"I can't believe you get to come home with us for break!" Aricka says as Amaya puts her back in the back of her car.

"I know! I can't wait to meet your family." Dan sat in the back with his suitcase, so the two girls could DJ and talk about boys/whatever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"They'll tell the story of tonight..." Amaya sings, and then Aricka starts,

"Have you ever felt like nobody was there..." the two girls keep singing, but Dan starts recording them. "Even when the dark comes crashing through when you need a friend to carry you, when you're broken on the ground, you will be found.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aricka runs up to the house, Amaya on her heels, and walks in. "ROMAN! LOGAN! PATTON! VIRGIL! REMY! DAMIEN! PRANKS! MISSY!" she yells. "DAD! I'M HOME!"

From all corners of the house, "Aricka's boys," come running. Virgil's the first one to reach her, and they hug. Amaya watches as the family reunites, then Aricka turns. "Guys, meet my roommate, Amaya. Dan had to go home real quick, but he'll be here soon."

As if on cue, Dan walks in, and the couple kisses. "I just saw you a few minutes ago; did you miss me that much?" he teases.

"I always miss you," she replies.

During movie time, Amaya ended up between Logan and Virgil. "So, Aricka's told me a lot about you," she says.

"She's told us a lot about you," Logan answers. "How you two literally ran into each other, then found out you were roommates."

"Yeah, what are the odds?" Amaya answers with a laugh. "Aricka's amazing. She keeps me sane."

"More like you keep me sane," Aricka replies, and the two girls laugh.
