Exhausted from giving labor a few hours later, Maralyn was glad to be surrounded by her friends and family. She smiled at Justin who was gently rubbing their baby girl, Sarah Grace.
Peter rushed into the room, to see a Tiny little baby with dark hair and dark eyes. "Can I hold her first? Please?"

Logan bolted upstairs, set on reaching his bedroom at the end of the hall. As he passed his sister’s room, his peripheral vision caught sight of her, sitting on her neatly made bed, devouring some thick novel. Logan stopped and stared, leaning on the doorpost. Her eyes moved back and forth across the page, as if she didn’t even notice him.
“Hey Emmy,” he said, “Where were you? After church you disappeared.”
She answered without looking up from her book, in the dry, monotone voice she always used when interrupted from reading. “Went to the car; I wanted to finish my book.”
Logan scoffed slightly. “You’re still reading it.”
She glared at him, and lifted the book, as if he was supposed to recognize the cover. “New book, hello.”
“You didn’t even say hi to anyone. Don’t you want to make friends?”
“No,” She said, once again reverting to her “I’m reading” tone.
“Whatever,” he laughed, and left her alone. If she doesn’t want to make friends with the other kids here, that’s fine by me.

Justin smiled, then handed the baby to Peter. He watched Peter talk to it and rub the baby's dark eyebrows.

The next day at school Peter immidately went into the office to find out about Junior varsity Boys basket ball tryouts. He found they were on October 15. He got a sheet fro him, Brian and Logan, then rushed out into the hall.

Logan stepped through the school's doors and into the hall, examining all the other kids. High School was new to him, true; and so was this town. Still, he'd never been one to shy away from anything new. In no time, he'd fit in here like jam on a PB&J.
Suddenly he caught sight of Peter, just coming out of the office. He waved, and quickly headed down the hall to meet him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmy entered at the same time as Logan, but other than that they might as well have been in separate states, because her twin brother immediately took off toward some friend or something. Emmy didn't care; her brother wasn't exactly her choice pick of company anyway. She went immediately to her locker. Lots of other kids were all around, but she didn't acknowledge them at all. None of them said anything to her, either; that was good. She liked be left alone.

Peter saw Logan running to catch up with him. HAnding him a flyer for tryouts, he said, "Hey man. Just found out tryouts are october 15."

Jen was frantically searching for her creative writing class, when she found a girl walking alone in the hall. Immediately, she decided to introduce her self. "Hello, I'm Jen." When the girl looked up, Jen saw how much she looked like Logan.

Logan took the sheet, and looked it over. He nodded. "Sweet. This'll be great, huh?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmy looked up as Jen said hello. She looked her over for a few moments, and then said quietly, "Hi." She turned away and took a step. She knew it would be polite to at least tell Jen her name. Normally, she would've avoided talking to anyone as much as possible, but Jen had kindly come up and spoken with her; she deserved more than just 'hi'. Emmy bit her lip for a second and turned back around. "I'm Emiline. Or just Emmy."

Peter nodded. He wasn't about to tell exactly why he was so excited, but the obvious reason was his love for basketball. "So, we still on for teaching me how to skateboard?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jen shook her hand. "Pleased to meet you. What school did you go to before coming here?

Rosamunde Troy walked up the steps that led to the school. She grabbed the glass door and pulled it open.
Here we go again... It wasn't that she was afraid or nervous. Those feelings hardly ever assaulted her in social places and situations. It was the fact that it was another year of school that distressed her. If there was one thing she didn't like, it was school. However, she knew that it was important, so she got through it, always with a smile on her face.
Rosamunde shoved her hands in her pocket as she walked down the hall. She was eager to see her friends again after being away from them all summer. However, she couldn't deny that she had a wonderful summer out of town with her grandmother and parents.

Logan nodded, slinging his book bag over his shoulder. “Yeah, you bet. Have you ever tried riding a skateboard before? Even a little?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emmy hesitated a moment, then answered. “Eagle Crest Middle.” She felt as though the words would make her nauseous; so many bad memories flooded to her as she said it. Her eyes fluttered downward, hoping Jen wouldn’t notice her inner turmoil. For a moment, she was upset anyone would ask her; but she knew Jen’s motives were kind. “My brother Logan and I lived in Ditto Monstropolis, up until a little less than a week ago, when we moved here with our Mom.”

Peter tried to think. Well, maybe in 5th grade? "I think I might have tried in fifth grade."

Jen smiled, "Your new here? That is so cool."

Kayla just walked upstairs and saw a girl who looked to be a sophomore. "Hey, Can you show me where Ms. Benson's room is?"

