So here we are, moving on from the last chapter. I think that's it...

I woke up on Sunday, with a massive headache and sore all over. I looked over at my clock; the blue digital screen read 12:36pm. I groaned and rolled out of bed before heading downstairs to find food. I was heading down the stairs when I heard a door open behind me. I turned around and saw Spot heading downstairs as well.

"Hey Angel," He mumbled drearily.

"Hey" I yawned. "Where is everyone?"

"They must've just let us sleep."

"Yeah, do you want food?"

"Yeah, food sounds good," He said as we both headed down to the kitchen where a note awaited on the fridge.

Angelica and Sean,

We decided to let you sleep after the day you two had yesterday. We'll be home around three this afternoon, we will most likely have Aleisha, Mush and Skittery with us so be decent by the time we get home.

Love Mom, Dad, Riley, and Brittany

"Ok, Spot, do you want actual food, or do you want cereal?" I asked digging through the fridge.

"Cereal is real food," He protested. "But, if you don't mind, could we have eggs and bacon?"

"Yeah, sure why not?" I said pulling eggs and bacon out along with a frying pan. I made the food as we sat down in front of our TV in the family room. I flicked it on and what should happen to be on, coverage of what happened yesterday.

"A local college student was attacked in the parking garage near the Hotel de Conlon yesterday." I immediately turned off the TV, sick of the attention I was getting. Couldn't they just let me be? Spot must have noticed the change because he grabbed Narnia out of our DVD case and sat through it without complaining.

"I'm sorry you had to see that yesterday, Spot," I said.

"It isn't a memory I wish to relive," He replied, "But what would've happened had I not been there? You couldn't have fought him off by your self."

"No, I couldn't, and that's the part that scares me. I don't know what I would have done had Jack not come in right when he did."

"Yeah we were lucky that he came," Spot said. A moment of silence followed until the phone rang, making me jump. Spot and I both leaped up off the couch racing for the phone. Spot got there a few moments before I did and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Spot, it's Blink, um, I was gonna ask Riley ta go on a date with me and I need to know her favorite restaurant. You wouldn't know now would you?"

"Uh, talk ta Angel, she knows her better," Spot said.

"All right, can I talk to Angel then?"

"Yeah hang on," Spot told Blink. "ANGEL, PHONE!" he yelled in my ear.

"Geh, I'm standing right here no need to yell!" I said from behind Spot who turned around quickly hitting me in the eye with the phone.

"OW!"

"Ah! Are you okay?"

"NO I'M NOT OKAY; I HAVE AN IDIOT BROTHER WHO JUST HIT ME IN THE EYE WITH THE BLOODY PHONE!"

"Ah, Blink wants to know what Riley's favorite restaurant is, do you know?"

"It's Pappadeaux's," I moaned holding my hand over my stinging eye.

"It's Pappadeaux's," Spot said into the phone.

"Thanks Spot. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye Blink."

"Oh I'm gonna kill you!" I glared.

"Tickle tickle." He said reaching for me.

"Oh no you don't, not now!"

"Uh huh!" he said right as my parents walked in the door.

"Ah Spot, stop it!" I screamed. My family came rushing into the kitchen to find me standing on the counter holding a pot in my hands.

"Angelica Faith, why on earth are you on the counter?" my mom asked sternly.

"Because, your beloved little son over there decided to tickle me!"

"Sean don't tickle your sister," My mom told him.

"MMM" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Oh that's mature!" Riley said walking in.

"I never said I was the mature one!" I countered.

"And you just proved that statement," Spades said as she too walked in briefly before returning to the family room.

"Good gravy, what did you guys do bring Grand Central Station home with you?" I asked referring to the commotion coming from the living room.

"No, just the rest of the family," Riley quipped. I walked into the living room to see Media, Mush, Mouse, Bumlets, Ace, Skittery, and Spades occupying our couch and floor.

"ANGEL!" they all shouted at once.

"Hey, I feel very underdressed at the moment," referring to the fact that I was wearing a turquoise tank top, yellow star pajama pants and a bathrobe.

"Nah, if I had a choice, I'd be in my pajamas too." said Bumlets.

"Good to know." I said turning around and heading up to my room to get at least a bra on.

For some reason, every time I go up to my room and come back down the people in our house multiply. When I got back to the family room, Jack and Blink had joined the throng.

"It's getting really crowded in here," Mush said.

"Angel, you really need to stop going upstairs." Spot said.

"Why?"

"Because every time you do more people show up."

"Yeah, but Blink and I are leaving, so you will have two less people here," Riley said.

"ELBOW ROOM!" Skittery shouted.

"Ow, Skits, you're crushing my spleen." Spades yelled.

