Hello!
How are you?
I'm feeling great because I've been doing loads of writing for this story and I've gotten pretty far ahead with it. But I have been getting slightly bored, which isn't so great. :/
But this chapter is for the people who wanted more stuff with Lela and Butchy. This chapter was really fun to write and it's basically just all about Lela and Butchy. So I hope that you enjoy reading! Here's chapter 10!
"What are Tanner and the others doing?" Struts asked, turning the page of the new book that Mack had given her. "They've been gone for like half an hour."
"I'm gonna go see," Butchy said, getting up from his place on the sofa.
"I'll come too," Lela chirped, bouncing out of her seat to go and join her older brother.
"I can go by myself, sis," Butchy said.
"I know that, but I want to come as well," Lela smiled.
"Fine," Butchy sighed.
"Stop being so grumpy, I'm not that annoying," Lela teased.
"That's debatable," Butchy muttered.
"They were in the backyard last time I checked," Brady called to the siblings from the kitchen table, where he was sat with Mack.
"Thanks," Lela grinned, skipping off through the house, towing Butchy behind her. But what the scene that the two bikers were met with was not one that they'd expected.
Seacat was stood at a table, focusing on the screen of the laptop Brady had sort of taught him how to use. Giggles and Rascal were both stood next to Seacat, trying to hold in their own laughter at the sight in front of them. Tanner and Coral were sat opposite each other on chairs, both soaking wet and bright red in the face, literally crying from laughing.
"What on earth is going on?" Butchy asked, just causing Tanner and Coral to splutter into more bouts of laughter.
"We're conducting an experiment on Coral and Tanner," Giggles explained brightly. "We found out pretty quickly that their common weakness is their sense of humour, so what they've had to do is try and hold in a mouthful of water as we play a clip that doesn't sound…right."
"The object of the game is to hold the water in your mouth because if you can't then you end up soaking the person opposite you," Rascal continued. "So this is what has happened."
Coral and Tanner were still giggling away about something as the conversation was going on, they had barely even noticed the presence of the two bikers.
"I've never seen them more vulnerable, they literally laugh at everything," Giggles said. "They've just got the giggles." The blonde girl's comment made herself laugh, realising that she'd just incorporated her name into it without noticing.
"Right, guys, are you ready for the next one?" Seacat called, causing Tanner and Coral's laughter to subside slightly. The twins managed to nod between gasps for air, both trying their hardest to calm down. They both took another mouthful of water and Seacat pressed the play button. The phrase played and it didn't take more that a glance to send the twins spraying water at each other.
"See what we mean?" Rascal asked, watching as Lela and Butchy tried to hide their own laughter.
"Listen to this," Coral gasped between laughs, making Tanner look at her again. The twins laughed again, but managed to calm down just enough for Coral to show Tanner what she'd intended to. The surfer girl started to lightly bounce in her seat, which made a squelching noise due to her wet shorts, but this small little thing sent the twins over the edge. They couldn't stop their laughter, Tanner was literally clutching his sides and tears were rolling down Coral's cheeks.
"I think we've broken them, Seacat," Giggles chuckled, as the rest of the bikers and Mack and Brady walked up behind them.
"What's going on out here?" Struts asked, popping a bubble and putting a hand on her hip, her other hand holding her book open.
"We're conducting a sibling test on Tanner and Coral," Seacat said, jumping back from the laptop as he pressed something that made a rather loud buzzing noise.
"And as you can see it's going very well," Rascal said as Coral bounced on her chair again, causing the squelching noise to come back and making the twins laugh even more. Tanner then decided to test it out himself and it made them both laugh so much that Coral actually fell off her chair.
"Ok, I think you've had enough now," Butchy said, deciding to step in as he walked over to where Coral was now half sat - half laid on the ground and started to help her to her feet.
"What was the whole point of this 'sibling test' then?" Mack asked, crossing her arms and giving a challenging look to Seacat, who was sheepishly pushing the laptop to the side.
"Um…well…" he started, struggling to think of an excuse that would pass as acceptable.
"Nothing, we were just bored," Giggles answered truthfully, adding a smile on the end to try and soften Mack up.
"Giggles," Seacat hissed, slightly annoyed that his friend had sold them out.
"What? You didn't have an excuse anyway," Giggles said.