"Okay. Well, later we'll see if you picked up anything." Logan smiled.

Emmy nodded, though she clearly didn't think it was 'cool'. "Yeah, I'm new."

Peter answered, "Sounds good. Who do you have first period?"
~~~~~~~~~~
Jen asked, "How do you like Dittotown so far?"

"Uh, I think Ms. Benson." He shrugged. "How's she? Good, bad?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't know. I haven't seen much of it yet." Emmy wasn't trying to be cryptic; it was true, she hadn't really seen much. she'd spent most of her time so far at the house. But she wanted to give Jen a better answer, so she said, "Church was nice yesterday, I guess."

Maralyn laid in the hospital bed cradling little Sarah in her arms. Her little curled fingers, and thin dark hair, made the happy mother smile. She kissed her head, gently holding the little bundle of miracle. For every baby was a miracle, and the best gift she had ever received. Sarah cooed and Maralyn rocked her, watching her little dark blue eyes follow her own. Though her eyes wouldn't be blue forever, for they would slowly change to brown, like her and Justin's. But the blue was a lovely blue, and the sparkle in her eyes was a happy sparkle. She loved those eyes staring back at her. "She's gorgeous Justin..." Maralyn whispered to her husband who was standing hushed in the corner. Her own brown eyes flicked up for a mere second to meet his, and he could see they exhaustion from the day before buried in side. She turned back to her child, who held her pinky-finger in a strong grip.

Ian slid into the passenger side of a red mustang convertible, his body sinking comfortably into the black leather seats. The driver, black sun-glasses covering her eyes, sat next to him and put her hand on the stick in the center.
"Next time you get in a pinch like that tell me alright...I was wondering why you were gone for three months" she eyed him, a curious like playing across her face.
He shrugged "What's done is now...I'm out on good behavior. Forget it. Though I do have one person I'd like to see. If you'd be willing to drive me?" His dark eyes sparkled with mischief
"Any where you like..." she said and turned the key, starting the engine and cruising slowly done the street. "What's her name?"
" Milania you got the wrong impression. It happens to be a HE and he's my friend. He visited me in jail and I want to thank him. Justin thomas? Heard of him?" He asked
She thought about the name, running it through the cash of names she remembered. "No....or is he the man that was in the paper recently? The one with the FBI case that ended up being a fonny...then yes I've heard of him" Her gloved hands slid casually over the wheel "And I happen to know where he lives."
"Great! Take me there please...I'll only be a minute I promise" he winked
Susan shoved the key angrily into the lock of her home, shoving the door open as it gave way. The dark hall before her, was un-daunting and she closed the door behind her. Tossing her bag dreadfully hard into a over stuffed chair she fell to her knees before the fire place in the parlor. Her blue eyes reflecting the orange licking flames. "I hate you Justin...I hate you....and you to Peter....and everyone!" she screamed standing up and wrenching a shoe from her foot. She hurled it through the air at the picture of all there family together on the wall. The glass cracked and it fell to the carpeted floor. "AH!" she cried and picked it up opening the window and tossing it out, it landing on the cross beside her house. She then slammed her window and flew from the parlor running up to her room and falling onto her bed. "I hate the world....I hate it..." she said trying not to cry with anger. The ringing of the phone broke her raving and she looked at it. Picking it up she said into the phone "What!?"
"ummm....Ma'am...." said the timid nurse on the other end "I'm just calling to remind you of the doctor's appointment you have scheduled for tomorrow at ten 'oclock.
Susan breathed out, then forced herself to say politely "Thank you....now...leave me alone!" she then slammed down the receiver and collapsed back onto her bed

Abigal ate hungrily the plate of food Amanda had served her. The food was indeed very good and she thanked her friend heartily. "This is one of my favorites...and you make it so well" she said smiling, back at Amanda as he friend braided her hair

Brian tucked his school books under his arm and entered the school building glancing around for Peter. They normally met at their lockers to converse before going to class. Today, he wasn't there. Stashing his lunch and various other papers in his locker Brian shut and locked it before searching for Peter. He finally found him talking with another boy outside the office "Hey Pete!" he called and trotted up eying the other boy skeptically "Who's this?"

Peter turned, to see Brian and gave him a flyer for JV basketball tryouts. "This is Logan. He was at our church yesterday. He's new to town." Turning to Logan , he said, "This is my friend Brian. We hang out alot."

Justin gave Maralyn a smile, carressing the baby's soft, black hair. "Wonder what she will sound like when she starts talking?"

Jen said, "Well, I think we have first period together in creative writing. Maybe one of the sophmores could help," she said with a smirk.

Amanda smiled, "You're welcome. Want to watch a movie?
