Jacob and Amanda sat in a dimly lit living room, Amanda sat infront of the couch with a criss cross applesauce manner as Jacob was sitting on the furniture behind, helping her adjust her bows since they had gotten a bit loose from her skating around all day long, with Skeet resting up the left side of the couch with his phone in hands.

Amanda was watching TV as he helped, a children's movie was playing that had caught her attention, the lit screen being the only source of light aside from the other rooms that had their lights on and their doors open plus the other boy's phone. Jacob was too focused on doing his best with fixing her accessories to pay attention to whatever was on TV.

Eventually, Brandon had ran up aside them, hilding a piece of paper that had been drawn on.

– "Jay! Mandy! Skee! Look at what I drew!"

Jacob's attention had shifted over to the side of the couch were Brandon stood, he reached out and took Brandon's drawing for a good look at it. It was a poor quality yet cute drawing, all four of them side by side on a grassy field with a tree nearby and a massive sun in the top left corner.

Jacob found it endearing despite Brandon not having much artistic skills.

– "Oh, this is so cool, did you draw this?"

Despite a tired voice, Jacob was proud of his little brother. He promptly tapped Amanda's shoulder to get her attention and show her Brandon's artwork, she smiled and thought it was cute. She then shoved it on Skeet's face so he'd put down the phone and look at it too in which he did.

– "Yeah! I made it all by myself"

Brandon felt happy about the attention and praise he got, he was content that they liked it, specially since they were the in the drawing along with him.

– "I wanna hang it up on the fridge"

– "Well, I guess it looks acceptable enough"

Amanda suggested a thought of hers followed by Skeet's (non required) approval, causing Brandon's eyes to slightly widen with ecxitement.

– "Yeah! It's good!"

Brandon jumped in place, Jacob giving a small smile at how ecstatic he seemed.

– "Gimme a few minutes to help Mandy, ok Bran? I'll get the tape and we'll put that on the fridge"

Jacob took back the paper and handed it to the youngest one, who now had the important self given mission of protecting it until his older brother came along to stuck the drawing to the fridge's door.

After a short bit of time, the promise was completed as Jacob placed the drawing on the freezer door, the higher up the fridge the better. He pressed his thumbs onto the taped parts to make sure they'd stick.

– "Yeah!!"

Brandon cheered as he hugged Jacob, who was satisfied with the reaction and hugged back.

The moon had risen, most of the siblings were heading to their respective rooms, except for one who hid in the corner of the kitchen, which initially came there to get a quick snack but had their thoughts spiral out of control to the point he broke down in tears and chose to keep himself under a table until he calmed down, also known as Skeet.

The sobs didn't go unheard, though, Jacob approached closer to where the miserable cries came from, crouching down with slight exhaustion.

– "What's wrong?"

He questioned, and in return got refused to be acknowledged or answered. He'd sigh,

– "Come on, please... You can talk to me, I'll listen,"

He'd pause his speech to reach out his hand toward the hiding mess of tears.

– "I wanna help you, I don't wanna leave you like this."

After a small amount of seconds, Skeet would hesitantly take his hand and crawl out of there, feeling ashamed of himself for being found in this state.

Jacob would simply bring him into a hug once the other stood up, which brought slight suprise to Skeet, he didn't expect nor was used to this. He just let him embrace him, though yet didn't exactly hug him back, tears still present and actively running down his face.

– "So, what happened? What's got you like this? Or do you not feel like talking?"

Jacob started after a silent moment, Skeet mentally debating whether he should speak the truth or keep it to himself.

– "... I don't wanna talk about it.."

Skeet would mumble, still highly embarrassed that he was being so vulnerable considering the way he made his personality be.

– "Alright then, wanna watch some TV to get your mind off things before you go to sleep? Just a few short, quiet cartoon episodes though, I won't let you stay up too late, they're just so you can relax"

– "Fine... But can I eat zomething?"

– "Sure, just don't eat too loudly, Brandon and Amanda are sleeping"

Skeet would grab a bowl of cereal he made before his little breakdown, and so the two made their way to the living room and do as they planned.

Chapter Text

Somehow, someway, Amanda found an abandoned shopping cart in an alleyway last week while she was practicing skating tricks, her best idea? Call two of her brothers to come ride the cart down a steep neighborhood road. What could go wrong.

Amanda was atleast smart enough to bring skater helmets for each of them so they wouldn't get a whole concussion, with the sneaky excuse that she was "going to teach the two the tricks she learned".

As of now the three stood at the top of the road, there were no cars in sight thankfully so it should be safe,

– "Are you sure we'll be ok?"

