Thanks to everyone who is still reading this fiction. I don't have a clue how many of you still do but I am always happy to see at least one person reviewing and showing me that it's worth updating.

There were posters all over the walls. Not of her but of her friends; some people she did not even know, the cheerleaders, the basketball players, the mathletes, almost everyone. When she saw a picture of Sam and then of Rachel she put a hand in front of her mouth and gasped, "You did not?", she looked shocked at Rachel.

"Once a whore always a whore, right?", Rachel laughed hard. Phoebe looked at the picture again. It was a big poster of Rachel when she was around ten and half naked and then another picture of her in just her underwear. She was smiling into the camera very sure. It said "Trust me, Phoebe Ferguson will have this sooner or later. I was flat once too but now I am definitely not!", she was pointing at her boobs.

Phoebe blushed and looked at Sam's poster. She was just in her underwear as well, "My body is not perfect but it's MY body.", her photo said.

Phoebe went slowly through the hall. Joshua was shown from behind totally naked, "Phoebe Ferguson totally rocks my world."

"Oh my god. This is so embarrassing.", Phoebe held her hand over her mouth. Then she saw a picture of Jamie. He was just holding a basketball in front of him but was naked as well. He definitely had a good body. "Phoebe Ferguson is my best friend and I love her the way she is.", stood under his picture.

Immediately Phoebe blushed when Jamie came towards her and looked up at his own picture as well.

"You are crazy.", Phoebe turned towards her friends and looked at the other pictures. There were so many:

"Phoebe is eleven but I am sixteen and still have cup A. Whatever!" It showed a girl from the cheer team.

"I tend to stuff my bra.", another one from the cheer team. Everyone looked at the pictures and laughed and made photos of them. When they went past Phoebe they smiled at her, which embarrassed her, but in a good way.

"Thank you.", Phoebe hugged Sam, Rachel and Jamie with a big smile.

"So I won?", Sam asked a little unsure. She really hoped that her idea was helping Phoebe.

"Yeah. Definitely.", Phoebe laughed and hugged Sam again.

Sam took off her base cap, "Then you don't have to wear this."

Both of them jumped up when they heard a loud announcement through the school microphone, "Whoever is responsible for the posters, comes to my office. Immediately!"

Now it was their showdown. More than fifty people came to his office one by one and said that it had been their idea. Of course the principal could not punish them all.

"Hey, you're Phoebe. Right?", a senior girl asked her a little later.

"Yes.", Phoebe answered shyly and looked up at the girl.

"I just wanted to say sorry that my sister did this…to you." Phoebe looked up at the senior.

"Umm. Thanks."

Haley watched the four of them from behind. Of course she knew whose idea this had been but there was no way that she would tell it to the principal. She smiled when she saw Sam taking her arm around Phoebe and Jamie.

Brooke, Julian, Sam, Phoebe, Haley, Nathan, Jamie and Lisa were sitting in the Scott's house and eating cake.

"It was so funny.", Sam and Jamie laughed hard thinking about the incident at school.

"Rachel got so many jerks asking her out and Sam too.", Phoebe laughed hard.

"Well that's not the funny part. But you should have seen the principal's and teachers' faces.", Sam continued and looked at Haley who nodded. Of course it was still weird having a teacher sitting at their table.

Brooke, Julian and Haley and Nathan were still shocked what Sam had done. They did not really know whether to thank or yell at her but when they saw Phoebe laughing the whole time they definitely were relieved.

"And...and this one boy came to me and said.", Phoebe stood on the stool and made her voice sound deeper "he was like this big and said: Phoebe, I don't care if you have breasts or not. You are the most beautiful girl at school."

While the kids were laughing all the time the grown-ups looked unsure at them.

"Yeah, right. And then the senior basketball captain came to Phoebe and asked her whether she was fine and that she should come to him if she has another problem and he would beat the shit out of her bullies."

"Oh yeah. That was so embarrassing.", Phoebe hid her face in her hands. Jamie laughed hard and took her hands.

"Yeah it's like Phoebe has a whole bodyguard crew at school now. The whole seniors and juniors, girls and boys, were coming towards her and talked to her."

Brooke widened her eyes and Phoebe nodded immediately, "Yeah. Even the school president came to me and guess what…she hugged me."

"Wow. That is amazing Phoebe.", Haley laughed how excited their kids were.

