"Adalina! Wake up you pig!" said Ariele loudly, thumping on Adalina's sleeping form with a pillow.
Adalina rolled away from Ariele's reach, groaning loudly.
"Lina, wake up!"
"Don't wanna," mumbled Adalina sleepily into her pillow.
A minute later, Heather appeared at the door.
"Adalina Mary Shepard, if you do not get your ass out of this bedroom in three seconds, I can assure you that when you wake up, your precious Martin guitar will be in the fireplace." Said Heather sternly.
Adalina sat bolt upright and walked robotically out of the room, ignoring her mother's smirk. They were getting ready to go back to Washington today, after collecting the rest of their clothes. Their flight was leaving in another three hours, and it was a one and a half hour drive to the airport, so they were running out of time.
"Ariele! What are you doing in there? It's been thirty minutes!" shouted Lina from outside the bathroom.
"Just wait a minute!"
Heather rolled her eyes and sat down in front of her make up mirror, grumbling about unprepared teenagers. She was just putting on lipstick when Ariele shouted, "Lina! Give me back my Wonderstruck perfume!"
Heather sighed and banged her head on the makeup table.

"Jade, are you okay?" called Amelia, standing outside her sister's bedroom.
She had gotten up an hour earlier just to get ready for their flight. They were Heather and the twins soon, and Jade was still changing.
"Yes, why do you ask?" shouted Jade through the bedroom.
"Well then, hurry the hell up." Said Amelia, ignoring Jade's question. "Heather's just texted me. They are leaving the house already."
Jade grumbled and walked out of the room.
"She's always late, Amelia. I don't know why you bother to wake up early."
"Well, Jenny helped me put a GPS tracker on her phone two weeks ago, before we left. She's leaving her house now." Said Amelia, studying the map on her phone.
Jade took her phone out of her pocket and narrowed her eyes at Amelia. She studied her phone carefully.
"Don't worry, we didn't bug your phone." Assured Amelia. Jade looked relieved.
They walked to the kitchen together, Amelia behind Jade. Amelia poured two glasses of wine for each of them, and handed one to Jade.
"Since you always forget your phone when you come back from your one night stands, we thought it would be unreliable if we bugged your phone." Said Amelia calmly. "You never did seem to forget your bra or panties, so we bugged all your underwear."
Amelia smirked as Jade coughed and spluttered.

"Where the hell are they?" said Heather impatiently, crossing her arms and tapping her foot. "They're fifteen minutes late."
"Well, sorry Heather, but your sister decided she was going to be an asshole today and take her time getting ready." Said Amelia, a handbag in one hand and dragging her luggage with the other. Jade was behind her, walking with her nose in the air.
Her eyes were covered by a pair of large sunglasses and she was strutting around behind Amelia, and Amelia threw her hands in the air as if she had given up.
"I'm actually ashamed to call her my sister." Whispered Amelia, as Jade walked towards them.
Heather rolled her eyes and the twins smirked.
"I'm not sure I remember a time when I wasn't ashamed to call her my sister," the two sisters looked at each other and shared a look of understanding.
The twins laughed quietly behind them, knowing that the show wouldn't be over anytime soon.

A couple was lazily laying in bed, their arms resting comfortably around each other. Their faces were buried in one another's necks.
"Jen," said the man, whispering in the woman's ear. "We're supposed to pick your sisters up from the airport today."
She groaned and turned over.
"They're all grown-ups. They can find their way here themselves." She mumbled, hugging her pillow.
"Jenny, you promised them," said Jethro softly, smiling. He was slightly amused at Jenny.
"Not now. I'm enjoying having the house all to myself." Said Jenny sleepily. "Don't wake me up for another five years, Jethro."
He smiled, deciding that he would let her sleep for another fifteen minutes while he made breakfast and got ready.
He took a shower and made Jenny's favourite breakfast – bacon with cheesy scrambled eggs with chocolate milk. When Jenny appeared fifteen minutes later, rubbing her eyes, she immediately went to the kitchen.
"Jethro, you're a life saver." Said Jenny gratefully, hugging him before chugging a glass of chocolate milk. "Noemi's coming in at around 11 o'clock, so we don't have to get lunch outside."
He nodded, placing a plate of bacon and eggs in front of her. She began eating and he sat down opposite her with his own plate.
"What time are they coming in?" asked Jethro, his mouth full of egg.
"Around 8.30." she said. "I should probably warn you, Jethro. My family is crazy."
"I've met them before, Jen."
"Yeah, but you haven't lived with them." Said Jenny. "They're going to get all up in your business and gossip like there's no tomorrow." She paused, then added, "Actually, that's only Jade. But one is enough. Stay clear of her, I'm sure you'll be fine."
"Jade seems to know that I won't sleep with her," said Jethro nonchalantly.
"Jethro, listen to me." She said impatiently. "My sisters – they're from Crazyland. They'll drive you absolutely insane, and they're living with us till Lina and Ariele get through their first year in Washington Arts. They're not even sure if they'll get in WA. Their audition is in five months, they get their letters a month after that, and they start school in September 1st. Do you know how long that is alone? That's almost nine months. And, on top of them, Aunt Betty comes to visit on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Do you know how many aspirin tablets I have to take with Aunt Betty around, alone? Plus my sister and the twins, you can practically classify me as a drug store."
"Jenny, you're making your family sound as though they just came out of an asylum." Said Jethro, smirking a little.
Jenny sighed.
"It seems as though you do not understand the severity of their madness." She said dramatically. "You shall be unprepared for the likelihood of their craziness occurring about an hour from now. And when it hits you like a bombshell, I shall say 'I told you so'."
Jethro smiled, putting his plate in the dishwasher and going behind Jenny. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed soft kisses to her neck and ear.
"Calm down, Jen." He whispered, sucking on her earlobe. She moaned and closed her eyes. "Everything'll be okay."
She sighed and relaxed in his arms.
"Okay."
"Good." He said. "Now, go get changed. Your sisters land in about 50 minutes from now."

