I'm very glad you like Let's Talk, HollyHook! Thank you for everything you said in that review, and Let's Talk about The Worst That Quad Happen!

Same layout as last time, I'll talk about inspiration, the chapters, and just general stuff!

The Idea Behind The Worst That Quad Happen

I got the idea reading two other stories in the NRDD fandom.

Britney Harper - Paige1915

Foster kid - wolfgirl3567

(I love both those stories, check them out if you haven't)

As you know, this story is not like those in many ways. The only thing they really have in common is that it involves foster kids. Most of the inspiration for my story was taken from my own head; my own little box of weird thoughts and ideas.

Unlike TFQS, I didn't get anyone's help with ideas. I got it all in my head. I think we'll start with why I put the quads in their respective foster homes.

Dawn with the Rallison's

This story was a while ago too, so if anyone doesn't remember, I'll quickly explain.

The Rallison's were the abusive parents, Scarlette and Michael, and their kids Wynter and Kevin. They lived in a terraced house in Florida.

I put Dawn there because she is the strongest quad, both physically and emotionally. She could take the abuse better than the boys, as she needed to stay strong for her siblings, even though she's not with them.

Ricky with the Fisher's

The Fisher's were Sam, Gabrielle and their daughter Meghan. They lived in the penthouse of a very tall skyscraper in New York.

As the Fisher's are a very fancy family, I decided to put the most fancy quad there. The only difference is that the Fisher's are too fancy, and way too strict. Everyone knows Ricky doesn't like being corrected, and here he's being corrected constantly. He would take it the hardest (which is like the opposite of the reason I put Dawn with the Rallison's haha). Ricky doesn't like being outdone either, and Meghan constantly is better than him.

Dicky with the McDaniel's

Dicky's left with Alec, Douglas, Steph and their soon-divorcing parents Isobel and Marcus. They live in a bungalow in North Dakota.

I put him there, because he was the last one left to place. I had a clear vision for Dawn and Nicky, and four clear visions of the houses. I was left with the penthouse and the bungalow, and put Ricky in the penthouse, which put Dicky with the McDaniel's. Now I'm super happy with that decision, because he fits in perfectly there!

Nicky with the Thornton's

The Thornton's are the big family of eight, consisting of Cassandra, Ryder and their kids Kaeli, Andreas, Braelynn, Mason, Mabel and Staycee. They live in a villa in California.

With so many kids, you'll never have time to yourself as they need constant attention. Without really acknowledging it, Cassandra and Ryder keep the attention to their children, and gives none to their foster kid. As the youngest of the Harper's, Nicky is used to attention, and now that he barely gets any, and is often expected to look after the younger kids, he's uncomfortable there. That's why I put him there.

Now the story, and why I decided that everything that happened should happen

The easiest way to lose your house, where it's like physically gone, is a fire, so I went stereotypical, and used that idea. Then it gets all crazy when you get to know that Tom and Anne are in fact alive.

That's because I wanted a stereotypical happy ending. Then of course they all go to Florida, and stay at the same hotel. The scene when the boys find each other was something that I knew would happen from the start of writing this story.

I didn't plan for Meghan's change in attitude, but it felt right.

Now let's get to Explain That Chapter

Horrible Events
Chapter Summary - After a normal day in school, the Harper's return home to realize their house has burned down, leading to them being put in the foster system.

A fire is a pretty horrible event. I can't even imagine it.

The Perfect Rallison's
Chapter Summary - Dawn leaves the boy quads to meet her new family. She's now living with the Rallison's, who seem perfect in every way. But are they really?...

The "perfect" Rallison's. They're not so perfect at all in fact. Abusive, mean, controlling.

The Fancy Fisher's
Chapter Summary - Ricky is the second to leave, and he goes to New York City to live with the fancy Fisher family in the penthouse apartment.

The Fisher's are obviously fancy, so what else could I name this chapter.

The Arguing McDaniel's
Chapter Summary - Dicky leaves Nicky alone when he goes off to North Dakota to move in with the McDaniel's, who's parents are on the edge of a divorce.

I honestly love the McDaniel kids, but I hate the parents. I hope they get a happy ending.

The Crowded Thornton's
Chapter Summary - Nicky is last to leave for his new home, the Thornton's. A Californian family of eight, who are really busy at all times.

I love this family, they seem to cozy. They're just not the right family for Nicky. I wonder if anyone noticed the Gravity Falls Easter egg I threw in there. It's Mason and Mabel if anyone's wondering.

The Week of Realization
Chapter Summary - During their first week in the foster families, the quads realize the dark truth about the families, and they're not the good place they thought they were.

Showing their true colors now, huh? I hate Scarlette and Michael, but I love Wynter and Kevin. I don't like any of the Fisher's, but I love British accents. The McDaniel kids are my faves ever, but Isobel and Marcus can go jump off a microwave. I want to be a Thornton, but not like it turned out for Nicky.

Sweet, Sweet Freedom
Chapter Summary - Tom and Anne are trapped in a truck on the move. They escape somewhere in the country, but where?

Yay for alive parents! And their sweet freedom

Celebration, Business and Apologies
Chapter Summary - All three families the boys are with decide to go on a trip to Florida for different reasons.

I felt happy writing this, because it meant everyone could be happy soon

Illusions at Hollander's
Chapter Summary - At the Hollander hotel, the Harper boys think they see each other, but question it.

This chapter involved research. The Hollander Hotel is real, and I picked it because... I don't remember but there was some reason.

The Best Collision Ever
Chapter Summary - The Harper boys collide with each other during breakfast, and are now reunited.

Yeah this was one of the things that I thought of from the beginning. I knew this would happen when I started writing this

Finally Free
Chapter Summary - Dawn escapes the Rallison's, and by chance and luck reunites with Tom and Anne

I really hope Wynter and Kevin will have a happy ending too. They need to get away from Scarlette and Michael

The Reunion of the Harper's
Chapter Summary - While in town, all the Harper's see each other, and are reunited at last.

I can't help but wonder what they're going to do now. They don't have a house, they're in Florida, can't get home to Boulder, have no money, what do they do?!
