Katie'd gone home from the beach after everyone else and went home....She realy just wanted to not go home but she knew that she had to talk to her dad. She was prety nervous and she knew that Branden could tell that too because she was a bit fidgity when she was leaving...almost hitting a stop sign on her way out but she didnt...When she'd gotten home her mom and dad were looking through more brochures for buildings for sale. She'd come in and talked to him ....it didnt go over too well...And he seemed surprised when she fought back verbally which started to get physical before her mother broke it up. There was some more verbalness(lol) before Katie left for a while going out to a coffe house for about an hour sitting and drinking a coffe...She'd gotten the cotton candy before talking to her dad so she had all that in her car
She'd driven to Brandens house next looking mabey a bit stressed but she realy wanted to go see him and she wanted to get her mind off things anyways. The last thing that she'd heard was that he didnt care what she did anyways so she took that as an ok and left. now she pulled up in the vette parking it and getting out. She was surprised when she wasnt greeted by a running dog and made her way up to thhe house knocking on the door cotton candy in hand

Branden had been trying to watch some television while waiting for Katie to show up but it just wasn't working. Since a few hours ago he'd received a call from Anthony that was really bothering him. They'd talked for a little bit about things and Anthony hadn't sounded too good. He'd almost sounded sick but he hadn't been sick when they had been at the beach. Anthony had admitted that he was highly stressed out though so he just figured that wasn't feeling good because of the high level of stress that he seemed to be under all of a sudden. Although he did know the cause of that stress, his mother. Since according to Anthony he'd had to sit through a huge lecture about why he needed to answer his cell phone right away and things like that. He could never imagine being told that stuff since he thought that everybody knew that sometimes people didn't have their phones on them. It only made him want to go and get him sooner but he knew that wasn't possible. Since Anthony had told them that his mother wouldn't go to sleep before eleven. But it was close enough to that time so they'd probably have time to walk over there and not be caught by his mother "kidnapping" Anthony. If he was really coming down with something then he'd let him sleep up in his room or something. Even though that he knew that Anthony didn't like to be alone he'd get a lot more sleep if he was on a bed.
When he heard the doorbell ring he knew that it had to be Katie. Since Sean was curled up on the couch fast asleep. Apparently Anthony and him had the same idea about taking a nap in order to stay up later. Although Sean wasn't sleep deprived, he'd just been that tired that he'd came over and said two words to him before he decided that the couch was a good place for a nap. He made his way over to the door and quickly opened it and smiled when he saw that it really was Katie. "Hey, if you want to go right away then we'll have to wake Sean up. He's taking a nap on the couch right now. That's where Toby is since he decided that he was going to sleep next to him." He said and then looked over to where Sean was, he was still fast asleep. But he had been sleeping for awhile so he'd be back to his normal, energetic self once he woke up.

Katie wa still deep in thought about the whole parents thing. She normally didnt fight with her dad so the fact that they werent speaing was almost a bit of a shocker to her. She wasnt srue that she realy liked it either. She'd been driving all over the place on the way here, probably why she's gone through so many cars. When katies mind was on somthing it normally didnt leave that. she was a very focused...or unfocused...look at it however you want. person.
Coming up to the door she smiled when he answered coming inside seing sean on the couch...She lifted two big bags of cotton candy and grinned sounds good to me she told him grinning. She opened one of the bags though puttingher finger to her mouth grining and motioning him to follow her tearing apart a piece of the fluffy candy she licked it and stuck it to seans nose smirking and kneeling by the arm of the couch ohhhhh seanyyyyyyyyyyyyy she said grinning and giving toby a belly rub in the process. She'd been at the devereaux house before hanging out with branden but she always looked forward to coming eing able to spend time with him...or play jokes on sean.

