More thunder and lightening bringing the sky to life, more screams from downstairs, more twitches of my eye as my already thin patience prepared to snap.

Sitting on my bed, I tried to calm myself down, letting the thunder bring back pleasant memories from my childhood. I had always loved thunder, it has the power to stir something deep within your soul, to move the essence of your being, igniting a fire deep within. One of the clearest memories I have was of me as a child, sitting on my mother's lap as we stared out across the ocean, watching the lightening illuminate the dark water. That's the last memory I have of my mother.

I pushed that memory away, I didn't want to think about it now, and it seemed I wasn't going to anyway. Another scream broke through my concentration, it sounded as though someone was dying down there.

I let out my own scream of frustration, lying down on the bed and pulling a pillow over my head.

I was over all of this. Over all the damage they were causing to our house. Over the never ending noise they created. Over trying to save their butts. I was over all of this. But I knew I couldn't back down now, I knew I couldn't escape; I was in too deep.

So I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. Trying to repair the ice which had cracks running all through it. It worked to an extent, the thunder storm also helping to calm my nerves.

Suddenly the screaming from downstairs stopped, only to be replaced by foot steps sounding up the stairs. Suddenly my door was flung open. I didn't look up to see who it was, but whoever they were jumped on my bed and latched their arms around me; so much for personal space.

"Crissy, there's a big bad thunder storm outside and Tobi's really scared!" came Tobi's muffled cry of fear.

I sighed wishing Tobi would leave me alone, but it seemed that wasn't about to happen, "listen Tobi, everything's ok, the thunderstorm can't get you, your safe." Yet my words of comfort seemed to go unheard and unheeded.

"But what if it tears down the roof and comes and gets Tobi?" he whimpered, burying his face into a pillow.

"Thunderstorms don't do that, their not that smart."

"Yes they are! Tobi has seen one before, it was really scary."

I resisted the urge to push on the floor and patted his shoulder, trying to finally calm him down. It seemed to work really well too, until an abnormally loud thunder clap shook the house.

It was back to square one.

Needless to say it was a very long day.

By the time evening rolled around the sky was clear and the stars were shining bright. I breathed in the night air, recognising the scent of damp earth. The smooth material under my body bounced slightly as I shifted my weight.

I heard the back door open and close, marking the presence of another person, apart of me was hoping against hope that it wasn't anyone loud and annoying (aka. Tobi), I'd had enough of him for one day.

"Crissy! Where are you?" oh boy, why was this happening.

"Tobi's bored, no one wants to play duck duck goose with him, can you please play with me Crissy. I'll bake you a cooki- wait what's that you're lying on?"

I sighed in defeat, he'd found me. "It's nothing, go ask Zetsu."

"But he said he didn't like Tobi enough to play duck duck goose. Please Crissy, please please please, I will be your bestest friend forever, Tobi promises."

I tried as hard as I could, but the urge to yell at him was becoming too overwhelming. I sat up, making the material bounce up and down. "Look Tobi, I really don't to play right now so please go inside." I said through gritted teeth.

But my words seemed to have been lost on him. He was staring blankly at me.

"What?"

He pointed at what I was sitting on, "Crissy what is that?" his voice held amazement and astonishment.

"It's a trampoline, why?" and then it hit me. Tobi + trampoline = big disaster.

Oh crap.

I had but a second to scramble off the trampoline before Tobi was jumping up and down, shouting in delight.

I walked back to the house leaving Tobi to his newfound happiness.

"Where's Tobi, I thought he went to badger you about playing one of his stupid little games, hm" Deidara asked as I closed the door behind me.

"Don't ask," I said moving towards the stairs.

When all I got was a blank look I said, "let's just say he won't be annoying anyone for a while." That brought a smile to Deidara's face.

The next morning dawned bright and unusually early. As I lay in bed I wondered why I woke up so early, and then I heard it. First came the scream, full of terror and anger. Next came the laughter, full of malice and amusement. This mixture spelt disaster.

Walking hesitantly down the stairs the scene that met my eyes was one that didn't sit well with early morning rises.

Deidara was leaning against the windowsill, laughter lighting up his face. The source of his amusement was coming from outside and I only dreaded at what it could be.

Walking over to the window I glanced out and saw what was the cause of Deidara's amusement. Tobi was hanging from the trampoline, one leg caught between the metal railing and the mat, unable to free himself and all the while screaming for help.

"What on earth," konan came up behind us, seeing Tobi in his current situation.

"I don't want to know," I said, turning away from the window and heading for the kitchen.

"Shouldn't we-" konan began.

"Nah leave him there for while, it'll do him some good, hm"

"No Deidara, he needs our help, stop being such a jackass." Konan scowled at him, and then walked out side to help Tobi.

"Anyway how long has he been out there!" I shouted from the kitchen.

"That depends, hm" Deidara mumbled, trying to sneak up the stairs.

