Lima was surprised to hear a voice speaking to her. For a second she thought that she was losing her mind. But then she turned to see that it was Pretzel. She started to walk towards her and the others. She had never noticed them there due to her anger.

"Heeeey Pretzel! Good to see you!" she said, embracing her in a warm hug. "I hope I'm not toe last person to arrive," she added, laughing.

Lima just nodded. "I know what you mean I don't know half the people here either."

She sighed deeply at that question "not really... Um, I had to get a ride from my brother and well, we don't have the best relationship. He's practically disowned me as family and I only came with him 'cause I had no other choice." She gave a weak smile before adding, "but we're here to have fun so I'm already cheering up a bit." It was true talking to Pretzel really helped her to calm down a bit.

This is an interesting converstaion... she thought, sighing inwardly. And yes, she remembered Pretzel's story well. "Um, yeah, I think I remember that story. It was the one that explained where your name came from, right?" And picking up on Pretzel's little eyebrow raise she knew that that was the end of the discussion. And she was glad too. She knew that it was a touchy subject for them both.

She grabbed onto the next topic eagerly now. "I haven't been to Italy before either. So I was so excited when I was invited over here." And what was this? An interesting trip to London with Slythies? "What exactly happened?" She blinked.

Lima was suddenly startled from her conversation by a familiar voice calling her name. Turning her head she noticed that it was Kyler - who seemed quite bored to be there as he looked to be sulking.

Excusing herself from Pretzel she made her way over to him. "Hi Kyler," she said giving him a big hug.

Ariana couldn't help but keep the huge grin on her face as Vannah said the next thing. A slightly shocked look appeared on her face "Why would I forgive you? You didn't do anything wrong. I completely understand about … well you know." She replied knowing now wasn't the time to speak about it just yet. There would be time in the future before term to discuss that.

She turned back to Katie and hugged her, "I wish I had a twin it must be great fun." She said chuckling before looking over to William. He was acting very strange, he never acted polite or kind to anyone, well especially not to her. She figured her mom had told him to act that way and shook her head.

At that moment Curt entered the scene and Ari stepped back knowing there was going to be a mushy couply scene. She instead stood by Sam and smiled, petting ginger as she said, "You should poke them all and run." She looked over at he growing crowd and shook her head, "Well on the other hand, do you know the Sonorus spell?" She asked, cocking an eyebrow.

When Sam introduced her to Mel she smiled, nodding, "Hey nice to meet you." She replied before blinking at the compliment on her eyes. "Thanks, they say the eyes are the windows to the soul and I guess mine are even more powerful. Everyone loves them" She couldn't help but chuckle.


William was almost bouncing in his seat, wondering where to go first. Follow the Katie girl or run off toward the trees and climb them? Hmm, tough choice he thought, edging towards the tree line, hoping Ari wouldn't see. She seemed to be preoccupied at the moment chatting away with her friends and didn't seem to be watching him as closely as she should.

He was almost free when the girl named Sam spoke to him. "What? Oh right, well I'd like to hang out with him soon." He said distractedly as he slowly turned and headed back to his cousin. He was standing there almost looking as if he'd lost his best friend when a voice called to him. Turning, he almost grinned,

"Free Willy? Haha I love it!" He chortled, his eyes sparkling merrily as he looked to his cousin, shrugged then took off towards the boy, whom he thought was called Legend. "Hey you have a cool name man." He said as he caught up to him, wondering what they were going to play. He had to admit he wasn't very sorts like; in fact he hated sports well except Quidditch of course.

Ari watched as William ran off and sighed, well at least he's making friends she thought as he joined Legend and the others. Good one less thing for me to worry about she thought with a slight smirk as she watched Ginger wake up and blink at her.

Jared smiled as Curt told him that he was going to be meeting 'everyone' there. "If you say so." Jared said, slightly skeptically. He wasn't really expecting on sticking around but after all, it might not be so bad. Jared shook his head slightly with a grin as he watched Curt bolt over to his little girlfriend Savannah. He remember back to his days of 'young love' and Hogwarts relationships, they really were the good ol' days. As he was about to go mess with Curt in front of his girlfriend, another girl caught his attention as she asked if he was Curt's older brother. She looked considerably older than most everyone else around here, he could tell a few of the kids had just graduated. But she appeared to be older that them. "Yeah I am." Jared said with welcoming smile, "You can call me Jared though." he said jokingly with a wink, it seemed to him that the name 'Curts Brother' was starting to become regular, his brother Curt was the apple of his parents eye. Unlike himself. "And you are?" he asked rhetorically, although he had a feeling that she was the host of this summer extravaganza.

