Hm...I think I have to get rid of a few characters...


Ke grabbed the bean-bag and threw it back at Carina.

"Well, wrong on all LEVELS is the only way to be INTERESTING!"

Cain watched as they threw the bean-bag chair back and forth. "What strange people…" he mumbled. Unfortunately, they both heard him.

"Shut up!"

Cain immediately jumped back and held up his hands in defense. "S-sorry."

Ke stood up and went to the door, "Well, I'm going to get cereal, and Cain, like I said, you're eating."

"…" Cain looked at her, confused.

"Tell me you know what cereal is!" Carina said. 'I swear to fucking God if he doesn't know what it is…I'm gonna strangle him!'

"Uhm…not exactly…"

Carina, sighed stood up and stated, clearly, "Take a deep breath. You won't be taking many others." She held out her hands and was about two inches from his neck when Ke flashed her a glare and said:

"Carina, if you DARE, I swear I will strangle YOU."

Cain laughed and stepped back. "Well, you two seem to be the BEST of friends!"

"Yeah, we actually are. It's just that…circumstances…beyond our control has led a lot of things to go whacky," Carina glared at him and left the room behind Ke.

"Sheesh, what a crab," Cain mumbled, running his hand through his dark hair.

"I heard that!" Carina yelled. Cain heard Ke say something quietly to her, it sounded like, "Don't wake up the whole house PLUS all of China!"

Back In Brighton, U.K.

Jo sat up and looked around. He saw that Dug had fallen asleep on one side of the large bed, and had left Michael tied to the middle.

He stretched and went to untie him.

"Hey, Stupid," he flicked Michael's head, waking him up. Michael opened his mouth to say something, but Jo held up his hand to stop him.

"Keep quiet and do as I say," Jo said fiercely.

Michael glared at him, but obeyed, as there was no way he'd be able to leave the place without being noticed, and even if he did, he'd be caught eventually. Obeying was the only thing he could do without getting a repeat of what happened just hours ago.

When Jo had Michael's hands tied behind his back, he sat back and leaned against the headboard.

"You know I did hear you…I wasn't sleeping…"

Michael looked at him, not glared, but a normal look. He showed no emotion.

"Was he rough?" Jo asked, turning bright red. NOW Michael was positively shocked.

Since Jo had been nice enough to leave the duct-tape off, he said, "…why?"

"N-no reason!" Jo said quickly. He got off the bed and went back to the sofa. " 'night," he said, laying back down.

Michael turned over, shifting his weight because he couldn't use his hands anymore.

"What a strange couple," he mumbled.

"We're NOT a couple!" Jo hissed, roughly punching the arm of the couch, apparently to make it a bit more comfortable. Michael couldn't help but laugh a little at that. 'What a liar…'

Ke's House: Two Hours Later…

"I'm glad no one's upset that they were woken a bit early," Ke said, looking at Amanda's and Becky's tired faces.

"Be lucky we don't strangle you right now," Becky said, glaring.

Ke laughed nervously, "I'm guessing you're not morning people."

Carina, in an attempt to chance the subject, spoke to Cain, loud enough so anyone could join the conversation. "Soooo…you excited to see your great, great, et cetera cuz there's WAY too many 'greats,' grandchildren?"

Cain laughed, "Yes, it should be quite interesting, shouldn't it?"

Amanda looked towards Becky, who was staring at the bowl of cereal on the small table in front of her.

"You guys are free to go back home if you want," Ke said, not looking at them and pulling a book from the shelf behind her.

Edwin looked up from his bowl and stared at her. "Why are you SO random?"

"Me? Ah, I don't know. I've always been random, Carina knows that. But I had a feeling that Amanda might have wanted to go home, and Becky hasn't been very happy since she arrived."

"Don't tell me what I have and haven't been," Becky snapped.

"Well, excuse me, but that's how you're acting right now." Ke still didn't look at her, but kept her eyes on the book, but Cain could tell she wasn't really reading it, because her eyes were glued to one spot in particular.

There was a long pause, Ke turned the page for effect, Edwin finished his cereal, as did Carina and Cain. Amanda had decided not to eat, though she said she was going to pick up something if they stopped somewhere on the way back from Cain's relatives' house.

"So," Ke finally broke the slightly eerie silence, "If you want to go home, go a-"

KA-BLAM!!
