Team Five
"Before the day is through, you must get into a heated fight with the Mom and be the first to tenderly apologize."

Kamio gave his letter a disapproving glare as he strutted through the house like he owned the place. Ever since he had gotten back inside, he had certainly done a lot of strutting, but he was very disappointed with Oishi's nonexistent attempts to get back inside.

Nevertheless, he had to locate the Mom and get in a fight with him. Though, he couldn't quite remember who the Mom was…

He entered the kitchen where Shishido, Sengoku and Itsuki were all sitting. Well, Shishido was standing and holding a bag of chips.

"Come on, everyone." Said Shishido. "Have some chips. They look so good and so tasty. Yummies. Chips. Mmmm."

"How many times do I have to tell you?" said Sengoku, sounding frustrated. "I am so far from being hungry so stop asking!"

"I'll just wait until dinner." Itsuki shrugged.

"God damn it, just eat something!" Shishido ordered.

"Hey, which one of you is the Mom again?" Kamio asked.

Everyone was silent.

Shishido crushed the bag of chips in his hands. "The one with the apron on." He answered in a deep scary voice.

Kamio looked at Itsuki…no apron. Then he looked at Sengoku…no apron. Then he looked at Shishido.

"Oh right." He said. "You are!"

"Thanks for your arbitrary assignment." Shishido said through his teeth.

"Just think, you could have been wearing THIS." Said Sengoku, pointing at the headband.

"Whatever." Said Itsuki.

Kamio quickly realized that this was a perfect opportunity to start a fight with Shishido. And then he could 'tenderly apologize'. Whatever the hell that meant.

"It wasn't arbitrary!" said Kamio. "I put you in that position on PURPOSE so you would have to wear the apron!"

"But we found out about these things AFTER you reassigned the team." Shishido said. "Chips?"

Kamio looked at the chips he was being offered.

"Um…no thanks." Said Kamio. "But…uh…you know those tuna fish sandwiches you made for lunch? They tasted awful!"

Shishido paused and then ate a chip. "Those were ham sandwiches." He said finally.

"Well…I rest my case!" Kamio said. Then he chuckled to himself. "I bet you're real mad at me now."

"Sure…whatever." Said Shishido. "I'm mad that you're so lame, if that's what you mean."

"No, that wasn't what I meant, but that's good enough." Said Kamio as he stuck his nose up in the air and walked away.

"Um…" said the other three as they continued to be in the kitchen. And they were bonding. They had bonded before because Oishi was being kind of a psychopath, and Kamio missed out on that because he was stuck outside. Now these three were an impenetrable trio and NOTHING would get in the way of their friendship!

"I'm going to go see if Oishi wants to go on a walk but I don't want either of you to come." Said Itsuki as he stood up and walked outside.

"And I'm going to go do something that doesn't involve being in the same room as you guys." Said Sengoku as he went into the living room.

"And I'm going to look through this cookbook and try to find something to make that doesn't involve any work or either of you." Said Shishido as he flipped through the cookbook. But what he said was kind of pointless since the other two had already left. But I'm sure they would have been very hurt had they still been there. Oh yes.

Team Six
"Before the day is through, you must take the Pet for a walk."

Akutsu crumpled the paper in his hand.

"RYOU!" Akutsu bellowed as he stood at the front door. "RYOU GET HERE RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS!"

Akutsu didn't even have to start counting down as Ryou sprinted around the corner.

"What?" Ryou said.

"We're going for a walk." Akutsu answered, tossing a leash at him and then spinning his Brother hat around backwards.

"…What?" Ryou repeated.

"Just put the leash on because we're going for a walk!" Akutsu yelled, opening up a paper bag and putting it over his head.

"What's with the paper bag?" Ryou asked.

"You think I want people to know that I'm doing this idiotic thing?" Akutsu demanded.

"…Can I use a paper bag too?" Ryou whined.

"FINE." Said Akutsu as Ryou ran off to get himself a paper bag.

"Where are you going?" Atsushi asked as Ryou put a paper bag over his head.

"Apparently, I'm going on a walk with Akutsu." Ryou answered as he trudged off.

Atsushi raised an eyebrow as he heard the front door open and then slam shut. He shrugged and walked into the kitchen where Oshitari and Kaidou both were.

"Surprisingly enough, Atsushi, you made the correct choice when you assigned Kaidou to be our family's Mom." Oshitari commented as he ate some sort of delectable dish that Kaidou made.

"Just so you know, that is NOT a meal." Kaidou said explicitly. "That's just a random snack that I made and you just ate it. And Akutsu ate some of it too. And so did Ryou. All that's left is YOU, Atsushi."

"…" Atsushi said. "I'm good. I just had a banana."

"WHAT?" yelled Kaidou, slamming his hand down on the table, which made Oshitari's plate fly up into the air and then land. Oshitari didn't really flinch, but Atsushi jumped high up into the air just like the plate. "Who gave you permission to eat a banana?"

"Well no one, I was just hungry so I figured I'd eat—"

"So I guess you were also the one who left the knife covered in peanut butter on the counter so I had to clean it up!" Kaidou inferred.

"Um…"

"You had peanut butter with your banana, DIDN'T YOU?" Kaidou yelled as he advanced towards Atsushi.

"Kaidou, Kaidou…" Oshitari said calmly. "I don't think killing Atsushi is really necessary."

"He's going to spoil his appetite!" Kaidou said.

"Uh…sorry…?" Atsushi tried. "It'll never happen…again?"

"Damn straight it won't." Kaidou crossed his arms. "Now, to make it up to me, you have to eat some of that."

He pointed at Oshitari's plate.

Cautiously, Atsushi inched over to the plate and took a bite very slowly and very tentatively.

