"But why do we have to move?" Zoey asked me with a sorta frown on her face.

"I dunno, Gary says it's best for us and he'll make more money" I replied.

"But I like Seattle, I mean it's the best place I've ever lived" Zoey said.

"Yeh me too, but maybe this new place will have some cool places we can explore" I replied, "Anyway you'll have me, that is if you still want me huh?"

"Your pathetic" Zoey said giggling as I threw a pillow at her and she got ready to return fire when the doorbell rang. It was Dawn telling us we better hurry and get ready cause Gary wanted to get back before dark. See this was supposed to the day we were all going to see Mr. Beecher's mansion he had let Gary borrow or gave to him or whatever. So he and Dawn had been on edge all day, and when it was finally time to go they both hurried us up.

"Are you going with us?" Zoey asked Dawn a few minutes after we'd found the main highway and headed up state. "I mean are you gonna move with us, into Mr. Beecher's big house?"

"Course she is" Gary replied without even looking at Dawn for her reaction.

"Yeh I assume so" Dawn finally replied, giving Gary a dirty look as both of us laughed.

"You know this place is supposed to be mega mega huge, so you and Zoey can have your own bedroom's if you want" Dawn pointed out. "Hell if it's as big as Beecher says, you can both have two."

"My own bedroom?" I asked, not having really thought much about it before, but now I was beginning to like the idea. Being that growing up in the foster homes, orphanages and half-way houses with my slut/drug addict mother, I'd barely ever had a bed to sleep in, let alone a room of my own. Now don't get me wrong I really like sharing an apartment with my girl Zoey, but it's so damn small you have to go out into the hall to change your mind. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating just a little for effect, but you catch my drift. Anyways, I looked at Zoey and asked her with my most honest voice. "Is having seperate bedrooms ok with you?"

"Are you kidding?" She asked with a smile, "I get my own bed, and don't have to lay awake half the night listening to your train like snoring, or you waking me up at 2:00 a.m. by kneeing me in the back. Yes it's ok with me."

"She really snores like a...." Dawn started before Gary piped in from the front seat.

"GUYS, GUYS there it is on the mountain" He said pointing straight ahead at this huge ass house up on a mountain in the distance. We pulled off the highway at the next exit and made our way through a bunch of curving streets with an endless stream of gated driveways leading to mansions of ever increasing size. And at the very end of the road. Right as the paved road turned to dirt and lead off into an opposite direction, and what me and Zoey would later find out led down to a private beach, was the longest drive way any of us had ever seen. Gary stopped and searched through his bag before finally finding what he was looking for, a key that was supposed to unlock the gate. Thankfully it worked after a few tries and following Gary's realization that he needed to put it in the right way. DUH. What seemed like an hour or so after opening the gate. The house came into view at the end of the driveway.

"It's mother fuckin huge" Dawn said as she got out of the car, I had to agree it was. Three floors high at least. We were met by a black dude in a goofy looking penguin suit at the front door.

"I am Bellingham, you servant and butler my good sir" He said bowing at the waist as Gary gave him a strange look. "I see that you have brought your family? Would you do me the pleasure of introducing them to me?"

"I'm Dawn, Gary's....significant other" Dawn said as me and Zoey giggled, "and that's his daughter's Cassie and Zoey."

"Hi" We both said at the same time.

"Would the young ladies like a tour of the in house arcade?" Bellingham asked as Zoey's eyes went wide with surprise and nearly screamed her answer of "YESSSSS!"

"I shall return in a moment my good sir and proceed with your tour of the grounds if that is ok?" Bellingham asked and as Gary agreed, he motioned for us to follow him. Through the glass doors beside the steps and into a large room that looked to have every book ever written. Bellingham stopped as he noticed I had and began explain that Mr. Beecher was an avid fan of reading and had collected many of his favorite authors for years, and always wanting to have his favorite novel of the moment on hand ordered many copies at once. So as to always have it on hand when the mood struck. I made a mental note to revisit this room as soon as humanly possible. Zoey jerked my arm and this time we followed Bellingham into another room, this one with the biggest tv ever made on earth or so it looked.

"In this room, you'll find ever conceivable platform for enjoying the graphicly enhanced video gaming systems of today" Bellingham said as both me and Zoey shot him a confused look. Which he seemed to understand and in a lower voice said "Every damn video game ever invented is in this room ok?"

"WOW" Zoey said moving in front of me and plopping down in the leather recliner. Which prompted Bellingham to open the top of what I thought was an end table, but under the top was a collection of gaming systems. X box, Gamecube, Platstation 2.5, Sega Dreamcast and all of the other nintendo systems lost orsince forgotten by most people.

"Mr Beecher has two very young nephews who are anamored of the current video gaming sensation" Bellingham said proudly.

"So am I" I said as Bellingham smiled, "just never had the money to buy a new one."

"All of the games you desire for any particular gaming system are neatly stored in the cabinet on the far wall" He said pointed to the wall with a set of glass doors leading to the outside. "Now if you require nothing further, I shall return to your father and his mate to conclude his initial tour."

"We require nothing further from you at this time Bellingham, you shall return to the living room" I said with my most plastic british accent as Zoey giggled. Bellingham simply smiled and turned to leave the room. I opened the aforementioned cabinet and found a treasure trove of games as Bellingham had said. Finally after arguing we decided on playing Mario Kart for the game cube. Which Zoey ofcourse won, like 800 times in a row. Finally I demanded we change games to one I thought I could win. Football. Madden to be exact. Zoey reluctantly gave in and the first time we played, SHE BEAT ME. As the play clock hit zero on the game and my last attempt pass went flying out of the back of the endzone, she jumped up and started dancing around the chair. "Bite me you cheater."

"I didn't cheat you just suck" She said with a daring look. I grabbed her arm and dragged her on top of me and started to spank her hot little ass as she laughed and fought to get lose.

"I see you young ladies are becoming fond of the new surroundings?" Bellingham asked as he plodded back into the room.

"I beat her ass at her own game and she's mad Bells ham" Zoey said as I cracked up at her butchering of his name.

"It's Belling Ham ma'am" He replied in a slower manner.

"You gotta be a little patient with my Zoey, she's a little slow, huh baby?" I asked as Zoey flipped me the bird and I laughed harder.

"Well your father's tour has concluded and he's ready for you to rejoin him in the front hall" Bellingham said, "so if you would follow me."

"Whatever you say Bell's Ham" Zoey said giggling as she ran ahead and he rolled his eyes.

"So are we moving here?" I asked as we reached Gary and Dawn in the front hall.

"We sure are" Gary informed me as both Zoey and I celebrated. "I was just telling Dawn we might as well go home and start packing."

"Pack what?" Zoey asked, "Let's just stay here and let Bell's Ham go shopping for us, we're rich now."

"I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself Zo" I said poking her in the ribs.

"Bellingham we'll see you soon my good man" Gary said as he shook his hand.

"Bye Mr. Bell's Ham" Zoey said as I laughed, "I mean Bellingham."

"Have a safe and joyful trip home and I'll be looking forward to your return with the morning's earliest light" Bellingham responded with his usual british candor.

I didn't know about anyone else, but I for one was ready for this. Hey being rich might not be so bad, even if it is someone's else's money.