Who the heck was saying his name? And why did they have to wake him up from his nap? He slowly opened his eyes and as he reached up to rub them his hand brushed up against something. His first thought was that for whatever reason it was sawdust. But, there was no sawdust around Branden's house. he cautiously reached up and pulled part of the foreign substance off of his nose. And it was then that he realized that it was just cotton candy. Which could only mean one thing, Katie was here. He slowly sat up and then looked over to find Katie. "Ok, that was very amusing. But I hope you know that I now have a reason to plot my revenge on you. And it might not be tonight, I could be some other night when you're not expecting it." He said and then looked at the clock on the living room wall. It was late and he knew that now would be the time to do the kidnapping since everybody should be asleep at Anthony's home. He hoped that Anthony had woken up though otherwise whoever was boosted up and through his window would have to get him up. "If you guys want to get Anthony over here, we can do it now. I just need a screwdriver which was on the coffee table if Toby didn't take it on me." He said and then looked and noticed that it was still there. That was a good thing because he knew that Toby sometimes took things off of the coffee table and hid them under Branden's bed or somewhere else.
After Sean woke up Branden tried to think of something that he should tell Katie. There was only two things that Katie really needed to know. And on thing was that she was probably going to be the one who had to crawl through the window. "I'm sorry Katie, but you're probably going to be the one to go through the window if Anthony's not up. But don't worry I'll help you up there and not Sean because he almost dropped me the last time." He said and then looked over to where Sean was, it amazed him that he'd been able to pick him up for about five seconds so he could try and get into the window. After that hadn't worked they'd simply gotten a ladder that had been propped up against the garage. But it had been moved back inside of the garage now. And "luckily" for them Anthony's window was just high enough off of the ground so that you couldn't stand there and get through it. "So, let's get going then." He said and then made his way over to the door and out of it. He knew that Katie and Sean would follow him, he really didn't care if Toby followed along with them.

katie just smirked eating a bit of the candy then tying the bag and putting it on the table try me...... im good ya know she said grinning.Being here with the guys, being able to see branden.... made her be in a good mood today. She went over to Branden after putting her stuff down and grinned kissing his cheek lightly and laughing well as long as YOU dont drop me its fine with me she said smirking. She thought that the idea of sean lifting branden up to anthonys room was quite amusing. Though she was apparently much smaller and lighter so she knew it probably wouldnt be a problem.
She had her arms wrapped around branden still but gave toby a skeptical look" dont be eatin' my cotton candy now" she told him a smirk growing on her face again though. She let branden go an dfollowed him out the door making a face at sean teasingly befor going out with branden....... She knew that it was getting late and everyone'd probably be asleep ...she hoped that veryone would be asleep at her house at least....she washt thrilled about the idea of going home to an argument with her parents not at the time she'd get home at least...They were pretty quiet seeming though until they'd gotten to Anthonys..She'd never been there before but she knew the area it was in at least...She wasnt srue where his room was though either though she was guessing from what they'd said that it was on the second floor....

Branden looked around the area for a moment, the streetlights were on so there was no need for a flashlight. And there was nothing to run into in Anthony's backyard. Since all there basically was in it was an old doghouse sitting in the back left corner and his mother's flowerbed. Which he would have to remind Sean not to leave any tracks in this time. Since the last time the wind had just blown them away and if they left tracks this time then his mother would know that something was up. "Ok, now that everybody is here then we might as well got going. Oh and remember Sean, don't leave tracks in the flowerbed or leave any evidence that we were there." He said and then looked over at Sean and gave him a serious look for a moment before he laughed quietly. Since he'd just thought of the odds of Anthony's mother going into the backyard tomorrow and he thought the odds were rare. She'd probably be packed and gone by five in the morning. He then began to make his way down the street. Anthony's home wasn't too far from here it was just a little way down the street. And by the way they were coming they could sneak around the back of the house without tripping the motion light. He continued to walk ahead of Sean and Katie before he made his way around the back of Anthony's home about ten minutes later. He hadn't thought it was that long of walk but apparently he hadn't been walking at his normal speed or something.
"Fine, then maybe I'll just make you do all of the technical stuff." Sean said and then watched as Branden began to lead the way toward Anthony's home. It didn't matter to him, since this way he could tell her something that Branden had left out for one reason or another. Sure it wasn't that serious but he figured that Katie might want to know it. "Branden said that Anthony called him awhile ago and that he didn't sound too good. He thinks that he got himself so stressed out because of his mother that he ended up getting sick. If that's the case then he'll probably feel better once he's out of the house. I think he must have been going to tell you that when we got there." He said quietly and then looked around at all of the houses. They all looked so different at night and most of the lights were out in the homes. He followed Branden around the back of the home and then looked up at Anthony's window. It was open and he had left the screen up. It meant that he didn't have to do any work and that Branden could just hoist Katie up.

