Chapter One – Something's Wrong

"Tom, you're putting in too much flour again"

Tom Fletcher growled in frustration as he dumped the cup of flour back into the bag. He looked up at Riley Jackson, who smiled back at him.

"Can you explain to me why you're not he one that's making breakfast if you're the best cook in the house?" Tom asked as he brushed his hair out of his face.

"Thanks for the compliment" Riley replied and folded her arms comfortably. "But you guys need to know how to cook for yourselves, just in case I'm not here to fill your empty stomach."

"Hey guys" Harry Judd said cheerfully as he walked into the kitchen. "What, breakfast's not ready yet?"

"No, I'm trying to get Tom to make it this time." Riley replied.

"Are you trying to kill us?" Harry asked without blinking. "Seriously, this one time he tried to make us some sort of fish thing for dinner. And after Dougie, Danny, and I ate it, we were puking all night long."

"I told you before; I thought that the bad smell was coming from the man that was selling them." Tom said as he rolled his eyes.

"You know what; it may not be a good idea to make Tom cook. But I'm still going to teach all of you eventually. But I'll cook breakfast." Riley said slowly taking the flour away from Tom, who made a hurt face and laughed.

Suddenly there was a shout and scream and Riley's brothers, Patrick, Noah, and Sydney ran into the kitchen. Sydney climbed up onto Tom's back and wrapped his arms around Tom's neck. Tom started to make choking noises as he tried to pull Sydney's small arms from around his neck, and Harry was having trouble holding Patrick and Noah back by their t-shirt collars. Attracted by all of the noise, Rhuben Jackson, Riley's twin, and Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter hurried into the kitchen. The two bands, McFly and the DarkElements, started to shout and scream at each other, trying to figure out what was going wrong.

"HEY"

They turned and saw McFly's manager, Jake Hardin standing behind them with his hands on his hips, shaking his head. "What's going on?" he asked, his blue eyes twinkling with amusement.

"We were playing Lion King" Noah replied innocently.

"Yeah," Patrick jumped in. "Noah and I are the wildebeests, and Sydney was young Simba. We were going along with the movie."

"So what you were trying to do was make it seem like you were going to trample Syd?" Riley asked.

"Pretty much," Noah shrugged. "But we were just playing."

"Syd, let go of Tom's neck" Rhuben said, turning to the older boy, who was still making choking sounds. Sydney smiled.

"Sorry Tom" he apologized and let go and dropped to the floor. He took a step and fell to his knees. A confused look crossed his face as he tried to get to his feet, but fell again.

"What's wrong Syd?" Danny asked in a concerned tone.

"I can't feel my legs" Sydney muttered in reply and turned to his siblings, who had horrified looks on their faces. "I can't feel my legs. Why can't I feel my legs?"

A/N: I know the first chapter was short, but I did that on purpose. So, I got the idea of making a sequel to 'Fight or Flight' because I realized that I didn't go into detail about the Jacksons' life is after their father got put into jail. This story is going to be more dramatic. But if you like all of our other Just My Luck/McFly stories, then you'll like this one.
