Okay guys, here's the next chapter just like I promised. There is currently nearly 5 inches (how many is that is centimeters?) of snow outside and it doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon. Looks like there won't be school tomorrow (sadly because I was accepted into a new class at school a semester late! Plus, it's one of theharder classes supposedly!) I would also like to thank all of you who reviewed (Six entire reviews! I'm so happy!) and here are my comments and replies so that you readers can here them because some of them are important to the story:

gaarasgrl19: Yes, Isaac is currently a meanie (currently).

Lightning Blade: Thank you for your complements. I wanted to try to make this story as realistic (to me) as possible. I also added a bit of my life to her's and gave her a couple of my traits so that I could write this story better. The part about the baby was (sadly) real. We had Baby Braydens wake on Feb. 17th. And his family is doing really well despite the odds and my friend hasn't missed a day of school because of it. They are a very strong family and I respect them a great deal.

SeaDevil: Isaac is the way he is for a reason and he is going to be 'a patchwork of colors'. It's going to be very hard for him to accept Feng as part of his family because of how she came to be (his father cheating on his mother when his mother was four month pregnant with his baby brother.) He is what he was raised to be and from his past experiences. He has a very important role to play in this story and you'll guys find out why at a later date. I'm also glad that you liked that I dedicated the last chapter to you. :)

KitKit: Don't start hating Isaac quite yet. And don't think that the other siblings are going to accept her just like that (trust me on this). The other siblings and family members will hopefully be introduced next chapter. I am in three orchestra's currently (for the regular Orchestra that I'm in we are playing Incantations by Richard Meyer- I am first chair bassist- if anyone wants to listen to it on youtube. For the Chamber Orchestra I'm the only bassist for the Vivaldi Masterwork Gloria. And then I'm in the High School All County Orchestra. I also play cello and sometimes Viola and I want to learn the Harp soon.) Add to that Mixed Chorus, a Piano class and now a Music and Theory Class. I'm doing my Advanced Regents Deploma through Music.

Wolfie: I'm glad you liked the twist I added to it. The romance is fast approaching but not in this chapter. I hope you like this chapter as well.

DinoDinosaur: Shh, don't spill the beans! That was supposed to be a surprise! And besides you guys have already met his avatar, so shhh! :P

None of you heard that last bit! Now to the dedications... It goes the the six people listed above that reviewed! If you want a chapter dedication: REVIEW! I want 5-6 reviews before I upload the next chapter (which could be as early as tomorrow night if I get the reviews :P ).

Now onto the story!

Once we got back to Mom's house, Isaac made a beeline for the freezer and took one of the many icepacks that my mother kept on hand- do not ask why because it's a long story. I, however, made a beeline for my room to pack up ALL of my clothes into my trunks. Now why was I packing all of my clothes? To make Isaac miserable, of course. Dad had assigned Isaac to help me in any way, shape or form.

I put my second life headset into my carryon bag along with one of my favorite books of all time- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows- and some other trivial things. It took me nearly an hour to pack all of my things and when I'd finally gotten the final trunk closed Isaac was knocking on my door demanding entrance.

"Open the door, Midget," He called angrily. "We don't have all day and the plane leaves in an hour, not to mention we have to still get to the airport and get through security only to get on the plane and find our seats."

"I'm ready," I said unlocking and opening my bedroom door so that he could grab my trunks and bring them out to the limo. I gave him ten minutes before he called the driver to help him- I do NOT travel light. I playfully kissed his cheek and he snarled at me as I said, "Have fun, big brother."

I heard a thud and a gasp of pain as I skipped down the stairs. Poor guy must've punched the door- the doors had steel in them because we never bothered to replace them after we moved in, they were painted to look just like wood however. I snickered as I hopped over to mom and sat in the chair next to her. She handed me a steaming cup of coffee- may the gods bless her.

Isaac came crashing down the stairs, my red trunk hot on his heels. He didn't even stop at the bottom but just kept running straight out the door. Once my trunk landed with a thud- I was long past rolling on the floor- he stuck his head back in through the door and glared at me.

"Don't you dare ruin any of my things," I said, choking on a laugh.

"Devil spawn," He spat at me as he dragged the trunk out the door, muttering under his breath as he went. I just kept laughing and mom even let out a tiny snicker- she actually snickered!

"That child is a piece of work," Mom said smiling slightly. "He may have doctorates in not only medicine, law, and I forget the last thing, but he has a temper on him."

For some reason, today was a day for laughing. "I think I figured that out when he managed to make Sammy mad enough to nearly kill him. He's gonna be in pain throughout the flight."

"Give him a tiny bit of a break, will you?" Mom asked growing serious. "You'll have to live with him for the next month and maybe even longer than that once Richard and I get married."

I spit out a mouthful of coffee which managed to spray onto Isaac as he came back in to replace the icepack before getting the next trunk. He went pale when he saw the state of his precious suit. He glared at me- again- as he started dabbing paper towels on his clothes to remove the wetness.

