Hearing the doorbell ring, Punz turned to see who had arrived now. And she was pleasantly surprised to see none other than

"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiima!" Rapunzel gushed, waving at the older girl. "You silly HuffieMcPuffer, whatcha doin here?!" She beamed and waved at her friend, signaling her to come over towards the lawn where everyone was standing.

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.

Rapunzel laughed at Lima, partly surprised to see her looking....well...angry. Huh.

She hugged her friend back and grinned. Oh how she loved the name Pretzel. Best nickname in the world. "Um....well, I don't even know half these people, so, I'd say you're safe." She nodded and glanced around. "Did you have a uh, safe trip here?" Punz added curiously. Thus far, she had see Curt arrive by apparation; a couple people used Muggle transportation; and then some of them were just...there. Like they used portkeys or floo powder or something.....fascinating. Her dad would have been tickled to see so many young wizards in one place together, especially Italy.

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.

Ooooh, bad question. Rapunzel winced at Lima's mention of bad family relationships...and disownment. "I hear ya," she replied. "Remember that story I told you about my uh, father?" She raised an eyebrow and left it at that. How much of that story was true, the world may never know....

"I've never been to Italy, so I'm really looking forward to this." She grinned and bounced on her tippytoes. "Last summer I had an interesting time with some Slythies in London," Punz added mischieviously, "but I wouldn't do it again. Nuh uh."

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.

ooc: omfg wait! No one knows about the badger savs owns, right? forget that in my last post, lolz.

Kyler stared blankly at Lexi. How dare she and her threatening! "Shush, you." He kept the sentence short, taking first step inside the house casually, watching for any lurking orange fur blobs. "Any animal of any kind attacks me, I'll be first to leave this.. party." Kyler huffed, crossing arms and taking the empty spot in the middle of the room.

Seth grinned widely at the young girl. There was nothing better then front row seats in Kyler's animal murder. Literally, Kye never really ran from animals anymore, more like carryed A huge metal base ball bat on him, which was in the car, and beat the animal to death. But he was quite sure he'd never to that hear, knowing these animals where own by his close friends. "Thas' my kind of woman!" He chuckled deeply, forming A circle beside Kyekitty. "Aha, I never knew your friends where so threatening." He nodded, setting Tailynne back down on her feat. "And where's Vannah? VANNAH!"

"Seth, shut it! someone might think your some children stalker person," Chasler eyed kyler, as he choked out laughing and seth smacked him in the face. "No seriously! we already have A bad reputation from screaming, are neighbors even hate us! dont ruin it here too." Chase raised one brow, shuffling feet against the floor. Silly boys.

Tails grinned widely, turning side to side, listening to her older siblings. It was always funny watching them argue, and one always got hurt, most likely Seth or Torrie cause Chase was always kicking them in the head. Giggle. "Oh geeze, stop it you three. We're here to have fun, you know." She stifled another giggle with Her left hand, and turned around the room, taking glances of who was here and who she knew.

Kyler gave A crooked smile, and stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Aww, is por Chasie embarrassed of her older brothers?" Kyler raised one brow, rubbing the red cheek that had been hurting for the last three minutes. "I told you, Chasie, you didn't have to come if you didn't want to."

"DONT CALL ME CHASIE, KYLER!" He growled, furrowing both brows and crossed arms. "If I had that bat on me, it'd be all dented from how many times I hit your thick skull." Chase turned her back on him and sulked.

Kyler's grin vanished, only to be replased with A glare. Why did everyone have to threaten him? Time to change subject! Kyler glanced awkwardly around the room, eyes landing on one person. "LIMA-" Yet he was caught of, seeing that she was with some other girl, so he left her alone. And his eyes stopped yet on another girl named vannies, but she was with A larger group, and Kyler just sulked. He stood, hands still in his pockets, and stared aimlessy at the front door, waiting for some kind of miricle to come and kill his boredom. Ha, that'd be the day.

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.

"Uh yes.....that sorta explains my name origin," Rapunzel answered honestly, a slight grin tugging at the corner of her mouth.

