Apollo once lived with the Wrights, for about six weeks. He then found himself kicked out in place of a blonde teenager. This girl, Apollo later found out was called Pearl Fey, a sixteen year old who was a cousin to one of Phoenix's old friends. Apollo was then forced to find a new place to live; he now lived in the same house as the Skye sisters and Lana's husband Jake. He was a low maintenance lodger, paying his way and never questioning the rules.

Pearl was an over the top and excitable girl. She didn't mean to be, she was just very new to the city – which Apollo soon realised. The only thing was she was very obsessed with two things. Romance and Klavier Gavin.

It was by pure chance that she had seen Klavier teasing Ema one afternoon. It was a conversation nobody would be able to forget.

"Fraulien!" Ema sighed, pushing the plaster for her mould into Apollo's arms.

"What!?" Ema snarled.

"Wow Fraulien. Maybe you don't want these Snackoos then." Klavier flashed the bag of chocolate snackoos in front of her face.

"Gimme!" She screamed, leaping up to try and grab the treats.

"Na, not unless you kiss me liebe." Klavier grabbed her waist and pulled her into a forced kiss.

Since that day, Pearl and Trucy were determined to get Ema and Klavier together. Since that day, Ema tried to avoid them.

"Good morning Apollo." Lana smiled.
"Good morning Lana." He smiled his usual morning smile – a small smile which brightened anyone's day.
"Care for some food?" Apollo looked into the pan. Pancakes.
"Mm, please." He then joined Jake on the couch.

"How are ya cowboy?" Jake greeted.

"Not too bad thanks." Apollo replied honestly as he glanced at the front page of the paper.

Ema ran on a specific routine in the morning. If she's had a bad dream and it kept her awake the night before, the day after would suck for her. If she managed to sleep all night, she'd be nice until she saw Klavier.

The door slamming was heard on the floor below. Apollo waited until she came down.

"Bad dream?"
"Yeah about that stupid brat Pearl getting me with Klavier!" She shivered. "Ugh…I feel sick just thinking about it! I can only imagine what it's like for you to know that she got you kicked out your house and office!"
"At least she's not trying to set me up with Klavier." Apollo stated coldly.

"Do you want this coffee on you lap!?" She threatened.

"Sorry…"
"At least if my day starts this bad it isn't going to get worst…" Ema stated. She knew she would wind up regretting it.
