"Oh snap." My aunt said with a smile. My dad stared at us long and hard.
"Can I talk to you outside?" The question was directed at me.
"Sure thing daddy." I said, I stood up and but my hands in pocket. My dad was really protective over all of us, though he seemed more protective of me due to the fact I was the youngest. We went to the porch, He stood in front of me, his face blank.
"Kristen. I'm sorry about always doing this, I just don't want my baby girl growing up so fast." He said, wow I was expecting the 'guys are dicks' conversation. "I know you're growing up, and one day you're going to find that special someone and I'm not ready for when that does happen." He wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug.
"Daddy, I'm 17 and we're dating. It isn't like we're getting married next Tuesday." I tried to joke.
"I know, I know. But I can't help but worry about you." He smiled at me, his blue eyes bright. My eyes were a happy green.
"Daddy, not matter where I go in life, who I get married to, how much time I spend with you guys, how much I love my boyfriend. You'll always be my number 1 man." I said, I stood on my tip toes and kissed him lightly on the cheek. I felt his arms tighten around me, he pressed his lips gently on my forehead, I smiled and we went back inside. I sat back down next to Kyoya while we caught up.
"So what's your boyfriend's name?" My aunt said causing me to chuckle.
"Kyoya Ootori, it's nice to meet you." Kyoya said with his host smile. My phone chimed and I saw a text from Greg. 'Shimmery (Shimari's 'stripper' nickname given by Greg) said u ppl r in town; party at J.L (Jackson Lockwood) 2marrow cans u com?' I bit my lip.
'I'll see' I texted back quickly.
"So how are your classes, are you doing well?" Marissa came back from collage for winter break.
"My classes are fine, not easy, but you know I love a challenge." I smirked lightly.
"That's what she said." Hayley muttered and I snickered.
"How's collage Riss?" I used her nickname, we had a few nicknames for her 'Riss, Rissa, and Rissy.' of course all of us had nicknames for one another. Hayley was 'Hayl (pronounced as hail) and Hay' though Hayl we used the most. Mine were 'Kris, Krissy, Kristy' my friends had an extra two for me that Maggie had creatively *cough* bitchily *cough* 'Shadowqueen' for when I was in a bad mood in the morning or when I was in a bad mood (mostly PMS) and 'Sugarqueen' for when I was in a good mood. Sugarqueen also came with Sweetness by a few. And Greg since I was his bitch and he was mine (worked out an agreement) my stripper name was 'Princess'.

Flashback!

"I got my stripper name for you Krissy." He had a grin on his face. I rolled my chocolate eyes and sighed.
"Oh dear god help me." I muttered, by my side was Joseph who I had been chatting two about when I got kicked out of Wal-Mart...for the 8th time this week... Joseph chuckled.
"Princess!" He waved his arms excitedly, I face palmed and Joseph snickered.
"I ain't no princess, I don't need saving; I'm a queen I got shit to do." I retorted brushing a strand of my auburn red hair behind my ear while Joseph laughed and Greg smirked.
"Whatever you say...Princess." He pinched my side causing me to squeak, Joseph laughed harder.

I smiled at the memory. My phone chimed again. (Greg italics Kristen bold)

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!'

I said maybe! IDK if i can

come on princess!

I told you to quit calling me that ages ago

but princess!

*eye roll*

Well than!

I'm sorry, please forgive me! I didn't mean to hurt you.

Oh, I could never stay mad at you

LOL (bold italic is both bitches)

I will text you later

bye princess!