"I know. Still…it's embarrassing that everyone saw me half naked but now it's...kind of cool.", Phoebe laughed.

"Cool?", Julian and Nathan asked confused and raised their eyebrows in shock.

"There was even this one girl who was older than me and still had no sign of breasts." Phoebe said honestly, "Can you believe that?", she asked into the round.

"God. I hope I don't have to wait that long.", she whispered to Sam.

"I hope you stay the way you are the next ten years.", Julian realized that he had said that aloud and made the grown-ups laugh.

"Yeah man. I can understand that.", Nathan went through Lisa's hair and hoped that Lisa would stay five forever.

"So you're staying with Brooke and Julian this time?" Nathan asked smiling into the round but already knew the answer but was confused when Phoebe looked mad at him and emphasized "And Sam!"

"Want to play basketball?", Jamie suggested and the kids went outside laughing the whole time and enjoying each other's company.

xxxxxxx

"Wow. You'll never know what the next day brings with these kids.", Haley laughed and took Brooke's hand.

"Oh yeah. Trust me. I stopped making any predictions." Nathan went to the fridge and took out champagne and four glasses.

"To our kids." They all smiled happily, "May we get them through puberty without being pregnant, doing drugs or any other mayor thing.", Nathan said but then added, "Okay let me rephrase that. May we get them through puberty without choosing us as their role models."

Haley slapped him. "I was not that bad."

"Oh honey you were pregnant as a teenager. Brooke was the party girl, I slept with more women I can count and...and Julian...um...he was a mathlete."

All of them laughed and went outside and watched the four kids, "Oh my goodness. Do you realize that when Sam is finally 20 and not a teen any more Phoebe will be sixteen and Jamie eighteen. And when Phoebe is 20 Lisa will be starting her teens which means that we have teenagers for the next ...like...15 years.", Haley said to all of them.

"Oh my gosh.", Brooke took a hand over her mouth, "Let's drink to that tutor mom."

"We sure do, tigger."

They smiled when Phoebe tried to crawl on Jamie's back to get the ball that was stuck right above the net. When she got it Jamie let go of her, which ended in Phoebe sitting on the basket, "Very funny Jamie.", she laughed at him.

"Get her down.", Lisa complained but Jamie shook his head and threw a ball to the basket. Phoebe screamed and caught it and threw it from her position into the basket, "Yeah. You scored.", Phoebe screamed.

"Now me.", Sam threw the ball but Phoebe had to catch it in the air.

"Not a very good one Sammy but you scored."

Brooke did not like the view of Phoebe sitting on the basket in the air, "Julian, get her down please.", Julian nodded and took another sip from the champagne. Lisa threw the ball and of course Brooke's thoughts got true. Phoebe wanted to catch it but somehow lost her balance and fell. Her leg got stuck in the net and she fell head forward down but her tangled foot prevented her from hitting the ground, instead she hit her forehead on the metallic pole and then fell backwards on her back.

Julian and the others ran towards her.

"Shit." Phoebe was covering her face and rubbed it "Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.", she said and then looked up into six worried faces and burst out into laughing.

"I am alive." she said and stood up.

"Are you okay?", Brooke asked concerned.

"Yeah. Yeah. Perfect." She wanted to run to the ball but Nathan took her and looked into her eyes, "Delusional? Pain? Headache?", he asked and she shook her head.

"Just another bump.", she pointed at her forehead and then threw the ball into the basket.

"Are you always that clumsy?", Sam asked her and Phoebe stuck out her tongue.

"I am not clumsy. I just slipped."

"Yeah and almost broke your neck.", Sam laughed.

"I did not.", Phoebe said back and hit Sam with the ball playfully.

"You didn't just hit me with the ball?", Sam asked confused while Phoebe smiled.

"Yes I did and I would do it again", she started running but Sam was faster and threw her on the ground. Not very softly. This would definitely leave another bruise on her small body.

"Oh my god Julian. I just hope she'll even make it into her teens.", Julian took his arms around his wife and nodded, "Trust me, I hope that too."

They looked how Sam tickled the hell out of her "Say it."

"No I won't." She attacked her with tickling again.

"Get off her.", Lisa tried to defend her Phoebe.

"Do you want to help tickling her? She really likes it."

"No Lisa, don't listen to her. I don't like it...I...", but Lisa nodded and Sam and Lisa started tickling her together. Sam was sitting on her stomach and arms, so there was no way that she could move. All she could do was laughing and kicking around.

