Chapter 4: Pranks, Water Fights and Pillow Fights

A few hours later after the issue of dealing with a near paper ball fight in the boys bedroom I heard a splash and hid a smile as I knew my patients were at it again and went into the hallway to see what was going on this time, and Max walked over to me. "Did you hear anything?" I asked him and he nodded as we headed into where the noise came from and were walking up there when I slipped and he grabbed my shoulder.

"The floors drenched." I said and I knew what happened in there and we checked out the bathroom and found a massive puddle on the floor, the walls drenched and the mirrors looking like they had been through a car wash rinse cycle, and I was trying to keep from laughing at what this was turning into, if these kids were doing things like this it was going to get even more nuts on the floor and this was getting out of hand that afternoon as we checked things out as I saw the puddle running out the door and into the hall.

"Good Grief, it looks like a boulder fell into a swimming pool in here." I said as my eyes landed on the hose on the floor. "Wait a minute, they were fooling around with the hose in here." I added and we decided to check out Kincaid's room and found all seven of them with their backs to us. "You think they picked up on the fact that things are getting a bit nuts between us?" I heard him say and Kristen responded to that.

"If they didn't before they will now and you look like you have fallen into a swimming pool, though if one of them winds stepping on a water puddle we're all going to get it. Kin I warned you guys we needed to take a break, because if they didn't hear the noise, before, they're going to find the side effects leaking into the hall next." she said to him and I was trying to hold in my laughter at that, since I could hear the smile in her voice as well as the laughter and knew she enjoying her time with them as Max interjected into the conversation at that with a bemused look on his face with the kids as he responded to that remark she made.

"Alright, who in here is the one fooling around with the hose in the showers, guys, because you're on thin ice here, since I already told you once to take it down a few notches, do I need to give a secondary warning to you on that, so again which of you was playing with the hose this time?" Max went first as he injected a warning tone into his voice as he said that and they all turned to us and I could tell they were trying to keep from laughing after what just happened in there, and they were all soaked to the bone, as we came into the room and got a good look at them.

I hadn't seen my patients like this in three months and suddenly they were getting into the weirdest predicaments and this was going way too far that day, as I waited for the culprit to answer that question too I knew this was going to keep up and I was trying to keep from laughing as I looked at my youngest who was also holding in her laughter as she tried to keep from looking the rest of the group. I could tell she was holding it in as she looked at me and I could read it in her eyes what she was thinking.

'Oh boy are we going to get it for this, and this just got me busted even more for it.', I didn't have to hear it out loud because I could read what she was thinking in her eyes and tried to keep from laughing and knew she was right abut that and I was really going to give it to her, 'You got that right kiddo, and you are really asking for a serious case of torture here and I'm really going to give it to you for this if this keeps up.' I thought as I waited for the one who started this batch of fooling around to answer the question, and knew if she was as bad as they were she was going to break by the time I ended it as I looked at the seven of them as I tried to hold it in.

"Guilty Max, I started it." Kincaid said and I tried to keep my voice under control as I responded to that as I tried to keep my voice stern even though I was about to start laughing at the way the seven of them looked, as they all had the same look of laughter in their eyes and were trying to keep from cracking up at the moment, and I knew my thoughts were right when I said they were getting closer, but adding this much fooling around and I knew it was going to lead to something else if it kept up like this all day and if it lead in the same direction the next thing was probably a pillow fight and if they went at it we were going to wind up in the line of fire.

"Alright cool it already, because this is getting ridiculous, and get changed because you all look like you had fallen into a swimming pool, you need to take it down a few notches because you already have our attention here guys, so dial it down alright." I said to the seven of them, I was trying to be stern, but I was also trying to keep from laughing at all of this, as they all nodded to me and we left the room and went into the main hall as we both started laughing at this, though just as we did I heard a bit of giggling at what just happened."I haven't seen them like this in months, if their bond is anything to by, I'd say this has to do with that." I said and he nodded as he tried to keep from laughing.

"If this keeps up, we are going to have a few problems tonight." he told me and I looked at him at that. "How so Max?" I asked him. "Right before I came into the room that first time I heard the sound of a pillow hitting something and went to check it out and found Jennifer holding Kincaid's pillow in her hand and Kincaid looking like he was about to start laughing at her, like she had smacked him with it." he said and I nodded smiling.

"Pillow fight?" I asked him and he nodded."I think that with the seven of them together it's going to be getting interesting for a while and she has really relaxed since she has been with them." he said and I nodded. "The way she was getting into the conversations during our session today was good, but she looked like she was about to start laughing as they went at it, and whatever they were talking about last night landed in the session this morning." I told him and he smiled as he answered that and then told me what they were acting like to each other, and knew that if my thoughts about this were right, it meant a stronger bond.

"I'm not sure here, but I think this is more than a normal bond though, more than likely they were raised together when they were little and they were separated before they met up now." he told me and I nodded as I got what he was saying as I saw it as well, and knew this was the reason for why she opened up to me so fast, and I knew she was going to get attached as well, since when it came to them I acted like a father and it worked in getting them to open up and I was going to be there for them if they needed me at the time, and I could tell that she would need me if something came up.

"So they think of each other as brothers and sisters, well that explains why they have grown so close and why she opened up so fast." I said and he nodded. "Yeah well at the moment she's getting a bit smart with me and I'm going to give it to her later for that." I said and he started laughing. "They tried to start a playful bickering match in there?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah and it's reached the point to where they are about to do it for real and if what you told me about what went on last night at dinner is anything to go by we're looking at a few pillow fights later and this just got added on to it." I said and he nodded in agreement to that statement.

