Hello all you lovely people of Earth. I'm Back!

I do try to update as fast as I can, but bear with me because I can't only type. I still have a life.

Anyways, onwards with the story

Disclaimer. I don't own anything except Hunter, Alice, Alyssa and Andrew. If I did, why would I be writing fanfiction.

Enjoy.

The moment would have been so perfect if I smashed the door in his face. Or if I shouted at him or even if I had completely ignored him till he left. He was the reason that Andrew and I was on the plane in the first place. Andrew was in the hospital because of this man?

I took another look at Dexter. He wasn't a man. He couldn't be any older than me! He had bright red hair and huge bulky glasses. If that didn't make him appearance awkward, then his clothing choices did. He wore a bright bleach-white labcoat paired off with a pair of purple gloves. He spoke with a heavy Russian accent which made it very difficult to follow what he was saying. I signed, knowing that no one could have caused the plane crash.

"Alright. Come on in." I let him down the hall to the kitchen. "You mind if we talked in the kitchen? I haven't spent a whole lot of time here and I keep getting lost." He nodded. "Kay, what do you need to talk about."

He pushed up his glasses and opened his mouth, but his phone began ringing. He signed. "May I go answer this in the hall? I shouldn't take long."

"Go ahead. Do you want anything to drink?"

"No thanks." Dexter got up and, walking out into the hall, answered his cell. I considered listening in to his call, but it would have been no use to me.

"Hunter! Are you making coffee? And, more importantly, can you bring me some? I'm thirsty!" Cue the headache named Alice.

"Yea, I'm making coffee and no! I have a visitor and you've got two legs that aren't broken. Go get it yourself!" I shouted back to her. She's been upstairs with Alyssa trying to sort out what they want in their rooms. So far, I've had to bring up popcorn, chips and some weird watermelon-flavored soda. We all got lost the first couple times exploring so we ended up using Marco Polo to find each other.

I heard her run down the staircase and a loud thud as she jumped down the last five steps. "Fine you insufferable meanie head. I'm here now. Where's the coffee?"

"Same place as it was two days ago."

"No need to get sarcastic, meanie."

"No need to be childish, drama queen."

"Ha ha ha. Alyssa and I will be upstairs. Who's your guest?"

"My uncle's employer. He came here because I was in the crash. He apologized at the door, but he still wants to talk to me about something. I don't know what. Just stay upstairs and I'll tell you later." It's been like this ever since the crash. The three of us have been inseparable. Maybe it's because we survived the plane crash together or maybe it's because we are so compatible together, but either way, we're grown to each other. Alice is like the annoying fashionista sister. She knows how to mix fashion and get underneath my skin. I'm the rebel emo brother in the trio. I'm the chilled out one who also keeps his calm. Alyssa's the nerdy gamer chick that always had to play peacemaker.

"Fine. I'll see you later." Alice turned and went up the stairs as Dexter came back from the hallway.

"Is Ms. McCrow whom you will be staying with? I hope you know what you're doing." Dexter watched Alice as she jumped up the stairs. "Staying at a near stranger's house, I couldn't do that even if my life depended on it."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "What do you want? You told me that you were sorry at the door so why bother coming inside?"

Dexter signed and looked back at me. "Your uncle is a good intelligent man and I hate that this happened to him or that I'm the one that has to tell you this. It wasn't suppose to be like this. It could happen to anyone but it happened to him. I'm sorry."

I frowned. I wasn't getting the answers I wanted and Dexter sounds like something back has happened to Andrew. I felt my heart tighten like some made a knot with my heart and kept pulling. "What's wrong with Andrew? Dexter! What's wrong with him? He's fine, isn't he? Dexter!" I shouted at him at a nervous tone but his head hung low and he wouldn't meet my eyes and talk to me. I growled at him in a low voice. "Dexter? What happened?"

"They ran multiple test on him to test his physical state of being and, during one of their protocol operations, they discovered something unfortunate. It was a CAT scan, I believe." Here Dexter took a deep breath and looked me in my eyes. "He has an advanced form of brain cancer and multiple tumors in his brain, Mr. Shadows. He doesn't have a lot of time and it is impossible to correctly remove all of said tumors. He is going to die. I'm sorry."

I couldn't move or think or breath. I just felt cold. Colder than usual. Every since the crash, I felt really cold, like I knew something was wrong with Andrew, but hearing that Andrew had cancer, I just couldn't feel anything anymore. Why?! I stared at Dexter's grim face and I knew that he was upset about this too. He didn't want Andrew to die like this and neither did I. "Can you please leave Dexter? I need to think." Nodding, Dexter pulled out a small business card and left it on the kitchen counter.