"HA!" said Kaidou, doing a slight gesture of victory. "I finished my task. I got you all to eat something when it wasn't mealtime. I win. I did it first. 15-Love for the second year."

"…" Oshitari and Atsushi both looked at each other as Kaidou strode away.

Team Seven
"There is a one hundred percent chance that I will complete my task of starting an argument and then apologizing to Inui." Renji reported to Sanada.

"Oh?" said Sanada.

"Yes." Said Renji. "If he knows it is my task, it won't prove to be terribly difficult. However, Sanada, there is a fifteen percent chance that you will complete your task of taking Jirou for a walk."

"What's that supposed to mean?" demanded Sanada angrily. "Are you saying I'm not capable of doing something so simple?"

"Jirou is sleeping." Renji reminded him. "You cannot wake him up."

"Oh right…" said Sanada with a frown.

"Along those lines, there is an eleven percentchance that Jirou will complete his task of stealing something precious to me and hiding it in the backyard." Renji went on. "And Inui has already completed HIS task, so we have nothing to worry about."

Just then, Tetsu walked in.

"Wait, did I just hear you guys talking about the tasks?" Tetsu asked.

"Yes." Said Sanada and Renji.

"I thought those were supposed to be a secret." Tetsu said slowly.

"They are." Said Renji.

"But we like taking the fun out of everything." Sanada finished up.

"Oh." said Tetsu. "Well, if I can avoid dire consequences…Sanada, my task is just to switch clothes with you."

Sanada raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" he questioned.

"There is a ninety percent chance that Sanada will eventually agree to your request." Renji reported.

"Ninety percent?" said Tetsu. "Why not one hundred percent?"

Renji shrugged. "There's a chance Sanada could be an ass for no reason."

"Renji!" said Sanada. "That insult was for no reason!"

"Sanada, I said that there was only a ten percent chance that you would be an ass for no reason." Renji reminded him. "That's a very slim chance."

"I'm offended that you think there is even a slim chance." Sanada looked hurt and dejected.

"I apologize for my inference." Renji said. "Please forgive me."

"I don't know." Said Sanada. "I don't want to."

"Well, there you go." Said Renji. "Data doesn't lie."

Just then, Jirou entered the room yawning very loudly, as if trying to get attention.

"Well, well, he's up." Said Sanada. "Perhaps he will complete his task after all. Maybe your data DOES lie, Renji."

"What do you mean?" Jirou yawned, only looking half awake.

"Renji predicted that there was only an eleven percent chance that you will complete your task of burying something precious to him in the backyard." Sanada said.

"Oh…really?" said Jirou with a smile.

Silence befell the household.

"Wait…" said Renji. "…Where's Inui?"

Tetsu, Renji and Sanada all looked at each other and then at Jirou who was now giggling maniacally.

"DEAR GOD!" they shouted as they sprinted to the backyard and Jirou only stood there chuckling at their expense.

And that's when Inui walked in.

"What are you laughing at?" Inui asked.

"Oh…just people." Said Jirou. "They get me every time."

"I see." Said Inui, adjusting his glasses.

Team Eight
Jackal slammed the door open so intensely that the doorknob got lodged in the wall. He stomped into the house with the most angry looking frown EVER, and Atobe strolled in right after him.

"Oh, welcome back, Jackal!" said Bane. "How was your totally random walk with Atobe?"

Jackal reached out and grabbed Bane by the throat.

"Like cancer." He said plainly as he let go.

Bane choked a little bit as Jackal lumbered past him.

"I suppose this is a bad time to ask if you want to switch clothes with me just for kicks, huh?" Bane called after him, but Jackal slammed the door to the Kids room.

"We had quite the interesting talk." Said Atobe. "Though he is quite simple minded. I could forgive that."

"How kind." Said Bane sarcastically.

"Now, if you'll excuse me." Said Atobe as he swept by and made his way to the Parents room.

When he opened the door, he was shocked to discover someone was already on the bed with his face buried in the pillow.

Atobe stood there looking betrayed as if this had ALWAYS been his room and everyone should know better.

"What do you think you're doing?" Atobe bellowed.

Shinji didn't react at first, but then he slowly turned his head towards Atobe to reveal that the pillow was soaked with tears, and his eyes were still leaking.

"Whoa, what's wrong with you?" Atobe said, raising an eyebrow.

"Yuuta said some very hurtful things to me." Shinji sighed in a very depressed fashion.

"And…you're crying?" Atobe clarified.

"Tears cleanse my emotions." Shinji answered.

"Why are you letting a second year push you around?" Atobe asked.

Shinji frowned. "I'm a second year too."

"Oh." said Atobe. "I'm sorry. I can see why you're crying then."

Atobe then stepped outside the room and shut the door behind him. He went into the living room where Yuuta was sitting watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

He cleared his throat and Yuuta turned around.

"Did you say very hurtful things to Shinji?" Atobe asked.

Yuuta shrugged. "I told him to get a haircut, but that's it." Yuuta said. "Why, is he still crying?"

"Yes." Said Atobe.

"I guess I should go apologize." Said Yuuta as he got up and practically skipped towards the Parents room.

Atobe only stood there dumbly for a little while as he waited for someone else to walk in and interact with him.

"MAIL!" came Bane's voice as he walked in the house. He waited for everyone else to assemble, but clearly they were all very busy, so he decided to just share the mail with Atobe.

"Let's see," said Atobe, taking the letter away from him within two seconds. "It seems as though there is another challenge at the tennis courts today."

"YES!" said Bane. "I love playing tennis!"

"It says here that we won't be playing tennis." Atobe said, pointing at the title of the letter that was underlined, bolded and repeated six or seven times.

"What?" said Bane, looking at the letter. "It must be a typo or something."

"Well, if that is the case, I am still playing Singles 1." Atobe clarified. "Get the others together, and we shall go play our long overdue tennis match."
