Craig's P.O.V

"Hey guys," Vanoss said as we stepped out of the elevator, we were almost to his room. "How about a game of truth of dare?" "Can we? It's always fun!" Lui commented. "Why not?" Delirious said. I nodded my head approvingly. ...This better not turn dirty... 

"Okay, we're here. Who wants to start?" Vanoss asked once we got into the room. "Can I?" Marcel asked. Vanoss shrugged, "Go ahead." "Okay then! Brock, truth or dare?" Marcel asked. "Oh, you fucker! Dare I guess." Moo responded. "He never chooses dare! Make this a good one, Basically!" Tyler exclaimed. "Uhhhhhhhh, I dare you to touch a cloud!" Marcel said with a smirk. We burst out laughing. "You want me to do WHAT? How the fuck am I supposed to touch a cloud?! You have to be joking!" Moo asked. "You have wings! Fly up and touch it!" "You do know a cloud is basically just water, right?" Daithi asked. "Yes, I know!" Marcel said. "Here, I'll give you jar then you fly up, touch it, fill the jar with cloud water as proof and fly back. Easy as can be." Marcel explained. ...Easy my ass...

"The lowest clouds are at most 6000 feet! Brock might not be able to breath is he's up that high!" Terroriser exclaimed. "I have asthma, remember?" Brock said. "*Sigh* of course I remember. I CAN'T FUCKING FORGET THINGS! Terroriser you go with him and bring his inhaler. You can fly or hover or whatever it is you can do!" Marcel said, getting impatient. Brock and Terroriser looked at each other and Brock shrugged. "If I die it's your fault," Brock said to Marcel.

(Time skip)

"Okay, which cloud will we visit?" Terroriser asked sarcastically. He bent down and checked to see if his shoes were working. When he activates them, they spurt out a bit of fire and he can fly around. I don't really know how it works, but it looks cool so I don't care. Anyways, it was thankfully a sunny day but there was still some clouds in the sky. "Uhhhh, that one!" Brock responded. He pointed to a bigger one that wasn't too far away. "I got the jar," Brock checked his bag. "I got the inhaler." Terroriser held it up and checked make sure the medication was in it. "Good luck!" Lui said. And with that, they took off. Brock waved, we waved back. "Those fuckers better come back," I mumbled, glancing at Marcel. We watched them go up and up until they were just specs in the sky.

Then they were out of view completely a few moments later. If they don't come back, well let's just say that Marcel will learn what shadows can do.

Brock's P.O.V

"I can't believe you actually agreed to this," Terroriser told me almost as soon as we took off. "I can't believe it either." I lied. I knew exactly why I agreed to it. To spend more alone time with Terroriser, duh. I wasn't going to do it, but then Marcel added Terroriser into the mix and I just couldn't say no. Maybe I'll finally get the guts to tell him my feelings! ...and if he doesn't feel the same way then I can always throw myself out of the sky....

"We're getting close! The air is definitely thinner up here." Terroriser said. From my estimation, we were about 1000 feet. Everything was so much smaller from up here! I don't normally go up this high. I coughed, the air was certainly thinner. Terroriser looked at me with concern. "I'm fine, Brian. I can handle a bit of thin air!" I told him. We chuckled slightly, man is he cute! We were approaching the cloud. "This was surprisingly easy," Terroriser said. I had to increase my speed to keep up with him. "It isn't over yet!" I said.

We made it to the cloud. The air was pretty thin. Definitely 3000 feet now. I coughed again. Terroriser, fascinated by the cloud up close, didn't seem to notice this time. My breathing laboured and I coughed out Brian's name the best I could. I've had many asthma attacks, this ones bad! I felt my wings start to give out. No! I tried to beat my wings, if I fall I die! I felt myself going down. I started to cry. Brian turned around, I saw the panic and surprise explode across his face. He was at my side in a second.

Terroriser's P.O.V

"b...bri...an" A small, weak voice cried. I whirled around. Brock was clutching his throat, desperately trying to get the thin air into his lungs. His was going down, his wings starting to give out. I sped towards him and stopped him from falling. My heart was going so fast it felt like it was bursting out of my chest! I loved Brock, I really did. He can't die! I helped him use his inhaler and he took a big breath. He looked scared and clutched me. I didn't care. I stroked his hair absentmindedly.

