Me: Spreading the love!
Finn: Another update?
Me: I've got nothing better to do.
Finn: Like homework?
Me: Exactly.
Finn: -sigh-
Chapter 3: Letters to the DHI
Kat POV
I glared at my overstuffed mailbox, taking a garbage bag and taking it to the kitchen table. ARGH. I mumbled curse words in Greek as I dragged it up the driveway.
"Need help?" someone asked. I sighed and turned to see Captain America standing there. Not in uniform, but similar. He was wearing a Captain America T-shirt, how egotistic.
"Yeah, I'm trying to take this bag to my house, and…" I said. He picked up the bag and picked it up, throwing it perfectly, so it landed at the front door.
"Thanks. I didn't know your new Job Description was helping Fanfiction writers." He shrugged.
"Helping someone is helping America," he said.
"Did someone pay you to say that?"
"No," he chuckled. "Hey Thor!" he waved down the driveway at Thor jamming out to Green Day, his new favorite band. Advantage to living on Avengers Street.
"Hey I have to go. Get letters for Finn and all."
"The one at your house?" he asked, confused.
"No, the other one."
"Ah. Have a SUPER day!" and he walked off.
Maybeck POV
I was still upset over the cookies incident yesterday, Philby's cookies were world-famous. But if I even said something that might offend Kat, I would not exist on this earth. I wasn't afraid of anybody or anything, except Kat.
"MAIL!" she yelled suddenly, from the top of the fridge. She occasionally landed in random places throughout the house, never in the pool though.
"You've got mail, Beck Beck," she smirked, tossing it in my face. I hated that nickname.
Dear Maybeck,
Just wondering, do you have a self-esteem problem?
Have A Nice Day,
Lex :D
Yes, have a nice day, when you insulted my self-esteem. I'm like a GOD compared to these humans.
Dear Lex :D,
I'm very much sure that I do not have self-esteem problems. Check the signature at the end. Instead of 'love' or 'sincerely', you should always bow to me.
Ruler of the World,
Maybeck
Philby POV
I was still angry about the cookies. I worked for 45 minutes on those things! Including oven time, but still! But yet, Kat pretended like it never happened. When she handed me a letter, I was going to give her a piece of my mind when her phone rang.
"Kat speaking," she said. I heard a loud noise on the other end.
"Finn? WHO LET THE BEAR-HOUNDS LOOSE? Get Silvia or George to help! Screw that, get Dumbledore! Be home ASAP!" she hung up.
"Gotta make this speedy," she said calmly.
"Finn?"
"You mortals can't comprehend my magic. There's a clone of Finn at my house. That's the simplest I can break it down for you. Except, the Finn here is the clone of the one at my house. I have the real Finn. GAH! Answer the dang letter!" and ran out. That cleared up nothing.
Dear Philbs,
That's what Maybeck calls me. I HATE that.
Are you gay for Finn?
Love,
No matter What Your Answer Is, I know It's True
Why does everyone think that? It's a ridiculous assumption, even though there were tons of Phinn fics out there. It's gross.
Dear… No matter What Your Answer Is, I know It's True,
I am not gay for Finn.
Love,
Not Gay Philby
Charlene POV
"You must be bell of the ball today, Charred rock!" Kat exclaimed.
"A., what does that even mean? And B., don't call me that,"
"You'll love it. Eventually. And it's supposed to mean sociable and have lots of friends. Oh well, no one cares about those old sayings anymore."
"You make it sound like your thirty," I pointed out.
"Want me to act my age? LOL OMG I GTG TTYL!" and she skipped out of my room. I rolled my eyes and opened the letter.
Dear Charlene,
I appreciate your response. I am sorry my alter ego, Artemis, writes mean things. I have another question for you. Would you ever consider dating Maybeck?
Philby In A Box,
Skittles
Her alter ego was Artemis? Interesting! I didn't understand her signature, 'Philby In A Box'? And at least she wasn't like, "DATE MAYBECK OR I'LL KILL YOU' like most Marlene fangirls. And guys..
Dear Skittles,
Although I don't understand your signature, I am glad that you apologized for your… alter ego. Peter Parker had lots of trouble with Spiderman too. I would not consider it because the Keepers are like family, and that means I would date my brother, which would be kind of gross. But I would consider dating Finn. He's totally cute right? Oops, don't tell him I said that.
