Jake's POV

The next morning during breakfast, Cubby Princess, Baby Jay and I were eating fruit salad whole Izzy was looking around.

"Where is my fruit salad Jake?" Izzy asked me.

"Your having oatmeal for breakfast Izzy, since you have your braces on." I said to her as she looked at her bowl of oatmeal.

"This stinks." Izzy said to me.

"Look Izzy I'm sorry, but the orthodontist said that you need to eat soft foods." I said to her.

"No, I'm talking about the oatmeal it stinks." Izzy said to me as I looked at Cubby.

"Cubby did you forgot to put the oatmeal in the fridge last night, so Izzy can eat it today?" I asked him.

" Whoops, I did sorry." Cubby said to me.

"Yeah on second thought, I'm not hungry this morning." Izzy said to us as she left.

"Izzy, you got to eat something." I said to her.

"I'll just have a pudding." Izzy said to me as she went in the fridge and grabbed a pudding. "I hate having braces." Izzy said to herself while head was down on the dinning room table.

"Izzy, your braces are still cool." Cubby said to her.

"yeah but it's embarrassing when Marina has to make fun of me about them." Izzy said to him.

"I don't think your braces are ugly Mommy. To be fair, they look pretty on you." Princess said to her as I ruffled her hair.

"You see, even princess likes your braces." I said to her.

"But baby Jay doesn't like them. Watch." Izzy said to me.

" Baby Jay, do you like mommy's braces?" Is he asked him as he turned his head away from her.

"You see, I'm a monster." Izzy said to us as she sat back down.

"Izzy, you're not a monster. you're beautiful, sweet, kind, cute, a great dancer, you can sing. Izzy I've heard you sing and you have a beautiful voice." I said to her.

" What does all of that have to do with my braces?" Izzy asked me.

"Yeah I just wanted to get it out of my system." I said to her.

"I just want these braces taken off, because I look like a nerd." Izzy said to us.

"Jake, can you call the orthodontist and ask him if he can just take my brwcest out immediately?" Izzy asked me.

"Izzy, I'm sorry but you are going to have to wait until next year to get your braces off." I said to her.

"Yippee." Izzy said while was now disappointed.

"I know you're disappointed, But you have to wait until your teeth is straightened, and then the orthodontist can take your braces out. But for now you are going to be stuck with them ehile eating soft foods for the rest of this year." I said to her.

"THIS SUCKS JAKE!" Izzy yelled at me.

"I know it sucks Izzy, but you have to deal with it. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do right now." I said to her.

"I'm not going to the dance studio today." Izzy said to us.

"Oh you're going to the dance studio, rather you like it or not Izzy." I said to her.

"Jake, I'm not going." Izzy said to me.

"Not if Marina is going to be there, I'm still not going to the dance studio. Rather you make me." Izzy said to me.

" Okay, if you don't want to go to the dance studio it's your decision. But if you change your mind, will be over there." I said to her as Cubby, Princess Baby Jay and I left The Hideout.

Izzy's POV

As I was watching TV in the living, I looked out the window and saw Marina.

"Izzy you have ugly braces, Jake should have been mine, also go jump off a cliff you idiot bastard." Marina said to me as I cried on the couch.

As I immediately called Jake on my phone, he answered.

"Jake, Marina's outside our window. She's calling me names, she told me that my braces are ugly, also she told me to jump off a cliff. Oh yeah she called me a bastard. Please help me." I said to him.

" Izzy, what I want you to do is run here." Jake said to me as I immediately ran to the dance studio.

But unfortunately as I made it to the door, Marina was blocking it.

"Marina move." I said to her as he punched me in the stomach.

"Marina, please move." I said to her as I coughed out a little bit of blood.

"I WANT YOU TO DIE!" Marina said to me as she kicked me hard.

Cubby's POV

While Austin took the kids into the cafeteria, Jake and I immediately ran outside and saw Izzy on the floor coughing out blood as we also saw Marina still kicking her.

"MARINA STOP!" Jake and I both said to her as she ran off.

"Cubby, go get Peter." Jake said to me as I went to go get Peter.

Jake's POV

As I stayed by Izzy's side, she was still coughing out blood. Even though the blood was on the grass now which was okay.