He looked into my unique eyes, I looked into his. I wiped away his tears. There was a spark between us, I could feel it. He reached up, our noses inches apart. I closed the distance. Fireworks seemed to off as we kissed! I curled my hands around his back, his hands around my neck. We pulled away for air sooner then I liked but Brock needed air. We smiled and stared at each other for a few minutes.

"Worth it?" I asked. "Definitely!" He replied. "Now, how about we get a bottle of cloud and not mention this to anybody for awhile?" He asked. I laughed. "Sure!" I said as we flew into the cloud. It was cold and wet, which isn't surprising, but it still would've nice if it was like fluffy cotton. I always thought it'd be like fluffy cotton. Brock opened the bottle and through sheer determination and patience, we filled the bottle with water. We dropped the bottle twice, but each time Brock flew and got it before it hit the ground. "Oh! I just got an idea!" Brock suddenly exclaimed. "We should have a ship name!" He continued.

"A what now?" I asked. I vaguely knew what shipping was, so I assumed a ship name was part of it. Brock told me awhile ago he liked to ship things. We started to fly back to Evan's house as he explained. "A ship name! Most often ship names are a combination of couples or people you want to be a couple's names. Now that we are, dare I say it, romantically involved-" He winked and I laughed, "-we need one!" "Should it be a combination of Terroriser and Moo snuckel, or Brian and Brock?" I asked. I also remembered Brock telling me he was a hardcore Mark and Jack shipper, even before they were a couple. "Let's do both!" He said. "Hmmmmm, Briock? Broan?" I suggested. We laughed. (I can't believe I forgot Brick! *Bangs my head on the wall*)

"Okay, maybe it's a better to just combine our nicknames!" I said. "Mooriser?" Brock twisted his face in concentration. "No, ummm, oh! How about Terrornuckel?" I asked. "I like it! Let's go with that one!" Brock replied. "Okay, we have to go back now. The guys are probably worried sick. Race?" Brock asked. "Hell yeah!" I said. I love to race people! In unison, we said a countdown and then we sped off.

Marcel's P.O.V

...The guys are going to hang me...the guys are going to hang me...I'm going to be dead by tomorrow...Why the fuck did I do this... I thought, very literally! It had been almost an hour and a half since Brock and Brian left, and from our calculations, the entire trip would have taken 40 minutes tops! "Unless they're having sex in clouds then I don't know why they aren't back!" Delirious said at one point. Now I'm in one of Evan's huge trees so the guys don't pummel me into the ground.

"IF THEY AREN'T BACK IN 5 MINUTES YOU'RE DEAD MARCEL!" Evan shouted at me. "AND I'LL MAKE YOUR FAMILY PAY FOR THEIR FUNERALS!" He added. "DON'T BRING MY FAMILY INTO THIS, MOTHERFUCKER! I'LL PAY FOR IT MYSELF!" I shouted back. "HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT IF YOU'RE DEAD?!" Tyler shouted. "I DON'T KNOW! I'D FIGURE SOMETHING OUT!" I shouted back. I heard multiple people face-palm. I'm sure the poor neighbours must be so confused.

I had to dare Brock to touch to cloud?! I could've made him wear nothing but hot pink to school or something but no, I had to make him touch a cloud. Suddenly, I saw two specs in the distance. I thought they were birds at first, but they were going too fast. "Wait, is that them?" I mumbled to myself. It got closer. "Hey! GUYS! Is that them?" I shouted. I scrambled down the tree. "Where?" Nogla asked. I pointed to the things in the sky. We all looked at them until we were sure that it was Brock and Brian. "I'll fly up and see what took so fucking long," Evan said. He took off to meet them in the air.

Vanoss's P.O.V

"I'll fly up and see what took so fucking long," I said. I took off and in about 25-30 seconds I reached them. I waved my arms to slow 'em down. "Hey, Evan!" Brian said. They were soaking wet! I guess clouds are just water. "Why are you so happy?" I asked. They both looked very happy if I had to fly to a cloud because of a dare I wouldn't be so happy as them. "It was fun, that's all," Brock answered simply. I shrugged and asked what took them so long. "Brock had an incident," Brian said. I didn't need an explanation. "We got the water!" Brock held up the jar Marcel gave him, filled with water. 

