Summer Special:

"Amazon, get your ass down here! They're here and we need you to show them where to put it!" Frankie shouted up the stairs as I changed my shirt. The one lying on the floor was covered in flour from the cupcakes I made earlier. I walked down the stairs, pulling my shirt past my stomach, and glanced up to meet the gazes of two men.

"So your here to install the pool?" I asked, smiling at them while I landed on the last step. I glanced past them and towards the kitchen door as I heard the 'ding' from the oven timer.

"Dammit!" Lash shouted as something tin hit the ground. I looked towards Frankie and rolled my eyes.

"I need to handle that," I pointed towards the direction of the kitchen. "Do you think you can handle this?" I asked her, retying my pony tail. She nodded and grinned.

"Go make sure that your man didn't burn off his hand." We both let out a laugh as I tapped my way into the kitchen, barefoot. I sighed when I saw the sight in the kitchen. Lash had attempted to pick up the tray without an oven-mitt on and dropped it onto the stove top. Speed was running around the kitchen trying to get ice for his hand. Speed stood beside Lash with a bag of ice in his hand trying to make him use it. Lash walked over to the sink and turned it on cold, running it over his hand. Speed quickly followed and held open the bag.

"Stick your hand into the bag!" Speed demanded pushing the bag closer to him.

"No! I can handle this myself!" Lash shouted back, wincing as the cold water hit the red spot on his hand.

"Lash, quit being stubborn already! Put cold water into the bag with the ice and stick your damn hand into it already. I'm not making a run to the hospital today." I said, walking closer and taking the bag from Speed. I put water into the bag and held it in front of Lash. He put his hand into the bag and flinched from the coldness. "Apologize," I said sternly, looking him in the eye.

"Fine, Speed- I'm sorry, you're a good friend... yaddah, yaddah. Thanks for your help." I smacked Lash's good arm and shook my head, smiling a little. I looked over to the cupcakes and noticed that Lash had one pried open. I walked closer but Speed moved in front of me, shaking his head 'no.'

"Don't step any closer. We're not done in here, yet. Now take your cute little butt and help Franks with the pool-installer-dude-things." I gave him a questioning look but walked away anyway.

'I hear wedding bells! Duh-duh, duh duh!' Amelia teased, having the sound of bells play in the background.

"You don't know that for sure."

'Hun, he had a cupcake pried open. He didn't take the time to find an oven-mitt. He was rushing to put a ring into the cupcake and give it to you!'

"It does piece together but I still have my doubts." Amelia coughed and I looked up to see Frankie smiling at the guys, who were endlessly flirting with her. She gave me a look, explaining that she wanted to get them away from her. I walked outside and made my way over to her.

"So where did you want the pool, exactly?" Frankie asked me, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the men and then back to me.

"Oh, um, right there." I pointed across the yard to the far left, as they eyed the scorch marks in the grass. Looks like Bobby had been practicing out in the yard again. "We had a, uh... luau the other night and one of the posts fell and caught fire to the grass." They nodded in understanding and I sighed out of relief. I looked up to Bobby's window and noticed a blue light. Shit, she was practicing in her room! A fireball flew out of her open window, about to land on the ground. I raised my hand and the fireball held it's place in the air. The guys looked at me and I bent my arm, pretending to be itching my back. Bobby looked out of her window and down at me, mouthing 'sorry.' I directed the fireball back up to her window and she took it in her hand, extinguishing it as she caught it. She closed her window and left the room. Bobby walked out of the door to the backyard and hugged me.

"I'll start practicing in the training room," she whispered and I nodded. One of the guys glanced at Bobby and then nudged the other, both of them smirking at her.

"Hey douche bags, hurry up and finish the pool! She's thirteen and I will press charges for sexual harassment." They went back to work in a flash and I took Bobby back into the mansion.

"Where did you get the money for the in-ground pool anyway?" Lash asked as he wrapped a towel around his hand.

"Grams; just because I gave up my money doesn't mean she had to give up hers," I smirked and winked at Lash. "She likes to give me things."

"Which is always good for us," Frankie added as she came in behind me. "But anyway, when do we get cupcakes?" Frankie's eyes lit up like a little kid's.

"I don't know." I narrowed my eyes at Lash. "Are you done prying them open?" Lash's cheeks went red with embarrassment.

"They're done," he replied, not looking me directly in the eye, which made me cock my eyebrow.

"O-kay," Frankie ran towards the kitchen, pushing Speed out of her way as he exited through the door. "Strawberry!" She squealed in excitement. Her face popped out from behind the door, grinning at me like mad. "STRAWBERRY!" She screamed, icing already covering her lips. I giggled and shook my head.

"Your sister is off her rocker," Speed told Ralph as he licked the icing off of his cupcake. Ralph looked up from his book and nodded.

"Yeah, we've establish that before. Thanks to therapy." Ralph looked back into the book and flipped a page.

"Frankie," I spoke up, hoping that she would hear me through her frenzy. I heard a faint 'hmm' and continued, "why don't you take the cupcakes and come on up to my room?"

"Okay," it was muffled but then I heard the sounds of plates clanking and spoons hitting plates. She walked out of the kitchen with a dozen cupcakes on her plate, she had piled the icing on top of them.

"Want some cupcake with your icing?" I put my finger across one of the cupcakes and licked the icing off. "This is good, did you guys make it or use a container?" I directed towards Speed and Lash.

"We mixed them," Speed answered.

"It was Speed's idea," Lash added before rolling his eyes.

"I bet it was, now come on Frankie. I need to talk to you about some things." She nodded, handing me a cupcake and licking the icing off of her face. I grinned and bit into the cupcake, leading Frankie to my room.

I know it's short; but like it says at the top, it's a summer special, I would've made it longer- but it leads to the next (and final) chapter.

Review Thanks to:

Evilpixie417- it's mushed up ice that's flavored. I'm in love with it! They have it on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. But they also have Polish Ice, which I prefer to the Italian. It's soft, like ice cream, and sweet- but there's no fat in it. Lol. But if your like me, and go nuts while eating it, it will still cause brain freeze. Haha.,

RandomRiter,
