No One's P.O.V

Fly smiled proudly at the newly made fishing lure that was in his hand. Throwing it up in the air, he quickly grabbed it from the air as he shot up from his chair and moved to his closet with a big grin. Throwing open his closet and reaching in to grab his fishing rod, Fly then spun around to pull a box out from underneath his bed. Grasping his mini buoy and hook, he grinned wider when he pulled it out of the box and rushed out of his room. When he came to the stairs and grasped the bannister to pull his body around, Fly shouted out, "Ye-Ha!" as he slid down the winding bannister to twist himself around and land on his skateboard. As Fly practically flew down the hallway on his skateboard, the doorbell was being pushed by someone with manicured and darkly nail polished finger nails. As Fly came round the corner of the hallway, he called out to his parents. "Going fishing!" His mother came out of the kitchen and called out to him, waving her arm as she stepped out of the kitchen. "Fly wait!" Due to his attention being directed to his mother, Fly didn't notice his father walking towards the door and pulling it open. When he finally turned around and noticed that someone was standing at the door, Fly's eyes widened as he called out in shock and slammed into his Aunt Anna.

Crying out as he was sent flying back from his Aunt's rather plump body, Fly slipped off his skateboard and landed on the ground with a thump. Letting out a big gust of air, he looked up and saw his cousin Chuck staring down at him with his nose raised haughtily in the air. "Hello Fly." Chuck drawled out as he walked past Fly to go into the living room without a backwards glance. "I see everything's in it's usual state around here." Aunt Anna stated as she stared down at Fly before sniffing and tilting her nose up as haughtily as her son's had been. "Lisa," She stated looking to his mother who smiled at her in apology before turning her gaze to his father. "Bill." She stated in a haughtier tone when she addressed him, before looking back to Fly's mother. "You can run along now." Fly blinked before looking towards his mother as she stepped closer to him and knelt down beside him. "Honey, your dad and I are going out. Aunt Anna's going to babysit Stella and, uh," His mother stated before taking a piece of her red hair and twirling it in her finger's. "Your cousin Chuck is here too." She added in a more positive tone as Fly tilted his head back and covered his eyes. Well, that was his plans for the afternoon gone. Fly voiced his opinion of the situation by groaning. "Oh man..."

About 20 minutes had passed and Fly's parents had finally finished getting ready for their night out. Fly had gathered outside on the porch to wave them goodbye with his aunt, cousin and little sister Stella. "Bye bye mommy! Bye daddy!" Stella exclaimed happily, waving her arm around harshly while Fly settled for a salute goodbye. His cousin rolled his eyes and gave a reluctant wave while his aunt merely wiggled her finger's in their direction. "Bye honey," His father called out, waving in return to his little girl before pinning the two boys with a serious look. "Boys, be good." As they pulled out and drove away, Fly glanced at Chuck and rolled his eyes. What did his father think was going to happen with Chuck and Aunt Anna around? They were the two most boring people ever. "Alright now, let's head back inside." His Aunt stated in the drawling voice of her's as she turned and walked into the house, her heels clicking as she stepped away from them. Sighing, Fly couldn't help but glance at the house across the street before shaking his head and walking into the house after his cousin and sister. "Man, wish Ari was able to come over." He sighed as he stepped into the living room to sit down heavily in the armchair in front of the T.V. Picking up the remote and beginning to flick through channels, Fly mentally cursed Ari's need to finish her homework.

Fly wasn't sure how many minutes had passed since he had seated himself down in the armchair, but it felt like it had been years. He had shifted through so many different positions in the chair, desperately trying to find a channel that would be at least a bit stimulating. Glancing at the clock and huffing lightly, Fly inwardly smirked when he heard his sister shout from upstairs. His aunt had probably fallen asleep trying to read a book to make Stella fall asleep. Aunt Anna had done it countless times when she babysat for him when he was younger. Taking a deep breath as he continued to flick through the channels, Fly pulled himself to sit upright and flicked through the channels a couple more times before noticing his cousin typing away at something. Smirking lightly, Fly pulled himself up from the seat and sauntered over to stand behind his cousin who was sitting at the piano typing away, his finger's clicking against the laptop's keyboard. Placing his hands in his pockets, Fly leaned over his cousin's shoulder to stare at the computer's screen. "Well Einstein," He stated in a snarky manner as his cousin turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Got any decent games?" Fly added as he turned his gaze to smirk at Chuck, who rolled his eyes. Scoffing lightly and pulling off his glasses, Chuck stated in his boring voice with his nose raised haughtily. "I'm calculating the length of a D.N.A molecule."