"I think we better keep an eye on things tonight otherwise it's going to turn into a madhouse on this floor, especially since I heard their conversation right before the pillow fight nearly started earlier. " he told me and I was holding in my laughter at that. "What were they talking about exactly if you were looking like you were about to start laughing earlier when I came to talk to you?" I asked and he smiled as he went into that as I turned to him while keeping half my attention on my patients then.

"Right before he started the jokes, she said to him they weren't going into that a second time since they knew that with all three of us still down here, it was going to get them in trouble, but he was still trying to restart things before I came back in there, and it started going in the direction of a pillow fight, they were also talking about the reason for their bond and whatever started this has to do with the street that model she built is based off of and that house as well, that is one reason for the connection and the other is the fact that their parents were probably friends as well."

" After that portion of the conversation ended, I came into the room to let them know to keep it down a few notches, just as I left the room I heard the pillow hit something else and knew she smacked him a second time." he said and I started laughing at that. "Alright this is going a bit too far with those kids, was there anything else going on while I was in my office?" I asked him and he nodded as he answered that and I could tell he was trying to keep from laughing as he told me.

"There were a few pranks and a paper ball fight started going back and forth between their rooms." he said and I nodded as I smiled at that. "I think that with them fooling around we're going to wind up in the line of fire sooner or later so stay away from the doors when they are fooling around." I said and he nodded with a smile as I went into the other thing with our newest patient's bond with the rest of the group.

"If her response to his wise-guy statements is anything to go by, I think they really had grown close, with her being with them now, I think she'll be fine, but I can't believe how fast she recovered from what happened yesterday." I said and he nodded in agreement as we thought it over, but at the current moment neither of us were taking chances in her health and we weren't chancing a relapse either, so we had to watch what we said in case of another panic attack and if there was one, head it off.

"The bond has probably caused her energy levels to go up and she has been fooling around all morning with them." he said and I nodded in agreement to that, but though she had some energy, she was far from being fully recovered and we had to watch her in case of another collapse. "Best guess, is that with them being together or back together it caused their energy levels to go through the roof and now they are fooling around, because if this keeps up there are going to be a few more pranks or another food or pillow fight tonight." I said and he nodded to that as we watched them leave their rooms and head back into his as we waited for the next blow-out in there.

"I get the feeling that if they were like this as kids it just turned into a teenage prank war." he said and I nodded. "At this rate, best to get our first photo taken, I brought my polaroid camera." I heard and turned in time to see a flash light up the room. "Start playing with the camera and you're going to get it Kin, don't push it. I heard in answer to that and hid a smile. "So what's deal, trouble." I heard and then heard a pillow smack.

As I went to look and looked around the doorjamb and saw her lying across Philip's bed and him right behind her as she leaned into him and I waved to Max and he moved to me. Watching the duo together, I knew that the bond of brothers and sisters snapped into place then. "Chances are with the way we are together, they're going to notice that." Kristen said and the quartet nodded as Kincaid looked at her playfully at that remark.

"Yeah they're going to notice that, but will they notice this." he said as he grabbed his pillow and she gave him a warning look at that. "Don't try it, we're in enough trouble already." she said at that and I nodded in agreement. "I think we better keep an eye out." I said to Max over my shoulder, but just as I finished saying that I heard the sound of a pillow hitting something in the bedroom and then a second time at that

And we looked in the room in time to see a pillow getting thrown out of the room. "You really think they're not going to notice that Kin, we're in enough trouble as it is, watch it already." I heard Jennifer say and hid a smile as I looked at him. "Hey watch it kin, enough of the pranks and practice jokes here already." Kristen said and I nodded to that. "So what's wrong can't take a joke." he asked and she stood up at that remark.

"You keep this up and you will be the one that can't take joke." she said, befire she smacked him with a pillow and he hit her back. As I looked at the quintet surrounding them as they were all shaking I knew they were finding this funny as I looked at Max at that. "They're at it again." I said to him and he agreed with me as we went back over there and saw Kristen with his pillow in her hand and him with a smile on his face.

And we moved away from the door, as we heard their conversation and I was trying to keep from laughing as I heard the next statement before we heard the next blow, and then Philip and Will's statement to her. "So what's the problem can't take a joke?" I heard Kincaid said and then we heard the next blow. 'Oh my god, come on guys, enough already today.' I heard from a gentle tone loaded with laughter as Taryn answered that.

"I think you better knock it off Kincaid, because she really is going to beat you senseless if this keeps up." I heard Taryn say to him before the next statement from Will and I knew things were about to started getting out of hand in there as we heard another smack and I was trying to keep from laughing at this. "Kris pull yourself together here alright, and Kincaid back off already, she is going to beat you senseless if this keeps up."

"And the last thing we need is a beat down with them listening to this and she is also trying to keep from laughing so lay off." I heard Philip say and I knew she was trying to keep from letting him go at her, but if this kept up she was going to break before it ended and I knew something was going to go flying sooner or later in there as a result of it. "Kris pull it together, and Kin enough already." Jenny said to them and I hid a chuckle then as I heard Will say the same thing.

As I waited for the next blow I heard Will say the same thing and knew things were about to start escalating in there and it was about to turn into a war zone in the room, and if what we had seen so far was any indication it was about to turn into a madhouse, with seven teenagers and a pile of pillows and was about to wind up with one of staff winding up in the line of fire if anything else was thrown out the door over there.

"Kris, you need to pull yourself together here, because you look like you're about to die laughing." Will said and I knew what was going on in there and that my patient was trying to keep Kincaid from pushing her to that point as I heard a smack followed by Kincaid's follow up statement and knew he was teasing her to the point of her beating him senseless with that pillow and if it kept up this was going to lead to a real pillow fight in there, but that name caught my attention.