katie snickered looking back at sean sticking her tongue out and pretending to act all stuck up and prissy for the moment " yeah sean dont leave tracks in the flower bed" she said teasingly tagging along behind branden. Katie raealy hadnt done much to stay out late this summer. She'd put all her time and effort into working on her cheerleading and hopefully even working her way up the ladder there. But she knew she should probably work on her social skills and working her way up that ladder. But heck lets face it, knowing katie she was just one of those people who didnt have a bone in her body that could show a snobbish grin to anyone around her.
She rolled ehr eyes at him and kept on walking when they got there she looked up at the window smirk on her face at first she thought she could just climb the bush mabey and that would even be tall eneough to let her reach the gutter of the roof, but taking a second look at it...branden...mabey sean, could do that....but she'd be a few few few inches too short.....She nodded that makes two of us then she mumbled looking up at the window alrighty branden boost me up to the window...your sure this is the right one? i could just see like seing his mom stand at the window, i thik id scream she said laughing

"I'm positive this is the right window. Besides, his parents room is all the way on the other side of the house. Not to mention, I don't think his parents would leave the window open with the screen up. I think he's still asleep though because the light is off." He said and then looked up at the window for a moment. Right next to his bedroom window there was another window that was covered in dust. Apparently Anthony hadn't cleaned the dust off of it lately. Either that or his mom had switched locks on him and he didn't want to pick his way into the bedroom. "Ok Katie, on three. One..two..three." He said and then quickly picked Katie up and held her up to the window. She'd be able to easily climb through it now but she would have to jump out of it on he way back down. But he'd catch her, since there was no way that he was going to drop her.
Sean watched as Branden lifted Katie up to the window. At least he didn't have to try and get the screen off. Since he hated doing that because it was a lot easier to do from the inside and he'd almost broken the screen the last time he'd had to get it off. He'd been really frustrated at it because it was covered in ice that he'd had to get off. Not to mention on the way there he'd ended up slipping on a patch of ice and falling down. It always seemed as if he was the one who was falling down, through things and into things. Then again, he was a lot clumsier then Branden was. Not to mention Branden watched where he was going and he really didn't. Sometimes he'd get to thinking about things and he'd almost run into things too. He would never forget the time that Branden had to suddenly pull him to his left so that he didn't run into a swing set while the two were jogging through the park. "Don't worry Katie, the only person who might be awake is his dad and he wouldn't mind if you kidnapped Anthony since he's on his side with things." He said as he took a few steps back so the he wasn't anywhere near the flower bed. He didn't want to even make a leaf fall from one of the plants.
Anthony was in fact, asleep but he'd been awake fifteen minutes before. He hadn't really meant to fall asleep but he didn't feel too well and he was hoping that he would wake up before everybody arrived. He had curled up on his bed and fallen asleep while still holding the photo album he'd been looking though. It was open and one hand was clutching it tightly. When his mother had been on her "get rid of all the photos of Mike" hunt he'd hidden the album underneath his bed before he'd called his dad up and told him what was going on. In the end, no pictures had been lost but it was too close of call for him. Now the album stayed either in his closet or shoved under his bed. He wanted to protect the images that his mother had wanted to destroy.