His drawling tone caused Fly to roll his eyes lightly before he turned his gaze back to the computer. His eyes widened when he realised just what kind of computer it was and Fly shoved his cousin out of the way to grasp the sides of the laptop. "Hey, it's a Millennium 2000 PMX! This is a really cool machine!" Fly exclaimed excitedly, pressing the keys as his cousin got up and chased after him, spluttering and stammering. "Give it to me!" Chuck whined, reaching for it as Fly lifted it up and out of his reach. "And a power processor?" Fly questioned teasingly as Chuck tried to reach for it with his short arms. "Give it to me!" Chuck repeated as Fly turned around to hold it in the air above him as he pressed a hand on Chuck's chest to hold him back. "Relax Chucky, I'm just checking it out." Fly stated calmly with a large grin on his face as he watched his cousin's face fill with distress. Pushing Chuck back, Fly continued to press the buttons as Chuck quickly recovered and followed after him. "No Fly, don't!" Chuck whined once again, his voice becoming desperate as Fly continued to walk away and press the keys. Rushing forward, Chuck grabbed the back of Fly's sweatshirt and tried to pull his cousin back. Fly just pulled out of his grip and continued to step forward, ending up walking upwards on the couch and it's cushions. "No, Fly don't, don't hit escape!" Chuck shouted desperately as Fly proceeded to press the 'Escape' key despite his cousin's pleas. "What?" Fly stated in confusion as he looked back at his cousin's desperate face before looking at the computer screen, his eyes growing wide as he noticed the screen flashing. "Oops... Escape?" Fly questioned nervously as his cousin groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Why not?" Fly added grinning nervously as his cousin looked at him angrily.

Five minutes later, Chuck was still shouting at Fly who was looking away to stare at the walls in false innocence. "Your lucky that I made a backup!" Chuck shouted as he wiggled a computer disk in Fly's face with angry eyes as Fly sighed and rolled his eyes lightly. Getting close to Fly's face, Chuck angrily shouted causing Fly to stare at him as Chuck got up in his face. "Do you have any idea what would've happened if-" Chuck's tirade was interrupted by Fly, who clasped a hand on his shoulder and pressed the other against his chest. "Chill out Chucky, nothing happened!" Fly stated calmly as he tried to calm his cousin down from his tirade. "Hi Fly!" A familiar voice piped up, causing Fly and Chuck to turn around in surprise and stare at Stella who smiled sweetly and waved cutely from her spot on the stairs. "Um, weren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Fly questioned as he pushed up his cap to stare at his sister, his cousin staring at her with a questioning stare. "Aunt Anna's on my bed!" Stella stated as she looks up the stairs for emphasis before turning her wide brown eyes back to them. Fly fist-pumped the air as he became filled with excitement at the prospect of getting away from his boring relatives. "Alright!" He shouted excitedly before turning to run to his skateboard and fishing gear. "I'm out of here!" He added, grabbing his jacket off the hook beside his things before noticing Chuck walking determinedly towards the stairs.

Grabbing his fishing rod and jumping onto his skateboard, Fly rode on it till he was level with Chuck. "Hey Chuck, where're you going?" Fly questioned as he forced himself to stop as he watched his cousin begin to walk up the stairs. "To wake my mom." Chuck stated confidently with his nose raised in the air as he stepped up the stairs, before blinking in surprise when Fly suddenly reached forward to pull his shoulder back. "Oh no your not." Fly replied as his hand swiftly darted out and pulled the disk from his cousin's stubby fingers. "Hey, g-give it back." Chuck stated, slightly shocked by his taller cousin's swift actions. Fly smirked lightly as he pulled on his jacket. "Guess where your going?" He stated teasingly as his cousin crossed his arms, tilted his nose up haughtily and shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere." Chuck stated confidently, before rushing down the stairs as he pulled his glasses off to glare at Fly. "Now give it back!" He demanded as Stella came down the stairs to watch the interaction between her brother and cousin. "You are coming fishing with me." Fly stated confidently with a small smirk as he pressed his foot down on his skateboard, catching it in midair when it bounced up off the floor. Chuck scoffed and placed his glasses back on the bridge of his nose. "Not in a million years." Causing Fly to grin in a mischievous manner.

