Friends of Attaway

**After Emily’s birthday, she went to Disney with her friends to reunite with Piper and have fun during the week. Duncan wanted to revisit his hometown so Polly could meet his family. Rachel decided to go as well. So, she asked Hannah to babysit Jamison while the friends were gone. Polly agrees with going back to Attaway because she wasn’t able to see her friend Layla last time and Harmony was moving out of Attaway. She also paid for everyone’s tickets.**

 **At the airport, there were plenty of fans that knew her. She took pictures with some of her fans and gave away free merch. Well, they had to play a game to win the merch. A total of three lucky fans won and they got to choose which piece of merch they wanted. The fans were very happy with the merch that they received.**

**On the plane, the same events occurred but this time, twenty-five people had participated. Of those amount of people, fourteen of them were lucky.**

 **When the couple arrived at Attaway, Duncan was so excited. “Here it is,” He announced. “The Armando place! Sometimes I wish I never moved.”**

**“It’s ok,” Polly said. “This change is good because will be able to hang out more than ever, and LA is so much better compared to here.”**

**“Why would you say that about your hometown?” Duncan asked.**

**“As a matter of fact,” Polly replied. “This isn't my place. I used to live near Los Angeles when I was born, but my mom was too young to have me so I’m actually adopted. I meet her last week so she didn’t forget about me.”**

**“Well, you have a good foster parent,” Duncan said. “You are so nice!”**

**“Thanks,” Polly blushed. “Your sweet too!”**

 **When the friends got off the plane, Hannah had bought a rent-a-car with Polly’s money so they could travel where they wanted to go. Even Duncan wanted Polly to see his parents, Polly wanted to see Harmony first before she had left Attaway so Duncan accepted and Harmony was notified about their arrival.**

 **When they did arrive, Leyla greeted them and hugged Polly.**

**“I missed you Leyla,” Polly said.**

**“I missed you more,” Leyla replied. “You were a lot smaller the last time I saw you.”**

**“Yep, we grow so fast,” Polly replied. “I remember when Rhyme was small too. Her voice also sounded cute as well.”**

**“I know, crazy what change can happen in five years.”**

**“Yeah especially when you are an influencer like me!”**

**“I know, I watched your music video and you rocked it.”**

**“Thanks, Leyla! So how is your girlfriend?“**

**“Honestly it’s undecided right now.”**

**“Well, I hope y’all do become official. I don’t like that type of stuff, but I want you to be happy. Pick your path and I pick mine!”**

**“Who is that?” Leyla asked looking at the boy beside her.”**

**“That’s my new boyfriend, Duncan!”**

**“Hey, Leyla, nice to meet you.”**

**“Thanks,” Leyla responded. “Wait? Arent you that boy that was a known bully at my school?”**

**“Yep and I changed for the better,” Duncan replied. “Don’t worry, I won’t bite.”**

**Leyla smiled.**

**“So where’s Harmony?”**

**“I’m upstairs!”**

**“So, you're leaving now?” Polly asked.**

**“Yes I am,” Harmony replied a little upset. “But I’ll visit here again to see my friends and the Chicken Girls.”**

**“That’s good,” Polly said. “I hope you enjoy your new home wherever you go. The Chicken Girls won’t be the same without a McAdams.”**

**Harmony smiled. “It’s ok, I already know who will be the ringleader of the CG group will be though.”**

**“Well see you soon hopefully,” Polly said about to leave. “Remember that change can be a good thing.”**

**After leaving Harmony’s house, the group then went to Duncan’s house so Polly could meet his family.**

**Duncan’s mom’s eyes went wide. “My precious boy got him a girlfriend,” she said.**

**“So this is Ms. Freda Gregory and my dad is Mr. Arron Gregory,” Duncan said introducing his family.**

**“I’m glad that y’all’s son is a good boy,” Polly replied. “I can stand him.”**

**“Yeah he was grounded for a long time,” Mr. Gregory replied. “He was a rough fellow indeed. But that Rooney girl sure did change him as a person. We can’t even believe that’s even the Duncan we used to know. So proud of him”**

**“Yep, Rooney sure did do some ‘happy damage’ to him,” Polly joked.**

**“Yeah sure did,” Ms. Gregory agreed. “That whole article was a huge blessing by itself. Attaway was having a bit of a problem with bullying that time and I heard that over 200 students had stopped their bullying habits that year.”**

**“Oh wow,” Polly grinned. “Hopefully the school is still bully-free to this day!”**

 **After the conversation, everyone ate dinner. Rachel had gone out to eat with her friends. Hannah had called to check on everyone. Jami had missed her best friend and texted Polly frequently. Duncan had noticed this and had a field day.**

**“Someone’s trying to third wheel us,” he joked. “Nah, it's just Jami.”**

**“Well I kind of miss her too,”  Polly replied. “Even Piper.**

**“Who’s Piper?”**

**“My sister. She does pranks and challenges her friends. Emily is known as her best friend.”**

**“Oh, that’s nice. Even nicer than y’all have a connection despite you being adopted. Who are Rachel and Hannah to you?”**

**“They’re my sisters and I love them equally.”**

**“That’s nice! You're an awesome sister to them!”**

 **Then Rachel pulled up and came inside. She had two kittens on her hands. “Look at the new family members,” she said.**

**“They're so cute!” Polly exclaimed.**

**“Dang Polly don’t lose your voice,” Duncan said. “It’s just a kitten.”**

**“But you don’t know how much I love cats,” Polly replied. “Thanks Rachel!”**

**“Not a problem,” Rachel replied. “I’ve already named them. One of them is named Ashby, in remembrance of one of Piper’s cats. The other is named Sally.**

**“Those are some nice names,” Duncan said. “Hopefully I can get a kitten one day.”**

**“Well you’ll have a surprise coming up on our first anniversary,” Polly smiled. “And it might be a cat that you might receive!”**

**“Oh, boy can’t wait!” Duncan exclaimed. “This will be the best anniversary ever. I don’t even care if it hadn’t even arrived yet, I’m just so excited!”**

**“Me too,” Polly replied.**

**For the rest of the day, the couple was then driven to Millwood to see Skye. The latter had dated her boyfriend Dylan for almost a month. Polly congratulated her and hoped that their relationship would be a healthy one. Skye said the same to Polly and Duncan. Both Polly, Duncan, and Rachel rested at a hotel close to them and went to sleep.**
