Audrianna's POV

Henry, Jasper, and I walked in Henry's house and saw Mr. and Mrs. Hart scrambling to hide their silverware.

"Hey, what about forks?" Mr. Hart asked

"Yes! Definitely hide the forks!" Mrs. Hart sound panicked "You can kill a person with a fork."

"Right!" Mr. Hart put a bunch of forks in a bin

"Uhh.. Mom? Dad?" Henry called out to them

"What, what is it, Henry!?"

"What, what, what- oh, hey Audrianna sweetie." Mrs. Hart smiled warmly at me and I returned the smile

"I.. I just wanna know what you guys are doin'." Henry said

"Well.. Y'know how Piper signed up for that weekend ski trip with a bunch of kids from her class?" Mrs. Hart asked

"Uh, yeah sure."

"That's why me and Henry are havin' a boys weekend together." Jasper chimed in

"Hey, can you not call us boys?" Henry asked

"But we are boys. Baaaad boys." Jasper smirked

"You're not even men." I teased

He sighed "Anyway, what's the problem with Piper's ski trip?"

"Well, y'know her friend.. That girl Narlee?" Mr. Hart asked

"Uh, yeah."

"Well, Narlee's mom called to tell us that the other kids all left on the ski trip without Piper." Mrs. Hart explained

"What?"

"Yikes."

"Why?"

"They didn't want her to go." Mr. Hart answered

"Well, what'd Piper say?" I asked

Mr. and Mrs. Hart stopped in their tracks "We haven't told her yet."

"We're trying to hide everything dangerous first." Mrs. Hart added

"When did we stop being boys?" Jasper blurted out, earning a glare from Henry

"Hey!" Mr. Hart beamed

"Yeah?" Mrs. Hart turned to him

"Let's make Henry tell her." Mr. Hart suggested

"Ooh, right!" Mrs. Hart exclaimed

"Uh, no, no, no, no.. There's no way I'm telling Piper." Henry objected

"Tell me what?" Piper asked, making us all jump

"Dear God she had ski poles.." Mr. Hart whispered

"Okay.. Why do you all look so freaked out?"

"Freaked out?"

"What, me?"

"No, everything's fine.."

"No, it's all good."

"No idea what you're.."

"I'm not freaked out-"

Mrs. Hart nudged me "You tell her, please.."

"What, me?" I looked at her in shock

"Do it." Henry pleaded

"Honey, I really think it's your place to tell Piper what happened with Narlee and not our daughter in la--" Mrs. Hart got cut off

"I'll get it!" Mr. Hart blurted out

"Did the doorbell ring?" Jasper asked

"I heard no doorbell." Henry agreed

"The doorbell did not ring." I stared at Mr. Hart

Mr. Hart opened the door and no one as at the other side "Oh, hey. Sure, I'd love to go to the ball game." He quickly left the house

"Coward!" Mrs. Hart yelled

"Mom?" Piper asked

"Hm?"

"What's up?"

Henry and I quickly took her ski poles out of her grip as she walked up to Mrs. Hart.

"Well honey.. Um, see.. Uhh.. Audrianna has something to tell you." she blurted out

"What!? She's not my sister!" I whisper-yelled

"You have anger issues, she has anger issues it's fine." Henry whispered to me

Piper's phone beeped "Uh, hang on." she pulled out her phone "I just got a video message from Narlee."

Mrs. Hart covered her mouth in horror.

"Ooh, yeah. You- you should watch that." Henry suggested

"Yeah.. I'm gonna." she played the video

"Piper, if you're watching this video, we're already gone." Narlee said

"Gone? Why?" Piper asked, turning to us

"You're probably wondering why. Well, it's 'cause of your bad temper. Y'know, it's like- everytime something doesn't go your way, you freak out and you yell and scream.. And it's just not fun to be around."

"She's not wrong." Jasper chimed in, earning a glare from everyone

"Anyway, we don't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just that we don't want you around." Narlee's expression quickly changed "Ski ya later!" the video ended

Piper looked shaken up really badly as she sat on a chair in sorrow.

"Piper? Are you okay, honey?" Mrs. Hart asked

"I just.. I didn't know that my friends don't like me." she cried out

I nudged Henry to go comfort her.

"Piper.." He walked up to her but Jasper quickly stopped him

"Careful! It could be a trick." he whispered

We all glared at him as Mrs. Hart pushed his arm away.