I rolled my eyes at the nickname but smiled.
"Who are you texting?" My uncle asked, probably trying to embarrass me.
"It's Jake...Jake from State farm." I said causing him to laugh while I smiled putting my phone in my pocket.
"Oh yah, Mari (Shimari's nickname) remind to text Jake later." I said causing Kyoya to raise an eyebrow.
"Jake from State farm?" He questioned and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Sure, let's go with that." I snickered at the expression on his face that was hard to describe.
"I'm going to head up for the night. Night everyone!" I said my hand raised above my head in a childish wave.
"We should probably head up too. Night, thanks for letting us stay mom and dad!" The girls said.
"Hey, their my parents!" I snapped playfully.
"And I'm their adopted daughter." Shimari rolled her eyes in a 'duh' manor causing me to laugh.
"Yah but I'm the favorite daughter." Maggie poked in.
"Actually Toral is probably our favorite daughter." My dad said, Shimari, Maggie, and I's mouths gapped open.
"Well then, I see how it is." I said dramatically causing my mom to roll her eyes. I felt a pillow hit me square in the face.
"You said you were leaving, scat." Marissa snapped though she was grinning.
"I knew you never loved me!" I wailed like Tamaki.
"Go to bed Derp." Rissa laughed.
"That is Herp de Derp to you." I stuck up my nose playfully and we went to bed, the dogs trailed behind us slightly. We all climbed in the bed, the soft and familiar comforter made me smile softly, I lay between Haruhi and Maggie, Lexy squished her way between Haruhi and I. I laughed and wrapped my arm around the dog and she licked my cheek. Addie smooshed between Maggie and me, Boo and Bello sat on my legs. Though the bed was full and there felt like there was no room, it was snug in a comfortable way.

Angelina woke up, her light brown hair was messy; dark brown eyes scanned the area. Was Mari (pronounced Modi) awake? She poked her head down from the upper bunk at her sleeping sister who was sleeping soundly. She grabbed a stuffed teddy bear and tossed it at her little sis who stirred her eyes blinked open while Gia (Angelina's nickname) pretended to sleep.
"Hm? Mari are you up?" She asked innocently.
"Yah,"
"Let's see if Kris will make us breakfast." Angelina said, swinging herself off the top bunk, Mariela got out of her bunk.
"Okay!" The two padded quietly down the hall to Kristen's room. The two girls crept into the room, and saw the girls all sleeping in the bed, Kristen was hidden out of sight from them. The two small children walked silently to the edge of the bed, they saw a girl with short brown hair and pale skin, Haruhi was it... the girls were pretty sure that was her name.
"Now what!" Mariela whispered.
"I don't kn-"Angelina was cut off my large doe like eyes opening staring at them.
"What are you two doing?" Haruhi whispered sitting up brushing a strand of hair from her face.
"We wanted Krissy to make us breakfast." Mariela replied cutely.
"Why don't I just make you two something?" Haruhi suggested but both girls shook their heads. Angelina's long light brown braid swished lightly.
"It wouldn't be the same Haruhi. Could you wake her up?" Angelina asked with a sweet smile that melted Haruhi's heart.
"Sure, Lexy, wake up Kristen." Haruhi said to the caramel colored dog, who begun to lick Kristen's face waking her up.
"What's going on?" Kristen sat up and tucked a frizzy strand of hair behind her ear.
"Will you make us breakfast?" Both girls said cutely with puppy dog eyes that would put Tamaki to shame.
"Sure." Kristen's face melted into a smile. Kristen got out of bed and jammed her glasses on her face and tied her hair back from her face, Maggie let out a mutter in her sleep.
"I need my wallet... where the fuck did you put it you dumb bitch." Maggie spoke in her sleep causing me to chuckle softly. Maggie's eyes flicked open, she stared at Kristen long.
"Who the hell are you and what have you done with my best friend? Maggie said she got out of bed and stared at Kristen. "My best friend wouldn't be awake before noon." She snapped at her looking confused.
"Angelina and Mariela." Was all she had to say and Maggie's suspicious look melted. The five girls went down stairs; Lexy fallowed the other dogs stayed in the bedroom happily moving into the empty spots. When they got into the kitchen Kristen got eggs, milk, and fruits out.
"What would you two like?" Kristen said as she washed her hands and the fruits.
"Pancakes!" Angelina.
"Waffles." Mariela.
"French toast!" They said together with smiles alike.
"What flavors?" Kristen took out bread, cinnamon, sugar, and a waffle iron.