"You actually pulled it off. Cool!" I exclaimed. "Now, we got to get back. You took awhile, and we almost slaughtered Marcel. He climbed a tree to get away. In fact, I left the guys unattended so Marcel in real danger......" We looked at each other and sped off.

(Time skip)

We landed in the backyard. "Oh thank god!" Marcel said. He was in a tree again, I guess the guys just couldn't wait. Or maybe they pretended to go to beat him up for a gag and he went into the tree again. He deserved it either way! "What the hell took so long?!" Wildcat asked. "Well, I had an incident and do you know how hard this was to fill?!" Brock held up the jar. "You actually did it. I'm surprised!" Delirious exclaimed. Suddenly Brian's eyes lit up and he smirked and whispered something to Brock. Brock stifled a laugh and called out to Marcel. "Come here!"

"Why?" Marcel asked. He eyed the rest of us nervously. "Because!" Brock said. He winked at us and we kept our mouths shut. I wonder what he's doing. Marcel didn't budge. "Oh come on, Marcel! We won't beat you!" I shouted. After a chorus of Yeah!s and Come down!s, Marcel sighed, turned into a monkey and scrambled down the tree. "What the fuck do you want?" He whined. Brock snickered and handed the jar to Brian. Without a word, Brian threw the jar at Marcel. It shattered a few feet away from him, and while the glass flew harmlessly away, the water splashed straight onto Marcel.

 "I..I can't...believe you did that!...OH MY FUCKING GOD!!" Marcel roared. 

We. Lost. It.

Me, Delirious, and Brock fell over. My ribs hurt! For one moment, all you could hear was our laughing! We drowned out every sound for miles!

Marcel on the other hand raged. "YOU ARE SO DEAD!" He bellowed. He ran after Brock and Brian, who were probably laughing the hardest. They struggled to run away. Eventually, they gave up and fell down to the ground. Marcel finally realised the absurdity of the situation and started to laugh too.

(Time skip)

"Still can't believe you did that, I mean I deserved it, but still!" Marcel mumbled. It's been a few hours since the jar incident, and we were just about ready to hit the hay. Marcel is still grumbling about it (even though he laughed about it when it happened). "You know, I was supposed to study for a test I have on Wednesday tomorrow, but it's 2 in the morning so fuck it I'll do it on Sunday," Mini said, falling dramatically on his inflatable mattress.

"Fuck it if I don't go to sleep in 3 minutes I'll die. Night guys!" Lui said. He turned around to face the other way and fell asleep. "Same here. Goodnight!" Nogla said, he fell asleep too. All the others soon went to bed too except Delirious, me, Brock and Mini. "Wait, Evan, why aren't you sleeping in your huge bed?" Del asked. "Uh...I don't know. The floor seemed more appealing tonight." I responded sarcastically.

 "You know, I wonder why I'm not tired. I'm going to bed anyway. Night!" Delirious said. He turned over, but you could tell he was still awake. ...He is so damn cute...wait..dammit I did it again!...do I seriously have a crush on Del?...I need to talk to somebody about this...but who?...the guys would never understand....would they?...hmm, maybe Brock and Brian, they don't seem to care but they got enough shit to worry about...we all do....

I tried to go to sleep, but those thoughts kept tormenting me. The others obviously thought I was asleep though since they turned off my desk light. I heard Delirious's cute little snore from next to me. ...I'm so confused...why Del? Out of all the people I know that I could've had a crush on it had to be Delirious!

I buried my head in my hands to muffle my frustration. Suddenly I heard someone get up and walk out the door. 15 seconds later someone else followed. My eyes had adjusted to the dark long ago, and I noticed it was Brock and Mini. I knew they probably just needed to use the bathroom, and god knows how many bathrooms my house has, but I was still curious. Fuck I'm weird.

...I'll give them 4 minutes then I'll investigate... I decided.

Mini's P.O.V

I tossed and turned silently. For some reason, I couldn't get to sleep. I originally thought that I was still subconsciously shaken up from Brock and Brian almost not returning, but I eliminated that explanation 5 minutes ago. ...Maybe I have to piss... I thought. I heard someone else get up before me. I noticed it was Brock, who was sleeping on the floor next to me. ...He probably needs to piss too...

