Hi all! Thank you for reading this. It's been a pretty hectic week and this week will be worse. But oh well, that's my own fault :)

Just to let you know, I live in New Zealand. I don't know much about other countries way of doing things. I have a little idea of some things but not others. So I apologize in advance if you get a little confused but I will try and keep it understandable.

Enjoy!

"So you want me to go to Mrs Knight and distract her so you guys can get your hockey gear?" Camille stood with her arms folded, leaning against the door to her apartment.

The band members had found Camille and were now in the process of convincing her to do this for them. With huge grins on their faces, they nodded their heads enthusiastically.
Camille shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I could do this," and walked off towards 2J.

Putting down her rolling pin, Jennifer Knight dusted off her hands on her apron and went to see who was knocking at her door.
"Camille, what a lovely surp_"

She was interrupted by Camille barging through her door – lightly grabbing her wrist on the way past and dragging her to the table.
"Get under the table! Quick!"

Down on her hands and knees, Jen watched her sons' friend rush over to the curtains and close them. She now noticed that Camille was dressed in a space suit and was only missing her space helmet. Shaking her head she started to rise. "Camille honey, I need_"

"No, no, no Mrs Knight." Camille hurried back to her, pushed her down under the table, and followed behind. "The aliens are coming for you. I saw them. They've been searching for the last hour. Carlos was taken first. Then James, then Logan, and they just beamed Kendall up 10 minutes ago I heard them say you were next. You can't go Mrs K! You can't! Katie needs you." Camille finished with a pleading look on her face.

Jennifer sighed and rolled her eyes, thinking that the best thing is to just go along with it until Camille finished. She must be practicing for a new role she thought.

While this was going on, the boys' quietly snuck into their apartment by the door that had been left open – thank you Camille – and made their was over to Swirly without being noticed.

"How are we going to get up? I don't do quiet very well." Whispered Carlos.

Kendall thought for a moment. "You two stand guard." He said, pointing to James and Carlos. "Don't let mom see you. Or hear you." He said as an after thought. Logan and I will get all the gear we need." Logan nodded to him.

With that said, Carlos and James both turned around and crouched low to the ground. Kendall first, with Logan following him, climbed up Swirly as quickly as he could without slipping.

Once at the top of the slide, Kendall kept low and waited for Logan. "You go into yours and James's room and I'll go into mine and Carlos's, then we will meet back here."
Logan nodded as he creaped out of Swirly and crawled to his room.

At the base of the giant yellow slide, James and Carlos had found a pot plant to hide behind. "I recon," Carlos whispered to James. "If real life had music playing in the background all the time, then right now we would here 'dan dan dadan, dan dan dadan"
"Shhhh." James had his finger up against his lips and was shhhhhing Carlos from singing the Mission Impossible theme song. "We're meant to be watching mamma Knight and making sure she doesn't see us. Not singing songs. Here, put this on."

James handed Carlos a bush hat. Taking off Helmet, Carlos places it down beside him and put on his new hat.

"Now Mamma Knight wont see us." Carlos was grinning.

James rolled his eyes and turned his head back to keep an eye on Mamma K and Camille.

Logan was at the top of Swirly waiting for Kendall, who was crawling towards him. That was the easy part. Now we have to get our gear down without making any noise.
"I'll go first then you follow." He told Kendall.
Not waiting for a response, Logan climbed into Swirly. Holding both his and James's hockey sticks in one hand and their helmets in the other, he slid slowly down. Praying that Mamma Knight wont hear them.

Reaching the end of the yellow swirl, he had to laugh at what he saw. James was looking at both females. That was fine. What was making him laugh was the person next to him. There was Carlos, crouched behind a pot plant. He had a bush hat on and he was bopping his head up and down like he was listening to music. But when Logan looked closer, there were no headphones in his ears and he sure couldn't hear any music. Only Carlos Logan thought to himself as he climbed out of Swirly to let Kendall slide down.

James heard a noise and turned. Kendall was coming feet first out of the slide and stood up holding his and Carlos's hockey gear. Tapping Carlos on the shoulder, he pointed towards the door, indicating that it was time to leave.

Carlos nodded and creaped to the door, forgetting that he still had his bush hat on. Logan, still laughing quietly, motioned for James to pick up Carlos's helmet, since both he and Kendall had their hands full, and followed Carlos.

As the door closed quietly behind them, they let out a sigh of relief.
"What the heck were you listening to Carlos?" Logan asked his crazy friend, giving James his hockey gear while Kendall gave Carlos his.
"Don't ask," James replied before Carlos could.
Carlos shrugged his shoulders and then an idea came to him. "Last one to the car park is a Logan!"

Carlos pushed passed James, who was in his way and headed for the stairs. The others were quick to follow.

Just as the apartment door closed, Camille got up from under the table, frying pan still in hand from when she bravely journeyed to the kitchen to find a weapon to fight off any ailens that happened to find them.

"Well, I can't hear them any more so I guess they've stopped searching for you." Camille walked over to the kitchen and put the frying pan back where it belonged. "Any who. I'll be off. I'm sure Kendall and the others will be just fine."

Jennifer Knight crawled out from under the table, stood up, and dusted her hands and knees.
"Camille," she said, looking at the girl.

Camille stopped at the door and turned around.

"Tell my boys to be careful playing hockey. The last thing we want is for one of them to get hurt."

Camille looked shocked. "How did you know?"

"I'm a mom sweetie. I know everything." Smiling, Jennifer went back to her cooking while Camille walked out of the apartment in awe.

No. I am not going to loose! Carlos thought to himself. James had passed him at the top of the stairs and he could feel the other two right behind him.
Halfway down the stairs, Carlos put on a burst of speed and pushed passed James. Hockey gear and all.

Later, James wondered why it was Carlos that had passed him if he was only coming second. But right now, only one word was going through his head.

"CARLOS!"

Reaching out, he tried to grab onto anything of Carlos. But had no luck. The boys stared in horror as Carlos tumbled down the rest of the stairs, landing in a motionless heap at the bottom.

Ooooo! Is Carlos alright?

Well, I'm going to leave it at that. I have study that needs to get done. Please review, they motivate me to write more :)
