(A/N: Hey guys! I'm baaaaaaaaaack! Little late to put this comment up but oh well! Finally got an app that lets me write my stories AND put them on here so most likely going to be updating faster but there are no promises! Anyway on with the story!)
"Hmm... Where to start? At the beginning, I guess." Alexis said.
"What would be the beginning?" Allen asked.
"How we all met." Neah answered.
"Who's 'all'?" Road asked.
"Well that would be you- Road -, Tyki, Mana, Neah, Cross, Allen, and I." Alexis answered.
"What about Cara?" Allen asked.
"She wasn't born yet." Neah answered.
"Oh." Allen said.
"I don't come in till later on." Cara said.
"Okay so starting with how we met right?" Alexis asked.
"Yes." Neah answered.
"Okay." Alexis said will remembering how they all met.
-{Flashback}-
Alexis was leaning up against a wall with her arms crossed and tapping her foot with frustration.
The door opened and Alexis knew who it was.
"Allen! You're late again!" She yelled.
"Hehe sorry." Allen said as he walked into the room Alexis was in. "But I have a reason this time."
"Really? It better be a good one. You were supposed to be back an hour ago" Alexis said as she crossed her arms in frustration.
"Hehe well... um..." Allen started but was interrupted by Alexis when she saw a small boy with red hair behind Allen.
"Who's that?" she asked.
"Um... This is Cross, Cross Marian." Allen answered.
"Um... Hi Miss." Cross said in a high pitched voice which wasn't surprising to Alexis seeing as how Cross looked about 9 or 10.
"Hello." Alexis said with a kind smile.
"Allen is this why you took so long?" Alexis asked her brother.
"Actually... Cross here isn't the only one. You think we have enough food for five more people?" Allen asked.
"Of coarse we have enough! Don't you remember what day it is? I told you to be home an hour ago for a reason!" Alexis yelled.
"Sorry but um... what was the reason again?" Allen asked.
"You're joking right? How do you not know your own damn birthday!?" Alexis yelled scaring Cross.
"Oh... right." Allen said ashamed of himself.
"I'm sorry miss. Please forgive him. Allen here was just trying to help us." A voice said from outside the doorway.
Alexis shifted a little to be able to see who owned the voice. He had brown spikey hair and was wearing a torn up tan trench coat. The boy looked to be about the same age as Cross.
"And who are you?" Alexis asked the man.
The boy gave a sweet smile and said, "My name is Neah, Neah Walker. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss..."
"I'm sorry. My name is Alexis. I have no sir name so please just call me Alexis."
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Miss. Alexis." Neah finished.
"Thank you. You truely are quite nice. Maybe you can pass your manners on to Allen here?"
"I'm right here you know!" Allen said angrily.
"I know." Alexis said not caring.
"Hehe I can try my best but you see... My older brother has more mannerisms then I do." Neah admitted.
"Oh really?" Alexis asked.
"Yes. He is quite kind hearted." Neah said happily.
"Is he here?" Alexis asked wanting to meet this brother that was said to be kinder than this sweet boy.
"Why yes he is." Neah said as he started to turn towards the door where the elder brother was already standing.
"Hello Miss. Alexis. My name is Mana Walker. I'm sorry if my little brother bothered you any." The boy said in a deeper tone then Neahs.
"Oh no need to apologize. He was quite kind." Alexis started with a smile. "I take it he learned from you?"
"Hm... I guess you could say that..." Neah answered.
"Hehe well I can only hope you would be kind enough to share your mannerisms and kindness with Allen." Alexis said with a smile and slight laugh.
Then something caught her eye.
"Come on. I can see you out there. Please come in." Alexis said facing the door.
Then two kids came into the house. A small boy with black curly hair and a smaller girl with dark blue/purple short hair with a pink hair band with a small bow on it. Both wore tattered clothing.
"Hello. Who are you two?" Alexis asked getting on to her knees to face them.
"Um... I'm Tyki, Tyki Mykk." the small boy said.
"Well that's a nice name Tyki. It sounds fancy. How old are you Tyki?" Alexis asked.
"Um... I'm 16 ma'am." Tyki replied in a shy voice.
"Ma'am? Oh you don't have to call me that my name is Alexis. You can call me that or Lexi or whatever you think fits." Alexis said with a kind smile.
"Um... Thank you... Miss. Alexis." Tyki said with a small smile growing.
Alexis laughed a small bit at what Tyki decided to call her.
"And who is this young lady?" Ale is asked pointing to the girl behind Tyki.
Tyki turned his head and seemed to talk to the girl then pulled her out from behind him.
"Hello. Who are you?" Alexis asked the girl.
