Chapter 5: No Supervision

Jake:

Amber is now one of our constant visitors (well, our only one, actually). She took Mom and Dad out for something all day, and Nora is at work. Charlie...well, who knows.

So, we did what any normal family of twelve would do. Go crazy.

But poor Sarah and me, we can't! We have our casts on for another day...one day! So now, we're hiding in our room. With the door locked.

You can just hear everything. There is a hockey game going on outside and our door is the home team's goal. I'm so proud of that fact, but very angry that we weren't out there playing. It's not a very good team either. Jessica and Kim against Nigel and Kyle. It's fun to listen to, though.

Henry was next door to us, painting his clarinet. He says it's washable...but that's not what the bottle says.

Now Mark was outside, we really don't want to know what he's doing. As for the others, we can't find them. Their loss.

"Oh, for the love of Mike!" I cried.

"Why, what's wrong?" Sarah turned to me.

I shook my head, "No! I really mean Mike. Look," I pointed at the window where Mike is swinging back and forth, back and forth.

"Sarah! Jake! Isn't this awesome! Wanna try? You don't need ANY hands!" He's laughing like a little crazy person.

"Man, get down from there. You're going to hurt yourself one of these days," Sarah snapped at Mike. Even though the kids with casts on from roller-skating down the stairs shouldn't be talking, we are right.

"Errrrr..fiiiine," Mike growled. We opened the window and watched him slowly fall. He doesn't like using the house to put his feet against to push off. It's more fun to freefall in his world.

So we sort of waited out the hockey by wandering the internet for two hours. Then we heard the sweet voice (not) of Lorraine.

"HEY PEOPLE! LUNCH IS READY!" She yelled. By now, all of us were upstairs, and came stampeding down.

We took out seats and stared at our lunch.

"Okay! We have: Lollipops, old Halloween candy, Twizzlers, leftover macaroni and cheese, and toast," Lorraine grinned.

"Uh, toast? That doesn't really go in the junk food category," Kim stated.

Lorraine smirked, "Well, it's all I know how to cook at the moment! So dig in!" We were all a little afraid of her now, and we did start eating.

So, after our lovely "home cooked" meal, we all had a nasty sugar high.

And how do you deal with this, you ask? GO OUTSIDE! And, we aren't supposed to. But the sugar is really starting to take over, so I could care less.

Sarah and I are jumping on the trampoline, Mike was back on the roof, Nigel and Kyle were smacking each other with foam baseball bats, and everyone else is in the pool.

"Should we go in there?" I asked. It looks so cool and refreshing, it's really warm out.

Sarah shook her head, "No! When Mom and Dad come home, we can get out the back of the net. So for once, everyone is in trouble, but not us!"

I grinned, "I love you, my evil plotting twin!" So I hugged her.

"Er, okay, enough family time..." we pulled away from the hug.

At around 5:00...or 2:00 in Nigel and Kyle's world, Mom and Dad pulled up. Sarah and I saw them coming up the street, and we were already in our room. By the time everyone else gets yelled at, we'll be all cleaned up. So, we both put out heads under the showerhead and got it wet, and Sarah put her hair in a towel. Now it looks like we both took showers, so no one could see the sweat that we had in our hair from jumping so much.

"Where are Sarah and Jake?!" We heard Dad say. So then footsteps came closer, and closer, and closer, until Mom and Dad opened the door to find us leaning against out beds, talking.

"Hey! What did you guys do today?" Mom asked sweetly.

"Well, we watched a little TV, ate lunch, and each took showers!" I said with a grin.

Dad nodded. "Good for you! So now everyone except you two...and Mike, becuase we can't find him yet...are grounded."

So, they left us. We sighed in relief but almost jumped when there was a knock at the window.

"Hey! Guys! Can you let me in? I sort of got stuck..." Mike sighed. We pulled him in and unhooked him.

"Get under the bed!" Sarah whispered to him.

Mike stared. "Why?!"

"Just do it!" Sarah pushed him under. I fully understood.

"Uh, Mom? Dad? We found Mike! We were playing Hide and Seek before lunch, and I guess we forgot to find him. So he's with us! We're getting the dust off him," I called to them. We weren't really lying. We did play with him early, and did forget him. He just came out during lunch.

"Okay guys! Make sure all the dust is off him, and he gets into clean clothes," Mom yelled back. We were going to have to anyway. He is covered in grass stains and the chalk that you put on your hands.

Yet another plan perfectly executed by Sarah and Jake.

A/N: R&R! Chapter 6 will come up soon! Wow, wonder how that happens...