"Jake Marina kicked me in my gut." Izzy said to me as Peter Cubby and Minnie Mouse came out.

"Okay jake, let's get her inside and into my nurses office." Minnie Mouse said to me as we helped Izzy up, and brought her into Minnie Mouse's nurses office.

As I helped Izzy lay down on the bed, she was in pain.

"OW!" Izzy screamed in pain.

"Izzy!" I said to her as I held her hand.

"It hurts, Jake my stomach, hurts." Izzy said to me.

"Calm down Izzy." Minnie Mouse said to her.

"But it hurts." Izzy said to us.

"Jake, I think I'm about to throw up blood again." Izzy said to me as Minnie gave her a bucket.

"Wow Marina really kicked you hard." Cubby said to her.

"You're not helping Cubby." I said to him.

"Sorry." Cubby said to me.

"Cubby, don't make the situation worse." I said to him as I was rubbing Izzy stomach.

"Izzy, where does your stomach hurt?" I asked her as she lifted her shirt up.

"Oh my God, Izzy your stomach is really red. What did Marina kick you with? her boot?" Cubby asked her.

"YES!" Izzy said to him.

As Minnie Mouse placed in ice pack on easy stomach for now, she told us that Izzy's going to stay with her so she can monitor Izzy's stomach.

Izzy's POV

As I was laying down, I turned my head to Minnie Mouse and asked her about my braces.

"Minnie, what do you think about my braces?" I asked her.

" I think they're cute. Why do you ask?" Minnie asked me.

" Oh because, Marina's been being mean to me for the past couple weeks now. She's been telling me that I should go kill myself, and that she wants Jake to be hers. She's also been making fun of my braces. I hate Marina." I said to her.

" Izzy, are you going to cry?" Minnie asked me.

"Yes." I said to her as she gave me a hug while I continued to cry.

"YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE MARINA IS RIGHT. MAYBE YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD!" I said to her as I left.

Izzy's POV

After what Jake just said to me, I was now heart broken.

"Wow, I am so sorry for what Jake said to you Izzy." Minnie said to me.

"Okay, I am going home, and I am not speaking to Jake ever again." I said to myself as I went home crying.

As I arrived home, I took an ice pack from the fridge and just went into our bedroom to lay down on my bed with the icepack on my stomach.

So, as I took our my phone, I started to watch some YouTube videos on it. But as I got hungry, I got up, and went into the kitchen to make myself a snack. Unfortunately, I could only eat soft foods. So, I took some French toast from the freezer and placed it in the toaster. After it was done, I took a plate and placed them on it with some butter and jam spread on both slices with a cup of milk.

Jake's POV

As I was in Studio A with only Richelle, Austin, and Eldon, I was wondering where Izzy went.

"Has anyone seen Izzy?" I asked them as they said no.

"Jake why don't you phone her." Richelle suggested to me as I started to dial Izzy's number on my cell phone.

As her phone kept ringing, the only thing I could hear is her voicemail.

"Hi you've reached Izzy. I'm not available to get to my cell phone right now, but if you need your name and message, I will get back to you. If you're Jake, I won't." Izzy's voicemail said to me.

"Hey it's me, where are you? Call me." I said to her as I hung up.

As Peter came in, he was not happy.

"This is a disgrace for the Internationals. There are supposed to be five people in the fine group dance there's only four where's Izzy?" Peter asked us as we all stayed silent.

"Hello Troupe A, where is Izzy?" Peter asked us again.

"You mean, Izzy's not her? What a shame." Richelle said to him.

"Izzy's not here, unfortunately. I said to him.

" Well, where is she, Jake?" Peter asked me.

"I called her cell, but she didn't answer." I said to him.

"Did she go home?" Peter asked us as I realized something.

"I think I know." I said to them.

"Jake, what did you do or say to Izzy?" Peter asked me.

" Okay, I may have said some things to her that made her upset." I said to him.

"Did she go home?" Peter asked us as I realized something.

"I think I know." I said to them.

"Jake, what did you do or say to Izzy?" Peter asked me.

"Okay, I may have said some things to her that made her upset." I said to him.

"Jake, what did you say?" Peter asked me.

"I said that maybe Marina's right, she should be better off dead, and maybe that's why she's home." I said to him.

