I tried to get to sleep, but all I did was toss and turn. The way I usually get to sleep was by thinking about anything and everything. At first I thought of the great times I had on the farm, but they soon had me emotional. I then thought about Wirrawee high school, which I really did miss. All the gossip and talking, the pranks that Homer always pulled on everyone and anyone that passed.

That was yet another thing that I missed; although he came to visit quite a lot. He gave us updates on the farm and also updates on the town itself. Mrs. Jennings was getting back on her feet with her florist shop and apparently, her first customer was Mr. Holden. He wanted to cheer his wife up and he heard about the opening. Every shop that opened was a special event. There was always BBQ's and small festivities held; each triumpth celebrated.

There was only one thing that wasn't celebrated anymore. The Wirrawee Show hadn't been celebrated since the one that…I suppose you could say the one that started it all. Everything else went off without a hitch.

I stopped thinking about things and suddenly felt the erge to go to Lee's room. I got up, being careful not to wake up Marmie who always slept on my bed and walked down the hallway. I gave a tap at the door, a bit like the one he gave at mine earlier.

"Come in" I heard his voice from the other side. I opened the door and stood there for a few seconds.

"Wasn't expecting to see you again tonight." He half joked. I walked over to the bed and plonked myself on top of it.

"I couldn't sleep." I confirmed. He pulled the covers back; inviting me in and I greatly accepted.

We both lied there in silence before Lee broke spoke.

"Do you ever think about what you would be doing if the war never happened?" he asked me. I actually had thought about it.

"Yeah, we'd still be in school, studying for exams and complaining about our parents." I replied.

"You know I look at other kids and I envy them for having parents."

"I know…" I trailed off. At that moment I placed my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.

"I still miss them. I even miss Chris." I sighed.

"Yeah, even Chris" he agreed.

I looked up into his eyes and then our lips met. His kisses started out soft and small, but then grew more passionate as the kiss deepened.

"Wow, I haven't had a kiss like that for a while" Lee commented. I leant into his embrace, even though we were lying down. It felt like winter had arrived sooner than usual because I started to get the shivers, this only made me lean into him more.

"Do you want me to close that window?" I gave a nod and he went to pull it closed. For the first time, I noticed he was only in his boxers. I felt a slight shiver run down my spine. It was either out of pleasure or the cold. The window took a lot to close, but it was worth it to slowly feel the warmth return to the room.

Lee walked back over to the bed and snuggled under the covers again; obviously he too was cold.

"Thanks" I breathed out. He wrapped his arms around me again and I felt a little warm when I leant into him once more. I leaned up again and gave him a soft kiss on his lips. Without thinking, the kisses got deeper and more passionate this time. What was only meaning to be a quick thank-you kiss, turned out being a long snog. A small, little tap at the door interrupted our kisses. I got up, not really wanting too and opened it.

Standing there was Pang and Intira, each holding their teddies. I couldn't help but aww at them.

"What's wrong?" I asked them.

"Bad dreams." The two girls replied at the same time.

I took their hands in my own and carted them over to the bed. Lee gave out an obvious, irritated sigh and I shot him a look in return.

"Why don't you sleep with Lee and I." I offered. They gave a nod and I helped them into bed.

With Lee and I on either side of them, they slowly drifted off to sleep. If only we were as lucky. I was forced to lay there in silence whilst the others slept.

"You asleep Lee?" I asked at one stage.

"Yes." He answered. I gave a sigh, kind of like the one he gave earlier and turned over, slightly rocking the bed.

This poor bed was going to get a work out.

I woke up the next morning feeling strangely energised. I had the job of getting the kids up. I was used to getting Gavin up, but the other two boys Phillip and Paul; they were another story.

After a lot of poking and prodding them to death, they gave into defeat and stumbled out of their room. Gavin was always the first up, I think he still had the early rise thing in him from when we were on the farm.

The three boys decided to share a room whilst the two girls, got a room to themselves. I was actually thinking that maybe I should give up my room and let Gavin have it. That way, Lee and I can have all the privacy we want.

The five of them stood at the front door waiting impatiently for me to finish my breakfast, as I was the one driving them. Usually, Lee made his own way to work (he got a job just recently not far from the school), but I offered to drive him today. Also on a typical day, we would all take the bus, but I felt like driving.

"I'll just drop them off and then come back and pick you up. Ok?" I said, chewing the last bit of my toast. Lee gave a nod and I was out the door, the kids hot on my trail.

AN~ I know its not very action packed yet, but it is coming, I promise! If you have any pointers or tips for me to use, just leave a review and I will take it on board. Btw, Mrs. Jennings and Mr. Holden aren't people from Wirrawee, I just made them up. Please review, it means a lot to me. Thanks guys!
