Yello. Uh, this chapter is kinda rushed. Sorry. And, I'm running out of ideas, so help? Yeah, um. Read and review and stuff.

"Uncle Brown?" Shane said.

"Um, excuse me but you can't be here. You're not a student or teacher at this school," Kelly remarked as if she won some argument with Brown.

Brown held up his visitor's pass. "I have permission miss so if you can please move to the side because I would hate to be so uncool," he said before stepping past the three speechless girls. "Shane! Nate! Jason! What's the hap's guys?"

"Napping," Shane muttered.

"Birdhouses!" Jason exclaimed as he held up his new addition to his already large collection.

"Uh, interesting. How many do you have now?" Brown asked when of course he obviously didn't really want to know.

"This is my latest one so now it's fifty-two."

"Okay... How 'bout you Nate?"

"Caitlyn," Nate sighed dreamily as he kissed her hand.

"Ah, it seems the hearts of all three Connect Three boys have been taken." Brown could have sworn he heard some girls from other tables groan and he could see some shooting daggers at Mitchie, Caitlyn, and Peggy. "Caitlyn, not throwing food at anyone are you?" Brown joked. He also knew the truth about that since Tess also confessed about that, too.

Caitlyn blushed. "Of course not." She put her arm around Tess and Tess did the same back. "We're all on good terms now. Even Mitchie and Tess."

All eyes turned to the most interesting couple of the three. Mitchie was now poking Shane's side along with Jason, trying to wake up and in Jason's case, bother Shane. Brown chuckled. "Still a heavy sleeper, eh?"

"Yup," Jason and Mitchie said together.

"So how's it goin' with you two? Still gettin' in trouble even with Big Rob around?"

"You know it," Barron and Sander laughed as they high-fived. Everyone at the table knew that this would lead to another one of their so-called famous raps,

"Listen up Brown
You need to pay attention
We are best buds
So of course we're in detention

Pulling pranks or making raps
It's always our game
Our reps are so high
We've even gotten our own name!"

"It's true," Tess said. "They're known as the Cali Jail Rappers or the CJs."

"It's kinda cliché," Barron said.

"But still creative," Sander finished.

"Hey, am I purposely being annoyed here?" the other mystery guy asked.

"Oh, sorry Jay," Tess stood up and gave her boyfriend a quick kiss. "Everyone, this is my boyfriend,"

"Jaime," he said, finish what Tess was going to say.

"Hey Jaime," everyone greeted.

"Next time, could you give me better directions Tess? You wrote the number of a tree on a street. There were only eight trees on Cheryl Avenue and you wrote turn right at the eleventh tree. That made no sense," Jaime pouted cutely towards her.

"Sorry Jay," Tess kissed him again quickly.

"So why are you here?" Big Rob asked.

"What? You don't know?" Brown said. Everyone but Mitchie and Caitlyn shook their heads. "Why for the youngest Gray! His birthday's today."

"What?!" Shane's head immediately shot up. "It's K.G.'s birthday today? Oh my God! I have no idea what to get him! I totally forgot!"

"Well you better hurry up with the gift wrapping because right after school, we're getting ready with the party."

"What should I get him?"

"Shane, do you even listen to your little brother?" Mitchie wondered.

"Of course I do. That's why he loves me more than Jason and Nate."

"Hey!" Jason and Nate yelled.

"Sorry, but it's mostly true." Mitchie rolled her eyes at Shane.

"Shane, Kenny said last week that he wanted a handheld camcorder. But not a Flip Video one. He says that it doesn't record as long as he wants."

"Thank God. But, where can I get one?" Everyone else groaned at the clueless Shane. Even Jason, he wasn't this clueless all the time and he even had his own present for Kenny.

"Fine, we can both give my present to him. It's a Sony handheld," Mitchie said.

"You mean like a couple?" Shane urged on jokingly. Mitchie gave him an 'are you serious?' look.

"We are a couple."

"Oh, my bad." Shane quickly gave Mitchie a kiss before hiding his head in shame as the others and Mitchie laughed at him.

"Gray! What are you doing?"

Shane immediately stopped jumping and stood up straight. "I'm practicing my back and front flips, sir!"

"Good. Working on flexibility," the gym teacher nodded. "You may continue Gray. Keep at it."

"Thank you sir!" Shane saluted the gym teacher and he did the same back. Nate scoffed as he watched this happen. He noticed the whole thing and once the gym teacher left, he walked over to the trampoline Shane was using. He crossed his arms as he walked up to Shane.

"Flexibility my ass," Nate scoffed, making Shane stop jumping. "What are you really up to?"

Shane grinned. "What does it look like? I'm practicing my flips so when I jump out of Kenny's fake cake."

"Dude, there's no way you are jumping out of a cake. Even a fake one at that. Remember last time? We had to get you thirteen stitches and you were in crutches for two weeks. That's unlucky."

"Not today. Check out Barron and Sander." Shane pointed to the other two dancing as they jumped on their trampolines.

"James! Lawyer! What are you doing?" the gym teacher screeched.

The two stopped jumping and laughed. Barron answered, "Yo coach, chill. We're mixing our dancing with our acrobatics and flips so we can do better tricks."

"Maybe even join gymnastics," Sander joked and laughed. Barron joined in.

"Hmm, uh. Sounds good, I guess. Good job boys." And with that, the gym teacher left leaving all four boys laughing.

"Hey! What's going on?" Kenny asked. Nate pushed him in the backyard and brought him in front of a huge fake cake. Kenny was still confused even though he knew it was about his birthday. "Come on Nate! Tell me!"

