{@} Chapter 1 {@}

Topanga woke up startled, "Wha-" she started but was interrupted by her dad explaining because he knew she wouldn't remember being on a plane.

"We just landed sweetie remember we moved to London again?"

Suddenly everything clicked back into place, "Oh yeah... how did i forgot that" Topanga laughed. She checked her phone and saw it was 11:55, "Was the landing delayed?" she asked.

"How on earth did you know that?" Her mother asked shocked.

"Well I woke up at 2 for a bit and we weren't technically on earth so i guess i didn't know that on earth." Topanga was always one for sassy comments to get a laugh. Her older brother Demitri hit her in the head

"She was only asking T." Demitri always had a different nickname for her, that was his thing. Nicknames, and seeing as how she had one of the weirdest names on the planet it was pretty hard to get a nickname.

"Careful! You'll mess my hair and my flower crown that's- wait a minute." Trying to hide a grin Topanga picked up her flower crown off the floor and put it on, "You'll mess my obviously perfect hair and flower crown that totally wasn't messy when i woke up..." Demitri just laughed.

An hour later Topanga was running ahead of her family with her dog Bear-Niall, her parents had the suitcases and Demitri was trying to talk to his girlfriend on the phone whilst also handing Tia. Tia however hated Demitri's girlfriend so she was trying very hard to get his attention. Of course, it worked and he hung up promising to call later.  The Smolder family climbed into the rented car and they drove to their new home in London. "God, I've missed Britain, the rain, the trees.... the rain...... the trees."

She giggled with Tia at her silly jokes.

"Now Topanga promise me one thing. The rings come off at school." Her mother laughed, her parents never got mad at her for her expulsions as they knew she was easily provoked and recognized it wasn't her fault, just her DNA's.

"Awww.. But i like the mood rings and the black opal one, can i at least wear those?" She practically begged.

"I didn't know there were two dogs in this car." Demitri muttered with a playful smirk.

"Oh ha ha ha. But please mum can i?" Her mother seemed to think for a moment but finally agreed to let her wear a maximum of five rings to school.

As the car slowed down the Smolder family excitedly looked out of the darkened windows to see the gates of their new home open, they weren't a rich family but Topanga's dad was a CEO of a very very large company, Starbucks. It didn't mean they were rich, the family had to move around a lot for his work and it didn't help with Topanga's expulsions.  The car continued to drive forward and the children stared at the house in awe. It was very large and very old. A large tower came out of the roof and with a high pitched scream that stopped the car Topanga yelled out "I CALL DIBS ON THE TOWER FOR MY ROOM!" 

"Damnit, i wanted the tower..." Demitri argued. Tia didn't mind she wanted to be close to her parents anyway.

"Well then, you should have dib's first" Topanga smiled triumphantly at her new room. Demitri just laughed and said in a cocky tone "You better hope that my room has an en suite or something or there will be hell to pay."

Topanaga suspecting this kind of cockiness replied in a smooth tone "Well then i guess its free because I'm the queen of hell." The entire family erupted in laughter and continued to chuckle as boxes were pulled out of the moving van and into the house.