"When was this?" I spluttered. "You're seriously not going to marry him are you? Please tell this is a joke."

"It's not, Feng, and you will accept it eventually," Mom said looking at me sternly. Oh, come on. Can't I just have a break from all of this for once? Once I get on that plane I'm going to play second life and go kill some dragons. Killing dragons is fun; killing dragons relieves stress; killing dragons will help me forget.

"Let me help you with the trunks," I told Isaac as I went upstairs and picked up my brown trunk as he grabbed my dark green one and we put them into the trunk of the limo before sitting in our respective places all the way to the airport. I didn't even say 'Good bye'.

Once we were situated on the plane- seated next to each other in first class- Isaac looked at me before asking, "What did you put in your trunks? Rocks?"

"Kinda," I replied. "Only paper, acrylic, and cloth rocks."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Books and shoes," I said to ease his confusion. He nodded when what I said made some sense to him. "If you looked at the four empty bookshelves you would have been warned."

"I was busy trying not to look at that hideous closet you called a bedroom," he replied. I laughed. "You should try to get some sleep. This will be a few hours."

I nodded and took out my second life headset and saw that he was also taking one out. I nodded to his and asked, "You play?"

"It helps me to get away from all the work and stress," he reluctantly replied.

"That it does," I smiled at him. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

"Don't start getting any ideas, Midget Slut. I will not give you my avatars name so you can annoy me inside the game just as much as out. I can only put up with your ugliness for a certain number of hours."

Or maybe not. "Get out of here, Asshole," I said turning his game console on and let it take him into the world of sleep, him being unwilling. He actually looked cute when asleep, I had to admit. If only he didn't open his mouth. I sighed and turned on my headset and left the realm of reality in favor of that of make believe.

When I logged on, the first thing I registered was the smell of something wonderful wafting through the room in which I'd logged my toon off in. I sat up in bed and my stomach rumbled. I grabbed a towel and ran to the bathroom and took the quickest bath possible before going back to my room to put on some fresh clothes and heading towards where the smell came from.

"Morning, sweet," Auntie said before handing a bread bowl filled with the delicious smelling stew and the center piece of bread. "Eat up before you go anywhere."

"Smells fantastic," I grinned at her. "And it's just what I was looking for."

"Where are you off to today?" Uncle asked sitting down.

"I heard there was a book shop down by the lake where that couple's café is and I wanted to check it out and see if they have any nice books there," I said. I'll admit that sometimes I can be a book fiend- hence me making my own books from the notes that I'd been compiling. "Maybe I'll show then one of my notebooks and publish it as a kind of guide."

"I'm sure quite a few people would buy your work," one of the three other players in the room said. His name was Isaiah, a night elf priest, who I'd made friends with rather quickly. "Your notes are thorough and you add a touch of life to it and it's not boring like the online website guide. Plus your stuff is way more detailed."

"Thanks," I said kissing his cheek. We'd gotten into the habit of doing that once we came across the problem of people stalking us due to our looks. It was a problem for Isaiah because he was gay and it was a problem for me because it interfered with my plans. "Do you wanna come?"

"Sure," he said. "Maybe today I'll get lucky and find some nice eye candy."

I laughed. "Is that all you're thinking about?"

He thought for a moment then said, "Yup, pretty much."

"Unforgivable," I laughed jokingly as we finished up our breakfast. "Now let's go."

The book store was small yet cozy and even had a very pretty fireplace in it with some sofas and chairs around it for people to sit and read on. Bookshelves covered all of the walls and there were bookshelves in the middle of the room in long rows with isles in between so that people could look through them. All in all it looked quite like a Barnes and Noble that I'd been to once. I liked it!

Isaiah immediately left me to go to the romance section to see what they had and five minutes later I saw him talking to a girl with pretty green eyes and I knew immediately that she'd soon have a broken heart, the poor thing. I headed straight for the sections with guides to second life to see what there was already. To my surprise there were hardly any and what was there was horribly written and didn't attract enough interest for the readers to actually be able to use it without falling asleep.

As I was looking through the books, a dark purple-haired demon bard walked up to me. He was looking at me curiously- probably because hardly anyone ventured to read the books that I was at that moment. He asked me if I needed any help. I turned to look at him fully. He had major credentials in the looks department, I had to give him that, and it looked like he was smart. He was probably in charge of the Bookstore.

"Do you know how someone could publish a book if they wanted to?" I asked him. It was a shot but hopefully he'd know.

"I'll set up a meeting for you," he said nodding at me. "During the meeting you show me what you want to publish and then together we decide on the other details and finalities."

"Awesome," I grinned. "Should we set up the time now?"

"Actually," He said taking out a planner from his pocket and looking at it. "I have the time now if you have the book in question."

"I have my rough copies," I said smirking. "I never go anywhere without them."

"Let's go in back and talk about them," He smiled at me. "My name is Guiliastes by the way, but everyone calls me Gui."

