Okay, I updated between being sick and school and work and cheerleading and vacation and everything, so yall should really be loving me, and trust me, I swear, the next one will be much more exciting, but if you were all that crap, you wouldn't be writing really exciting either.

Chapter Eight- Somewhere Between Chaos and Disorder
Somewhere between chaos and disorder are the lives of everyone as we have come to know. However, you haven't seen the other side. Just step onto the court, but beware, for everything changes. A once loving father and son, torn apart hoping to taste victory. Brothers, once alike, now spread apart. The age gap grows. Is this still a matter of old versus young, or has it grown to something more?
Mouth sat at the picnic table next to the basketball court. He had taken up his olden days of being announcer at games. Today's game was different. It was Nick's birthday present. A game, young versus old.
"The starting line-up for team Fathers is: Lucas Scott, Nathan Scott, Jake Jagielski, Skills and Fergie, and for team, Nick, we have Nick Scott, Nate Scott, Luke Scott, Matt Johnson, and Tyler Heatherstone. Now we can't have a game without lovely cheerleaders, so, cheering for team, Fathers is Brooke Scott, Peyton Jagielski, Haley Scott, Bevin Smith, and Theresa Thompson. Cheering for team Nick is Jenny Jagielski, Michelle Heatherstone, Lyla Heatherstone, Courtney Heatherstone, and Cassie Johnson. Refereeing the game will be Coach Caleb Heatherstone and Junk. Please stand for the national anthem, a duet by Haley Scott and Chris Keller," Mouth said, and handed the microphone over to them. It wasn't a real basketball game, but it sure felt like it, a big crowd of people, enough people on both teams, musical performances, it was nice to be able to do that.
Haley and Chris stood at half court, facing the flag, and sang the national anthem. It was beautiful, well, they were both really talented singers. When they finished, the teams came out on the court and began with the tip. It was going to be an interesting game. They both had a good shot, and an advantage over the other.
Behind the picnic table, where Mouth was announcing, James and Kyle came after Farley.
"Come on, let's play a lil game of two on one," James said.
"Yeah, me and James, versus you," Kyle continued.
"That's okay, I'd rather get some pointers on announcing from Mr. McFadden," Farley said, backing up.
"No," James said.
"You should practice playing with us," Kyle said.
"Daddy would like it," James continued.
"So would mommy," Kyle finished.
"Really, I don't think they'd like you two beating me up. It could damage my internal apparatus."
James and Kyle looked at each other, then James just punched Farley in the face, "Dork," then they ran away.
Farley put his hand on his face where James hit him, it felt warm, stinging. Linda looked back, from her seat next to her dad, and saw Farley. She hopped down and walked over to him.
"You okay?"
Farley looked at her and smiled, "Yeah, I will be, they always do that. There's two of them, and only one of me."
"You should put ice on that; your face might swell up if you don't."
"Yeah, you're pretty smart."
"I want to be a doctor."
"But you're four, how could you possibly know."
"Like you said, I'm smart, besides, my mommy's a doctor, I want to be like her."
"I know. My mommy's a teacher, and my daddy's a basketball player. So are my brothers, but I'm no good."
"Come on, you need to get ice on your face," she grabbed his arm and dragged him into her house.
"Another basket for team Nick, its not looking to good for team Fathers," Mouth said, "The score is now 5-2, but its still anyone's game at halftime, we will be taking a short break."
"Hey, ya'll are getting beat by a bunch of ten year olds," Haley said, walking over to Nathan and Lucas, 'Isn't that kinda embarrassing, considering you're professional basketball players."
"Hey, it's only halftime, we still have two quarters to mop the floor with them."
"You say that now."
"Hales, just go back over there, with the cheerleaders, and cheer for me," Nathan smiled.
"Maybe I should go cheer for Nate."
"You wouldn't."
"I might," Haley smiled and walked away.
"Dude, it's a sad day when our cheerleaders want to ditch us," Lucas said, and got ready to go back in for the second half.
"From an injury in the first half, Skills will be sitting out this half, and Tim Smith will be going in. in his place. Let's see if this helps any, it's still anyone's game," Mouth announced as everyone returned to the court, "And we have a couple newcomer cheerleaders, Taylor Keller joining Team Fathers cheerleaders and Hallie Jacobs for Team Nick, and now for the second half, with the score 5-2, let's not let them take us down too badly."
The cheerleaders for Team Nick were sitting on the side of the court giggling.
"So, you like the infamous Nate Scott," Courtney asked Hallie, giggling a bit.
"Well, yeah, have you seen the guy, he's a total hunk."
"Honey, you and every girl at school think the same thing," Jenny butted in, "Even girls in my grade, who are like two years older, which is gross, so good luck getting him, especially considering you're leaving this evening," Jenny smirked.
"We're 10, who knows what could happen, I could easily come back for like Thanksgiving," Hallie tried to defend herself.
"Come on Jen," Michelle said, standing up, "Let' go cheer on my brother, you're boyfriend, remember him."
"Fine," she grumbled and stood up.
James and Kyle were lurking around, just looking for trouble, and sure enough, they found it, a berry bush just outside the neighborhood. It had some red berries on it, and they loved cherries.
"Think we should?" James asked Kyle.
He looked around them, no one was there, "Sure, no Farley telling us they'd do something to us."
