(Hopefully I'll update my idea book soon with another chapter of North Pole Trouble which is a mini story that relates to this Vacktor story) (this is a 6 thousand something word chapter......)

Red rushed into class. He could only wait for his brother for so long before he'd end up late. And being late does not look when applying to college. Red took his seat and Purple entered right before the bell rang. Purple slumped his backpack on the ground and sat next to Red. Red noticed that Purple had one of his ears pierced and had a black hop in it. Purple was wearing a nose ring, biker boots and had a fake tattoo of a skull on one of his hands. Not to mention the leather jacket and pants. On the other hand he was wearing a fingerless black glove. And of course the classic emo bangs. Red thought Purple was trying a little too hard to be "emo/goth."

"Purple where were you?" Red asked with concern especially after seeing Purple's new look. Red was slightly afraid his brother would get his tongue pierced. And he could only imagine the reaction mom would have to all this.

"I was taking care of things." Purple said.

"Yeah if by things you mean joining a gang." Red said his voice trailing off a bit. Purple rolled his eyes.

The teacher told everyone to gather up into groups and try to work on beating up a beaker of liquid using only certain ingredients and tools. Red and Purple well Red looked for a team to join. Purple sat there avoiding people and looking emo.

"Hey can me and my brother join your group?" Red asked two boys.

"Yeah sure whose your bother?" The first kid asked. Red pointed to Purple.

"Uh never mind." The second boy said with fear in his eyes. Red figured they must be scared of Purple's "wanna be goth look."

"Purple's innocent...he won't hurt anyone." Red said.

"He's purple..." The first kid said. The second boy nodded.

"Yeah we don't need freaks on our team." The first kid said gesturing to Purple. Purple hissed under his breath.

"Purple it's not worth it just ignore them." Red said placing a hand on Purple's chest to prevent Purple from doing anything.

Red and Purple ended up working on their own doing their own experiments. Red and Purple were in the lead which made the kids from earlier upset.

The other kids from earlier started laughing and snickering as they threw something into the beaker. Red looked over at them and they were clearly cheating. Using ingredients that weren't allowed to make his project look better. Purple was obvisouly disturbed by this and he became very angry. "Purple just leave him alone." Red said.

"He's cheating Red and I know we can level the playing field." Purple said bitterly as a dark look came across his face. Red gave him a confused look as Purple excused himself.

Red couldn't help, but wonder what Purple was up to...

Out in the hallways Purple was asking Orange to help him cheat

"Orange I need you to heat this up for me." Purple said.

"Purple this is cheating!" Red yelled. What was wrong with his sweet brother that he used to know? Purple didn't really seem to respond or I guess care that he was doing something wrong.

"What that other kid did was wrong." Purple said. Orange sensed a fight was coming on and he slowly backed himself away form his brothers.

"I'm not going to let humans get away with this!" Purple hissed. Humans? This wasn't about humans. I was just one kid who was a horrible person..

"Purple this isn't like you!" Red said.

"Then maybe you don't know me." Purple said with anger burning in his eyes. Purple left the room he needed some fresh air and he needed to get away from his brother Red who was always trying to be a goodie goodie kinda like Magenta.... At this point Orange was gone.

Purple was sitting on a bench trying to calm down. He felt so much rage back there that he was driven to cheat.

Purple got up and left ditching next class.

Magenta was a pretty girl a very pretty girl. And despite the fact that she was different what with pinkish colored hair and eyes and having weird siblings boys couldn't help, but like Magenta. Plus she was a cheerleader now and boys like cheerleaders or well at least they do in those stereotypical high school movies.

Was Pink jealous? Maybe.... Or maybe Pink saw the truth about Magenta

"Oh thanks so much Rodney." Magenta said with legit kindness in her voice. Pink just watched as a handsome boy carried Magenta's books for her and opened the door to their class. Rodney smiled at Magenta.

"Must be because your a cheer leader now." Pink said.

"Must be what?" Magenta asked.

"Oh don't try and play cute and innocent with me." Pink said rolling her eyes.