I turned around to face him and growled, "How long?"

"Maybe, um if you really want to know, all morning, hm." He said in a hesitant voice.

All morning? He had left Tobi out there all morning. "Deidara!"

But before I could even think about lecturing him he was racing up the stairs, probably going to the safety of his bedroom.

Mumbling curse words I went about getting myself breakfast. Konan and Tobi walked through the door, Tobi looking a bit worse for wear.

"But it was really fun and Tobi couldn't stop and then the next thing Tobi knew it was morning."

"That's not the point; you stayed up all night on the trampoline, all night!" Konan growled at him.

"But it was really fun, konan. And then Tobi was thinking about how beautiful the sunrise was and then someone yelled really loud from the house and Tobi was so scared that he got his foot stuck and fell over. It was really scary, but Deidara just laughed, it made Tobi feel so sad." By the end he was talking in a miserable voice.

"That doesn't dismiss the fact that you've been on the trampoline all night, now get to bed!" Konan yelled at him, pointing towards the stairs.

Tobi slumped his shoulders and walked up the stairs dragging his feet.

"Well that solves that problem," Konan said with an air of satisfaction.

I laughed slightly, "One of many though."

I went back to want I was doing, "What are you making" Konan asked in interest.

I turn my head to see her watching me, "It's called a coffee do you want to try some, careful it's hot."

"Ugh! that's vile how can you drink that," she spat out the coffee and tried to scrape the taste off her tongue.

I tried to hold in the laughter but it came out, Konan gave me a death stair but it made me laugh even more.

"I bet Deidara would love to try this" Konan said with an evil look on her face, then she yell out "Deidara get you ass down here now"

Konan was standing at the bottom of the stairs with the coffee waiting for Deidara, Zetsu walked over to see what all the noise was about. Deidara walked to the bottom of the stairs, "what is it" he said in hesitance

"You have to try this drink Crissy made it, it's delicious."

"Ok you better not be lyin-" a groaning noise came from up stairs it was Tobi, he was sleep walking and was headed straight for the stairs.

I tried to yell out to wake him up but too late he had stepped over the top step and began his decent down the steps. Bang! Crack! Thud! Deidara didn't notice until the last second, but it was too late, Tobi crashed straight into Deidara.

Who was holding the hot cup of coffee.

Right infront of Zetsu.

"ARRRGGGHHHHHH!" "It burns!" Zetsu's scream echoed through out the house, waking everyone up within a 100 mile radius.

"Deidara I'm going to kill you!" "Tobi you're going down next!"

Oh shit.

Suddenly my peaceful and calm home turned into madhouse. Zetsu was running around chasing after Deidara who was chasing after Tobi who had woken up with a high pitched scream which almost matched Zetsu's.

"What the hell is going on down here! All I wanted was to sleep in and enjoy my morning, but no, that was too much to ask for!" Emily had appeared at the top of the stairs still in her , and by the look on her face, she was not happy. "All of you shut the hell up! Or so help me I'll come down there and kill you myself!" her scream was drowned out in the uproar that the others were making, turning the scene into something of a riot.

There was one way to fix this, and I knew just what to do.

Walking out side I quickly assembled my equipment, making sure to get lots of ice form the freezer.

"Zetsu come here!" I yelled from out side the front door. After a couple of seconds he came out side, his face screwed up in obvious pain.

"Just make it stop!" his voice was agonised and full of pain.

"I will, just stay still." And with that I picked up the large icy bucket of water and poured it over him.

He stood there in shock for a moment, wondering what had hit him.

"Better?" I asked, hoping it would relieve his pain.

"It's cold, really cold." "It's f-freezing." He said and started to shiver.

At least that solved one problem. "Put some dry clothes on, and if it's still burning have a really cold shower."

I left him with that advice and walked back inside, to my surprise the house hadn't turned into a disaster zone.

And to my even more surprise neither were dead, they were both sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Why-" I began but then I saw Emily, who was standing over them with death in her eyes. Oh.

Happy that the two menaces were being quiet I went about the task of finally being able to get my breakfast.

"Hey Emily, is that a beach?" Tobi asked from the couch. He was pointing towards the TV, which had a picture of a tropical beach.

"Year, we have one about five minutes away from here." Her voice was still aggravated, still not having forgiven them.

"Can we go to the beach, please," Tobi wined, I would have bet anything there was puppy dog eyes under that mask.

"Hey it might relieve some stress," Konan put in.

"Or it might make it worse," Itachi put in as he came down the stairs.

"Actually, I've been wanting to go for a swim for a while, I think it will do us all some good," Emily said, making up her mind.

Itachi shrugged, something told me he knew of an impending doom that would occur at the beach. I guess we might as well see what it was.

"Looks like we're going to the beach." I said, to the cheer and both Emily and Tobi.

I just hoped that their cheers would be longed lived, but then again with my luck, probably not.
