|-/ ---- |-/

They finally arrived. The teen studied her new surroundings intently as they passed by her in a sudden blur. It was a very quiet, very- high maintenance neighborhood. No signs of a loiterer on sight. Houses where clean, grass was neatly cut, not like the uncut crass she's seen. Stalking and tall enough so a marsupial could hide within it. She doesn't like tall grass.

Four subtle bumps signaled her to know that she had arrived.

Tyler sighed with a smile. He propped his elbow on the arm rest and turned his vision to lock eyes with surprisingly gray ones. Weren't they just blue? Or green at that?

He shook it off and began his short response. "Well, here's your new home!" He smiled. Immediately spreading the emotion to Elizabeth as she smiled as well, the marble white glow of her teeth nearly blinding as the pupils of her eyes swelled in a golden yellow.

Tyler's smile faltered at the new coloration of her eyes. "Hey, let's get out of the car..." Tyler trailed off. He was going to test his theory, whether it be off totally or not.

She grabbed her few belongings and followed the couple out of the car. The sun welcomed itself against her skin and she flinched at the sudden vitamins merging their way into her eyes.

Tyler couldn't believe his eyes. Well, her eyes to be more specific.
Jenna detached her hand from Tyler's and approached the girl.

She clasped her hand against her shoulder and stared intently into her eyes. "We won't tell... But we have to do something about that... Okay?" She stated sweetly. But she was oblivious to the major settlement that rested in Elizabeth's stomach.

She let go of the carbon dioxide building up within her lungs with a smile. "Thank you..." She said looking at Jenna. "Both of you" she gave glances to the couple.

A loud crash erupted within the house behind Tyler, or in front of the two females, if we're speaking from their positions.

Jenna arched an eyebrow and Tyler sighed, mumbling incoherent words to nobody in particular. They all walked towards the door in unplanned unison.

Floods of ideas erupted Elizabeth's mind as she thought of what the unnerving shatter would be.

Tyler selected the correct key from the ring and enforced it into the molded lock for the door. With one simple twist and a satisfying click, the door opened and they each walked in. The smell of creamed vanilla and sweet odors of oven baked goods slapped themselves against the teens face.

The house was even more breathtaking within the interior, than exterior. As if that seemed possible.

All of the noises stopped, but still lingered the air. Elizabeth, not knowing the location, or routes of the place, she tagged alongside Jenna as the woman pressed a reassuring hand on the small of her back as she carried all of her luggage.

"I wonder who that could be..." Tyler teased and walked around the corner. His face was priceless as he gasped and trusted his hands in front of him to present who is corresponding to the train of people. She walked around the corner as well as Jenna, curiosity flossing in her veins.

The outlines of 4 males, all with multiple shades of hair sighted out first in her vision.

"Jishwa!" Tyler exclaimed. The man, Elizabeth labeled as 'Jishwa' walked up to her lawful father and demonstrated a very coordinated handshake.

The man turned to her with a smile. A tuft of his hair rested on his face. He took no more time out of the day and wrapped his arms around the her. "Salutations," he chuckled breathlessly into her ear.

They pulled apart as she rose an eyebrow to the new word. "it means hello!" He chuckled again. She mimicked a 'O' shape of her mouth and took a mental to be more open minded. "I'm Joshua by the way... But you can call me Josh. Josh sounds cooler."

She smiled and nodded "I'm Elizabeth. But you can call me Lizzy, Li Li, Bee, Beth, Eliza, Liza-" she stopped herself as Josh had an indescribable expression plastered among his face. "Er, whatever you prefer, I'm welcome to." She summed up. Joshua smiled.

Tyler and Jenna simply watched a miracle bloom as Joshua guided her over to what she was guessing is the living room.

Elizabeth gave unsure glances. Tyler just waved it off with a smile while Jenna grinned with a thumbs up in both of her hands.

A large gasp echoed through the air. Where it may have come from? She didn't know. But the next thing she knew, was that she was being lifted off the floor in a large bear-like hug. Her elbows jamming into her sides as his vocal cords echoed through his trachea, her ear pressed against his chest as he screamed. "Ethan! Look! New friend!"

A pair of feet rushed through the floor and at the corner of her eye she saw large curls of dark brown, almost black hair. With a single streak of teal blue. She was released before landing into another pair of dramatically strong arms. His narrowed nose grazed across the scalp of her hair before the husk voice stated; "What kind of shampoo do you use?"

She giggled at the randomized question and the boy behind him groaned as the similar boy in front of her laughed.

"Where's the money Grayson?" 

She arched an eyebrow and stepped back to admire the two boys. Their similarity was complex so she noted them as identical twins, though their persona's gave away their identities.

The twin with the slick back quiff slapped a crisp five dollar bill into the opposites hand. He huffed with a roll of his eyes. "Ethan and I made a bet to see which one could make you giggle and or laugh first. And he won." Grayson forced out the last sentence quickly.

A man with black hair and pre-shaved beard emerged from the hallway and he smiled at her. "Looks like you've already met my sons, that you'll be referring to as your cousins." He informed with a hug "I am Tyler's biological brother, but your new Uncle, Zack." She smiled at the family before her.

A deep, obviously not real cough, erupted behind her as Josh stood there with a pout look on his face as he crossed his arms. "Wow," he said with distaste lacing his voice "I thought we where friends Zack?" Josh briefly walked over to her and wrapped her arm around her shoulder "I'm Tyler's Best Friend" he narrowed his eyes.

Zack played along and too, narrowed his eyes, grinding his jaw to fake intimidation. "Good one  Dun."

She giggled as both of them had a mental duel-to-the-death.

She felt another arm wrap around her and she turned to her right to see Tyler with a smile on his face, Jenna resting her chin on the tip of her head, pressing soft kisses to the roots of her hair occasionally.

Though it was just the first day, even first hour in the house, she grew to label it as the place she's going to prepare herself for the next stages in life. For all of her life.