And luckily, she was spared from answering the second question when Lima finally noticed her boyfriend had arrived. "Oh, so that's him!" Punz muttered aloud, glancing at the boy Lima had hugged. What was his name? Kyle? Lyle? Niles? Ryder? Something like that....maybe she would just wait until they were introduced. Wrong assumptions usually result in bad relationships anyways, as Rapunzel had learned that term.

Mat grinned at the other boy. "You got it dude!!" Giving him is special friendly nudge to welcome him, he couldn't help but glance at what he was holding. "What's rugby by the way?" He knew that he was probably going to look like a loof but he didn't care, he wanted to know what it really was so he could have fun playing too. Unless it was one of those boring games with no action at all.

Before even running, it seems that an angry girls who knew Legend by the sound of it was coming their way. It was probably the one that his friend call Cubs but the reaction that he got from calling her that way was pretty catastrophic. Glancing at her as she run away from them, Mat figured this was a usual behavior from girls. He was used to that with his sister anyway.

Giving the girl who she guess was Vannah a welcoming hug. "You can call me Mel. Melania is too official." Brushing lightly her hair with one of her hand, she wanted to be sure she knew the girl's name right. "I'm guessing you are Vannah, right?" Before been able to add anything else, something seems to have happens for the poor cute little Lainie. If she didn't contain herself, she would have hugged her but she wasn't sure she could so didn't move.

Feeling giggly but containing herself, Mel was wondering how did Ari, which she suspect was probably the contraction of the name Arianna, find out what she was thinking. Maybe it was probably a coincidence since she wasn't the only one that was believing in that theory. "I can't agree more with you. It's really easy to see that you have some inner strength." Not wanted to keep her psychological jibberish, she twirls her hair with the tips of one of her finger.

As Vannah came back toward them and mentioned someone, Mel was very curious to find out. What had she really forget whom seem very important?

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.

Rapunzel sat up in bed, blinking her green eyes and staring about the room. Whoa, was it huge! Naturally, she had completely forgotten where she was overnight...especially after intensely dreaming about owls and bludgers.

She hopped up from bed promptly and ignored the messiness of her sheets; a few pillows here and there never hurt anyone. First things first, Rapunzel remembered Archimedes and bounced over to his cage. He looked a little disgruntled, sitting there with his golden back to her. Punz tapped on the top of the cage and shoved three owl treats inside, plus an extra one because he looked so glum.

She dressed quickly in a light, faded pair of jeans and a bright orange Chudley Cannons T-Shirt. Her longggg blonde hair was looking tangley, so she simply braided it in one long strand and then skipped downstairs and outside.

Oh yeah, breakfast! Punz remembered once she was already out back. Oh well, I'll just eat a big lunch. Er....brunch.....she giggled to herself and stopped in her tracks.

"Hellllo," she said cheerfully, waving at the kid and older dude messing around with some buckets. "What's uh, going on today?" The notorious Rapunzel nosiness was back in action.

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.

Savannah wasn't much of a morning person but seeing as how she had been awake for awhile now, and was already dressed in capri's and a tanktop, flipflops sitting out by her bag suitable for todays activites, Savannah waited sitting on her bed criss cross. Brushing dark bangs from her ocean blue eyes and finished tying her hair up in a tight high ponytail.

Hearring someone re-enter the room the fifteen year old was pleased to see Kaitlynnh had changed into the white short overalls and striped white, blue and green shirt she had been handed. And Lainie in the skirt and multi-pink colored tights, and an equally pink shirt that read 'Weird sisters' above the old wizarding musical group's picture.

Both her sister and neice crawled up onto her bed, taking seats infront of her, Savannah brushed Laih's curls gently until she managed to get the tangles out, and put it up into a simple ponytail out of the childs way.

After her auntie had finished with her hair, Lainie assumed she was done with 'getting ready for the day' and crawled over to her aunts pillows, cuddling up with Casa (the stuffed dog) close. Her earth tone eyes fluttering in and out of view from tiredness.

"Pigtails," Kaitlynnh requested, handing Savannah two hairtyes, almost forgetting to add the "Please." in her rush of wanting to get down stairs, before the boys left her out of course.

Beaming happily to see the little boy awake, and excited by the looks of it, Vannah glanced down at the three year old. Finishing up with Katie's hair, "She may be awake, but go for it hun." She said, as Kaitlynnh abruptly bounced off the bed and went to leave. "Have Julbug get me Obie's bag, please."

