~Emma's POV~

After school, Jake and I were cuddling in his room, Hugh was with Fiona, Millard was gone. It was just us. Finally. After school we hadn't a moment's rest. Olive needed help with her math homework, Jake had to go to that damned smart aide store, and Hugh wouldn't keep bugging us. But now it was finally us. Alone. Without any distractions. Finally.

"I love you" I whispered to Jake.

"I love you, too" he whispered back. Suddenly his Damn smartphone rang. 

He answered then got up. 

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Smart Aid. They need me." He said. Oh that goddamn smart aide!!!!! To be honest I think Rite Aid is better. 

Jake noticed the disappointment in my face and said 

"Wanna come?" I glared at him and he sighed. 

"I'm sorry Em, I can't get out of this. They're having a bit of an emergency, and oh two people are there. Max, doesn't come in till seven and Shelley has the day off. Maybe if you came it would speed things up?" He looked at me with big puppy dog eyes and a puckered lip. I only glared. 

"Please Emma!!!! You could help and the sooner we get done the sooner we can come back home and cuddle!" He begged. I sighed.

"Fine, but you're not off the hook. Yet." He smiled and ran to get his uniform on. He's such an adorable goof.

I ran downstairs to see Enoch and Horace fighting, Bronwyn trying to focus on homework, and Claire and Olive playing.

"Enoch it's mine!"Horace screamed.

"Why do you need black nail polish?" Enoch argued.

"For a project." He replied. I sighed and decided to stop the fight.

I walked over to them, grabbed the tips of their ears, and pinched them until they were crying.

"Please, Emma, stop! We'll be good, we won't Fight I promise!" Horace begged.

"Yeah, Emma, we won't fight!" Enoch said.

"Promise?" I said.

"YES!" They both screamed I let go. They immediately rubbed their overheated ears and ran away. I smiled.

"Thank you" Bronwyn said. She was working on homework, and was most likely annoyed by their fighting.

"They wouldn't stop fighting." She said.

"It's better than the 70s" I said. Bronwyn laughed.

The 70s were.... hectic. Horace and Enoch would not stop fighting, Hugh and Fiona began a more, well, intimate relationship, and Miss P was away for most of the early years. None of us knew why, she was just gone some days, sometimes weeks, once even a month. She said she was helping new ymbrynes build loops, but we never truly believed her. Hell, she's even gone now (only for about a month to help ymbrynes reestablish loops).

"Ready Emma?" Jake came downstairs, shrugging his jacket on. 

"I guess" I said.

"Where are you two going?" Bronwyn asked.

"Smart Aid." I sighed. Horace's head then popped in.

"Ooh can I come? I need black nail polish." He said while glaring at Enoch who just entered the room.

"I need some stuff too, can I come?" He said.

"I actually need some more notecards" Bronwyn said. 

"I need another journal" Millard said from nowhere. Jake jumped. He still hasn't gotten used to Millard being nude 24/7. Unfortunately, we all have.

"If you put on clothes." Jake said. Millard pouted and left to get his clothes/makeup done.

"So can we come?" Bronwyn asked. Jacob looked at me an I shrugged.

"I guess" he said. All three high fived and ran to the car. 

I chuckled a bit and Jake called Hugh and Fiona down. 

"What?" Hugh asked, clearly annoyed.

"We're all going to Smart Aid and someone needs to watch Claire and Olive." He said.

At the mention of their names, Claire and Olive run over to Hugh and Fiona and start begging for a tea party. Hugh glares at Jake. They run off to their tea set with a grumbling Hugh in their footsteps. I laugh at the scene that has happened too many times.

"I'm ready!" A fully clothed Millard says, running down the steps. We leave the house and get in the car.

~~~Millard POV~~~

Bronwyn and I ran to the supplies section, not wanting to spend any time in the actual store. The main reason we came was the best item of the 21st century other than wikipedia. Snack items. 

Honestly, the only reason Enoch, Bronwyn, and I step foot in smart aid is because of the broken snack machine in the employee break room. It dispenses wonderful items, such as Butterfingers, Hershey bars, Doritos, and M&Ms. Also the soda machine dispenses the most lovely of drinks, Cocoa Colas, Dr. Peppers,and orange sodas (but they are NOT to be tried with chocolate items. Bronwyn and myself learned this the hard way.) We grabbed our stuff, ran the cashier and made a break for the snack room.

Once we finally got there, we stole Doritos and orange sodas. My bird was that a mistake. 

"Holy shit, Millard. This is awful!" Bronwyn coughed. It's official orange soda goes with nothing! But it is quite divine on its own. 

"Hey Bronwyn?" I asked. I was dying to ask her a question all day.

"Yes?" She said.

"Are you still a virgin?" She nearly spit out her soda. 

"Oh my god Millard!" She nearly screamed. Clearly, this was a mistake. "You don't just ask a girl that!"

"Well are you?" I retorted.

She was just about to say something, when the alarm went off.

"I'll get back to you about that." She said and ran towards the shopping section. I followed her.

~~~Horace POV~~~

"Why can't I borrow yours!!" I begged Enoch.

"Because it's mine. Besides you're not even emo" he said. I glared at him. Why did he have to be so stubbornly, adorably, annoying.

Okay I admit I have a tiny tiny crush on Enoch. But feelings will eventually subside and I will move on with my life. Hopefully. But for know he's this annoying little brat, who hogs all the stuff and makes my life a living hell. 

"Fine I'll buy my own." I said and ran off to the nail polish. I needed the polish for a fashion experiment. I was going to see if nail polish covered stains, because Enoch spilled honey mustard all over my favorite black shirt. The annoying little fart.

Suddenly the lights began to flicker and the alarm went off. Naturally I dropped to the floor in the fetal position and prayed to bird. 

"Come on dumbass, let's go find the others!" I looked up to see Enoch standing above me. We got up and ran to find the others, but before we got to them, we were knocked out cold.

~~~Bronwyn POV~~~

I ran out to see Horace and Enoch passed out in the fragrance section. 

"What the...?" Millard asked before I heard voices almost familiar voices.

"Come on Max, let's call the others."

"Already here" 

I looked up slightly from my hiding place (clothes section) to see 6, no 8, teenagers. I squinted closely and barely made out who they were. Max Ericson, Victoria Million, Luke Maresco, Emily Williams, Percy Markley, TJ Carter, and Natalie Maresco. Oh and Charlie. Charlie Williams.

"Oh yeah, we did it, uh we did it! Natalie Maresco sang, much to the annoyance after the angry Australian, TJ Carter.

"Shut it, Tallie!" He practically yelled. He was immediately shushed by Emily Williams. 

"TJ, Natalie, Be quiet!! We don't need to be caught!" She whispered. They glared at each other for at least fifteen seconds.

"Now what is it you need Tallie?" Her older brother, Luke, asked.

"Oh just some stuff for our Halloween costumes, I'll be back in a minute. Percy come help me." She said.

Millard suddenly tapped my shoulder. 

"What?" I asked. 

"I've been thinking of those people all day. There is something about them Bronwyn. Something I don't like." 

I rolled my eyes. This is typical Millard. Always jumping to conclusions. 

"Millard, they seem perfectly harmless. Other than possibly stealing and knocking people out. But normals can handle that. They're not wights if that's what you're worried about."

Millard stayed quiet, but I can tell he didn't believe me.  

"We're back!" Natalie said.

"Finally, let's go before we get caught." 

Victoria snapped her fingers just as the lights came back on and Natalie's hair turned an unnatural shade of blue.

Millard and I looked at each other with the same shocked expression. Oh no.
