Another chapter of randomness! This one is about the one thing we all hate as kids. Mondays! I added another one of my O.C's Andre in this one too, I might add more of my O.C's in these stories later but not yet.


The alarm clock went off just when Shade was dreaming about Marina. "Ahh!" He gasped startled by the loud alarm. Chinook fell off his bed, Todd hid his head under his pillow. "No! No! Not yet! Please let it be dream!" He pleaded, not liking the alarm. Orestes banged his head when he jumped. "Ouch!" He rubbed his head. "Uggh." He groaned. Shade slammed the alarm clock. Almost breaking it. At least it turned off. It said 7:00 AM. Time to get ready for school. "Its monday." Shade muttered, as he climbed out of his bed. What he didn't like about his bunk bed with Chinook was, he always had to sleep on the bottom bunk and Chinook taunted him about it all the time. Todd and Orestes didn't have to have bunk beds, their beds fit the room easily but there wasn't enough beds for four beds, so Chinook and Shade were stuck with sharing a bunk bed. Marina and Breeze shared a room down the hall, and Magnolia and Andre had their own rooms, which were the last two rooms in the hallway.

"I'm going to go brush my teeth." Said Shade as he opened the door and left the room. Shade hated school. He was bullied because of his size, and was often pushed around. All though Chinook teased him about the same thing at home, he protected him at school. Orestes and Marina were in the same grade as Shade, 7nth. Chinook, Todd and Breeze were in 8th, and Magnolia and Andre weren't even in middle school anymore. They were juniors in high school. Maybe thats why they got to have their own rooms.

Orestes climbed out of his bed and started fixing his feathers. "I hate mondays." He said with a sigh. Todd scrambled out of his bed. "Chinook, did you finish your math homework for Mr. Franks class?" He asked. Chinook gasped. "No, I forgot!" He quickly climbed down the latter and grabbed his backpack. Searching through the papers until he found his homework. "Shoot! I'll never finish this on time!" He cried. "Don't worry, we don't have math until third period. Maybe you can finish it then." Said Todd. Chinook looked horrified. "I have Science first period and P.E the next!" He said hopelessly. "Well..Maybe you can finish it during breakfast." Said Orestes. Chinook snorted.

"Yeah right, and get syrup all over it! Uggh! Why can't Frieda, Ariel, my dad, Bathsheba and the others just homeschool us?"

"You don't even like Bathsheba."

"Of course I don't, no one does. The only one who does is Maggie, and she's her niece!"

"Maybe thats why we'r not home schooled, because all your going to do is argue with Bathsheba."

"Maybe, but I'd win!"

"Why? Because your in the 8th grade?"

"No because I'm young and handsome and Bathsheba's an old coot!"

Suddenly, Ariel's voice came. "Boys! Your breakfast is getting cold!" The thought of breakfast got the boys moving faster. "Coming Mother!" Shade called from the bathroom.

Downstairs was more calmer then upstairs was. Mercury and Ariel were busy making pancakes. Zephyr was drinking coffee, Frieda was smearing butter on her pancake, Bathsheba was eating her breakfast and Scirocco was reading the newspaper. Eyeing an article about a man being found dead. He didn't see Goth or Throbb come inside the dinning room, so when Goth's finger landed on the article, he jumped. "I did that." Said Goth sarcastically. He laughed at Scirocco's expression. "Not funny." Said the greenwing. Frieda glanced at the cannibal. "Goth, please behave yourself." She said. "Make me." Said Goth, looking amused. Ariel looked over her shoulder, looking for Shade. "Where are those boys?" She asked. "Oh you know, boys just being boys." Said Mercury.

Goth smiled. Thinking of an idea. "I know how to get them moving." He looked at Bathsheba. "Bathsheba, you and Throbb yell at them." He said. Throbb clapped, happy for something to do. Bathsheba sighed, not liking having to abandon her breakfast. But the two went over to the stairs anyway. "Shade, Chinook, Orestes, Todd! If you guys don't hurry up, I'll eat your breakfast!" Bathsheba threatened. Throbb laughed. "And then I will eat you!" He added. They then went back into the dinning room. Goth took some whip cream and smeared a handful of it on Bathsheba's plate. "Thank you Bathygirl." He said tauntingly. He called her that whenever he was taunting her. He liked it because he knew no one else would call her that. Bathsheba rolled her eyes. She hated that nickname. "Stop calling me that." She retorted, but she enjoyed her pancakes with whip cream. Throbb looked pleadingly at Goth. "Goth, can I have whip cream too? Please?" He asked, making the most cutest face he could. Goth grind evilly. "Sorry, Throbb. Its all gone." He said, laughing. Throbb looked hurt. "Ooohh." He moaned, looking at his pancakes unhappily. Bathsheba gave him a soft look. "Here Throbb." She took half of her whip cream and put it on Throbb's plate. Throbb beamed. "Yay!" He then wrapped his arms around the shorter, elderly female and hugged her tightly. "Thank you Bathy!" He squealed. Bathsheba gasped for breath. Throbb was squeezing the air out of her lungs! "Throbb!..Cant..Breathe!" She choked. Throbb realized what he was doing and let go of her. "Sorry Bathy." He said.

Shade and Chinook half ran, half fell down the stairs as they came down. Todd and Orestes hurried after them. Breeze and Marina were right behind them. "We'r here! We'r down!" Breathed Chinook. "Finally." Said Brutus, who had been cutting his pancakes the hole time. Zephyr looked up from his coffee mug. "Time is only an enemy when your not patient." He said. "Whatever." Said Brutus. Orestes sat next to his father. Shade took a seat at the table and started nibbling into his breakfast. Magnolia and Andre came down then. While Magnolia's hair was brushed and pulled back into a gorgeous pony tale, Andre's green hair was wild and out of place. They were total opposites.

