I woke up the next morning and yawned. I layed in bed a couple more minutes before getting the guts to get up from my warm, comfy bed. I dragged myself to my closet pulling out some sweats and a t-shirt. I grabbed my sweatshirt in case I got cold.

Now I know that it's only September, but it was starting to get chilly. And it's only going to get colder. But I prefer the cold from the heat. Because if your cold you just pile clothes on you until you're warm. But if you're hot, there's only so much clothes you can take off.

I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs where everyone seemed to be having breakfast.

"Glad you can join us," Dad said.

I shrugged and yawned, "I like to sleep in."

I sat down beside Suzie and Lilly. Grabbing a plate, I placed some scrambled eggs and a sausage.

"Dad can I borrow the car today?" I asked.

Dad sighed and started to think, "From what times?"

"About three to seven or eight. Around there," I said.

"Uhhh...yes you can," dad said.

"Where are you going?" Lilly asked.

The guys looked up from their plates to me.

"Me and Mark were heading to the arcade," I replied.

Shawn smirked, Blake shook his head, and Cole chuckled. I rolled my eyes at their reactions.

"Tori can I go!? Please?" Suzie said giving me her puppy dog eyes.

I smiled, "I'll call Mark and see if he can bring Conlan."

Suzie eye's widened in excitement, "Yes! I love Conlan! He's awesome."

Suzie looked down at her food with a smile. I glanced over at the guy's and they smiled looking at Suzie.

"Sounds like you have a cr-" Blake started.

I threw I sausage at him and signaled him to shut up. He rolled his eyes at me.

"What?" Suzie asked totally out of it.

"Nothing," Blake muttered.

Dad chuckled and Lilly smiled.

"Can you call now?" Suzie asked.

"Can I finish my eggs?" I asked back.

"No," she said stubbornly.

I sighed pulling out my phone and handing it to her. She walked to the living room and sat at the couch, we all watched her as she dialed and put the phone up to her ear.

"Hey Mark," she said happily, "It's Suzie."

There was talking on the other line. And then Suzie spoke up.

"So Mark I was wondering if I could go to the arcade too. Maybe Conlan will want to come?" She asked.

We heard a chuckle from the other line. Then a yell and Suzie pulled the phone away from her ear.

She laughed, "Yeah I heard him. Can I talk with him?"

Suzie got up and left the living room heading up the stairs.

"Hey Conlan," she said as we heard her close her bedroom door.

"Wait Suzie what'd he say?" I called after her, "Can I have my phone back?!"

No answer.

"Aw forget it," I muttered eating my sausage.

"So who's Conlan?" Cole asked.

"Mark's little brother," dad answered for me, "He's twelve. And a really good kid."

"Wait twelve?" Shawn asked.

"How old is Suzie again?" Blake asked.

"Nine," I answered, "Well she's turning ten in May."

"And she has a crush on a twelve year old?" Cole asked.

Lilly chuckled, "Look at you boys. Being overprotective with your stepsister."

In a blink of an eye they all seemed to lose interest, but it flicked back in their expressions.

"Well I mean she's nine," Shawn said.

"He's twelve," Cole added.

"That's a three year difference," Blake said.

I laughed, "Do all the math yourself?"

The guys were actually being protective with Suzie. Especially Cole, he seemed uncomfortable. I have never seen this side of the guys.

Dad chuckled, "Conlan is a good kid. He's known Suzie since she was a baby."

"Yeah but I mean-" Cole started but Shawn quickly elbowed him in the ribs as Suzie walked down.

Suzie skipped over and handed me my phone.

"Here ya go," She said happily.

I took my phone, "So what'd they say?"

"Mark said he'll bring Conlan, Conlan said he can't wait." She replied slowly walking back to the stairs.

"What did you and Conlan talk about?" I called after her, suddenly curious.

"Stuff," she sad walking up the stiars.

Stuff? What stuff? What does stuff mean? Stuff could mean anything.

"Stuff?" I asked now having to yell.

"Stuff," she yelled back closing the door.

Dad laughed, "Stuff."

I shrugged, "Stuff."

"Ok what the heck does 'stuff' stand for?" Cole asked.

Lilly chuckled, "Girl talk for 'I'm not telling you no matter what.'"

Lilly was right. Suzie didn't want to tell us. That was fine by me, I just couldn't wait to go. Usually if me and Mark brought Suzie and Conlan, we'd just give them a bunch of coins and tell them to meet us somewhere at some time. So either way we were going to be fine. I'd probably let Suzie borrow my phone in case she wants to get in contact with me and Mark. Or me and Mark want to check on her and Conlan.

I stood up and grabbed my plate putting it in the sink.

"Mind if I use the gym for a couple hours?" I asked the guys.

"Go ahead," Shawn said.

"Sure," Blake said.

"Mind If I use it too?" Cole asked.

I shook my head telling him he can and then headed down to the basement.

Cole came down a couple minutes later. He sat down at the bench press while I used the punching bag.

"You know what I just realized," I asked.

"What?" He managed to say.

"I never taught you go the flip someone," I smirked.

Cole chuckled, "Oh yeah. Last time you were about to but you couldn't."

"Well," I said punching the bag, "Wanna learn now?"

"Hell yeah," he said getting up and getting the mats.

I laughed and helped him place the mats in the middle of the room. When we were done I positioned myself in the middle of the mats.

"Ok walk towards me," I told Cole.

He gave me a weird look then slowly walked towards me. When he was in reach I grabbed his arm and turned my back to him.

