Chapter V
---
Two days later, everything had settled between Spot Conlon, Racetrack Higgins, and Jack Kelly. Obviously, all three of them were a little angry at Mia, but everything would be better in a couple of days.
The previous night, Race, Spot, Skittery, Blink, and Mush had all slept over at Jack's house. In the morning, they invited Notes over, since she had called Mush, complaining that there was nothing to do.
So, Notes walked into Jack's aunt and uncle's living room to find Jack and Spot playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64, punching each other and cursing loudly on the floor. Mush, Skittery, and Kid Blink were watching carefully, laughing their heads off every time somebody crashed. And Race was laying across the couch, stomach down, with his head on his pillow, facing everybody else. He was obviously the last person awake (as always), because his hair was still all over the place and he had sleep in his eyes.
"Hey, Notes!" Blink greeted cheerfully, throwing a pretzel her.
"Hi Stupid!" Notes greeted back with mock enthusiasm. She walked over and sat down right on Race's butt.
He groaned and turned his head as much as he could to look at her. "Fatty!" He growled.
Notes snorted. "When did you wake up?"
"Wha' time is it now?" He raised an eyebrow.
She looked down at her watch. "One o'five."
"Twenty minutes ago." He answered plainly before going back to watching Spot and Jack.
Notes rolled her eyes. "What time did you go to bed?"
"About four." Mush replied, shoving a pretzel in his mouth.
"Jeeze! What were you guys doing?" She asked. Then she paused and snorted. "Or who..."
Spot snorted. "You'd like dat wouldn'tcha, Notes."
"Oh yeah... seriously though. What were you guys doing? Gossiping?" She replied, rolling her eyes and hitting Blink, holding out her hand for a pretzel. He handed her one and she put it in her mouth.
"This." Skittery pointed to the television screen.
"Yeah, and dey owe me forty bucks." Race grinned. "Each."
Mush turned around and smiled.
Race rolled his eyes. "Except Mush... who I owe ten bucks..." He sighed.
Notes laughed and gave Mush a high five.
"Yeah, and I'm sooo gonna beat Kelly right now." Spot let out a low, evil laugh.
"Will not!" Jack protested, pushing button so hard his thumb was turning red and then white.
"Dude. Yes he will." Skittery pointed out.
"Shut up!"
"Yep, sorry, Jack. He's gotcha beat." Blink nodded, putting two pretzels in each corner of his mouth. "Look! I'm a walrus."
Notes snorted and made attempted to make her perch comfortable, causing Race to groan.
"What the heck, Notes?" He exclaimed.
"You have a boney butt."
"So do you!"
"Die Jack, Die!" Spot yelled, cackling maniacally.
"Never!" Jack yelled back.
"Are they always like this?" Notes raised an eyebrow.
"Sh!" Blink exclaimed.
Notes jumped and shut her mouth. "Wow." She mouthed to Skittery who grinned.
"Jack Jack!" Mush and Race exclaimed simultaneously.
They looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"Spot! Bomb!" Skittery and Blink shouted.
Spot manuevered away from the bomb, leading Jack right into it. Jack's screen read 'Game Over' and Spot laughed, raising his hands in the air victoriously. "What now?" He laughed in Jack's face.
"Dat's another five from you, Mr. Kelly." Race grinned.
Jack rolled his eyes and nodded. He turned to Spot. "'Nother game?"
"You're on!" And with that, they started up again.
Notes rolled her eyes and looked at her watch. "Mushee... when is Stormy gonna be back?"
"Who's Stormy?" Jack grinned.
"Zo." Mush and Race stated bluntly.
"Oooooh... Stormy?" Jack raised an eyebrow, not taking his eyes off of the game.
"Cuz of her mood swings." Blink said, his mouth full of pretzels.
"Jack. You miss a lot when you aren't here for the summer." Spot pointed out. "Wait... you were here all school year. What's your problem?" He laughed, running Jack's car off the road.
"Screw you!" Jack yelled loudly. "Hey... she was too busy suckin' face wit Bums fa anyone ta actually tawk ta her anyways." He grinned.
"I'm booooored." Notes moved on Race's behind more, causing him to groan again.
"Go play Barbie's with Lucks." Spot offered. "What now Kelly?"
Jack threw down his controller and said a very naughty word. Notes gasped. Mush tried to supress a giggle. Race burst into laughter. Skittery grinned. And Blink's pretzels fell out of his mouth as he choked on them. Spot smacked Jack upside the head, grinning. "Language around da children, Jacky!" He chuckled.