"Jake, that is just cold." Austin said to me as I had my head down in shame.

"What should I do?" I asked them.

"Well, you should go home, and apologize to her man, she's you're girlfriend." Eldon said to me.

"Will, you guys wait for us?" I asked them.

"Of course we'll wait for the two of you." Austin said to me.

"If you guys don't come back on time, we're starting without you." Richelle said to me.

"Shut up Richelle." We all said to her as I ran home.

As I arrived home, I looked all over The Hideout for Izzy. Once I finally found her, she was watching TV. So, I walked up to her and sat down next to her on the couch.

"Hey, what are you doing home?" I asked her as she didn't answer me.

" I'm not speaking to you Jake. Because, you hurt my feelings." Izzy said to me.

"look, Izzy I'm sorry for saying those things to you. Please forgive me." I said to her.

"Okay Jake, I forgive you." Izzy said to me as I was shocked.

" How, how can you forgive me so quickly?" I asked her.

"Because your one crazy boy, and I love you." Izzy said to me as she was holding my face.

"But if you ever see those words again, they're going to sleep with the fishes." Izzy said to me as I gulp.

"Come on, they're waiting for us to dance studio in Studio A." I said to her as I grabbed her hand as we went back to the dance studio.

Izzy's POV

Once we entered back to studio A, Richelle, Austin Izzy, Eldon and I started to show Peter our dance.

After an hour, Peter Pan was happy that Izzy was back, and also that he loved our dance.

"Now this is what I call a five people group, and welcome back Izzy." Peter said us.

Izzy's POV

As Jake and I went to the cafeteria, we saw Cubby playing patty cake with Baby Jay and Princess.

"Hey you guy." I said to them as baby Jay giggled while Princess waved at us.

"Daddy!" Princess said to me with excitement.

"Dada, Mama!" Baby Jay said to us with excitement as well.

"So, what do you guys want to order for lunch?" I asked them.

"Well, I was thinking for of Pizza." Cubby said to me.

"I don't know about the three of you, but i am going to get some ice cream, for lunch." I said to them.

"Really, Izzy? Ice cream, for lunch?" Jake asked me.

"What is wrong with having ice cream, for lunch?" I asked him.

"Oh uh, Cubby, help." Jake said to him.

"I do not want to be apart of this Jake, you are on your own." Cubby said to him.

"Jake, answer my question." I said to him.

"Well, you see Iz, ice cream has a lot of well, sugar." Jake said to me.

"Oh, so your worried about how much sugar I eat?" I asked him.

"Oh boy, here we go again." Cubby said to himself.

"Hey, I'm just saying." Jake said to me.

"Izzy, it's September and it is too cold for you to be having ice cream, for lunch." Jake said to me.

"So? I can have ice cream. It's in my soft food diet." I said to him.

"Yeah I know that, but not during lunchtime." Jake said to me.

"Cubby, can I have a slice of pizza?" I asked him.

"No." Cubby said to me.

"Why, can't I have a slice of pizza?" I asked them.

"Uh, your braces." Jake said to me.

"Oh man, I forgot about my braces." I said to him

"That is why you can't have solid foods for the rest of this year, until your braces is taken off in 2019." Jake said to me.

"Okay." I said to him.

"Sorry, Izzy." Cubby said to me.

"Hey, it's okay little brother." i said to him.

"So you will get your braces off, May 2nd 2019. I just need to figure what time we need to be at Children's hospital." Jake said to me.

"Okay, Jakey." I said to him.

Time skip...

After we had our lunch, we all went home.

Cubby's POV

As I was watching Peppa Pig with Princess and Baby Jay, Jake and Izzy were in our room relaxing.

"Uncle Cubby, can you pinch my cheek:?" Princess asked me.

"Uh, sure." I said to her as I started to pinch Princess's cheek as baby Jay was jealous.

"Aww, do you want me to pinch your cheek too little buddy?" I asked him as he nodded his head.

"I'll pinch your cheek little brother." Princess said to him as she started to pinch baby Jay's cheek.

Izzy's POV

As I was laying down with Jake on his bed, I started to complain about my braces getting in the way.

