This is about Raz and his family, but I made it ridiculously short because at the end there are the descriptions of the family Mwaahahahaaaahahahaaaa! yeah I'm done now... Thank you for reading! X)

Chapter 6: A Family Reunion of sorts

It all happened so fast. A blur of color here and there, little and big hands grabbing his limbs, tall and short beings squeezing the air out of his lungs. And Raz was grinning like a fool.

"Razputin how have you been?"

"My goodness boy, when did you last eat?"

"What's school like?"

"We missed you so much"

"Did you make some money?"

"Alright, alright, one at a time. I missed you all too", Raz let out a squeaky laugh as his body building Uncle Edgar pulled him into a tight squeeze.

"Haha, made him laugh, I get first crack at it", Edgar perched Raz onto his shoulder.

"So how was that academy of yours?"

"Oh it's alright, but I know the stuff they teach there already"

"Well that's good, shows your as sharp as the rest of us", the two took a look at their family and burst into laughter.

"Did he just insult us?" Lizzie, one of Raz's cousins, whispered to the others.

"I'm only kidding. That's good though, shows just how well your father raised you", then every one bursted.

"I heard that!" Rafael called from the back of the boulder, helping Theo (He refuses to let work go undone) load a broken cotton candy machine into it.

"Ah, I better go help your father there, excuse me Razputin"

"Of course", Edgar let him down and rushed to the two men. Raz turned to his 19 remaining fellow clan's men and family from Lithuania.

"We all missed you alots", Kayla hugged Raz's leg and looked up at him with big eyes.

"I missed you too", he looked down fondly then looked at the others. "So how was your trip to America?"

"It was so-so, but at least we came on a plane then on a boat", Joana, Raz's 20 year old cousin spoke, then picked up Kayla.

"That's good", Raz spent the next hour talking and catching up with every one.

Later on that day…

Noa and Delilah were gossiping, stretching and practiced their dancing with the girls by the creek.

"So Raz has a girlfriend now?" Lizzie asked Noa.

"Yes, they'll be together for 4 years in 2 weeks"

"Is that true?" the girls looked at Delilah who nodded.

"Oh wow, I wish I was that lucky, but alas we travel too much", Amelia signed.

"Well Raz ran away after father told him he couldn't go to that summer camp for psychics, so he rode the world's smallest horse there. Jose, that guy with the mustache you saw talking to the ticket guy, was furious

"Oh I can imagine, if my meal ticket was the worlds smallest horse and was taken away from me at the dead of night, I'd be pissed", Amelia joked.

"Hehe, any way Raz told us when the horse got tired he let it run free, that made Jose even more furious, and got a ride from the nicest trucker. After he got to the camp the entrance gate was locked so he climbed over the wall and jumped tree to tree like a monkey. When he reached the camp fire site he was caught by the three Psychonauts there, Sasha Nein, Milla Vodello, and Coach Oleander. He convinced the coach to let him stay, so he got to stay there until could find away to pick him up. Remember Delilah the look on dads face when he found out what Raz did?"

Delilah just nodded.

The Boys…

"So… what you guys doing lately?" Josiah asked out of the blue. Raz, Art, Donny, Josiah, Jacob, Benji, Flow, and Dart were lying in the grass looking at the clouds.

"Not much, just laying here till dad tells us to get off our butts and start practicing for the act and help set up"

"Ah", Flow looked at another cloud, "Hey look, doesn't it look like a bunny in a blender?"

"Which one?" Raz followed to where Flow's finger led. "Oh that one"

"Yeah man, it's awesome" Benji chuckled, "and check that one out, looks like a football hitting a cop in the crotch". Being guys they fanaticized it.

"Sons, we need you to get the place ready for today's act. Then I want you to do another run through the routine, got it?" Raz and Art shot up, "YES SIR!" Rafael gave them a small salute and chuckled back to his work.

"Well have fun working boys", Dart closed his eyes smiling.

"Yeah, we'll keep your spots warm", Benji shifted and rolled over.

"Yeah, well you guys enjoy your little vacation, just hope that nothing happens to you while we're busy" Art trailed off as he spotted a bee's hive hanging on a tree. He shot Raz a look, Raz caught on. Within seconds the bee hive was chasing the three teens as Donny and Art walked away calmly, Raz was invisible.