Brandon was settled inside of the cart, he seemed a tad nervous, yet didn't want to miss out on the fun, it was hard for him to choose whether he participated or stepped out. Skeet would reply before Amanda could even say anything.

– "I don't zee anything that could go wrong, we have helmetz, no carz around, a clear view of everything, free will, and nobody to ztop uz"

Skeet would grab onto the back handle of the cart, he was getting ready to push it, meanwhile with Amanda she was fixing her helmet before getting in right aside Brandon. She grabbed onto the grids, the other copying her move for safety.

– "Are y'all ready?!"

Skeet asked with ecxitement, getting a firm answer from Amanda and a quiet nod from Brandon respectively.

– "Aye aye, sir!"

– "Uh... Aye aye sir"

Without another second going to waste, Skeet began pushing the cart, immediately going to the side and jumping in as soon as it was getting near the edge. And so, down they went.

Brandon had closed his eyes out of fear, Amanda raised her hands and cheered as she felt the wind on her face whilst Skeet was adjusting his position to feel more comfortable. He then asked something that he thought of.

– "Mandy how do we ztop this thing?"

– "WOOOOOOO— huh? what?"

– "How do we get thiz to slow down?"

– "Uhhhhmm...."

– "...Amanda???"

– "ARE WE GONNA CRASH?!"

Brandon interrupted the conversation in panic, his grip on the cart's grids growing stronger once he overheard that there was no plan on how to avoid them crashing. Before anything else could happen, Skeet pointed up ahead the direction of which they were going in high speed,

– "TREE!"

Next thing they knew, the cart would rush right into the same tree Skeet yelled about and hit its trunk, leaving a huge dent on the metal. Brandon got a small scratch on the back of his left hand, Amanda ALMOST hit the side of her head on the exposed grid ends right beside him, Skeet being lucky as the only one not getting any damages or going through a mild risk of getting any.

After all of that, they would have to walk all the way back up the street to go back home, Brandon trying his absolue best to not pay attention to his injury. Atleast they didn't hit a rock.

Chapter Text

It was a wonderous day outside, the wheather perfectly balanced, thus Brandon and Amanda wanted to go out to the park. Jacob came along with them of course, plus Skeet and D3tective, also would join them, Skeet was brought more because Jacob wanted him to spend more time outside, Skeet didn't complain too much because he didn't want to be alone at home for the whole day, meanwhile D3t was there since he had came to visit previous to their plans and he didn't have much to do that day.

On their way there they would meet with Ozo, who coincidentally was planning to go call Brandon to play, he didn't hesitate on going onboard with the idea of going to the local place, nobody really minded him being there.

There they were, Amanda was running around the playground like a hyperactive caffeinated skittish cat with zoomies jumping around, Brandon and Ozo were having a sand castle building competition at the sandbox, with Jacob, D3tective and Skeet were at a picnic table, Skeet was playing on his phone while the other two were talking about something.

Back to the friendly challenge between castles, Ozo had the idea to go gather sticks, leaves and rocks to decorate. He'd get up and go alone since Brandon was overly focused on getting his build to stay up straight.

Not even thirty seconds passed, and some "kid" that looked about fourteen years old or so would pass by Brandon discreetly await for him to get distracted and kick down Ozo's castle in the first opportunity he got, then promptly scram. Brandon was left there, flabbergasted, the castle wasn't even his but he felt like that was personal.

Ozo came back in pure confusion as he just saw that his castle had crumbled for no reason, causing Brandon to get up, grab the sleeve of his friend's jacket and pull him to come with him as he marched his way to the table where Skeet, D3tective and Jacob were.

– "Someone destroyed Ozo's castle! I don't even know why, they just came there, ruined it and ran away! He worked hard on it"

Brandon spoke like he was making an offended complaint, which he honestly was. Jacob would turn his head to look at the two, sigh and reply,

– "Who was it? I'll talk to them about it"

Brandon looked around the area, soon he'd point at the culprit. Jacob stood up and made his way to them, D3tective right aside him, Skeet got his phone ready to record as he thought something interesting would happen, Brandon and Ozo just stayed with Skeet.

Amanda would pause her playing as she noticed the two walking to somewhere, Brandon's pouting face and Skeet recording, she'd get down from where she was and follow Jacob too out of curiosity.

Not too long until they reached the corner were the kid was, the same one having a lollipop on their mouth and acted as if it was a cigarette whilst leaning against a barely working light pole. Jacob would try a friendly approach, trying to ask why they'd do that.