Nodding as she left, Katie ran into Julian right before heading downstairs, and ordered him to help Anna.

Finally reaching the kitchen after running in then out, and back in only after she hadn't forgotten to put sandels on, the eight year old skipped over to the table "Heylooo!" She chirped at the older people, glancing cautiously behind herself after not spotting Lysander. Hesitating at first, Katie grabbed a glass and carefully poured herself a cup of juice, rather proud of herself for not spilling a drop this time.

Remembering something about water and today, Kaitlynnh's brown orbs traveled over to the redhead just before her feet. "Miss Amber?" She asked in a hushed, sweet voice, "Would it be alright if I got to push Legend in the pool? surprise him?"

Knowing to be dressed before he was told to be, Julian changed into cargo capri's and his favorite shirt, washed face and teeth, and clothes put away after before heading for the girls room.

Almost knocking, holding Obs backpack, Juls seemed abit afraid to come in at first when Vannah waved for him to just walk in. "Here,"

"Thankyou Juls, and good morning you two. Did you sleep well?" Vannah said, laying the brush she held by her knee and sorted through her nephews bag for a proper outfight he could get wet in. "Obs, can you please get changed into this?" She asked, holding out a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and didn't fail to very quickly brush his hair too. Even if he was a boy, didn't mean he needed to look like he just rolled out of bed. Clearly her brother didn't agree, as she handed him back the backpack and tried brushing the short locks of blonde, he tried moving further away. "Juuulbug, come here, just real quick and you can run free with your friends!" Vannah promised and had to giggle combing through his hair once and the boy was off.

With Obie's backpack back in the boys closet, Julian went quickly down stairs, uncertain if he was the last of the 'little' kids to come down. Maybe that was better? Legend was up to something. Then again, that probably meant Katie had something to worry about, more than the others.

"Morning," He spoke in his normal quiet tone, glancing around to see if anything obvious was up as he went to grab a sandwich, taking and swallowing a bite before saying, "Legend wouldn't appreciate that, Katie" matter-of-factly as he caught his fraternal twin's mock-innocent question.

Sarsa was not a morning person and in Summer. No way Huzzay! So when Alxis began yelling- Miss Corner groaned and got under covers again. "Do we really have to..?"Sarah murmmered. Two minutes more- or maybe five. yes. That seemed fair. Ye, VERY fair. Mummling something incoherent- Sarah dozed off again.

But it only seemed seconds before she had to get up- since Everything seemed to be moving now. Everyone was getting up- Up. Up and UP!

Fine- She'll get up- Get out of the cozy bed. Sweet Sweeet Bed. Drag herself out the bed to avoid furthr temptation to curl up into the blankets and sleeep until the sandman ran out of sand for her eyes.

Ok- Exaggerate much? Get your Butt moving, sleepy head!

She watched, through sleepy eyes, as Vannah helped her little sister and nices- Wow.. "I swear I feel like coming and asking you to make my pony tail,"she giggled before getting out a a pair of jeans and her Greeen 'Super Girl' T-shirt.

Getting out her P'Js and changing into a more suitable clothing for the perfect summer- AND finally being able to work through the curls- Sarah found herself all ready. Juast that her stomach grumbled something that sounded like: Hungry. Hungry. Hungry.

She looked over at Vannah. "You ready t o go?" Her stomach was.

Mat who was half asleep almost didn't hear when Alexis warned them to get up. He was so cosy that he almost forgot that he wasn't at home but as his friends house. Grumbling something under his breath, he took his time to dress up but something stop him. Almost putting his entire head inside his bag, he noticed that he had brought someone that he wasn't suppose too. Glancing around him to be sure nobody will saw him, he cover it with both of his hand and put it in his back inside is t-shirt. Hopefully none of them will know something was odd with him.

Making sure that nothing else had sneak inside his bag, he walks out of the room and went knock in the girl's door. He was sure his sister will be there. "YO!! Sleepy head!! Come down NOW!!"

Throwing the pillow toward where the noise was coming from. She quietly sit on her bed. She was ready to have some conversation with the girls but it seems that as she look around her, most of them were gone or they other were busy. At one point, she almost regret coming here feeling like a fifth wheel or something like that.

