Hello!
How are you?
I've had a pretty uninteresting week to be honest, nothing exciting has happened. But today it's officially a month until my birthday! Yay!
But enough about me, here's chapter 15!
"So what are we doing again?" CheeChee asked, sitting on the bed in the girls' bedroom with Coral and Lugnut.
"Do you remember last night when Lela was listening to songs on Mack's music player thing?" Seacat asked, hoping that this would answer CheeChee's question.
"Yeah and we kept asking her things but she couldn't hear us," CheeChee replied.
"Well we thought that we'd make a little game out of it," Seacat said, before going into a full explanation. "So one person is going to say a random sentence to a person with the headphones on, and that person is then going to pass the sentence they think that the first person said to the next person until it gets to the end."
"So we have to lip read?" Lugnut checked, summarising everything that Seacat had just said in a few words.
"Pretty much, yeah," Seacat answered.
"Oh, I'm going to be terrible at this, I can tell," Coral sighed.
"Great, that's going to make it even funnier," Seacat said, handing Coral the pair of headphones with a smrik.
"Am I starting?" Coral asked.
"Yep," Seacat replied, searching for a song on Mack's iPod that was attached to the headphones.
"You think of the weirdest games," Lugnut said to Seacat.
"It's a gift," Seacat said sarcastically as he selected a song.
"Oh my god! That's really loud!" Coral said, interrupting Seacat and practically shouting because of the music's volume.
"That's the point," Seacat replied.
"What?" Coral shouted.
"Never mind," Seacat sighed before turning to CheeChee and Lugnut. "So I'm gonna say a sentence to Coral, then CheeChee, you're gonna come in and Coral's gonna say the sentence to you and then you're gonna pass the sentence on to Lugnut."
"Got it," CheeChee grinned, pushing Lugnut out of the door with her and closing the door behind them.
"Ok, Coral. Are you ready for the sentence?" Seacat asked, bouncing onto the bed in front of Coral.
"What?"
"Are you ready for the sentence?"
"I can't hear anything you're saying," Coral shouted, just giving Seacat a blank and slightly confused stare.
"Are you ready for the sentence?" Seacat asked, lifting up one side of the headphones so that Coral could hear him.
"Yeah," Coral replied, adjusting the headphones again as Seacat thought of a sentence.
"I'm attracted to your toenails," he said after a short pause.
Coral's eyebrows creased together after he'd said the sentence, which meant that she either had got the sentence perfectly or she hadn't got it at all. Either way the outcome was gonna be hilarious. "Ok," she said after a few seconds.
"Are you ready for CheeChee to come in?" Seacat asked as Coral took the headphones off.
"Yeah," Coral replied, giving a small nod. So Seacat shouted for CheeChee to come in, she put on the headphones and Coral said the sentence that she thought Seacat said. "I'm attracted to conga whales."
"What?" CheeChee squeaked as Seacat burst out laughing from behind them.
"I'm attracted to conga whales," Coral repeated, keeping a deadly straight face, which just made Seacat laugh more.
"Alright," CheeChee said, but she didn't sound so sure. Seacat called Lugnut in and CheeChee handed the headphones to him as Coral moved to stand with Seacat.
"Ok, are you ready?" CheeChee asked, holding up one of her thumbs to try and emphasise her point.
"Have you started?" Lugnut shouted.
"No," CheeChee answered.
"Clap when you're going to start," Lugnut said.
"Ok," CheeChee replied, clapping a few seconds later so that Lugnut would know that she was about to say the sentence. "I'm attracted to cockroaches."
"What?" Lugnut shouted as Coral and Seacat burst out laughing from the doorway.
"What do you think she said?" Seacat asked, taking the headphones from Lugnut.
"I'm the leader of the cockroaches," Lugnut said, making all four of them laugh. "What did it start as?" he continued.
"I'm attracted to your toenails," Seacat chuckled.
"What?!" Coral cried.
"Why would you pick that?" CheeChee asked, turning to Seacat.
"Because it's funny," Seacat chuckled.
"You're so weird," Coral said, rolling her eyes at her friend.
"Are we going again?" CheeChee asked.
"Alright, who's starting?" Lugnut asked.
"How about you?" Seacat suggested, turning to the biker boy. So everyone got set up again, Lugnut thought of a sentence, CheeChee and Coral left the room and Seacat put on the headphones. "It is actually really loud," Seacat said, but really shouted.
"Ok, are you ready?" Lugnut asked, waiting for some sort of nod.
But after about ten seconds of silence Seacat just said, "are we starting?"
"Yes," Lugnut replied, trying to make sure that Seacat understood him.
"Ok," Seacat said, before he nodded, prompting Lugnut to recite his sentence.
