Renny: I sort of got this idea from a fic called . . . uhhh . . . Things Not To Do With The Gatekeepers? Something along those lines. It has numbers and rules, anyway. This guide thing is based off that anyway.

Matt: Most of these are crack, but there are several serious ones- well, depending on how your interpretation of serious is, anyway.

Renny: Aww I wanted to say that! Meh nevermind, do the disclaimer.

Matt: Renny doesn't own the Power of Five.

Renny: On with the show!

OOOOOO

1- Never let any of them play Slenderman

Matt

"YOU BROKE THE FUCKING COMPUTER."

"Matt what the hell!"

"I said sorry like ten times!"

"That's not the point."

"He came out of nowhere, it freaked me out!"

"Clearly."

Pedro

"MÁTALO CON FUEGO!"

"Uh . . . there isn't any fire in the game, Pedro."

" . . . Why."

"That's a good question, actually. Why is there no fire? Why don't we even have a weapon?"

"I dunno, ask the dude who made it."

Scott

"Damn, he's good at this."

"Five pages already, dude, you're way better than Matt!"

"Shut up, Scarlett!"

"There's another page! Wooo!"

"Hey I might actually win this- oh wait, fuck, no. I died."

"How can you be so fucking calm."

"We don't all break computers when we get freaked out."

Scarlett

Sizzle.

" . . ."

" . . ."

"Matt, your reaction is officially not the worst."

"Thanks. I think."

"Well FUCK YOU!"

Jamie

"Shit gets real intense when you get like four pages in."

"Why is he referencing 11 Drunk Guys?"

"I don't know."

" . . ."

" . . . Shit, he's actually good at this- Scott, are you giving him directions?"

"No."

"There's no page, THERE'S NO FUCKING PAGE, I can't find a page!"

"Wait what-"

"I just saw Slenderman and there's no page I'm so screwed!"

"No you're no- AAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAH-"

"AAAAAAHAHAAAA!"

2- Or start a YouTube account and post the video online

"You're damn lucky most people think Matt and Scarlett's powers are Photoshopped or something!" Richard snapped.

The two kids in question shrank away from the glares they recieved. It wasn't exactly their fault that their powers were destructive.

"Sorry." Scarlett and Matt muttered.

"And what the hell were you doing playing Slenderman anyway? That game's enough to give anyone nightmares." Richard said.

" . . . We saw videos online and wanted to do the same thing." It was Scott who spoke this time.

Richard sighed and put his head in his hands. "Just . . . don't post anymore videos."

Three days later he found that the YouTube account called Gatekeepers had a new video of Matt blowing up the cooker.

Without touching it.

3- Make sure, before breakfast every morning, to find who took Pedro's Spanish-English dictionary this time

Richard glared at the four Gatekeepers.

They glared back.

" . . . Who took it this time?" the man eventually asked.

Matt pointed at Scott, Jamie pointed at Matt, Scarlett pointed at Jamie, and Scott pointed at Matt.

Richard raised an eyebrow at Matt.

" . . . Oh my god, fine." Matt said. He pulled the dictionary out of his pocket and gave it to Richard.

4- Give the dictionary back to Pedro, ignore Scott and/or Jamie if they try to mind control you into hiding it again

Hide it . . .

Hide it . . .

Hide it-

"Shut up, Jamie."

HIDE IT.

"Jamie stop it."

Hiiiideee iiiitttt . . .

"Don't even start, Scott."

5- When Matt asks for another pet, tell him NO as many times as you can, even if he busts out the 'Puppy-eyed Matt' look (it's very hard to resist and can only be resisted with practise)

"Pleeaase?" Matt begged.

"No means no, Matt."

"But-"

"No."

"Please-"

"We already have two cats, we don't need another one!" Richard snapped.

"BUT THIS KITTEN IS CALLING TO ME."

"I couldn't care less if it was doing the fucking macarena, no!"

Matt looked at him. Richard folded his arms.

On the other side of the living room, the other four Gatekeepers were once again in awe of Richard's ability to resist Matt's Puppy-eyed look. Even Scott hadn't managed that yet.

6- If Scarlett's ever pissed off, for whatever reason, keep her away from any and all electrical appliances

"That twat I'll fucking rip his face off with a damn cyclone or something I swear to god-"

Richard carefully started pulling Scarlett into the garden.

7- Tell the twins to stop practising their telepathy on Pedro

Richard came across Scott and Jamie sitting on the sofa with their eyes closed. He stared for a grand total of one second before he smacked both of them on the head.

"OWWW what was that for!?" Jamie yelled.

"Pedro's currently doing the chicken dance in the bathroom. While Matt's using the bath." Richard told them. "He's freaking out. Stop it."

"Ruin our fun why don't you." Scott muttered.

8- And Matt, because things will blow up if they scare or piss him off

"VOICES."

Richard accidently flung his coffee into the air.

Everyone- sans Scott and Jamie, who smirked- gaped at Matt in confusion.

"I hear voices!" Matt cried, gripping his head. "So many voices . . . they won't shut up!"

Richard's attention turned to the twins, who shrugged.

"We're not doing anything." they said.

And then the fridge blew up.

"Will you two stop putting voices in his head!" Richard bellowed, half an hour later.

"Sorry we're not sorry."

9- Never play a card game with the twins

"Fives?" Jamie asked.

Pedro and Richard- who had two and one five respectively- put their cards on the table reluctantly. Jamie grinned and snatched them up.

"Twos?" Scott asked a few minutes later.

Scarlett and Pedro put down their cards. Pedro, at this point, had no cards left and wasn't looking too happy.

Matt had lost ages ago, and had resorted to watching everyone lose to the twins.

10- Never play Scarlett's version of Twister

Let it be said that Richard would never, ever, take Jamie's advice again.

Scarlett had been sad that no one would play Twister with her, so Jamie had suggested that Richard have a go at it.

Looking back, it had probably been a bad sign when Matt and Pedro adopted equally terrified looks, and Scott had started smirking.

"Hold still, I can't hit you when you're running!" Scarlett shouted.

"YOU ACTUALLY EXPECT ME TO STOP AND WAIT FOR THE TWISTER TO CATCH UP?" Richard screeched.

OOOOOO

Renny: So basically there's gonna be ten of each in a single chapter, and there's gonna be fifty rules in total. But if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to speak up, cus I'm all for making more rules!

Matt: Oh god.

Renny: Shush you. Read and review!