"Hey.." Henry and I sat down on the opposite sides of Piper

"I need to blow my nose.." Piper sniffled

"Okay.. Okay.." Henry called out to Jasper as he walked up to her

"Here you go.." I held out Jasper's shirt

"What no-" Jasper got cut off by Piper blowing her nose into his shirt

Jasper groaned in disgust as he ran to the sink and tried to wash his shirt.

"Now listen. Your friends, they like you." I reassured

"The only thing they don't like is when you get mad and you start yelling and having temper tantrums." Henry added

"They're right baby. People hate that.." Mrs. Hart chimed in

"Well what do I do?" Piper asked, she sounded hurt and broken "I can't help how I am when I get angry.."

"Yes you can.." Henry reassured "Look, one of my teachers made this kid in my class, Mitch Bilsky, go to JAM Class."

"Really?" I stared at him wide-eyed

I had a BAD history with JAM Class. The people there are horrible.

"Ooh, I love making jam!" Mrs. Hart blurted out

"Mom, please." Henry rolled his eyes

"See, JAM stands for Junior Anger Management." Henry explained

"They can help you learn to control your angry feelings." Henry added

"Really..?" Piper asked

"Yeah.." Henry nodded

"Hey, where's the switch for the light above the sink?" Jasper chimed in

"Jasper."

"Oh my God."

"Not now, okay?"

"Sweetie, you think you might want to go?" Mrs. Hart asked "To JAM Class?"

I was about to protest but decided against it. She's her mom, she makes the decisions. Who am I to stop her?

"I think I need to go." Piper said

We all heard a scream from Jasper "My shirt's stuck in the garbage disposal!"

"Flip the switch, flip the switch!" Henry yelled

We watched as Jasper frantically tried to flip the switch until his shirt got ripped off his body.

"Oh." Jasper turned to us in embarrassment

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

I walked out my room to see Charlotte, Kelly, and Jasper scooping out pumpkin guts and my dad being stretched by two.. Girls..

"When will I ever have a normal day?" I furrowed my eyebrows

The elevator beeped as Henry walked out the doors "Okay.. Girls pulling arms. Pumpkins being murdered."

"Why are you making them hack up pumpkins?" I walked up to my dad

"Isn't it obvious?" My dad asked

"No." Henry and I said at the same time

"I'm on PEP. P.E.P."

"PEP?" Henry asked

"Yeah, the Pumpkin Eating Plan. All I eat are pumpkins now. Pumpkin juice, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin patties, pumpkin pasta, pumpkin jerky, pumpkin-"

"Hey, look! Everybody!" Schwoz walked in with a suitcase "Come look what I made!"

"Uhh, what is that?" I asked

"I call it a 'breeze-eer'. You can use it of there are strong winds."

"Oh, is this about that tornado that's headed towards Swellview?" Kelly chimed in

"Yah! See, if the wind grabs you and lifts you off the ground, you can use these controls go turn yourself and navagoot."

"Navagoot?" I raised an eyebrow

"I think he means navigate." Charlotte corrected

"Navi-gæte." Schwoz said "Hey, who wants a breeze-eer?"

"I'm fine."

"Nah."

"No."

"Nobody. Nobody wants that."

Schwoz picked up his backpack and started mumbling something in a different language.

"Hey, Henry. Did Piper start Junior Anger Management?" Kelly asked

"Uh, yeah. Me and my dad dropped her off there this morning."

"Ha!" My dad scoffed

"What?" Henry asked

"Ha! as in 'ha!'. JAM Class is stupid."

"No it's not." Henry objected

"JAM Class helps a lotta angry kids." Charlotte said

"Well it's not gonna help Piper." Jasper said

"Why not?"

"Because she's an animal!"

"Yeah, and besides, people never change. That's why they say 'angry at five, angry at fifty'. And uh 'once a freak, always a freak.' JAM Class didn't help Dria at all."

"You went to JAM Class?" Henry turned to me

"Unfortunately."

"Yeahh, Dria was a wild kid. Tell 'em what you did when you were five." My dad demanded

I smirked at the memory "Once when I was a kid I threatened to murder Schwoz with a shotgun because he wouldn't buy me a cat."

...

My dad sighed "And when she was seven, I signed her up for JAM Classes. The next day, I heard from a teacher that she shoved one of her classmates into a closet."