"Lost your hair brush, Andre?" Asked Scirocco, giggling softly at his son's hair due. Andre sighed. "No, I just did something weird with the hair blower." he said, trying to brush out his fluffily hair due. Magnolia walked over to Bathsheba. "Morning, Auntie." She said, sitting next to her aunt. Bathsheba took the bangs out of her niece's eyes. "I told you you should wear your bangs back, Magnolia. You look nice with your face showing." Magnolia giggled at her aunt. "Ok, then I want to see you with your hair back too." She teased. The shorter female gave her a look. "Nice try, Magnolia." She said.

Chinook looked over his homework. "Guys, what is 2 x 2?" He asked. "4." Said Goth. Chinook looked at the cannibal, then back at his paper.

"2 x 1?"

"2."

"6 x 2?"

"12."

"Uhh, 5 x 3?"

"15."

"10 x 10?"

"100."

"12 x 12?"

"144."

"11 x 11?"

"132."

"9 x 4?"

"36."

"9 x 12?"

"108."

Chinook quickly wrote the last answer. "You know math?" Shade asked Goth, surprised. Goth shrugged. "Being a prince didn't save me from an education, I still had to go to school." He said. Chinook smiled. "Then YOU get to help me with my math homework from now on!" He beamed. Goth rolled his eyes. "As long as you don't ask me to help you with your other homework. Math was the only thing I got A's on." He said. "Thats why I have Todd." Said Chinook.

Marina looked at the clock as she swallowed her breakfast. "Guys we have to get to the bus stop." She jumped off her chair and scrambled for her notebook. Breeze gasped. "We have to go!" She grabbed her lunch box and shoved hit into her backpack. Todd ran into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle, a moth sandwich and potato chips and stuffed them in his backpack. "Lets go!" He urged. He and Breeze flew out the door, Orestes waved goodbye at Brutus and followed them. "Gotta go, bye!" Called Shade. "See ya guys!" Said Chinook. They flew out of the house as fast as they could. Marina followed behind them.

"Maggie and I should go too." Said Andre, as he brushed his hair with his hands. "I thought you guys had late start today." Said Scirocco. "We do, Dad. We just have to meet our friends at school." Andre explained. He grabbed his backpack and hugged his father. "See ya later, Dad." He said. Magnolia kissed Bathsheba's cheek. "Bye Auntie." She said, as she followed Andre. "Don't do drugs Magnolia!" Bathsheba called after her. "I don't have drugs anyway!" Magnolia called over her shoulder.

"Don't drink alcohol!"

"I only drink chocolate milk, orange juice and water!"

"Don't smoke!"

"I don't even know where to buy cigarettes!"

"And don't drool over boys!"

"I drool in my sleep!"

"Ok, your good!"

"I know!"

The door shut behind them. Bathsheba did that everyday of school. It was her way of making sure her niece knew right from wrong. Everyone knew Magnolia disliked her aunts temper and selfish personality, but this test of hers seemed to be the only one Magnolia truly found annoying.

The house was quiet. Shade, Marina, Chinook, Breeze, Todd, Orestes, Magnolia and Andre were all at school. Penelope was at her own school. She was a sophomore in college. Remus, Romulus, Luger and Ursa weren't up yet, they usually didn't show up until 10:00, and it was only 7:20. Hector was taking a shower, everyone else wasn't home. Ariel, Mercury, Frieda, Bathsheba, Goth, Throbb, Scirocco, Zephyr and Brutus were the only ones awake and in the house at this point.

"SoooWhat should we do?" Asked Mercury. Looking bored. "Well..We could watch TV, thats always interesting." suggested Scirocco. What should we watch on TV then?" Throbb asked. "We could watch..Sports?" Brutus was met with a groan from all the bats.

"Sports doesn't make any sense." Said Goth.

"Ok, Uh..Cooking?"

"That always makes me hungry." Said Bathsheba.

"Discovery channel?"

"Thats just boring." Said Throbb.

"How a about something scary?"

"No way!" Said Mercury. He didn't want to see something scary…Not after last time.

"Something romantic?"

"Eww!" Bathsheba moaned. She didn't like romantic movies, they made her all..Gushy, and grossed out.

"Gross!" Scirocco agreed with old female. He thought the humans romance movies were just ridicules.

"Ok, how about a comedy. Thats always fun."

"I could go for a few laughs." Said Frieda.

"Yeah, comedy sounds good." Said Ariel.

Throbb suddenly had an idea. "Hang on, I want to try something." He said as he shoved his spoon and fork aside. "Throbb?" Goth asked. Not liking the look on his brother-in-laws face. "I'm going to eat my breakfast with just my face." Said Throbb. "Are you insane?" Mercury asked. "Yes, but Shade isn't here so he and the others will never know so I minus well do it." Said Throbb. Mercury blinked. "Ok, I guess that works." He said.

With that, Throbb dumped his face in his whip creamed, buttered and syruped pancakes. Eating as he went. In seconds, his plate was empty and his entire face was sticky with pancakes, syrup, melted butter and whip cream. He smelled like pancakes too. "That tasted good." He said. Frieda, Ariel and Bathsheba giggled at him. "Throbb, you might want to clean your face." Said Zephyr. He didn't need to see to know what Throbb looked like. He could smell it. Throbb did as he was told and cleaned his face in the sink while the others started cleaning the table and turning on the TV.
