'The Decent Four' quickly made themselves at home in the boys knew cushy and fluffy room, any longing for their old battered head base quickly gone. Though each of them knew they'd never forget where they'd come from no matter how hard they tried, that didn't mean they weren't open to the idea of some comfort.

Uriah wasted no time in miraculously finding a kid sized wade pool and filling it with icy cold water in the center of the room. Carmine spent most of his time just reveling in the smell of freshness that his newly made bed.

The girl didn't take long to make the room their own either, even if they'd not be allowed to sleep in it. Helena gleefully bounced on Uriah new bed, almost acting like a young child who'd just been given a new toy to play with. Esmer wordlessly took a spot on an open windowsill to read some verses from her tattered bible from somewhere underneath her shirt, and occasionally looked out at the moonlight illuminated campus.

"Did everyone see what I saw?"

"See what?" Uriah asked his new roommate sarcastically. "Helena completely soak Carlos in the mouth and the rest of us almost get killed. No I don't think so, I must have missed it some how."

"Jackass fish boy." Esmer grumbled as she went over to the now darkly downcast Helena. The boys quickly, without any question, following her lead to comfort their pirate friend. "You okay Babe."

The four had a distinct dynamic since they'd first become friends (or as they liked to call it Family).

Helena was the (slightly) obnoxious fearless leader who'd do anything and everything if it meant protecting her friends. She hated to see anyone of them upset, and more often than not took responsibility for them. She'd proven ten times over how much she cared, taking on anyone who ever dared messing with them.

In their small family she was the Older tough Sister.

Uriah was the quiet and caring one who could easily lighten anyone's mood. Sometimes he'd take jokes a little too far, but no matter what his intentions were good. He wasn't against pay back if someone dared hurt his (adopted) family. People on the Isle had learned not to invoke his wrath in fear of waking up bold and covered in blue un washable paint.

He was the younger sweet brother.

Carmine was very protective and possessive of his close friends. He didn't like or trust any outsiders coming into their group. To him the four of them were more than enough, and no one else was needed. He refused to trust anyone with people that were so important to him.

He was the very protective oldest brother.

Esmer was...well no one crossed her twice. Not many details were known.

She was the quiet baby (and you should never underestimate the quiet ones).

They weren't friends anymore in the traditional sense, they were a close family unit.

" I can't believe I did that to us."

"Lesson Babe. If you didn't do what you needed to, then all your hate would have grown into cancer in a really weird place like you foot or ear. People can't hide how they truly feel, god makes sure of that by giving us overpowering emotions like love and hate." Esmer explained softly. "It's a thin line between the two, don't worry though you still love him. He's still that sweet innocent puppy dog who used to follow you around, I can see it in his eyes"

"'Sides they had it coming to them." Uriah supported.

"To be honest I was going to punch him if you didn't."

"See." Esmer smiled lightly. "We're all on the same page, we've always been and by the grace of god always will be.

"So.." Carmine grinned halfheartedly. "What was it like to punch the mutt in the face."

"It felt kind of nice."

I think I'll leave you all to guess what happened between the two groups. I'll give you some info, it was an Isle Kid Brawl and Mal accidentally turned someone into a toad. The whole story will be explain latter! Hope you all injoy.