"Kris, is that what they're calling her now?" I asked him and he nodded and I smiled at that, the bonds really had grown strong if they had given her a nick-name that fast as we listened to the conversation and I was trying to keep from giving myself away and not let them know we were standing outside the door listening to this. "Watch it or you're going to break my glasses by accident." Will added and I knew she nodded.

"Like I said, what's the problem can't take a joke?" I heard Kincaid say again to her at that and a minute later I heard the next blow followed by another pillow flying out of the room and we had to move away to keep from getting hit by that one and then we heard Kristen's response on that and could tell she was trying to keep from laughing at this and knew she put the pillow down in the process as she answred him remark as she said it.

"Keep it up and you will be the one who can't take a joke." I heard her say as I heard a thwap sound followed by two more and then a third as she added on to her previous statement with a playful threat in her voice. "Alright that's it, keep that up and you are going to get it." she said to whoever hit her and then I heard another smack. "Hey watch where you aim that." Will said as I heard a secondary thunk followed by a third.

"Oof" "Ah, Alright that's it pal, this is war." I heard through another link as I heard a fifth thunk and then. "Hey watch it." Taryn said at that as she got it. "And again you keep this up and you're really going to get it." I heard from Kristen and heard a joking manner in Philip's voice as he answered her at that as the trio started exchanging pillow blows as I heard his answering response to her remark as I exchanged looks with Max at that.

"Hey, he started it." Philip answered her and before that went further Taryn answered that. "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it." she said before we heard several more blows and then heard Jennifer get into the conversation, while this was going on we looked at each other as we tried to hold back our laughter as we listened to this conversation, knowing it was one of the other boys that smacked her this time.

Listening to this the only thought going through me was that I've never heard my patients get this rowdy before and it sounded like a herd of elephants wound up in the hospital as Elizabeth came to join us and I hold up my hand and she froze. "So what's the problem can't take a joke?" we heard and Elizabeth crossed her arms. "You keep this up and you will be the one can't take joke." we heard in response as we heard a third.

"Just starting for her and the kids chose their own way of anger management therapy." I told her softly and she nodded. "By starting a pillow fight?" she said and I nodded as we went into this as she arrived in time to see another pillow being thrown out the door. and barely missed getting hit by it as she looked at which room it came out of. As well as the other two sitting on the floor and looked at us with a bemused look on her face.

"What's going on in there?" she asked and I smiled. "The kids started a pillow fight and it just started heating up in there, stay out of range though. Because those three are not the only ones, because we've had several pillows thrown out of the room here. But my patients decided the only way to loose the frustration of today's session is by screwing around too much." I said and she nodded as she tried to keep a straight face on that.

"This is getting ridiculous, I saw the tapes of what went on last night and now this, those kids are pushing their luck here." she said and I hid a smile as I answered that. "Tell me about it, but if this gets Kincaid to release the aggressiveness then all the better. He should be allowed to play like this, but put him together with her and watch out." Max said and I nodded in agreement to that, but before I could say anything.

"Why exactly?" she asked and I explained that, but before I could say I heard the next bickering match in there as we heard several smacks. "Alright guys cool it." We heard from Will as Kristen responded to that. "He started it." she said to him and that started things. "No I didn't." Philip said to her. "Did" "Didn't" "Did" "Didn't" we heard before we heard Will a second time. "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it."

"Now enough already." he said to them as we heard another smack and we started laughing at that as I looked at Simms with a smile as I answered her statement. "That's why Elizabeth, every time they're together he starts something and they start going at it. But anger management therapy, only someone who shares their problem understands. But your concerns over this and that getting dangerous at the moment now."

"I wouldn't worry about that right now, I don't doubt this has to do with their familial backgrounds if they grew this close that fast." I said to her and she nodded. "I haven't seen them this wired, let alone him able to relax that quickly in months, what is triggering that?" she asked and Max went into that one. "I think our latest group are surrogate brothers and sisters if they are like this around each other." he said and she nodded. "So what caused that first pillow to be thrown out of the room?" she asked and I started laughing as I answered that.

"He's trying to get her to crack and she threw it at him to get him to back off." I said and she nodded as she started laughing at that one. "Alright this is going too far here, who is the one who threw that pillow out of the room?" she asked and Max answered that. "Kristen did, but like he said she threw it at him to get him to back off before she cracked." he said to her, but before she could ask the next one I heard another smack and then a third one went flying out the door and she quickly side stepped to keep from getting hit as she looked at us to continue our conversation and I knew she was holding it in.

"Who started it this time?" she asked and I tried to keep from laughing as I answered that. "Kincaid did, but the one who just got into it with him was Kristen, which explains that pillow just now." I said and she nodded as she started laughing at that. "I didn't see that coming when she got here. Barely twenty four hours and already they're acting like they're ten years old." she said and I nodded. "Be thankful you didn't come into the hallway an hour ago though." I said and she looked at me that with a bemused look.

"Why do you say that?" she asked and Max answered that one. "They got into a water fight and were fooling around with the hose in the bathroom." he said and she nodded, and I knew she was trying to keep from laughing at that as we got into this."Like I said, they're pushing their luck, I'm going to let you deal with it, but make sure no one goes down that hall in case anything else gets thrown out of room until that pillow fight ends." she said and I nodded in agreement to that one as she left and we listened to what the kids were talking about now, knowing one of them was going to get it going in five seconds again.

"Alright, guys before this goes any further, we need to take it down a bit otherwise they're going to come back in here, so wait till the game tonight before we start this alright." Jennifer said and we looked at each other at that one. "This could turn into a pillow fight tonight if this keeps up." he said and I nodded. "If they want to fool around tonight let them go at it for a bit and than end it." I said to him and he nodded with a smile, as we moved away from the door and we started laughing at that, I hadn't heard her sound like that when it came to the others, but I could tell this was the part of her that nobody wanted to mess with if she lost her temper with the others, even if it was a playful warning to him to back off, but if this kept up she was going to let him have it soon.

