Disclaimer: I don't know if I technically own anyone in here, but I put in some parents. I scrambled lives, too, so it's kinda weird, but remember, it's just fiction. I got the idea from Airborne (kinda) and I don't own that either, just on tape. lol I have no clue what some of the parents really look like so I made it up and I do not know some of the parents names, so I made up some of them, too.

Adam and Jay headed upstairs to put their stuff away in the bedroom, just to keep it out of the way, as Gregory unloaded the dishwasher for some clean silverware. Adam and Jay were just coming back down the stairs when the sound of the van pulling back up in the driveway and loud rock music filtered in the house through the open windows. Adam and Jay both figured that it was Jaime and "the boys" as she called them. The music cut off abruptly as the car was parked and Jaime entered the house through the creeky screen door seconds later.
The sound of the downstairs door slamming shut was heard soon after. Jaime smiled and gave her husband a kiss, gathering a couple plastic wrapped plastic forks and spoons from the drawer by the sink. "The boys already went downstairs. I didn't know what you guys liked so I got you some rice, wontons and lemon chicken." she smiled, handing both boys a styrofoam carry-out boxes, "You can go join them if you want. They won't bite...you."
"Thank you, Mrs. Helms." Jay said, peering into his box, "I'll take those down to them." he referred to the plastic silverware.
"Thanks, dear. There should be some sodas downstairs, if Gregory didn't already tell you. Help yourself to anything and don't let those guys scare you off. As a matter of fact, let me go down with you boys and introduce them to you so you get the REAL names. Last time, Shane's cousin came in and they all gave him wrong names; poor boy had no clue where he was."
A loud shriek was heard, accompanied by the door slamming again downstairs that Jaime passed off as an everyday occurance as she grabbed a roll of paper towels and led Jay and Adam outside. Jaime knocked on the door to the basement with her one empty hand.
"WHO IS IT?" a voice sounded from within.
"Momma." Jaime replied, pushing the door open.
Adam was almost sure that his ears had popped as he and Jay walked inside the living room. The television had been turned on pretty loud on some music station and there seemed to be constant laughter and screaming from the five boys who sat in numerous places in the room as they argued over whose food was whose. Jaime gave a shrill whistle on her fingers, quieting them all down, and causing them to look at her and try to control their laughter.
"Boys, this is Adam. And this is Jay. They're my friend from Canada's kids. They'll be staying here for the summer. Adam, Jay, this is my son Shane and his friend Matt..." she introduced, pointing to two boys who were still silently fighting over a box of food on the couch.
"...that's Jeff and Chris. Chris decided last minute to come over, other wise I would have told you about him, he used to live in Canada, as well." Jaime pointed to two boys sitting on the couch who were trying beyond death to keep from laughing.
"...And that's Shannon." she introduced the last one, a bouncey blonde who had somehow found himself sitting atop both Jeff and Chris, giggling uncontrollably.
"Ignore the laughter, you'll get used to it." Jaime said, "Guys, I want you to be nice to Jay and Adam and treat them just like they had been here forever. That includes inviting them to go with you and doing things that they want to do."
Shannon gingerly raised his hand.
"Yes, Shannon, you will have to give up your couch if one of them wants to sleep there." Jaime cleared up for him without even having to ask. Shannon sulked a bit until Jeff poked him in the side, emmiting another loud shriek.
Jaime smiled, tossing the boys their silverware and heading upstairs. Adam and Jay felt a bit uncomfortable, to say the least. Shane seemed to have noticed cause he called, "Come sit down" as the fighting for the food started up again. Jay and Adam tentively took seats on the smaller couch on the other side of the room.
"Guys, scoot down so they can sit on the couch." Matt said, shoving Chris hard in the ribs to indicate his point that there was still a bit more room on the large couch. In the end, Shannon ended up plopping to the floor, complaining loudly before Jeff scooted over a bit for him.
Matt got up and took a seat on the smaller couch, pulling Shane along with him in politeness to their guests. "So, where you guys from again?" he asked.
"From Canada." Jay replied, opening his box of Chinese food, "Our parents went to Austrilia for the summer."
"The Land Down Under!" Shannon said, causing himself to laugh more, "Land of Kangaroos and Dungos!"
The others couldn't help but laugh as Jeff hit Shannon on the back of the head, "Dingos, you idiot, DINGOS!!" he corrected.
"Whatever." Shannon replied, stabbing a pair of chopsticks into some kind of noodles and chicken. He lifted the chopsticks to eye-level, attempting to het the very end of the noodles into his mouth, but it wasn't working to well, especially when Chris hit him in the back, causing nearly the whole thing to fall onto Shannon's lap.
Shannon glared, flicking a peice of chicken at him, hitting Chris square in the jaw. Giggling more, he pulled Jeff in front of him for safety. Adam looked on, amused, as he shook his head and started on his fried rice. "How long have you guys known each other?" he finally asked.
Jay looked kind of shocked that Adam had even spoken, but Chris seemed to find the time (between eating and pulling Shannon's hair, that is) to give an answer. "I moved about six years ago, when I was eight."
"I was nine when I met Shane." Matt replied, "Jeff had to have been six; Shannon about five, maybe four. Jeff's my brother; known him all his life."
"I met Shannon when my daddy started to watch him after school cause his momma worked. I think he was around three. I remember cause he fell off the monkey bars at the school." Jeff said.
"You pushed me!" Shannon retorted.
"I did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"DID TOO!"
Shane shook his head, laughing, "Shut up! Either way, Shannon was a baby. Hell, still is."
"Am not!"
"Shane, don't get him started. PLEASE." Chris pleaded, wiping a loose peice of rice from his mouth as he watched Shannon fire up for a fight.
"I am not! I'm not a baby!" Shannon shrieked.
Adam laughed, half expecting Shannon to stomp his foot next.
"Alright, we all believe you." he stated.
Shannon glared at Shane one more time before taking a seat on the couch again. He crossed his arms around his chest, basically forgetting about his food. Not five minutes later, he shifted positions, shifting again, and again, then again, the last time, kneeing Jeff in the side, causing him to spill some of his food.
"Shannon, what do you want?" Jeff asked, picking up the fallen peices of food and putting them in an ashtray on the table.
"I'm...I wanna...let's DO something!" Shannon complained, shifting again and narrowly missing connecting his knee with Jeff's forehead.
"You're bored." Shane said simply.
"No, I'm just not hungry and I wanna go out and do something. Like, go to the arcade or to a movie or something cause curfew is in a couple of hours."
"We've got six hours, Shann!" Matt smiled.
"So?"
"Well, it's kinda up to Adam and Jay in the first place." Shane said.
Jay shifted alittle, feeling eyes on him. He noticed Adam divert his eyes to the ground as well.
"Well...uh... we don't really know what's around here, why don't you guys just pick. You guys have definately been here longer than us." Jay saved.
Shannon smirked, throwing his hand in the air, "I KNOW A PLACE!"
"Do they allow you there?" Chris joked.
"Yes, I'm not stupid enough to go into a place I'm not allowed." Shannon argued.
"What about that field?" Shane asked.
"Or Judy's?" Matt added.
"Or that time you dragged us to that lady's yard?" Jeff added, "Or-"
"ALRIGHT!" Shannon said loudly, "Alright, I get the point/ But, yes, I can go there."
