The Mother Hen and Medic arrived with questioning looks on their faces, they looked at the squid, then looked at the guy who just punched his own brother. "Scott, Virgil" I greeted them before signalling them to come one at a time, first up; Scott. "Scott, may I give you something?"
"Uh, sure? What do you want to gi-OW"
I slapped my older brother, so what? He punched ALAN once! ALAN! The baby of the family! It was quite hard, my hand is shaking and red and Scott...where's Scott? Oh, he's on the floor, sorry!? "That's for not telling me about Gordon's new habit, okay!"
"Sure, okay, just leave one Christmas cookie"
He got up and fell back down and that's all he had to say? Save the last Christams cookie for him? We are weird. I signal Virgil to come close, I think he's scared. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hit you, I'm going strangle you"
"Oh, thank god because, you wouldn't want to mess up this fa...wait WHA-"
I grab his muscular neck...oh my god, what the hell? It's biology all over again! Its like touching a lambs heart with skin of chicken and...going off topic. I strangle him and I eventually fall out of the bed and on top of Virgil, my arm somewhat free of the needle (YESSSSSS!).
"Stwap! WHWY AAK UL LANGLING MUY?!"
"Why am I lagging juice?! What are you saying?!" I let go of the guy, bloody strong, I'll tell ya that, he gasped for air and turned to me.
"WHY WERE YOU STANGLING ME!?"
"Oh, is that what you were saying? Stop putting frickin needles in my arms!" I got up and rubbed my head, I look outside...it's night? I helped him up and sat back. I was getting comfortable when he put another frickin needle in. Alan walked in when he saw the needle going in...he fainted? He's not the one getting it in him! I turn to a familiar face which walked in...what...Lady Penelope?What was she doing here?
"I'm sorry I didn't call first boys, but I heard about John's misfortune and I had to see him, how did this happen? All Virgil told me was that John slipped and cracked his head and something about Gordon. What actually happened?"
Gordon's POV:
This is the one time when I didn't want Lady Penelope around. My brothers will put me in the spotlight and I'll look like a complete idiot and monster, who would want date someone who nearly killed their own brother? But if it means telling the truth, I guess I got to own up.
"You see Lady Penelope, what happened was..."
"Gordon saved me!" I turn to John who just blurted it out. I looked at him and he looked at me, taking the blame for me. Thanks buddy. I think he's doing so that I won't have bug him about the punching me in the stomach thing later.
"I was standing by the pool, Gordo saying that he wanted to talk to me. As I waited, a couple of bees started to annoy me, you obviously know I have an allergy towards bees. I eventually slipped on some stray water outside the pool and hit my head on the side of the marble perimeter. Luckily Gordon was nearby and when he heard the splash, he ran out to the pool, saw blood and jumped in to get me, he then called for the guys. I was knocked out for quite some time, but if it wasn't for Gordon, I would have drowned or suffered a lot a blood loss. Gordon saved me"
John's POV:
I know what you're thinking, you're brothers, let the idiot get punished, but I felt sorry for the guy. I know exactly what he's thinking, that's why I did that, I just hope my brothers will tag along with the idea.
"Yeah, if Gordon wasn't around, I would loose a brother, a carer, a friend" Alan spoke up after hitting his head and in the meantime being checked up on by Virg.
"I'm glad he was there, I lost mum and dad, I didn't want the weight of loosing a brother on my shoulders as well." Scott exclaimed as he ruffled my hair, careful not to touch my 2nd scar.
"I'm just glad he didn't die" Virgil said as he cleaned up Alan "Cause if I did, who would I annoy with needles"
We all laughed, the lady herself coming and giving us a hug each, but left Gordon for last. (?Love is in the air, everywhere I look around?) My older and younger brother after me stood by the bed and shared a look. As Alan walked over, I whispered to him to get a special something, it is Christmas after all...
Gordon's POV:
The lady herself was walking in my direction, I felt nervous, what was she going to do? My youngest brother was standing behind us holding up above me and Penny...are you kidding me? MISTLETOE?! I pretend I didn't notice and come as a shock when they tell me, or not! She stood in front of me, my brothers snickering and trying to keep their phones still, trying to take a photo. Alan, trying to hold it just above our heads, just couldn't contain his laughter. I looked at him and eventually showed him the finger just under my jacket, so the lovely angel didn't notice.
"Mi'Lady? Would you like to look up for about 5 seconds?" Asked the ever eager astronaut above us. Penny looked up and stared him with smile, open and wide then looked back at me. Was she gonna slap me or kiss me? Please be the last one!
"Gordon close your eyes, you recording, John?" A thumbs up from John and a bit of laughter from all of them. Is the moment? Is this when my dream comes true? Is this when I finally get a chance with Lady Pene- WHAT THE?!
Alan's POV:
OH MY GOD! I can't believe she just did that! She slapped Gordon!? The room was filled with laughter, poor Gordon, I know how much he wanted to kiss her. Looks like he'll never get the chance with her, no matter how many showers or clean uniforms he has to have or how cool his charm is. Sorry Gordon, I guess she's not the o...WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! That was unexpected. She just slapped my brother and now she's kissing him on the lips?! WHO DOES THAT?! That's really cute, ok, now it's gross! Yuck! BLERUGH! Im gonna hurl! Hey I'm 16! After about 10 seconds they parted before Lady Penelope left the room and into FAB1. I turned to Gordon to congratulate him and say that his wish finally came tru- where is he? Gordon had to be somewhere! He can't have just...OW! Of course, he's on my foot. I kicked him and he's awake. He smiled at us, asking John for his phone. He watched the recording and it was not was he was planning. He pushed it back to John forcefully, leaving the rest of us to watch it over and over and over again. It was so funny, he only recorded the part where Gordon was about to kiss Penny but got slapped and fell to the ground.
We checked the clock...my brothers looked at me, knowing what I was about to do. It read 12:01:45 and counting, Gordon walked back in and stared at me, excitement visible in both our faces.
"ITS CHRISTMAS! EVERYONE TO THE LOUNGE!" We both yelled out in unison.
Third Person's POV:
Today's just another christmas on Tracy Island, the boys received their Christmas wishes. Scott could hog all the hot water, John was around his family, Virgil finally could eat proper food, Alan had his video, ready to show everyone and make fun of his brother. Gordon, well he had the best Christmas ever, he finally got to kiss the girl of his dreams.
Merry Christmas + A Happy New Year!

Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon + Alan Tracy
