Bella Leticia Zambada-García jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped. She was halfway across the street when her mom grabbed ahold of her, dragging her back to the car as the now ten-year old kicked and punched. Her mom slapped her upside the head, uttering some heinous words in Spanish. "Not until we take down all the boxes"

The girl sighed, picking up some boxes and running up the steps excitedly. Upon reaching the last step she tripped and fell, landing and sliding across her knees. She winced in pain, turning over to find her knees all scratched and bloody. Her mother sighed from the car. "Solo ve entonces! Lo haré yo mismo"
Translation: [Just go then! I'll do it my damn self]

Bella got up immediately, grinning at her mom and running over to V's house. She knocked and Kev opened the door. He gasped in excitement and was about to hug her before he noticed her bloodied knees. "What the hell happened?" He asks, opening the door for her and she walks in.

"Fell moving boxes" The young girl shrugs and grins as she sees Veronica walking down the staircase.

"My Bella!" V gasps but has the same reaction as her husband upon seeing her injury. "The hell happened to you?" She asks and Bella already knows to get out a chair. V goes into the medicine cabinet, getting some hydrogen peroxide and cotton. Next she grabs a couple of bandaids and kneels down.

"I fell walking up the stairs" Bella swings her feet and V grabs her leg, stopping the movements. The woman begins cleaning the wound, watching it bubble up and then moves to the other.

"How'd you do that?" Veronica laughs.

"I was carrying boxes and I wanted to hurry up so I can see Carl" Bella explains and Kevin 'ooohs'.

"Bella wants to see her boyfriend" He mocks in a high pitched voice. The ten-year-old blushes and he repeats his words, dancing around and singing it in a circle as she laughs.

"You're all good" Veronica stands up, kissing Bella on the head and patting her cheek affectionately. "Now go get your mans" She winks and Bella jumps down. She skips out of the house and walks two down-passing the house where that old man had died. When she walks up the steps and into the Gallagher house Debbie is the first one to see her. She runs up to her friend, hugging her and jumping excitedly.

"I missed you" She gasps and Bella squeezes her harder.

"I missed you more!"

Lip is next, lifting the young girl up in the air and then pretending to almost drop her. A squeal escapes Bella's Lip and Ian takes her from Lips hands, body slamming her on the couch softly. She laughs, hitting Ian on the arm before hopping up. Carl walks down the stairs with his toothbrush in his mouth and runs towards his girlfriend. He knocks her down and she groans in pain.

"Carlll!" She whines, bending her knees as she sits up. "I just fell" He rubs the bandaids softly and brushes his teeth with one hand.

"I...missed...you" His words are almost unintelligible due to the toothpaste in his mouth. She notices some blue in her hair and discovers that it's all thanks to Carl's toothpaste.

"You got toothpaste in my hair!" She punches his shoulder. He punches her back, landing it in the side. The girl slaps the back of his head and his next punch hits the side of her jaw. They begin fighting-all while Carl still has a toothbrush in his mouth and the siblings watch.

"Well, looks like nothing has changed" Lip sighs, walking out of the house and Ian laughs.
