"Hey dad, I need you to sign this, it's a camp assignment thing," Mirage held out a pen and the form.
"I think I'll read it first last time it was an English project that you failed," Theo picked up the form and red the sheet of paper, "how come all the school camps are happening at the same time?" he frowned signing the sheet.
"What do you mean?" Mirage asked looking confused and putting the paper in her bag.
"All your brothers and sisters are going on camp as well, no ones going to be home to look after Jo and Joe cause I'll be going to Dan's camp," explained the black haired man putting the pen in the holder.
"Can't you bring them with you? Or," Mirage smiled thinking about her plan, "or I can bring them with me, after all it's in the project I have to look after a baby anyway, why not bring a real baby. I mean I basically look after them anyway so it wouldn't be trouble," Mirage sat on one of the stools and smiled at her dad who was thinking hard.
"That could work, but what about your teacher and partner what will they think?" Theo asked rubbing his chin; "Butch are you doing your homework?!" he called.
"Finished!" Butch returned walking into the room, "so you're going on camp to, that means no ones going to be home apart from the twins," Butch held her hockey stick in one hand and her beanie in the other.
"Not unless I ask my teacher, now I got to go," Mirage grabbed her rollerblades and rolled out of the house while talking on the phone, "hey Dash, where does your cousin live?" she asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Dash asked from over in his house.
"Just need to talk to him bout the thing, can you tell me now?" Mirage jumped a stray dog and continued rollerblading down a path.
"Two Crescent drive," Dash said, "but w-"
"Thanks" Mirage hung up and turned a corner and saw the house, it was just as big as Dash's, it was a white house with creeping vines up the walls, she rollerbladed in front of the gate and pressed the button to talk to who ever.
"Sorry but we are not taking any visitors at the moment," said a gruff voice from the speaker.
Mirage frowned, "could you tell Kai that Mirage is here and needs to ask him something," she replied.
"Master Kai is busy at the moment with work," the speaker said sternly.
"Listen dude man, this is for school, if you don't let me in we will both fail, and if Kai's parents hear about this they might yell at you for not allowing me to come in, now could you tell Kai that Mirage is here," Mirage said crossing her arms and standing in front of the gate, "thankyou," she bit out rolling into the front of the house.
The garden was huge, flowers and trees were planted everywhere and a large fountain was set in the middle of the driveway making a roundabout. She went p the stairs and knocked on the door, "how'd you get this address?" asked Kai opening the door, in his right hand was a sword and he looked to be breathing heavily.
"Your cousin so…your work was sword fighting?" Mirage smiled and held out her hand, "can I see?" Kai handed over the sword and watched as the black haired girl examined it, "its got an engraved phoenix on the blade, my one has an engraved dragon, it's light and flexible easy to use," Mirage handed the sword back, "pretty good sword," she said smiling.
"What'd you come here for?" Kai asked walking outside and not looking at her, he was afraid if he did he might do something stupid.
"That project we got in homeroom for Home Ec, do you think you are capable of looking after two real babies? Their ten months old," she informed, "my brother and sister."
Kai frowned, "won't that make things a little bit difficult? Two real babies means we actually have to look after them," the blue haired boy looked at the ground thinking.
"Come on please, no ones going to be home while we're at camp, my mums at my aunt's and my dads going on the year nine camp, please," she pleaded, "for me," she stepped and tried to look into his eyes grabbing his hands.
Kai shivered at the touch and looked into her grey eyes, "whatever, but you have to ask Miss Milan, also don't expect me to do all of the work cause I don't know much about babies, anyway I have to go, see you tomorrow," Kai stepped back and added, "don't tell Tala I was being civilised."
Mirage waved and rollerbladed down the stairs and onto the driveway, "bye Kai," she called.
Kai leaned against the door and sighed, "those eyes are so hard to deny, actually she's just to hard to deny," he mumbled entering the house and resuming his sword fighting practice.