"Andrew knows and says for you not to worry. If you ever need to talk, call me. This is my private cell number. No one will be ever to hear us talk. I'm sorry and be careful. This town is dangerous." Dexter looked at me sorrowly and turned to the door. "Farewell Hunter."

As soon as he left, I broke down and started crying.

I don't remember anything after that. I guess I must have fallen asleep because, when I woke up, I was in my new, fluffy, king sized bed. Alice and Alyssa must have dragged me up the stairs because my legs are in pain. They must have dragged me up the stairs and my legs hit every one of them. I didn't care though. It didn't matter. Not when Andrew was about to die. I felt the tears build up behind my eyes. NO! I won't cry. It won't help.

I swung my legs over the bed and got up, still fighting back the tears. I decided to go downstairs before I took a shower. Listlessly, I crossed the room and climbed down the stairs. Thankfully, I was an early riser and even more so, I was thankful Alyssa knew how to cook. Alyssa and Alice were already up and in the kitchen. Alice was already eating her eggs and toast while watching the hanging T.V. in the kitchen and Alyssa was making some French toast on the stove, doing a little dance and humming to a tune in her head. Alyssa noticed me first. "Morning Hunter! How you feeling?"

"Yeah. You slept for three days straight. We almost had to get a doctor to come look at you." Alice added without looking away from the T.V. I spat out the orange juice I was drinking out and screamed. "Three days! Why didn't you wake me?" Alice started laughing uncontrollably while Alyssa pursed her lips together.

"Alice! That's not funny!" I signed knowing that Alyssa was on my side. "It's hilarious!" Or maybe not.

After Alyssa and Alice settled down (fifteen minutes later), I told them what Dexter said to me about Andrew. It was safe to say that Alyssa was devastated. Andrew saved her from the crash and she owned him her life.

"Oh, Hunter. I'm so sorry. I wish there was something we can do. Can you go and visit him at the hospital at least? You should be able to go there. I'll come with. He did save my life." I nodded and turned to the golden pancakes on my plate. "Wha? Hunter! Do you even care about him?! He's in the frickin' hospital with cancer and you're sitting here, stuffing your face with my, albeit very good, pancakes."

I signed and looked up at her. "Of course I care about him. He's my uncle. But I don't think I can stand seeing him like that. He was always there for me, even when my father left. If I see him now, I'll break down and start crying and he wouldn't want that. Beside, there is nothing we can do about his..." I struggled to find the right word "Condition. I just feel so empty right now. It's not right for him to go this way." I signed again and looked at Alyssa. "We still have to get to school you know? Andrew would kill me if I missed my first day. He always said that the first day is the best."

Alyssa signed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Alright, you can change the subject. We might as well get ready for today. They won't make us go to class on the very first day and we still have to buy our school uniform and supplies. But I think we can go and check out the school grounds and get our schedules. Alice and I chose to go to a public school this year. Umm, it was called…"

Alice cut in from there. By then she had finished breakfast and was washing her dishes in the sink. "Yasoinaba High. It wasn't my first choice but it's programs are pretty good. So hurry up! We're going to get there while it's the students' lunch period. That way, we can talk to the teachers and maybe meet some of the other students." I widen my eyes in surprise. Alice must have seen my reaction because she starting laughing. "When you go to as many sales as I do, you tend to learn how's the best way for your schedule to go. It's great planning."

After my wonderful shower, I was at the door in my usual black jeans, black hoodie, red and black skull t-shirt and black military boots combo waiting for the girls to arrive. My phone and iTouch was fully charged and ready to go in case I got bored. After sending a quick message to my mom, I went out of the front door onto the porch. Alyssa and Alice were waiting for me and we quickly began walking to the school. It's out that Alice really good at planning as she said because she had already sent us the map of Inaba and a map of the school grounds.

It didn't take long for us to get to the school. Thankfully, it was a nice, sunny day and it was only a Saturday, which was weird for me because I never gone to school on a Saturday before. The building itself wasn't that huge, but it did give Alice's house a run for it's money. With three stories and a practice wing on the side, including the soccer and track fields, the building was already confusing me and I was only looking at the map.

"Great! I'm lost." Making sure to include the sarcastic edge to my voice, I turned and faced Alice. "What monstrey is this? This isn't a school; it's a prison. What have you done women?!" Alice narrowed her eyes and I took a few steps back, fearing that she'll hit me. "Um, please don't hit me. I wish to live."

