So here's Chapter 6! Remember to review!
Later that day, Helen and Frank took us out to sea on a boat. I thought it was fun, but others, like Dylan and Lau hated it. I was used to sea because my dad used to be in the coast guard, not that I would tell anybody that. Anyways, back to the boat.
"So, everyone, what do you think of the my-way?" Frank asked from the steering wheel.
"Who's gonna sail this thing?" Jimi asked. Helen laughed and I snickered.
"We, the Beardsley family sail, while you guys, I'm guessing, hang out in the cabin and pick your noses." Michael said. He may be cute, but he better get that attitude in check, I thought to myself. Phoebe groaned.
"No, we are all going to sail it. Working together like the many tentacles of an octopus guided by one brain." Frank said, using his hands to talk.
"My children have separate brains, Frank." Helen said. I had to smile at that. How true it was.
"It's just a figure of speech." Frank answered.
"No it isn't." Helen replied back, putting sunscreen on Bina. I zoned out for a second and started talking to Mick when we heard Frank yell again, "Ok, prepare for turning. Cover the mouth."
"What?" Jimi yelled. The ship turned suddenly and I was thrown into Michael.
"Sorry!" I told him and quickly got off of him, blushing slightly. Out of the corner if my eye, I saw Joni give me a look, but I ignored it.
"It's ok." Michael replied back, his face turning slightly pink. Before I could say more, he had already turned back to his job, so I went back to watching the others. I turned when I heard Helen scream, and had to stifle my laughter. Helen's face was covered in white sun block.
"Wasn't anybody listening when I gave my briefing about standard nautical procedures?" Frank asked. Well obviously not.
"I have sunscreen in my eye, sweetie." Helen told him.
"Oh, well, let go to the lower level and we'll wash it out. William, take the wheel." Frank said, helping Helen down.
"Aye, Aye, sir." William said, walking to the wheel.
"Ms. Munion, you have the kids." Frank told her. I didn't like her. She was too grumpy.
"No problem." she said. I then looked over and saw Lau breathing into a paper bag. Oh god. I then walked over to Kelly and Naoko.
"Get that camera away from me." Kelly said turning away.
"But I'm capturing the verity of life at sea." Naoko said back, still videotaping.
"How about capturing my fist in your face." Harry said. That's when I had to step in.
"Yeah right. You won't do a thing." I said to him, coming to stand next to Naoko. He just glared at me, so I smirked victoriously. Naoko then pushed him out of the way and continued walking.
"Hey." he said, almost losing his balance. Just then a lot of water splashed and hit Ely and Otter.
"Look, Otter peed his pants." Marisa yelled. Most of the North kids snickered, including me.
"No I didn't, that's just water." Otter yelled back.
"Doesn't smell like water." Bina replied. Again we snickered.
"I'm gonna go tell our dad." Otter yelled back, angrily.
"I'm gonna tell my mom." The twins said in unison. I quickly caught them before they told.
"Your mom doesn't feel good. Don't bother her." I told them, and sent them on their way. I turned and saw Michael looking at me with a small smile.
"What?" I asked him confusedly.
"Nothing." he said quickly, turning around. So I shrugged and continued to watch.
"I don't feel so good." Lau said, looking like he was going to be sick. Okay, I may hate the guy but I kinda felt bad for him.
"Just keep your eye on the horizon. I'll get you some ginger ale." Ms. Munion told him, getting up. I started to talk to Dylan when we saw Cristina look down at us with rope in her hand, because Dylan was lying down and I was sitting next to him. Christina then threw the rope all over Dylan.
"What are you doing? Come on watch it." we both said annoyingly. Christina ignored us and threw the rest of the rope on Dylan's feet. On no, I knew what that meant.
"Don't even think about it." I told her threateningly. She gave me a shocked look for a second before smirking and shaking her head. I heard William yell something from the font of the ship and then Christina and Harry started pulling on the rope. Next thing we knew, Dylan was being pulled into the air by his feet.
"Whoa!" Dylan yelled in surprise. He started swinging up. By then all the Beardsley's were laughing. I quickly walked over and twisted the lever so that Dylan was let down. What I didn't know was that he would fall on his head.
"Ouch!" he yelled angrily at me.
"I could have left you hanging up there. Would you like that?" I asked sarcastically. He just glared at me before turning to Christina.
"Such a loser." Michael said, laughing at him. I quickly contained the small smile that was forming and turned to glare at him and his siblings.
"Oh yeah? Let see how funny you think this is." Dylan said, taking the rope off of his foot and running after Michael. I heard Lau puke and quickly turned to see Michael slip in it.
"Ew!" "Gross!" "That's disgusting!" Were all heard from everyone.
"What's going on?" Frank asked, finally coming up from the lower deck.
"Coming the bowel." William yelled. Frank turned just in time to get hit in the face with the bowel and fall over board.
"William! Turn around! William!" Frank yelled. William looked panicked for a moment before quickly turning the ship around.
"What's going on? Ah!" Helen yelled after seeing Frank overboard.
"I'm fine, sweetie." Frank yelled back.
"Is this the standard nautical procedure." Helen yelled to him. Frank sighed, "Uh, no." he replied back. Helen laughed. We went to go get him and Frank decided that our day at sea was over.
