I was woken the next morning by the darn phone ringing "Hello?" I mumbled sleepily. I didn't hear anything then realized I had the phone upside down so I was listening to the reciever. I blushed and put it the right way "hello?" "Ashley?" It was Marc-Andre. "Hey," I said, not knowing what to think or feel. "Hey" He whispered "I have good news" "What is it?" "We're coming to Sierra City!" "That's great!" I yelled happily. My shouting woke Mary-Kate who sat up and rubbed her eyes "What is it?" She whispered. I just waved my hand at her to be silent "When?" "I'm not totally sure but soon" I was happy of course. But also kind of scared. "Ashley!" Mary-Kate whined. "Tell me!" I waved my hand at her again. "What about Brett?" I asked. "Brett?!" Mary-Kate said loudly. "What about Brett?! Is he ok?!" "Fine." I said to Mary-Kate and covering the receiver of the phone. "Just hold on a sec!" "He's coming too." Marc-Andre said. "Great!" I said. "I gotta go. See you two soon." He said. "Bye." I hung up. "WELL?" Mary-Kate asked. "They're coming here!" I squeeked joyfully Mary-Kate and I started to do a happy dance. "Look at this place!" I said as I looked at the mess known as our apartment. "Clean up time!" Mary-Kate said. ***Kathryn*** We were informed we would be leaving for Sierra City the next day. I was happy to get out of L.A. But I was also kind of nervous about meeting Mary-Kate and Ashley. It had been like a week since I'd talked to another girl and I was sick of being around tons of guys. I just hoped I'd get on with them. Hearing Brett and Marc-Andre talk you'd think they were perfect. "This is a picture of Mary-Kate." Brett said sitting beside me and handing me a picture that had seen better days. "Isn't she beautiful?" I took the picture and I looked at it. "She's very pretty." I smiled. "You two looked happy." "That was the day before I left for the war for the first time." He said, taking the picture and looking at it. "We didn't have the chance to finish the picnic until a month or two later and that's when we started going out." The smile got wider on his face.
