Anisa sighed as she dropped down onto the chic leather couch in her fancy-shmancy new apartment. I'm 3 months, she'd have her own demo record and soon after words, she wouldn't just be Anisa Livingston anymore...
I'll be THEE Anisa Livingston! I wonder if I'll ever be on a Teen Vogue cover... she thought to herself with a grin.
Her day dream quickly ended as her younger brother, Luke, burst through the front door carrying a duffel-bag nearly twice his size over his shoulder.
"Mooom," he whined, "I dun-wanna stay huuree." His tendencies to slur his words when irritated bothered Anisa immensely. She gritted her teeth.
Just don't say anything...
"You'll make friends, Luke. I saw some kids by a computer in the lobby around your age. Maybe you could talk to them?" Her mother suggested.
But he'll just say...
"Nuuuuh!" Luke grunted stomping off into his new bedroom in apartment 5H.
Mrs. Livingston shrugged, causing her mocha curls to bob around her head. "He'll get over it..." She directed the words to Anisa, but it was mostly just to calm herself down. Moving was stressful.
"want me to help dad carry in the last of our things?" The pallid girl suggested, the way her skin contrasted with the dark couch made her appear almost ghost-like. Her mother just shook her head.
"Why don't you go off, find something to do?" She sighed. Mrs. Livingston gave her daughter a warm smile.
"Thats ok, I think... I'm gonna check out my room." Anisa slid her lanky body off the couch and leisurely made her way into her new room.
It's... white. She thought with a shake of her head. It's like living in a hotel or something. And that fat guy said I couldn't even paint it. She fell back onto her bed, surrounded by a sea of taped-up cardboard boxes. She turned onto her side to face the window.
"Such a marvelous view of the pool." Anisa muttered sarcastically through her glossy lips.
Below, all she could spot were various teenagers sitting around the chlorinated waters, reading scripts and constantly babbling. One thing did catch her eye, though. Four boys in various costumes standing awfully close to the edge of the pool. The shorter, Hispanic looking one was talking about something, using wild arm movements to explain something to the others. The pale one shook his head and began to reason with him. Something happened because the two taller boys began to hold him back from the shortie. Pretty soon, they all lost their balance and fallen into the pool, fully clothed. From there, they all began to argue and Anisa smiled to herself.
Predictable.

Juniper felt like a king perched atop her much taller, older brother Dominic's shoulders.
"Guys!" she screamed at all of her 5 older siblings, they all stopped, agitated, and looked up at her. "I don't think me and Dom will fit in the elevator, and I don't feel like getting down so somebody get this stupid cart and take it up to our room!" she ordered them.
"Juniper, will you ever realize that you're the youngest and CAN'T boss us around?!" Ivan asked her sarcastically with his hands on his hips.
"We're in room 3J" She smiled. He sighed and took over pushing the the cart with all their luggage.
"Hello? HELLO! Little girl you can't be on that boy's shoulders, you could break something! That is authentic Palm woods property!" an extremely tubby man called from the front desk.
"Well what did you expect me to do? Walk myself?!" Juniper let out a chuckle, which only made the man more irritated.
He shook his head and furrowed his brow "That kind of rough housing could harm our other residents!"
Juniper glared back at him and said "Now listen here-" she looked at his name tag and continued "building manager, Mr.Bitters, I am not little! I'm tall...er than I usually am!"
"10 feet, 7 inches... approximately" A dark haired, crinkly smiled, boy said while walking by. Juniper followed the back of his head with her eyes until he was out of sight, then went back to Mr. Bitters. "And I think you're dumb... K bye!" She then grabbed Dominic's arm, hopped off his shoulders and skipped into the elevators.
Juniper looked up at her older brother with a cocky smile "I think I'll like it here"

Anisa sat alone in the lobby with a Seventeen in her lap she'd bought at the last air port to entertain her for the next 3 hours or so in flight. She'd read it exactly 6 times before but she didn't want to sit and stare.
I don't think I can stomach another reading on Justin Bieber and his 'secret crush'. Where are the articles about how to make friends in an L.A. apartment complex full of drama queens?! She thought. Her elbow crinkled the paper as she set her fist under her chin, staring blankly out the open front doors.
The boys from earlier began to pass, but she didn't notice them.
When's Hawk picking me up for dance lessons? I need to find someone sane to talk to.

