Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. 100, wow! Sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter up. Don't beat me please!! Well, I hope you enjoy anyway. There are plenty of new twists, so I hope it was worth the wait.

"Shut your face!!" Brittany yelled in the hallway and proceeded to hurl her math workbook at Chris. He ducked out of the way just in time. They both laughed.

There was just about fifteen minutes left of Drama class and the teacher had fallen asleep and so the class now had free reign to do what they wanted. Well, only because Jamie had to leave early. She wouldn't stand for such anarchy. Ethan really wasn't up for it much either, but he really wasn't a voice of revolt either.

They had moved there mini mob into the hallway because, like the Art room they were in a wing of the school all to themselves. The theater. Ahhh…. They were the only class ever down there the whole day so administrators never stopped by and only the kids who delivered passes came out down this far, and only when necessary.

Hannah suddenly ran into the hall through the backdoor of the stage where she and Ethan had been goofing off before. "I got his keys!!" Hannah silently squealed to Brittany.

"Rad!!" Brittany replied. There was a little game they all liked to play with Ethan. Everyday he played with his ring of keys by spinning them around of his finger and every so often they would fly off and everyone, especially Brittany, would try to get them before he did. No one had been successful, until now. "How did you get them?"

"He was spinning them around like usual and they flew backstage and I grabbed them. I don't think he knows I have them" Hannah squealed.

"Hannah!!" They heard Ethan holler for inside

"I think he knows." Brittany said.

"Go on, run." Chris said shooing her.

Hannah took off down the hall and quickly rounded the corner that lead directly into the main lobby for the theater. High ceiling and slick floors with flying buttresses and silver rusting water fountains. Amanda and Katie were sitting at on a solid wooden bench that was set against the wall right between the two sets of double doors that lead into the theater. The two had obviously heard the whole thing.

Hannah quickly looked around for a place to hide as she heard the backdoor of the stage crash open and Brittany yelling 'where's the fire'. Amanda and Katie already had it figured out for her though, and both lifted up there legs and motioned for her to get under the bench. Hannah didn't need to be told twice and once she was close to them slid on her knees and put her palms out to slow herself as she flattened out and went under the bench.

Amanda and Katie put there feet down just in time before Ethan came crashing into the room with Brittany and Chris behind him. Meanwhile Zack was sleeping peacefully on the floor inside the theater and dreaming or ninja piglets.

"What's the matter, did you loose your Keyblade?" Brittany asked.

Hannah was very thankful that Amanda was wearing a long skirt today and Katie her usual TRIP pants. Hannah could see threw a small crack that Ethan was looking all around for her.

"Where is Hannah?" Ethan asked.

"Who?" Katie asked.

"Ugh! She stole my keys, which way did she go?" Ethan asked in a stance that meant he was ready to take off again once he had directions.

"Haven't seen her." Amanda lied but from the look Hannah could see forming on Ethan's face, Amanda was silently motioning where she was hiding. She hoped it wasn't true, but back further against the wall just in case.

She saw Ethan's legs walk past Amanda and she heard the doors to the auditorium open and a few seconds later shut. That was a close one, they must have pointed that she went into the Theater. If only she was right.

Amanda and Katie both jumped to their feet and dashed away and Ethan dropped to his knees and looked under the bench at Hannah. "Give me my keys!" Ethan howled at Hannah. He wasn't mad per say, just a little annoyed.

"No!" Hannah squealed trying to back further into solid wall. Ethan started jabbing her in the sides with his fingers making her laugh. "Stop it!!" Hannah complained, but Ethan persisted to poke at her and try to wrestle his keys away. Hannah eventually saw her opportunity when Ethan's knees slid apart and she threw the keys between them and watched them slide all the way across the room.

Ethan growled in frustration and accidentally knocked his head on the underneath side of the bench when he tried to get up.

--

"Are you okay?" Hannah asked Ethan for the umpteenth time as she gently patted his head, running her fingers threw his fluffy dry hair.

The bell had just rung and Ethan and Hannah were standing in the hallway talking before going their separate ways. They usually didn't do this but today Hannah felt especially guilty for what happened to Ethan.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Ethan said even though he didn't look very happy. He cracked his head pretty good on the bench and they were all surprised he was taking it so well. He didn't break the skin, and he said it just hurt a little, but as Brittany said, 'I think that broke the sound barrier. Even the aliens on Mars said what the hell? Are we being invaded?'

"You don't look fine." Hannah persisted.

"I'm superb. I just think I won't be diving under any hard wooden objects for awhile."

"That's probability a good idea." Hannah said.

"Ethan!!" Someone yelled. A tall gangly boy approached looking like he was bothered and in a hurry. "Ethan…" The boy complained. "Do you have an extra house key? I asked Andy and he told me to go fuck myself, which isn't nice to say to anyone?" The boy said directing the last at Hannah and pointing an accusing finger at her.