I went after him, but I don't think he noticed. He went to a different bathroom than me, but oddly when he came out he went towards the elevators, not Evan's room. I was even more puzzled with he went to the roof. I went in the elevator after him. I was never on the roof before, and I was glad that it wasn't complicated to get to. All I had to do was get out of the elevator at the top, follow a hallway and climb a set of stairs. There was a part I wasn't counting on though at the end. When I was back in the hallway, I heard a door close, very quietly. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I stood face to face with a huge metal door. A warning on it said that if it opened without a key, an alarm would go off.

I realised that Brock must have had a copy of the key, and I didn't. I was about to turn back, but then I noticed a small opening at the bottom of the door. It was obvious that the door hadn't been taken care of in a while, so I guess it just formed. I knew I could shrink down to that size, easily.

...Fuck it... why not?...

I closed my eyes and felt myself getting smaller. I'd done this so many times that I could do it in my sleep. Literally. One time I woke up and I was the size of an ant. My dog nearly ate me that day. 

I opened my eyes and stopped shrinking. I looked around, everything always looked so cool when you're small! I walked towards the hole in the door, it looked HUGE now. I walked through, and a blast of cold air hit me. It nearly knocked me over since I was so tiny, so I quickly grew back to my normal size. Once I dusted myself off I noticed it was only a tiny breeze that I thought was heavy wind. Being tiny has its disadvantages too, I guess.

I looked around, the house had a huge roof! I noticed Brock sitting on a far ledge facing away from me. I don't think he's noticed I'm here. I walked over and put a hand on his shoulder saying "Hey, Moo." He jumped and made a weird noise, but when he saw who it was he relaxed. "What the hell are doing here? Trying to give me a heart attack?" He joked. I chuckled and sat down next to him.

"Anyways, how did you get up here? I don't think Vanoss has given you a key yet." He asked. "Remember how I can shrink?" I said. "Yeah, why?" "Well, I don't think the people who take care of the house go up here a lot. I noticed that there was a tiny hole in the bottom of the door, so I shrunk and now I'm here." I explained. Brock nodded, but I could tell he still had some questions. "Why exactly did you follow me in the first place?" "Well I needed to piss and after that, I noticed you got in the elevator and went to the roof so that obviously fanned the flame that is my curiousness."

"Okay then." Brock had a far away look in his eyes as looked towards the sky. "Hey, are you okay? You look like you have something on your mind." I asked. "Oh, it's nothing." He was quick to reply. I looked at his eyes as he gazed off again, it looked like he was fighting with himself or something. "You absolutely sure?" I asked again.

He sighed and looked at me. "Okay fine, it is something. Something big." He said. "You can talk to me," I said reassuringly. With the exception of Brian, I seemed to be the most comfortable with talking one on one with Brock.  What could it be?

"Vanoss probably mentioned that something happened to me in the clouds right? Probably that I had an asthma-related attack?" I vaguely remembered Vanoss saying something like that. I nodded so that he could continue. "Well, my asthma acted up at the worst time. Brian saved me. And one thing led to another and....." He tapered off. "And?" I prompted. ...Where is this going? Was Delirious right?... Brock blushed and looked away. "We kissed." He said simply.

I was at a lost for words. ...You what now?... After a few seconds my brain finally processed what he said, I squealed like a little girl who got a kitten AND a puppy for Christmas. "I'm so happy for you two!" I exclaimed. Brock looked surprised at my reaction and blushed even more, now it probably out of embarrassment instead of love for Brian. "I'm sorry but it's so cute!" Brock didn't say anything but smiled. You could see the relief in his eyes.

*Bang*

"What the f-fuck?" I said, nearly falling off the ledge. "The hell was that?! Hey! Is anybody here?!" Brock exclaimed. We strained to hear anything else, but only silence was there. "Must've been the wind." I said. Brock shrugged. "Anyway, you know, I've got something I need to get off my chest too," I continued, looking around to make sure we were really alone. The fact I still hadn't told anybody that I had a MAJOR crush on Tyler was eating me alive! "Since you just told a big secret it would be fair that I would tell one too!" I added.

