"Well, chica, the reason you're room was cleared and Midnight has been secretive is that...you're now an adopted Garcia!" Rozella grinned widely and threw her arms around her.

Piper didnt return the hug instantly but took a few seconds to process what Rozella had just said... then hugged her back and laughed, "So wait? Someone adopeted me?! YES!!! who is it?!" Piper looked around expecting a couple to jump out any second now...

She can't be serious..."It's me, chica." She smiled at her and released the hug for Piper to have time to take it all in. Midnight and the boys wandered through the Hallway to get to the kitchen for alcoholic drinks and sugary snacks. Midnight made the boys hide behind one of the pillars in the hall to avoid Piper seeing them. She wanted to see how it was going.

Piper looked at Rozella... so this was her... mum now? or adopted mum... she burst out crying, "Thank you sooo much!! I dont know what to do" she said and hesitantly hugged Rozella.

"YAAAAAAAAAY! This moment calls for Tequila!" Midnight grinned and squeeled. Rozella grinned widely and hugged Piper to the point at any moment her oxygen supply would run out. Ty began to wander over hesitantly to Piper, not sure if a Boy Hug was needed.
Midnight hugged Jake in celebration of having a new cousin, he chuckled and pulled her into his chest and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He smelled so nice and he was so warm. Midnight enjoyed this moment for as long as she could before the Maid turned the corner and grinned, "Your mother is coming."

Piper saw Ty come over hesitantly and smiled at him and hugged him like never before, somehow their lips met and it seemed it was just the two of them alone... until Midnight's mom entered.
"Hi! Did all of you have anything to do with this?!"

"Chica...me really? Of course I did! Midnight is not innocent either." Midnight's mother grinned and dragged Midnight out from behind the pillar, she dragged Jake with her. She smiled and played innocent as her mother pulled her towards Rozella and Piper...who had liplocked Ty...majorly...Bitch bet me to it,she thought looking at Jake.

Piper smiled at Midnight and hugged her, "Thank you so much!!"
"Where's your house?" She asked Rozella, she really hoped it was close enough to continue at the same school.

"At the other side of town, Countess Cresent, very pretty, not unlike the house we stand in actually, chica." Rozella smiled as she watched Midnight receive a massive hug. Midnight began to turn slightly blue...

Piper let go of Midnight, "Wait... other side of town? Does that mean i have to change school or can i continue at this school?!" Piper being paranoid and panicky as she is, she instantly started worrying about having to move school and go through the whole being-laughed-at-process and then the whole grouping-with-the-school-freaks process until some people realized she was ok which had never happened up till now.

"Now, now, chica. We will have Guy drive you every day in the Bently. It will give him something to do when I'm not going to the airport or shopping. You don't have to switch schools." Rozella smiled as she took her younger sisters hand and Midnight watched the subtle sisterly moment between them from beside Jake.

"Ty pinch me now." she held out her arm to him, "yauwch... ok this isnt a dream... A bentley?!?! my...my... own chauffeur?! really?!?!" Piper was utterly bewildered, "OMG you're the best!! " She hugged Rozella soo tight the poor woman nearly fainted.

Rozella and Midnight's mother were in the lounge room with her father and Uncle Miraz. Midnight and Jake were out in the little cave under the waterfall of the swim pool. A bottle of Tequila on the ledge behind the two of them and a few snack packs of oreo's and a bowl of Ben and Jerrie's Ice Cream. Ty and Piper were off at the other end of the pool or something.

"You're gonna be a long way away from me now..." Ty said quitly to Piper, who sat snuggled up to him head on his shoulder.
"I'll send Guy to pick you up and you can come over... or Guy will drive me to yours or wherever." she looked at him and smiled, "I won't stop seeing you."
"I won't let you go" he said and kissed her softly on the lips then threw her in the pool and went after, she laughed and splashed about like a helpless kid waiting for someone to save them

"Such children," Jake shook his head.
Midnight smiled evilly, "Yeah, children," before she finished she splashed up some water into Jake's face and then retreated to the other side of the cave in order to stay dry from the neck up, taking her Tequila as she went. Jake followed her and jumped, sending a tsunami over her head. She was soaking, completely, from head to foot. She pouted at him, "Midnight y no es un conejo feliz ahora. Grr."
"I apologize, unhappy bunny. What would make me be redeemed?" Jake grinned at her hair, dripping with Jucuzzi water.
I wish I could tell you...