Nate laughed at his little brother's enthusiasm and eagerness. "Okay, okay. We're ready!" Nate called out.

That was the signal. Andy nodded and Shane started running down the pathway. He jumped off the trampoline and sort of flew over the cake. Okay, more like soared over it. Nate stepped away from Kenny, leaving him more confused. As Shane started to go down, he tackled Kenny into the pool. Kenny screamed, but in happiness. Once they resurfaced, Jason and Andy jumped out of the fake cake holding presents while the girls jumped out of their hiding places. Barron and Sander jumped out of the two bushes next to the fake cake and did a back flip each as before they landed, which made Kenny even happier.

"Happy Birthday Kenny!" everyone cheered. Kenny's grin became even bigger.

"Awesome! Everyone's here!" Kenny exclaimed as he got out of the pool. Shane followed in suit. "Hey S.G."

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for surprising me. It was cool. And wet."

"Aw, I feel a brotherly moment coming on," Tess sighed to Mitchie.

"You're welcome K.G." Shane responded.

"But I want to show you my thanks in another way," Kenny smirked.

"You didn't get me a present did you? 'Cause it's your birthday, not mine."

"No, but it is my birthday so you have to do what I say."

"Okay then, fine. Whatever it is, I accept."

"Good." Kenny smirked almost like Shane as he looked at him, who just raised an eyebrow.

"What are you—" Shane was cut off by Kenny pushing him back in the pool. "Whoa!" Everyone laughed as Shane resurfaced. Kenny walked up to the pool edge where Shane's head was and patted his hair.

"Happy Birthday to Me," Kenny sang as he flicked Shane's nose. Shane gave him an annoyed look but joined in everyone's laughter.

"Or not," Mitchie laughed to Tess.

"Hey birthday boy!" Kenny turned around to look at Barron and Sander. "We know that today is your day so listen to what we have to say.

Hey Birthday boy
Today you're nine
When you're older
Bet you'll be fine

Today's your day
Just do what you do
You get what you want
Even join our crew

Bet when you're older
You'll be cooler than your bros
You'll get everything
Money, fame, and even—"

"Finish that sentence and you're finished," Mitchie glared at Barron and Sander. Caitlyn and Tess had already understood where this was going so just in case they would finish, the girls would pounce on them. Peggy and Lola understood too and were ready to cover Kenny's ears. Ella was clueless to what Barron and Sander were going to say.

"What were they going to say?" Kenny asked, obviously clueless, too.

"It would be better if you knew when you are older," Nate reassured his brother. Kenny thought about this then shivered in fear. "What's up Ken?"

"Nothing. I just have a feeling that it's something I would regret knowing." Everyone laughed at the youngest brother's comment. "Let's party! Ooh! Presents!" Kenny ran up to Jason and Andy and took the two's presents. The moment he received Jason's present, he just stared at it in easy realization. "Birdhouse Jas?" Jason shook his head. "Wait a minute, its round. Aren't birdhouses normally like a square and a triangle?"

"Not just that, it opens up so you can put stuff in it and, well, open Andy presents," Jason grinned. Kenny shrugged and opened up Andy's present. It was two drumsticks and parts of a drum kit that could be put together with the birdhouse-drum, thing.

"Cool! A mini drum-kit! Thanks guys!" Kenny hugged both boys.

"No problem little dude," Andy replied as he pat Kenny's shoulder.

As Kenny left to talk and receive presents from the others, Jason put his hands in his pockets and just watched the scene that was in front of him. This was one of the rare moments that Jason would be mature and calm and not "bird-crazy". But suddenly, Jason noticed something was up with Kenny's tree house. Before Kenny could go up it to store his presents, Jason screamed, "Kenny! Get away!"

"What?" Kenny yelled back. At that moment, a branch broke that helped support the tree house. "Huh?"

Miraculously, Jason was able to run fast enough to push Kenny out of the way from the falling tree house. Everyone else was shocked and honestly could not move from their place. Kenny was frightened as Jason pushed him, only because it's not something Jason would do, only Shane, and was still in shock as he watched the tree house fall. Jason tried to escape it, and did, but a few boards caught his leg and by the loud yelp he let out, it was probably broken.

"Jason!" Everyone screamed. Shane and Nate quickly ran over to him to pull of the boards while their father started to pull Jason from underneath the boards, with help from Kenny.

"Hey, Kenny? Are you okay?" Jason asked. At least he was still conscious. Kenny flicked his forehead. "Okay, I deserved that." Kenny went over to Jason's once covered leg and poked it lightly. "Ow!"

"Definitely broken," Kenny concluded. The girls ran inside to call an ambulance.

"We need to bring him to the hospital," Mrs. Gray said. "Boys, help your brother up." Shane and Nate nodded and helped up Jason, putting one arm around each brother.

"Sorry for ruining your birthday," Jason apologized. Kenny shook his head as he walked with his brothers.

"You didn't. This was the coolest birthday ever. Besides, you breaking your leg. But the suspense was awesome," Kenny remarked. Jason chuckled and ruffled his little brother's hair.

"I'm sorry kid but I need to inject the anesthetic," a man from the ambulance said.

"Uhm, okay. When can I see my brother?"

Jason beat the man, answering, "I'll see you in a couple hours okay?"

"Okay." Kenny waved to his brother after running back to his parents, who were getting the cars ready along with their bodyguard. Jason waved back before letting the anesthetic take him into the darkness.

Aw, I hurt Jason. Sorry. I'm even unhappy with myself. You know what to do.