Alyssa rolled her eyes and took us by the arms. "Come on! Let's get our schedules. The faculties office is this way, I think?"

"Let's just ask someone for directions. I don't think they'll mind." I reached out and grabbed the arm of the next person who passed us by. "Hello miss. My name is Hunter Shadow and I'm sorry if I startled you. My friends and I are new here and have no idea where we are going. Can you help us? We're trying to find the office to get our schedules and find our classes."

Thankfully, the girl wasn't freaking out and calmly pointed to our right. In fact, she facial expression barely changed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Alice and Alyssa give confused looks to each other. They must have noticed the lack of change too. Very softly she replied, "Go right after the shoeboxes and the first room on the right is the one you're looking for."

"Thank you very much." We turned to leave and she slipped something in my arm.

"If you're new, go here. It's a great place to go if you want some good Chinese food. Just ask for Aika." Giving me a small smile, the girl walked away just as the last bell rang. I look down to the flyer she had given me and decided to go there sometime.

"If you're done flirting, we still have to get our schedules." Alice smirked at me as I blushed deeply.

"I wasn't flirting!" Alice gave me a pointed look. "I wasn't!"

Alyssa giggled. She walked next to me and grabbed mine and Alice's arms and dragged us to the office. "Come on and argue later. I can't what for school to start."

I looked over to Alice and we both rolled our eyes as Alyssa kicked open the door lightly. Never would have pegged Alyssa as a nerd but you learn something new everyday.

"Well, that principal was a prevent."

"Yeah! He kept looking at us. Maybe we should have waited before meeting him."

We just finished our meeting with the head of the school. He was an old prevented principal who barely kept his eyes off of the girls breasts. He wasn't even good at hiding the fact. I had to snap my fingers couple of times to keep him on track. In the end, we got our uniforms and schedules and left the room. We were in the hall since Alice didn't want to stay by the stinky shoe boxes. We were looking at the schedules to see if we got the same room. Luckily, Alyssa and Alice both got room 1-1. Unlucky, I got room 1-2, which meant I wasn't with them until lunch.

"It was so uncool that he put Alyssa and I in different room from you too, Hunter. I was hoping to stay with both of you during this year."

I chuckled. "Why, so you can cheat off of our answers? Good luck." I turned and looked at the stairs. "Do you think that we should you to classes now? We have the schedules and I hate to miss something that we might need." I looked back at Alyssa and Alice. ALyssa had a look of extreme joy and was nearly jumping up and down. Alice looked like someone told her that her favorite mall had burned down and it was her fault. Laughing at Alice's face, I began up the stairs. "I'll see you girls at the end of school!"

Finding the room was easy. The teacher inside, not so much. Her name was Kimiko Sofue and she is one of the strangest human beings that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She teaches World History as her profession, but her choice of clothing is what caught my attention. She looks like a real life pharaoh with the crown and the cane. If Alice was here, I think she might have had a mini-seizure when she would have met Ms. Sofue.

Ms. Sofue was at the head desk when I came in. The pharaoh queen looked away from the board to and looked at me. I considered going back outside once I saw her, but I decided against it.

"Hi. I'm Hunter Shadows and I just transferred here. Did I miss the Egyptian era or is this your professional outfit?" I couldn't help myself from blurting out. She just made it to easy.

Ms. Sofue raised her eyebrows at me. "Because what you're wearing classifies as a school outfit." I looked down and saw that I hadn't changed my clothes into my uniform yet. The only thing that I had put on was the tie and that wasnt even on right.

"Touché. So, where can I sit anyways?" Wordlessly, she pointed to the seat next to the window in the middle of the class. "Thanks!" I quickly walked to my seat, avoiding the rest of the students eyes as they bore holes into my head. After dropping all my stuff down on my desk, I quickly laid my head down for a peaceful sleep.

Like it'll be that easy.

I am surprised at the amount of reviews I got that last chapter. Thank you all so very much. On the down side, I'm not getting many reviews. Does this people don't like my story? On the bright side, I'm getting used to writing longer and longer chapters. Yay. This Chapter has almost 3,000 words.

As for the cookie game.

Miss Hamamura:2

Miss Hamamura did PM me the right answer so another cookie for them. Alyssa is loosely based off of Alyssa from Final Fantasy X-III 2. No one did get what game Dexter is from. Yes, he's the same Dexter from Cartoon Network, but I'm looking for a game. So the cookie value is increased for that question.