– "You're making such a big deal out of a little tiny worthless castle, don't you have anything better to do with your life?"

The kid answered, D3tective was about to chime into the conversation to say something whilst Skeet was considering goving up on recording, however, Amanda abruptly came in front and kicked the kid in the crotch, causing them to spit out the lollipop, clutch the damaged area, fall down and whine in agony.

– "Amanda?!"

– "They deserved it!"

D3t panicked slightly, not knowing if he should apologize to the kid, scold Amanda, let Jacob scold her or walk away. He chose to grab both of their wrists and calmly leave the scene.

Chapter Text

The four of them were all invited by Rochas to a birthday party of a family member of his, which they accepted, unaware of what to expect.

To start off, it was at some type of "club" but not like a disco club or anything, just a normal medium sized place that had space for a party, alongside an area for barbeques and a pool.

As the four got there they were already greeted as if they were part of the family despite 99% of them not know the siblings and only knowing how to speak basic english other than Rochas himself, whom dragged them around the moment he saw them to meet his family members. They took that opportunity to hand over the birthday gift to a responsible adult so Amanda wouldn't have to carry it around all the time since she was convinced she had the patience to handle it.

So, the four went around meeting everyone until they saw a familiar face, Dragon. I guess he was part of the family. They all chatted for a hell while, eventually going to the barbecue area to get some food, there were a few people at the pool, Skeet wanted to go there too but none of the four were expecting there to be a pool so no one brought any swim wear sadly. The only reason he didn't jump in there with the clothes he had on right now was because Jacob held him back.

While Rochas was telling some story that happened a few weeks ago to Jacob he spotted Dragon near a decorated area that had the birthday cake and some candies, he was taking some of the chocolate ones.

– "Ô Dragon da pra tu para de come os brigadeiro, diabo?? Nem chego a hora do parabéns!"

At the mention of his name Dragon stepped away from the area, acting as if he didn't do anything as he walked away.

– "What? why can't he eat those?"

Brandon asked mildly curious, wanting to take a closer look at the candies as he was calmly wondering why they're special.

– "Oh uh they're exclusive to the part after everyone sang happy birthday, kind of like extra candy to go along with the cake, I think"

Rochas explained, Brandon enjoying the fun fact and immediately looking over to the others to tell them about it.

Finally the time had come, everyone was gathered at the decorated area with the birthday kid standing behind a table which had the cake, singing happy birthday in their native language, Brandon tried to copy the words of the song but was butchering the pronunciation up entirely, Amanda was just clapping to the rythm without singing, so was Jacob, but it was because he felt like singing in english would be rude instead of brazillian portuguese, Skeet meanwhile didn't even dare to try to pronounce the different language since it was going at a fast pace and he didn't want to stupidly fail.

The second the song ended, it became a warzone between the children. Some kids rushed to go to certain tables and get the sweets they wanted, a tad bit of them taking more than two lollipops and using the excuse that it was for their parents and siblings, and a few teenagers scurrying off with handfuls of colorful marshmellows. 

Amanda was quick enough to grab two acid candy packets and keep them hidden from other kids, Skeet also managed to snatch a bonbon off one of the tables, Amanda then grabbed Brandon's wrist alongside Skeet's attention and running off with the two to go hide somewhere to eat the sugary good, thinking it's a kids' tradition to act like this or something.

No, it wasn't, the kids were just chaotic over sweets.

Jacob eventually found them hiding under a table near the barbecue corner and got them to get out of there.

At last, the party was over with the beautiful night sky, a good bunch of them had left by now, the four were also planning to do so. As they were reaching the exit they were unanticipatedly stopped by Rochas,

– "Hey, you forgot this!"

Rochas handed over a bag to Brandon, Skeet and Amanda, which was filled with different types of sweets, the three's eyes pratically sparkling.

– "Wow, none for me?"

Jacob sarcastically complained, Rochas scoffing in a non serious manner.

– "Sorry, it's for little kids only"

They had one last chat before they were about to leave, but Jacob noticed that Amanda was missing and Skeet was holding her treat bag.

– "...Oh lord where did she go."

Meanwhile Amanda was taking her opportunity to play around in the pool, not giving a single care if it was night, that the pool was empty, that she had her only clothes that she brought wet, she was having fun. 

That's until Dragon and some other cousin ratted her out. Yes, she did get scolded and had to walk back home with the others freezing cold, she MIGHT have got a fever after but she's fine.

Amanda and Skeet would be at the living room, sitting upon the couch, arguing over what to watch on the TV.

– "No! I don't wanna watch My Little Pony! That'z for little girlz!"