The five redheads were sitting comfortably, flipping casually through magazines and listening to music. The three sisters sat next to each other in the three-seater lane, while the twins took the seats closer to the window.
"Hey Heather?" asked Jade, turning to her sister.
"Mmhmm?" said Heather, still reading an article.
"Do you think they're still together?"
"Who's still together?"
"The kids from The Cosby Show." Said Jade sarcastically. Heather shot her a look, "Jenny and Gibbs, you moron."
Amelia's ears perked up at the sound of her favourite sister's name.
"Why wouldn't they still be together?" asked Amelia. Jade sighed as Amelia began another lecture. "How many times do I have to tell you not to meddle in their affairs? You'd think after Katherine you'd know that they weren't going to break up."
"For God's sake, Amelia, I was just asking." Said Jade defensively. "Wasn't I, Heather?"
Heather sighed and put down the magazine she was reading.
"I think that Amelia is right." Said Heather. Like a child, Amelia stuck her tongue out at Jade while Jade scowled darkly. "You should know by now that Jenny will not tolerate us talking about her relationship, Jade."
Jade rolled her eyes.
"But," said Heather, turning to Amelia. "You need to calm down, Amelia. You always sound like you're trying to eat Jade's head off."
Now, Jade was the one who stuck her tongue out while Amelia scowled. Heather shook her head.
"It's so sad. Our family is so sad." Sighed Heather. "No one is acting like proper, matured adult."

"I bet you a month's worth of coffee that at least one conversation they had on that plane was about us." Said Jenny confidently.
"C'mon, Jen." Jethro stuck his bottom lip out in an exaggerated pout."That's not fair. You know your sisters."
"That's exactly why I wanted to bet with you."
They had arrived at the airport a few minutes earlier, and upon discovery that Jenny's sisters' flight would be delayed, they had decided to pass time by discussing how life would be like with her sisters and nieces around.
"We won't be able to have sex in my house anymore, Jethro." Said Jenny
"We can do that at my place," smirked Jethro, thinking about the last time thay made love. Jenny punched him in the shoulder.
"STOP thinking about last night." Said Jenny, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, that's not the point. We won't have anymore privacy."
He shrugged.
"Doesn't matter." He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. "We can do it in front of them."
She smirked.

"That flight was horrible." Complained Jade.
"I thought it was okay," said Ariele, shrugging. "The food was nice. My lasagna was cheesy."
"Of course, you only cared about the food." Said Lina, rolling her eyes.
"Jade didn't like it because all the flight attendants were women." Said Amelia.
Jade glared at Amelia while the twins snickered behind them. Just as Jade was about to retort, Heather stepped in.
"Okay, stop it. I think it's more polite to start a fight once we're out of the public eye and inside Jenny's house." She said, looking around. "Speaking of Jenny, where is that little python?"
They walked around some more until they found Jenny and Jethro, walking out of a restaurant. They waved them over, and gave each a hug before just looking at each other.
"Well, you guys look cosy." Said Jenny, grinning. "How was the flight?"
"Jade was upset because all the male passengers were married and the flight attendants were female," teased Amelia, smilling evilly.
"Haha. Very funny." Jade rolled her eyes, as Jenny laughed quietly. Jade's eyes turned to Jethro, and she smiled.
"Gibbs," she said slowly, smiling. "Have you been good?"
Jenny raised an eyebrow at Jethro. Jethro cleverly did not answer, instead he just laughed and wrapped his arms around Jenny's waist. Jade smirked. It was clear that she had made him uncomfortable.
As they walked to Jethro's and Melvin's car, Jenny smirked and whispered in Jethro's ear.
"Let the fun begin."
I really, really, REALLY hope that you guys like this story, because I'm not too sure about it. :/