"Okay, in my defence; Brayden was a huge, narcissistic fuckwad."

"Language."

"Alright, alright." Henry chimed in "Anyway, I was at Piper's JAM Class this morning and I bet it does work."

"Well, I tell ya what." my dad stood up "Let go of me." the two girls grabbing his arms immediately let him go

"I bet you that the day your sister is done with JAM Class.. I can get her to lose her temper.." he snapped his fingers "That very same day." my dad challenged him

"Nah, I doubt it." Henry snapped his fingers, mocking my dad "'Cause they have these cool aroma collars that let out a special--"

"Blobbity, blobbity 'roma collar." my dad mocked him

I groaned "I hate those aroma collars."

"Alright, it's a bet!"

"Yeah, it's a bet." my dad stared at him

"Then we're with team Henry." Kelly held up Charlotte's hand and she nodded

"Well, Dria and I are on team Ray." Jasper wrapped his arm around my dad

"Take it away." my dad demanded as Jasper quickly took off his arm around my dad

"Oh, come on, Dri. You're seriously on his side?"

"I'm sorry but JAM Class is a filthy lie."

He stuck out his tongue at me and I did the same in response.

Henry scoffed "So what's the bet?"

"The bet is.. When I get Piper to lose her temper.. You, Kelly, and Charlotte gotta eat a big ol' bucket o' raw pumpkin guts." my dad held out a handful of pumpkin guts and wiped his hand on Jasper's shirt

"So, when you fail to make Piper lose her temper, you, Dri, and Jasper have to eat a big ol' bucket o' pumpkin guts."

"Yeah! While wearing swimsuits!" Jasper got up

"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows

"I was just saying we should wear swimsuits when we're--"

"Just.. Just be quiet.." my dad instructed before pushing him back down to his seat

"So we got a bet?" my dad asked, holding out his hair

"We got a bet." Henry shook his hand

"So just to confirm.." Jasper got up "No swimsuits?"

"Why- why are you-"

"Stop talking."

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Henry, my dad, Charlotte, Jasper, Kelly, and I went inside Henry's house.

"Mom." he called out "Hey." he greeted

"Hi, Mrs. Hart."

"Hello, Mrs. Hart."

"Hii. I didn't know you were bringing your girlfriend and friends to dinner." she smiled widely at us

"Uh, well I--"

"Friends, girlfriend.. And his boss, from Junk N' Stuff." My dad cut him off

"Mom, you remember Ray."

"Oh sure, we've met a dozen times." she held out her hand to him

"Ah. Fourteen." he shook her hand

Mrs. Hart gasped "Really?"

"Hey, can I uh.. Go up to your room for a sec?" Jasper asked

"Why?" Henry asked

"You'll see." Jasper headed up to the staircase "You'll see.." he whispered

Mrs. Hart's phone beeped "Oh. It's Piper, she and your dad will be here any minute. I better go butter the lobster balls." she smiled

"Lobster balls?" Charlotte asked

"Hey." Henry called out "Okay, before Piper gets here, let's go over the bet."

"Okay. When Piper gets mad and loses her temper, my dad, Jasper, and I win. And you three gotta eat a big ol' nasty bucket o' pumpkin guts." I remarked

"Or.. When Piper doesn't get mad and lose her temper, Henry, Kelly, and I win." Charlotte chimed in

"Yeah. And then you losers gotta eat a big ol' nasty bucket o' pumpkin guts." Henry added

"Such a child." I spat out

"Uhhh. Guys?" We all turned to Kelly and saw her pointing at Jasper who was wearing shorts and a crop-top.

"Well.. Hello everyone." Jasper said with a smirk

"Dude, we told you; The swimsuit is not part of the bet." Henry clarified

"Oh. I know. I'm just uh, showin' off my new one. Eh? Eh?" Jasper wiggled his hips

"Uh-uh. Uh-uh." Kelly shook her head

"I- I think it's beautiful.. Jasper." I said in between giggles

The door opened and Piper and Mr. Hart came in "And look who's back, it's me and Piper!" he beamed

"Dad, please don't make a big deal." Piper rolled her eyes

"Hi baby." Mrs. Hart greeted "Guess what we're having for dinner tonight. Lobster balls and fofu."

"Seriously!?" Piper beamed with excitement as she ran up to her mother

"Yeah!"