"That was exhausting," Tanner sighed, almost fully recovered from his laughter by now.
"I'm sure," Mack said sarcastically, as the Wet Side Story characters trudged back inside. "Go and get dried off you two," Mack ordered Coral and Tanner, practically shoving them towards the bathroom as everyone else walked back into the living room.
"We're back," Coral and Tanner chorused, now both in fresh sets of clothes. They bounced down onto the sofa next to Lela and Giggles and instantly slotted into the conversation.
"Have you two recovered now?" Giggles asked, raising one of her eyebrows at the twins.
"I think so, but I don't think I'll ever laugh more than that in my life," Coral said, almost chuckling at the thought.
"So that basically just proved that you two have similar senses of humour?" Lela asked.
"Yeah," Tanner replied, smiling goofily.
"Probably because you're twins," Struts called from the arm chair across the room, quickly turning the page of her book as she spoke.
"Oh yeah, I know," Tanner said, clearly not understanding what Struts had intended.
"No, I meant that your senses of humour are probably similar because you're- never mind," Struts sighed, not able to be bothered to explain her point fully.
"But does it mean that you're similar because you're twins or just because you're siblings?" Giggles asked.
"I'm not sure," Coral said, pondering the thought for a moment. "Do you and Butchy have anything in common, Lela?"
"What are you saying about me?" Butchy asked, walking up behind Coral and making her jump.
"Don't do that," Coral said, pretending to be mad but Butchy's laughter caused her to crumble. "I was just asking if you and Lela had anything in common like Tanner and I," Coral explained, budging up next to Tanner of the sofa so Butchy could squeeze on too.
"I don't know, do you think we have anything in common, Butchy?" Lela asked, leaning across Giggles, Tanner and Coral to talk to her older brother.
"No," Butchy said bluntly.
"I'm not so sure about that, you've got to have something in common," Coral said.
"Let's test it," Giggles exclaimed. "Sibling test part two: biker edition!"
"Right, so this is how the game works," Giggles said as Lela and Butchy sat down on the sofa next to each other. "I'm going to say a situation and you've got to hold up the card with the name of who you think fits it best."
"Ok, I think I understand," Lela said, adjust the cushion that was behind her.
"I can tell already that this is going to bring on a lot of arguing," Coral whispered to Tanner, who was sat on the floor next to his sister, both kind of excited to witness what was about to go down between the two bikers.
"Are you ready?" Giggles asked.
"No," Butchy sighed, clearly not interested at all.
"Butchy, don't sound so excited," Coral said sarcastically.
"Have you got your cards ready?" Lela asked, holding her own two neatly handwritten cards, with her and her brother's names on, rather proudly.
"Yes," Butchy answered, showing his sister the two pieces of paper.
"Your handwriting is so messy," Lela snapped, shaking her head at the scribbles that her brother called words.
"Are you ready?" Giggles repeated, shutting the siblings up.
"Yes," they both answered.
"Ok, who is most likely to get drunk?" Giggles asked, patiently waiting for the two bikers to decide. Lela held up her Butchy card almost instantly but it took Butchy a little longer to admit that it would be him.
"Alright, by default it would be me," he sighed.
"What do you mean by default? You'd obviously get drunk," Lela retorted.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Butchy shot back. "And I said default just because you'd never get drunk."
"Fine," Lela sighed.
"Are we having a points system with this?" Tanner asked.
"What would the points mean?" Coral asked, answering Tanner's question with another question.
"I suppose you're right, it wouldn't really prove anything," Tanner said.
"Are you all done now?" Giggles asked, wanting to move on to the next question. The four teens all nodded, settling back down again. "Who's the most likely to cry in public?" Giggles asked, waiting for everyone to quieten down before she spoke.
"Lela, without a shadow of a doubt," Butchy declared, holding his Lela card up straight away.
"Why me?" Lela asked.
"Are you kidding me?!" Butchy cried. "You almost started crying the other morning when your hairdryer wouldn't turn on."
"But then I would have had frizzy hair," Lela whined. "And you know how awful that is."
"I don't, actually," Butchy said. "And point proven."
"Alright, it's me," Lela said, giving in and holding up the card with her own name on.
"Next question," Giggles announced. "Who is the most impatient?"