"I've never seen them this wired before, does this happen every night around here?" I asked him and he nodded. "I've dealt with several pillow fights when it came to the boys and it winds up with the girls getting involved in it half the time, and I've wound up in the line of fire more than once when that happens, but in this case, I think he's over doing it in the case of Kristen." he said and I nodded in agreement to that statement, but before I could say anything I heard another blow come out of the room.

"Kincaid, you're pushing your luck here." I heard her say and then heard his answer to that. "What are you going to do about it, sis?" he said to her and then we heard several more blows come out of the room in answer to that as we heard Philip and I could tell he was trying to keep from laughing as he answered Kincaid' statement over what just went on in there.

"You had to ask, haven't you ever heard that statement 'ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer', man take it down a bit will you, before she takes you apart, cuz take it down a notch." Philip said to him. "Hey I'm not the one making the wise guy remarks here Phil, wasn't that what your dad used to say when mom and Uncle James started going at it?" I heard her ask and I heard a chuckle. "Yeah and to repeat that Kin, you keep it up and you're asking to get smacked harder than you are already, now ease up will you." he said and Max and I started laughing at that as we looked at each other.

"I think he started something here, because I haven't seen him like this with a new member of the group before." Max said and I looked at him. "Yeah well if we're right, then he's the one she was closest to when they were little, and this happened every time they were together." I said and he nodded as we shifted position to get out of range in case another pillow went flying.

"Listen wise guy keep it up and you are going to get it." I heard Kristen say to him. "You want to start something here?" he asked her and the answer was another five blows with the pillow as I tried to keep from laughing as I listened to this. "Man talk about rhetorical questions, I haven't seen them this wired in months, I saw the pillow getting thrown out the door as well." Walter said as he came to join us and I looked at him.

"In this case, I think it's going to go for that 'stupid question, stupid answer' phase, because the one who just smacked him in there was Kristen." I told him and he started laughing at that. "Barely two days in and already they're acting like they're ten years old here." he said and I nodded in agreement to that. "I'm not sure yet, but I think they were raised together to trigger this type of bond that fast, especially if they are fooling around like this." I said and he nodded as he got a better look at the floor and the amount of water on it before looking at me with an amused look on his face.

"Is there a reason for why the floor looks like someone flooded a bathroom?" he asked and Max nodded as he went into that. "They got into a water fight and were fooling around with the hose in there before this pillow fight started." he said and Walter nodded as he started laughing at that. "Who left the hose out in the open last night?" I asked and he smiled and I knew he was also finding this as funny as we were as he answered me."Jake did, and I can take a guess of what caused that water fight. I didn't see this coming when she joined the group here." he said and I nodded in agreement to that.

"Best guess is they were raised together before their separation, and now the next question why they were separated and what caused the separation, because it's obvious they got a very strong bond and if what Erin said was true we're looking at their toddler gang being reunited with each other." I said and he nodded as he smiled as we listened to what was going on in there.

"If they were raised together, then I think it's taking things a bit too far here, I mean them fooling around when Jesse was still here was one thing, but with Kristen added to the group, it just turned into a three ring circus and if this keeps up someone is going to wind up getting hit in the head with whatever object was thrown out the door just now." he said and we nodded in agreement to that one, but before I could say anything, I heard several more blows come out of the room.

"Kincaid, you are really pushing your luck here, did that last answer to your question not tell you to back off just now?" she asked and then heard him answer that. "No, I don't think it did sis, besides you started it." he said to her and then I heard Taryn step into it at that. "No you started it and I'm finishing it." she said and then heard several more blows come out of the room, and we tried to keep from laughing at that as we looked at each other. "Alright that is it, you want to go at it, fine." I heard Kristen say to him and then heard multiple blows come out of the room and then another pillow was thrown out of the door followed by a second one.

"Guys cool it already." Will said and I heard Kristen a minute later. "He started it." she said and the next response started another bickering match. "No I didn't." Kincaid said and then she responded to that. "Yes you did." she said and I could tell he was about to start laughing as he answered that. "No I didn't." he said and that got things started as a minute later the bickering match started. "Did" Didn't" "Did" "Didn't" "Did" Didn't" we heard as we heard several smacks as it kept up and I was holding in my laughter at that knowing the bickering matches were being added to the pillow fight now before we heard Will a minute later. "I don't care who started it, I'm ending it now cool it already." Will said and we started laughing at that as I looked at the others.

"Oh yeah, they are definitely acting like they are brothers and sisters." I said as Walter started laughing a second time. "Well whoever started it is on the edge of getting it here, they need to take it down a few notches before they get it." Max said smiling. "I didn't think I'd hear that type of bickering match in the middle of a pillow fight, if this keeps up we are going to have to run as mediators before this turns into a war-zone." Walter said and I nodded as another pillow went flying out the door in answer to that statement as it hit Max and he looked at me. "Alright who hit me with that?" he asked and I shrugged before I got the answer to that question a minute later.

'Oops, aw man, now I'm really going to get it.' I heard her say and tried to keep from laughing as I answered him. " I think she was the one who threw that pillow out the door." I said and he nodded as he smiled."Well she just caught it from me tonight." he said and I nodded in agreement, " Kiddo, you keep this up and you're going to catch it from both of us, now watch it." I thought to her gently as I heard another smack as the bickering match started a second time and the swings started coming faster till I heard Taryn a minute later.