Curt smiled as he waited for Savannah reaction, and he shook his head slightly in amusement as he saw Alexis walking over. As Savannah uncovered her own eyes and turned around to hug him, Curt simply beamed as he had missed her well over the short period they had been away from each other, the kiss was definately a great welcoming. "Hey Vannah." he said with a slight grin, he could tell this summer was going to be amazing. "Where is Kaitlynnh, I really want to meet her?" Curt asked, slightly laughing. He had always heard that the little girl had a very, errr, strong personality.

As Alexis made her mischevious comment, Curt just shook his head with a slight grin... he was more than used to this kind of stuff. Curt did however give a nervous glance over in the direction of Mr. Mae, he hadn't met him yet and was already worried that the man might hate him. Curt turned his attention back to Alexis before continueing on, "Well it's nice to see you too Lex." Curt said with a sarcastic scowl, "And I must say, it's good to see you out of your natural beast form." he joked, in reference to Alexis being a cheetah for most of their fourth year. He was never going to let her live it down.

Curt looked over Savannah's shoulder and saw his older brother Jared talking to somebody he didn't know, she looked alot older though. Curt simply shrugged before turning back to the group. Curt smiled to Ariana and Sam, Ariana had actually been an eagle last term. It was a very strange year at Hogwarts, very strange indeed. "Hey Ariana and Sam, yall's summer going okay?" he asked with a grin, "And Ariana, what did your parents say about you turning into an eagle?" he asked curiously with a big smile.

OOC: Ok Guys like it was said in the pm, we will be going forward to the next day. Sorry to interrupt all the convo’s and all but its better this way for plot reasons . *nods* So yeah it’s the next day, and i’m guess all the charries are over the shock….or whatever of seeing each other.

Inside the kitchen Amber was sitting down reading a magazine. Her wand was moving away as she muttered spells under her breath her eyes still never left the magazine. A stack of different kinds of sandwiches on a platter floated down downward the table along with different kinds of juice and soda, and a lot of cups. It was around 12 o’clock and none of the teens or kids had come down stairs yet. She was sure that they were awake, so she had prepared the lunch (with help from magic of course) for those who came down hungry. Her eyes lifted off the magazine as she heard a faint sound of footsteps. Appearing at the door was Legend wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He also carried two buckets in his hands, both filled up with water balloons.

“Whatcha up to Legend?” Amber asked raising her eyebrows, it wasn’t abnormal for any member of the Chosen family to be up to something…just sometimes maybe…a little dangerous.

“Nothing.” Legend replied putting down both buckets, grabbing a peanut butter sandwich and taking a bite. “Me and Lex had an idea! We’re gonna take everyone to the back so don’t worry!” Legend said putting the sandwich in his mouth, picking the buckets back up and walking back out.

Shrugging Amber turned back to her magazine. As long as the idea didn’t involve bugging a certain pet she was fine with it.

Upstairs Alexis walked back into the girl’s room after having a short talk with Tyson. She had to make sure that he would help with the idea her and Legend got. Remembering that she still hadn’t told her friend’s who Tyson was she put it at the back of her brain to tell them later.

“Common guys get upppppp! We’re gonna hand out at the back today. No swimming in the pool just yet but we have something awesome planned.” Alexis said gazing around the room. If this room was emptied in 10 minutes, she’d most definitely get Tyson’s air horn.

Exiting the room she walked across the hall and knocked on the boy’s door. “Backyard now. Unless you guys all want to be the victims of a really original and hilarious prank.” Alexis said poking her head in and then out. Perfect.