"My name is Road, miss. Road Kamelot." she said also very shy.
"How old are you Road?"
"I'm 14, miss."
"Did you hear what I told Tyki?"
Road shook her head. She hadn't been paying attention to any of the early conversations.
"Well you don't have to call me 'miss'. My name is Alexis. You can call me whatever you think fits."
"Am I allowed to call you Lexi? It sounds pretty."
"Of coarse." Alexis said with a smile. "You know Road... I think I might have the perfect outfit for you. Same for you Tyki. I'm sure you would like to get out of those worn out clothes."
But mentioned kids nodded and smiled at each other.
"Okay, come on." Alexis said as she picked up Road and had Tyki hold her hand while she guided him.
"Allen... You were right... She truely is kind hearted." Neah said to his new friend.
"Yeah Allen. That brings me to my question. She your girlfriend or something?" Cross asked.
"No she isn't my girlfriend. Alexis is my sister." Allen said.
"Oh... well that got rid of my other question."
"What other question?" Allen asked.
"I was going to ask how you got her. She's obviously WAY out of your league."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"She's hotter than you deserve!" Cross yelled while laughing.
Allen just dead panned while Neah and Mana tried their very hardest not to laugh but started to fail a bit.
"You can all go to Hell!" Allen shouted. "And don't talk about my little sister like that!"
"How much younger than you is she?" Mana asked regaining his composure.
"She's 2 years younger than me. Alexis is 18."
"Wait you're 20? You look so much younger than that!" Cross said getting hyper.
"Thanks... I guess?"
Alexis, Road, and Tyki were now in Allens room. Road and Tyki were sitting on the bed wile Alexis was looking through the closet.
Alexis would every once in a while make a comment saying 'that isn't the one' or 'nope'. Eventually Alexis told Tyki to stand up and as he did she pulled out a suit and held it up to him.
"That's good." Alexis said, "I don't think you need help getting dressed so I'll let you put this on yourself. If you need help at all just call. We will be right next door."
And with that Alexis and Road walked out to go to Alexis' room.
Road sat on the bed like before and Alexis was looking through her many dresses. After a few minutes Alexis pulled out a white dress with gold lining and gold sparkles that looked far too small for her.
"Come here Road." Alexis said with a smile.
"Okay." Road said smiling as she jumped off the edge of the bed.
"Lets see... Oh this would be perfect for you." Alexis said holding the dress up to Road. "Lets go get this on you."
After a few minutes of getting Road dressed up they started putting the final touches on.
"What do you think?" Alexis asked as she put Road in front of a mirror.
Road looked at how she looked and was awe struck. "I love it." Road said through the starting tears of joy as she started to hug Alexis like they had been family forever.
"I'm glad you think so. Now how about we fix your hair too?"
"Okay..."
Alexis sat Road on a chair that was in front of the mirror and started to play with her hair.
First Alexis thought of curling it but she realized it was too short. They didn't want to leave her hair down so brushing it straight was out of the question. Then it dawned on her.
Alexis started to brush out the small knots that were in the small girls hair. She went over to her dresser next to her bed and grabbed a small box.
"What's that?" Road asked watching Alexis walk back with a small wooden box.
"This has something very precious to me in it."
"And what would that be?"
"Its a hair piece that my mother gave me." Alexis said as she pulled out what looked like a curved comb with flowers of many kinds on it- all made of plastic of coarse.
"It's so pretty! You wouldn't be thinking about putting that in MY hair would you?"
"Of coarse I would be. I always thought this hair piece and that dress went together perfectly."
"Oh but I couldn't wear something so precious to you."
"Please, I hardly ever have a reason to wear something like this. And I personally believe this would look better on you than on me." Alexis said as she started brushing Roads hair again.
Road was speechless. She didn't know if she should continue arguing about wearing something so precious or if she should just give in. So she decided to just let Alexis do as she wanted.
"There... Wow you're prettier than I thought." Alexis said looking at the small girl now with a beautiful dress and hair pinned up with a beautiful hair piece.
Road looked at the mirror and was shocked. "Is that even me?"
"Yes it is Road. You see under all that dirt was actually a very pretty girl." Alexis said getting down to eye level to see Road in the mirror.
"Thank you so much Lexi!" Road yelled as she hugged Alexis with all her might.
"You're welcome Road..." Alexis said hugging the small girl in return.
When the two split from each other there was a small knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Alexis asked towards the door.
"It's Tyki, ma'am." Said the voice behind the door.
Alexis walked over to the door and opened it to see Tyki holding his jacket and tie.
"Can you please help me ma'am?" Tyki asked.
"Of coarse." Alexis answered as she pulled Tyki in her room.