– "Firstly you're speaking as if pink isn't considered girly, lastly you chose yesterday's movie, it's not fair I don't get to choose!"

– "Pick zomething elze then, it'z not that hard... Alzo I find pink to be quite manly thank you"

– "Didn't ask, hand over the remote already and let me start the movie"

She tried to swiftly steal the item from his hand but was met with a sudden pillow to the face.

– "OW?!"

She raised a hand up to where she was hit.

– "OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

– "OH I SEE HOW IT IS DUMBASS"

She took a pillow of her own in the other corner of the couch, ready for a stupid and more than useless fight.

That fight went on for two minutes until Brandon showed up, took the remote while they weren't paying attention and just put on one of those dancing fruit videos. The two instantly stopped what they were doing and looked over at the kid, soon at the screen.

– "...What? Really? Out of all thingz you could've chozen?"

– "We could've gotten something better"

– "Yup, we could've..."

Yet they still didn't look away from the screen, eventually they moved to sit right next to Brandon, all three of them sat in silence as they simply watched the video.

Jacob had came around to join them, though slightly less interested in the video he still wanted to spend time with them.

Chapter Text

Amanda and Skeet were having a little competition between eachother at the local skatepark to see who could do more impressive tricks, Jacob and Brandon had came to watch their little challenge with Brandon seeing everything in admiration, hoping to grow up and be like them while Jacob was cheering them on without having a specific expectation of who'd win, he was just happy to see them have fun.

Midway through Skeet balancing off a grind, someone would speak out from afar which caught the attention of all four of them.

– "Skeet! Hey! Didn't knowyou'd be here today!"

Skeet almost lost his proportion once he immediately recognized his friend's voice, but was able to get down safely whilst Amanda showed up right beside him with an obvious question in mind.

– "Hey, who's that?"

– "Oh he'z a friend of mine, hiz name'z Matt, I don't think any of you met him yet"

– "Does he know how to skate?"

– "Yeah he doez but honeztly I'm probably better than him at it"

– "If he knows how to skate he's a friend to me"

Meanwhile the only reason Matt hadn't came up to the two yet was because Brandon was asking over a million questions to him while Jacob was subtly trying to tell Brandon to calm down and not be too nosy.

– "Woah! You know how to skate too?"

Matt would nod and smile,

– "I sure do, I even won a competition against other people once and gotthis cool looking helmet! What do you think of it?"

Brandon was amazed, he was talking to a winner! He could only imagine how difficult it could've been to win.

– "It looks awesome!!"

– "Yay! I'm very proud of it if you ask me"

Matt didn't feel really bothered by how the other acted, he actually found it a bit funny. Jacob eventually simply gave up on trying to get Brandon to stop bothering Matt as he noticed that nothing was getting out of hand as of now.

Interrupting Brandon's constant talking, Amanda would roll up near the three and point at Matt with dramatic mannerisms.

– "You."

Matt looked behind himself to check if she meant someone else, but then silently pointed at at his own face as if saying "Me?".

– "Yeah you, join me and Skeet's competition, let's see who's better"

– "We won't go eazy on you juzt becauze you're our friend, we'll deztroy you"

Skeet announced as he approached the rest, Matt was not afraid to freely accept their invitation.

– "If you're not goingeasy on me, then I won't go easy on you guys either"

– "Oh it's on"

– "I'll be leaving you two crying the zecond I claim that win"

– "As if!"

Amanda exclaimed, making her way back to where they previously were showing off their abilities. Brandon joyfully went after her to watch, Jacob walked more calmly, and before Skeet followed them suit Matt tapped his shoulder.

– "Hey, quick question, who are they again?"

Skeet didn't take too long to answer,

– "Oh, they're my ziblingz I told you about"

– "That's alot ofsiblings"

– "It'z a long ztory, kind of, now let's go before Amanda gets impatient"

Matt nodded and quickly took his path with Skeet not far behind.

Chapter Text

The two middle siblings, Skeet and Amanda, had snook out the apartment with one plan, get sugar and snacks from a convenience store that was a medium distance away. They didn't even need to sneak out, they could've asked Jacob to go with them but they wanted to act and feel like they were stealthy.

They took a few bucks alongside their phones and skateboards as if they were walkie talkies and motorbikes, feeling like top level secret agents, yet they'd be lying if they said they didn't feel scared whenever they passed by someone older than them in the middle of the sidewalk, specially since it was night. They just stuck close to eachother through the whole way out of pure fear.

They eventually would reach their destination, putting their skateboards somewhere hidden so no one would take them and headed into the shop.