"Get your foot out of my face!" Spot yelled as well hitting Skittery in the leg.

"Ow what was that for?" Skittery protested.

"You have to ask?" Jack commented.

"Maybe it's crowded because Skittery takes up so much room," Ace added.

"Yeah!" Mouse confirmed.

"All in favor of telling Skittery to get his butt on da floor say aye!" Jack yelled.

"AYE!" Everyone shouted.

"Ha ha," I laughed from the doorway.

"So, I think we should watch Batman!" Media suggested. "OW!" she complained when Mush hit her over the head with a pillow.

"Sometimes I wonder if you love Christian Bale more than ya love me!" Mush said.

"Media, I think he caught on to your scheme," I said playfully.

"Shut up Acorn! He's just eye candy, Mush, just like you," She said snuggling into him.

"AWWWWW" echoed everyone the room.

"What have ya'll never seen PDA before?" Mush asked.

"Yeah, we just like to tease you two," said Spades before Media chucked a pillow at her, and missed hitting, guess who, me, in the head, again.

"Do you people have a death wish on my head or something?" I whined.

"No, pillows are just attracted to you." Jack said.

"Oh ha ha! As are telephones I suppose?" I glared at Spot.

"And doors!" Spades chimed in.

"Those aren't the only things that are attracted to her," Ace mumbled as she observed Jack watching me more than usual.

"What did you say, Ace?" Spot asked.

"Nothing, just mumbling to myself," she said suddenly turning red.

"Yeah Mouse does that sometimes too," Bumlets said only to be hit over the head by a pillow from Mouse.

"Keep that thing out of the air!" I yelled jumping on the couch, making everyone sitting there groan. "Twice is too many times for one day, especially after having a concussion!"

"Oh right, uh sorry about that," Media said.

"Yeah, whatever Med," I said jumping back down to the ground before settling on the floor, next to Jack and Skittery.

"Hey kids," my mom said walking into the family room, "We're going to be gone for a little while, um, here's money for pizza."

"Ohhh, where are you two off to? A date?" I teased seeing her dressed up.

"As a matter of fact," She said smiling.

"Bye we'll see you when you get back!" We all called to them as they walked out the door.

"Let's play Sardines!" suggested Spades.

"You just want to make out with Skittery," I objected.

"No, I like the game," she tried to defend herself.

"Whatever," I said. "Who's it first."

"Uh, how bout whoever unexpectedly gets hit in the face with a pillow goes first," I said, getting ready to take revenge on Media.

"Strange, but ok," everyone agreed.

I picked up a pillow and got ready to hit Media square in the face with the pillow when I heard Jack yell, "OW!"

"What?" I asked.

"Someone threw the pillow at me."

"WHAT?"

"I don't know who did it."

"Aw, man, I was gonna get Media!"

"I'll remember that, I thought I recognized that evil glint in your eye!" she said. I mentally slapped myself for giving my plan away.

"Ok, Jack, go hide."

"Where are da boundaries?" he asked.

"Ok, uh, inside the house is off limits, and stick to the backyard, it's big enough to hold us all," Spades said.

"All right everyone, outside we all go!" Spot said herding everyone out. We all gathered in an inward facing circle staring at a spot on the ground while Jack hid.

"99, 100, READY OR NOT HERE WE COME!" I yelled as we all split up to look for Jack. I scanned the yard for the most likely places to hide and noted that the tree in the middle of the yard was off limits because it was so high up that no one could reach it. I started slowly creeping along the house and keeping count of where people were. I noticed that I had lost Ace and Mouse. I went to where I had seen them last, which was over by the shrubs along the privacy fence. I snuck over there and started searching behind when I saw a foot sticking out from under the bushes. I slowly stalked toward it trying not to make a sound.

"Found you!" I said in a harsh whisper. I started to step over the foot and make my way to the end of the line when I felt something snag my leg and catapulting me forward to the ground. Instead of feeling hard ground under me I felt something very different.

"Oomph," the thing I landed on said.

"Sorry," I said my eyes still not adjusted to the dark light under the bush.

"That's okay, Angel," said the voice I recognized to be Jack. "But would you mind not digging your elbow into me shoulder, it kinda hurts."

"Oh, right, sorry..." Thankful for the cover of darkness so no one could see how badly I was blushing. I rolled off of him and to the side, still blushing quite badly.

"I wanna have a talk with you two later." I hissed at Mouse and Ace.

"Yes, ma'am," They said. That was really embarrassing for me; actually this whole weekend had been one embarrassing situation after another. Apparently, it wasn't enough that Jack had to rescue me from a goon and saw me in my bra, but I had to fall on top of him too! Gah, I wondered if it could get any worse, let me tell you, it did.
