luca quickly flipped Andrew over and started punching him in the face. Suddenly a whistle heard and kids started to run away.

"Break it up! Break it up!" A teacher yelled as he pulled Luca off Andrew. "You! To the principal's office now!" The teacher yelled at Luca as he looked at the teacher in disbelief. Andrew smirked before walking away. Luca growled before stomping away in anger.

"This is so unfair!" Luca exclaimed as he, Aiden, and Nessa walked to the principal's office.

"Yeah! You were winning!" Aiden said as Nessa elbowed him.

"I told you it was a bad idea." Nessa said as Luca sighed and walked into the office alone.

"Luca Sanders." The principal, Principal Clark, called out. Luca sighed and walked into his office. "I see that you and Andrew Peters got into a fight." Principal Clark said looking at Luca through his glasses.

"Yes sir." Luca gulped as Principal Clark gave a disapproving scowl.

"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask your parents to come here after school." Principal Clark said as Luca's eyes widened.

"M-My parents?" Luca stuttered nervously as Principal Clark typed something into his computer.

"Yes, Isabella Sanders and Julian the Hedgehog correct?" Mr. Clark said as Luca nodded. "You may call them from the office phone." Principal Clark said dismissively as Luca got up and walked into the school's main office. One of the assistants pushed the phone towards him. He dialed a very familiar phone number and placed the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" A familiar voice said.

"Hey Dad, um, I got in trouble today at school and the principal needs to see you and Mom after school's over." Luca said as he waited for a response.

"Luca? You do know this is Garrett. Don't you want to call Julian and Izzy…Oh! I see what you're getting at and I don't approve this behavior." Garrett said disapprovingly.

"So…you won't do it?" He whispered nervously.

"Of course I will! I just don't approve it." Garrett said as Luca sighed in relief.

"He wants to meet both of my parents. So please try to convince Cat." Luca whispered as he looked at the assistant who was busy on the computer.

"I got it down little man." Garrett said as Luca smiled.

"Thanks! I have to go bye!" Luca said in a rush. He hung up the phone and ran out of the office. He was grabbed by his collar and pulled back.

"What happened?" Aiden asked as Luca smirked.

"I got it covered." Luca said before walking into his class.

"That boy. I'm telling you he's just like Julian!" Aiden said as Nessa rolled her eyes. After school Luca waited in the parking lot as Aiden and Nessa left to walk home. He heard someone clear their throat and turned around to see Izzy and Julian…with a beard.

"Dad! Mom! Hey…" He said nervously.

"Garrett told me you got into trouble." Julian said as Luca looked down and shuffled with his feet.

"Uh…you see…um…" Luca said as Julian started laughed.

"Relax! It's me Garrett!" Julian or shall I say Garrett whispered as Luca sighed in relief. "We had Suzy help us out." Garrett said as Luca nodded.

"Hey Cat." Luca said as Garrett laughed nervously.

"Uh…that's not Cat. She had classes." Garrett said as Izzy glared at him.

"Oh…so who is it?" Luca asked.

"Renegade." Renegade growled out as Luca slapped his hand over his mouth. He laughed into his hand as Renegade growled.

"Stop laughing or I'll definitely tell Izzy." Renegade said in Izzy's feminine voice. Luca quickly stopped talking as they started to walk to the principal's office.

"So what did you exactly do?" Garrett asked as Luca smiled sheepishly.

"I kind of…got into a fight." He mumbled as Garrett and Renegade looked at him wide-eyed.

"You're eight!!" Garrett yelled as Luca shrugged his shoulders. "God, kids are getting to violent these days. I blame you!" Garrett said pointing at Renegade.

"Me? Why me?" Renegade said putting his hands on his chest. He quickly removed them when he remembered he was Izzy.

"If you weren't such a kickass fighter this kid won't be so inspired to do so." Garrett said throwing a dollar at Luca who caught it and stuffed it in his pocket.

"He hasn't even seen me fight before!" Renegade exclaimed crossing his arms, but pushing up his chest at the same time. He let out a frustrated sigh and threw his arms down to his sides.

"Did you at least win?" Garrett asked as Luca sighed.

"I was winning, but the teacher stopped us." He said as Garrett groaned.

"Why did you even get in a fight in the first place?" Renegade asked pulling at his bra. "How can girls wear these!?" Renegade exclaimed as Garrett laughed.

"It was over Michelle." He said as Renegade and Garrett stopped walking. "What?" Luca asked as he turned around.

"It was over a girl?!" Renegade and Garrett exclaimed.

"Yeah…" Luca trailed off.

"You're eight! You should think girls have cooties!" Garrett said as Luca rolled his eyes.

"As you may realize I'm not the normal eight-year-old." Luca said as Renegade rolled his eyes. "It's not my fault anyways. He was getting in my face and acting like a total dochebag." Luca said as he threw a dollar at Garrett who smiled happily. Renegade just pocketed his and rolled his eyes. They walked into the principal's office where Mr. Clark was waiting patiently by his desk.