"Wait, what is fofu?" I asked

"Well, it tastes just like tofu." Mrs. Hart began

"But it's made with meat." Piper added

"Ohh, alright."

"Ahh, that sounds pretty good."

"Okayy."

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

"Ray.. Would you like to try a lobster ball?" Mrs. Hart offered as I stood next to Henry by the counter

"Would I like to? Oh yeah. But I'm on a strict PEP diet, so.."

"Oh, you mean the Pumpkin Eating Plan?" she asked

"Yep."

"I like corn." Mr. Hart chimed in

"Mmm. This fofu really does taste like meat." Henry said

"Your mom's cooking is really good." I nodded

"Yeah. But not the good meat." Kelly shook her head

The doorbell rang.

"Hmm. Doorbell." Mr. Hart looked over at the door "I guess someone's at the door."

Henry went to go get the door and once he opened it there was a man standing outside with a.. Pony?

"Uh, hi."

"Hello." The man greeted

Henry turned to us "Did someone order a pony?"

"A pony!?" Piper exclaimed and ran to the door

"Woww.. I wonder why there's a pony here." My dad stood up

I walked up to my dad "What did you do? This wasn't part of the plan." I whispered

"We decided not to tell you because we figured you'd go against it." Jasper whispered back to me

"Uh, it says here..'This beautiful pony is a present for Piper Hart.'."

Piper squealed in excitement.

"A present for Piper? Gosh, Piper. You must be so excited and happy." My dad said, sarcasm dripping in his voice

"I am!" Piper beamed

"Okay little girl, here's your-- Wait. How old are you?" the man asked

"I'm eleven."

"Ooooo.." the man stepped back

"Oooo.." Jasper and my dad repeated

"Yeah, sorry kid. Ya gotta be atleast thirteen to get a free pony." The man said as he walked away with the pony

"But- what?" Piper sounded confused and hurt "That.. That jerk just took my pony away!" Piper yelled

"Uh-oh, I think somebody's about to get angry.." Jasper teased

"Yeah, I'm about to get angry! I've wanted a pony since I was three years old!! Do you understand what it's like to have.." Piper calmed down when Henry squeezed her bulb and some aroma sprayed out of her collar.

"That's a nice lookin' swim suit." she turned to Jasper

"It is?" Jasper asked

"It is?" I repeated, furrowing my eyebrows

"Oh yeah. It makes me happy." she walked past Jasper "I'm gonna have some more fofu."

Jasper, my dad, and I stared at Kelly, Charlotte, and Henry who were smirking victoriously at us.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

My dad turned to Jasper and I and flicked his nose.

Jasper and I flicked our noses in response before he walked up to Kelly, Charlotte, and Henry.

"Ooh! Henry, Charlotte, Kelly, I gotta show you guys somethin' really cool! Come on!"

The group followed Jasper up Henry's room.

Once they were gone, my dad stood up from his chair "Uh.. So.. Dria and I have to go get something from my car.. Outside.. Okay." my dad and I ran outside the door

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Henry walked out the porch "Ray, Dri!"

My dad and I blew our bubbles, transforming into our superhero uniforms.

"Oh, hey Henry." I smiled cheekily at him

"What are you guys up to?" his eyes narrowed

"Nothin', we're just--" Captain Man got cut off by his phone ringing "Schwoz." he put the phone against his ear "Hey Schwoz, you get my pumpkins?"

"RAY!! HELP ME!! I'M ALOFT!"

"Uh, look. We gotta go make a little girl mad." he reasoned

"BUT I NEED A PLACE TO LAND! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

"Uh, we're at Henry's house and we gotta go." he hung up the phone

Captain Man and I were about to walk in the door but Henry stopped us "What are you gonna do?"

"We're gonna go win a bet so that you, Kelly, and Charlotte have to eat pumpkin guts." I smiled cheekily

"Dri." he said in a warning tone

Captain Man chuckled "Step aside, kid." he pushed him aside as we walking in the door

"Hello everyone!" I greeted "It's us, Captain Man and Danger Girl."

"Captain Man and Danger Girl!" Piper ran up to us

"Ah, jeez." I heard Charlotte sigh

"Wow. Captain Man and Danger Girl. What are you doing here, when there's nothing for you to do and you probably should be leaving maybe?" Henry said sarcastically

"Yeah, why'd you come here?" Piper asked

"Yeah."

