summary: New neighbors move in next to the Douglass' three girls named Sandra, Dannie, and Lindsey. Mostly focusing on Dannie, the middle child is a brazen girl raised like the hellion she is but when she meets Colt her hidden emotions be put to the test.

The Move

Colt Douglass laid back in his bed on the top bunk he threw his baseball at the ceiling, Rocky had gotten a laptop for his birthday and was doing god knows what on it, Tum Tum was of course sitting at the window eating some jellybeans when he started to choke on it.

"Your supposed to eat jellybeans not inhale them dork," Colt said, Tum Tum coughed then looked out the wndow again.

"Hey we have new neighbors," Tum Tum said. Colt and Rocky almost pummeled Tum Tum as they looked out the window, summer had started two days ago and the Douglass' were stuck at home because most of there friends were on vacation. As they watched, a grown women looking in her early forties stepped out of a silver station wagon followed by three girls, Colt groaned.

"Why did they have to be girls," he said.

Dannies POV

Dannie stepped out of the car looking around, she turned to face Loretta their friend who had protected them from their fathers who were all pedophile or child abusers. She shook away the nasty memories.

"So, where are you going after this," the eldest of the girls asked, her name was Sandra, she had very light brown hair and sharp green eyes, none of the girls were related though they became friends after similarities in their broken families. Dannie helped the youngest out lindsey shook her head sending bright red hair everwhere.

"Well, Im going on a business trip so you guys will be alone for a while okay?" Loretta said. The girls nodded. Dannie sighed and took out her ponytail which was so tight she had developed a migrane, her wavy black hair settled on her back. Although Dannie had gotten away, a dark past lingered behind cold grey eyes. Loretta set the last of their things, gave them money to survive the next three months then left.

"We should get to moving the boxes inside," Lindsey said, though it was quite muffled by her lollipop.

"I'm surprised you don't have cavaties Cherry since you eat so many sweets," Sandra called Lindsey by nickname as they all did. Sandra was Falcon, for her good hearing, Dannie's nickname was Braze, short for Brazen because of her boldness, and Lindsey was called Cherry because she would only eat cherry lollipops or jollyranchers.

"I wonder if there are any kids around here," Sandra said thoughtfully. Dannie rolled her eyes.

"I don't mind playing with girls but if they're preps Im gone," she said.

Colts POV

Colt cringed as their mom called them down, no doubt going to tell them to meet the new neighbors. He was right.

"Hey boys I just baked a banana cream pie I want you to take it to the new neighbors and get to know them," she said as they trudged down stairs, Rocky took the pie and walked to the front door followed by Tum Tum, Colt lingered back.

"But mom, they are girls," he said emphasizing the word girls as if it were a disease.

"So, Colt they might be nice, so I want you to be nice to them," she said, Colt sighed and followed his brothers out the door while muttering some colorful words under his breath.