"I don't care who started this, I'm ending it, now Kincaid cool it already." I heard her say and in answer to her statement I heard another smack and started laughing at that as I heard her tone turn dangerous as well as playful as she answered that."Listen smart alec, you keep this up and you are going to get it." I heard from Taryn and a minute later I heard several more blows come out of there followed by another pillow being thrown out of the room. "Kincaid, you are asking for it right now." Kristen said and I could hear the laughter in his voice as he answered that.

"What are you going to do about sis?" he asked and the answer was a few more blows. "Guys take it down a bit here." I heard from Will and the answer was another blow. "Geez, I haven't heard them like this in months." Walter said and we both nodded at that. "Erin said they were raised together, but this could mean she found the sextet finally here, if they're reacting like this." I said and he nodded as he answered me.

"I remember what her mother looked like at this age, as well as the sextet, but their parents were friends of mine for thirty years, when I said I saw Nancy eight years ago I wasn't kidding, her mother introduced me to a little seven year old blond haired blue eyed girl and she reacted to my hug like she recognized it, but how?" he asked I shrugged."I think he's overdoing it with her, because the way she said that sounded like she was about to break down laughing there, but he's asking to get smacked harder than he is right now if he keep it up with her." Max said and I nodded in agreement to that, before I could say anything I heard another blow at that.

"Ow, alright whatever I said, I take it back Kris." I heard Kincaid say to her, before hearing a secondary blow. "Alright you win Taryn, enough already." he added and we started laughing at that. "Like I said 'ask a stupid question/get a stupid answer' bro, lay off the rhetorical questions, before they beat you senseless, alright." Philip said and we exchanged looks at that as we tried to keep from laughing.

"I think his wise guy statements are making it harder to control that impulse, because if this keeps up, there is going to be a big blowout in there." I said and he nodded as we got out of range in case something was thrown out the door next at us, "So is this going to start something here." Kincaid said to Jennifer as three of us were getting ready to leave the hall and we heard another smack and it started going back and forth as we were moving away from that section of the hall to get out of range, but just as we left the hallway I heard a thunk, turned around and saw another pillow lying there.

"Someone's throwing those across the room in there." he said and I nodded as we decided to get out of the hallway in case another one went flying out the door, as we started moving away I heard another thunk and hid a smile as we got into the main hall to keep an eye on things. "How many pillows do we keep in there at a time, with the fact we've had five get thrown out the door so far, and I don't doubt this is going to keep up?" I asked and he answered that with a smile.

"There's about twenty or twenty five in the locker room next to the desk, and we don't keep it locked either, so they are using that for the ammunition in there, I'm just glad those things are made of cotton otherwise this is going to get turned into a beat down next." he said and I nodded in agreement to that opinion as we watched things from the hall."Is there anything else in there that we need to be worried about?" I asked and he shook his head as he explained that.

"It's used for the bed stuff and with seven teenagers it just became the weapons locker room for this pillow fight going on in there at the moment." he said and I nodded as I thought that one through as we heard this pillow fight going on and with a group of teenagers who were, from the looks of it family, about to start a major pillow fight in there and it was going to turn into a war zone on the floor.

"Well so far we've seen six or seven go flying out of the room and they're getting the ammunition from the locker room, and if this keeps up someone in your staff is going to get beaned if they go into that hall, so we need to keep anyone from going in there till it ends for now." I said and he nodded in agreement as a member of his staff came up to us, but as he was doing it another went flying out the door and he ducked as it flew into the wall as he came to join us as we were talking about this.

"What's going on over there?" he asked and I turned to him. "The kids started a pillow fight in Kincaid and Philip's room, and we've had several thrown out of the room, tell the rest of the group in your staff to stay out of the hall till that pillow fight ends, Jeff." I said and he nodded with a smile and I knew he was finding this just as funny as we were now as he left. "Ow, hey, watch where you aim that." I heard Philip say. "You smacked me, and that's the payback Pinocchio." I heard from Kincaid and that did it as I heard the next remark as I heard a several smacks break out in there as Philip answered that.

"Alright that's it, you want it come and get it." I heard Philip say and then it started coming even faster as several more blows started coming out of there followed by another pillow and then another one went flying and we were trying to keep from laughing as we listened to all of this."Someone starts the pillow fight and now they're being thrown out of the room, what next?" Max asked and I tried to figure it out what caused the first one to get thrown out of the room as well as the second one.

"I think he tried to start going at her and she threw that pillow at him and he ducked and it went flying over his head when that happened. He keeps this up, and she is going to beat him senseless with those things." I said and he nodded as we moved into the main hall in sight of the bedroom, in case things started escalating in there, since if he was this gentle with her sooner or later it was going to turn into a full blown one in about five minutes in there as well. "You test his patience, you're testing mine and now you're going to get it." I heard Kristen say as we heard multiple blows then at that.

"I haven't heard them, let alone seen them like this in months, what triggered this?" Jeff asked as he came back to join us after giving out the order, and I smiled as I went into that. "Not sure yet, but I think the seven of them grew up together before they met up now and if that is the case, I think she found her brothers and sisters if they are fooling around like this." I said and he nodded as Max looked at me as he tried to keep from laughing as he answered that as we were listening to this, and I knew he was thinking the same thing I was after watching these kids all morning and afternoon.

"If the two of them were like this when they were little, I'm sure she is trying to keep from beating him to death with that pillow." he said and I nodded as I tried to keep from laughing at the way he put that. "Their bond is growing stronger every hour and they are getting a bit too jumpy and if this keeps up it's going to lead to the floor turning into circus next, so we better makes sure it doesn't go too far." I said and he nodded as he looked at me on that statement. "You call me actress one more time and you're losing your head pal watch it." I heard Jennifer say and I knew he took the bait on that.