Brock nodded. "Spill the beans!" He said, interested. "Well..." I started. It suddenly got really hard to talk. Brock made a gesture with his hands for me to continue. "I kinda have a...uh..a.," I said. "A what?" Brock made the same gesture, just more forcefully. "AhugecrushonTyler," I said very quickly. "What? Go slower." Brock said. "A huge crush on T-Tyler," I repeated.

Brock stared at me, a smile forming on his lips. "Tha-" "Well do I have good news for you. Tyler is as single as single can get! And congratulations Brock, I always knew there were feeling's between you and Brian." A voice said from behind us, cutting off Brock.

Vanoss's P.O.V

...4 minutes are up and they're not back... I thought. I got up quietly and left the room. ...Why am I doing this again?...

I checked the two bathrooms closest to my room but they were not there. I shrugged and started to walk back to my room, Then I saw a feather, right in front of the elevator door. I picked it up. Definitely Moo's. His wings had a specific pattern, a load of black lines and spots over a gradient of red and yellow. It looked quite cool actually. I know he's supposed to be an eagle hybrid, but I've never seen an eagle with feathers like this. I personally think they diagnosed him wrong.

(Yes, I made this in Pic-collage, fite me)

I've known for awhile that Brock likes to go to the roof for some reason, so maybe he's up there with Mini. I went in the elevator and hit the button to go to the roof. I hummed along to the familiar elevator music.

https://youtu.be/ESlh7GGzO6w

Eventually, I got to the top and I walked down the hallway, but I went a bit slower than normal so as to not make any noise. I turned around the last corner and went up the stairs, and then I stopped. In front of me, Mini was in the middle of shrinking. I realised he didn't have a key to open the door because I never gave him one. He finished and I had to squint to see him. I saw him disappear through an INCREDIBLY small hole in the door. I've gone through that door a thousand times but I've never noticed that hole before.

I waited a moment before going through the door after him. I looked around the roof, and I saw Mini walking towards Brock, who was sitting on a ledge. I had this weird talent of being completely silent, which means I'm extremely sneaky. I closed the door and stood in front of it. I listened to their conversation carefully, I wanted to know what they were talking about.

(A super small time skip)

"We kissed," Brock said. My hand flew up to my mouth to stop my squealing. ...I knew it!...I knew it I knew it I knew it!... I thought excitedly. Recently I noticed that Brock and Brian had been getting closer, lately, but at the time I didn't think it was anything. They kissed?! SO CUTE!

*Bang*

...Whoa!...The fuck was that?.... "The hell was that?! Hey! Is anybody here?!" Brock shouted. Immediately I took off into the air, trying to be silent as well as fast. I flew in a circle around the edge of the roof and looked down, I'd say I was 15 feet in the air at least. Brock and Mini looked everywhere for the source of the sound, everywhere but up. The listened for any noise, but I trained in my spare time to be silent while I flew. Easy, really. Well for me it was.  Of course, I didn't know why I did this, I suppose I thought it would come in handy one day. I guess it did. "Must've been the wind," Mini said eventually. I began to descend but had to go back up again because as Mini started talking again, he looked around. FINALLY, he stopped being suspicious and I could go back to stalking (I mean that is what I'm doing) on the ground instead of in the air. 

(A super small time skip)

"A huge crush on Tyler." He repeated. My eyes flew open and I had to stop myself from squealing again. A while back, Tyler told me a secret. He was gay! I need to tell them this! Wait, Tyler made me promise not to tell a single soul.........I'll just say he's single. Fuck it. Brock had just begun to say something, but I couldn't wait. "Well do I have good news for you. Tyler is as single as single can get! And congratulations Brock, I always knew there were feeling's between you and Brian."

Brock and Mini whirled around. "What the hell?! How long have you there?!" Mini asked, shocked. "Ever since you went through the hole in the door. I was right behind you when you went through." I explained. "Man, you are sneaky as hell!" Brock exclaimed. "You've been here the whole time? I would've thought I'd hear your breathing." Mini looked thoughtful as he said this.