– "I'm gonna get a bloxiade, you can juzt get whatever"

Skeet carelessly told Amanda as he made his way to the drink section, the other going off to go get a bag of chips, any flavor would do but she always preferred the classic flavors.

Soon, she found one that she did enjoy, the problem was that she couldn't reach up to get it, she was considering climbing the shelf. That's until some pink haired older girl would notice her struggles and come closer to grab the bag for her.

– "Here,"

She'd simply say as she handed over the item to Amanda, who took it without thinking twice

– "Thank you!"

– "You're welcome"

She'd smile proudly, before a voice called out to her from outside.

– "Hailey! Come on! What's taking you so long?"

The girl would rush her way to the exit, yelling back something along the lines of "I'm going, Purple!". Amanda felt like she recognized that name but shrugged it off and headed off to the cashier area.

Skeet however, was arguing with someone with a skull mask over the last bloxiade.

– "But why do you deserve it more huh?"

– "Becauze I zaw it firzt, now hand it over already!"

– "That's not how it works! That's so childish!"

The argument went on for some time, Amanda had found Skeet, shoved a Witche's Brew in his hand and began dragging him to just go pay for what they wanted and go home.

– "Hey! I wazn't done speaking!!—"

His resistance was useless as she couldn't give less of a fuck.

– "...I'll be talking this then"

The person took the Bloxiade and walked away, he didn't even want the drink that bad he just argued because Skeet started it and he wasn't going to back down.

Finally the two got what they wanted so now it was time to go home, they skated their way through the path they hoped they remembered correctly. They thankfully did get back home safely.

Chapter Text

He could remember this place all too well, the disgusting wooden floorboards and walls with moss, the same stale air that he refused to breathe again, the cracks in the back walls which had mushrooms growing out of them. He was there. Back at that despised shed, the "dirt room" as he once used to call it.

He couldn't do anything but sit there, he couldn't move his arms or legs in the slightest despite being able to feel them move around whenever he tried to force them to, however as he looked down at them he'd see they were stuck in place.

The shed's small door window couldn't let in any light, it was blocked by the poster containing the exact rules to be a good sundowner, the paper looked just as he remembered and it made him feel beyond sick. He didn't have the courage to read anything that was written, he only wanted to get out of there.

The closed space brought back too many memories, he felt as if the walls slowly were coming closer as well as the roof seemingly lowering itself, he had the sense as though the room was shrinking, the thought made him feel uneasy yet his face was frozen as an emotionless state.

He felt like a ragdoll with how he had no power over himself, he wanted to cry but his own face wouldn't listen to him, he had no control of his own body, his own corpse.

He heard leaves crunching from the outside which indicated that something was approaching the shed, his heart sank as he could only imagine one person who was creeping closer, one specific man is the only person he expected to be the one opening that door. He didn't want to go back to him, he wanted his siblings, he wanted the freedom and joy they gave him. But what could he do if it was really him? He couldn't fight back that's for sure.

He'd listen and watch as the door creaked open, he'd shut his eyes if he had control over them.

– "Brandon? What are you doing here little guy?"

Those words rang out as soon as the door would open all the way, Skeet stood right infront of the shed, Brandon couldn't feel more relieved yet sadly couldn't express it.

– "Hey, come on, let's go home"

Skeet stepped in and picked up Brandon, making sure to have a firm grip so he wouldn't fall or slip. Brandon could finally actually move himself, all he did was wrap his arms around Skeet's neck and lower his face onto his shoulder as he let him take him away from this place. Skeet noticed the poster hung upon the door, reaching out to tear it off before slamming the door shut.

Brandon then woke up.

Chapter Text

It was a casual evening at the apartments, nothing had went out of hand yet. Amanda was cleaning her room, Skeet trying to find something he lost in the living room and lastly Jacob washing the dishes with a small help of Brandon.

Peace was present though it felt like calm before the storm, which did not last long before the power went out across the whole building. It suprised everyone there, someone even screamed.

– "Amanda! Calm down, everything's fine"

Jacob called out as he searched for his phone to use as a light source, however, Amanda had came out of her room already with her own phone using the flashlight mode.

– "Oh you think you're funny huh, that wasn't me"

After a brief silence, Skeet chimed in the conversation.

– "...She'z lying it waz her, she waz the one that zcreamed"

– "No the hell it wasn't??"

– "Now's not the time to argue you two"

A warning tone was present in his tone, he picked up his phone to turn on its light, Brandon clinging onto him out of a tad bit of fear.