"What are you going to do about it Actress?" he asked and I heard three blows all at once at that. "That answer your question, I've said it once before, ask a stupid question/get a stupid answer, lay off the rhetorical questions Kin before the girls beat you senseless here." Philip said and the five of us exchanged amused looks at that as Max said my thoughts out loud at what we just heard between them.

"You get the feeling this turned into a madhouse even though it's only been a few hours?" he asked me and I nodded with a smile, as I thought it over, since if this got triggered it meant our patients were raised together and they found each other again finally after several years of separation.

"I knew the kids had grown close after what went on last night, but I wasn't expecting this at all, if this really has to do with their bond, it means that they have found each other again, and one of them started something and now its lead to this, we need to stay out of range otherwise we're going to get caught in the cross-fire." I said and he nodded as we looked at each other as I listened to what was going on in Kincaid's room, and if I was right about this, it meant my newest patient had found the rest of her brothers and sisters, and if it was the same for her connection with Nancy she had found her entire surrogate family if she was recovering this quickly from that collapse the day before, and we just had to keep from separating them for the time she was my patient here.

"I think this is going to be getting a bit out a of hand tonight before they go to bed, let's keep things from going too far for now." I said to him and he nodded, before we heard it again. "Good grief, with the way this is going it's going to get started before they crash for the night." he said as we heard another one. "I get the feeling that with the water fight it just started something in there." I said and he nodded as we waited for them to go at it as we listened to the rest of the conversation as it kept up, just as I finished saying that another one flew out the door followed by a couple more blows.

"Guys take it down a notch alright." I heard Will say before I saw another pillow go flying out the door in answer to that as whatever was going on in there started escalating and it started sounding like Kincaid and Kristen were going at in there before Philip got involved."Alright, you two, cool it." Jennifer said to them before I heard the next statement. "You really want to start something here, actress, because this is about to start heating up." I heard from Kincaid and in answer to that statement.

"Alright wise guy, you asked for it and now you're going to get it." she said and then I heard several more blows and it started coming even faster. After a minute we heard a few more blows before another pillow went flying out the door and it kept up for a while as we listened to this. As we went over this Nancy walked over as we heard two more blows and she looked at me."What's going on in there?" she asked and I looked at her.

"Kincaid started a pillow fight in there, and they are really going at it in there at the moment, I think our theory about them is right, because I've never seen them this jumpy." I said and she nodded as she started laughing."Tina, Rod, Glen and I were like this when we were their age, and it tended to lead to the pillows winding up in the hallway as well when our parents were coming to check on us, if Rod said something smart to Tina it resulted in the pillow getting thrown out of the room when we were twelve and it once got thrown over the railing and landed on my father when we were thirteen." she said and we both started laughing at that as she asked what caused it.

"So what did he do to trigger that?" she asked and Max answered that one. "He's teasing her into beating him senseless with those things and I don't doubt that the girls and Philip got involved in it, because it sounds like a heard of elephants is running around in there at the moment." he said and she started laughing at that. "You want me to take care of it?" she asked and I gave a shake of my head.

"We nearly wound up in the cross fire already, and I don't want you getting hit if another goes flying out of the room." I said and she nodded."If they're like this, chances are they grew up together, and if I'm right they all grew up on the same block if they are having those nightmares and are connected to each other like that, and at the moment I'm trying to figure out how she managed to get attached to me that fast, because this bond feels like it's more than a normal one, with what I just found out about our parents." she said and we both nodded as I listened to what was going on in there.

"If they did grow up together, then the bond is overdoing it at the moment, because if this keeps up someone is going to drag things out and start a water or pillow fight in the hallway next." I said and she nodded as Max answered that one in agreement."With the way things are going, I'm sure that a second one will get started if this keeps up and I haven't seen them this wired in three months." he said as we heard it again, and saw another pillow go flying out the door and then heard the next blow and then heard it about five more times before we heard Will and he sounded like he was about to start laughing as he ended it.

"Alright you guys enough already, you can mess around tonight, but hold off before we all get busted." he said and we started laughing at that. "Yep, let them go at it tonight and then end it." I said to him and he nodded."I think their bond really started something here, because this is getting ridiculous." he said with a chuckle as a pillow went flying out the door in answer to that and I tried to keep from laughing at that at as I nodded as I watched them from our area and knew that if their bond had reached this, than there was a real chance they had grown up together and now it was going in the direction of them acting like they were ten rather than fifteen.

"I think that answers your statement Max, Kincaid ducked that one as she threw it." Nancy said with a chuckle."I'm pretty sure if this means what I think it does than they did find each other again, and for some reason that connection she has with me is even stronger than it should be and it's the same for Kincaid and Joey, but I can't figure out why, because my memories of that area are gone." she said to me and I nodded.

"Best guess is that your parents were probably friends and when they find out about this they are going to get a shock that you've found each other again, especially if whatever landed them in here has to do with your families personal past." I said and she nodded. "Yeah, well, either way it looks like this could get even more out of hand than it has already if their bond has caused them to act this crazy." she said and we nodded in agreement to that. A minute later I heard Kristen answer that statement and knew if she could do that than our bond had grown stronger than I thought even though it had only been a few hours since she had arrived.

"Alright we really need to take a break here." she told them and I smiled at that. "I think she is taking the role of the group leader here." I told him and he nodded, as we waited for the next issue to come up in there and a couple minutes later it did as we heard the next one shoot through the entire group as we heard another smack and that triggered the chain reaction in there. A minute later we heard fourteen more in rapid succession before we heard her a second time over that and I could tell she was trying to keep from laughing so much after what happened in there.

"Alright cool it, we need to take a break before this goes and winds up in the hallway next, we'll play around tonight, but we need to end this now." she said and we were both were trying to keep from laughing at that one as we listened to them. "What the heck was that in there?" Max asked and Nancy, who I could tell was about to start laughing, went into that one. "One of them caused a chain reaction after hitting him or her with that pillow." she said and he nodded as we looked at each other at that as I tried to think this over. "Were you guys like this as kids?" I asked her and she nodded.