"So will you Miss, I have a valid excuse and even ask my father, Mr Oliveri the Coach come on please," Mirage said running out of breath as she tried to keep up with her homeroom teacher, "Kai even agrees and to think this whole assignment is about learning to look after babies, which is pointless for me but I could teach Kai, come on miss," she begged.
"I don't know, how much do you know about looking after babies and two babies at that," Miss Milan put her books on her desk and looked sternly at the girl.
"Miss your forgetting I have thirteen brothers and sisters, I'm a full time babysitter, I know a lot about babies, I actually look after the twins more than my parents do," muttered Mirage looking down at the ground scratching her head.
"If you are sure you can look after two babies by yourself then I'm giving you permission, but you'll have to bring the baby stuff," Miss Milan sipped at her coffee and began marking papers.
"So I'll just have to pack the pram and their other stuff okay, thanks Miss," Mirage smiled and sat in her desk waiting for her friends to come as the bell went.
(Please note that everything I have just written in this chapter is bullshit, I highly doubt that the teacher would allow you to bring any real babies in an excursion thing, but remember this is my story and my overactive imagination, which has an under active reality so fuck off if you don't like it.)

Mirage got out of the car while Keith got the twin pram set up, it was the day of the camp and Mirage had woken up at 6:00 to get ready, she had woken up the twins and got them dressed, it was a gloomy day and it was cold, so she dressed Jo and Joe in warm clothing, she put on the baby bag that had all their nappies and food. Keith wasn't leaving for his camp till the next day so he was helping her out, "you sure you're actually going to be able to look after them, I mean I know you actually look after them more than we do but you have teachers and a partner-"
"Keith, I love you and I appreciate that you care and all but it is way to early for a prep like talk, we'll be fine, I promise," Mirage interrupted hugging him, "now help me with the suitcases," she ordered fixing up her grip on the babies.
They walked up to the bus where the rest of the class was; Kai was already standing their talking to Tala. Kai looked at her as she carried the two tired babies, he walked up to her and stared at her, "we have to look after these two?" he nodded at the human beings in her arms.
Keith left them alone to put the pram and her luggage on the bus, "the girl is Jo and the boy is Joe, they're tired and want to sleep so they might be a little cranky, hey guys," Mirage smiled as her friends ran up to her and started cooing over how cute the ten month olds were, "keep it down," she whispered.
"They look so much like you," cooed Crystal, "it's hard to believe they are your siblings than being your kids," she stated, "I mean they have the hair and they have the eyes."
"They are adorable Mirage, and remember they are under your care," Miss Milan looked at the black haired girl and the blue haired boy. Mirage smiled and Kai shrugged in return, "okay everyone's here so everyone on the bus and sitting next to your partner, once you step foot on the bus the project begins," Miss Milan ushered the grumbling kids on the bus, Mirage sat down putting Jo and Joe on her lap, Kai sat next to her and Dash and Sayuki sat behind her and Tyrone and Crystal sat in front of her.
Mirage waved at Keith through the window and then remembered the bag around the shoulder, "hold them," she passed the babies to Kai who looked startled.
"What?" he said cradling them in his arms.
"I need to put this up there," Mirage pulled out her iPod then shoved the bag in the shelf above her seat. She then sat back down and picked up the babies so they sat in her lap, she turned on her iPod full blast so it could be heard without the earphones, 'Calm Down' by Killing Heidi was playing and Mirage was singing to two giggling babies, "when it feels like you're tripping, but you're not sure what about," Mirage smiled as Crystal, Maria and Cristina started singing as well, "can you all hear it?" she giggled.
They all nodded and continued singing, the boys around them or more like their partners were watching amused, "you got Pink?" asked Maria.
Mirage nodded and played one of her favourite songs 'There you go' by Pink,
"Hey don't come around
Talkin' 'bout that you love me
Cause you loved those bitches before me
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doin'
Is runnin' your mind games
Son't you know that game beats game
So your best bet is to be straight with me,
"You know I think we should start a singing group and I'll be manager," said Sayuki nodding her head to the music, "what do you think?"
