The Code House is oddly enough located in the woods. The house resides on a hill and uses stills to stay level. The family absolutely loves their quirky house. It's relatively small with only four bedrooms, a kitchen, family room and a dinning room, the house is the perfect size for the family. Each room is cozy with an air of welcoming to it. The furniture is all wooden and natural looking, but there are several high tech gadjets scattered through the house: DVD players, surround sound systems, gamecubes, computers, and various other gizmos. While the yard is unkept, it's wide and crazy. It provides plenty of hiding places and areas to escape to, while the woods themselves keep many mysteries from the adults. [Most likely, a better description will appear eventually...]

Yes, Mihajlo was, by now, supposed to be at the New Year's Bash. But he had other things on his mind, and he wasn't where he'd told either Tesla or Theora he'd be. He was, instead, somehow making his way to the Codes' front door, through the brush and darkness. He'd learned where they lived through what he hoped was much discreet investigation, and had arrived here in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, Rhys would allow him the pleasure of escorting her to the dance. Since he didn't know the number, he couldn't call, and he could only hope that she hadn't left by now. He carried in his left hand a small box, containing a white rose wrist corsage, and raised his right hand to tap on the door. Oh, please, oh, please, oh please be home, he begged silently.

Ryley heard the knocking on the door and went to answer it. They didn't really know anyone in town and all of the neighbors had been by to introduce themselves earlier that week. Blue eyes sparkling curiousity he opened the door and froze. There was a boy, with a flower... without a word he pulled the door open wide and shouted, "Ry! Get your ass out of the bathroom, you have a... an escort!"
"She has a what?" came the shouted reply from the older brother.
"That boy you told me about, Ry," was the calm reply. "He's here!"
There was a screach of worry and Rhys appeared at the top of the stairs, "Don't you dare touch him!" She beat Avery by only a few minutes. It didn't matter if she was wearing a short skirt, white top, and had a little make up on. She was ready to kill.

Mihajlo was somewhat relieved at how perceptive Rhys' brother was, saving him from having to explain himself, well, to anyone but Rhys, that is...He assumed this was the third sibling, and smiled politely at the boy as he summoned Rhys with an ear-splitting call. When Rhys came down the stairs, Mihajlo's smile changed to one of genuine cheer, if tainted now with a bit more nervousness. "Hello!" he said, mustering as much cheer as he could considering the fact that he had a hunch he might be about to be murdered. "I was in the neighborhood..." no, that sounded absolutely ridiculous. Did he want her to think he was a werewolf, wandering around in the woods this time of night? "Well, actually, I came over here because I was hoping perhaps I might be able to take you to the New Year's Bash at school. Were you going?"

Three sets of blue eyes watched Mihajlo intently, one happy the other two murderous. Rhys quickly stepped between her two brothers and out the door, pulling it shut behind her. There were two indignant cries from inside the house, but Rhys kept her hand on the door knob as she turned to look at Mihajlo.
"I'm supposed to be going with my brothers, but I think I would rather go with you," she told him with a small smile. She held up the small bag, she had discreetly grabbed before running out the door, it had everything she needed. "You have perfect timing, let's go!"

"Will they do me serious physical harm?" Mihajlo asked, glancing over his shoulder back at the door. His momentary elation at the fact that she had actually agreed to come with him had been somewhat tainted by his fear of a violent and painful death. "They do seem rather protective." he said, smiling, fully aware that he was stating the obvious. "What can I do to win them over?" he wondered. "Surely they haven't treated every boy who's ever shown interest in you this way?"

Rhys looked down at her feet suddenly finding the ground extremely interesting. There were some bad memories related to why her brother's were so protective. With a small sigh, she answered, "They didn't use to treat guys like this... but they have their reasons." She didn't want to get into it right then, but if he asked she would answer.
Before her brother's could come out the door, she took his hand in her own and pulled him away from the house. They could walk and talk, or atleast she hoped they could.

Mihajlo knew an uncomfortable topic when he heard one, and this was definitely one. He squeezed Rhys' hand lightly, and suddenly remembered what he was holding in his other hand. "Oh, I almost forgot." he said, opening the plastic box. "I got you this at the florist's. I hope you like it...I didn't know what you'd be wearing, but I thought white went with almost everything." He extended the corsage towards her for inspection.

He hand entwined with his, using it as a life line. She was happy that she didn't hve to get into the difficult topics tonight, and glad that he had sensed her feelings about it. She knew it would come up later, but tonight was not the night.
She was presented with a white flower and a small smile creapt across her face. It was beautiful, white and sparkling. "It's perfect!" she told him happily. She gave him a quick hug in thanks and gave him her hand so he could slip it on her wriste.
It looked as if tonight was going to be a wonderful night.

He slipped the flowers onto her wrist, and smiled. "Looks lovely." he said. "I can think of lovlier things, though." he said, giving her a quick sideways smile. "We'd better hurry. I was supposed to be there a half hour ago. Kendall and Theora probably think I've been kidnapped, murdered, or abducted by aliens." He laughed. "Well, Theora's the only one who'd believe that last bit. I think she's a conspiracy theorist."