The boy had long brown hair that fell to his chin in thin waves and his bangs fell down bellow his eyes and almost to his nose. His eyes were a dusty gray/blue color and he had a slender sharp face. He wore a long black trench coat and dirty torn jeans beneath and a plain T-shirt. He was just as tall as Ethan and still going.

The boy, Hannah noticed, was also carrying a glass. A proper drinking glass, in his right hand.

"What is this new look of yours anyway?" Ethan asked.

"Vampire hunter. Now do you have an extra key or not Bill Nye?"

"Where is my twenty dollars?"

"Are you serious? You ass." The boy said as Ethan gave him a stern look. "You, hold this." The boy said handing Hannah the glass he was holding and Hannah saw it had about two inches a dark maroon liquid occupying its depth. It was actually glass too, and not plastic. Hannah sniffed the concoction as the boy dug around in his trench coat pockets and she had to pull away from it quickly. It had a rank sour smell that stung her nostrils.

The boy pulled out his wallet and sorted out Ethan's money while Ethan unhooked the key ring from his pants and flipped threw the keys before pulling the right one off.

"Take your dirty money." The boy said thrusting the wad of bills into Ethan's hand and grabbing the key. He took back his glass and took a swig of it and Hannah could visibly see his face pucker because of the sour taste. "Catch you later Ethanator." The boy said before bouncing off down the hall.

"Now, where were we?" Ethan asked as if nothing had really happened.

"Who was that?" Hannah asked with extreme curiosity. She didn't hold drinks for just anybody.

"My brother." Ethan said simply as if it were no big deal.

"Your brother? How many siblings do you have?"

"Only three. Two brothers, Andrew and Benjamin, and my sister, Julie. Andy is in your grade, Ben is a freshman and Julie is in 7th. Anything else you need to know about my life? Are you writing a novel?"

"I'm sorry, I was just curious. Your relations just keep popping up in the strangest places."

"Yeah, they do that quite often."

"Now what in the world was in that glass Ben was carrying?"

"I'm not too positive but it's a mixed drink he makes for himself in his cooking class. It's full of concentrated juices like lemon juice, grape juice, pomegranate juice, stuff like that. He made me try it once. It's quite potent. I don't know how he stands it."

"Are you sure your head is alright?"

"Yes…" Ethan sighed.

"I just feel bad."

"It's okay."

"Alrighty," Hannah said. "Just take care of yourself." Hannah said pulling him into a hug. He didn't hug her back but just squirmed uncomfortably and then patted her on the back hesitantly. Ethan wasn't a hugger.

"Will do… farewell." Ethan said before finally taking off in the direction of his last class. It was only after Ethan had departed that Hannah saw Dwayne and Seth coming and she knew exactly what he had just seen.

Dwayne's eyes were hard but still were forgiving. Hannah hoped, as she ran to him, that he would have amnesia and forget the whole thing. He didn't seem too placid about it and didn't write a thing about it and just asked how she was. She said great and Seth started blabbering on about his and Dwayne's 'fucking' World History teacher and how he had just assigned this huge project, and how he could just forget it because he wasn't 'fucking' doing it.

By the time they got to Art Hannah just wanted the day to be over!! I'm sure everyone can sympathize with that. But she was with her two favorite boys, even if they were a bit annoying at time. Well, just Seth. Dwayne was a doll.

"And to boot, I saw a massive cockroach in the gym earlier today. It was flying and everything wasn't it Dwayne? Tell her. It almost ate me, I swear." Seth was divulging about half way threw class. Dwayne didn't answer. He hadn't been very wordy for the past twenty minutes. All his concentration was on working on his World History homework, but Hannah knew there was more.

Hannah really wasn't paying that much attention though. She had been glancing over at Andy the whole period who was sitting on the other side of the room with Brittany and some other kid with a Mohawk and another kid with massive gages. It wasn't that she really wanted to look at Andy but she was mentally comparing his features to his siblings. Benjamin and Andy had the same kind of hair, she would suspect if Andy didn't dye his hair black and straighten it, which he only started doing lately, possibly to express his brooding teenage emotions. She wondered if Ethan ever went threw this faze. Dwayne and Seth started looking at her funny when she started laughing out loud.

Ethan was really the one who stood out the most among his relations. He was the shortest because Andy was taller and Hannah had a hunch that Ben was still growing. His hair was fluffier and thicker than the other two and his face was more round. One common similarity though, besides the brown hair that was a constant, was the fact that they all had the same nose. Quite cute it was really.

What the hell was she thinking?

She turned back to the conversation and couldn't help but share her new information. "Guess what I found out today."

"Balloons are made out of water." Seth guessed.

"No!"

"You said guess."

"Ugh! I found out that Andy and Ethan have another brother at this school."

"You're shitting me. Another Krass! Jesus, there parents liked to bang."

"They've got a sister too, but she's in middle school."

"Well, who is this mysterious boy that completes the Krass triangle of testosterone?"

"His name is Ben. I saw him today. He's quite like Andy, except he's a freshman."

"So he's emo too?"

"No, they just look a bit alike."