Kristen's POV

"Strawberry,"
"Blueberry,"
"Chocolate chip." They said together.
"Do they always do that?" Haruhi asked.
"Not all the time, only if they have three answers." I answered smiling.
"Can I help?" Maggie asked. I grinned at her.
"Yeah, can you make the French toast?" I asked her while I cut up the fruit putting them in a bowl and made the pancake/waffle mix.
"Can I help?" Haruhi asked.
"Can you make the pancakes? I'm gonna fry bacon and make waffles. Make the pancakes either chocolate chip, strawberry, or blueberry, oh and can you make a few strawberry and blue berry?" I asked as I begun to fry bacon, putting some batter in the waffle iron.
"We wanna help!" The girls said cheerfully.
"Can you two set the table? We need 25 plates and forks." I said, we begun to work on the breakfast, after the waffles were done I worked on bacon and eggs, when Maggie was done with French toast she mixed cinnamon with sugar to put on the French toast, then made coffee. When Haruhi was done she put glasses on the table and made some sausage; people woke up to the sweet smell of food. Everyone was awake but Kyoya and Hunny.
"Come on Sarah." I said I walked upstairs while Maggie and Haruhi were putting finishing touches on the breakfast. Sarah and I went into Kyoya and Hunny's room. Sarah woke up Hunny first, he wasn't pissed since she woke him with a kiss like in 'Sleeping Beauty'. The two short third years left and I was left with waking up Kyoya. Shit. I wasn't scared, but according to Tamaki he wakes up in a very bad mood. I crawled onto the bed and sat my knees in-between his legs, his raven hair was messy and he looked peaceful. I poked his cheek.
"Wake up." Poke.
"Wake up." Poke
"Wa-" His eyes flicked open and he flipped over so he was on top of me, my wrist pinned above my head.
"I went to bed very late last night working, and hardly got any sleep so if you would kindly let...me...sleep." He growled at me, I smirked flipping us over so I sat on his chest straddling him my hands held his arms down and he rose an eyebrow.
"I was woken up by my cousins; I made a special breakfast, so you can quit being a whiney ass bitch and go eat. The only way I'm letting you stay in here is if you're in a body bag." I said meeting his dangerous glare with a venomous one of my own.
"Fine, since you already woke me up." He said he tried to get up but I wasn't loosening my grip. He flipped us over and his lips brushed against my ear and in a whisper he said, "And by the way you're really adorable when you're mad." He brushed his lips against my cheek and got up; my face wash bright red and I tried to cool down my face. We went down and I got Mariela a plate with a piece of French toast with cinnamon sugar cut up, some eggs, a piece of bacon, and cold apple cider. For Gia I got her a plate that consisted of a waffle with syrup, some eggs, and cold apple cider. My plate consisted of a few chocolate chip pancakes, a few pieces of bacon, screw the eggs, and a cup of coffee. I sat by Mariela conversing with the four year old like I would anyone else. When we were done with breakfast I washed some plates putting them in the dish washer. I went upstairs taking a quick shower. I stepped out of the hot water and into the steam wrapping a towel around my body, the other one wrapped around my hair. I pull on a Brandeis blue tank top and a pair of worn in light jeans. I took my hair down from the towel, my dark hair clung to my heart shaped face like seaweed to a rock curling lightly. I ran a large brush through my thick long hair before tying it into a bun holding it with black chopsticks. I skip makeup and leave the bathroom throwing my pj's in the hamper putting my sweatshirt on a sofa in my bedroom. I go downstairs and see everyone chatting, Tamaki talking to Kyoya 100 miles an hour while Kyoya nodded and rolled his eyes when necessary. I go to the kitchen and grab a cup and get ice water sipping from it lightly.
"Maggie, Maggie, Maggie!" I said grabbing her by the wrist.
"What, what what?!" She said with a smirk. I shot her a grin and she nodded. The host stared at us.
"What are you doing?" Tamaki asked, he was out of his chair in a second.
"Nothing." I answered coolly.
"Well we're coming with you." The twins said; I roll my eyes and we go upstairs into my room.
"Why are we in here?" Hunny asked cutely. I walked to my book case and stopped in the middle of it.
"What are you doing Kristen?" Kyoya's voice was cool. I turned around with a cat like smirk on my face, I put my pointer finger to my lip in a hush manor and spun on my heel. I stood on my toes and grabbed a small key, I pulled off a copy of 'Dark Blue Color me Lonely' and there was a small key hole; the host were silent and interested. I put the key in turning it when I hear a click I smirked to myself. I groped for the edge of the bookshelf and pulled at it opening to a set of stairs. I grabbed the key, the head of it was heart shaped. I step into the passage and grin wickedly at them.
"Are you coming?" They usher in quickly; I close the bookshelf behind them and lock it, just in case. We walk up the stairs, they coiled around the wall, the sound of footsteps echoed.
"Do your parents known about this?" Kyoya said walking with me.
"No, and they won't." I said with a grin. "Wouldn't it be really cool if I had a torch or something?" I said as we got to the top. The room was shrouded in darkness, tarps covered the walls, cans of paints on the floor, brushes everywhere, right where I left them.
"Is this some sort of murder room?" Haruhi asked causing me to laugh.
"No, this is my painting room." I said, I grabbed the corner of a tarp and pulled it off a wall, the wall had an outline sketched on it, it was a circle with a curved line in the middle, coming from the circle look like petals of a flower.
"What is it?" Haruhi came behind me and I smiled.
"The sun and moon are one whole, without one there cannot be the other." I said smiling softly. "I was coming in here to work on this one with Maggie but you all came so if you don't wanna feel free to leave." I said grabbed a can of orange paint and a thick brush to work on the sun part, I heard rustling and Tamaki was at my side with a smile.
"How can we help?" I laughed, I had him working on a back drop, a sunset, I showed him how to blend the colors on the floor making a small sunset. The twins were working on the moon side, Haruhi and Maggie worked on the flames on the sun, Toral and Sarah were guiding on color coordination, Diego Payton and Carson were sketching on the ground with chalk eyes for the sun and moon. Hunny and Mori were doing the perimeter with black Celtic knots, Shimari and Casey were showing them how to do the knots, Kyoya was with me helping me work on the sun. While paint was drying on the sun I grabbed the sketch pad on the floor with the idea of the mural was a rough sketch, the bottom layer of abstract petals was pink, in-between them on the next row was long ribbon looking orange flames, than there was the six pointed blue star with the sun and moon in the middle. Celtic knots ran around the border of the paper.

