"Mom do I have to do gardening?" I complained, "The yard looks great. I mean me helping isn't going to make our yard look like a piece of heaven dropped down... I have a life and homework." I gave my mom a nice, unreal smile.

"If you want money for whatever you want this week keep working. Plus, if I don't say so myself, our yard does look like it fell from heaven." She put her hand on her hip and took a look at the yard. Oh, brother.

"Ten bucks. That's what were working for. Come on Carlie, we can do it. Only two more dead grass piles then I can pick weeds!" I say to myself. That was me trying to cheer myself up. As you can see it isn't working.

I should of got gloves. "Holy mother of..." [insert swear word of any choice here.] I screamed. A ant like figure came off the deep grass. I was freaking scary.

"Carlie!" My mother screamed as loud as she could.

She gave me the "no daughter of mine will say those words. "If you would of seen that thing oh man I can't even think about it." I still got the 'look'.

She sighed. "Go work on the weeds by the shed. I'll do the rest of those piles,"she said as she pointed by the shed. I would actually like to work on the piles because I don't want another stern talking about how the yard is perfect. Even the plants that looks like we had a jungle in our backyard.

I bend down to pick up the weeds by my baby evergreen tree when I spotted it. Gosh, I am really having a bad day. "Oh my freaking g! What is that!" I drop all my stuff and start running. More like sprinting. There was a orange-ish fly thing on the jungle plant. Told you we lived in a jungle.

"I never even seen... What was that thing?... I will personally pull out the jungle myself!"(Note that the '...' was a colorful choice word I used.)

"Go in the house now Carlie! No money! I don't even want to see you. Go to your brothers house now!" Gosh, that was worse then I thought.

She means my real brother. If you want to hear the story here it is : When I was in junior high, 7th grade tragedy hit my family. My dad has never been around for me. He loved my older brother Josh. He never wanted me. I was a surprise. My mom was happy. Even happier I was a girl. My dad left when I was born. My brother was only 7 and didn't know what was happening. My mom died in a car crash because of my dad that's another story either way I have no one for me so my mom's best friend (which is know adopted me) took me in. She is super rich but freaky. Sorry I said that wrong her husband is rich. Oh, and my new "brother" is mean. He never wanted me in the family (either did I). He loved being the only child. The only good thing is that my brother gets to watch me every summer. Which is not a lot of time. I love going to the summer cabin with him and his going-to-be wife, Amy. She beautiful funny and nice. She is like the sister I always wanted. She is all I wanted to be. She is everything I hope I will be.

"Hey bro. What's up? How's life?" I say opening up the door. 

"Thanks for asking to come in. Did you get kicked out of your own house again. This is the third time this month. You got to stop doing this," my brother says jokingly.  

We both started to laugh. It lasted awhile. I put my bag down, stretched, then sat on the couch. 

"If your going to stay here you have to work. Go get Johnny Boy and take him one a walk in the woods," he said pointing to the collar and leash.  

Johnny Boy is not your normal dog. He is truly one and a million. He is a mop dog with a mix of Great Dane. He looks like a Great Dane wearing a mop. Hey, don't judge a book by its cover. Jb is the kindest dog I know. Well I was walking one day I saw a mop on the ground in the forest. I went to pick it up and then two big, bug eyes we're looking at me. He had the saddest face. His brown eyes melted into my soul. I picked him up and decided to take him home. Since my new 'mom' didn't want him my sweet brother took him in. When I get my own home Jason is going to let me have him.

"Come on Moppy! Let's go on a walk," I say loudly so he can hear me.

As soon as I say walk he is running towards me. I told you he is a good dog. Another reason you have to love him. He hands me his collar in my hands. (How cute!) When I open the door he waits for me to go first. Again, got to love him. I take him done his favorite trail. Which is my favorite to. It is so peaceful. Well not tonight.

I know it's not any of my business but if saw three kids making a fire with no parents you would say something!

"What are you guys? Runaways?" I ask them. They all nod at each other.

"Nope. We are to find you," the youngest boy says.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I DON"T EVEN KNOW YOU," I said kinda freaked out. Freaking out is normal now a day for me.

"We need a place to crash," said the girl.

"I don't even know-," I stopped right there when she turned into MOPPY!!

"Holy mother of Moppy. You get...turned into... MOPPY!!!

After she turned back to a human she said,"We all can do stuff like that."

"Well if you are going to come into my house then I kinda need your names."

"Oh my name is Claira. His name is Mil(talking about the younger one). Last but not least Neffy."

I have to say if he wasn't a freak then I would without doubt date Neffy. I am betting he has a six pack, a weird power, and awesome lips of gold. Now I really want to make out with him.

I turn towards my house. I can't believe I am doing this. Hey at least one of them are hot.