"Oh, I definitely think you are~" Fly stated in an almost sing song manner as he clenched the corner of the disk in his teeth and pulled it down, threatening to break it between his teeth. Chuck's eyes widened as he realised what his cousin was threatening to do and quickly cried out, "No Fly! Please, no!" While Fly paused and stared at his cousin with a raised brow as if saying, 'Well? Are you going to come with me or not?', causing Chuck to sigh and cringe. "Fine, I'll go fishing with you. Just don't break it!" Chuck whined causing Fly to grin in victory and Stella to giggle. "Fly, can I come with you?" Stella calls out as she runs down the stairs to cling to Fly's leg, looking up at him with large brown eyes. Fly sighed and gently pried his sister off his leg before crouching down to be eye level with her. "Stella, I'm not to sure." He stated softly as he laid his hand on her hair, ruffling it lightly as she pouted. "Why not?" She whined lightly as she clung to his arm, as Fly smiled softly. "I won't be able to keep an eye on you all the time. What happens if you get hurt or fall?" He replied and smiled as his sister frowned and looked at the ground, clearly thinking hard as her tongue poked out of her mouth. Fly jumped slightly when Stella snapped her head back up at him with bright, excited eyes as she called out, "Ari can come and keep an eye on me!" Hopping on the spot in excitement.

Fly stared at his sister in surprise as he thought about her idea. 'That would actually work. While I'm fishing and Chuck's sulking,' Fly thought as he glanced at his pouting cousin before looking back to his hopeful little sister. 'Ari could keep an eye on Stella and keep her occupied.' Taking a deep breath, Fly smiled at his sister and ruffled her hair as she giggled. "Well Stella, that has got to be one of the best idea's I've ever heard!" Fly stated as he turned away from his sister to grab her jacket and boots. Picking them up, he crouched down and helped her to put them on before grasping her hand in his free one. "Let's go!" Fly exclaimed as he stepped towards the door, turning back to his cousin and pointing to the roller blades by the door. "Chuck, you can use these. Stella will ride with me and Ari will have her skateboard." His statement caused his cousin to blink in surprise as he stumbled after them, grabbing the rollerblades reluctantly and stepping out the door. "You and Ari are still friends?" Chuck questioned, trying to hide the curiosity in his voice as his cousin nodded. "Yup. Still are." Fly stated as he closed the door and began to walk down the steps with Stella skipping by his side. When they reached the road, Fly quickly glanced at both sides of the roads before walking across with Stella holding his hand and Chuck trailing after them. Once they reached the other side, Fly swiftly walked to a two story blue and white house, dumped his skateboard and fishing gear so it was hidden from view on the porch and turned to Chuck and Stella. "Okay guys, I just want you guys to wait here. Chuck, put the rollerblades by my skateboard."

Chuck rose an eyebrow before placing the rollerblades in top of Fly's skateboard and stood beside Stella as Fly let go of her hand to bound up the steps of the house. Shuffling his feet lightly, Fly reached out and pressed the doorbell twice and waited. A few moments passed and Fly was about to press the doorbell in impatience, when the sudden pitter patter of feet rang out. There was an indistinct shout of, 'I'll get it!', and the door opened to reveal a girl with navy blue hair and green eyes. Blinking in surprise, the girl looked at Fly before looking behind him at an excited Stella and sulking Chuck, before her gaze flitted back to Fly with a smile breaking out on her face. "Fly!" She stated happily, throwing her arms around his neck as she hugged him tightly causing him to laugh lightly. "Hey Ari." Fly replied, pulling away to stare at his best friend who smiled back at him. His gaze flitted down to her lips for a split second and Fly gulped, shaking his head lightly as thoughts of how full they were flowed into his mind. 'What the heck?' He thought briefly before shaking his head once more and grinning at Ari. "We were going to go fishing. Stella wants to come but I can't really take her without someone being there to watch her. So would you mind coming with us? It'll be fun I promise!" Fly added when Ari rose an eyebrow at him. Thinking about it for a bit, Ari glanced at Chuck and leaned closer to Fly to whisper. "Why can't he take care of her?" Fly turned back to glance at Chuck who was looking away from them with a pout and turned back to Ari with a raised brow, causing her to roll her eyes in a good natured manner.