"What?" Magenta asked with confusion and sadness.

"Oh look I'm Magenta I'm sweet and innocent and perfect. But really I'm a backstabbing -baaa-" Pink said. (Thank you censor sheep for censoring Pink's words) Magenta was shocked especially with Pink's language.

"You're hanging out with people who bully Yellow." Pink said.

"I..I'm not..they're not..." Magenta said feeling guilt deep inside her heart.

"Not what? It's pretty obvious that they bully him. I mean look how he's acting." Pink said.

"He..." Magenta said.

"Guess your a bully too if you hang out with them." Pink said with hatred in her eyes.

"I'd..never..." Magenta said.

"Never what?" Pink asked. Magenta was speechless she didn't know how to respond.

"Guess you think your better than us huh?" Pink asked.

"..." Was all Magenta could say.

"Exactly." Pink said with bitterness in her voice. "He probably hates you now. Like we all do." Pink said.

"Mr. Richards...c..can I use the restroom p..please?" Magenta asked on the verge of tears.

"Sure..." Her teacher said and Magenta got up from her seat and rushed to the bathroom. Pink smirked as she watched Magenta leave. Magenta was like a flower sweet and beautiful but easy to wilt.

Magenta stayed in the bathroom quietly crying in a stall.

"Do you think Yellow's acting weird?" Red asked Green.

"He didn't cook breakfast this morning and he's been doing that since he was nine. Plus he's wearing your clothes." Green stated.

"Maybe he's uh trying to impress a girl or something?" Red questioned.

"I doubt it." Green replied.

"Yellow didn't even smile today." Red said with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"Yeah Yellow would probably smile if he was dying, because he wouldn't know any other way to properly express his feelings." Green said.

"Yeah I guess..." Red said.

Red didn't know what to do, but figured walking home with his siblings would help things. The walk back was quite and awkward.

Everyone came home except Purple

Magenta kept her head down as Pink glared at her. Their mother could sense some sort of tension between them. Magenta also avoided being near Yellow. And Yellow was obvisouly acting different he dressed like Red did wearing dark colors which Yellow never wore in attempt to stop getting bullied. And Purple was gone....

"Where's Purple?" Their mom asked. It was the most important thing to ask since Purple wasn't with them. She didn't mind if her kids did stuff after school, but without saying anything that was another story.

"We don't know." Yellow said straining his vocal cords to sound "normal"

"Yellow why are you talking like that?" Their mom asked.

"Young man. What are you wearing?" Their mom asked when she saw Purple's new "look."

"Teenage rebellion." Purple said as he popped open a soda.

"Will teenage rebellion is getting his butt grounded. You can't just leave the house and not tell people where your going!...." Their mom said, but Purple walked away.

"Hey! Don't walk away... Young man..l am trying to talk to you...." Their mom said as Purple shut the door to his room. Technically it was Green, Blue, and Purple's room. Miss Vacktor was on edge. Her new job didn't pay as well as she wanted. Yellow was being bullied at school and trying to change himself. Her daughters couldn't get along. And now Purple was ditching school and dressing like a juvenile delinquent. Gosh she needed a break.

"WEll tHat HaPpEnD." Yellow said. As soon as the words left his mouth he grabbed his throat. Everyone looked at Yellow.

"Y..yellow?" Blue questioned.

"WhAt?" Yellow asked. Everyone started to look at Yellow and Yellow began to panic even more than he already was.

"What's wrong with his voice?" Pink asked.

"i DonT kNoW!" Yellow said trying to not let his panic become obvious to his siblings. Blue started to cry seeing Yellow sound so broken.

"Well he's been talking like me all day." Red said.

"What?" Their mom asked.

"I mean he's literally been mimicking my voice all day." Red said he continued speaking as he felt a chill run down his back." He sounded just like me." Red said.

"Is that why he's glitching now?" Green asked. Their mom walked up to Yellow and started to unscrew an invisible panel on his throat exposing a lot of Yellow's wires much to the discomfort of Yellow.