"Well, you're the president of my fan club, aren't ya?" Captain Man asked "The Man Fans?"

"Yeah, I am!" Piper beamed

His expression changed "Or maybe not."

"Wha- what do you mean?"

I sucked in my teeth "Uh, I'm sorry.. But to be president of the Man Fans, you have to be atleast four foot, ten inches tall." I said in an apologetic tone.

"She is!" Mr. Hart chimed in

"Yeah, I am 4'10."

"Ha!" Henry chuckled, making me glare at him "Oh, uh.. Sorry, I coughed." he fake coughed

"Uh, uhh.. Yeah, you-you know what? Actually pfft. What Danger Girl was meant to say was, uh, you can't be president of the Man Fans if you're 4'10. Which apparently you are, so.. Sorry." Captain Man corrected

"What!?" Piper asked

"That is so dumb." Mrs. Hart put her hands on her waist

"Hey, we don't make the rules." I raised my hands in defence

"Well who does?" Mr. Hart asked

"A person." Captain Man answered

"This is insane!" Piper yelled

"Piper, remember your bulb- s-squeeze your bulb, squeeze your bulb-" Henry reminded her

"No! I got elected the president of the Man Fans fair and square!" she yelled

"Yeah, but that was probably back when you were 4'9, so.." I sat down on the couch

"Uh, here. Let me squeeze your bulb for you." Kelly offered

"NO!" She stepped away from her "EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM ME AND MY BULB!!"

Everybody stepped back from her in fear while My dad, Jasper, and I glanced at each other, smirking.

"Okay, I am really mad. But! I'm not gonna lose my temper, because I've learned that if I do lose my temper, that--" Piper got cut off by Schwoz falling from the ceiling, landing on Piper

Schwoz and Piper both got up slowly.

"Do I smell lobster balls?" Schwoz looked around and headed to the kitchen

"Who is this man!?" Mrs. Hart asked

"Ooh! Piper's collar broke and fell off!" Mr. Hart pointed out

"P-Piper, c'mon now.." Henry slowly approached her "There's no reason to lose your temper or anything. It's- it's all good.."

"No reason!?" she walked to the door "I HAD A PONY THAT WAS REPOSSESSED!" she started pacing around the doorway

"I GOT FIRED FROM THE MAN FANS BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT! AND THEN SOME INSANE MAN JUST FELL THROUGH OUR ROOF AND IS EATING ALL OUR LOBSTER BALLS!!!" she stormed off to her room

"But- but- y-you like Jasper's new swimsuit!" Charlotte pointed out

"Yeah. Remember? You said his new swimsuit makes you happy!" Henry added

"Well I changed my mind!" Piper walked up to Jasper

"Whoa, whoa, wait, what- what are you--" Jasper got cut off by Piper ripping his pants off which landed on Kelly's face as she threw it to Mr. Hart who threw it to Schwoz.

"Ahhhh! The lobster balls!" he groaned

"I AM NOT OKAY!!" Piper stormed off upstairs

"Ehhhhh.. I'm okay." Captain Man and I smirked

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

I walked outside my room to see Henry, Kelly, and Charlotte eating pumpkin guts.

I giggled to myself "You're doing great, honey." I kissed Henry's cheek

I took the elevator up to Junk N' Stuff and started heading to Henry's house.

After Mr. and Mrs. Hart let me in, I headed straight to Piper's room and knocked on her door.

"Piper.. Sweetie?" I knocked on her door again

"Go away!"

"It's Dria. Can you let me in?"

Piper quickly opened the door at the mention of my name "What?"

"Oh sweetie, don't cry. Come on." I led her inside her room

"Kid, do me a favour; Don't tell you brother about this." I sat on her bed

"Why?"

"Because.. We're having a girls' night. We don't need the boys to know about this."

"A girls' night?"

"Yeah. After the whole repossessed pony and getting fired from the Man Fans thing, I wanted to cheer you up."

"But.. Why would you out of all people want to cheer me up?" She sat next to me on her bed

"Because.. Well.. If ever Henry and I get married.. Then we'd be family. And well, you're like the little sister I never had."

"You really think so?" She looked at me with hope

"Mhm.." There was a short pause "Now how about we watch Mean Girls while eating ice cream?"

"That sounds perfect!"