Walking towards Ari's bed, she nudge her in a friendly manner. "Hey Ari!! We better go down. I think it have to do about something they plan. I'm not sure." Not waiting for the girl to respond, she walks back toward her bed to get a ribbon. Taking her time to make herself a ponytail, she glanced back at Ari. "I better go downstair now if I don't want my crazy brother to barge in here."

Happy that his sister had finally decided to come out, he run down not waiting for her. He knew she could find her way and she was old enough so...... Not stopping as he reached the kitchen, he went straight in the backyard. Bouncing is way toward Legend, he was making sure nothing could came out of his t-shirt. Who knows what kind of reaction they would all do if they knew?

Vince was probably the only one left in the room but he didn't cared at this point. The only one he didn't mind talking to was Lexi and other than that he didn't thought he had business with any of them. Perhaps that Kyler guy which he still have something to settle down with. He still had a grudge against him with what had happens in Hogsmeade. No matter how long ago it was, he still couldn't forget that.

Still in the bed, he took a black shirt and a pair of black jeans, he was still thinking about how to go down without having to do any boring conversation. But then again it was Lexi's thing and he didn't want to upset her. Putting on his cap on his head, he sighed as he walks toward the door. This was probably the first summer where he would be close to that many peoples.

Making his way down without looking at anyone, he walks toward the nearest tree in the backyard and leans against it. He was going to watch them have their fun.

Mel who was still upstairs was quietly following the dark and strange guy. She had no idea who it was but something was making her curious about his identity and she was going to do anything to get that informations. Making her way toward her friend Lexi, she crosses her arms in front of her. "So!! What's the plan."

She had been having the most wonderful dream, roaming through the forest searching for something she had lost. She hadn't even heard anyone calling for her not until the loud bang woke her up, causing her to shoot up in bed, looking a bit dazed at where she was. Scratching her head she chuckled, knowing she was in Milan away from all the drama and frightened looks of her brother. He ad been terrified when she had told her mom all about her term, leaving important details out.

"Haha I'll be up in a minute, I just need to write something down. "she told Mel, loving the excitement she was feeling from the girl and knowing this was someone she could hang out with easily. She bent down beside her bed and took out her journal, sitting up and writing with her eagle feather quill. She was no longer nervous around it and for that she was thankful.

Yawning but feeling great she jumped out of bed and quickly showered and change d, knowing William would already be up and about. Chuckling again she placed her wand in her pocket, glad to have her magic back but sad she couldn't use it yet. One more year she thought with a sad sigh as she put her pink jazz hat on and walked down stairs not shocked to see everyone up and about yet. "Morning everyone, glorious day out no?" She asked a huge grin on her face.

William skipped out off the room he had been sleeping in a huge grin on his face as he crept down the stairs, his eyes twinkling with the look of uninterrupted sleep. The past week before the trip had been traumatic for him, well not him exactly but waking up to "no not again..." every night was getting annoying. "Morning all, has anyone seen Ginger?" he asked rubbing his eyes as he trudged into

At the sound of her name, the three year old ginger colored cat trotted into the room, meowing at the boy, wanting to be picked up.

"There you are." He muttered, knowing Ari would want her by her side all day long. Speaking of Ari... he thought as he heard her voice and walked up to stand beside her, "Here's Ginger." He muttered handing the cat over and wiping his hands on his jeans.

Ari turned at the sound of Williams' voice and nodded, "Thanks William." She replied, ruffling his already bed ridden hair before grinning and turning back to the large group, smiling at Mel before waving to Vince as he went outside. He had been so weird at school, though being turned into a monkey would do that to a guy. He was too mysterious though, but she liked mystery.

"So, what's the plan today? Please tell me it has nothing to do with animals." She chided chuckling to herself. She waved happily to Curt who she hadn't had the chance to chat with, missing him yesterday before looking at Vannah and Lexi, waiting.

She had been having he greatest dream. Seriously. And it was soooooo comfy here. She didn't remember ever being this comfy before. When she was suddenly and rudely awoken by the sound of other people awake. So not fair! she muttered to herself. And besides, why were there so many loud people around anyway? Seriously. It took her a minute to put it together that she wasn't at home, as she thought she was. She was at Lexi's. In Milan.