"If I'm right on my bond with the seven of them, I think I was an older sister to them thirteen years ago, if our parents were that close, but the memory is being held back for some reason right now." she said and I nodded. "With the way they are together best guess is your parents probably raised you together, and if that's the case I think she found you guys again if she's healing up this fast from that collapse, because going by the looks of this it just gave her a serious burst of adrenaline." I said and she nodded as Max answered that one.

"If it is, the power surge going through her is getting out of control because she's been bouncing off the walls all morning, and sooner or later it's going to crash and I'm not taking that chance, Adams said not say or do anything to cause her to have a relapse and if anything happens she could have it, which, with the way things are going, Simms is going to mistake a minor argument between the kids for a real fight and say it in front of her, and it could cause her to have another panic attack." he said and she nodded.

"Well we're going to head that off no matter what and as for those nightmares, they have to do with that blasted house that model is based off of." she said and we both looked at her at that, but before I could say anything I heard a few more smacks in there and started laughing as I commented on that but before I could I heard Kristen and knew she was holding in her laughter as she tried to take on a stern tone with them.

"Guys we need to cool it here, before they come back in here and we get it so enough already." Kristen said to them and I tried to keep from laughing at that as I looked at them with a smile as Max looked back at me, "I thought they ended it?" he asked and she smiled. "Kincaid doesn't know when to quit apparently, because she is about ready to smack him at this point." she said and just as she finished saying we heard a couple of blows come out of there and then heard her again.

"Kin, you keep this up and I'm going to smack you so hard you are going to lose your head, now watch it and enough already." I heard her say and started laughing at that as I looked at Nancy who had a smile on her face as I exchanged looks with Max who was trying to keep from laughing at what we just heard come out of that room. "You called it." I said and she smiled. "Geez this is like dealing with Rod and Tina when they don't know when to quit." she said and I hid a smile as I answered that as I looked at the door and waited for the next blow or pillow thrown.

"Kin, I like that, looks like they're going with new nick names for each other now." she said and I smiled. "Kincaid's been using his last name for the last few months, but if your parents were close that may have been his father's nick name and it resurfaced now, the next question is where did hers come from, and how did they know to call her that." I said and she nodded, before she could answer I heard several more blows come out of there and started laughing as I heard her remark to Kincaid.

" Kin what did I just say, to repeat that last statement keep that up and I'm going to smack you, got it?" she said and got the following a minute later, " Got it Kris, just don't take my head off will ya." he said and we started laughing at that one as I responded to that as I tried to keep it in, as I looked at the others who had amused looks at that."If this is what they were like as preschoolers, than I think their bond over did it because this is getting ridiculous." I said and he nodded with agreement as we waited for the next thing to pop up in there and then I heard the same statement from Kristen and tried to keep from laughing at that as we heard her talking to Philip on that one.

"If this is what we were like as preschoolers, than I think our bond over did it, because this is getting out of hand here, and I don't doubt that Max and Dr. Gordon are listening to this and are trying to keep from breaking from laughing so much." I heard her day and then the rest of the kids agree with that one and we exchanged looks on that one.

"I'd like to know how she knew we were listening to this." he said and I smiled since I knew she had grown closer to me if she could read us both that easily now as I said this to him. "I think our bonds with her are stronger than we thought now if she can read us that easily." I said and he nodded in agreement.

"What are the chances of our reverting to what we were like when we were little because this is getting out of hand, I mean you've barely been here for two days and already we are acting younger than we really are here." Philip said to her and I hid a smile on that one, since he was right and I was finding this incredibly funny as well, since I hadn't seen the others that wound up in several months.

"One more reason to head things off before this gets out of hand and Kincaid try to start that again and I will beat you senseless with that pillow." I heard Taryn say and hid a smile at that as Kristen replied to that statement with a slight smile in her voice."To repeat what I said before that happened, we are taking a break and holding off till tonight before bed time, because this has caused our energy levels to go through the roof here and we need to get it out of our system before that happens a second time." she said and I was about to start laughing at that as Max looked at me with a smile on his face.

"Sounds like she agrees with you on that one of them acting like they're preschoolers again and more than likely she told them they needed to dial it down and it's about to lead to something else next." he said and I nodded as we waited for another reaction of pillows slamming into someone as this went on, but after five minutes and nothing I knew it settled and we relaxed slightly as we waited for the next stunt going on in there.

"I think that with the previous remark it lead to a full blown chain reaction if she had to say that, and with that, we have to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand before the day is over." I said and he nodded. "I think it ended for now, but I don't doubt that this is going to continue, since they are bouncing off the walls like they have taken in too much sugar and if it keeps up that pillow fight is going to wind up in the hallway next." he said and I nodded as we kept an eye on things from the safety of our corner.

" We haven't seen them this wired in three months and suddenly they're bouncing off the walls, it's too bad we don't have a pool here, they could have drained some energy fooling around in there, but if this keeps up it's going to be going on all day, see if you can get them to take it down a few notches at dinner, but let them go at it tonight before they go to bed." I said to him and he nodded as whatever was going on in the room ended as we saw several paper balls go flying out the door and it started again.

"Here we go again, last night right after the food fight ended, Philip and Kincaid nearly started a water fight in the cafeteria and Kristen put a hold on it, and now she is getting involved in their messing around." he said and I nodded in agreement. "I think she took the role of the ring leader in the group here, and with the issue of dealing with Kincaid and his wise guy statements, it just turned into a teenage prank fight." I said as we watched them fooling around, knowing this was healing her up and I wasn't interfering with their way of emotional therapy then.