"Ah, Ms. Sanders and Mr. Hedgehog. It's a pleasure to meet you." Principal Clark said standing from his desk and shaking both of their hands.

"I just wish it was on better circumstances." Garrett said as Luca sighed.

"As I'm sure you are aware of your son, Luca, got into a fight with another student. Our school does not accept this behavior." Mr. Clark said as Renegade nodded his head.

"We understand Principal Clark. Luca will be receiving to right punishment." Renegade said looking at Luca who looked down sadly.

"As I expect to happen, but we must give him a punishment here." Mr. Clark said as both "parents" nodded. "A week of lunch detentions. That is all." Mr. Clark said as Luca hid his sigh of relief.

"Thank you Mr. Clark." Garrett said as he shook his hand again. They all walked out as they sighed in relief.

"Please! Let's just go back! I feel so…violated." Renegade said as Garrett laughed. Alana was sitting in her bed as she fiddled with the stone around her neck.

"Uh…hi?" A nervous voice said as Alana sat straight up. She looked to see a pale yellow mongoose with short hair. She had light blue eyes and was translucent.

"AH!!" Alana yelled as she hid under her blankets.

"No! No! Please don't be scared!" The mongoose said as she waved her hands in front of her. "I'm here to help." She said as Alana looked at her confused. "I'm Anna. I'm your ancestor." She said as Alana looked at her even more confused.

"You're related to me?" Alana asked still keeping distance from her.

"No, no, no. I'm…uh…the previous owner of that necklace." Anna said pointing to the necklace around her neck.

"Um, do you want it back?" Alana asked awkwardly.

"No it's yours." Anna said as she floated onto her bed. "This must be very overwhelming." Anna said as Alana nodded. "Well, the stone you're wearing, it means peace." Anna said.

"What does this have to do with me?" Alana asked.

"Uh…it's hard to explain, but you, Cat, Shade, Lilac, and Black all have these stones. They'll soon come together to become a great power." Anna said as Alana simply nodded.

"What are you for?" Alana asked facing Anna.

"I'm here to be sort of like your mentor. To answer any questions you have. I'm also a friend." Anna said with a warm smile as Alana smiled back. "And right now I can tell you need a friend." Anna said placing her translucent hand over Alana's.

"Ok! We want to know what this whole stone thing is about." Serenity said as she, Ginger, Julian, Conner, and Derek sat at table with Cat, Black, Shade, and Lilac.

"Well…we don't know much about them ourselves." Shade said as Lilac nodded.

"What do you know?" Derek asked leaning forward.

"We all know what the symbols of our stone means and there are ten including Mason's. The whole group has one because he made copies, but they don't have the same power as his." Black said as Conner raised his eyebrow.

"So since we have it he doesn't have his power, right?" Conner asked as Cat shook her head.

"If the owner is still alive the stone will always return back to the owner." Cat said as Julian scowled.

"So, if you four and Mason have five. Who has the other five?" Ginger asked as they all shrugged their shoulders.

"We don't know." Lilac said as Serenity leaned forward.

"What is the point of the stones?" Serenity asked as the four exchanged glances.

"We don't even know." Shade said as the five looked at them incredulously.

"What?" Julian questioned as they shrugged their shoulders.

"Our ancestors haven't told us much." Black said as Shade, Lilac, and the other looked at him confused.

"Ancestors?" Shade asked in confusion.

"The ghost person." Cat said as Shade and Lilac nodded understanding.

"Ghost person?" Ginger asked.

"They were the previous owners of the stones. They help us with this and we all have dreams about their time with the stone." Lilac said as the other three nodded.

"Who are they exactly?" Derek asked as Cheka, Rosa, Gabriel, and a light pink fox with straight hair and shiny gray eyes appeared behind the four people.

"Ah!" Julian said falling out of his chair.

"Dude…you knew they were like ghosts." Conner said as Julian straightened himself up and sat back down.

"It's still scary." Julian muttered as Derek and Conner rolled their eyes.

"Cheka?" Serenity questioned as he waved at her. "He's your ancestor?" Serenity asked looking at Shade.

"Well…yeah. It's a long story on how we became friends." Shade said as Cheka nodded behind him.

"Cheka! Long time no see!" Gabriel said as he and Cheka high-fived. "I'm Gabriel by the way!" Gabe said as he waved at everybody. "This is Arianna." Gabriel said pointing to the light pink hedgehog.

"Hello." She said politely as she stood behind Cat and Gabriel stood behind Black.

"This is Rosa." Lilac said as Rosa bowed her head with a small smile.

"Let me get this straight. You all have ghostly friends who help you with these weird stones that you have no idea what they do." Julian said as they all looked at each other.

"Yeah." They said together as Julian slapped his forehead.

"The Peace receiver has their stone already." Arianna said as everybody looked at her and gasped. "It's not that shocking." Arianna said as Cat stood up.

"Who has it?" Cat asked as Arianna looked over at Cheka.

"Alana Delgado." Cheka said.
