Chapter 11

[A/N-So, I hope you guys are ok with this, but I decided to add Junjie in this at some point. Not yet, though. On with the story!]

Jules groaned as she fell onto her bed, head first. For the past few days, it had been non-stop training, and she was exhausted. Just thinking about preparing for the battle that was coming up was making her tire. With a moan, she got up as her slug Pippy jumped onto her shoulder.

"Hey, Jules! Come down here!" her blond sibling yelled from the living room. The brunette moaned.

"All right, all right, I'm coming!" she yelled back. She very slowly made her way down the stairs, causing her sister to get annoyed at her. Jules smirked at this, but she decided to hurry up. She jumped off the third stair up, landing on the ground with a 'thud.' She nonchalantly made her way to the gang with her arms crossed behind her head. Boredom was written all over her face, causing Kord to chuckle a little.

"Looks like we picked a good time," he said, leaving the youngest of the group confused. She raised a brow, letting her curiosity show as she looked to her older sister for an explanation. Kay gave her a closed eye smile.

"We agreed that we all need a break, and we're going to go to the movies. Want to come?" the blond asked her sister, already knowing the answer. Jules did a quick happy dance, causing her slug to hang onto her slinger's shoulder for dear life.

"Yes! Thank you!" Jules said as she pulled Kay into a bear hug.

"Need…air…" Kay stuttered, causing the gang to laugh. Jules let go of her sister.

"Eh, you still love me."

"Sure."

"Hey!" Jules glared daggers at her sister, but it was turned with a smirk.

"I'm just kidding!" Kay pulled her sister into a head lock and ruffled her hair. Jules stood there with a pout, blushing from embarrassment. She hated it when her sister did things like this. It seemed that her sister loved to embarrass her in any way she could, which only made the brunette more annoyed.

"Ah, sibling love. It's such a sweet thing," Pronto stated dramatically. Kay and Jules froze and looked up at him, raising a brow. Kay let go of Jules.

"Eh, it's ok…I guess," Jules said with a shrug. She turned to look at her sister with a smug look on her face, only for it to be wiped off from her sister's death glare. She hated it when her sister looked at her like that.

"Well, let's go guys. As much as I'd love to see another one of your amusing fights, I'd prefer to see that movie," Eli stated with a chuckle. Kay turned and looked at him, giving him an 'are-you-serious?-you-are-so-dead' look. Eli nervously scratched the back of his head nervously before he ran out the door.

"Oh no. Here we go," Trixie sighed. She watched Kay run after Eli, yelling angrily at him to come back. Ever since the 'Half-Bane' sisters had joined their gang, they had put a little more life into the Shane Gang, amusing them with the smallest of things. Especially when Eli made Kay mad at him, and he seemed to do that often.

"Shouldn't we help him?" Pronto asked as he pointed towards the door. Kord and Trixie shook their head, while Jules once again crossed her arms behind her back with a bored expression on her face.

"We probably should. I don't know how long Eli's going to last," Jules said nonchalantly. They all suddenly her a blaster being fired, and turned towards the door. Trixie and Kord exchanged looks while Pronto ran out the door to see what had happened.

"Uh, guys? Kay tied Eli onto a mushroom with an Arachnet. It's actually pretty funny," Pronto said as he turned back to his friends with a grin. Now, this they had to see. They all walked outside, only to find Eli tied snugly to the fungi. Kay was leaning on the side of the tree with a smirk. Jules, Kord, and Pronto burst out laughing as Trixie took a picture with her camera. She giggled as Eli glared at her.

"Another one for the slugnet," Trixie muttered to herself.

"That's why you shouldn't mess with me, Shane," Kay whispered into his ear, causing his face to turn red.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side again," he mumbled.

"Bro, you said that last time," Kord chuckled. Kay cut Eli loose, and they walked to the garage. They all climbed onto their mechas, and they were soon on their way to movies. They talked about the battle coming up. According to Kay and Jules, they said that they still had a few months left to prepare. What they didn't know was how wrong they were.