"Just say the words.", But Phoebe shook her head when she saw Haley behind Sam and taking Sam off of her and starting tickling her.

The Scotts and Bakers plus Ferguson and Walker ran around happily and tickled each other.

"Nathan. Stop it.", Brooke was caught under Nathan and tried in vain to get free, "Arrghhh. Someone help me...", she laughed and Julian went over to her.

"Oh. You don't tickle her soft spot.", he laughed at Brooke's shocked face and then went to her stomach and helped Nathan.

"No...No...that's not fair...", Brooke could not stop laughing when the two tickled her merciless, "Haleeeeey.", she screamed but Haley laughed at the sight.

"Don't...look at...me. Heeelp.", Haley nodded and took off Brooke's shoes and started tickling Brooke's feet. There was no way to escape and Brooke laughed hard while all the hands were tickling her.

"Leave our mom alone.", Sam screamed and then realized what she had said. Phoebe looked confused up at her, "Well, whatever.", Sam laughed and the girls ran to Brooke to free her. Jamie and Lisa helped her as well and jumped onto the men.

Finally Brooke was lying on the ground. Still exhausted from the fight and having Sam and Phoebe in one arm and looking up into the sky.

"This is an elephant.", Sam said and pointed at a cloud.

"No, it's not. It's a tiger.", Phoebe said and Brooke shook her head "Nope it's an etiger."

Sam and Phoebe looked confused at Brooke, "And what is that?"

"Well it's an elephant that looks like a tiger.", Brooke laughed.

"So still it is an elephant.", Sam laughed and Phoebe added "but if he looks like a tiger, he is a tiger."

"Oh whatever Furby.", Sam moaned.

Brooke felt so happy at the moment. Sam on one side and Phoebe on the other. Finally Jamie stood in front of them and they all looked up at him, "Wow. You two will totally pull my aunt away from me." Jamie laughed and Brooke pulled him down, so that he was almost on top of her.

"No one can replace my Jimmy Jam."

"Jimmy Jam?" Phoebe and Sam laughed, "That sounds cute."

"Oh gosh aunt Brooke. I am not eleven any more."

"Haha. Very funny.", Phoebe slapped him playfully and he stood up again.

"We wanted to play pantomime."

"I haaate pantomime.", Sam said and Phoebe agreed.

"I am sorry kids. You have to go through this.", she took her girls' hands. They rolled their eyes and went into the living room to the others.

Everything went totally fine the next weeks. Sam and Phoebe got along very well. Of course there were a lot of normal sisterly fights but no mayor disaster at all.

Sam talked to Ben every day and skyped.

Brooke and Julian enjoyed being the family they always had wished to be.

Julian knocked on Sam's door. As usual Sam did not hear his knocking because she was talking on the phone or listening to music.

Carefully he just opened the door and could tell that Sam was skyping with a boy. Again. He did not want to interrupt her and closed the door again.

"I think Sam is skyping with a boy.", he said to Brooke who was deep into sketching for her kids' line but then looked up with her glasses, "I bet it's this Ben."

"Oh. I hate it when they grow up Brooke. I hope Phoebe will stay this little forever." Brooke laughed at him and sat down on his lap and squeezed his cheek, "Oh honey. Trust me, it won't take long and she'll be into guys. Again! I may add."

Brooke and Julian looked at the floor when they heard Sam and Phoebe arguing. "But I want to talk to him too."

"It's my room Phoebe. Leave us alone."

"Hi Ben.", Phoebe waved into the computer and Ben smiled back.

"Hey pumpkin. How is my favorite pumpkin?"

"Good but why are you always talking to Sam but not to me?", Phoebe laughed from Sam to Ben when both of them blushed.

"So how is living with Brooke and Julian again? For the both of you?"

"It's great.", Sam said and Phoebe added, "They bought us a bike."

"Cool. I am glad they are such cool people."

"It's Sam's birthday next week and she would looooove to kiss you."

"Oh…get out Phoebe. Wait a minute Ben.", Sam pulled Phoebe out of the room and threw her into the floor and then closed her door again, "Sorry Ben. Your cousin sometimes really gets on my nerves."

"Yeah no problem. I know how kids are. So, are you celebrating?"

