Sorry for being MIA. I had a bad case of writer's block and I had too much going on.


The gang was getting ready for the game while Ramon took off to take care of something. Pi walked over to Twister and said, "Well, it looks like you dorks win by default."

Twister, looking confused, said, "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"We ran into your brother, he flat out said he wasn't playing anymore so...I don't know what to do." Pi said with a shrug.

Once Pi walked off, Otto went over to Twister and said, "What was that all about?"

"Lars isn't playing. I don't know why." Twister said.

"No fair! I didn't want to win like this! Man, he is too much!" Otto groaned.

"I'm going to go find him and try to knock some sense into him." Twister added as he started to skate off.

"Twist," Reggie called, "Where are you going?"

"To find my brother." Twister replied and then turned to the referee and said, "Give me 15! I have to be somewhere!"


Lars sat on the beach just thinking until he heard a voice say, "Backing out of the game? Doesn't sound like you."

He looked up and saw Ramon standing over him.

"How did you find me here?" Lars asked coldly.

"I had a feeling you'd be here. Look, Lars, I don't know what the issue is but you have been acting rather distant ever since I came back into the picture but you need to get over that. I know you aren't thrilled I am back in the lives of your family but they seemed to have let it go." Ramon explained.

"You really think this is why I'm like this?" Lars was baffled. "I was happy when Tia Letti dumped your ass. How dare you even try to come back into my life and act like nothing happened."

"Lars...I am unsure of what you mean..." Ramon said rather nervously.

"You don't remember? You don't remember what you did to me when I was younger? Always telling Maurice why he can't go into the garage with us because he was too young? Telling me if I told anyone you would kill him? How do you not seem to remember?"

Ramon chuckled nervously and said, as he placed a hand on his nephew's shoulder, "Look, Lars..."

Lars jerked away from his uncle's touch.

"Um...okay...but look, what happened then is in the past. You need to let it go. As for telling anyone, no one is going to believe you. Your parents have told me the trouble maker you have become. Don't even think about saying anything because...well...you will ruin my life. Now come on! You have a game to participate it. Don't ruin it for your brother."

Ramon walked away leaving Lars alone.


Twister looked around for his brother. He looked around the pier, then around the theater and finally the shack. Tito noticed Twister.

"Hey, Lil Cuz." He greeted. "Don't you have a game?"

"I'm looking for my brother. Have you seen him?" Twister asked.

"I think he's behind you." Tito pointed out Lars to Twister.

Twister turned around and saw his brother walking with a dazed expression on his face.

"Lars!" Twister called. "Hey, bro! Wait up!"

Lars turned and saw his brother.

"What do you want?" Lars asked coldly.

"Pi told me you aren't playing! Why are you ruining the game for us?" Twister asked.

"Typical. Because I ruin everything for everyone since I'm a big trouble maker." Lars chortled sarcastically.

"No...I didn't mean that..." Twister said.

"Why don't you go hang out with Ramon and leave me alone!" Lars snapped.

"Why are you ripping on him so much! Tell me what is wrong!" Twister begged.

"Because I have a reason to rip on him and it's something you have no idea about...I was never allowed to say it!" Lars turned his head away.

"Wait man," Twister looked confused, "what are you talking about?"

"Let's just put it this way." Lars started. "Why do you think Ramon wanted me to go into the garage with him for two hours? Why do you think he called me into the house alone at family gatherings? Why do you think my clothes were always on inside out and backwards? Think about it!"

Twister chuckled nervously and said, "He said that I was too young too...and...he said you liked to wear your clothes like that and...oh man...oh my God...Lars...I had no idea."

At that moment, Lars had tears coming out of his eyes. He was furious of everything that happened to him when he was younger and needed to stand up to his uncle.

"Where is Ramon?" Lars asked him.

"He...he's at the game. How come?" Twister asked.

Right there, Lars marched towards the game and his brother followed.


Ramon was talking to Otto, Reggie and Sam about pointers they can use for the game.

"That's not bad. Good thing Lars' team forfeited." Otto said.

"Forget them. Lars ruined it for them. Now another thing you can do is..." Ramon was cut off by someone pushing him roughly.

The crowd gasped and Ramon turned to see his nephews, both with angry face. Raoul and Sandy noticed this as well.

"Dude, what is your problem?" Otto yelled.

Even Pi was baffled at Lars getting aggressive.

"Ramon, stay away from my friends!" Twister yelled.

"Lars, why are you making a scene?" Ramon started. "What did you tell Maurice?"

"Why am I making a scene? I have a good reason to make a scene and I think everyone should hear it." Lars replied. "Everyone, want to know what went down when I was younger? This guy use to molest me!"

The people gasped. Raoul and Sandy exchanged glances. Sam shook his head and said to Reggie, "I knew it..."

"That's why he tore up my magazine and reacted the way he did." Reggie added.

"Why are you making up stories? Come on, Lars. You know that isn't true." Ramon laughed nervously. "I don't recall anything you are talking about..."

"I'm sure if I did this you will remember..." Lars started to attack his uncle.

Ramon was trying to dodge his nephew punching and kicking him. Lars kept saying things like, 'You bastard! How can you do that to me! I was just a kid!' Pi ran over and grabbed Lars, saying, "Dude! Stop! You don't need to do this!"

Pi pulled Lars off of his uncle only for Lars to yell, "I have nothing else I can do! He deserves it!"

Raoul and Sandy walked over to Lars. Sandy took her son into her arms and stroaked the back of his head. Ramon tried to reason with Raoul by saying, "Raoul, don't believe him...trouble making Lars as usual..."

Feeling anger building up, Raoul shook his head and said to Ramon in a threatening voice, "No. You get out of our lives now and stay far away from this family."

"Raoul, come on..." Ramon started.

"Get out of my sight, Ramon. Now." Raoul simply said.

Feeling all eyes on him, Ramon walked away. Raoul and Sandy took their sons and left the hockey match. Once the family got into their car, Lars stared out the window with his fists clenching while Twister eyed him.

"Dude...what happened wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself...we will get through this..." Twister told him.

Lars replied by hugging his brother as tears started to steam down his face. Twister had barely seen his brother cry. He didn't like this side of his brother at all. And because of that, he started to cry too.