"It's nice to meet you Gui," I said holding out my hand. "My name is Elva."

"Ah, so you're Elva," He said looking at me again. "Wolf and Yulian have told me all about you. I guess you're thinking about publishing one of your research journals then?"

"As a sort of guide," I nodded. "I'm planning on making them for the plants and creatures in each specific area. Each book will be a separate area in Second Life and eventually I hope to expand them to the other four continents. That is if these are successful and I have the time."

"Why were you looking at the other guides?"

"To look at the competition and to see what there was so far and how they were written, which by the way was rather poorly," I said before going into detail on all the mistakes in them that I had found. The bard just looked at me as we walked into a small office in the back of the book store. "They tried to put too much information and it wasn't even organized properly, to top it all off."

"I'll have to remember not to have any more of that edition printed anymore," Gui muttered to himself. "No one really bought it anyway.

"So," he said this time loud enough that I knew he was talking to me and not himself. "Show me your journals and I'll help you to revise it if it needs it and we can get all the details and such out of the way and the prices and what naught."

I must have definitely impressed him with my attention to details and the flair I had added so that people wouldn't fall asleep while reading the guides. I think he was also rather impressed with how I organized the journals as well.

"This is much more useful than the other one," Gui said patting me on the back. "The other one was probably from when Second Life was still new. Things have changed dramatically since then and not everything is even remotely the same. I like how you organized each one into two sections animals, then monsters, then plants. That was ingenious. Also you added not only descriptions of each put pictures as well and any added variations that may have been found and added other things that looked similar to them under a warning at the bottom of the page just in case. You also added what each thing drops and at what rates.

"This was very well thought out and really, all we have to do is change a few wording problems and it's ready for publish," He started scribbling on piece of parchment. "A lot of people will most likely be buying this to help with their gaming experience. I think you could get nearly twenty gold pieces a book and then as more people start buying it, lower it down to ten or maybe even five gold pieces a copy. How many books are you planning?"

"Well I was going to do one for each of the beginning areas and then one for each level area and break that down even further into mob areas," I started and then got into the finer details of what I was planning. He listened with rapt attention. "I want to help create a new era in Second Life I think."

"Hmm, I think you could do that with a little help," He said. "You should ask Yulian to mentor you. You could bounce ideas off each other and if you do that, she has the power that you'll need to get what you want to get done. The only thing is she's very concerned about making as much money as possible; it can be scary at times."

"I would love to see Yulian again," I considered. "Though, I also still want to get my books done."

"You could do both, I'm sure," Gui said. "I personally think that you have loads of potential, especially since you were able to find the Researchers."

"Oh, shite," I said looking at the time. "I need to get going. I'm on a plane flying to France currently and we're due to land soon. My half-brother will be pissed if I don't get up soon."

"Then get going," He said shooing me out the door. "We'll talk another time. If I'm not here, I'm at the other book store that's located more central, or in the Construction department of the castle."

"And you know where I'll be," I smiled at him. "With Auntie and Uncle. Bye."

I quickly collected Isaiah and we walked back to Auntie and Uncles as we both recounted what went on. I was surprised to find out that Isaiah had actually found some male eye candy that returned his interest- I was happy for him don't get me wrong but I was also a tad bit jealous.

I'd never dated before- unless I counted that some from tenth grade who was a total dosh bag. He failed freshman year three times and lied to me saying he was in the same grade as me- he also skipped the last two weeks of school and finals week. Then afterwords he dumped me twice within 12 hours- once over the phone when I went to call to break up with him and then the next morning in front of all of my friends. That was how I found out he'd hired a stalker for his ex-girlfriend –even though he'd said I was his first girlfriend- and then he went and stalked me for about a month the next school year until I talked to the school advisors and they nearly kicked him out.

Back to the original topic… When we got back to Auntie and Uncles, I quickly ate before going to my room and putting on some pajamas that I'd bought and climbed into bed. In a few short minutes I'd be meeting my full family for the first time- well at least Richards side that is…

So I hope you guys liked it and as I said before, NEXT CHAPTER WE MEET THE REST OF THE FAMILY! OMG! I'm so excited, can't you tell?

Yeah, I think this coffee addict had one too many cups of coffee this morning. -_-

So again, I want 5-6 REVIEWS before I upload the next chapter (which could be as early as tomorrow night). Reviews could be anything from comments to questions to well anything (except flames! flames are bad!) Has anyone noticed the pattern in the number of required reviews? I have! Each chapter it goes up by one or two (and will keep going up until I feel like halting it :P )

So hope you enjoyed it,

Sero

P.S. Oop's I forgot the disclaimer! I own nothing btw :P It's Fengs world so she own's everything that Yu Wo doesn't! And what neither of them own goes to mom and dad (because- sadly- this wouldn't be here if they hadn't done it sventeen year's one month and some odd days- please don't make me figure out the exact day they did it... I'm only sixteen for crying out loud!)
