That night, all of the kids met up in the lighthouse chamber where the light was. I quickly ran up the stairs just as William was about to start talking. I quickly knocked on the door above me, waiting to be let in. Kelly opened it and helped me up.
"Helen and Frank just went to bed." I told William, talking about my job to watch the parents. He just nodded and I went and sat between Mick and Phoebe, Aldo sitting on my lap.
"Okay everybody. It's time that we call a truce." William told us.
"No way." I quickly replied. Mick and Aldo were already laughing at the idea.
"Yeah right. We wouldn't last a day." Phoebe whispered to me quietly. I snickered and William looked over here, annoyed that we weren't hearing him out.
"We need to unite against a greater enemy. And that enemy's name is Mom and Dad." William yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Kelly asked confusedly.
"He's saying we're all totally incompatible. But our parents don't seem to care." Dylan said.
"Exactly. Guys, we're all in this together." William replied nodding.
"Some of us are in it together, and some of us are busy cornering the boyfriend market." Christina quipped, looking at Phoebe.
"You stole my shirt. Now we're even." Phoebe answered. I snickered quietly and Christina shot me a look.
"I'll deal with you later." Christina threatened, looking at me. I rolled my eyes before lifting my hands and making a ghost sound, making Aldo giggle.
"Come on guys. None of us likes this situation, but if we want out, then we gotta stop fighting and get them to start." William said, obviously frustrated.
"What?" Muck asked. I gave him a look and he just shrugged.
"How do you plan to do that?" Jimi asked.
"Easy. Who knows what drives our parents crazy better than we do. We start tomorrow, so be ready. Makayla, Mick you guys are first. You both probably theist devious out of all of us. Come up with some stuff." William told us. Me and Mick looked at each other and smirked, knowing of anyone could come up with ways to annoy the parents, it was us.
The next morning, I woke up a half hour earlier. I went into the bathroom and got ready. Once I was dressed and my hair was straightened and I was all ready, I went to go wake up Mick. I went into Mick, Lau, Harry, Jimi, and Michael's room to find Michael already awake. I blushed and quickly turned away, seeing as he was shirtless. Once he was me he quickly put on his shirt, blushing slightly.
"Um... What are you doing in here?" Michael asked me.
"I have to get Mick up for our first 'mission' as he likes to call it." I quickly told him, not looking at him.
"Oh, okay well I'll just get out of your way then." Michael replied back, moving past me and leaving the room. I let out a gust of breath I didn't know I was holding to see Harry sitting up and looking at me with a smug look on his face.
"Oh shut it." I told him, blushing again. I then turned and walked up to Mick's bed. Once I saw it, I walked up, took the mattress, and quickly flipped it, sending Mick tumbling to the floor.
"Ow! Really Makayla, really?" Mick asked as I fell onto his bed, laughing.
"How else would I get you up?" I asked, still laughing slightly. "Now get the pig and let's go." I told him before getting up and leaving. Ten minutes later, Mick walked out all ready for the day, with Fiona at his side.
"Come on, let's go." He said, walking to the parent's room. We then let Fiona in once we saw that Helen was gone. We then watched as Frank turned over and Fiona started licking his face. He opened his eyes and looked shocked for a second before turning over.
"Helen!" Frank screamed. We quickly ran before we could get caught. Most of the other plans didn't include me, including the toothpaste plan, the radio plan, the gun plan, and the meat plan. But, I was in one where we decided to dress Ethan and Aldo up as girls and sent them into the kitchen, right past Frank. I helped dress them up before we brought them over to the hallway that turns into the kitchen. We sent them in and listened to them talk.
"Well, shall we get some tea?" Aldo asked in a fake British accent.
"Oh, that would be lovely." Ethan replied, using the same accent.
"I love tea in the afternoon." Aldo said back.
"I love tea, but we have to boil it." Ethan answered in a know-it-all voice. Frank looked shocked.
"Helen!" Frank screamed. We quickly walked off so as not to get caught. The plan I was really worried about was the chalk plan. Aldo and Ethan were going to go on and write on the chalkboard.
"What if he brings his hammer?" Aldo asked, taking a piece of chalk.
"There is no hammer." Christina told him, patting him on the back.
"I don't know about this, guys." I said uneasily.
"Yeah I think we're kind of crossing the line. I don't feel right about endangering the little kids." Christina said, agreeing with me.
"Trust me. Their biologically contempted by the cuteness factor. This is gonna be good" William answered. So we sent them in and they colored their hearts out. Until Frank came home.
"Stop!" Frank yelled, holding up his hand.
"Isn't it pretty?" Aldo asked, oblivious to how mad Frank was.
"That was very naughty." Frank said, pointing at the boys.
"Oh, what's happening? Oh, boys, I don't think that was a good idea do you?" Helen asked. Me and Kelly both walked out from behind the wall to see what would happen.
"No." The boys said, looking down.
"Boys, that was very important to your father. You need to say you're sorry." Helen told them.
"Sorry." Both of them said, looking at Frank.
"Okay, now go on and play." Helen said, ushering them out.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's it? Go on and play?" Frank asked.
"Well, they're 4 years old, Frank. What else is there?" Helen asked, imitating the hammer.
"There are other ways." Frank said, putting his hands on his hips.
"A spanky?" Kelly asked. I looked at her, shocked. He spanks his children.
"No, no honey of course not. We don't spank our children." Helen said.
"The admiral does." Otter said, peeking up from behind the couch. The Beardsley kids nodded their heads in agreement. Helen looked shocked to say the least.
"Occasionally. A little pat on the butt sends a clear message." Frank said sternly. Aldo quickly ran over to me, Ethan following. I quickly grabbed then and put them behind me, though I doubt it would take much to move my little 100 pound 13 year old self.
"Well you're not spanking my children." Helen said calmly.
"I thought they were our children." Frank replied back.
"You're not spanking our children." Helen said mockingly.
"Okay. Fine. Let's just let them all run naked and wild." Frank said angrily.
"Yay!" Ethan and Aldo yelled, running out of the room. Frank looked at Helen before walking out.
"Thanks Helen." I said walking up to her with Kelly and Joni following, the rest of the kids staying and watching. "I would rather not be spanked if you catch my drift." I told her winking. She laughed.
"Nice, Makayla. Nice." Helen said before walking out. I then turned to Kelly and Joni.
"That went well." I told them. They both nodded before all three of us went up to our room