"Road? Is that you?" Tyki asked.
"Hehe do you like my outfit?" Road asked as she started spinning causing the dress to spread out.
"You look so different..."
"I'll take that as a yes." Road said with a smile.
"Okay Tyki come here." Alexis said jestering towards her bed.
Tyki walked over and sat on the bed in front of Alexis who was on a knee so she would be at his level.
Alexis started playing with the jacket and found one of the sleeves- Tyki didn't know how to get the jacket on so he tried to figure it out and got it tangled up -and put his arm through it. When both of Tykis arms were in the right sleeves, Alexis pulled the jacket on completely and started to button the bottom four buttons. She then grabbed the tie and put it around the back of his neck.
"Um... Excuse me ma'am... can you not put that on?" Tyki asked.
Alexis was a little curious as to why but she did as he asked and took the tie away from his neck and buttoned up a few more of the buttons.
"Now look at you two. You look so cute!" Alexis said with a smile.
Alexis pointed to the mirror telling them to look at how they were dressed.
Both Road and Tyki were shocked at how they looked better together rather than separately.
"Ready to go show everyone else?" Alexis asked causing the too kids to get out of their shock and become very excited.
"Yeah!" the two kids said in unison.
"Okay then lets go." Alexis said with a light giggle from their joy and excitement.
Alexis opened her door and started walking through the halls with the two kids filled with joy following rout behind.
Alexis stopped almost causing the kids to bump into her
"What is it Lexi?" Road asked.
"I just thought of something. Tyki we didn't fix your hair. It's still a mess." Alexis said.
This caused Tyki and Road to both look at his hair which was still down and in his face.
Alexis knelt down and brushed her hand over Tykis hair pushing it back. She did this a few more times until it finally stayed.
"There that's better." Alexis said and Tyki trusted her judgement.
The three started walking to the main room again.
Road couldn't help but stare at Tyki. He looked so different with his hair up and a suit on. She now understood how Tyki must have felt when he saw her.
When they were right around the corner from the main room where the others were, Alexis stopped.
"I'm going to go in there and get them ready for you two so when I wave my hand at you two that's when I want you to come in. Okay?" Alexis said in a whisper.
The two kids nodded showing they understood.
Alexis turned back around and walked into the doorway to the main room.
"Hello everyone." Alexis said to the four boys who were talking in the center of the room.
"Oh, hello Alexis. Where are Tyki and Road?" Neah asked.
"Well I came in first to warn you to be prepared."
"What do you mean?" Cross asked.
"They don't look like how you first saw them. That's what I mean."
"So they're dressed up?" Mana asked.
"Yes. And they look VERY different. But in a good way of coarse." Alexis said with a smile.
Alexis turned and started waving for the two kids to come in.
Tyki and Road walked in nervously. They had lost all excitement and were now worried if anyone would like how they looked.
"No need to be nervous." Alexis said causing the two to loosen up and gain smiles.
"Is that even them?" Cross asked.
"Yes. These two are really Tyki and Road." Alexis said.
It took a little while but Allen had finally gotten out of his stupor and now relized what the two were wearing.
"Lex... You really let them wear those?" Allen asked.
"Of coarse. We are far too big for them now and I don't want them to be sitting in a closet forever and do nothing but gain dust." Alexis said with a sad smile.
"What's wrong Lexi?" Road asked.
"It's nothing... It's just..."
"Those were made by our parents... right before they died." Allen finished for his sister.
"Oh I'm sorry! I'll get out of this right away." Road said.
"Please don't..." Alexis said with a sad smile. "It makes me happy to see someone can actually wear them. Like I said, Allen and I have grown out of those so we can't wear them."
Allen was getting sad from seeing his sister like this. He walked over and put his hand on Alexis' shoulder and threw a smile at her and said "It's okay. We have new friends so you should be happy."
The small comment made Alexis remember what today was.
"Oh that's right! I'm so sorry I forgot even if it was only for a moment!" Alexis said apologizing to Allen.
"Um... what did you forget again?" Allen asked.
Alexis face palmed and said angrily to her brother, "It's your birthday!"
"Oh yeah... Hehe I forgot..." Allen said embarrassed.
"How do you forget your own birthday?" Cross asked. "That's just stupid."
"Cross!" Neah yelled.
"What? I'm just saying..." Cross said innocently.
"It's okay. I get yelled at a lot because I forget things so often." Allen said forgivingly.
"Oh yeah! We need to hurry to the kitchen! I made a feast of all your favorite foods Allen." Alexis said pretty fast and with worry of the food being cold.
With that they all celebrated Allens birthday by eating and having laughs. You could hear them until late after midnight.