"WOAH! I can't believe we're here!" Violet cried out in joy.

((Quality post.))
Anisa's head whirled around to face the noise, her auburn curls bounced into her face. A pale girl of an averaged height stood in the open Palm Woods doorway, suitcase in arms while a proud grin sat atop her face.
She looks somewhat sane... Anisa considered talking to her, but she wasn't incredibly brave when it came to such things.

"yeah Vi, I couldn't tell." Juniper said sarcastically to her older sister.
Violet leaned over towards her sister and whispered in her ear "Why is that girl over there staring at us..." she said with her eyebrows raised.
"I dunno! She looks about our age though, come on!" Juniper grabbed Violet's hand and dragged her toward the girl, letting her bags thump to the ground.
The girl was taller than both sisters and had reddish, curly hair and big green eyes. "Hi!" Juniper yelped with glee, she was going so fast she practically ran into the girl, who looked pretty surprised herself.
"ummm, hello..." she said cautiously.
"I'm Juniper and this is Violet, we're in 3J! What about you?"
"Anisa, H5."
"Awesome! I like that name, we should hang out sometime, k bye!" Juniper then proceeded to skip off in the opposite direction. "Bye" Violet told Anisa with an eyeroll reserved just for her sister, who she followed with a sigh. Anisa simply smiled to herself.

"Juniper, why do you have to be so weird?" Violet complained as soon as Anisa was out of earshot.
((and yes, these ARE quality posts!))

"Hey, I'm your sister!" Juniper pointed out. "I think I'm gonna go swimming" she continued, and began to take off her pants.
"What do you think you're doing?!!" Violet practically screamed.
"What?!! I came prepared." Juniper continued nodding until she was stripped down to a purple and blue two piece swim suit. Violet just rolled her eyes as her younger sister literally sprinted towards Palm Wood's "famous" pool. The words "don't run!" were just about to escape her mouth when Juniper slipped, fell...and was caught.
"Hey, thanks!" Juniper said as she smiled sheepishly up at a much too pale boy for California with short black hair. She had a firm grip on his shirt, which the boy quickly noticed and made him begin to blush wildly.
"No problem" He said and then gave her a little sideways smirk. They stayed like that in a bit of an awkward silence when finally the boy broke it.
"Hey, what's your name? I haven't seen you around here before." He asked her curiously.
"Juniper, I just moved here from Alaska, well technically from Minnesota but I could also say I'm from about 17 other places too! We move a lot." Juniper told him without explaining why. He seemed to be genuinely interested about what she had said but he didn't say anything in response, after a few more moments he suddenly shook his head as if to clear it.
"Uh... Logan, nice to meet you Juniper." He smiled at her again when three other boys walked up.
"Make a new friend Logan?" one of the taller one's with blonde hair said jokingly. Logan looked at him with utter confusion, and then looked down at Juniper and practically dropped her, neither of them had really noticed that they had stayed like that the whole time. He threw his hands up and began to stutter wildly, trying to explain. Juniper just barely managed to catch herself and stood up quickly. Logan's friends just watched it all play out with smiles on their faces.
"Well, less damage done that what would've happened" She stated holding up her now scraped and slightly bloodied palms. Juniper quickly introduced her self to Logan's friends. The blonde one was Kendall, the short hispanic one was Carlos and the tall brunette with the comb was James, Logan still hadn't said anything significant since they showed up though. She babbled mindlessly about the trip here and the doofy building manager and how she wonder's if she'll ever see her hamster Milsom again because the rules here are dumb.
"Oh, and thanks again Logan" she sprung up on her toes, kissed him on the cheek, then did a running cannibal into the pool and soaked all of them.
Logan stood frozen with a look of stress, shock, and confusion all in one while the others merely chuckled and dragged him away "new girls" the three of them muttered to themselves with a smile in Logan's direction.