Piper and Ty fooled around some more in the pool before retreating to the lounge chairs with some Sprite for Piper and Ginger beer for Ty.
She dried herself and collapsed on the chair with a magazine occasionally sipping on the very cold and bubbly can of Sprite.

*Lol, you really love Sprite. XD *

"So, what can I do to redeem myself?" Jake had gone from grinning to smiling sexily, his head leaning to the left a little and the corners of his mouth twitched up slightly, his eyelids lowered a little. Midnight considered her options. Allow him to make a move, make a move herself, back up against the back of the Jucuzzi or dunk his head under water to get back at him...which would she profit from?...

*i sure do, did u see my fb status? Sprite my new oxygen XD i shulda put liquid oxygen but didnt think of it at the time XD hehe*

She couldn't help but glance a few times at Midnight and Jake, those two are perfect for each other. She smiled to herself and gulped down some Sprite, she loved the buzzed feeling she got after drinking it. It made her feel alive and ready to combat anything. Ty was spread on the lounge chair next to her, 'tanning' he called it... but all Piper could see was one very very very red chest and a very very red face. She giggled at the sight of him, she should probably wake him up and tell him...

Midnight's cheeks began to redden as Jake gradually closed the space between the two of them and what little space there was. His face lowered down a fraction and he brought his lips, the lips Midnight had longed for for so long, closer to hers.
That was when his elbow, which had been leaning on the little ledge for the duration of the 'move', came into contact with Midnigth glass of Tequila. It spilt over Midnight's hair.

Piper gasped, she saw the whole scene happen in slow motion... the tequila on Midnight's hair.. poor Jake. She tried her outmost hardest not to laugh but couldnt help and giggle a little.
She went over to Ty and shook him, "Come on boy, your burnt." She said sweetly giving him on of her much practised sexy smiles.
He blinked twice and rubbed his arms, he swore when it hurt, " ah shit... why?! ugh no way this is sooo soooore!!" he moaned and looked at Piper with little boy eyes.
"D'aaaww you cutie" she winked at him and settled back in her lounge chair.

Jake's face dropped and his eyes widened. "Midnight I am soo sorry!"
Midnight swiped at the liquid and then shook her head. Holding her nose she sank beneath the water and watched the tequila 'swim' away from her hair. It didn't matter that the chlorine filled water got a little drunk.

Piper watched as Midnight washed away the drink in her hair and at how sorry Jake looked...

Meanwhile poor Ty was spreading aftersunburn cream on himself, "Euh... ehmm uhmmm piiiiiipeeeerrr...." he moaned beggingly.
"What bunrtbunny?" she asked smiling at him, he pulled a face and asked, "Pleeease can you some on my back... i can't reach..."

"Well, that crumpled a perfectly good moment." Midnight spluttered emerging from the water completely soaked.
"I am so sorry!" Jake panicked and pulled the wet hair curtain from her face.

Piper smiled, "You sure? my hands are cold." she took the suncream tube and squirted some on his back spreading it out, she ignored his boyish yelp when her hands touched his sunburn. "There now get a t-shirt on before you go black."
"Huh? you not liking the view? OMG am i too fat? or do you not like six packs... " Ty grinned and slipped his shirt on, "there better?"
"I dont like burnt six packs." Piper turned round and walked off to Midnight, "Hey girliieeee , it's 2pm i thought me you and adelaide,,, wherever she is,,, could go downtown to do some shopping"

Lolage, Adelaide is in Bandacious, which you keep forgetting to update.*

"Shopping? You, want to go shopping?" Midnight spluttered through the water streaming from her soaking wet hair.
"This is the real Piper, right?" Jake asked rhetorically.