"Ugh, I hate it when my braces gets in the way." I said to myself as I turned to face Jake who fell asleep,

"Aww, Jake looks so cute when he's napping." I said to myself as i pinched Jake's cheek.

Who's a cut Jake? Who's a cute Jake? You are." I whispered to him as he smiled a little.

"Hey, Jake?" I called to him.

"What Izzy?" Jake asked me in his sleep.

"I hate when my braces are in the way." I said to him.

"Izzy, It's only going to be for eight months. You can do it." Jake said to me.

"I'm going to get some water." I said to him.

"Okay, I'm going to continue my nap." Jake said to me ad I kissed his forehead after I covered him up with his blanket.

As I went into the kitchen to get some water to drink, I went into the living room, so see what Cubby and the kids are doing.

"What are you guys doing? I asked them.

"Pinching, each other's cheeks." Cubby said to me.

"Why?" I asked him while taking a sip of my water.

"We got bored." Princess said to me.

"Okay have fun, pinching each other's cheeks, and what not." I said to them.

"Oh, Izzy what is Jake doing?" Cubby asked me.

"He's taking a nap." I said to him as I went back upstairs and into out bedroom to relax a little bit longer till dinner.

Jake's POV

As I saw Izzy eating hard food, she immediately broke her braces.

"OUCH!" Izzy screamed out load.

"You broke your braces while eating hard food didn't you?" I asked her as she nodded her head while covering her mouth,.

After I woke up from my dream, I was now worried that if Izzy ate solid food and broke her braces, then I would have to bring her to the Orthodontist to get them repaired. As I got out of bed, I took my PJ's and my towel, and went to take a shower to get my mind off my dream I just had.

Izzy's POV

After I saw Jake leave, I was laying on my bed reading a book as Princess came to me.

"Mommy, can you read me a story? Princess asked me.

"Sure, sweetie. Come, sit on my bed." I sad to her as I lifted her up and placed her on my lap.

"So, what story do you want me to read to you? I asked her.

"Hmm, maybe a story about a handsome prince." Princess said to me.

Once I started to read Princess the book, she was really into the pictures. As I was pointing to each picture to her, she was imagining herself being saved by Toby from an evil dragon.

As I was about to get to the end of the book, I saw Princess asleep on my chest as I closed the book and kissed her forehead.

As Jake came back from his shower, he saw Princess sleeping on my chest.

"Did you read her a story? Jake asked me as I nodded my head.

"How cute." Jake said to me.

"Anyway, I had a dream about you eating solid foods, then you broke your braces in the process." Jake said to me.

"Aw, are you okay?" I asked him.

"I'm fine, I just don't want my dream to come true that's all." Jake said to me.

"Hey, don't worry Jake, that is not going to happen to me as long I follow my soft food diet, then, these stupid braces will be taken off faster." I said to him.

"You still have to wait till May though." Jake said to me.

"I know Jake." I said to him.

"So, what are we going to do next year, when the dance studio goes back to regionals?" I asked him

"Well, we do need to rehears a lot more before May 14." Jake said to me.

"That is true, Jakey." I said to him.

"Well, I don't know how next year is going to go Jake, cuz to be honest, some of the teams might move on." I said to him.

"Oh yeah, but we won't know that for sure Iz." Jake said to me.

"You'll never know. I mean some team might move on, some may not." I said to him.

Once Princess woke up from nap, the three f us went into the dinning room to have our dinner.

"What's for dinner, Cubby?" Jake asked him.

"Mac and cheese! And for you Izzy, pasta." Cubby said to us as we all eat as a family.

"Thanks, cutie." Cubby said to her as he pinched her cheek.

"Hey, Cubby this pasta is good." I said to him as he smiled.

"I'm glad your enjoying it, Iz." Cubby said to me.

After I was done with my dinner, I washed it, and placed it in the dishwasher. Then I went to bed early cuz I was so tired.

Jake's POV

Once we were all done with ur dinner, I placed them in the dishwasher. After they were in the dishwasher, Cubby started it as we all went straight to sleep. during the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep due to the fact that Izzy almost killed herself with a knife I mean, I don't know why Marina keeps bullying my girlfriend for. I would never bully my girlfriend. Okay, maybe a little bit But, that's because i lover her even if she has braces on. And even if she is struggling, I well, help her out with anything.