When the sun was done drying I grabbed a can of gold paint making the sun look like there were ripples of fire on it, sketching out the eye with chalk. The lips on the sun and the moon were a golden looking, the blue crescent moon had ripples of gold on it also. Diego did the sun eye, Carson and Payton did the moon making them blank and white as snow. By the time we had finished it was towards the end of the day meaning the party would be in a few hours.
"Mama." I said to Maggie who turned to me.
"Yes?" She asked as she tied her long red hair back, paint splattered on my jeans and a bit on my tank top.
"There's a party tonight at Ass hat's you wanna come with me?" I said pulling a chop stick out of my hair making it fall to my mid back.
"There's a party? We wanna go!" The twins said happily.
"Hell no." I said with a glare.
"We see how it is." Hikaru grabbed a paint brush, Kaoru had a gallon of paint, the older twin dunk the brush and was about to smear it over the wall.
"Hikaru, if you do that I will duck tape Kaoru to a wall chop off his arms set them on fire and make you eat them." I growled dangerously low.
"Can we please go?" They said in a meek voice placing down the paint.
"Of course." I smirked and walked down stairs, I unlock the door and we go into the bedroom, I lock it and sat on the sofa.
"Okay well you people leave while we're getting ready." I kick the guys out and smirked, Haruhi looked scared, she was our victim.

One Hour Later (French narrator from Spongebob)

The guys were waiting for the girls, we were having dinner and leaving.

Haruhi wore a light cream blouse with a small black bow on the breast, lace on the neckline, sleeves and edge of the blouse, black skinny jeans, white ballet flats, and a pink flower in her hair.
Maggie wore a dark purple cocktail dress with skinny spaghetti straps, white lacy frill on the sweet heart neckline and a ruffled skirt, black heels 3 inches tall.
Madison wore a short black skirt with neon aqua blue on the edge, a grey tank top/ blouse, black gloves, and knee length boots.
Toral wore a green half top with matching skinny jeans and a brown anklet with a gold pendent on it, her hair was in a large bun and a golden head piece.
Casey wore a red one shoulder tank top that showed her belly, a red knee length skirt with a few layers, they were going darker in shades, a red necklace tied at her neck with an amber gem in the middle, two gold wrist braces on her arm about five inches down her arm, followed by a golden bangle, and red flats.
Shimari wore strapless black half top that showed her stomach, aqua blue short shorts over black tights that went to the ankle and black flats.
Sarah wore a black half top, the neckline that had a slight v-neck was covered in red-gold fabric looking like fire, a short skirt that started red and faded gold over brown tights, and red flats.
I wore a short strapless black dress with black fishnet tights, black heeled boots, fishnet gloves, a black ribbon hung on my throat with a black cross, a large white ribbon hung lowly on the dress, my hair in a bun held with chopsticks once more but I put it up more gracefully this time. The people wearing half tops put on a jacket and we went down. I grabbed a fajita and we left hopping into my black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, I drove Maggie sat in shotgun. I was blasting Jon Bon Jovi 'It's My Life'.
"Can't you play something else?" Maggie complained.
"'Driver picks the music, shot gun shuts his cake hole'." I quoted Supernatural causing her to laugh while I hummed along.
"Is there going to be booze at the party?" Shimari asked and I chuckled.
"Dude, this is Jackson we're talking about. Of course there's booze." I laughed with a roll of my eyes.
I just wanna live when I'm alive
It's my life