"Alright so far she's gaining some energy, but I'm not taking chances here, whatever caused her energy levels to go off the scale right now has to do with them acting like this and they're all bouncing off the walls, so what the heck is causing it?" Walter asked and I thought it over. "I'm not sure here, but if they were raised together, I think that maybe the reason behind this and their bond is causing this, if I'm right she just got a slight boost if it reached this point, but we still need to keep an eye on that, Nancy did you see any pictures at her house that had their parents photos or anything of theirs in it?" I asked and I could tell she was thinking it over.

"I saw a photo of a group of people and I recognized eight of them, but I can't remember the others at all." she said and I nodded as I looked at her to ask about it. "Who were they?" I asked and she went into that. "Two of them were my parents and the others were the Lantzes, Lanes and Greys, and they looked around twenty seven to twenty eight years old as well, one of them was her mother, and the others must have the other members of their gang, but I can't remember their names or whose kid is whose here, but it was obvious she knew who I was, because she was pretty evasive as I was asking questions on what happened the other night." she said and I nodded as I got what she was telling me.

"That would be around the time they started their careers, if that was what that group photo was, did you see any others?" I asked and she nodded gently. "Yeah, I saw several photos of a group of kids, and four were me and my friends, and the other seven were them, and one of them was of me as an eight year old and showed me holding her when she was two, another showed my father holding her and the third was a group of eleven people, two being my parents and the others were her mother and probably the guys parents, because I saw a two year old version of Kincaid and Joey, with Kristen between them and me holding her, with our parents right behind us in that picture there."

"I also saw a black man who looked like an older version of Kincaid and another who looked like Joey, but I can't remember either of them, and my father was standing between them and her mother with his arm around her, so my guess is their fathers, mine and her mother were really close friends, which might explain her bond with me and the boys, but I'm not entirely sure yet." she said and I nodded as I thought that one over. "Any chance of your bond with them being a sibling one?" I asked and she nodded.

"I think so, but I'm not entirely sure here, because if it is I think this is going to add on to the healing process if her father did do something." she said and I nodded in agreement to that as Max answered that. "If he did he's in big trouble, I take the kids emotional well-being seriously during a physical recovery and this just got added on to it." he said and I looked at him. "See if you can get her to open up to you about that tonight alright." I said and he nodded as we kept an eye on things before things started.

"Adams said her father took off on her when they were twelve, and going by that her feelings for us are getting deeper if she relaxed this fast." I said and he nodded. "At this point he did more damage to her than he thinks, because that's going to be her biggest fear now." Nancy said grimly and Jeff looked at her at that. "What do you mean?" he asked and she went into that and I knew this was something I was going to have to work through when I heard it. "Going by that photograph she thought of my father as an adoptive father, because Richard was never around much back than and with the fact that we were probably separated and just found each other again it's going to cause several more problems at this rate, if something happens this week."

"Because she's afraid someone else she cares about is going to leave her and if they did find each other, she's afraid something is going to happen to them as well as me at this point, and this is because of his abandoning her, and I think they just drained her anger of his leaving out of her this way as well." she said and we nodded. "In that case, he's not going near her any more." Jeff said with a dangerously firm voice. "Easy kid, don't lose you temper here, we have to be sure of this right now." Max said to him gently and he nodded as we heard them talking.

While I was thinking this I noticed the kids went back into the bathroom for something. "What the heck are they doing in there?" Jake asked as he came to join us as I caught the look on Nancy's face and knew she was figuring out what was going on in the bathroom as I heard the faucet running, several plastic squeaks and knew something was about to happen. "I'm not sure, but if this is going where I think it is they are all asking for it right now, and they know the consequences if we get hit with what they're fooling around with." Max said and I nodded in agreement to that.

"Didn't you say that the corporal punishment for that was a round of tickle torture?" she asked and we both nodded. " Well whatever they plan to do in there, it's about to be used on the duo, if they keep going at it like this, I think I know where this is going though." she said and I looked at the guys to ask the next question. "Anyone leave anything else other than the hose lying out in the open last night?" I asked and they shook their heads as Nancy asked the next question, and I could read the look on her face as she said it as she looked at us.

"Anyone keep any rubber or latex gloves in that bathroom by any chance?" she asked and I looked at her before I realized what she meant as I heard a explosion and a splash. "Somebody started a water balloon fight in there this time." Jeff said and I nodded as another one went flying out the bathroom door this time and hit the wall, "To repeat that last statement on the pillows, stay out of the hall till it ends, otherwise we're going to get drenched." I said and the five of them nodded.

"Should we put an end to this?" Walter asked and I gave a shake of my head as I tried to keep from laughing at this as I watched them. "No, at the moment they've got too much energy going through them, and they need to get it out of their systems before they all blow, but after that ends someone get a mop into that hall so no one slips after things cooled down, and I think we better let them go at it for a while, because I don't doubt this is going to continue tonight as well before they go to bed." I said and he nodded as we heard several explosions in there before another went flying out the door and into Kincaid's room as I heard another one.

"I really hope they got a second change of clothes for this, otherwise someone is going to be in their pj's for the rest of the day." Jake said and I nodded in agreement as this kept up. 'Kiddo, you need to take a break, because you are on the edge of getting it here.' I thought to myself as I hid a smile as I just added this to the penalties for that session I was going to give her that night before I left.

Just as I finished thinking that one of them went flying down the hall and we quickly dodged as I heard a clang and a splash and turned to see what it hit this time and saw the elevator door with water running down it and the other staff members looking back at me with amused looks on their faces at this, before anyone could say anything another one came flying at me and I quickly ducked as it hit the door a second time, a minute later the door opened and Jenkins came out of it with an amused look at that.
