"SAMMY! You're gonna be late if you don't get moving!" Judy Witwicky's voice echoed up the stairs causing Sam to move a bit faster.

"I'm coming!" Moving around she stuffed what she needed in her backpack, cursing the fact that her alarm chose not to work that morning. Hopping around as she tried to put her shoes on and barely missed stepping on Mojo as the small Chihuahua sat watching her. Huffing in annoyance she grabbed her bag and stumbled into the hall and down the stairs. In the kitchen she found her parents in their usual routine with her mother cooking breakfast while watching the small TV and her father reading the paper.

"This is just awful." Judy commented as she continued to watch the news. "Did you hear this Ron? Those poor soldiers."

Sam paused to listen catching the last few words from Defense Secretary Keller. "We are dealing with a highly effective weapons system, one we have not come across before. But our thoughts and prayers are with those men who..."

"Judy, you shouldn't watch stuff like that you know how it upsets you." Ron interrupted the broadcast breaking Sam's attention.

"Of course it upsets me! This is important! What if we have another terrorist attack coming? What will you do then huh mister?"

Deciding to cut in before her parents could get into another one of their infamous 'arguments' she turned to her father. "So dad, can we go car shopping today?"

Ron turned to his daughter eyebrow cocked. "That confident are we?"

"I have $2000 and two A's, and I know I'll get an A on the genealogy project. I worked very hard on it and I turned it in early." Sam argued. "Besides I'm a Witwicky, of course I'll get an A."

Ron chuckled pleased with that statement. "I see, alright I'll pick you up after school and we can check some places out."

"Thanks dad."

"Honey, are you sure you want to wear to school?" Turning to her mother Sam frowned. Looking down at her shirt and jeans and pouted.

"What's wrong with how I look?"

"It's just so frumpy. You're a cute girl; you should wear things to show off your hot body." Judy wiggled a bit in emphasis. "You're only young once Sammy, flaunt it while you got it!"

"Hey, hey, hey! There will be no flaunting!" Ron stated resolutely. "She's fine the way she is!"

"Oh Ron you're such a party pooper! How's our baby supposed to catch a guy if she doesn't show what she's got?"

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening." Ron covered his ears trying to block such images out.

"Yeah...on that note, I'm going to school." Chuckling Sam grabbed her lunch and kissed both of her parents goodbye before making a break for it.

Thankfully the school was only a twenty-minute walk from her house so she managed to get there before the first bell. On the way to her locker she heard a voice calling out to her causing her to pause. Turning around she found her friend Mikaela Banes making her way over.