"How boring."

"Greetings and salutations." Brittany said as she randomly materialized at the end of the table.

"How do you do that? Every time." Seth said as he jumped back.

"It's because I'm compact. I fit easily into most overhead compartments."

"Who said you could talk to me?" Seth asked.

"I did. Hey, look at this." Brittany said holding up her hand and they all saw what looked like red dye all over her hand. "Blood, ahhh!!" Brittany said waving her hand in front of Seth's face. He jumped back automatically toppling the stool he had been perched on moments before.

"Just kidding, its just paint. But I did have you going." Seth started clapping for her. "What the hell are you doing monkey boy?"

"Just applauding your stupidity. It's really amazing they let you walk around without any kind of electronic tagging."

"Hardy har har. It is quite clever though! AIDs!!" Brittany yelled throwing her hand in front to Seth's face once more just as he was sitting down again.

"Yes, we all know you're rife with all kinds of diseases that will baffle the medical community."

"You have a magnificent speech impediment." Brittany told Seth.

"You look like a cheap stripper." Seth retorted while picking his nose.

"Speech impediment!" Brittany spat at Seth.

"What are you on about?" Seth asked.

"Is it your thing to give everyone a weird nick name?" Hannah asked.

"Taco." Brittany answered which was her way of saying yes.

"I happen to think my speech impediment is sexy." Seth said even though no one was listening to him anymore.

"I think I'll call you buttons." Brittany said to Hannah and then turned on Dwayne. "And you can be dubbed… man titties!!" Brittany said throwing her arms around and him and began groping his chest. Dwayne pushed her off of him.

Those are mine, no touchy!

"I think you'll find they belong to me." Hannah said throwing her arms around him. Dwayne seemed to like this.

By the way, this is basically the routine thing they went threw whenever Brittany decided to enlighten them with her presence. Brittany and Seth would bicker and then she would humiliate Dwayne and now comes the common ground for her and Seth.

"Hey, hey, hey." Seth said turning to Brittany. "I want to sex your dad!"

"I don't think that really deserved the preface; hey, hey, hey. Besides you can't get me because I have a Keyblade!"

"Mine is bigger."

"No way, my Keyblade is superior above all."

"One Keyblade to rule them all."

"You got that right."

Brittany and Seth began to chat while Dwayne worked on his essay for World History and Hannah leaned against his arm reading over his shoulder.

Can you write out a conclusion for me? You write them better than me.

"Sure, what's the essay about?" Hannah asked.

Constantine

"Gotcha." Hannah said taking the paper and reading it over. Then an idea popped into her head. She handed the paper back to Dwayne after writing one sentence.

WTF!!

Hannah had written; In conclusion Constantine is the sexyness.

"I couldn't help it. I think it makes a smashing end to your paper." Dwayne just stared at her. "Fine, I'll change it."

In less than five minutes Hannah had written a proper conclusion to Dwayne's paper and he was putting away his things as Hannah idly flipped threw his text book. She flipped to the front cover and began to read the graffiti of past owners. Most of it was ink or pencil scratchings and sometimes so and so loves what's his face and other people's names. But wait…

"Why does your book say 'The sub is retarded'?" Hannah asked.

It was there when I got it.

"It's kind of funny." Hannah said.

"Give it here. I like to read the stuff people write in textbooks." Brittany said and Hannah passed her the book.

"So how about that weather last night?" Hannah asked snapping her fingers at Dwayne. He didn't even crack a smile. "Come on, cheer up grumpy pants." Hannah said hugging him.

"Oh, my, God!" Brittany yelled.

"What?" Hannah and Seth both asked. Seth a bit more excited and grabbed the book from Brittany.

"I can't believe your book says Spank the Mailman! That is generous."

"Thank you, thank you." Seth said bowing.

"You wrote that?"

"Indeed."

"You never wrote that."

He did.

"Where?" Hannah asked.

"Right under the sub is retarded." Brittany said pushing it towards her and pointing.

"Wait, wait…" Hannah said getting a pen out of her bag. She quickly wrote her contribution into the book.

"Your mom." Brittany read.

"Wait… wait…" Seth said. "Put it all together and it's even better." They all looked at him. "The retarded sub spanked your mom's mailman."

"Now that is classic." Brittany said laughing. "I've got to tell Andy this latest development." She said running off.

Dwayne tapped Hannah on the shoulder and she turned to him. He pointed after Brittany and then (with both hands) picked up a handful of his hair and made a face after Brittany. Hannah giggled at the way he looked. He let his hands drop although his hair still stuck up at odd angles, and he smiled at her.

"Aw, I love you Dwayne. You stud muffin!" Hannah said hugging him and kissing him all over his face.

"What about me?" Seth asked.

"No one cares about you."

"Hey!" Seth said grabbing one of the colored pencils she had been using and snapping it in half.

"Ohhhh… like I care, there not even mine, they're the schools."

"Nanannaana…" Seth said taking another and snapping it in half too. "Your green is next."