katie grinned. It wasnt thhat she didnt trust him she was jsut messing with him. She trusted him plenty.Though she could recall living back in maine a few years back...They lived there for about nine months and in that time she'd made some friends. She'd gone out one night to egg a house and they'd obviusly gottn the wrong house by the cop car in the driveway.....It turned out that they'd egged a cops house and what do you know......he came out...they Ran off and they made it out uncaught, but that was eneough to give katie the shakes. She was still at that time in her " be like dad" phase and wanted to be a lawyer just like him....But as time went on that dream left though at the time she wanted nothing to even do with anything that would ruin or toughen her chances at being a lawyer, she was a " goody goody" girl though she'd never had admit it....She probably still was now and didnt know it but that was a whole nother issue.
She Let him boost her up and caught the gutter on the roof and went right on up getting her balance first before letting her weight do the work for her standing on the roof. She somewhat quietly made her way over to the open window and within a minute she had dissapeared inside of it. She Had to let her eyesadjust for a momment first though. After being able to see she made her way over to the bed.....Seing that he was still asleep and curled up
She noticed that he had something in his hands and slowly took mabey pried it out of his hands. She looked over it and knew right away what it was. She was sure that he probably wouldnt want her looking through all of it. She closed the book and set it to the side on his bedside table and going over. She leaned over the bed and shook his shoulder lightly. She only did it lightly though she knew he probably wasnt one of these people but there were some people like her grandfather that would wake up if awoken by someone but would only like half awake and would become violent or odd....She realy didnt think That Anthony was like taht but who knows....... She shook his shoulders one more time and headed over to the window sitting on the window sill......

Anthony slowly started to wake up at first he wondered where he was before he realized that he was in his room. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes before he noticed Katie sitting on the window sill. Stood up and stretched before he tried to think of things that needed to be done before he could leave. "I just have to remember where I left my shoes and then things should be good here." He said and then noticed the photo album sitting on his bedside table he picked it up and then slid it under his bed. "Just in case she decides to try and get rid of stuff if she notices I'm gone." He said and he knew that Katie would know who "she" was, his mother. He really didn't know why he had said that instead of mom but maybe it was because of all of the stuff that had happened once he'd came home. Perhaps it was because she really didn't act like a mother anymore. After all, a mother wouldn't give out a huge list of things that needed to be done while she was gone right? He knew that with some of the stuff he'd probably need Sean's help because honestly, did she really think he could fix one of the basement steps by himself? Not to mention, he didn't know how to anyway. He quickly put his shoes on and then noticed the sweatshirt that was laying on the end of his bed. He picked it up and put it on, it was the only way he'd remember to give it back to Branden. Even though he'd told him to keep it because it had shrunk in the wash.
Branden shifted uneasily when Anthony and Katie didn't appear at the window right away. At first he thought that something had happened to them. Maybe his mother had entered the room for some reason. No, that couldn't be right Katie would have screamed right? He began to relax when Katie appeared at the window but he still was feeling a little uneasy. He just wanted to get out of here and get back to his house.
((Shot but I've got a headache and and going to go eat something.))

Katie watched him get up She looked out at branden a moment a grin on her face.......She knew she'd have to give Anthony a moment since hed just woken up...and if he was like half the guys that she knew he'd need not just a minute to find all his stuff, but some time to just get her mind to normal also...... She nodded its fine we've got time anthony She told him. Her eyes wandered to where he'd put the photo-album......She wondered why he had it out mabey just to look at it, that would be the probably obvious answer...but still why would he have fallen asleep on it. She didnt know mabey it was wierd to her because she was just one of those people who couldnt sleep when they were doing something or reading. Their mind was usually focused on that one thing and that was usually how it was for her. But she began to understand at least why he'd hid it. His mom...That was understandible eneough....... She watched him get his stuff and still just sat at the windowsill looking around for now. The night wasnt that chilly but she knew it was getting there...... So that was fine with her........
She waited for him to come to the window and climbed out. She slowly began makiner her way down the slanted roof slipping once she cought herself helping herslef up again and over towards the edge alright comin' down Branden she told him sitting on the edge and turning holding the gutter and letting herself lower or rather take a big jump towards ground. (not great either but im goin to bed, lol angie yours comes tom sorry guys im so beat i cant tell ya)

