My updates will be nearly every two days, so that's when you'll expect a next update, well that is until I start school which is in a few days. I'm scared sort of cause I'm starting school at a new campus, our school is really big and strict and is the third best out of wherever I live. I'm starting year ten and I've got some advance classes like Biology, I don't know if I'm smart enough. Anyway I better start this chapter.
Cause of the lack of info on Hockey I shall change the sport to Soccer

"How was school guys?" asked Lucy who was setting up the dinner table.
"Sucked," all the kids replied, getting ready for dinner.
"Dad's at school for the tryouts, so is Keith, Mai and Dan, but Mai doesn't play soccer, so why is she there?" asked Jack sitting down.
"Probably going to be helping her father, now tell me why your school day sucked?" she smiled looked at her grumpy kids.
"Just does, we miss our old home mum, we want to go back its just not the same," Butch put her head on her hand and started eating slowly.
Lucy smiled softly and continued eating thinking it might've been a mistake to move.

Mirage had to keep herself from laughing and snorting throughout the whole two hours of the tryouts, she had just realized that her dad got promoted to train a bunch of kids that couldn't play soccer if their lives depended on it, though an exception to her brothers, Dash, Kai, Tala and a the girl in her class Crystal.
Everyone was getting ready to leave and she skated up to her father (she had her rollerblades), "you're going to have so much trouble with this team, you're aren't going to find a very good goalie unless you train someone," Mirage skated around the rink, occasionally twirling and doing tricks.
"What I don't get is Mai, you play soccer with us, why won't you play for the school?" Keith was packing his bag with his equipment.
"You're like one of the best goalies I've played against, I'm sure Butch and Shawn would agree," piped up Dan.
"I'm not playing and pouting and begging isn't going to help," snapped the black haired girl, continuing her rounds of the rink.
"I'd still like you to try out though," Coach said skating up to his daughter, "just try out, for me," he pleaded staring down at her.
"No," she stated and she sped off.

"She's a goalie, that's a bit strange if she's good at target practice won't she be good at scoring?" asked Tala sitting in the stands next to Kai.
Kai just stared at the girl watching her elegant moves on the cement field, "she's got so many brothers and sisters she would probably have to dodge things that fly around her home," he replied still watching her, Mirage was smiling and Kai thought of how beautiful she looked when she did.
Tala chuckled, "lets go man, and remember what I said stop drooling over what you won't have," he picked up his bag and walked away leaving Kai to growl in annoyance.

Things couldn't get any worse, the first week of school was horrible, Mirage was now being treated horrible, bullied by people and she didn't know why. Kai was avoiding her and Tala kept sending her dark looks, as well as other girls in their year. Mirage was a little disgruntled by this but didn't let much of it effect her, most of the time she just ignored them, but this was proving difficult for her friends and brothers.
She had met a few people that were as old as she was, Crystal, Maria, Sayuki, Cristina had become her friends and often tried to stand up for her until Mirage told them to lay off as it wasn't their fight.
Jack, Butch and the other younger children kept finding it difficult to pull pranks and were slowly finding out that they didn't fit in, they were different and they also got teased for sticking together.
Lucy their mother, had to leave them for a couple of weeks to go see their aunt who was really sick, so now the babysitting was doubling up on the older teens who had their own issues to get through.
Theo was becoming tired of going to the school principles office to find that Butch had gotten into another fight and now left the job to Keith. The only positive thing was that his Soccer team were getting better at the sport.
Mirage sat in the front yard watching her siblings play games, they had finished their homework ages ago and now the only thing she had to do was look after dinner. She glanced at the wall where her younger brother Shawn was abseiling from a bungee cord, Butch was sporting a black eye she got from school and Jack was looking after Jo and Joe.
This was the only time she was happy, when she was at home with no Kai or Tala or popular kids. Kai had gotten into the teasing and bullying but Mirage felt like he was forcing himself, but still it did hurt. If someone was bullying you and you thought the guy was decent and he told he liked you wouldn't you feel betrayed or something?
The honk of a car got her attention and she looked to see a red convertible pull into the driveway, she groaned and stood up just glaring at the people seated inside. Nina was waving at them and her dumb, no, more like very dumb boyfriend Liam just glared, "no one touch the car! Stay away from the car!" he shouted halting all the kids running up to them.
They both got out of the car, "where's dad? Mums gone to see aunty I know that," Nina smiled and hugged her younger siblings, she looked over at Mirage who was just staring at her, "after all those months you still haven't grown, maybe I should start buying you some heels instead of you wearing those really horrible runners," sneered Nina in her annoying squeaky voice.
Mirage opened her mouth to say something when Bonnie sensing the tension called out, "Nina come help us with dinner, you to Liam," Bonnie grabbed their hands and led them into the house with Clyde.
Mirage clenched her fist and grabbed her bow and an arrow and nocked one to land between the faces of her eldest sister and her boyfriend, they both yelped and turned to glare, Mirage just smirked and the others snickered.
Nina huffed and pulled the brown haired boy into the house, Bonnie and Clyde held up two thumbs before following, "so what are we doing this time?" asked Butch smirking evilly.
Mirage matched the smirk with one of her own, "we'll need some ink, but first we're better off waiting for dad to come home so we don't get caught, I'll also need his car keys, I'll leave that up to you guys the rest is up to me and Dan," Mirage went back to her seat and watched as Butch and Jack were discussing plans to get the keys.

