Chapter 14

I'm surprisingly the first one awake not even Tom is downstairs. I could wake the guys up or I could spend this time wisely and have some me time. Me time it is. Lets see what's on telly at this time in the morning... What time is it? Looking around the room I finally notice a clock which reads half seven in the morning. Wow that's a personal record I don't even get up this early for school. Ooh SMart! then Dick and Dom in da bungalow yay my favourite show.

I was halfway through Dick and Dom Dougie and Harry came in. "Ooh Dick and Dom I love this show" didn't surprise me that Dougie did. Turning back to the tv Harry and Dougie started singing the creamy muck muck song at the top of their voices. "Woah what the bells going on down here" I'm guessing they were singing loud enough to wake Tom up on the top floor. Well that or Tom really didn't care what he looked like. It's probably both. "How is Danny not awake I don't know" hmmm I have no idea. "Well this is what happens when we wake up before you" Harry always did do weird stupid things when he was the first awake. Usually he got me to help me doing these things but they were always fun. "I guess I best get Danny up then so we can start getting ready. We're support to be there at 11". I have no idea how Tom is going to wake Danny up and I don't think I wanna know by the screech that just came from Danny's room.

"C'mon I'll make you some breakfast what do you want?"

"Well Harry I will have a fry up with extra pancakes"

"Erm I meant Choc you can get your own" Dougie didn't look to pleased aww poor Dougie. "Can I have coco pops please bestest big brother" I think being on Harry's good side today will be a good idea but I don't know why. "We don't have any coco pops only cornflakes and rice crispies". Woops forgot Danny snuck them into the trolley when we went shopping. "Hey wait I saw some a minute ago" it doesn't surprise me Dougie had seen them throughout mine and Harry's conversation, he had been going through all the cupboards. Probably looking for a fry up or pancakes. "Oh maybe we do have them. Hey Tom when did we get coco pops?" I guess Tom had just walked into the kitchen. My guess was proven correct when Danny was pushed into the chair opposite me. "I don't know we haven't been getting them because they make Danny..." He trailed of turning to look at the sleeping form otherwise known as Danny probably figuring out that he had snuck them in somehow. "Anyway everyone get a move on we need to leave in an hour and a bit" seeing the boys were going to have trouble waking Danny in an hour I guess I can help. Moving closer to Danny I whispered something into his ear which made him jump up and run up stairs. "How I mean how did you do that?" The guys were looking at me stunned. "That's for me to know and you to not" with that I finished my coco pops and got up to get ready.

Finished getting ready I walked down the stairs seeing Tom and Harry in the living room. Tom looked ready he's just putting his shoes on while Harry. Well Harry was doing something to his hair what, I don't know but he looks a bit well like a shark. I'm glad to see Harry not dressed smart just in jeans and a shirt which he wears on a regular basis. This is because mum always told me if Harry is dressed smart then I have to dress smart as well. So today I was alright in my jeans, old Beatles shirt and lucky converse. "Just waiting on the divas like usual" Tom included Harry in that by nudging his thumb in his direction. "I saw that Tom and I am not a diva those two on the other hand yes" I can understand what Harry and Tom mean. There standing in front of me was Danny with his straight hair which probably took him along time to straighten based on the curliness of it this morning. Then there was Dougie who had nothing about him that looked like it would take him a long time. I'm gunna just say he was the one that was in the shower for ages as that's the only explanation.

Tom is finally pulling up to a nice house. I say finally the only reason it took longer than it should have was because I was excited to meet Carrie. I could finally speak to a girl I had been around the guys and guys in general for too long and that's weird coming form me who never acts like a girl. Katherine would love it. The guys were getting out the car and I'm suddenly feeling shy and nervous about meeting these people. Getting out the car I join the guys outside the door waiting, stood behind Harry. The door opens and Tom what I can see its a woman who has opened it who I'm guessing is Tom's mum. "Hello boys lovely to see you again and this must be Charlotte" she said to us trying to look round Harry at me. "Yeah she's usually hyper when she meets new people I don't know what's up with her" Harry explained when I didn't budge from behind him. She bent down to my level "hi I'm Debbie would you like to come have some cookies with Carrie in the kitchen" I looked down to see her holding her hand out for me which I took and she walked me through the house to a spacious kitchen. In the kitchen was Tom's dad and sister. Debbie sat me in the seat next to carrie and got me a drink of milk for the cookies just like Carrie had. "Hi I'm Carrie you must be Charlie Tom told me about you on the phone"

"Yeah I am hi" and with that me and Carrie got talking about what we like to do and stuff. I found out that we were both into disney also a interest we shared with Tom and she liked to sing and perform as well.

After sitting with Carrie for a while I noticed that the guys were no where to be seen. Debbie must have seen me look around for them as she said "they're in the garden if you want to join them?" Looking over at Carrie to see her nodding we got up and made our way outside to see the guys. Getting outside we saw the guys chasing each other around the garden and playing with fallen leaves as it was autumn. "And they're support to be our elder brothers" Carrie whispered to me seeing Tom and Harry start to wrestle on the floor over who got to the other end of the garden first. "Maybe we could get them to race with us on their backs to get a piggy back ride?" I suggested to Carrie who nodded eagerly. "Harry why don't you and Tom race with us on your backs to see who's the strongest and fastest" before I had even finished he and Tom were running towards us. "That's a good idea climb on" I got on Harry's back and Carrie did the same to Tom and they started running while we had to cling on to their T-shirt's so we didn't fall backwards which was a failed attempt for me. As when Harry turned around to go back again I saw Dougie and Danny running towards us that caused me to laugh and fall off Harry. "Hey are you alright Choc why are you laughing again" I had obviously been the first one to look up from the ground out of me and Harry and Tom and Carrie had only just turned around as I fell. I pointed to behind every one so they turned around just as Dougie and Danny reached us. "Hey what you doing?" Harry asked once he stopped chuckling. "Well we felt left out so I jumped on Danny's back and he started running towards you lot and now we are here." Dougie said in a matter of fact tone which just made me burst out laughing even more.