((Haha, I totally see it.  )) Anisa stood in the lobby, staring out at the teenagers that swarmed the pool like bees to a orchid. She wanted to join them, but her body held her back. She had a past with her appearance and was so scared of what people may think of her that she rarely wore a bathing suit. She gazed at the Jennifers and the way boys' eyes would follow them closely. She envied the way any girl who could lure in a boy without even shooting them a glace or giving a friendly 'hello'. She felt so hidden in her new Hollywood environment, but that was better then being terribly known, right? Anisa's phone vibrated in her back pocket, she jumped and promptly answered it. "Aniza, it's... Hawk." a deep voice bellowed dramatically from the other line. "I'm sending over a limo to pick you up in 10 for wardrobe. Be ready and wear something easy to slip in and out of." The way he said that made Anisa uneasy, though she knew he was talking about for easy, quick fitting. "Hawk out... CAW!" His caw startled her, she calmed herself as she sliped the phone into her back pocket. Black shorts and a cream beaded tunic. Thats what she had on. She figuerd the neck hole was big enough to slip out of the top without frizzing her hair or turning her face red from all the friction. (It gave it that elegant swooped look and improved her neck and shoulder silhouette.) She shrugged and headed outside to wait for him. *** Rebecca, Hawk's assistant, stood back and looked Anisa down, her hand on her chin in contemplation. "Try the black heel with that sequin dress. I think that would be best." This is ridiculous. Anisa thought, humiliated. She was wearing a pink sequined strapless dress with black heels and various silver bangles along with make-up that consisted of smokey eye, glossy pink lip, and a silver gem shaped like a star next to her left eye. "Hair crew will be in alter, so be ready... Aniza." She winked and walked proudly out of the room. "Hair crew...?" Anisa uttered nervously to the tall, lanky women standing around her draped in fabric samples and measuring tape. "They're going to make you look fabulous. I hear they're going to bleach your hair!" One woman exclaimed joyfully. A second chimed in gleefully, "They're going to cut your bang and re-part your hair over to one side." Anisa stared at her feet in horror. "And you know this how?" "There was a meeting." A third lady said running a hand through her own hair. A meeting all about me? "Aniza!" A familiar voice called from behind. She pivoted on her heels to face a tall, dark man wearing sunglasses... inside. "The hair crew is here." He smiled almost wickedly. Anisa forced a smile. Please, no. |

Violet was curled up unhappily on a pool chair watching all the famous wanna-be's splash around. She really wanted to be in the pool, but she was afraid that it might show that she actually liked this place... She had a reputation to maintain, the bitter, loner of a sister, to the one and only Juniper. Violet got up and walked over to the pool's edge and told Juniper she was going back up to the apartment. Juniper just shrugged and went back to splashing a boy with short, brown hair who seemed to enjoy getting splashed. She was walking through the lobby when she noticed 3 teenage boys with plant helmets on, tip-toeing in the general direction of the pool. The taller blond one with unusually large, dark eyebrows caught Violet's eye. Apparently she caught his eye also, when the two of them made eye contact he immediatly stopped and his friends just kept walking. He walked toward Violet and introduced himself.
"Hey, I'm Kendall" He said with the biggest smile.
"Violet"
"Cool, I haven't seen you around, are you new?"
"Yeah, we just moved in. What's with the plant helmet?"
Kendall opened his mouth to say more but by then his friends had figured out that he wasn't following them anymore. A short Hispanic guy and a really, really pretty guy came over and both grabbed Kendall's arms and started pulling him away. Kendall smiled sheepishly and told Violet that he'd see her later and went along with his buds. Violet walked casually to the elevator and waited patiently to get to her floor, then ran down to her apartment and read every magazine she had that had anything to do with boys.

