A/N- Sorry it took so long to update! I was working on another story, and I wanted to collect ideas for this chapter.

Anyway, you don't want to hear my excuses.

Sophie's POV

Stealing a squirrel?! Really?! I made a mental note to kill Jensi and Keefe later. How did I get roped into this? Actually, Keefe probably needed me because I was really good with animals. That would be useful when it came time to actually get the squirrel.

So, Dex, and I were posted behind a bush, waiting for our plan to fall into place. The others were waiting back at the house.

Dex had whipped up some kind of technology to actually trap the squirrel. Keefe and Fitz were currently waiting to spring the trap, and I was finishing setting the line of peanuts out to attract the poor victim. As I placed the last nut, I ran over to where Dex was sitting, and we all waited, with our breath held.

It took about half an hour, but we finally caught a baby squirrel. The only problem was, the trap was designed for an adult. The poor thing got hurt in the trap. I gasped when I saw this, and ran over. I gently lifted the trap, being careful not to injure the animal any further. Being as gentle as I could, I lifted the creature. I was no bigger than the palm of my hand. The squirrel was clearly terrified, but it couldn't move, due to the injury to it's legs. I glared at Dex.

"You are so lucky that I can have this fixed in a few hours."I said. I turned to the other two boys. "Well, we caught a squirrel. Can we go home now?"

Keefe nodded, and we headed back to the house.


Fitz's POV.

The second we got back, Sophie took the baby squirrel to the med area. She told me, Dex, and Keefe to go inside, and wait with the others. When we got in, we were attacked by questions.

"Did you get the squirrel?" Jensi asked.

Biana rolled her eyes. "More importantly, where's Sophie?"

Keefe held up his hands in mock surrender. "Yo, Foster's fine. She's in the clinic with the squirrel right now. There was a, ah, slight malfunction with the trap."

The others gasped. "Is the squirrel okay?" Marella asked.

I nodded. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, all our phones rang. I looked to see who sent me a message, and saw that it was from Sophie. Opening it, I saw a picture of the baby squirrel curled up, asleep, in Sophie's palm.

The girls reacted with a simultaneous 'Awwww!', while Keefe rolled his eyes.

Another message came up from Sophie. should b out in 30. not as bad as we thought.

I sighed, glad that we hadn't hurt the squirrel too bad. I looked at the others. "What do we do now?"


Sophie's POV

When I came back in with the squirrel- who was asleep in a little cage- I saw the others watching TV. I walked over and sat down on the couch.

"'Sup." I said.
Biana and Marella squealed when they saw me, looked at each other, and screamed "Makeover time!"

Then, they proceeded to drag me upstairs. I tried to resist, but I knew it was futile with them. I glanced over my shoulder with a look that said 'Help!' The guys sat there and laughed, and I play-glared at them.

The girls dragged me upstairs, and sat me in the chair by the vanity that Edaline got me. I don't know why I had it- I hardly used it- but the girls had found use for it, apparently. Biana threw some clothes at me, and Told me to go put them on. I went to the bathroom, and came out a few minutes later in a white cold-shoulder blouse with a peace sign, and a short black skirt with leggings. Marella- who had been looking through all my jewelry- brought me a gold locket, and white diamond studs. I put them on, and tried to look in the mirror, but they spun me so I couldn't see what I looked like. I sighed, and let them put the makeup on me, and straighten my hair.

About twenty minutes later, they finally let me look at myself in the mirror.

Wow.

Just, wow.

They were miracle workers. I had a light-gold eyeshadow that brought out the flecks in my eyes. My skin looked flawless, and they had put blush on, that made my cheeks look rosy. I also had light pink lip gloss on. My straight blond hair fell over my shoulders. The necklace and earrings went perfect with the outfit. I never really thought of myself as pretty, but this was on the edge of being beautiful.

Biana and Marella smiled, proud of their hard work. They ushered me out of the room.

"Go on, show the others!" Biana urged.

I walked downstairs to see the guys' reactions.


Fitz POV

When Sophie came down the steps, I couldn't speak. Biana and Marella had outdone themselves. Keefe wolf-whistled, and I glared at him. Sophie blushed, and hid behind her newly-straightened hair. I walked over to her, and whispered in her ear. "You look amazing."

I kissed her, and then I heard someone clear their throats behind me. I turned around to see Grady and Edaline glaring at me. Actually, only Grady was glaring. Edaline just had a knowing smile on her face.

"We need to talk." Grady said, before turning and walking away. Edaline threw me an apologetic smile, before following her husband.

I felt my face pale, and Sophie squeezed my hand reassuringly. I gave her a slightly scared look, before following her parents.

Cuh-rap!