"Lela," Butchy said, holding up his Lela card.
"Butchy," Lela said at almost the exact same time, holding up her Butchy card.
"Woah, woah, woah, what?" Butchy said.
"I'm not impatient! What are you talking about?" Lela asked indignantly.
"What are you talking about?" Butchy shot back. "When you ask me to fix your bike you come back like five minutes later and expect it to be finished. And then when it's not you stand there and whine until it is."
"I do not whine!" Lela snapped.
"Uh, yes you do," Butchy retorted. "And I am not impatient."
"Yes you are!" Lela exclaimed.
"Alright, you're both as bad as each other, let's move on," Giggles said, cutting into the conversation quickly to avoid a huge argument.
"Fine," the siblings huffed, abandoning the question and moving on to the next one.
"Who's the most likely to forget someone's birthday?" Giggles asked.
"Butchy," Lela said, holding up the card with her brother's name on almost straight away.
"What?" Butchy cried, somewhat offended that his sister was ready to make that assumption so quickly.
"You are the worst when it comes to birthdays, Butchy," Lela said. "And you know it."
"I am not," Butchy retorted.
"Ok, fine, when's Lugnut's birthday?" Lela challenged.
"November the 4th," Butchy answered, accepting the task.
"When's my birthday?" Lela asked.
"March the 17th," Butchy replied, impressing himself with his success so far.
"When's Coral's birthday?" Lela asked, hoping that this one would trip Butchy up.
"July the 12th," Butchy answered.
"What?" Coral exclaimed, unable to believe that her boyfriend had got the date so wrong.
"That's not it?" Butchy asked, shocked and a little bit scared at the same time. He didn't want Coral giving him the cold shoulder for the rest of the day.
"Nope," Lela said with a satisfied smirk. "It's May the 20th, the same as Tanner's. And you should know that because you wanted to gate crash his party this year since it was back when you hated the surfers," Lela explained proudly, watching her brother's face fall as he realised that his sister was right.
"Ok, fine, it's me," Butchy sighed, relieved when he looked up from his card and saw that Coral was still smiling at him. Things like forgetting birthday's didn't really phase her.
"Who's the most likely to fall when they're walking?" Giggles asked, moving straight onto the next question.
"Butchy," Lela announced, happy to see that her brother held his own card up too. "You're really clumsy," she said to him, earning an eye roll from her older brother.
"I can't help it," Butchy muttered.
"That one was easy," Giggles said brightly before moving on again. "Who's most likely to laugh at the wrong moment?"
"I think we all know who that is, and it's neither of us," Butchy said, just before Giggles, Lela and himself all looked accusingly at Coral and Tanner.
"And we witnessed it too," Lela added, smiling as Coral and Tanner broke into sheepish giggles.
"Ok, who's most likely to cry at a movie?" Giggles asked, not expecting the answer she got.
"You know it's you, Butchy," Lela said, holding up her Butchy card. "Just admit it."
"Ok, but you cry all the time at films," Butchy shot back.
"Butchy," Lela said, cutting him off and giving him an accusing look. In the end Butchy just held his own card up with a sigh of defeat.
"Awww, big bad biker Butchy's not so tough really," Coral teased.
"Shut up," Butchy grumbled, putting his head in his hands in embarrassment. But he knew that Coral was only joking, and to be honest, he didn't think that he could ever truly get mad at her.
"Who's the most likely to spend all of their money on something stupid?" Giggles asked, assuming that the previous question had finished being answered.
"Lela," Butchy answered almost immediately.
"What?!" Lela exclaimed.
"Lela, you buy the most pointless things," Butchy said. "I could list ten things in our house that you've bought that we don't need."
"Go on then," Lela challenged.
"That white porcelain cat in our hallway, the random coat hook that looks like a fish, the fake house plant that's spray-painted pink," Butchy started, earning an unimpressed look from Lela.
"Ok, we get the point," Lela sighed. "But none of that stuff is stupid."
"Really?" Butchy said, clearly not buying a thing that his sister was saying.
"Ok, moving on," Giggles cut in. "Who's the smartest?"
Butchy and Lela each held up the card with their own name on it. "It's clearly me," they both said.
"What?" Lela squeaked.
"You're so dumb! It's obviously me," Butchy argued.