"Yes it's because he's straining his vocal cords to sound like Red." Their mom said. Yellow didn't say anything. He just tried to avoid everyone's stares. His mom realized she should try to address some of the elephants in the room.

"Yellow why are you wearing Red's clothes?" Their mom asked.

"I dIDnt HaVe aNY cLeAN cLoTHeS LeFt." Yellow said. That was a lie if you would have walked into Yellow's room you would've found a whole bunch of overals and shirts. Yellow just wanted to stop dressing like a "child."

"Yellow." Red said with disbelief. Yellow choose not to reply he just sat still staring at the ground as his mom tried to fix him.

Eventually Yellow was fixed.

Magenta felt it would be best to not talk to Yellow. Yellow probably hated her for hanging out with people who weren't exactly nice to him.... Magenta looked at Yellow while he was looking in the opposite direction and quickly hurried up the stairs before he had a chance to say anything to her.

Red decided he would try to get answers from Yellow.

"Why did you mimic me?" Red asked.

"I didn't my vocal cords were glitching." Yellow said sadly.

"Yellow." Red said with a sensitive tone in his voice. Yellow's eyes had a flicker of sadness and then he tensed up.

"I was glitching you heard what mom said, so just leave me alone and drop it." Yellow replied as he balled up his fists. Red tried to speak to say something, but Yellow quickly turned around and faced him.

"I said it doesn't matter okay? Just leave me alone. I'm not mimicking you now am I? No, so just leave it at that." Yellow said and with that he left leaving Red stunned. Well so much for trying to get answers Yellow obvisouly didn't want to tell anything what was going on.

Red's POV

Great first Orange is being aloof, then Purple tries to cheat, Yellow's obviously lying and none of them will tell me why! And not even me or Magenta seems to be able to help them!

No ones point of view

Yellow stopped acting like Red for now. He wouldn't tell anyone why he acted that way. They just couldn't know. Yellow was the happy one he shouldn't burden other people with his problems or insecurities besides he didn't know what to do. Be yourself get hurt and bullied be someone else and you kinda hurt them....

The next day Yellow was his happy self. He was bubbly, fun, loving, hyper. His siblings just thought he had a bad day. Well almost all his siblings, but no one knew how much he was hurting...

A young teenage girl sat on the edge of her pink bed with way too many pillows trying to stop smiling. It didn't work she was too head over heels for a certain boy. He gave her flowers early that day at school asking her to the upcoming dance. At first she wasn't sure if she liked him and tried to push her feeling down, but she couldn't help it there was something about him. He wasn't like most guys she dated. The typical bad boys that her brothers didn't approve of. Those relationships never really lasted and usually ended in disaster for her so maybe that's why she accepted his offer. Maybe she was looking for something new.

"Hey Pink? You in here?" Red asked knocking on the door.

Pink was too busy being in boy land at the moment to answer.

"Pink?" Red asked she knocked again.

"Hmm." She said. Red narrowed his eyes Pink was making that hmm noise again which meant she was crazy about some boy that no one would in the family would like. Red just found her range crushes to be nonsense. Every last guy was worse than the last. Red decided he was no longer going to be polite and just opened the door himself.

"Let me guess a new lover? Who this from a motorcycle guy? Some dude with a bunch of nose perceings and tattoos? That one slacker kid who always plays hide n seek with teacher Phillip?" Red asked with no real corcern for who the boy was.

"No he's different." Pink said. Red felt like he wanted to pull his hair out of his head.

"That's what you say about. Literally. Every. Guy. Ever." Red said.

"But this time I mean it." Pink said.

"Oh yeah sure you mean it." Red replied sassing her.

"No I do. He's a friend of ours." Pink said. Red was now annoyed he walked over and took the flowers looking at the name of the boy who gave them to her. His eyes were in shock when he read the name.

"B..b.." Red said.

"Barney." Pink said in a love sick way. Red shook his head.

"Your going to the dance with Barney?" He asked.

"Yep." Pink said.

"My best friend?" Red asked starting to sound upset.

"Yep." Pink said as she continued to think about him.