"According to my calculations, Lela changes her outfit every five minutes," he said. CheeChee was then called in, she took the headphones from Seacat and sat down in front of him.
"Ok, go when you're ready," CheeChee shouted, kneeling on the bed and slightly creasing her eyebrows in concentration.
"According to recent studies, Lela changes her outfit every five minutes," Seacat said, surprisingly getting the sentence mostly right. CheeChee paused for a second and then gave a smile.
"Ok, call Coral in," CheeChee sighed, taking the headphones off and handing them to Coral as she walked in. Coral got settled and CheeChee checked to see if it was alright to speak. So when Coral gave her a thumbs up, she said the sentence. "According to recent studies, Lela shaves off her clothes every five minutes."
"What?" Seacat said, spluttering into laughter.
"It was going so well," Lugnut sighed, starting to laugh as well.
"Ok, I think I know this one," Coral grinned, still shouting a little bit.
"What did you think that she said?" Seacat asked, lifting the headphones off Coral's golden brown curls.
"Just like an octopus…" she started, making the others burst out laughing.
"What? Oh my god, you are terrible at this game," Lugnut said, putting his head in his hands as CheeChee and Seacat clutched their sides from laughing.
"Lela changes her outfit every five minutes," Coral finished.
"The original sentence was, 'according to my calculations, Lela changes her outfit every five minutes'," Lugnut said.
"Hey, I got most of that one right," Seacat said, silently congratulating himself.
"So, who's going next?" Coral asked.
"Why don't you, maybe we'll get most of it right if you don't participate," Lugnut said, taking a little dig at the surfer girl.
"Alright, fine," Coral huffed, frowning at Lugnut as she took the headphones back from Seacat and handed them to the biker boy. Coral took a few seconds to think of her sentence before reciting it to Lugnut. "The Barrett twins are the best twins in the entire world," she said, finishing it with a confident smile.
"Alright," Lugnut said after a pause. "I'm not sure that it's right though." Seacat walked in and after giving a signal, Lugnut said the sentence that he thought that heard. "The Barrett twins…kiss all the girls." Lugnut finished and pulled a face, obviously not certain with his answer.
"What?" Seacat shouted. "I literally got none of that."
"Just go with it," Lugnut said.
"I can't just go with it, I literally have no clue," Seacat protested as he lifted the headphones off his head.
"You'll be fine," Lugnut said before calling CheeChee in and going to stand with Coral, who was laughing her head off at the biker boy's sentence.
"Are you ready?" Seacat asked CheeChee, who grinned and nodded. "How much pee can you think of?" Seacat said, making Coral and Lugnut burst out laughing.
"That was nothing like what I said," Lugnut cried.
"I think I've nailed this one," CheeChee smiled, taking the headphones off.
"Really?" Lugnut asked. "What do you think he said?"
"How much brie can you think of?" CheeChee said.
"Nope, not even close," Coral chuckled. "It was, 'the Barrett twins are the best twins in the entire world'."
"Well obviously," Seacat laughed, slightly ruffling Coral's hair.
"Hmm, debatable," Lugnut grumbled, earning a bright, false smile from Coral.
"Come on, CheeChee," Seacat said, turning to his girlfriend. "It's your turn."
"Ok," CheeChee chirped, quickly thinking of a sentence and handing the headphones to Lugnut. "Are you ready?" she asked, and waited for Lugnut to nod before giving him the phrase. "There are more eyeballs in the world than people."
Lugnut nodded and CheeChee called Coral in. "There are more people in the world than poodles," Lugnut said, repeating the sentence that he thought that CheeChee had said, making CheeChee let out a giggle from the side of the room.
"Ok, I've got this one," Coral grinned, seemingly very confident with herself.
"We'll have to see about that," Lugnut said, getting up from the bed and opening the door for Seacat to come in. Seacat got settled and gave a thumbs up to Coral, signalling that she could say the sentence. "The mole people of the world are mooses," Coral said, making Lugnut and CheeChee burst out laughing.
"Oh my god," Lugnut laughed, putting his head in his hands. "That's not even grammatically correct."
"Seacat, what did you get?" CheeChee asked, wiping away the tears from her laughter.
"The bowling pools of the world are sissies," Seacat said, yet again reducing the four teens to laughter.
"I didn't say any of those words!" Coral cried.
"I think the only words that we got were 'the' and 'are', am I right?" Lugnut asked, turning to CheeChee from some approval.
"Yep, the real sentence was 'there are more eyeballs in the world than people'," CheeChee said.
"Oh, and there are, aren't there?" Coral said, realising that CheeChee's statement was true and making the others all laugh again. But a loud scream from the living room made the four teens' laughter subside.
