At some point, I reluctantly detached myself from Diego and kicked out of the room so I could get ready for the day. When I finally made my way to the closet, I pull on a Pierce the Veil pullover, black fishnets, a red and black plaid pleaded skirt, and my old combat boots.

Yes, I realize that I dress like a 2009 emo kid but I know damn well this isn't a faze. My parents taught me to embrace who I am...and if that means dressing like a scene queen than so be it. Besides... My style does change from time to time but I'll always be a wanna be Emo rocker chick at heart.

Making my way down stairs, I see my dad making breakfast.
*cough* Daniel. Because we all know Joey is sometimes just so damn lazy*cough*

"Morning, Rachael," he states while looking over his shoulder.

I walked over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Where's the queen?"

"He's in the backyard with Wolf and Storm admiring their latest creation."

"Another hole?"

"Right underneath the roses! I mean can you believe the nerve of that dog!"

"You love him though. Besides you can use your gardening skills to fix it can't you?" I reply while taking a seat at the bar.

"You bet your father's ass I can."

"Eww! TMI! I didn't want to hear that! " I yell while plugging my ears with my fingers. Daniel never really had a filter around me when it came to talking about Joey. He figured it didn't matter just as long as no one else was around.

Slowly turning towards me, Daniel place down the spatula he was carrying on the counter. "Did you enjoy your little surprise this morning?" Daniel asks bringing me out of my thoughts. His question startled me and I was hesitant to answer.

"...You knew he was coming?! Why didn't you tell me?! I should have known you and dad were behind this."

"Actually, it was just me. You know how protective your dad is, especially when it coming to you dating."

"Still!!!"
Swinging myself around the counter I look out the window and see Joey yelling angrily at the MAGICAL hole in the ground.

"Rachael? Rachael, where did you go?"

"Go child, your Prince Charming summons you." He says while nudging my back. Laughing quietly, I head towards the stairs in search of my 'prince'.
