[[Oh, gawd... Can't wait to move in there... lol]]

"You took the easy part," Tyler complained, kidding but he followed Kerra out the door and slowly walked over to the tree that she was crying under. He sat down next to her and put his arm around her. "Brooke didn't mean to make you this upset," He said quietly as he wiped away some of the tears on his cheek. "Are you okay?"

[Anima and holaagurl14: do you wanna just arrive now? We're three pages in and still haven't even met the half-siblings...]

[I think you guys should arrive now before the rp gets further. But that's just my opinion.]

Kerra held onto Tyler as she cried. "It doesn't matter..ever since the accident she's been acting out more and taking everything out on me and I'm tired of it!" Kerra said crying into Tyler's shirt. She knew she shouldn't be crying this much but she couldn't help it.

[yeah, that would probably keep this moving better]


Tyler held onto Kerra tightly. "I know, but she's just a little girl. I'm sure she's even more confused and scared about this whole thing than anyone. Atleast you'll have people here to keep her occupied and than it'll just be me and you hanging out everyday. Okay?" He whispered as he looked away.

[Timesklp attack, go! rofl]

A taxi pulled up in front of the house and halted to a stop. A boy and two women walked out. They grabbed their bags and payed the driver. They walked up to the crying girl and a boy; both a little younger than Tobi. "Is this the... Way residence? We are the ...Ways..." Tobi stuttered. He hated talking to anyone but Geenie, but they were still a bit away with their luggage.

((After gather her wits about her from that wicked timeskip attack... xD))

Geenie chuckled nervously, her nerves starting to prick at her concentation. "Heh, the other Ways... you know..." She clamped her mouth shut then lest anything stupider emerge. She took to studying the new house instead. 'Dang... daddy's done well without us...' she thought, uncharacteristically bitter about it. That was the most awkward part about meeting her half siblings. Had her father treated them worse than he treated her full siblings? Better? Which of the two would even be worse? What if he had loved them, tucked them in every night, encouraged them in everything they did?

'What the hell was so wrong with us?'

"A cherry one," Brooke mumbled as she dried the tears from her face. That was when she saw a taxi pull up infront of the house. She jumped out of her seat and ran to the front door which she quickly swung up. Brooke stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips as she studied the boy and two girls that were walking up to the house.

"Yes we're the Ways," She chimed in happily as she kept her eyes on Kerra. She thought about kicking her again but decided against it, seeing how upset the first one had gotten her.

Claire climed out of the taxi last, dragging her two suitcases and pet carrier. The first thing she saw when she turned around was not the girl crying, but the other girl standing in the doorway. "Hey! Are you the one who called my brother?" Claire asked, smiling. Her hair hung in her face, but she was still smiling. It was the way she liked it. Just then, she noticed the girl crying. "Hey, what's wrong?" Claire asked. She immediately dropped her things, and walked over to her. She looked about as old as Tobi. She felt the need to comfort her, seeing as they would be living here from now often. "Was it your sister?" Claire asked, motioning toward the young girl standing in the doorway.

OoC: Sorry I haven't replied in a while. Just got home from school.

Geenie shot looks at the crying girl, then at the younger one. Those must have been her new sisters... who was the random guy hanging out? She shrugged internally and crouched gracefully so that she was at the little one's level. She was a pretty little girl, though her eyes were a little bloodshot, maybe from crying, maybe from rubbing them, Geenie couldn't tell. She thought it smart to keep her occupied, either way, remembering affectionately how Tobi had been at that age-- though honestly she was only two years older...

"Hi. I guess we're rommies now. I'm Geenie, that's Tobi, and over there is Claire. Are you Kerra or Brooke?"

Kerra looked up at the girl who was obviously the oldest of the three that got out of the taxi. "Yeah..but I'm fine now.." she said getting up. She brushed herself off and grabbed Tyler's hand. "Come on Tyler." she said pulling her now boyfriend towards the house. She walked past the other two siblings and past Brooke. "Lainie! Oh there you are. Let's go. We're going to the mall." Kerra said grabbing her cellphone and now waiting for Lainie to get her stuff.

Claire looked to Lainie who stood with Kerra and Tyler. She picked up on names fast, much faster than other people she knew back home. "Hey, I'm Claire," Claire introduced herself. "These are Geenie and Tobi," Claire motioned toward her sister and brother as she said their names. Lainie seemed nice, but why was Kerra crying when they got here? It had something to do with Brooke, but what had Brooke done? "You leaving?" Claire asked, surprised, when she saw Lainie's purse. Was it because of her, Geenie and Tobi? Maybe this wouldn't be as easy as she thought.....

"Um yeah. We were going to go to the mall." Kerra said looking over her new siblings. She already didn't like the girls but she would play it nice for them. Judging by Tobi's appearence though, she had a feeling he'd fit in nicely with her and Lainie. "Don't worry. We'll be back before it's dark." Kerra added as she stepped off the porch still holding Tyler's hand.

Claire's mouth opened slightly, as if she was going to say something, but it shut almost as fast as it had opened. Should she say something? If she said 'have fun', would that sound too old for her? So, instead of just saying something, Claire nodded, acknowledging that they were leaving. She turned to Brooke. "So, while your sister is gone today, what do you want to do?" Claire asked. She didn't want to be in the house, so she hoped Brooke wanted to leave, too. The house reminded her of how her dad had left, then had a more successful, happier life, and that didn't make Claire happy. At all. Yet she still acted cheerful, for Brooke's sake.

Tobi grabbed his guitar and pushed between Claire and Brooke. He went to the first empty bedroom and threw his stuff down on the bed. He would unpack later. Then he began to play and sing to the melancholy tune from earlier. He played for Geenie. He played for Claire. He played for their sorrow...

Brooke took the icepop and threw it onto the floor. She hadn't wanted it in the first place, she just wanted Kerra to do what she said. "Hi," Brooke said to Geenie as she crossed her arms. "I'm not stupid Kerra," She said rolling her eyes. Next she turned to Claire. "I want to go to the mall with Kerra," She said as she sat down on the floor of the porch.