"What? Why?" Red asked. This caused Pink to sit up.

"You have a problem with Barney he's your best friend?" Pink asked.

"No not with Barney. It's just he.." Red said.

"I see you always critize who I date. I finally find a "good boy" a family friend and you've got a problem." Pink said.

"No it's not..that." Red said as if he was in pain.

"Than what is it?" Pink demanded.

"I..I." Red declined to answer.

"Whatever. You've always got a problem with me and my boyfriends. I just don't you to ruin my happiness." Pink said as she walked out of the room snatching the flowers back from Red. Red stood there. Why didn't he tell Pink how much he cared about her? That she needed the best. That he didn't want someone to break her heart. Just then Gray walked in.

"I heard the conversation from the hall." She said.

"You really need to stop listening in on people's conversations." Red replied, but he knew Gray, she'd always listen in to everything and appear out of no where.

"And you really need to let Pink be happy. She finally found a boy that's actually good." Gray replied.

"Good? Wait you approve?" Red asked flabbergasted. "I thought you would have liked Pink's other boyfriends. They're all rebels dressed in black or goths that like hanging out in cemeteries." Red replied.

"Those "rebels" do not have a cause. They fight for nothing, and their passionate is therefore wasted. And I am not a goth, my style is much too refined for their tastes, and it was you who wanted to go visit the cemetery. Also we are getting off the subject at hand. Why do not approve of Pink and Barney being together?" Gray asked.

"It's not that I don't approve. I just ugh." Red said in frustration.

"Or you are feeling jealous?" Gray suggested.

"I'm not jealous." Red replied.

"You are jealous of Pink's ability to find a suitor, while you have had no luck." Gray replied.

"Maybe a little." Red huffed. Gray made a hmm sound.

"And you also care about our dear sister." Gray said.

Red rolled his eyes. Why was his sister so right and so annoying? Red would never really admit how much he cared about Pink. She didn't need to know.

Blue's POV (sad Blue stuff) (very sad)

I walk over to the mirror and look at myself. I never liked mirrors or photos they showed how weird and unattractive I was. I'm blue. I always have been and always will be. Mom tried to fix us, but she couldn't and people bully me because I'm blue. Every part of me is blue except my black pupils, white teeth and the whites of my eyes, other than that I'm blue. People call me names, or they punch me, or they stare at me. They really make me hate myself. That first day of kindergarten I started questioning why I was alive and what I had to live for. I asked my mom if I was sick because I was blue. Everyone else had normal healthy pinkish looking skin and I was blue. I feel into a state of depression at five years old, a state of depression and severe anxiety that I'll probably never get out of.

Maybe that's why I like water so much, apprently depressed people like the rain and I'm well depressed. It might also have to do with my powers. Ice and water. My powers can be dangerous which just adds to my anxiety. When I was little I thought maybe my powers were making blue, so I stopped using them.

Normal people can't freeze things or move water with their mind, but I can. And it's weird. What if someone found out me? They'd lock me up, or experiment on me. Things like this make me want to hide away and lock myself in a closet and curl up into a ball and cry that and all the bullying it's just safer to hide. If you hide people can't hurt you, and you can't hurt them.

I opened my mouth and ran one of my fingers over a fang. It was sharp and pointy. We each have four fangs were are cainine teeth are. Two on the top two on the bottom. It would probably scare people if they knew I had them. They'd probably think I'm some beast or some monster. My fangs can't be removed, filed down, or retracted so I just hide them and that works. They aren't hard to talk with or hard to eat with they're just there. Reminding me of how freaky I am. And then there's my claws. They're a transparent light bluish whitish color. They can be filed down or I can wear gloves to cover them up. And that works well pretty much. Along with that is my tail. Its dark blue and is goes down to my ankles, so it's pretty long for a tail I guess, I mean who else do you know that has a tail? Its attached to my waist and it's scaley and it has light blue spikes on it. Wrapping it around the waist isn't the most comfortable thing, but I can only imagine what they'd do to me if they saw my tail. I had a cousin once who saw our tails and he started yanking on them even when he found out they were attached to us...so I'd imagine people would hurt me if they ever found out. And I really don't like getting beat up it hurts... When we were a few years old we grew spikes on ours backs as well. Mine are a dark blue color that matches the color of my hair and tail. We can retract our spikes for some reason though, which is a good thing because I don't know how I'd be able to hide them. They're pretty pointy and they are extremely visible even when wearing a shirt to cover them up. Not that I'd ever not wear a shirt. I have anxiety just thinking about it.