Sitting outside on the grass Tyson looked around. Today was the perfect day for what they had planned. The sun was shinning. There was no rain. And TK was running around the yard like a maniac. Someone would probably trip over him when they were doing the activity and that would make things all the more interesting. Spotting Legend coming out of the house with the two buckets and a sandwich he jumped up practically bouncing on his feet. “Today’s the perfect day Ly.” He said excitedly only to get a cold stair from his younger brother. “Gessh you need to chill out.” Tyson muttered. “Here lemme help you.” He said talking his wand out and casting a multiplying spell. Soon there were 10 more buckets filled with water balloons. He knew he could have done this before but it was just so fun seeing Legend actually working.

On hearing the familiar voice of Alexis, Valencia immediately sat up in bed then hopped out from under the sheets. Merlin's beard! It was already noon! The seventeen year old quickly got dressed, brushed her teeth, and quickly did something with her hair to make it presentable. Once finished, she slinked over to the boys' door and knocked a few times. No one answered. Chuckling lightly, she peeked her head in. "Dust, Jae, and everyone else still asleep, I'd listen to Lex. You know she doesn't like about pranks," she warned.

Skipping happily down the stairs, Vee immediately went for the backyard after saying a quick hello to Amber. Lex definitely had something planned and she wanted to be there when all of the action started.

Dusty squeezed his eyes a bit more shut than they were before when he heard his sister come in. Clearly, this boy was not a morning person, but he didn't want to be on the end of one of Lex's pranks. He was supposed to be her partner in crime, was he not? There was no way she'd be going against him. "Oi! Jae, get up then!" he said a bit loudly, throwing a pillow at the sleeping eight year old.

After getting himself together, the fifteen year old took the stairs by two as he made his way out into the backyard. "Mornin' Amber," he said quickly. once outside, he raised his eyebrows. "We're going to be getting a little wet today I see."

"Ah!" Jae awoke with a start as a pillow immediately made contact with his head. He rubbed his twilight blue eyes then sat up and began to get himself dressed. "C'mon Danny! Lex's got somethin' planned for t'day," he said excitedly, shaking his young companion lightly. After getting on his favorite shorts and rugby jersey, the little boy slid down the banister and landed on the floor like a cat. He chuckled at his own gracefulness then made his way into the kitchen.

"G'mornin'!" he greeted Amber before disappearing out into the backyard. His eyes went wide with what he say, then he punched the air. "Ledge! When didja come up with this?!" Yeah, he was really excited.

Nikita knew she was going to stay out of whatever the Chosen's had in mind. Especially after she saw what the little one was carrying. Balloons filled with water was definitely not her taste. The black cat emerged from her hiding spot under the couch and made her way into the more private and secure girls' bedroom.

Jared woke up with a start as a young girl poked her head in the room, basically forcing everyone to wake up. Jared wasn't usually the type to wake up at noon, it was usually more like one or two PM because he would usually get back to his apartment at like 4am the night previous. Jared merely rubbed his eyes and looked around and noticed that he was literally surrounded by little kids, well they werent little, they were just considerably younger than himself. Jared sighed to himself slightly, he really didn't care. He still considered himself a kid and didn't feel awkward in the midst of all of them, he was actually really good with kids. Jared smiled mischeviously as he spotted is little brother Curt asleep in the next bed over, his face planted in his pillow, he still looked to be fast asleep. Jared grabbed his pillow from his bed and silently walked over to Curt's bed. He waited for a second in pity before mercilessly beating his brother over the head with his pillow, "Wake up baby bro, time to eat!!!" he yelled, probably waking up all those in the room that were still asleep. Jared smirked slightly and walked back over to his bed and dressed up real fast before heading down to the kitchen. Once he got down there, he spotted Amber, the other adult amounst all of the kids and went to sit next her. "Sandwiches for lunch eh? Sounds great." he said with a grin, taking one for himself. "And really, if you want me to help you all of this stuff I would be more than happy to." he said with a warm smile, he of course meant house-keeping duties, making food, watching out to make sure all the kids didn't cause too much trouble. Just stuff that could be made easier using magic, which of course, was perfectly legal for him.

