"We got it. You don't need to do that." Dec grabbed the suitcase from my hand and Ant took the other one from Rowan.

"But we always-" Rowan started but stopped herself.

Rule #2 No Complaining

Ma'am and Sir had only had 5 rules.

Rule #1 Obey Every Order

Rule #3 Don't Be Seen

Rule #4 Don't Try To Run Or Find Help

Rule #5 Up By Sunrise, Down By Sunset

But we didn't have to listen to them anymore. "Ant, Dec, we're used to it. It feels kind of weird not doing it."

They looked at each other with sad expressions and handed us each a small bag with strings.

"You can wear these on your backs, it has your other clothes in them." Ant told us and we started to walk off the plane.

We were all dressed in what they called, sweats. We had borrowed them from Ant and Dec.

Dec is a slightly smaller size so Rowan had his clothes, though they were still huge. But that was something we had grown accustomed to. They tied the string tightly around her waist so the pants wouldn't fall down.

I had on Ant's, which fit a bit better, but they were still too big and the string had to be tied around my waist, as well.

I saw Rowan smile as she slid the bag on her back and held the strings with her hands. It felt nice to have something to do with your hands instead of just swinging them around, like a lot of people here were doing.

Eventually, we got out of the airport and walked a short distance.

"We're just going to take a train back rather than call someone to pick us up." Dec said.

"Umm-" I start.

"That thing." Ant points at a big, long.. thing. It was like a bunch of rectangular shaped cars attached by hooks.

A door type thing slid open and vanished revealing an opening. Ant came back over to us with 4 pieces of paper in hand and we stepped on the train.

Again, Rowan and I looked out windows. We started off slowly and then began to pick up speed. The train stayed on something called 'tracks' and couldn't go on the road.

Don't ask me why.

The train kept stopping and some people got on and some got off. A while later, Ant and Dec stood up. We copied and when the doors opened, we followed them out.

The sun was up. I felt heat on my face. It wasn't a lot but it was more than I've ever felt.

Sure, I've felt the heat before but never directly from the sun. This was different. This was great.

I looked around at the people at the 'station', Ant told me it was called.

There were men and women with babies and little kids. Some people walking around, holding hands.

There were two people that stood out, though. They looked a slightly older than I was. The one with black hair was stomping away from a boy with yellow hair.

I couldn't hear what they were saying, but they looked angry and upset. The yellow haired boy was talking to the back of the other one who looked like he was ready to cry.

I was about to walk over to him and give him a hug. I didn't want him to be upset. I didn't want anyone to be upset.

But before I got there the yellow haired boy turned grabbed his arm and turned him around and gave him a kiss to the lips.

"Dan, come on." Rowan tugged at my wrist.

I followed her, but kept my eyes on the couple. I didn't see their faces again. The black haired boy shoved the other away from him and left, angrily. I saw the other one shrug and walk over to another boy and start talking to them instead. He didn't seem angry or upset at all.

I turned my head forward and saw that we were walking down another street. We stopped and Dec took out his keys and unlocked the door.

I immediately saw it in Rowan's face. I knew I had the same expression. We walked in and cleaned. We didn't have any supplies, but we did what we could.

Straightening pictures, blowing and brushing away dust, picking up the mail at the door and putting it in a neat pile on the counter, fixing the pillows. Anything.

I saw Ant and Dec watching us confused. "You- you don't- no. You're not going to be doing that. You're our children. No need to clean up. Only clean up after yourselves but don't overdo it." Dec stopped us.

I somewhat understood. I could kind of remember from when I was little, but Rowan was always treated that way. She was genuinely confused.

"You'll get used to it." Ant placed a hand on her shoulder and she flinched. It was small, we were starting to really trust them.

"So, you're rooms are down this hall." Dec started to lead us around. "This one is Rowan's. And right here next to it, is Dan's."

"What's this stuff in here?" I asked.

"You each have a bed, a desk, a desk lamp, and a closet. These were just spare/guest rooms. There's really not much in here. The walls are still white. We have a lot to do today, so we can fix them up later." Dec said.

"Mhmm. Just stay in what you have on. I called before and told them your size. They've probably already made your outfits. We don't have time to shop, but we will."

Ok I'm going to stop here because I'm trying to make these chapters not 40 pages long. lol, sorry bout that. And I just want to say Thank You So Much for reading those really bad chapters in the beginning. I went back and reread and I started cringing at it. Nothing changes the storyline, it was just unimportant stuff. Such as, the bar scene. It's way different now and better, but it won't change anything in the story. So thank you thank you thank you for putting up with this story.

Keep it real ~Logan