"Nah. I don't know. I bet Brooke is already planning a party cause it's my 16th. But for me it would be fine not to celebrate."

"Well I think you should. I am happy you were born and it's enough reason to celebrate."

"You are crazy.", Sam blushed.

"She will love this.", Phoebe pointed at everything that Sam would love for her birthday. Brooke had allowed her to go shopping with her and help her choosing some presents.

"I think we have enough, don't you think?", Brooke's car was already full with stuff for her birthday but Phoebe raised her eyebrow.

"But it's a special birthday. She needs to be happy.", Phoebe took Brooke's hand and pulled her to the DVD section.

"No, not this one.", Brooke was putting some DVD'S into the basket, "This one neither."

"Sam likes scary movies. And she talked about the Hitcher and that she wanted to see it.", Brooke took it back and into the basket.

"Will you allow me to see it too?", Phoebe pleaded and looked up at Brooke with big eyes. Brooke just took the DVD and pointed at a number. "Can you see that? It says sixteen. You have to wait four years."

"You are mean. You know that.", Phoebe looked at other DVD's until a man talked to Brooke.

"Excuse me miss, your daughter is not allowed to be in this section.", the man said and Brooke nodded and took Phoebe's hand and went outside.

"Pleeeeeeeasse. She will be so disappointed.", Phoebe whined the whole way home. "Phoebe. You are getting on my nerves with this theme."

"Just an old one. It does not have to be a new one. But she really, really wants a car and she can drive and…", Phoebe stopped when Brooke looked madly at her.

"A car is very expensive Phoebe and we have to earn your trust again. You both ran away a few weeks ago and I can tell that you still hide something. We won't buy Sam a car and show you that it was okay what you did."

Phoebe looked shocked at Brooke and did not know what to say but nodded sadly and then whispered "But…but it was not Sam's fault that we ran away. It was mine and it's not nice to punish her because of me."

"Well, it's not only your running away but your skipping school, smoking and so on." "But…but Broooooke. Sam will be sad if she does not get a car. I would buy it but I have spent all my money for her present."

"What did you buy her?", Brooke asked curiously but Phoebe looked mad at her. "I won't tell you.", she closed the door loudly and went into the house and bumped into Julian, "You two are mean.", she knocked at Sam's door and went inside.

xxxxxxxx

"So, how was shopping?", Sam jumped on Phoebe and sat on her stomach "tell me what you bought."

Phoebe shook her head "No, I won't. It's a surprise.", but Sam knew how to get things out of Phoebe and started tickling her again.

"Stoooooop.", Phoebe laughed.

"Tell me."

"No.", she continued tickling her until Phoebe gave up. "…and the Hitcher."

Sam smiled "That is really much."

"Yeah, I know but they won't buy you a car and that's not fair.", Phoebe crossed her arms in front of her and was surprised that Sam was not mad or disappointed at all.

"Phoebe. I don't expect a car. It's expensive and….and…", Sam started to stutter and Phoebe looked confused at her, "And what?"

"Well, I am not even their daughter.", Sam said fast and Phoebe looked shocked at her and did not understand that statement.

"Well, me neither but they love us. Right?", she asked a little insecure and Sam nodded "Sure they do. But you are Brooke's sister and they…well, they don't need to adopt you but I don't know whether they want to adopt me any more. The last time I ran away to my birth mother."

Phoebe jumped up and walked outside to Brooke and Julian who were sitting at the table and designing and reading.

"Brooooooke, Juliaaaan.", she screamed at them and looked at both of them "Could you please ado…", Sam was fast enough and put her hand over her mouth.

"Could we please what?", Julian asked confused but Sam shook her head.

"Nothing, nothing.", she had her hand still over Phoebe's mouth who tried to get free but Sam pulled her back into her room.

"Are you crazy? I don't tell you my secrets to spill it out immediately.", Phoebe rolled her eyes and wanted to get out again.

"Let me out. It's not a secret. I know for sure that they will adopt you but they probably don't know whether you want it or not. So I am in the middle of it and I will solve it."

"No you won't. I don't want them to know.", Sam pointed at Phoebe and blocked the door.

"That's stupid Sammy. I swear that they want it."

"No, you don't tell them a thing, okay.", Sam pointed her finger at Phoebe and looked madly at her.

"Fine.", Phoebe sat down with her arms crossed at Sam's bed, "But I still think that this is stupid."
