"Really? Does the new person happen to be a Lucian boy?" Ian asked eagerly.

"Nope, she's a Madrigal girl. Her name is Nora. Isn't that pretty?" Sinead chatted happily. "You go tell Amy and Natalie. Tell Amy to tell Dan. I'll get the rest."

"When is she coming?" Ian asked, disappointed.

"Tonight at 7. See you!" Sinead started skipping towards Jonah's room. Ian crossed over to Amy's room and knocked softly.

"Amy?" he called.

"Hey," she said after she opened the door. he looked at her eyes. Her beautiful jade yes. "What's up?" He looked at her as he responded.

"Just some news. Apparently a new Madrigal girl is coming tonight at 7. Her name is Nora. You're supposed to tell Dan."

"Yea!" she cheered. She looked at him and took in his glum expression. "You looked thrilled."

"Sure!" he said half-heartedly, thinking she meant it. He didn't notice her amusement. Just then Sinead rushed past then, coming from Reagan's room, and went down the steps.

"Bye," Amy said, suddenly shy.

"Bye." Ian mulled over this mood swing as he walked to Natalie's room. Ah well. Girls. I'll never understand them.

Hamilton was out running laps around the pool, just like Reagan had told her. It was fall, so it was warm enough that he had worked up a sweat. When he saw Sinead he waved and took a seat on one of the benches by the pool. Sinead walked over and after a second sat down.

"Aren't you cold?" she asked him, noticing he was in a t-shirt and shorts.

"Nah, running keeps you plenty warm," he responded.

"Cool. Anyway, did you hear the news?" she continued when she noticed his blank expression. "A new girl is coming tonight at 7."

"What branch?"

"Madrigal." She dropped a bracelet she had been absentmindedly playing with. She reached to pick it up, but Hamilton beat her to it. She took it from his hand and saw him blush as their hands met. She smiled softly at him as she said goodbye and started walking back to the mansion. At the back door she looked to see Hamilton resume his running. She turned to head inside but saw Ned and Ted blocking the door.

"What are you guys doing?" she asked.

"Waiting for you," Ned told her.

"Why?" she probed when they offered no information.

"We talked to Fiske and he say the operations we designed would work and they found a doctor willing to preform it," Ned said quickly.

"All we need is your permission," ted mumbled.

"Mine?" Sinead asked surprised. "You're the same age as me. Why do need my permission?"

"We trust you. We don't want to do something you don't think is a good idea." Ned said hesitantly.

"I think it's a great idea." She gave each of them a hug as they squirmed away. "Thanks for asking me." Ted nodded and followed Ned inside. She took one last look at Hamilton, who was now doing pushups, and went inside. She still had to make a list for shopping.

Jonah was looking at Gangsta Chronicles reviews when he noticed it was 6:45. He stood and joined Dan in the hall. Dan was hurriedly brushing his hair.

"You trying to make a good impression?" Jonah teased.

"No. When Amy came to tell me Nora was coming Amy told me if I didn't look nice she would take away my ninja outfit for two weeks!" Jonah laughed as the stepped into the front room. Everyone was there except Amy and Natalie.

"What did Natalie do to Amy?" Dan asked Ian accusingly.

"Actually, Amy is helping Natalie with her makeup." Ian replied, insulted.

"Sense when does Amy know how to put on makeup?" Dan wondered aloud.

"Sense she wears it every day." Ian rolled his eyes. "Really Dan, you didn't notice?"

"Why did you notice, Ian?" Natalie asked as she walked in. Ian didn't answer. "Buzz off." Amy followed close behind Natalie.

"Yo, guys look! There's the car." Jonah told the room. Amy and Dan walked down the driveway to where the car was parked.

Jonah watched Nora emerge from the car. She had long blond hair and was wearing a light blue dress with other blues mottled in. Looking at her, Jonah almost thought she was a Janus. She took a few bags back from Amy and Dan and started walking up the driveway, chatting with the Cahills. Jonah was amazed at her grace.

"Hello," she called cheerfully as she approached the house. Jonah quickly opened the door for her.

"Thanks Jonah," she said as she smiled at him. Her eyes matched her dress.

"How do you know my name?" He stumbled over the words and cursed his stupidity. How did this girl make him so tongue tied?

"I'm a huge gangsta fan. I'm really excited to meet you."

"That's sick, yo," she said as he took her bags.

"I can…" She protested as she tried to reclaim her bags.

"It's fine," Jonah interrupted. "I can take them up to your room." He let go of the door as Amy and Dan strangled up the steps. He started for the stairs with Nora close behind. Ian and Amy shared a look as Ian reopened the door.

"A little oblivious," Ian noted. "It's remarkable he closed the door on you without noticing."

"He's a little star struck," Natalie informed Ian. "But this time it's not with himself." The teens laughed as they each grabbed a bag and made their way upstairs, following Nora and Jonah.

Reagan lay down on her bed, glad she was done for the day. She, Hamilton and Madison had just got back from their three mile run. They did it every night before bed. She was nervous for the coming year. She couldn't believe that she was going to a school with Cahills. This was bound to be an interesting year. Madison entered the room to give her a shirt she had borrowed. Madison clapped her on the back before she left.

"Night sis." With that she was gone.

~ How was it? Was it worth the wait? I would like some reviews, even anonymous reviews. See that little button down there? I need 5 people (or more!) to push that button. And I mean it this time. Thanks to you all though for reading. It means a lot to me. Adios! ~
