Nichi's POV

"Morning Nichi." Dean says putting apple juice on the table by the be's along with some scrambled eggs and some ham. I rub my eyes and sit up slowly.
"What time is it?" I ask reaching for my phone. Jess walks over to the curtains and pulls them apart.
"AHHH." I scream and flop back in the bed then roll over hopping to block the light but end up falling off the bed.
"I'm so sorry Nichi!" Jess says laughing and running over. I lay on the ground and pull a pillow dow, put it behind my head, grab the plate of food, and start eating it right there. I get weird looks from people but I shrug.
"What I'm hungry leave me alone." I say stuffing my face with ham. There's a knock on the door and Dean goes to open it. He looks through the peep hole and chuckles.
"Who is it?" I say with a mouth full of food. He opens the door and in walks Randy out of breath.
"Yes?" I say eating my food. He plops down next to me and catches his breath before taking some ham. I slap his hand and he stuffs it in his mouth.
"I know how Alanna will like you. Come on!" He says taking the plate, putting it aside, and pulling me up and out the door with him.
"Where are we going?" I say jumping on his back. He runs down the stairs and to his hotel room.
"Randy..." He shushes me and opens his door. Alanna is asleep in the bed. We go and sit in the chairs.
"I'll be right back in going to the bathroom." He kisses me and then shippers in my ear.
"Go sit on the bed next to her and play with her hair." He says before getter before getter my up. I give him my "evil eye" and he smirks before going into the bathroom. I get up and go sit on the bed next to her. I play with her hair and start singing.
"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream" I say finishing it off by kissing her head. I get up and I feel something take my hand. I turn my head and see Alanna holding it while she's sleeping. I smile and lay down next to her. She snuggles up to me and I put my chin in her head. I play with her hair and slowly fall asleep.
"You ok Lanna?" I hear Randy ask.
"Yes why?" She says back.
"Because Nichi is with you..."
"She sang to me. She's nice." She said hugging me. I smile and hug her.
"Thanks kiddo." I say yawning. She giggles and hugs me.
"I told you she's nice Lanna." Randy says going to the other side of the bed.
"Nichi wake up! Nichi!" I bolt up and look around. I'm in my room? Dean and Randy are standing in front of me.
"It was a dream..." I say under my breath. I fall back and they laugh. Dean walks over to the curtains and opens them revealing a bright sun in my face. I fall off the bed to hide my eyes.
"You ok Nich?" Randy asks helping me up. I look around and sigh. Randy gives me a weird look and I shrug it off.
"Nothing... I just had a weird dream." I say grabbing my clothes and going into the bathroom. I change into some skinny ripped washed jeans and a big hoodie. I walk out and we head down to go get coffee. We get to the lobby and make myself some coffee with 2 creams and 4 sugars.
"So how's Lanna?" I ask sitting down with Randy. He sits across from me and takes a sip.
"She's doing pretty good just umm... She loves Nikki..." He says the last part fast and softly. I take a sip of my coffee and give him a weird look.
"What?" I say laughing a little. He clears his throat and sighs.
"Nikki got Alanna to like her." He says rubbing his head.
"Oh..." I say with my smile slowly fading.
"It's not a big deal Nich. We can try to get her to talk to you today." He says holding my hand. I nod and we continue to drink our coffee until we left for the gym.
"So who is she with?" I ask.
"John." He says. I nod and once we got to the gym it was all work.

John's POV

"What do you wanna do Alanna?" I ask. She shrugs and continues playing with her dolls.
"I'll be right back ok." I say as I go into the hall. I call Randy and after 2 rings he answers.
"Yeah John?" Randy says breathing heavy.
"Hey man. Listen what do you want me to do with Alanna?"
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"Well she isn't really talking. All she is doing is playing with her dolls. I want her to have fun and not feel like she can't ask to do something." I explain. I hear him sigh.
"Ask her if she wants to go and play outside or go swimming." He says.
"I would love to talk but I have to get back to working out. Tell her I'll be back in two hours." He says.
"Will do." I say before he hangs up. I walk back in and see her still playing with her dolls.
"Hey Lanna do you want to go swimming?" I ask. She gives me a weird look.
"What's that?" She replies. My jaw drops.
"Umm never mind. Let's watch a movie ok?" I say putting in The Little Mermaid which was in her stuff she brought from the orphange.
"I love Ariel! I wish I was a mermaid!" Alanna says. I smile and she gets so engrossed into the movie I'm able to meet Randy outside.
"How was she?" He asks.
"She was great. She's watching the little mermaid now." I say. He nods and walks past me to the room. I turn and look back to see Nichi grabbing her gym bag.
"You ok?" I ask. She smiles slightly and nods.
"Yeah." She says and walks in.

Dean's POV

Me and Jess are walking down the hall when we see Nichi.
"Hey sis!" I shout she smiles and waves.
"We are gonna go out to eat. We are swinging by Randy's first if you want to join us." I say.
"Umm I'm ok thank you though." She says moving quickly past us.
"Oh Nichi come on quit being a brat!" Jess says jokingly.
"Ok seriously Jess I think you should shut the hell up considering you wine about every single thing! If anything you're the brat! Actually no you're a bitch!" Nichi yells. My jaw drops and before I can say anything Jess storms off and to Randy's room while Nichi goes to my room. I rub my face and make my way to Randy's room. When I get there Alanna is by Jess and making Jess laugh. They hug and my jaw drops along with Randy's.
"If Nichi finds out it'll make her so upset." I explain to Randy.
"Yeah I know... God why is it so hard for Alanna to like Nichi?" He asks quietly so only I can hear. I shrug and cross my arms.
"I don't know man. I wish I knew."