"So Nina this is a surprise, we weren't exactly expecting you to come," Theo smiled and glanced at Liam trying to keep his smile on his face.
The blonde haired girl smiled cheerfully, her grey eyes glittering, "well I have something to tell you, we're getting married," she cried happily grabbing the arm of her long time boyfriend. The occupants around the room gagged or spat out a mouthful of whatever, Mirage was slapping Shawn on the back, while violently coughing.
"Dan and I are going for a walk," she said moving out of her seat, the kids looked at her and Dan followed a bottle in his pocket.
"Oh and Mai I need you to be my maid of honour, being my little sis," Nina called as Mirage closed the kitchen door.
"She's going to make me wear a bloody pink dress," Mirage mumbled, "we have to do this quick, come," the plan was going on now and she pulled out the car keys unlocking the car, she opened the hood and motioned for Dan to do his thing.
Dan was a little mechanic; he was good at fixing things and knew his way through the engine of a car. Dan unscrewed the cap of the windshield wiper tank, he then poured the contents on the inkbottle in, it didn't take that long, and soon their mission was finished. They closed the hood and locked the car smiling, laughing and trying to imagine the faces of the couple.
"She'll crack it if they she finds out," chuckled Dan sitting on the fence surrounding their house.
Mirage smirked and sat next to him looking over at the neighbourhood, "they deserve it, this is a wonderful outlet for stress and stuff, how was practice? I forgot to ask," Mirage smiled at her little brother.
"Just normal drills and stuff, it's okay I hang out with a few of the guys from class, look Kai and Tala," Dan nodded in the direction of the two boys that were walking down the path.
Mirage and Dan looked at each other and silently climbed up the trees of their front garden, the shadows hiding them from view, they sat on the branches and watched them walk pass.
"You know Tala I really can't be bothered hurting her, I'm wasting time and it's getting on my nerves," Kai glared at the red head.
"Hey I like causing pain to those that don't belong here and she's a perfect target, girls get hurt more than guys," Tala shrugged and looked at Dash's house, "why are we going to your cousins house?" he asked.
"Need to pick something up, and you might want to rethink what you just said about Mirage, she's stronger than you think, stuff like teasing her won't effect her much," Kai estated trying to hold in his growl.
Mirage frowned and continued to listen, Dan glanced at his sister worried, "depends what you say, hey you think force would work?" Tala asked smiling.
Mirage and Dan both frowned, Dan looking ready to kill Mirage put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, "we aren't going to do it by force, that's going overboard," Kai growled opening the gate to Dash's house.
"Hey you think you can get any info out of Dash?"
"Not likely," Kai stated emotionlessly closing the gate after they entered.
Dan and Mirage looked at each other, Mirage's face blank or any emotion, "Mai you going to do anything? Cause if you don't I'll be all but happy to get Keith and we ca punch their faces in," Dan said climbing down from the tree.
Mirage snorted and stared at her brother with a raised eyebrow, "I highly doubt you'll be able to do any damage," Mirage shoved her hands in her pocket and started towards the house, "listen just ignore them and soon they'll get bored and leave me alone, if things call for drastic measures then I'll let you get Keith and attempt to hurt them, but remember this I can look after myself I don't need anyone else to get hurt," she opened the door and made Dan go in first.