Anthony watched as Katie made her way out of the window once he was sure that she was all the way out and making her way down the roof he got out and shut the window and put the screen back before he slowly made his way down toward the edge of the roof. He didn't really like the idea of slowly making his way toward the ground because he was still tired and he knew that there was a good chance that he'd end up falling. That only left one option, and that was to jump from here and have Sean or Branden catch him. He'd done it before but there always was the fear that for one reason or another they would miss him by a small amount and he'd hit the ground and break his arm again. The first time he had broken it he'd fallen out of a tree though. "Sean, you promised me that you'd catch me if something like this ever happened again. Well, here's your chance to prove that to me. I don't really like doing this but let's face it, Katie is lighter then me and if I tried what she's doing it probably wouldn't work." He said and then jumped and felt himself sailing through the air and landing in Sean's arms. He let out a sigh of relief before grinning slightly. At least Sean had caught him and he hadn't dropped him after catching him.
Sean watched as Katie, and then Anthony came out of the house. He watched what Katie was doing and he knew that Anthony would probably go with the second option. So, he wasn't too surprised when he jumped from the roof. He took a few steps forward and then quickly caught Anthony. But after catching him he still held onto him for some reason maybe it was because Anthony looked like he could fall asleep in his arms. He was a lot lighter then what he'd expected him to be but he knew that there was no way he'd be able to carry him all the way back to Branden's. He then looked up to where Katie was. "You know Katie, Branden would catch you if you decided to jump too." He said and then watched as Anthony's eyes closed for a moment before he quickly opened them again. "I would catch you but somebody is kind of falling asleep on me." He said before looking up to where Katie was.

She watched Anthony just jump down and her brow rose no im perfectly capable she remarked making her way down a little....slower, and less graceful, but none the less "HER" way. You see, once katie started something she didnt stop or go around and try another way no matter how emberrasing, painful, or stupid something was thats just how it was....probably another one of those italian streaks that she had in her blood but thats just katie. She looked over watching Anthony just about dead asleep in seans arms if you hold him all the way home then youve realy gotten ripped over the summer she teased and grinned. besides he can catch me anytime he wants to thats no news she teased and winked kissing brandens cheek as she dusted her jeans off beginning to walk back up to the sidewalk. It wasnt a far walk home but she knew athat if Sean ended up carrying anthony....it would end up beng a long walk. Besides she knew everyone would be-a-hoppin when they got ahold of her cotton candy, her heaven in a bag in other words, but katie had quirks and little turnoffs and ons like that. She was different but she'd found a way to make it realy work for her to where she was just .....Katie....(realy short i know, sorry ..... )

Sean looked down at Anthony and noticed that he had fallen back asleep. And he looked so relaxed that he didn't want to wake him up right now. But he knew that he'd have to because he probably couldn't carry him all the way back to Branden's. Sure he could give him to Branden once he wasn't able to carry him anymore. But that probably would wake Anthony up, maybe it wouldn't he didn't know. "It appears as if somebody still likes to fall asleep on people." Sean said and smiled slightly, he didn't mind that Anthony ended up falling asleep while being carried once again. Now if Branden had fallen asleep on him then it would probably be another story. He then looked over to Katie as he thought about how he should answer her comment. "Trust me, I can't carry him all the way back there. He's a little too heavy for that but I have been working ninety five percent of the time so I probably could carry you." He said and then began to follow Katie back around the home.
Branden watched as Katie and Sean began to leave and he quickly hurried up so that he was next to Katie. "So, I can catch you anytime that I want to." He said and then reached over and took her hand before looking over to where Sean was. He was a few feet behind them and seemed to be off in his own little world again. Which meant that he was probably thinking about something really odd. "By the way, I've got a dog in mind for Anthony. It's from the same litter of puppies as Sean's dog. The person who bought it brought it back because they didn't like him. I don't know why they didn't like that dog, because if I hadn't gotten Toby he was my second choice." He said and wondered if there was an unknown reason about why they didn't like the dog. Since there had been nothing wrong with it, the puppy had loved everybody and had wanted to play. Not to mention it had all of the qualities that a good hunting dog should posses at a young age. "Oh, and if you still feel like going on one of those dates I mentioned ages ago I'd just have to let some people know like..a day in advance." He said and then looked at her and smiled, he still wasn't going to tell her all about his second option.