They all laughed and nodded their heads, "we'll think about it," Maria answered.
Jo and Joe giggled from their spot on Mirage's lap bobbing their head to the music, Mirage smiled and turned the iPod off, the others protested and she just smiled, "you can use," she handed the iPod to Crystal and sat back in her seat, "now you guys look out the window, look at the trees and the cars," Mirage held onto them and pointed out the window.
Jo and Joe held their hands to the window, they pointed to a dog that was sticking out of the window, "and that's a dog, a big ugly dog," she then pulled them back and turned to Kai, "this one is Kai and he'll be looking after you with me," she said, "say hello."
"Hello," they stumbled over the word waving slightly, Kai smiled and picked up Jo's hand which than grabbed onto his finger.
Kai chuckled, "hey do you think you can get that bag down?" asked Mirage.
Kai nodded and stood up to get the bag, he pulled it down and watched as Mirage picked up two bottles and held them out for them to drink, "can they walk?" he asked sitting down again.
"Not yet, but I'm teaching them, they like climbing stairs though," she frowned, "and they're starting to say 'no' a lot more," she watched them yawn and cradled them.
Soon Jo and Joe fell asleep and snuggled into the black haired girls chest, "oh, isn't that so cute," whispered Crystal leaning over the seat, "they're sleeping."
Tyrone leaned over the seat watching the babies, "you seriously know how to bore babies Hiwitari," he stated smirking.
Kai stared at him, "the babies woke up at 6:30 this morning they're a bit tired," replied Mirage leaning back into the seat, she yawned and closed her eyes falling asleep.
"Looking after kids must tire you out," said Sayuki leaning over her seat and looking down at her friend, "and she has about eleven of them and that's not including Keith and her older sister," she added.
"How does she do it?" asked Maria turning in her seat.
"You get used to it, now shut it and leave me alone," mumbled Mirage.
They smiled and turned back into their seats, Kai looked over at his partner and realized that her grip was loosening on Jo, he picked up the sleeping baby and looked down at the girl, 'I wonder if she looked this cute when she was a baby?' he thought playing with her finger that wrapped around his finger again. He smiled and yawned and soon found he was asleep.
Crystal turned around again and pulled out her sketch book and a pencil, "that will be one of my best pieces of art yet," she mumbled drawing the scene in front of her, Mirage was holding onto Joe and leaning on Kai's shoulder asleep and Kai had his head on hers also asleep with Jo in his arms.
Tyrone turned around and pulled out his camera, "you draw it and I'll save it on a roll of film, or do you want me to record it?" he asked taking a picture.
"What video tape them while they're sleep, your life is more boring than I thought," Maria smirked turning back in her seat.
"Hey, just because I have so many jobs doesn't mean my life is boring," he retorted.
"How many jobs do you actually have?" asked Sayuki, flipping her brown and purple hair over her shoulder.
"He has around five," replied Dash, "he's one of my Butlers but only during the holidays, a photographer for some magazine, he works in KFC, he works in Sanity music store and what's the last one?" Dash looked down at Mirage and his cousin and frowned.
"And I work in a clothes store," Tyrone concluded.
"Would explain why you have a great sense of fashion," Crystal said drawing in her sketchbook, "what I don't get is how you can keep up with it all?"
"Well I work for Dash during the holidays, the photo thing is only once a month, KFC is only Monday and Wednesday nights, Sanity is mornings on the weekend and the clothes store is on Friday and Thursday night," the blonde explained leaning his head on Crystal's shoulder.
"Do you have time for your girlfriend?" asked Delilah sitting next to Tala, "OMG Tala look, Kai," she pointed to the two in the seat.
Tala turned around and frowned, he was about to wake his friend up when Dash slapped his hand away, "they're tired leave them alone," the blue haired boy said glaring at the red head. Tala shrugged and turned back around.