"Do you think that we should go back to the others now?" Seacat asked, earning an agreeable nod from CheeChee, Coral and Lugnut. Little did they know, the scream was caused by a balloon.
A few hours later, Mack had returned from her tutoring session, the eight Wet Side Story teens at Mack's house had settled down and were all just sat talking in the living room and Brady had finished with his lifeguard shift, meaning that he was on his way to pick up Lela and Tanner from their babysitting session with his little brother and sister. As Brady got closer to the door, he heard shouts from inside, and a sudden feeling of dread built up in his stomach. What if the house was completely trashed? But as Brady inched the door open and walked inside, a roll of toilet paper flew across the hallway and into the living room.
"They're starting an attack!" Saffron shouted, her frizzy blonde curls bouncing at her shoulders as the plastic crown on her head slipped to the side.
"What do you suggest we do, Queen Saffron?" Lela cried from out of Brady's sight, clearly trying to amuse the little girl in the living room.
"Attack back!" Saffron announced, picking up a couch cushion and charging through the hallway before throwing the pillow into the kitchen. Saffron barely noticed her big brother stood in the hallway, running straight past him and skipping back into the living room to Lela.
"Aaah! They've started a counter attack!" Garrett called, his head popping around the kitchen door, quickly followed by Tanner's.
"What's your plan, Captain?" Tanner asked, apparently now sporting a pirate hat and a pair of plastic fairy wings.
"Ambush!" Garrett shouted, grabbing a ladle and charging through the doorway, until Brady stepped in his way and held him back by the shoulders.
"Ok, that's enough excitement for one day, little dude," Brady said, lifting Garrett up so that he could sit un his shoulders.
"Brady! We were just in the middle of the pirate fairy princess war," Garrett complained as Tanner walked out of the kitchen, holding the couch cushion under his arm.
"Come on, Garrett, listen to Brady," Tanner said, earning a look of disapproval from the six year old.
"Tanner, I thought we were cool," Garrett frowned.
"We are, but you've got to listen to Brady," Tanner said, taking the pirate hat off his head and placing it on Garrett's relatively short blonde curls.
"Brady's home!" Saffron cried, running into the hallway and throwing her arms around her big brother's legs. She wasn't very tall considering that she was only six, so most of her affection for her older brother was shown through hugs to his thighs.
"Hey there," Brady said, trying to balance Garrett on his shoulders and give a one-armed hug to Saffron at the same time.
"Hi, Brady!" Lela chirped, walking into the hallway with a big grin on her face. Since Brady had last seen her, she had added a paper tiara, a fluorescent pink tutu and a pair of plastic fairy wings that matched Tanner's to her outfit.
"Hi, nice tutu," he chuckled, watching as Lela giggled and twirled.
"I'm guessing you like it then," she said, curtseying to Brady once she'd finished.
"And those wings are really manly, Tanner," Brady teased, making Tanner roll his eyes.
"He had to have wings, we were playing pirate fairy princesses," Saffron explained, giving Brady a look that insinuated that he should have know that.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should have realised," Brady sighed, trying to humour his little sister.
"Can we get back to our game then?" Saffron asked, tugging on the hem of Brady's t-shirt and giving him a pleading look.
"Actually, no," Brady said. "Lela and Tanner have got to get back now."
"No!" Saffron and Garrett wailed.
"Hey, it's alright," Lela said, trying to cheer the two six year olds up again. "We had some fun though, didn't we?"
Before Brady could say anything else, the phone started to ring. "Just be saying goodbye while I get the phone," Brady said whilst walking over to the house phone, hoping that it wasn't going to be any more bad news about babysitters failing to show up. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Brady managed to score Coral and Lugnut a job.
I hope you enjoyed it! Again, I'm sorry that not very much happened, hopefully next chapter will be a little more exciting. :/
And if you were wondering, the game that they were playing at the start was another Youtube challenge, I just think that they're fun little extra things to include in the story so I hope you don't mind me putting them in.
Thank you so much for the five reviews I got since I last updated! Every review means the world to me and I love hearing what you have to say!
Thank you so much DisneyChannelLover, DynamicGiraffe and RossLynch4ever! Don't hesitate to leave a suggestion if you think of one, I still want to hear them and I want to know what you enjoy reading.
Also, my good friend DisneyChannelLover has recently started a Teen Beach Movie story, so I would appreciate it if you would read it and leave a review! It's a great story so far so you won't regret it!
I know I say this all the time (if you're reading this then let me know what you think Coral and Lugnut's job is going to be) but I want to say thank you to everyone who sends me PMs, leaves reviews and is just generally supportive of my stories because I think that you're all lovely and I don't know what I'd do without you sometimes. :)
Thank you for reading!