– "Whatever, I'm just gonna go back to my room, I'm like three tasks away from it being squeaky clean"

She then went back to where she came from. Skeet had gave up on his search and stayed near Jacob aswell for the light source, the same looking at him with a puzzled look.

– "Uh... Do you not know where your phone is?"

Skeet sighed,

– "It'z out of battery"

– "What? But I saw you charging it this morning"

– "Yeahhh nooo I already wazted all the battery from that"

Jacob took a deep breath and facepalmed. Breaking the silence, a knock was heard on the door, Jacob told the two others to follow them to stay at the living room while he'd check who was at the door.

Turns out, it was just a neighbor coming to check if they weren't the only ones that had the power die out.

– "Ohhh so it wanst jus here? I wonder wut happened"

– "Yeah.. So do you know why's this happening orrr?"

– "Nope, Idk either, I thought u'd know or atleast some1 else"

– "I guess all we can do is wait"

Jacob shrugged whilst he spoke, the two's chat soon ended as the neighbor's mom called her home for dinner.

– "Oh, I'll have 2 go now, bye Jacob!!"

She waved as she ran back to her apartment.

– "Bye Kate"

Jacob responded whilst closing the door, only to look back at the living room and see that Brandon and Skeet had built a pillow fortress in the meanwhile. The two were acting as if they were hiding from some dangerous creature that was lurking in the shadows, what else could Jacob even do other than play along just to scare them for zero reason other than that it'd be funny?

Chapter Text

Been a while since I posted anything, writer's block has been tearing me like paper in a shredder, so have a stupid little doodle as an apology

Chapter Text

As evening came upon the afternoon, three little punks decided it was a good idea to try to cook dinner. Jacob wasn't at home at the time, he was busy helping on a project D3tective invited him to assist but he had peft some money and told Skeet and Amanda to order something as he was aware that they knew how to.

But for some reason they thought that they were good enough to make pancakes.

Their first mistake was not knowing where the ingredients were, they spent most of the time searching for everything and running around the kitchend like headless chickens.

– "We need a pan!"

Amanda hurried from one side to the other, she got two different responses from Brandon and Skeet.

– "I think it's over there"

– "Zilly we alreay have yo—

So there they were, they had the ingredients and tools required, but they needed to make the batter first. Amanda poured baking powder and sugar as well as salt into a large bowl whilst focusing so she didn't do anything uneven, Brandon calmly walked with the flour in hands before he got distracted and bumped into Amanda, stumbling and dropping the flour packet with it opening and having a good amount of the powder fly out onto the floor, alongside Amanda having messed up a small overdose of sugar.

Skeet just laughed like an idiot at the scene.

Eventually they mixed all the dry Ingredients into one. Their second mistake was to let Skeet try to crack eggs, he was getting a huge part of the shells fall in and was getting his hands all dirty.

– "Dude what on EARTH are you even doing???"

Amanda was terrified as she watched Skeet's absolute obliteration of three simple eggs.

– "I got thiz, I got thiz"

– "No you don't??"

– "Shut the hell up, I do got thiz!"

– "Skeet. Zach. You do not got this."

Brandon meanwhile was sitting on the counter, watching in silence and mild concern.

Don't even mention about how much milk was added, there was thrice more than the amount of eggs.

– "This is gonna turn out terrible..."

Amanda sighed as she mixed the dry and wet ingredients together.

– "Oh lighten up will ya? I'm zure it won't be that bad in the end"

– "Hey can we please get pizza if this doesn't work?"

– "Wha??? Do you not have FAITH in me??"

– "Yeah we can, Brandy"

– "Yay! Thank you!"

– "Thiz iz bullshit."

Now the last thing was to cook and flip the pancakes which Amanda didn't trust Skeet with in the slightest bit, and Brandon was beyond not allowed to use the stove, guess she had to do it.

Skeet insisted repeatedly that he should try to do a pancake flip yet Amanda was stubborn in not letting him place a singular finger on the pan's handle, it was an unstoppable force against an unmovable object.

In the middle of all this arguing, Amanda's attention had went off the stove, she only remembered them because Brandon pointed them out but it was too late, it was burnt.

They tried again with a few more batter there still was on the bowl with this time having Amanda pay more attention, despite so, when she tried to flip it fell on the floor. Skeet mockingly going "Tsk, tsk..." while handing her a spatula, she was not happy to say the least.

Third and last time is the charm, she carefully attempted to flip it with the most extreme amount of caution she ever used in her life. She did it, it was an actual well cooked pancake, after it cooled down she gave it to Skeet for him to taste test.