Love,
Charlene
Jez POV
"Your first letter!" Amanda said, coming in with a letter.
"Really? Where's Kat?"
"She had an emergency. Said something about bear-hounds and giant hamsters. And some deodorant."
"Oh. Um. Okay," I said unsurely. I opened it up.
Dear Jess,
Hi! Is Amanda annoying? Or is she awesome? I need to get a feel of her personality cause when they make a movie about you guys, I REALLY wanna try out for Amanda. If you don't tell me, that's alright, I can just go to Catluver3's house and get Amanda and… why am I exposing my evil plan? Let's pretend I never typed that… let's try this again… what evil plan? Anywho… bye! Tell everyone I said hi!
-Amanda J. Granger "Mandy G"-
"HEY EVERYONE! AMANDA GRANGER SAYS HI!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I received less enthusiastic 'hi's or 'hello's.
Dear Mandy G,
Everyone says hi back! Amanda isn't usually annoying, most of the time, she goes off somewhere with Finn, and they only call me when they need me, which is fine with me. Amanda's nice to everyone, and usually reserved because she doesn't know them that well, but when she's around people she knows like us or me, she becomes somewhat nice, really brave, and loud. I think she likes Finn. Honestly. A lot of people agree. She's annoying when she takes advantage of her 'I'm one year older than you, I make the rules!' or something. I usually point out that I'm psychic and if she ever wants my help again, she better let me watch Disturbia. I have to get what I want, even when it's out of the good of her heart or something. Who's Catluver3? She has Amanda? I doubt that because Amanda's watching me write this letter. Perhaps a look alike, but whatever!
Sincerely,
Jez
Finn POV
Kat made sure that I would give this letter to everyone. No one knew to go downstairs, so I quickly sat down in the Chair.
"MEETING!" I yelled. Everyone piled in and Charlene stomped her foot when she saw me in the chair.
"'Sup?" Maybeck asked from the spinny chair by the leather couch.
"A letter addressed to all of us. Here," I said.
"Hey Keepers,
Just wanted to know. Are you guys like a family? Is there one that always gets picked on? Is there one that you all treat like the baby of the family? My friends and I are close like that, and I'm the one that gets picked on… meh.
Sincerely,
Do I have to Tell You My Name?"
"It's fairly obvious we are some sort of family, so it's a yes to the first question," Willa said.
Dear Do I Have To Tell You My Name,
I wrote on another letter.
We are a family, a strange family, nonetheless.
"Who gets picked on?" I asked.
"Philby," Willa said.
"Charlene," Philby said.
"Amanda!" Charlene protested.
"Finn!" Amanda accused.
"Guys!" I exclaimed. "It's Maybeck."
"What?" he said suddenly, not even paying attention.
"Ohhhhh," everyone chorused.
Maybeck is the one we pick on, because he's… 'man' enough to take it, and also not the brightest when Philby makes a sophisticated joke on him, calling him the 'Spockless nit' or something. Maybeck thought it was a cleaning company, 'Spockless'.
"Is there a baby in the family?" Charlene asked, recalling the next question.
"Willa," we all said.
"Hey! No I'm not!"
"Name the last time you freaked."
"Name the last time YOU freaked, can you remember? No! So it was a while ago! If anything it was Finn when Amanda went into a coma."
"But I'm the leader so it doesn't count," I persisted.
No one's really the 'baby' of the family, but I think it's Willa. Maybe not. Maybe.
Love,
Finn, Maybeck, Philby, Charlene, Willa, and Amanda
Me: Stupid Bear-Hounds. Always interfering.
Finn: It's Broomhilda's fault! You let her out of her cage!
Me: She has to move, you know.
Finn: Dumbledore helped at least.
Me: I got back as fast as I could!
Finn: You could've..
Read and Review? Cutting off Finn is important. Didja know I have a Facebook now? Now you do. It's Kat OfFlorida, because I put 'OfFlorida' as my last name and it put a space between. It's blank, I haven't added any info, but it's me! And Finn. Sort of. Anyway, review like there's no tomorrow! I might not update tomorrow, so that gives you an extra day to come up with some good questions!
Amanda: You haven't sent anything to me!
Shut up Amanda. Selfish. Okay, bye!