"Fine." She sighed, inwardly smiling when Fly fist pumped the air in victory. "Your lucky that I love Stella." She stated in a falsely haughty manner, tilting her nose up as she turned to step back into her house. Fly mock groaned and followed after her, pouting when she turned to him with a raised brow. "You love me too right?" He mock cried, his words causing Ari to freeze. Glancing at him, Ari struggled to hold a blush back when she stared at his pouting face. Forcing her blush back, Ari smirked and stated, "Most of the time." Before laughing in a good nature as Fly gasped and clutched his chest dramatically. "You wound me Ari!" He exclaimed as she rolled her eyes and continued to walk into her house to grab her jacket, shoes and skateboard. She called out to her parent's, "Mom, dad, I'm just going to be over at Fly's house! I'll be back later I promise!", before stepping outside as they shouted their consent. Closing the door behind her, she quickly pulled her hair into a messy ponytail as she stood in front of Fly. When she finished tying her hair, Ari spun around in a circle pulling a pose and fluttering her eyelashes in a mocking manner as she asked, "How do I look?" Fly laughed before staring at Ari, noticing a change in her body shape. Her curves had begun to fill out more and her tight pants outlined her shapely legs, causing Fly to stare and gulp lightly. "Fly? Are you okay?" Snapping out of it when Ari's voice called out, Fly glanced up at his best friend and he tried to laugh it off as he said, "You look great." Causing Ari to flush and look down at her feet in surprise. An awkward silence hung between them for a few more moments only to be broken by an impatient Stella.

"Ari!" The little girl called out, reaching up with her arms up as she dashed towards the two and causing them to smile. Ari rushed down the steps and tossed her skateboard to the grass as she wrapped her arms around Stella, hugging the little girl tightly. Stroking the little girl's hair lightly Ari pulled back, smiled and laughed warmly as Stella pressed a sloppy kiss to her cheek. "Hey Stella. I missed you!" Ari stated pressing a kiss to the little girl's forehead before picking her up and walking over to Chuck. Once she reached to stand before him, Ari smiled wider and reached her hand out to Chuck. "Hey Chuck. Haven't seen you for a while." She stated softly causing Chuck to nod as he gripped her hand firmly, shaking it once before letting her hand go. "I know. I haven't seen you in a while too." He stated as Fly stepped to stand beside them with a grin. "Ready to go?" He stated as he passed Chuck the rollerblades and waited for Ari to put Stella down on the ground before giving her skateboard to her. Their hands brushed each others and a light shock flew through them, causing them to jump lightly and flush. 'Why am I feeling like this?' They simultaneously thought as they flushed lightly before shaking their heads and walked to the road in silence. Placing his skateboard on the ground, Fly turned to face Ari with a grin as he scooped Stella into one of his arms. "Are you ready?" He stated as Chuck stepped shakily towards them in the rollerblades and managed to keep himself still with his arms out to steady him. Ari smirked and quickly pushed off, speeding past Chuck and causing him to start rolling forward as she called out to Fly, "Are you?" Before turning to keep an eye on the road while Stella squealed when Fly quickly pushed off to catch up to Ari.

Hey guys :D Wow, this has got to be one of my longest chapters yet! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it ^_^ I have made Fly and Ari a bit younger because it'll make the idea of liking your best friend a bit more foreign to them due to the inexperience they have with that kind of stuff, so I'll be making Fly 15 and Ari 14. Besides that, not that much will be changing. I would also like your opinion on what kind of fish Ari will be after drinking the potion, based on her personality or one you think would suit her.

Can't wait to hear your ideas!
