I woke up to the sun peaking through the window of my new bedroom. I sighed and wiped my eyes before remembering how last night was. Me and Mikey talked for hours until I just knew I had to go to bed. Ginny gave me the day off to spend with Steph since she was off too. The phone on my bedside table rang and I leaned over and picked it up.

"Hello?" my voice was groggy and as soon as I heard it I cleared my throat.

"Hey it's Steph. I'm on my way to pick you up for breakfast so get ready fast" she said and hung up before I could even reply. I sighed and stood up changing into some jeans and a nice blouse. I brushed through my wavy hair and I left it down in brown waves before I didn't my make up quickly. I grabbed my purse before walking downstairs just as Steph pulled up.

"I'll be back later Ginn" I waved as she stood next to two other girls who also worked there the hours me and Steph didn't. She waved back as I stepped and slipped into Steph's car still half asleep.

"Geez and I would've pictured you a morning person" she laughed as she quickly pulled out.

"Where are we eating?" I asked checking my makeup in the mirror seeing as I did it half asleep.

"Usually the Friday mornings I have off we eat at Brand and Mikey's Mom's house. Brand moved out but Mikey still lives there just for while he's in college" she said and I nodded. We drove up a hill and finally stopped in front of a small white house. Steph immediately stepped out and I followed suit as we pushed open the gate to the fence and walked up inside.

"Sorry we're late" Steph called as she stepped through the screen door.

"It's fine. Mikey still hasn't woke up yet" a woman's voice called from the kitchen. I looked over to see a tall woman with the same blonde hair and green eyes as Mikey's. She smiled sweetly at me as soon as she noticed me.

"Who's this?" she asked Steph and Steph looked at me.

"Oh sorry this is Estella. She's staying with Ginny for a bit" Steph introduced me tugging me towards the kitchen.

"Well hi darling it's so nice to meet you. Please sit the others are just in the attic helping Irving get some more things to bring to the museum" she explained as me and Steph sat at the small table that obviously had extra chairs added to it. Brand and Mouth came running down with a bucket filling it up with water.

"Boys if you spill that in my house your in big trouble" Mrs. Walsh scolded as they turned off the sink.

"We won't Ma" Brand said as they both lugged it out of the sink and back upstairs. We heard their footsteps over the ceiling and then a loud call out that was obviously from Mikey.

"Are you kidding me! You guys!" his voice was clear trough the whole house as footsteps filled the house. The two boys came running down the stairs with Mikey in just his boxers clear behind him. He was soaked to death and even though Mrs. Walsh said not to spill the water she still chuckled at the sight. The two boys guilty of their actions ran out the house but Mikey stopped as soon as he saw me sitting at the kitchen table. I giggled to myself as red flooded his cheeks. He ran a hand through his floppy wet hair and smiled lightly.

"I'll be back" he said before running upstairs. Finally Andy, Chunk, and Data came downstairs with an older man who must've been the Irving Mrs. Walsh was talking about. They joined us at the table as Irving set a big picture frame down on the coffee table of the living room.