When I finally calmed down mr and mrs fletcher had come outside to see what all the commotion was about. When we went to go inside I jumped on Danny's back. "Hey what you doing up there?"

"Well it was your fault I fell of Harry so you can give me a piggy back ride into the house". It's the only way I can think to get him back. "But Dougie started it he was the one that jumped on my back!" Wow Danny sounded like a five year old. "Yeah but you could have shaken him off but you ran instead"

"Well you should at least get him back as well" looking at Carrie I knew she would help me when she winked at me. "Oh don't worry I'm already thinking of something". To be honest I don't know how to get back at Dougie yet but it will be when he least expects it. Ducking quickly so Danny didn't hit my head on the door frame. "Wow thanks for nearly beheading me Danny" I thought he would have at least warned me but noooooo. "Your welcome" and now I know why the guys always end up hitting him for his stupid comments. "Okay c'mon Choc down you get" ok then Harry don't care that one of your best friends near decapitated me. As I got down of Danny's back he started to loose his balance so Harry's trying to help me not fall but dips rare ally just cushioning my fall. Before I knew it everyone but Carrie was on the floor in a domino like formation.

Just as we are starting to get up Debbie came out to get us. "Oh your already coming in, I was coming to tell you that I'd done you all some sandwiches". Following Debbie into the kitchen I could see 6 plates with all with sandwiches on the ones cut into 4 triangles were for me and Carrie and the ones cut into 2 were for the boys. "Ooooh cheese and ham my favourite" I swear everything Danny sees is his favourite. "So what do you want to do after we've eaten" what Tom doesn't know is that after I've aten I plan on getting Dougie back. "I'm not really bothered Tom" looking around at everyone I think we all agreed with Harry. "Well we could watch a movie" I zoned out while Tom was listing the movies he recently got trying to come up with a plan to get Dougie. "Or there's that new pirate movie" oh maybe I can scare Dougie during the movie. "Yeah let's watch that but have the lights down so its like the cinema". As the guys went to get drinks and popcorn me and Carrie went to get some pillows and blankets so we would be comfier. "Ok so what's the plan?" Carrie asked me as we got into her room. "Well I'm pretty sure this movie has some sort off scary parts in it and when the come up we will go behind him and surprise him". Carrie looked like she was thinking before she was running across the landing towards a cupboard. "We could use this" she exclaimed its was then I looked down to see she was holding the arm of a skeleton. "Where did you get this?"

"Oh it's left over from last years Halloween". It was great and would surely scare Dougie. "It's great now we need to get down stairs and hide this before the guys can see it.

When we got downstairs we had just enough time to get ready and sit down before the guys came in hand ing us a drink each and a bowl of popcorn to share. When the guys finally sorted out who was sitting where it was me and Carrie on one sofa Tom and Harry in the other leaving Dougie and Danny on the floor infront of Carrie. As I was watching the film I nearly forgot about the plan as I was getting into watching it as I love pirates. It's only now at Carrie just nudged me I realised it would be a perfect time to scare Dougie. "3...2...1" I counted down and me and Carrie got down and put the skeleton arm on Dougie shoulder. What we didn't expect was for both Dougie and Danny to scream like little girls, and hide under the blanket that me and Carrie had dropped when we got up. Suddenly the lights got turned on and before I knew it Debbie was in front of me and Carrie. "Are you girls okay I heard you scream did the movie scare you I told Tom it might be to scary". As Debbie continued to ask us questions I couldn't help but burst out laughing as of to the side of her I can see the blanket shaking. When Debbie realised it wasn't us that screamed and didn't see Danny or Dougie walked away shaking her head muttering something about Tom and handling. "Dougie, Danny you can come out now" instead of coming fully out of the covers they popped their heads out. "Why would you do that?"

"Well it was payback for making me fall off of Harry's back earlier". I said with a shrug of my shoulders. Both Danny and Dougie looked at each other before getting up and tickling me and Carrie for getting them. While all this was happening Harry and Tom just continued to sit on the sofa watching us. "Hello big brothers are you not going to help us?" I asked

Between laughing which made them get up and come over to us only to help Dougie and Danny tickle us.

When we all eventually calmed down it was time for dinner. After we finished dinner we had to go as the guys had to meet fletch tomorrow. "Thank you for having us over and putting up with the monsters" Harry said while giving Debbie a hug. "Oh no Charlie was no trouble you shouldn't call her a monster" Debbie obviously didn't here the plural. "Oh no mum I don't think Harry was talkin about her but those two over there" Tom explained while pointing at Danny and Dougie wrestling to see who got to siting the front. "Well anyway it was lovely to meet you Charlie I hope to see you again soon" with that Debbie went back inside leaving me and Carrie to say good bye after she had finished hugging her brother. "It was nice meeting you and I'd really like to be good friends hope I see you soon" she hugged me and I got in the back of the car I between Dougie and Danny as Harry had climbed in the front while they were wrestling. As we drove away from the house we could see Carrie waving to us until we were out of sight. "Tom I really like your family they're so nice and friendly" in reply to me Tom just smiled showing me his dimple and carried on driving home where we went straight to bed.