Now to cut the story short I've added details about each of the main Aquatos of the clan and some of the circus members in the story.

Aquatos in the American Circus:

Rafael: Father of Artemis, Noa, Raz, Donny, and Delilah. We know him from the game. Looks like he did in the game too. Taught the kids all he knew about being an acrobat, and then drilled them, schooled them, and trained each one to reach their full potential. And when that wasn't' enough, he teaches them gypsy songs and dances. He plays the balalaika.

Silvia: was Rafael's wife and mother of their children. More on her will be posted.

Artemis: Just as tall as Raf. He is 18 and has long reddish purplish hair in a ponytail but has a streak of teal blue hair on his right side cuz it's his 'good side', has dark green eyes. Plays the balalaika-contrabass. Wears a Black AC/DC shirt with holes and brown pants.

Noa: Her name is not short for anything, it's just like that. She is 17,has the same eyes and hair her brother has, cept she has no streaks or highlights or anything cool like that... hehe... She wears a white long sleeve shirt that's cut off at her stomach, a green skirt that has patches sewn in, and a green bandana. Walks bare foot (I wish I could walk bare foot everywhere without thinking about stepping on gum).

Donatello (Donny): is 11, had purplish hair like his father but got it cut like a Mohawk and dyed it dark blue at age 10. He has dark green eyes, Khaki shorts, and a yellow shirt that says, "This was white when I bought it...". Likes to stick with Art. Possibly the only one that got Theo to teach him how to play the bayan 0.o

Delilah: 9-years-old and very quiet, very shy. She can talk to her family no problem, but mainly talks to her older sister, auntie Pam, her dad, and Raz. The origin of this will be revealed in a later chapter. Has brilliant red hair like her mother and the same bright green eyes that her mom and Raz have. Rafael is suspicious that she is psychic ever since she fell off the tight rope at 20 feet when she was 6 and 'bounced' off the tiny trampoline that was for the clown act and back onto the tight rope.

Aquatos from the European Circus:

Uncle Edgar: Husband of Pamela, father of the Joana, Elizabeth, Amelia, Benjamin, Simon and D'Artagnan, Rafael's only brother and the strong man at the circus in Europe. He has brownish green eyes, like his daughters, dark purple hair and a muscular build. Wears tights similar to Rafael's. Can play a mean violin and sax, taught the others too but we'll get to that later. (I'm such a band geek xDDD)

Auntie Pam: The storyteller/ fortuneteller at the circus. She tells the audience stories and translates the plays they put up on special nights. Her role is similar to the head shaman in the clan, but mainly makes potions and cures for illness and dieseases since they dont' go to hospitals. She believes Windex can cure any wart, pimple, rash, burn, and boil. Wears a white dress with a red sash, has charms and beads on her wrist and has gold hooped earrings. Have long curly black hair, light tan skin, and brown eyes.

Joana: The oldest of her siblings at age 20. Being the oldest of the Aquato offspring she is the godmother of Kayla. She assists her mother with her act and is her apprentice. She plays the tambourine when she dances some roles in the plays and taught the other girls how to belly dance. She wears an outfit similar to Noa's, but has a plain red sash like her mother and has her long curly dark brown hair in a messy ponytail. She too is bare foot with gold anklets, sports gold hoop earrings, and has brownish green eyes.

Elizabeth (Lizzie): 16 and is older than her twin Amelia by 1 min and 32 seconds. She likes to play the wooden flute alongside her sister and loves to dance. Her specialty in the circus is fire eating and fire breathing, so she taught her brothers how to. She also does tricks with fire, like dancing barefoot on extremely hot coals or swallowing an freshly lit match then coughing up the ashes, but she drinks a lot of water for that (chug chug chug). Some call it magic but she calls it parlor tricks. She wears cloths similar to her older sister but wears a scarlet scarf with orange and gold flame designs at the tips. Has straight black hair and her fathers eyes. Out at the town she wears a red shirt with a black vest and worn out black pants.

