Cheaper by the Dozen: "The Trio"

Disclaimer: I do not own the "Cheaper by the Dozen" characters or movie, but I do have my own plot and characters to add to it.

Rating: T just to be safe for the later chapters.

A/N: This chapter is really short, much shorter than I'd like to put up but I had it written so I figured I'd post it. The next chapter should be up within the next couple of days hopefully and much longer.

This is my second fanfiction so it's not perfect. If you tell me it sucks, please tell me why, lol. I like constructive criticism; it's the only way to become a better writer. And yes, I do like positive reviews too; they definitely make me write faster.

With that in mind:

NCsoccerplayer and me Jake's sisster 3 thanks for the kind words.

Alli- thank you for your idea, I'll definitely try to make it flow better. I had just put it all together mainly for reference purposes that way anyone who was reading the story wouldn't have to go searching through the whole thing to find someone's age or something, which I've had to do before when writers changed the characters. :) But yeah, I definitely appreciate your thoughts!


Chapter 2: Mike's Problem

Sarah listened carefully before she entered the room. "I really think you should talk to mom and dad about this Mikey, they can talk to your principal and get everything straightened out," Jake told his younger brother.

"No Jake, they won't understand, they'll just freak! You know that as well as I do!" Mike exclaimed.

"Jake's right Mike, you really should tell them," Sarah replied as she pushed open the door and went to sit down next to the two boys on Jake's large bed. "So Ryan and Greg are still taking your lunch money and threatening you?" Mike nodded and Sarah continued "I really wish I went to that school so I could teach them how to treat my brother," she exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"Don't I know it!" Jake agreed while clenching his fists.

"The worst part about it is that they do it for no apparent reason! They just started picking on me when we moved here two months ago. I didn't even do anything to piss them off, no jokes, no pranks, no nothing! I just wish they could find someone else to bother," Mike sulked. "And what's even worse is that no one wants to hang out with me except Parker.He's cool and everything, but still I'd like to make a couple more friends."

"Well I still think you should tell mom and dad but if you're not ready yet, we will try to figure out a plan for them to leave you alone," Sarah said trying to console her brother.

"One of the famous Sarah and Jake plans?" Mike said perking up. "That'd be great!" The trio began hatching a plan until they all crashed on Jake's bed sometime around 4:30am.