She sighed loudly.

So not fair, she repeated. She'd have to get up out of her cooomfy bed and then get dressed. And eat breakfast. She sighed again. But the prospect of breakfast was quite appealing - her stomach was starting to growl now from hunger. She hadn't eaten for a while.

She slowly got out of the bed and showered and then changed out of her PJs into a pair of faded jeans and a blue t-shirt. Then she brushed her hair.

She then went downstairs and joined the others, "morning everyone!" she said stifling a yawn.

Massie, quiet as always, was up reasonably early. Earlier, she knew, than her sister, who could easily sleep the day away. She got up and quietly went to get dressed, hoping not to wake up anyone. She changed into jeans and a green t-shirt, with a thin green headband in her hair to match. When she got back to the room, to pass the time, Mass reached down onto the floor and picked up the book she had been reading yesterday, flipping open to the page she had stuck her bookmark in.

A few minutes later, or so it seemed, the eleven year-old heard Alexis tell everyone to get dressed and come down stairs, so she did just that. On her way to the backyard, Massie stopped in the kitchen and got a sandwich. ”G’afternoon,” she said to everyone in the kitchen, pausing to give Katie a hug then take a small bite of her sandwich.

Mackayla got up not too long before Alicia, and saw that most of the people had already filed out of the room. She rose from the soft bed and into the bathroom, where she brushed her teeth, and put her hair into two braids. She changed into faded jean shorts and a purple tank top which she layered over a white short sleeved t-shirt.

She skipped down the stairs and into the kitchen, just catching what Kaitlynnh said about pushing Legend into the pool. Kay laughed at that and waved to everyone, then continued to skip, this time towards her best friend. ”You know, Katie, I’m with Julian on this one. I don’t think Legend’ll be all super duper happy if you push him in the pool. But, it would be pretty funny…” The eight year-old shrugged, and grinned brightly.


Alicia groaned ever so quietly as she heard a familiar voice –Alexis’s- tell everyone to get up. This bed was to comfortable to get up now, but when she heard the others getting up, the sixteen year-old decided that she might as well do the same. She opened one brown eye and looked around before realizing that both Massie and Mackayla were either already downstairs, or had been abducted by aliens in their sleep. Lic was betting on the first.

Ten minutes later- her teeth brushed, wearing her favorite black Adidas shorts and a red tank top, red flip flops on, and her dark hair pulled back in a high ponytail- she made her way downstairs. Lic began to say ‘good morning’ to those in the kitch, and then quickly changed her mind in mid-word when she saw the time and went with ‘good afternoon.’

When she finally made her way to the backyard, Alicia walked towards Vee and Sammy. ”Hey you two,” she said with a grin, then looked towards Legend and the buckets, and raised her brows. ”Do either of you know what’s up what this awesome activity is supposed to be?” Her grin was now wary, but she was still excited.

Sam watched as one by one people began exciting the house. She was really begining to wonder what Alexis was planning. Luckily she was wearing a dark shade t-shirt. By the looks of the bucket full of waterballons, they were going to be getting wet. Awesome. It was a hot day.

As Lic walked over to her and Vannah, she chuckled and shook her head. "I have no idea. Maybe she is going to throw waterballoons at the last person to walk out the door." she said. She was only joking, but Sam knew Alexis well enough that could be in fact what she was planning. But then again, she could be planning something totally diffrent.

Sam smiled at Mel as she walked over and asked what the plan was. "I dont know about Lex's plan, but my plan is to not get hit by those waterballoons." she chuckled.

Benny couldnt help but laugh at Sam's comment. This made him think. He looked over at Dusty. They should so bomb the girls with the balloons! Ah but he needed to wait to see what Alexis was going to do. With his luck, she had the same plan but was doing the opposite. The girls bombing the guys.

Walking closer to Dusty, he whispereed in his ear, "Hey, we so need to get some of those balloons and get Ve and Sammy." This was going to be good. He already knew it.

