Yay! I'm back again with another update! I'm really shoveling these things out here these days, aren't I? Well, I bare depressing news everyone. There are now less than twenty chapters left of Summertime Love! (-tears-)

Also, I've been getting asked by a lot of you guys about when the gang is returning. Well, I'm telling you that they'll return in three chapters. Just so you guys know!

But, I digress. I'm going to (hopefully) finish Summertime Love within the next two weeks, three at max! I'll tell you when we're down to the last ten chapters. Anyway, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: -sigh- YuGiOh GX is NOT mine no matter HOW much I want it to be.

Claimer: Hehe, this all is mine! I own this title, idea, plot, and all original characters! I would list them, but then you'd have no chapter! I also own any other idea I throw in during the chapter!

xXx

Narrative POV

'Wow, this is entertaining,' Alexis thought with a smile. She got the basic gist of the game after only a few minutes of playing. Brad would hike, which is how May described it to her, the ball to Jaden. Kara, Aurora, and Sam would take off running and Jaden would throw it to one of them before the adults pulled his flag. If the kids caught it and made it to the end zone, which May explained again, than the kids got six points and Brad threw it to the end zone again and someone had to catch it for the extra two points or Brad ran it in for an extra point (1).

"Are you enjoying the game, Alexis?" May asked. She looked at her and smiled.

"Yes. It's a very interesting game." May laughed lightly and nodded.

"It's very fun; we play it every year during the get-together." This caught Alexis' attention. She turned in her seat slightly so my left leg was bent and resting on the bench by May. Mia, Zoey, and Tommy easily resituated when she moved.

"What do you guys do at these family get-togethers every year?" May looked at her.

"Jaden didn't tell you?" Alexis shook her head. May shook her head, making a tisking noise. "That's not very nice of him."

"I think he just wanted to surprise me," she defended him. May nodded.

"Knowing Jaden, that was probably the reason," May agreed. Alexis waited for her to continue. May took a drink of the water she was holding in her hand before continuing. "Anyway, every year it's mainly the same pattern. Jake and Shelbi arrive first because Shelbi hates being late. Then Mike and I arrive right on time. Dad and Mom are always late. As we arrive, the kids just play outside or inside; sometimes playing video games or sometimes swimming. Once all the kids are here, the boys, being Chris, Jake, and Mike, set up the Monster Badminton, as you've seen." Alexis nodded. "After that it's lunch. Once lunch is done, Jaden pulls out the four wheelers and they go out and ride those while we adults just catch up."

"You guys don't get to talk often?" May blinked once.

"Yes dear, we're so involved in our things; our own children and our work." This confused her.

"But all the boys work together and all of you girls work together." May smiled.

"Jaden told you that?" Alexis nodded. "Well, that is true dear but that's at work. We can't exactly sit down and talk. Though that doesn't stop us from doing it now and then," She chuckled. Alexis smiled. May smiled at her. "But, all the same, Alexis, it's not the same as being able to just sit down and talk about anything and everything." She nodded.

"I guess I see what you mean." May chuckled.

"Anyway, once the four wheelers get taken care of, it's time for flag football." I nodded. May then stopped and took a drink of her water. When she finished taking her drink, Alexis assumed she would continue talking. She didn't.

"Is that all?" May shook her head.

"No, but what happens next is very fun and should be a complete surprise to you." Alexis knitted her eyebrows together. Just when she was getting ready to question May, Skyler ran over to us.

"Mommy, can I have the keys to the car?" he asked. May smiled and nodded. She reached into her dress pocket and produced a key chain with a few keys and an electric car switch. She handed them to him.

"There you are, baby," she said. He took the keys smiling.

"Thanks, Mommy." She smiled and ruffled her son's hair.

"You're welcome, pumpkin; just keep those keys away from your brothers." Skyler nodded and ran off toward the driveway where Kyle and Tyler were waiting with Robby and Susan. Alexis looked at May confused but she just smiled at her. "You'll see." Alexis sighed and leaned back against the bench to watch the football game. Aurora just got thrown the ball and was running toward her end zone. Mike was running up on his niece when Jaden came running right up next to him. Mike looked at him and Jaden smiled at him. Jaden then waved and ran ahead of him to Aurora. She handed him the ball and he took off full sprint to the end zone. Mike just stopped and let him go. May laughed at the site.

"Why did Mike stop?" She laughed a little longer before answering.

"Jaden is the fastest on the field. When he has the ball you're better off just sitting down and watching," she explained. Alexis giggled and looked at her.

"Is there one thing Jaden isn't good at besides school?" May placed her index finger on her chin in a thinking manner.

"Umm, aside from school you ask? Hmmm…nothing comes to mind." Alexis laughed and May smiled at her. Phil and Sophie came over to them at that time and sat down next to Alexis. Mia and Zoey waved at them but made no move to move into their laps. Tommy was curled up against her stomach sucking on his thumb again with his eyes closed. He didn't even know that his grandparents had arrived.