((just a note- I figured that Lydia has already been at the Palm Woods for a couple years, and has befriended the boys. Don't worry-they're like little brothers to her.))
The afternoon crawled by in the California heat. Lydia was slumped in lawn chair that sat on her apartment's patio, listening to her iPod and dozing off. A cold shock of water stung her face and her back, and she jerked upright, letting out a surprised scream. Laughter came from behind her.
"We got you GOOD!" Carlos called out, giving the other boys high fives. Carlos and Logan had huge waterguns in their hands. Lydia laughed good-naturedly.
"Yeah, so you got me. What do you guys want?" she jokingly demanded as she stood up to face them.
"There's some new girls at the Woods!" James said with a wink.
"Have you met them yet?" Kendall asked her. Lydia furrowed her brow.
"No, haven't seen them. When did they get here?"
"Well, the auburn haired girl got here a couple days ago, and this huge family with 3 boys and 3 girls just got here today." Logan said. Lydia raised her eyebrows. She watched Kendall and Logan exchange looks.
"Well, it seems like a couple of you have taken an interest to these newcomers," she joked, poking Kendall and Logan in the arm. They both blushed.
"I guess I'll have to find them and introduce myself. Someone needs to protect these poor girls from the likes of Big Time Rush," she said with a laugh.
"Hey! What do you mean 'from the likes of us'?" Carlos said, making air quotes to emphasize his point. Lydia smiled.
"First, I'll have to change out of this shirt, thanks to you guys," she said, indicating her dripping blouse, "See ya later." The boys said good bye in return, and scurried out of Lydia's apartment to continue their surveillance of the mysterious new girls.

((I've noticed this in a few posts, Anisa is NOT a redhead! She is a brunette but she has a deep red tint to it. Just FYI for y'all. Also, I'm planning on James not even noticing her, or at least acting like he noticed her. I want her to just come from seemingly nowhere to him leaving shocked he'd never noticed her before.)) |

((WELL POOP. I was wondering, should we do posts about the actual episodes or just come with stuff on our own, because it was really lame when people had exact quotes/scenes from newsies so I want to be careful with that. But it would be cool to incorporate ourselves into the episodes we would just try to refrain from doing things EXACTLY the same, because again, that's lame. What do you guys think? I would be going for a combo. of the two))
Violet climbed over the boxes in her room and dug out her viola case and pulled out her favorite instrument. To then be quickly interrupted by the loud crash of the door against the wall and the voice of her younger sister.
"Viooooolet! You should come outside and have fun with me because you are being lame and I looooove yoooou!" Juniper sang boisterously along with her sister's music. Violet set down her viola and stared at the girl standing in her doorway with raised eyebrows and crossed arms.
"I have money for a smoooothie!"She pleaded. Violet huffed and set down her viola and followed her jittery sister out the door.
"Raspberry and a banana please!" Juniper said to the small brunette behind the counter while handing her her money. They both had their hands on the cash when the little girl looked up and said joyfully "Hey big bro!"
"Hey Katie" He replied in the same tone.
"Hi Kendall!" Juniper continued with the greetings, then stared at her sister who's mouth seemed to be open just a bit too wide. Juniper jabbed Violet in the ribs and looked at her with eyes that implied.
"H-H-hey..." Violet stumbled and began to wave, only she didn't realize that the same hand she had attempted to wave with still held smoothie, with no lid. She continued to spill it's contents onto Kendall's shoes. Juniper began to snicker wildly while Violet's mouth began to grow once again right along with her eyes, she couldn't even move. No one said anything until both Kendall and Katie began to laugh right along with Juniper.
"I'm so sorry..." Violet mumbled quietly.
"Really it's ok" He said in between chuckles and patted her on the shoulder kind-heartedly, then bent over to take off one of his shoes.
"Besides, I need to get James back for replacing my tooth paste with moisturizer anyway" He told her with a sly grin. "Hey James!" He called out to his friend who began walking towards him, and then got his right in the cheek with a now sloppy wet shoe.
"OW! What did you do?! Cover this in bananas? You know that's not good for my complexion!" James' face was bright red and he was steaming, he glared at Kendall the whole time he model walked away. Juniper and Katie high-fived him as they laughed even harder.
"Not a very conventional way of revenge, but nice shot all the same." Juniper told him with an approving nod. Violet, still stunned, grabbed her sister's arm and hurried off in the opposite direction.
"How to lose a guy in one day: Step 1- bring your little sister. Step 2- dump bananas into his shoes." Violet reported to the back of the elevator door before banging her head into it.