Amelia: Loves music, reading, and getting into trouble, then getting out of it. She is the escape artist, but can't do any acts including water. When some say it's Lizzie that's the reckless sister, it's really Amelia, but she's just real good at keeping a poker face. In her spare time she helps her brothers pull incredible pranks, when she's not reading her science books she 'got' from a book burning (her ability to stay hidden and get out of binds really comes in handy). She sometimes wears identical cloths like her sister but has a green scarf with leaves and vines sewn at the edges. In her relaxing time she wears plain blue jeans, a white shirt with a tan jacket with slits at the shoulders, and her scarf. She and her sister are barefoot most of the time but wear old muddy sneakers when they hit the city on their errands.

Benjamin (Benji): 18 and lovin it. He's an acrobat and is the sub human cannonball if the real human cannonball is unable to go and perform. Likes to lift weights with his dad and in his acts he uses devil sticks. When needed he plays the clarinet or tenor sax. He's got brains like his sister Amelia because he secretly sneaks to her corner of the trailer and takes a peak at her book collection. He has short dark purple hair and brown eyes. Wears a tan leather vest and pants similar to Aladdin and wears those pointy tipped boots.

Simon (Flow): the adopted son, he is 19 now. More on his origins are later on in the story. He loves playing the gypsy guitar, a 7 sting guitar, and bongos. He performs his music during the plays with Benji and the twins when they aren't' dancing. He likes to compose and practice his style of fire breathing and eating. During one of his experiments he burned down a small tree and felt so bad about it he sulked all month. He is a vegetarian and a tree hugger so he gets emotional about de-forestation. Has Jet black hair, pale skin, and orange eyes. Likes to wear sandals, his torn up cat scratch tan worker pants, a green shirt and a silver bracelet he's had since he was really little.

D'Artagnan (Dart): The youngest at 13. He is an alright guy, but when he's near a girl he likes he just loses it. His voice cracks, he gets nervous and jumpy, his knees weaken, the usual. He is the knife thrower and is the head knife thrower's apprentice back home. Has for some bizarre reason white hair, yellow brown eyes, and light tan skin. He is skinny like Raz and likes to hang with his cousin a lot. Quite possibly psychic but no ones sure. Wears a long Link-like hat, an old worn out blue Chinese jacket, brown pants and old air walker shoes.

Kayla: The 6 year old goddaughter of Joana. She likes to be with people and can read lips. After her parents were taken away from her she has been under Joana and Auntie Pam's wing since she was 4. She likes to carry around a Capricorn plushy because it's her sign and has had it forever. She likes to watch the girls do their dancing and likes to help out when Auntie Pam and Joana work on their home-made medicine, and makes sure it doesn't mix with their dinner. She has silky black hair that she likes down, tan skin, blue eyes with slit ends (like me :D), and freckles. She wears denim overalls, a white shirt with a flower on it, and little sneakers.

Circus Members and various Clan members that really matter:

Theodore DeVince: The strong man of the Aquato circus in America (no duh). Has been best friends with Rafael since he ran away from his home in Canada when he was a young teen. The Aquatos took him in for a while, until he joined the Army to persue his dream of traveling the world. After coming back to America with battle wounds he was welcomed back into the AC with open arms. He was offered the job as the strong man, then after a year he married Jackie. He, just like Rafael and Edgar, wears his tights nearly all the time too. He is bald with a neat black mustache and has a thing for German beer.

Jackie Aquato DeVince: She left the circus to persue a medical degree in back in Europe and came to America to help take care of Rafael and his family after the circuses resident doctor was arrested for possesion. When Theo came back she tended to his wounds and took care of him. She takes turns with Auntie Pam in the fortunetelling caravan but is very, very, very good.

Mr. Jetson: He's like a fusion of Willy Wonka and Clopin from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Infact he did play as Clopin in his fine arts college's Hunchback of notre Dame play, which would explain his theatrical humor and supurb crowd savy. He is the juggling Ringmaster of the American Aquato circus. In his file his birthname is Michelangelo Giovanni Lestrange, and thats all any one knows about his mysterious past besides he attended college overseas and had a degree in theater. Many have asked him why he changed his name, but he always refuses. He has pale skin, long greasy looking black hair, a pointy nose, a small goatee, and the two carnivor tooths that sandwich his top four middle teeth are missing so he got pointy gold ones to fill in the gapes. He wears a white longsleeve stage shirt with a deep blue vest that really brings out his blue eyes, black pnats and dress shoes. He carries a black cane with a silver bulb handle, and a gold pocket watch that was the only possesion he held dear from his childhood.
