Miley walked barefoot, down the hallway – towards the kitchen. "No Mom, everything's fine…" she rolled her eyes as she passed a few family pictures hanging on the walls, "Yes, I know. Have Noah in bed by 9… I've been doing this for a while now!" Her Mom wanted her to baby-sit Noah that night, which was a big task. Noah was one bundle of hyper ness; mini version of Miley. "Yeah, I was planning on just making her mac and cheese for-"she stopped mid-sentence once she reached the kitchen, her jaw dropping to the floor. "MANDY!" she screamed, Mandy jumped up from the ground, where she had been cleaning up a puddle of apple juice and skittles. "I gotta go Mom" Miley groaned into the phone, then hung up. "Should I even ask…?" Miley sighed.

"Well…" Mandy started.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna go…" Miley started to back away slowly. She accidentally bumped into Joe in the act. "Woops, watch out there Miles" Joe smiled while popping some skittles into his mouth and then taking a sip out of his apple juice.

"Oh ok, now I see…" Miley giggled.

"NOAH!" Mandy shouted up the stairs, "WHAT!?!" the little girl screamed from her bedroom, "YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE FOR YOUR COLD!!" Mandy shouted. One minute later, Noah appeared by the top of the stairs. "You mean that disgusting pink stuff?" she asked, scrunching her nose up in disgust. "Mhmm" Mandy nodded her head, "Wait, no! I mean, it's not disgusting!"

Noah just rolled her eyes, "The person who gives you it always says that!"

Mandy had to give Noah some props, she caught on quickly.

"No really, it's not! Here, come downstairs and I'll show you" Mandy insisted. Noah gave in and walked down the stairs, huffing and puffing in the process.

Noah and Mandy stood in the kitchen, Mandy holding a spoonful of medicine in one hand; smiling. "See, it's fine!"

The little girl rolled her eyes, "I'm not drinking that yucky stuff. Now, can I go back to my room?"

"What do you do up there anyways?" Mandy asked, annoyed.

"STUFF! THAT'S WHAT I DO!" Noah exclaimed.

"Fine! Just go up there and get even sicker!" Mandy spat.

"You mean, even more sick…" Noah corrected her.

"WHATEVER!" Mandy exclaimed, while bringing the medicine to her lips and sipping it; forgetting what it was.

Noah burst out into laughter, "What?" Mandy asked confused, licking her lips. Noah pointed to the spoon, continuing to laugh.

"OH GOD!" Mandy exclaimed, running to the sink and bringing the faucet to her mouth and splashing water on her tongue.

"I'll be upstairs smarty" Noah giggled, running out of the kitchen.

"GWAT GWET GWISSY!" Mandy shouted, water over pooling; out of her mouth.

Miley walked into the kitchen to find Mandy cleaning water up off the floor. She turned around quickly, looking around the room frantically. "Oh god, Joe's here again?!?"

"So how was babysitting last night?" Nick asked Miley as the two sat on her couch, eating chips and watching Grey's Anatomy. Hey, some things just don't change.

She smiled deviously, "I pretty much made Mandy do it…"

"She totally gave in too, didn't she?" he rolled his eyes.

"Mandy's not too bright at 8 PM"

"I HEARD THAT!" Mandy exclaimed from upstairs.

Out of no where, Joe walked into the room eating some fruit salad, "Hey Miles. Did you guys need this or something?" he asked, referring to the fruit salad.

"JOE!" Miley exclaimed, shooting up from the couch, "THAT'S FOR THE BRUNCH WE'RE HAVING THIS AFTERNOON WITH YOUR PARENTS!"

"Oh…well then." Joe shrugged his shoulders, biting into a strawberry.

Miley shook her head before collapsing onto the couch, "Hey don't feel bad." Nick insisted, "You don't have to live with him!"

"So, I've been thinking…" Joe started.

"Oh god. This can't be good…" Kevin rolled his eyes.

"I'm serious!" Joe reasoned. The two were sitting on the Jonas' front lawn, in beach chairs. Random, but that's just Joe and Kevin for ya.

"I wanna take Mandy on a date. Like a real date…" Joe considered.

"Hey, that's awesome dude!" Kevin congratulated his brother, patting him on the back.

"I might take her to-"

"Not Chuckie Cheese's" Kevin cut in.

"Ok well then how about-"

"McDonald's is not considered a fancy restaurant" Kevin sighed.

"Jeez, ok well then how about …"

"No. "Accepted" is not a romantic movie" Kevin rolled his eyes.

"GOSH! DISS ALL THE GREAT IDEAS THEN KEVIN!" Joe exclaimed, jumping out of his seat and running back inside.

"NICE TALKING TO YOU TOO!" Kevin called after him.


So my goal is pretty much to just make you laugh throughout these chapters. That's the point of this story. Light-hearted and easy -- not really any drama. I hope this makes you smile :)
