Later that day Amelia was in Bella's room talking with her adoptive mother "Hey babies! So listen, if Phil's training goes well, we could be moving to Florida." Renee said just seconds before a mechanical voice says "Please insert a dollar twenty five for an additional three minutes." Amelia falls back on Bella's bed laughing holding her pen, "Mom, where's your cel?" the two brunettes asked simultaneously. "Okay, don't laugh. I didn't lose my power cord, it ran away screaming. I literally repel technology now." Renee said and once again a bubbly laugh escaped Amelia's red lips, tears clouded her eyes from laughing so much making Bella smack her leg while she was trying not to laugh too.

"We miss you." Amelia said beating Bella to it, "Oh, Baby! I miss you too. But tell me more about your school. What are the kids like? Are there any cute guys? Are they being nice to you?" Renee asked with a slightly teenage gossip tone, "Well... They're all very welcoming." Bella said biting her lower lip causing her sister to snort unlady like, knowing all about the ordeal with Edward Cullen, she had vowed to threaten him that if he hurt her sister she would cut his ball and feed it to the mountain lions.

"Uh-oh. Tell me all about it." Renee said worriedly, "It doesn't even matter." Bella said sighing causing Amelia to roll her eyes and finish her homework. "Yes it does, honey!" Renee insisted, "I have homework to do." Bella said trying to escape being interrogated, "I'll talk to you later." she and Amelia added, tho Amelia was going to call Phil's cell to talk with her mother, "Okay, I love you." Renee said and the girls replied "Love you too."

Bella ended the call and smiled at her sister "You do your homework, I'm going to talk with mom through Phil's phone." Amelia said kissing Bella's head and got up grabbing her books and leaving the room, closing the door behind her. Walking inside her bedroom, Amelia instantly prepared her bag for the next day and looked into the mirror seeing her reflection her brown curly hair was in a messy bun and she frown, she looked the same as she did when she was a kid, when she was with them, sighing she walked to her bed and grabbed her phone, flipped it open and dialed Phil's phone number.

"Hello?" Phil's voice came through the other side of the call, "Phil it's Amelia, can I talk to mom?" she said playing with the hem of her shirt, "Sure thing kiddo." he said and after a moment of silence Renee's voice was heard "Amy is everything alright?" She asked worriedly, "Yeah, I miss you mom." Amelia said, making Renee laugh slightly and say "I miss you too, so how has school been?" Amelia smiles and says "Great actually, unfortunately Bella and I don't have any classes together." "I know that sucks sweetie but you're older and a year ahead of her." Renee says, "Any boys?" she adds teasingly.

"No, not really..." the brunette said, her mind going back to the castle like place she had lived in for 12 years, especially the boy who had ignored her since she was two, "But there is someone on your mind, is it someone from Italy?" Renee asked knowing that her adoptive eldest daughter was always always complaining from a certain brown haired boy back from home, "Mom he didn't like me plus we don't see each other so I can smack the annoying smirk he carried around all the damn time out of his face." Amelia said and pulled her hair tie from her hair as she leans against the pillows, "How do you know he didn't like you and was really shy because he didn't want to be judged for liking you." Renee contradicted making Amelia frown and sit up.

"I don't know mom but anyways I was wondering if I could paint my hair red, like completely, I feel like I need a change." Amelia said running her slender fingers through her tangled curls while she bit her lip hopefully, "If you really want to and Charlie doesn't mind I don't see why not." Renee said though the brunette could hear the smirk, "Mom please don't say it's because I have an obsession with the colour red, I just feel like I need to change." Amelia pleaded making her mother laugh. "Honey I wasn't going to say anything anyways I have to go, Phil's taking me out for dinner." Renee said making Amelia smirk and say smugly "Use protection." laughs were heard both Renee and Phil's "We'll see about that kiddo." Phil says before the line goes dead.

Shaking her head, the brunette tip toes to Bella's room and peeks her head in "Come in you dufus." Bella laughs at the faces her sister is making, "What's up?" Bella asked her sister as she finished her homework, "I talked to mom and she allowed me to dye my hair red." Amelia says flipping her brown hair over her shoulder. "You'd be a gorgeous redhead, a hot one too." Bella said teasing her sister pushing her slightly, beaming Amelia said "Now all I need is Charlie's permission." 

As soon a those words were uttered the police cruiser parked outside and both girls smirked and walked downstairs, "Hey girls, is there anything you need?" Charlie asked, "Actually yes, I talked to mom and she said I could dye my hair red if you allowed it too." Amelia said smile, "Oh sure does that mean you're skipping tomorrow to do it?" Charlie asked and Amelia shrugged. "Do you need a ride to the hair dressed? There's one near the station." Charlie offered and Amelia smiled "That would be wonderful."