I hummed along with the music happily as we pulled up, music was blasting I couldn't hear my Bon Jovi anymore; lights flashed around cars were parked down the street. I took the keys out and put them in my bag. We step out and we walk to the door letting ourselves in. I laugh at the loud music, the shitty excuse for dancing and people look wasted. Nice Jackson, classy as always. I was getting a drink when I saw a bitch in a skimpy excuse of an outfit flirting with Kyoya.
"Um, yah slut-bucket he has a girlfriend." I heard Sarah's bitterly sweet voice interrupting the slut.
" I don't see her." She had a tan like most people here and bleached blonde hair making her look like an envelope.
"Turn around." My voice was dangerously calm, she complied her eyes were sharp blue. "Now you do." I smirked at her.
"I don't see much." She hissed at me.
"Look who's talking." I snarled at her. I felt Kyoya's smooth hand seize my wrist.
"Who is she?" Hikaru asked.
"That depends who are you." She flirted with a hideous smile.
"That's what we call a slut." I said as if they were kindergarteners. "A slut is a person who sleeps around and dresses like they can only afford a piece of string." She gapped at me.
"Freak!" She spat her face red in anger.
"Is that the best you got? Wow you're losing your edge Robinson, and I've been making mine sharper. Oh well; makes this a hell lot funner for me." I smirked. She brought her hand back and slapped me, my head whipped to the side; I stared at her; people around stared at us.
"You wanna play? Bring it whore." I slapped her back only two times harder, my nails dug into her skin; blood ran down her face. She leaped at me and grabbed my hair, I grabbed her wrist flipping her over my shoulder onto the floor hard. She pushed herself up and I kicked her back down with the heel of my boot with a bored yet amused look on my face. She tried to push herself up ad I kicked her, she managed to get up before I could kick her and she grabbed me by the throat and pulled herself near my ear.
"I heard about the little stunt you pulled; I'm just going to give you a warning. He's out and is going to find you." She hissed before turning around to leave, my jaw clenched in shock; I swung my fist and felt it connect with her jaw, she fell to the ground.
"LIAR!" I shouted at her I was about to lunge at her again when I was picked up by the waist, I was kicking.
"Krissy, calm down." It was Joseph's calming voice I heard.
"Fuck no!" I shouted struggling in his grip.
"Kristen." He said carrying me off. He let me go and held me by the wrist so I wouldn't run and beat the living shit out of that bitch.
"What did she say? And don't say nothing I saw you tense up she obviously said something." His chocolate eyes bored into mine.
"It isn't anything I can't handle I said brushing a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Bullshit Kristen, you don't always have to be so damn independent! You have McKenna, Ella, Shimari, Maggie, and Madison; Diego and Payton, the Japanese people you go to school with you have all of us. You don't have to do anything alone, why can't you trust us." I felt a tear slip down my cheek.
"It isn't that I don't trust you guys, I just don't want anyone to get hurt because of me." I said I wiped a hand over my cheek.
"What did she say." His voice was serious and deadly calm.
"Damian got out of jail and is going to find me." I felt more tears trickle out of my eye. I felt his thumb brush the tears.
"It'll be okay; we won't let him hurt you. We kick ass!" He fist pumped and I laughed. "There's that smile Sweetness." I scrunched my nose.
"I told you to stop calling me that ages ago." He laughed at the annoyed look on my face.
"Yah but it's fun to piss you off." He grinned at me boyishly.
"You know what's really fun? Murder!" He sweatdropped and I grinned. "Thanks Joseph." I gave him a hug before grabbing him by the wrist to go find Toral and Mori.

