Sorry it's taken me so long to update this. I simply haven't had the time.
Now, onward!
"MARTHA! CROW STOLE MY COOKIE AGAIN!" Kalin wailed, chasing the young carrot top, who sprinted frantically from the older boy.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did n- WAAA!" Crow exclaimed, falling to the floor, the said cookie breaking into little pieces. Jack and Yusei snickered, watching the whole ordeal play out when someones leg 'Accidentally' tripped the running pair. Yusei, of course, was the first to ask if they were alright.
"Y-yeah... but the cookie ain't." Kalin muttered, looking at the crumbs that littered the floor. Kalin then glared at Crow, who was rubbing his thumping head.
"Yeah, well I feel about as great as the cookie. Oh no, don't worry about me, just dying over in the corner here, but that's alright." Crow grimaced, feeling a bump swell on the back of his head. Jack chuckled.
"I send my condolences." Jack said with a chuckle and Kalin joined in. Yusei looked at him with annoyance.
"Say you're sorry, Jack." Yusei said with a gentle voice, helping Crow up from the seated position he was in. Jack looked with astonishment at the blue eyed boy, and wondered who died and made him king.
"Sorry for what? That bird brain has two left feet? That's not my problem, its his." he retorted with a roll of his violet orbs. At that moment, Martha walked in, her long dress fluttering about her legs.
"What is goin on around here?" she asked with that mothely way of hers. All of the boys looked down at their feet, not wanting to match her probing gaze. Johnathan* and his sibblings came around to peek from the side of her dress and look at the commotion.
"Crow stole Kalin's cookie and then Jack tripped him!" Yusei said, always the weakest when it came to Martha. The other boys looked at him with shock and agitation as the crab-haired boy clamped his mouth shut.
"Taddle tale." Jack muttered under his breath, his eyes turning to look with annoyance to Yusei, whose hands were still covering his mouth.
"What was that?" Martha said with sterness.
"Nothing ma'am..." he whispered, wondering what punishment they would get now. Martha sighed.
"All of you, get washed up to eat. After we eat, I want all four of you boys up to your rooms." she said, walking back into the kitchen. Johnathan's sibblings followed after Martha, but the boy followed the other four to the bathroom.
"What was all that about?" he asked gently, his green eyes searching for answers.
"Yusei don't know when to keep his goodie-two-shoes mouth shut." Kalin said, stretching while the blue-eyed boy gave him the 'Don't push it' glare.
"Oh... Well I saw a helicopter today." Johnathan said, and the four boys scoffed.
"Yeah right. Like where? In the scrap yard?" Crow said with disbelief while they finally reached the bathroom. As they washed, they conversed.
"No! It came in from the city. It was all shiny and new, but it wasn't from Sector Security. Even ask my brother and sister. They saw it too." the black haired boy replied, drying his hands on the small towel that lay on the rack.
"I don't believe ya." Crow and Kalin said in unison, and then the two boys were off, racing to the dinner table. Johnathan shrgged his tiny shoulders in defeat.
"Well we believe ya, mate." Jack said, placing a a hand on his right shoulder. The short boy cheered up in an instant.
"Realy?" he asked with excitement, and Yusei chuckled.
"Yeah. Now go on ahead and save us a seat. Make sure Kalin and Crow don't eat everything." Yusei replied with a comforting nod and smile. The boy smiled and ran off into the kitchen. Yusei looked to Jack as the blonde made sure Heartly was out of hearing range.
"A helicopter? And not from Security? Why would someone from the City willingly want to come here?" Yusei asked with confusion. Jack crossed his arms and shook his head.
"Dunno mate. But whatever bloke is here ain't tryin' to be sneaky about it. Maybe a convict?" he asked, peering back ay Yusei with stern eyes. Yusei shrugged.
"No. Too fancy to be one. Maybe some corporation guy trying to hide somethin', knowing Security wouldn't believe a word we said." the boy replied and Jack shrugged.
"Could be, bu-" the accented boy was cut off by one line that took all of his humility and maturity away.
"Crow ate all the ramen!"
"HE DID WHAT?" the tall blond exclaimed, kicking open the dining room door and peering around in its contnts. "WHERE'S THAT GOOD-FOR-NOTHING BIRD BRAIN?" he bellowed. Yusei simply facepalmed.
"Well, better make sure Jack don't kill Crow." Yusei said, the mystery of the helicopter lost amongst the brewing chaos in the house.
How was that?