He cut a piece of it with a fork and took a bite.

– "... You know what? Brandy'z right, we should get pizza inztead"

– "Yaaaaay!!!"

Chapter Text

Jacob currently was driving around the city, on voice call with Amanda and Skeet to find them, as well as having D3tective in the passenger seat on this mess. They were all late to go pick up Brandon from school.

– "I'm about to find you, I'm about to find you guys I need you two to stay still..."

Some other cars ends up crashing into eahcother nearby.

– "DAMN??"

D3t shouted in suprise of the scene, briefly taking Jacob's attention before looking back at the street and talking to Amanda.

– "...Stay still guys I'm about to find you, do not move"

"I'm stayin', I'm stayin'"

She answered from the voice call, Skeet not even paying attention.

–"Do not move"

"We're not movin', we're not movin'"

D3t was also keeping lookout for the duo just in case.

– "...Where the hell are you.."

He then spotted the two a short walk away. 

– "GET INNNN!!! GET IN, GET IN, YOU IDIOTS!!"

"OH— OH! OH!! OHHH!!!"

Amanda shoutrd as she tapped Skeet's shoulder to get his attention and soon scrambled to the car right after, almost tripping on the asphalt, Skeet was also caught off guard and following right after her, going to the other side of the car to sit on the opposite side of the backseat.

– "GET THE FUCK IN THE CAR, NOW!!!"

 They'd both open their respective doors to the backseat and sit beside each other, wheezing and laughing, D3t also silently giggling from the situation.

To resume the whole situation, Skeet planned to go hangout with his friends at the central part of the city, Matt, Sunshiners and Galaxy, alongside Amanda forcing her way into the group because she was bored. But then he wandered off without telling anyone, now Shiner's texting him as they were all at a sidewalk.

"Where are you guyz"

– "Skeet, for hell's sake, you DON'T know your way around Robloxia, I've taught you A MILLION TIMES and you still don't know"

Galaxy facepalmed whilst he sighed,

– "Where would he even go?"

– "The better question is did he manage to get the place he wanted to go in the first place"

Amanda would add as she sat down on the floor, her back against the wall of a building.

– "Do youguys think he's gonna be ok?"

– "If he gets in danger he'll probbably run like crazy and scream like a little girl, trust me I know well"

Matt asked and got a somewhat joking answer from Amanda.

– "Great, now Jacob's gonna call us and ask 'where's Skeet?' and we don't know where that guy's at"

Sunshiners took a deep breath before finally starting a voice call with the one she so complained about.

– "Where in tarnation are you"

"Antartica"

– "Skeet be for real"

"Ok fine, I don't know where I am, you happy?"

Galaxy would speak up, trying to be clear enough for Skeet to hear.

– "Try to describe your surroundings, what buildings can you see?"

"Uhhh... A park, a hozpital, buz station, the local crackhead alley in the diztance, and a diner"

Amanda would stand up as she overheard the situation,

– "A WHAT??"

– "A diner"

– "No not that! WHY are you near a place with crackheads??? Get the fuck away from there you idiot"

– "Well damn I'm not even like right azide it but ok, no need to yell at me!"

Matt hesitantly stated a thought of which followed by a question from Galaxy.

– "I feel like Iknow where he's at, but I'm not sure"

– "Why do you know an area with a crackhead place?"

– "You're talking as if I said I onlyknew that corner, I said I knew where he is and notthat specific area"

– "...True, true"

– "What are we waiting for? Let's go before he walks away again"

Matt nodded and lead the way as to where he assumed Skeet would be at.

Tonight was freezing cold, alongside a good amount of rain which could soothe the thoughts and bring peace to mind.

Most of the household was dead asleep, except for two.

Jacob snook his way to the kitchen in a mission to get a cup of water without waking anyone up, meeting the unexpected sight of Brandon sitting on the floor by a window with a smile whilst leaning against a wall, he couldn't help but whisper

– "...Brandon? You ok? What are you doing?"

That'd catch the boy's attention, he'd look over at him and nod with his unwavering serene expression.

– "I'm looking at the rain!"

He'd answer simply, Jacob taking a quick glance at the window before his sight went back to the other.

– "Aren't you cold? You should be asleep by now... You shouldn't be up past your bedtime"

– "Awww... can I please stay here for a bit more? please?"

– "..."

He'd sigh

– "Fine... But don't stay up too long, and get something warmer to wear"

Jacob then proceeded to continue his way to the kitchen like he planned. Turns out he spent more time than planned, organizing a bit of stuff in the cupboards since he wanted to waste some energy.

