It was the day after we brought Ember home. 

"Guys! Hurry up! We can't keep the scientists waiting!" I yelled.

"Coming!" Sky shouted back.

Two minutes later, myself and my family, including Ember, were on our way to the vets. Well, a scientist of sorts.

We got to the clinic and myself and Max went in with Ember. The kids had to wait outside.

We had to wait a good two hours for all the tests to be done and blood tests taken and what not.

"I think, we need to move. Again." I said out of nowhere.

"Why?" Max looked a bit shocked.

"Well, we have enough room for now, but when Ember grows up, she'll need more room to move and play about. We may have a big house, but Ember doesn't have her own room. She spends most of her time outside, which is ok but she needs her own room. Yesterday she sneezed and destroyed one of the kitchen chairs." I explained.

"I guess..."

"I'm gunna talk to James about it." I told Max.

"Fine. Just don't die." Max warned.

"Eh.. No promises." I grinned.

"Whatever. See you later?"

"Yep. Take the kids home. No need to pack."

*Knock knock knock*

I opened the door.

"Hi James." I greeted.

"Hello Alecxis. What do you want?" James asked.

"How'd you know I was gunna ask something?"

"I know you. What's this about?"

"Well. I'd like to move homes. To a bigger house." I told my oldest brother.

"Oh? How come?"

"We need some more room since we now have Sky and Ember. I mean, we have enough room, it's just Ember is growing and she'll need more room to mess about." I explained.

"I see. What kind of house?"

"Just a normal one. Or a mansion house. As long as it has at least six bedrooms and the normal rooms, I'm fine with it. Also it needs a big backyard."

"Let me think... There is a mansion house with seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large kitchen, a pretty big backyard, a reasonable sized playroom, a computer room and a medium boiler room." {I know, big mansion house, but it has the necessary rooms!}

"Ok. But, how much do we have to pay?"

"Not much considering how big the house is. Only... Let me check." James opened a holographic computer. "It's only about one hundred euro per person per month. H.Q. will pay for electricity and all that as well as food, since your family is a high ranking family."

"I guess I'll take it. Wait, does a dragon count?"

"No."

"Great!  So that brings me to a total of..." I counted in my head. "Five hundred euro a month. That's pretty good." 

"Yes. Told you so. Anyway, you'll have to go and get the deeds and things from Dianna, the person in charge of moving homes and that stuff. Here, take this to her." James handed me a few papers that he'd been writing on. "Just sign it when you get your deed and you'll have a week till you have to move out."