"Hey! You're really dumb too," Lela shot back.
"Maybe that was a bad question," Giggles said, jumping in before a huge argument broke out. "How about, who's most likely to get arrested?"
"You," Lela scoffed, holding up her card with Butchy's name on.
"Why?" Butchy asked.
"Because I'd never do anything bad and you would probably do something stupid at the wrong moment," Lela explained.
"Like what?" Butchy asked.
"I don't know, just admit it," Lela sighed. "You know I'd never do anything like that."
"Fine," Butchy said, rolling his eyes. "If you say so."
"I do," Lela grinned, pleased that she'd gotten her way.
"Who's most likely to lock themselves out of the house?" Giggles asked.
"Lela," Butchy said.
"Yeah, me," Lela admitted.
"Woah, you guys actually agreed straight away for once," Tanner said.
"Well it's obvious, I don't even let Lela have her own set of keys anymore because she just leaves them in random places," Butchy explained.
"It's not my fault," Lela said.
"Actually it's all your fault," Butchy said, earning a playful punch on the shoulder from his little sister.
"Who's the funniest?" Giggles asked.
"Me," the siblings both said.
"Alright, we're both funny, but in different ways," Lela said.
"Yeah," Butchy agreed. "That sounds right."
"You say funnier things but I do funnier things," Lela said.
"You just do things that make you look stupid," Butchy said. "Which is funny."
"Hey," Lela snapped, whacking her brother with one of her name cards.
"Who's the most likely to take control of serious situations?" Giggles asked.
"Me," Butchy said, holding up his name card.
"Why? I'm good at that," Lela whined.
"You like to think that you are," Butchy replied. "Let's not forget what you did when I fainted."
"I only ran away because I thought you'd died," Lela defended.
"You didn't just run away though, did you?" Butchy said.
"Going to get Big Momma seemed like the best thing to do at the time," Lela explained. "I was fourteen!"
"And you were sobbing like a baby," Butchy said. "I was fine when you got back anyway." Lela just sighed in defeat and held up the card with her own name on it.
"Who's the most likely to survive the longest on a battle field?" Giggles asked.
Yet again, both of the siblings held up their own name cards.
"Lela? Are you joking?!" Butchy exclaimed.
"No," Lela answered simply. "I'd be fine, you wouldn't."
"What are you talking about?!" Butchy cried in frustration. "I know all about that stuff. I used to play army in the garden until I was like fifteen!"
"Oh really?" Coral asked, raising one of her eyebrows at Butchy, whose face fell and looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Don't tell the others," Butchy warned.
"You really think that we're not listening in on this?" Seacat called from the kitchen.
"I'm sure Lugnut will be delighted to hear about 'army man Butchy'," Coral said sarcastically.
"Oh don't worry, he was out there with him most of the time," Lela giggled.
"Hey!" Lugnut shouted. "Why am I being brought into this?!"
"You can have it," Lela said, changing her name card to the Butchy one. "You deserve it."
"Thanks," Butchy sighed, not really feeling like it was a victory.
"And to top it off I think we'll end it on this one," Giggles announced. "Who's the best looking?"
"I think we'd better let them handle this one alone," Tanner whispered to Coral, who nodded and jumped to her feet, dragging Giggles behind her.
"It's clearly me!" the siblings exclaimed, their battle to earn the title of 'best-looking' just beginning.
I hope you enjoyed it!
I know not much really happened and it didn't really contribute to the plot much but it was just fun to write and, I hope, fun to read. Plus it was a little longer than my usual chapters so I hope that you don't mind. :)
And the challenges that the characters did in this chapter were mainly inspired by Youtube collabs, in case you wanted to know. :)
Thank you so much for three reviews since I last updated! I love every single review that I get and it's so lovely to know that you're enjoying the story.
Thank you so much DisneyChannelLover, Guest and Maddie! Don't hesitate to leave a suggestion if you think of one, I still want them and I love hearing and using ideas that you want to read about! :)
I know I say this all the time (if you're reading this then let me know what your favourite question and answer was that Lela and Butchy answered) but I want to say thank you to everyone who sends me PMs, leaves reviews and is just generally supportive of my stories because you're all absolutely lovely and you mean the world to me!
Thank you for reading!