Notes shook her head. "I'm still bored."
"Didn't Jack just mention tea with Lucks?" Race raised an eyebrow at her. He gave her a look. "And get off my butt, please."
Notes snorted and slid off of Race's butt, landing on the floor with a thud. "Lucks is cleaning."
"Wit her leg?" Mush asked sympathetically.
Notes nodded. "Yep."
"How about Flatt? I'll come witchoo." Spot grinned.
Notes rolled her eyes. "With Cat and Snitch at the mall."
"Without you?" Jack asked, feigning shock.
Notes punched his arm. "Yes." She stuck her tongue out.
"Blink," Skittery yelled. Blink looked up, shoving another pretzel in his mouth. "Ya t'ink you can stop eatin' does t'ings long enough fa me ta beatcha in Mario Kart?"
Blink glared. "You're on!" He yelled, pushing Spot out of the way and grabbing the controller. Skittery smiled and snatched the controller that Jack was angrily handing to him.
Notes looked longingly up at the couch. Racetrack looked down at her. "Ugh! Fine!" He said. He turned around and sat up. He scooted his legs up so she could sit at the end of the couch.
Notes grinned and gave Race a kiss on the cheek before sitting at his feet. Race rolled his eyes and looked at her. "Whoa." He said.
"What?" Notes began freaking out, she tried to shake something out of her neon purple hair.
"No... the light... somebody get me a pencil and paper." Race said. His hands were itching to draw.
"Blink." Spot said automatically. "Busy!" Blink exclaimed. He laughed triumphantly as he knocked Skitts' car into a spin.
"Mush." Jack said, not taking his eyes off the screen. Even though he wasn't even playing. Mush stood up and flicked Jack in the forehead. "Ow!" Jack frowned at Mush before turning back to the game. Mush grinned innocently, as he always did, and walked over and flicked Race in the forehead before he left the room to get a pencil and a notebook. When he returned to flicked Race again.
"Mushee!" Race made a sad face. Mush replied by flicking him again and sitting down.
"Go cry to Lucks." Spot grinned.
"Will you shut-up?" Race snapped to spot, chucking his pencil at him.
"Ow." Spot said bluntly when the pencil missed his arm.
Mush picked up the pencil and threw it back at Race, who caught it and turned to sketch Notes. Fifteen minutes, and many curses (in different languages) from Blink later, Race was finished. He gave the picture to Notes who's mouth fell open. He smirked. "Good ain't I?"
"Mia'd say dat, wouldn't she?" Mush grinned. It was the first thing he'd said in a while.
Everyone else in the room looked up at him. Everyone was silent for a moment before Racetrack grinned. "Yeah she would... she said I was alot bettah den Jack." Everyone laughed and looked at Jack who's mouth fell open. "She did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Will you two shut-up?" Spot yelled.
Everyone burst into laughter again, including Spot.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Lucks was alone in her newly clean bedroom, groveling about the fact that she had to clean with a broken ankle. And then all of her friends were gone, so she couldn't go anywhere. Since you can't really drive a car with your ankle broken. Then, as if on cue, her cell phone began to ring the Harry Potter theme song. She rolled her eyes. It was Cat. She flipped open her phone. "Yello?" She sighed.
"Guess who asked me out!" Cat exclaimed.
Lucks moved the phone away from her ear so she could ear without permanent ear damage. When she moved it back, two new voices, unmistakably Flatt and Snitch, shouted "Kid Blink!" in her ear. Lucks snorted. Cat was hopeless. She wouldn't shut-up about Blink for the past week, ever since he threw that punch that broke Skittery's nose... which it really didn't, sadly.
"You guys! I wanted her ta guess!" Cat whined.
"Guess what?" Lucks grinned. She humored her dear friend. She always had to. Flatt and Snitch were always there to ruin the fun.
"Guess who asked me out!" Cat perked up on the other end of the phone.
"Um... a hot guy at da mall?" Lucks mused, laying back on her pillow. She stared at the Orlando Bloom poster on her ceiling, grinning.
"No, Silly!" She paused, waiting to really surprise Lucks. "Blink!" She burst. Lucks could tell she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Lucks laughed. "Really? Dat's great, Cat." She sighed. "I'm bored." She pointed out randomly, hoping that maybe, just maybe her friends would save her from the space that was her room. All she had was her laptop and movies. And since she had already seen all of her movies a gazillion times, all of her favorite Fanfiction writers weren't updating, and none of her friends were home to role play with and instant message... she was screwed.