"I was super quiet." "No, I know that, but I have fairly good hearing, better than most without the power of it." He shrugged. "You got talent Vanoss, maybe even a power you didn't realise you had." I thought back to all the people I've snuck up on purposely and accidentally. "That actually might be possible. I'll look into it."

Brock waved his hands to get our attention. "Uhhhh, How much did you hear exactly?" He asked. I look at him with my eyebrow up. "Uh, did you hear how I introduced myself? Everything. I heard everything, Brock." I saw a bit of fear in their eyes and I realised that they didn't know how I would react to this. Sure we all did spin the bottle, but when it comes down to it that doesn't matter. An old friend of mine one told me that his ex-best friend turned out to be homophobic, but nobody saw it coming because he always played spin the bottle with his group of guy friends. Turns out he only did it (he really, REALLY hated it, the homophobic bastard) because he wanted to be cool.

"Don't worry. I think it's cute! And I'm good at keeping secrets, I assure you." I smiled as I saw the fear retreat and Mini sighed, "Thank the Lord!" "So your cool with all of this?" Brock asked. "Yup! Oh and Mini, how long have you liked Wildcat?" I lightly poked Mini in the ribs with my elbow as I said this. "Well...ever since I met him." Mini smiled sheepishly while Brock and I laughed.

"Well, this was an eventful night," I said. I was about to say that we should go to bed, but then I remembered that I had a huge crush on Delirious. Maybe these guys could help me! "Wait, I have something I need help with before we go to bed," The guys looked at me expectantly. "I have a crush on Delirious. Help me it's eating me alive!" I fell onto the ledge that surrounded the roof. The guys stared at me for a bit but that's probably because that's the last thing they expected me to say.

"I've learned more information about my friends in a day then in the 6 years I've lived here," Brock exclaimed, sitting down next to me. "But, I gotta admit, I like knowing shit that other people don't" He extended his wings for no particular reason. "Anyway, Vanoss, I have an idea about how you can tell Delirious." Mini sat on the other side of me. "And that is?" I asked.

Jupiter's P.O.V

"And that is?" Vanoss asked. "Well, how about you two go on a sleepover together, and then 'accidentally' fall on top of him? The fall would push up his mask and you could kiss him. Easy as pie." Vanoss pondered the plan for a moment. "That's a great idea Mini! Thank you!" He stood up and gave a hug to Mini. Then he ran through the door and back downstairs, obviously excited. Brock and Mini laughed and followed him, chatting about how Mini could confess to Tyler. Once they were gone, I laughed. My brother doesn't have a clue! I jumped from the tree I climbed onto the roof.

"Vanoss sure does have a tall house," I mumbled, peering over the edge. I sat on the ledge and replayed the last moments over again in my head. I was taking my nightly walk and decided to go through the area where Vanoss lived because all those big ass houses have security cameras and no rapist/murderer is stupid enough to commit crimes here. I was walking by Vanoss's house when I saw Brock come out onto the roof, followed by Mini. I got curious so I turned into a red panda and climbed the tree, then I heard everything. At one point I got so surprised I accidentally clapped my hands and made a huge bang noise. Vanoss is WAY better at stalking people then me. Hell, I didn't even notice he was there until he shot up into the air and started circling.

I'm not used to stalking people, not at all! In fact, this is my first time. I'm not the creepy/stealthy type, it's not in my personality but, I mean, when I have the chance to learn some secrets about the most popular people in school (well, ones my brother hasn't already told me), I'm gonna take a risk and learn them. It's paid off! Vanoss likes Del?! I can't wait to see how this'll turn out! I kinda want to sneak into the house, but if they catch me all hell will break loose.

"Well then," I mumbled to myself,  "How the hell will I get out of here without being noticed?"

Hey! I did it! I fucking did it! Chapter seven is here! I'm so happy! I tried to make this one extra long and jam-packed, so I hope it's okay that it took me SO LONG to write it. Like, it's been 3 months? 4? I don't know. I kinda went on a mini hiatus because some shit happened and blah blah blah. Also, I was planing to write an Easter themed chapter....but that went out the window reeeeeeaaaaallllll quick. Maybe I'll write one next year. (Whether the book has ended by then or not.)

I think I wrote Jupiter well. I hope you like her, DjArtistWolf223!
