“This is the first party I’ve ever thrown,” Michael told Adam and Trevor. “The place is getting trashed again.” But he smiled. The museum was the perfect party space, and everyone from school was taking full advantage.

Half of Isabel’s cheerleading squad was holding court in the coffee shop in the back. Over by the Elvis on Mars display there was already some dancing going on that was a lot more like making out.

“Why the first?” Trevor asked. He took a swig of his Lime Warp, grimaced, and set the can on the floor.

“Michael and I haven’t lived here that long,” Adam answered quickly. Michael got the feeling he was a little jealous of Trevor. He could understand that. Michael was sort of like Adam’s big brother/roommate. And now Michael’s real brother had shown up—and moved in.

“And before I lived here, it was all foster homes—which are never exactly party central,” Michael said. “But anyway, this is the optimum night for a party. No one’s sick. No one’s locked in the compound.” He slapped Adam on the shoulder, and Adam flashed his eager puppy-dog smile. “No one’s on another planet. No one’s trying to kill us, at least not right this second. And—”

“Oh no, no, no,” Maria cried as she squeezed her way between Michael and Trevor. “There’s going to be no talk about killing tonight. It’s Alex and Trevor’s welcome-home slash welcome-to-earth party.”

“So what should we talk about?” Michael asked her.

“Little fuzzy bunnies with little pink noses,” Maria answered immediately “Little fuzzy bunny slippers with little pink noses would also be acceptable.”

Michael cracked up. He never knew what was going to come spilling out of Maria’s raspberry-colored mouth. “How about the fact that your little brother is attempting to see up Kieran Scott’s dress as we speak?”

Maria let out a yelp. She started toward Kevin, but Michael blocked her way.

“I think Max has it covered,” he told her. He glanced over his shoulder just to make sure and saw Max leading Kevin over to the office, where Ray had set up an assortment of old pinball machines.

“Sorry I had to bring him,” Maria said. “Mom couldn’t find a babysitter. She’s going to pick him up in about half an hour.”

“Not a problem,” Michael answered.

“So if we’d grown up here together, is that what I’d have had to do with you?” Trevor asked. He raised an eyebrow at Michael. “Take you to parties that I didn’t want you at in the first place?”

Michael could hardly imagine what his life would have been like if Trevor had been around. Everything would have been radically different. Even if they’d been in foster homes, at least they would have had each other.

“You’re not that much older than me,” Michael reminded him, clamping down on the sentimental trash in his head. “I probably would have gotten invited to all the cool parties and had to take you along.”

“Would not,” Trevor countered.

“Would too,” Michael joked.

Maria laughed. “You really are brothers, aren’t you?”

“Definitely,” Trevor answered. “I paid special attention to all the materials the Kindred gave me on sibling relationships.
