LUCY POV

Slide. I jumped up onto the coffee table and started to dance to the Cha Cha slide, which was on at full volume, in my scratty old holey pyjamas. You see this is what happens when I'm left alone to think. I start doing some of the craziest things. This time the crazy thing being dancing to cheesy music and dancing around the house like I'm in a tacky chick flick.

OK. So Solange, Isabeaux, Helena and Hunter left a little while ago. And when I say a "little while" I mean four hours ago. Helena, Isabeux and Solange had to head back to the farm house quickly so the boys and men didn't get suspicious. Like they would there thick enough to do the tasks aren't they?

And Hunter actually had some studying to do.

So they've left me here. All alone, to think of Duncan's task. And it is really very hard. I mean don't misunderstand what I'm saying and make some snap judgement and think I haven't thought of anything. Because I have. The only problem being everything I've thought of quite a few things- actually, weren't expecting that were you?

You see Duncan doesn't embarrass easily, I mean the guy doesn't even get angry. The guy has the patience of ... a well I don't know but something that has a ridiculous amount of it. The only time I've ever seen him even wince is when Quinn uses some cheesy pick up lines to score "chicks"...

Whoa- is it just me or is it getting really loud in here? So any ideas? Nope, jeez I need to come up with something quick, I only have a few hours until all the Drakes will be up. I sighed turned my music off, jumped onto the couch and switched on the TV.

Blah, why would I want to watch Tool academy? If you think there a tool, don't go out with them. It's not rocket science. And even someone of the women on that show are hypocrites to put their boyfriends on when there not much better.

So I switched to the next channel which was How I met your mother. That's ok, I quite like it, and Barney reminds me of Quinn. "I penguin-suited up to show you the error of your ways." Huh Duncan really hates it when me and Solange watch this.

Wait... Duncan hates it when anybody who uses ridiculous methods to pick up women and/or men.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, where's a pen? I jumped and ran... straight into the door. OW. The good thing about having Nicky around, he would have caught me around the waist before I injured myself. Ah call me sappy but I'm kind of looking forward to the end of this week, not only will I be able to argue with Nicholas again and walk without fear of being injured but I will also be able to see him humiliated. It's hard to tell I love him, isn't it?

Gah.

*silence*

*heavy breathing*

(I think I'm having a panic attack)

Did I just say I love him? We've been going out about 2 weeks and I'm in love with him. Damn what ever happened to the Nicky I couldn't stand?

Nicholas POV

Ow, the damn cat keeps scratching me. Dad loves having Lucy as a cat. They've been getting on great, I'm starting think mums a bit jealous, and she glares whenever Dad and Lucy are near each other. I really need to remember that I should never get Dad a cat even though I was going to get him one for his birthday, but now I think I'll just get him a meeting with a tribe or council we don't have a treaty with yet.

So any way I am being badgered by Quinn. You may be wondering why, and to be honest his reasoning is kind of odd, but apparently I need to help him "get" Hunter Wild who seems to be immune to his charms. So any way I should be some expert at this as I managed to "get" Lucy, even though "we" hated each other.

And he wouldn't even let me correct him and say that she hated me and I've loved her for the past year. Jeez, people get so confused when it comes to the facts. I don't think Duncan even realized we were going out until a week later. He came in and shouted "Lucy's sick", we all jumped up and were about to start panicking when Dad (always the mature and level headed member of our family) asked "Son, what's wrong with her?" this is when we all realized he had no ideas me and Lucy were dating, which is weird as it seemed most my brothers deliberately try to catch us snogging, or as Quinn would go "ah look at them macking in the moon light" if anyone is yet to realize it, I feel the need to clarify my brother is insane, this isn't just me saying it have you ever been on the receiving end of one of my brothers great plans to hook up with a girl? No? Well I have. It's a long complicated story but to sum it up I looked like a girl, Quinn was drunk so he tried to hit on me. This was just after his change and he was in denial about the whole food having no taste and no sunlight thing.

"Boys" Dad yelled. Me and my brothers got out of bed quickly and headed to the closet. Mum, Dad, Solange, Isabeaux and Aunt Hyacinth. Mum went and opened the closet door holding her breath. I wonder what she has to be nervous about. She bent down and picked up the letter, this time there was a faint smell of lemon I couldn't quite place, though it defiantly smelt familiar.

Mum let out her breath quickly once she read the name on the front of the letter, and handed it to Duncan. He took from her although his hands were shaking slightly, opened the letter quickly and began to read.

"Hello Duncan " he started