"You want to do what?" He said after I explained my master plan.
"We're going to hook up Mai-Chan (Kristen gave Toral the nick name Maia in 5th grade) with Mori-Senpai." I said with a roll of eyes.
"And how are you going to do that?" It was his turn to roll his eyes.
"We Joseph, we. Now watch." I said getting up, I was walking around casually and saw Toral walking up to Mori talking, I tripped her and she fell into his arms when he caught her and I scurried off weaving y way through the crowd, when I saw Joseph he face palmed.
"Really Sweetness, really?" He chuckled and I laughed.
"What did you expect me to do?" I laughed at him. I saw Kyoya walking up to me an amused look on his face.
"That's your master plan to get them together?" He smirked at me.
"Dude, I'm Kristen that's what I do." I leaned into his arms and we went on the dance floor.
"What did she say to you?" He doesn't beat around the bush at all, I scrunch my nose lightly. I sigh already having gone through this.
"She said, Damian got out of jail and he would find me." I stared at my shoes, I gasped when he pulled me into a tight hug wrapping his chin rested gently on my head. He kissed the top of my head in a comforting way.
"He won't I promise." I focused on the smell of mint and spices to keep me from crying.
"How can you promise that? He's just going to fi-" He cut me off by pressing his lips against mine in a passionate kiss, his tongue brushed against my bottom lip asking for entrance which I granted my arms wounded around his neck my fingers played with his hair. I gave a sharp tug of his raven locks and he moaned deep in his throat causing me to smirk. I pulled back for hair and was smirked, I was about to go back in for a kiss when..
"HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT! I MUST RESCUE MAGGIE!" I shouted, Kyoya turned to where I was looking. Maggie was uncomfortably dancing with a guy since she was to nice to turn him down. The guy had messy dark hair and a farmers tan, he wore jeans that clung to his hips and his arms her wrapped around Maggie's waist in a slow dancing way. I got out of Kyoya's arms and walked over to them, I ducked low and squished my way between them wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Comfy, come on babe we're dancing." I said, the guys mouth gaped open. "What's the matter?" I smirked at him, Maggie wrapped her arms around my neck like if Hikaru and Kaoru were doing there twincest act.
"W-w-wait so you two a-are..."
"Lesbians? Yes." We walked away, the twins laughing their asses off; Maggie and I also laughing our asses off. I felt tears in my eyes, my sides hurt from laughing so much.
"It...hehehe...isn't a real friend..hehe...ship without homosexual hehe moments." I tried to sober down my laughter.
"Didn't you do something like that before?" Casey asked snickering.
"Yah but Maggie was saving my ass." I stopped my full laugher and it was reduced to giggles and snickers. We stayed at the party a bit longer before heading back to my place. I drove the car and when we got to my place I take my keys out the ignition and we head inside. I pressed my lips against Kyoya's before going to my room. I put on pink checkered/ plaid tank top and fuzzy checkered pants and a matching robe. I crawled into bed with the girls and they were asleep quickly. I crawled out of bed and put on a pink checkered robe and crept out of the room. I walked down the dark hall, I went down the stairs and went outside, the cold winter air made me shudder lightly. I go outside the cold grass between my toes, dew already starting to form. I walked to the back where the playground was, three swings, a trapeze, a slide, a three house, another swing and trapeze. I climbed up the three house and on the side, pushing myself onto the green bar that held the three swings. I sat on the beam swinging my legs lightly. The cold air made me shiver lightly. After ten minutes I swung myself off the beam and walked back away from the house where two trees held an old hammock. I climbed up one of the trees where two branches were almost parallel but spread out in a v-shape. I sat one branch my legs were kicked up on another, my eyes drifting shut.

PLEASE READ THIS:

Hey sorry I haven't updated, things have crazy, I have a huge test Tuesday; I just finished a project and my math teacher is giving us ass loads of homework. Anyways I love you all for reading, please review and for this chapter I have a question. That's right bitches!

Anyways...

Who should Maggie end up with Kao-chan or Hika-chan?