"Well, den we'll come getchoo, Lucksies." Snitch's voice came. He had obviously stolen the phone because Lucks could hear Flatt telling Cat to breathe in the background.
Lucks grinned. "Really, Snitchy! You'd do dat fa me?" She laughed. "I'll get my crutches."
Snitch laughed. "Good gimpy. We're pullin' up ta ya house in about... t'ree, two... one." There was a honk from outside.
Lucks grinned. "Kaykay! Bye Snitchers!" She laughed, hanging up her phone. She forced herself to stand up and she hopped over to the doorway to her bedroom. She grabbed her purse, putting her cell phone inside it. Then she grabbed her crutches and hobbled down the hallway. "Mumsies! Snitch, Flatt, and Cat are here ta kipnap me! I got my phone." She yelled into the unfinished bathroom. Her mom replied with a simple. "Don't do drugs an' I'll call ya later! Bye!" Before she went back to placing the tile on the ground. Lucks rolled her eyes and made her way onto the deck and down the stairs to Flatt's car. She threw her crutches into the back where Snitch was sitting and forced an ecstatic Cat to scoot over before she sat down, slammed the door shut and smiled to Flatt to go.
"So, where we goin'?" She smiled, looking around at them all.
"Conisderin' ya missed da mall... we're goin' ta da walkin' mall!" Snitch grinned, ruffling Lucks' hair.
Lucks rolled her eyes. "Of course." She turned to Cat. "Tell me everythin'." She said.
Flatt and Snitch groaned as Cat beamed, telling Lucks the entire story... it took the entire fifteen minutes to get to the walking mall... another thirty afterwards. She couldn't stop screaming.

Notes, Mush, Spot, and Skittery were on the living room floor, rolling with laughter. Jack Kelly stood in between Racetrack and Kid Blink, his arms crossed. His signature red bandana was tied around his forehead with the knot in front. Race and Blink were wearing a blue and a white one on their heads. Race was also wearing a sideways Yankees hat. They all had their pants pulled down to reveal their bright colored boxers with had their t-shirts tucked into them.
"Dum-diggity-dum, diggity-diggity-dum, dig this. Slickah dan da grease from a barbeque brisket. Got more chunk dan a fresh potato salad. Ya thought ya had ya answer but ya answer was invalid," Jack began to rap, moving his hands as any stereotyped rapper would. "Ya lookin' me crazy cuz ya t'ink I'm loco. Da big white cowboy wit da crazy vocal. Todas las personas estan fritando arriva." He began to rap in Spanish. "Now ya heard it, now I know ya are a believah. Esta cascion es para toda la gente. Es muy importante a usar su mente." Race and Blink were next to him, making similar movements with their arms, occasionally grabbing the crotch of their pants to keep them from falling down with just made the whole situation funnier. Jack continued. "So let go of all ya preconceived notions. Get up off ya feet and putcha body in motion. Cuz back home, we love ta dance, and we could be two-steppin' or ravin' ta trance."
"An' when da party is 'crunked' da girls back it up." Race volunteered.
"We got da systems in da cars an' da 20s on da trucks!" Blink added. They smirked at each other.
"Six foot one wit a cowboy hat, I don' mess around, yo." Jack nodded.
"Yo! Wha' sup wit dat?" Race asked.
"I'm Cowboy Jack! A New England hit, and I'm rollin' wit da bruddas, Race and Blink!" Jack finished. They posed.
After a few moments, everyone burst out laughing, falling on the floor. After a few minutes of hysterics, Notes sighed and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Ya know what I don't understand?"
"What's dat, Notes?" Mush laughed, putting a hand on Notes' shoulder.
"How can a bunch of sixteen and seventeen-year-old boys act like nine-year-olds?" Notes smirked.
"Hey! We do not!" Spot protested, sticking out his tongue. Then he started laughing again.
"I hafta go pee!" Skittery announced, standing up and running into the bathroom.
Everyone went silent. They all looked around, sitting up, and trying to stop laughing. Racetrack's face was bright red. Jack had his fist in his mouth. Notes was in silent giggles. Blink and Mush were leaning on each other, their hands over each other's mouth. And Spot hiccuped. That single hiccup caused everyone into an uproar of laughter all over again.
Skittery came back. "Wha did I miss?" He asked. Spot hiccuped again and everyone laughed harder.