"That's how you start out," I said letting go of his arm and facing him, "You grab the arm, put it on your shoulder and turn your back on the person. Got it?"

"Yeah I think so," he said.

"Now do it to me," I walked to the edge of the mat and then towards Cole. When I reached him he grabbed my arm, put it on his shoulder, and turned his back on me.

"Good," I said.

We went on, me showing him how to do the movements slowly and carefully. After about an hour of explaining everything, and the right way to do it so no bones would be broken. I figured he was ready.

"Ready to try and flip someone?" I asked.

"Yup," he replied.

"Ok so say that-" I was cut off as we heard people coming downstairs.

"Hey guys what ya up to?" Shawn asked.

"Working out Shawn what do you think?" Blake answered for him.

"Well I can see that," Shawn replied.

"So what are you doing?" Blake asked.

"Come here I'll show you," Cole said. He looked over at me with a devious smile and winked.

I rolled my eyes but sat down to watch.

Shawn shrugged and walked over, as soon as he was in reach Cole grabbed his arm, turned around, twisted his hand and swung him over his shoulder.

Shawn groaned, "Mother F. What the hell?"

I laughed and applauded.

Cole bowed down, "Thank you, thank you."

"You taught him how to do that?" Blake asked, "In an hour?"

"More like two hours," I replied.

"Why me?" Shawn said looking up at the ceiling.

Cole chuckled and stuck out his hand for Shawn to take, "Sorry man."

"Next time do it to Blake. This is the second time this has happened to me," Shawn muttered.

I chuckled, "Wanna learn how do it?"

"No way," Cole said.

"Uh yes way," Shawn shot back.

"She already helped you with math and she promised to teach me a long time time ago," Cole said.

"Well frankly I don't like to be the one that gets flipped, I'd rather be the one that flips people," Shawn said.

The two of them kept rampaging like that back and forth. I glanced over at Blake.

"Wanna play some video games?" I asked.

He shrugged but walked over the game room. I smiled and followed him.

"What game?" He asked as we reached the room.

"Whichever you want," I replied as I sat on one of the bean bags.

Blake put in Call of Duty. Classic violence game, for the whole family to enjoy.

We played a couple rounds and finally Shawn and Cole came back.

"So who won?" I asked.

"I did," Shawn said.

"No I did," Cole shot back.

"I did and you know it!" Shawn yelled.

"Are you serious about this Shawn!?" Cole yelled.

They both started to argue and yell at each other. Blake stood up and pushed them out of the doorway. He shut the door and locked it.

"I'll let you in when I stop hearing your yelling," Blake told them.

But Cole and Shawn kept yelling at each other.

I laughed, "I don't think they heard you."

"Well fuck them," Blake said waving his hand on the door.

I shook my head and went back to the game.

Me and Blake didn't talk much, we just played the game. After Cole and Shawn calmed down we let them come in and play with us. Later Lilly called us up for lunch and we went upstairs. Suzie was excited to go to the arcade and it made me smile. After lunch everyone seperated and went there own ways.

I still had like two or three hours before I had to leave so I went upstairs and to my bedroom. Suzie followed me upstairs and into my room. I gave her a weird look.

"Hey Sue," I said.

"Hi," She said back.

"Whatch doing?" I asked.

She shrugged, "Waiting for the arcade."

"I can see that," I said sitting on my bed.

"So Tori is this a date?" she asked.

I laughed, "What?"

"Yeah you and Mark," she asked, "And I know you're just friends and all, but wouldn't it be a date?"

"Ok first of all, me and Mark are just best friends," I said, "Second if it were some random kid no becuase we are taking our little sister and brother with us. So no it isn't."

"But if me and Conlan didn't go...." Suzie asked.

"Then it just be me and Mark hanging out like always," I said.

"Ok," Suzie shrugged, "Hey can I watch a movie while we wait."

I checked the time, "When it's over we'll have to leave."

"Alright," she said.

"Which movie?" I asked walking over to my big cardboard box of movie's that was in the corner of the room.

"Tarzan!" She said.

I laughed and grabbed the movie putting it into the DVD player. Suzie quickly ran to her room and grabbed BoBo. She sat down on my bean bag while I took my bed. I texted Cali as the movie started.

Cali was on her way to her date with Jerry. She says she really likes this guy and blah, blah, blah. After my incident with Trent I am not dating for a while. After Cali said she had to go, I switched and started texting with Em.

Suzie started to sing 'Son of Man' and I couldn't help but smile when she did. I think it's fair to say that Disney cartoon movies do have good songs.

Em and me talked and she is a really nice girl. She likes to joke around to, reminds me of Shawn sometimes. She comes up with really cheesy yet funny things.

"Tori the movies almost over!" Suzie said as the movie was coming to an end.

I got up and grabbed my snapbag. I watched the ending with Suzie and when it was done I pulled out the movie and put it back in its box. Suzie went to her room and grabbed her England backpack that Cole gave her and we headed downstairs.

"Dad we're gonna start heading out," I told him as we headed to the garage.

"Bye you two," Lilly said.

Dad waved at us and I we said our goodbyes. Me and Sue walked to the car and I noticed that all the boy's cars were missing. I looked back at the house as I sat down in the drivers. Dad and Lilly. Alone. Ewwwwwwwww.

"Tori! Lets goooo!" Suzie said impatiently.

"Ok, ok," I shook my head but smiled and pulled out of the garage.

I turned on the radio and started driving down to the arcade.