Curt was fast asleep, completely out like a rock having an extremely pleasant dream. He was flying through the air in the midst of a heated Quidditch match against Gryffindor, he was playing seeker and for a moment he was spectating on the rest of the game. He spotted Savannah and watched her as she belted a bludger right to the broom of Agie Brandywine, and right as that happened a tiny golden spec fluttered behind Savannah's head. Agie was disoriented, and this was Curt's chance to Strike, he drove, he speed up, he was so close to the snitch he could almost taste it then.....WHAAMMM!!! Something soft, yet solid had just hit him hard and umpleasantly over the head, and kept hitting him numerous times. Right then he realized where he was and who was beating him when he heard the voice of his attacker. "JAARREED!!" Curt yelled, as he reached for his wand put was dismayed to discover that it was packed somewhere in his bag. Good thing too, he probably would have tried to jynx his older brother at the time and would have gotten in huge trouble as a result. Curt sat up in his bed with a murderous stare as he watched his brother run out of the room. "This isn't over!" Curt yelled after him, getting out of bed and getting dressed. This definately wasn't how he planned on starting his day. Once Curt had finally finished getting dressed, he took in a deep breathe to help him relax and calm his nerves, it was summer, he just needed to remember that. With that in mind, Curt simply smiled to himself, the anger basically leaving him....one thing was for sure though, Jared WAS going to pay for that. He looked around the room to everyone else that was stirring before heading down to the kitchen as well, he spotted Jared over at the table sitting with that Amber girl, Curt simply gave him a death look before sitting down next to Rapunzel, "Mornin' Punz." Curt said with a groggy smile, grabbing himself a sandwich, taking a bite out of it. Curt looked at the two guys with the buckets before asking, "So yeah, what is going on?" he asked with a questioning grin.

Danny was already awake listening to people getting up and people coming in and out of the room. He heard Alexis threaten them with a prank, which made him get him up. Walking over to Benny's bed, Danny poked him to wake up.

Benny slid open his eyes and looked into his little brother's big brown ones. He couldnt help but chuckle at his innocent face and grabbed him around the middle. Lifting him off his feet he threw him onto his bed beside him. "Hey Dan-Dan." he said cheerfully ruffling his hair until it was all over the place.

Laughter erupted from the seven year old as Benny lifted him into the air. He hit the bed with a soft thud. A smile was spread wide on his face as he sat up. "Alexis just came in a few minutes ago. She said to get out or she was going to pranks us." he said, the smile still big on his face.

Watching as Dusty slowly get up and throw a pillow at Jae, Danny erupted in laughter again. He then watched as Jae rolled out of bed and began dressing. Maybe he should do that too.

Benny chuckled again at Danny's comment and lifted him into the air again. "Come on Dan. Lets get dressed." he said and walked over to their bags. He pulled out a pair of jeans and a regular navy blue tshirt. After he was done changing, he came back out and saw that Danny was dressed too. Running a hand through his hair, he was done getting ready.

He knew if his mom had been here, she would of not let Danny go anywhere with his messy hair. But looking at it now, Benny couldnt help but like it. His mom would never find out if his hair was messy for one day...

Looking over at Dusty, Benny saw that he had already left the room. "Come outside when you're ready, ok Dan-Dan?" he said and ruffled his sandy brown hair. He then made his way downstairs and outside. What he saw put a michievios grin on his face.

Danny nodded at Benny, then looked over at Jae. He followed after him and found himself outside, where Legend had water balloons waiting. Chuckling at Jae's excitment, he stood quietly, waiting for what was going to happen.

Sam was always the person to sleep in. Today wasnt going to change. But when she Alexis began yelling to get up. Sam rolled out of bed. She walked over to her book bag and took out a pair of jean shorts that reached her knees and a soccer t-shirt sporting her team. After running a brush through her hair and across her teeth, Sam made her way down stairs.

Finding her brothers there along with Vee and her brother/cousin, she wondered what Lexi was planning. It looked like it was going to be a wet day in deed. She snuck over to where Valenica was standing and said, "Do you know what Lexi is planning?"

Obie woke with a start as he heard somebody talk in the doorway of the boys room. When his eyes adjusted to the light, it was like the energizer bunny had woken up inside him. He threw off the covers and ran out of the room. Seeing that the door to the girls room was open, he just walked in.

Finding Lainie laying on a bed. He couldnt tell if she was awake, so he looked over at Savannah who was awake next to her. "Tia Vannah, Can I wake up Laih?" he asked, practically jumping on his feet. He couldnt wait to play with his favorite cousin.