Obie smiled widely at his aunt Savannah and took the clothes she held in her hand. He walked around behind the bed, which concealed his whole body, and changed out of his pjs. He then picked up his pjs from the ground and set the sloppily onto his backpack. Sitting down on the soft carpet, he began slowly putting on his socks. He was usally fast and wanted to be done with everything quick, but he had learned that if he did that he would never get his socks on. Socks have slowly become his worst nightmare. After putting both shoes on the right feet, he strapped the velcro strap into place and stood up.

"Laih Laih! Wake up! Its time to run!" he said excitedly. There was rarely a time when the five year old was not excited. He waited until he saw her earthtoned eyes open, before jumping up and down. "Come on Laih! Get on my back!" he said. Bending down, he let the two year old climb on before exciting the room. Holding on tightly to Lainie's leg and the other hand holding onto the banister of the staitcase, he made it down without falling, or dropping his cousin.

Then with a burst of speed (which would of been a lot faster if he wasnt being careful on account of Lainie on is back) he rushed outside. "Wheeeeeeee!" the little boy squealed.

Danny turned as the door opened again and two little ones came running out. It felt nice to not be the youngest here. He was usually always the youngest. He watched as Obie ran with Lainie on his back. Hoping he didnt drop her, he turned to Legend. "What are all the water balloons for, Leg?" he asked quietly.

Kaitlynnh rolled her eyes, sighing. Had she asked if Legend would like it? Putting on a bright smile, hands crossed behind her back in an innocent manner Katie shuffled her feet. "But two or three summers ago we did talk about it, and Legend asked me to push him in! I was askin though cause Lexis said no pool yet.." The young girl trailed off, hugging Madison back gladly.

Pools of chocolate brown slowly turned back to Amber, hopefilled. Funny indeed, She thought, grinning Katie took another sip and set her juice down on the table infront of her, never losing the innocent expression she held for one moment, and hugged her best friend. "Good afternoon KayKay!"

Watching Obie run through (luckily without hitting anything or anyone) with Lainie clinging to his back, and outside, Julian raised an eyebrow. "Vanna's coming" He murmured, knowing fully well he was right; his sister wouldn't let the two go so far without her coming after. Waving a hello to William for the lack of voice, as the boy finished his sandwich, Julian swallowed.

"Thanks Kayla," He added. Heading towards the backdoor, Juls stopped and waited for the other three (his sister, Mackaya, and William) "Should we go?" He asked, motion towards the backyard before disappearing out of the kitchen to join Legend, Matias and Danny.

Clinging to her cousin for dear life, Lainie's little eyes were shut tight, gripping Casa until her little knuckles turned white; she wasn't about to drop the stuffed Husky. "EEEP?" She squeaked, unsurely, peeking an eye open as afew golden curls whipped her face. Goodness, Obie had more energy than she had known. As long as he didn't drop her.. "What awe we dowing?" Laih asked, loudly from were she was being carried about by Obs. Too afraid to let go and motion to one of the many buckets.

Savannah smiled, watching the rest of the girls aside from herself and Sarah, whom waited for her, pile out of the room. "Well I wouldn't object or anything," Vannah spoke amusedly through laughter, glancing up at Sarah as Obie took Lainie and was off, again..

How was she gonna keep up with them exactily? Vannah wasn't too concerned, at all, to be honest. "Yup I'm ready," Bouncing up from her bed, and abruptly catching herself from tripping right off the bat, the fifteen year old followed after the young ones alongside her friend. "Careful Obie, Lainie! I don't want to owl either of your mother's because we had an accident," She reminded, sighing thankfully as one of the younger boys outside opened the door just intime.

"Don't want to be owling my dad because of it either," Vannah mumbled to herself, motioning to the platter of sandwiches since she was almost sure she'd heard Sarah's stomach growl upstairs. "Buon pomeriggio; we should probably head outside" She announced, knowing Lexi could probably use some help dragging everyone out there. Quickly pouring herself a small cup of soda, that she left on the table for later after taking afew drinks from it.

Just as she moved to head outside, out of the corner of her eye Savannah saw something small, and hairy, crawling into the kitchen. Automatically she went to pick him up, out of harms way. "Rabid, glad to see your adjusting." She joked, carrying the Badger Cub along outside and just happened to let his cold black nose graze the back of Alexis' neck, "Okay, what's the plan?"