"How's it going, Alexis?" Phil asked her as he draped his arm over his wife's shoulders. She smiled at him.

"It's going great, Phil." He smiled at her and then turned to look at Sophie.

"I told you, did I not tell you?" he said. Sophie sighed and nodded. Alexis knitted her eyebrows together.

"Told you what?" Sophie leaned around her husband to look at her.

"He told me that you were already comfortable around the family," she said. Phil nodded. This confused her.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, it took Morgan about two years to get comfortable calling us Phil and Sophie. Mark just started calling me Phil two years ago. Danny was never comfortable with it and then he just stopped coming over," Phil explained. Alexis felt an odd pang in my stomach at the mention of Danny. She almost forgot that he and Jaden used to be best friends. "Now Claire on the other hand, she was just like you, Alexis. She was calling me Phil from the moment I met the sweetheart. It took her only a month before she was calling me Grandpa!" Alexis smiled.

"I doubt I'd be that comfortable," she confessed. Phil shrugged.

"That's not what I meant, sweetheart. I was just comparing you to Claire." He reached over and patted her hand that was just resting on the back of Mia's head. "You two are the only ones to be so comfortable so quickly."

"Do you know who Phil is talking about, Alexis?" May asked. Alexis looked back at her and nodded.

"Yeah, Jaden told me who Claire was yesterday." May nodded.

"Good, I don't want you thinking 'who is this crazy old man talking about?'" Alexis laughed and Phil frowned at his daughter-in-law.

"Crazy now, am I, May?" he asked his tone light and teasing. May smiled at her father-in-law.

"Only slightly." He laughed. Alexis smiled at them. She was glad they were so comfortable around her so quickly. Though, now she wanted to know more about this Claire person. She'd have to ask Jaden about her later.

"How's it going?" Jaden asked as he walked over to them. He plopped down between May and Alexis, his arm falling around her shoulders. Zoey crawled out of her lap and into his. Mia crawled across her lap so she was situated on both of them. Jaden chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Who won?" May asked. Jaden sighed and pointed toward the field.

"Who do you think?" They turned our attention to the field seeing Sam standing in her end zone doing the weirdest touchdown dance. Alexis assumed that she had made the winning touchdown. May, Phil, and Sophie laughed at her.

"She's defiantly her father's daughter," Sophie said smiling at the memory of her youngest son. Jaden and Alexis looked at her.

"How so?" Jaden asked. She looked at them.

"Well, Mike was also so…" She struggled for a good word.

"Flamboyant?" Phil offered. Sophie nodded.

"That's it. Mike was very flamboyant as a child and Sam is also very flamboyant." May chuckled.

"Oh yes, Sam is very flamboyant," she agreed. They laughed quietly as Sam continued her touchdown dance.

"How long does she usually dance?" Alexis asked. She felt Jaden shrug.

"It varies. Sense it is the winning touchdown, she'll probably keep dancing for another few minutes," he guessed. She giggled and curled tighter into his side. He wrapped his arm tighter around her. Phil and Sophie were smiling at them.

"Oh!" May gasped. Jaden and Alexis turned to look at her. May had her hand on her stomach, rubbing it gently.

"What is it, Aunt May?" Jaden asked anxious. May smiled at him.

"Emma kicked," she said. Jaden knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. Alexis giggled at his expression. May sighed and reached over to take both Jaden and my hands and placed them on her stomach. Mia and Zoey reached across to place their hands on her stomach too.

-Kick-

Mia and Zoey squealed and drew back their hands giggling. Jaden and Alexis simply smiled.

"Emma?" he questioned still smiling. Alexis noticed he began to rub gentle circle in May's stomach. May nodded.

"Yeah, another girl," May said. Jaden chuckled and drew back, grabbing Alexis' hand that was on her stomach in the process. He weaved their fingers together and placed them on his lap around Zoey.

"Poor Mike," he said. When Alexis was about to ask what he meant, Sam screamed.

"BULLSEYE!" Kyle yelled. Jaden and her whipped our heads around to see Kyle, Tyler, and Skyler standing on the deck. They had bandanas tied around their foreheads and had black streaks underneath their eyes. They were wearing belts loaded with water balloons and two squirt guns. Robby and Susan were around them as well, armed with balloons and squirt guns the same as the triplets, just without the bandanas and army paint. Kara and Aurora jumped out of the house already armed, followed by Brad.

"GAH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, KYLE!" Sam shrieked. She began running toward the house.

"Uh oh," Jaden breathed.

"Let's duck for cover darling," Phil said. Sophie and him stood up and walked around the long way to get back into the house. May followed them.

"What's going on?" Alexis asked. Before Jaden could answer, Kyle yelled:

"FIRE!"