As he passed by where he had previously seen Brandon, he'd find that the boy was still in his place, however he had fallen asleep. Jacob would look at the scene for a short period of time before going back to his room.

Soon after, he returned to the same spot with a blanket and pillows in hands, he'd sit down aside Brandon and cover the both of them comfortably, alongside placing a pillow behind each's backs. Brandon subconsciously leaned onto him, which caused him to place a hand on the other's shoulder and soon he fell asleep along with him.

So apparently today was a good day to host a waffle-cooking competition according to a certain group that did funny skits for YouTube that we know as, or atleast how I like to call them, Recall for short. Of course, the favorite parent-problemed siblings of ours were invited as well as a few other groups.

From remembering past experiences, Skeet, Brandon and Amanda weren't the best with cooking, but this time they had Jacob who would probbably be the leader and do most of the work.

There were five teams:

Rochas, Cappy and 1Dash, Team Investigation

Kate, Lucky and Ezra, Team Bakers

Jacob, Skeet, and Amanda, Team Skaters (Despite Skeet and Amanda being the only ones that skate)

Deivy, Z_7k and Geometry, Team Defense

Finn, Suzie and Kevin, Team "That-will-win"

Brandon and Spacewanderer had also shown up with their respective groups, however, they chose to stay out and just chat with eachother about any similar interests so it'd be three members each group.

They had some time to plan before a team was sent into the kitchen with a time limit to prepare everything, get out, and let the next team in one by one.

First up was team investigation, it was mildly funny see them scramble around to get things done and even more hilarious seeing Dash and Cappy argue about what flavor to choose as Rochas suffered to pick who's side he'd be on.

Meanwhile Skeet had been looking at one of Rochas' friends in specific for a small while, when Amanda asked he'd say "I think I've zeen thiz guy before zomewhere", she just called him crazy.

After Team Investigation had their results ready they'd carefully take their plate with waffles once they had cleaned up the kitchen and left for Team Bakers to take their turn.

Team Bakers, in fact, were good at baking as their name suggested. Kate was leading the group as the other two listened with their full trust on that girl. It almost looked like magic how well they worked together, not a single moment would one scream at the other for anything they've done wrong.

The other groups soon saw the waffles that same team made raised up to the ceiling by both of Lucky's hands like it was a prize.

Team Skaters were up, the moment they stepped in the kitchen Jacob was flooded with questions by the other two for instructions on what to do, however he managed to balance out helping the others and paying attention to his own tasks at hand. 

Amanda was keeping herself together to not call Skeet stupid for getting the wrong ingredient, Skeet also had to control himself to not yell at her to move whenever she got in his way for a single second. Jacob wasn't having a peaceful mindset either, he felt stressed about the timer, it made him feel like any moment they didn't do anything that would make them run iut of time.

They were able to get something done, though. They organized the kitchen before the left for Team Defense to come in and do their best.

They did well, a few mistakes here and there but nothing too severe. 7K tried to get creative with the final touches like adding grapes mixed with blueberries and raspberries to the toppings. Deivy just let them do whatever as long as they didn't mess everything up with Geometry having a tad of fun with recommending 7k what else throw in to the extra sweets.

Lastly, Team That-will-win were given their chance. They were just here to have fun though, the competition was lile a side quest to them, they did the recipe as they wished to without regretting adding an extra spoon of something or less of another thing nor if it's too sweet.

All they cared about was having fun, and they were doing a pretty good job of keeping themselves entertained.

And so, the final decision was being made, the hosts had their taste tests on each of the results and were discussing amongst eachother about their opinions, thoughts and what they thought was best.

Everyon else was either anxious, ecxited, both or impatient.

And so, the winners from first to third places were...

Bakers on first place, followed by Defense on second and Investigation on third.

Skaters might not have win, but the action they had today sure made them feel like they spent their time well together.

Hello dearest readers, as you may or may not know, CDarchive, also known as the "arg" Jacob is from, has been deleted. As of that, it kind of feels wrong for me to write about him in this fic but it also feels so wrong to just have Amanda, Skeet and Brandon but not him.

Not to mention, this whole deletion thing has REALLY brought me down to tears, as a mentally unstable Jacob kinnie, I know it's kind of stupid that I'm suffering so much grief over a dumb roblox character but I can't help myself.

I'm so sorry about this, I just don't know what to do about it because as I said, it feels wrong since it was literally asked by the creator of cdarchive to pretend the whole series never existed.

I hope you understand, again I'm sorry as I know some of you really enjoy this silly thing and I'm grateful for that.