I think Yellow is the only person who likes his tail and fangs. He also really loves his powers. I don't know why it's just having powers scares me. How is so okay with them?

When I was nine I had to sleep in the pool, because I was getting dehydrated.

Orange one time decided to prank me. I feel asleep and woke up with a merman tail costume on. I was freaking out and I started crying because I had no legs... Anyways Orange felt really bad and mom got mad at him cause I over reacted. It was just a prank bro. That's what cool people say about pranks right?

And I sound strange. I stutter and people always are mean to me because of it. It makes me not want to talk to people if they're just gonna mock me or be mean. For awhile I actually stopped talking to everyone, now I just only really talk to my siblings, mom, and sometimes Barney. I know Barney is a Dino hybrid so he won't judge me. Other people other people will judge me and then I'll be even more miserable. And then because people bullied me so much I talk in the third person. Saying Blue is scared, Blue is sad etc.. It's called dissociation. I often dissociate from myself I guess, even my concious doesn't want to be me and I don't blame it. I guess that's why I'm kinda childish, I'm so tramutized by my past that I can't really grow up, sometimes I faint because I panic too much or something happens. Like loud sounds, or lots of flashing lights and stuff. I really don't like those things. They're just too much for me.

Mom keeps telling me there's nothing wrong with me, but all moms say that. If there was nothing wrong with me I'd be a human and I'd have friends and people would stop calling me a baby and they'd stop hitting me.

And then I think about my future how am I gonna get a job someday if people think I'm a freak and I'm too shy to talk to them?

Maybe the bullies are right maybe I am a baby.

Blue left the restroom and went to bed, but didn't manage to sleep much his worries kept him up all night...

The next morning

Blue walked down the stairs slugging his bag over his shoulder. His hair was all messy and he looked like he just got out of bed. No one really payed attention to it or to Blue, he just continued walking down the stairs. Blue was feeling kind of strange this morning. He didn't exactly know what it was,but he didn't feel very good.

"Hey Blue did you ever decide to join band?" Yellow asked.

Blue was leaning against the staircase. His body felt like is was heating up even more. He could feel himself sweating now. "N..no." Blue said sadly. He was too nervous to actually join besides if he joined band he might actually make friends then who would sit in the fourth stall of the boys bathroom everyday and eat lunch? "I d..didn't feel like it.." Blue said. Blue really started feeling strange now. Blue started looking down at himself.

"Really but you'd be so good. I mean really you should join." Yellow said.

"Yeah he should join I mean he plays so...." Red said.

Blue looked up his breathing getting heavy and his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he started falling towards the floor. Luckily Yellow managed to catch him before he hit the floor. Everyone ran towards him.

"He feels really hot." Pink said as she felt his forehead. It wasn't a normal temperature for the blue skinned boy. Blue was always extremely cold to people.

"He's not waking up!" Yellow said as he gently tried shaking his arm to see if Blue would come to.

"Is he breathing?" Green asked.

"Yeah he is." Yellow said as he took Blue's pulse.

"Um should someone get mom?" Orange asked.

"I'm on it." Magenta said as she ran out of the room.

A few minutes later their mom came back and took a look at Blue. "He just fell. Magenta said as she tried not to cry. She was scared for Blue, everyone was. They all knew they could never go to a hospital if they got sick, which is why they made sure to never get sick. Lots of vitamins, healthy food, shots that their mother would give them to make sure they wouldn't get any serious diseases. The last time anything like this every happened was when Orange was out in the cold for too long. Luckily they didn't need any medical treatment. If they did go to a hospital a doctor would see their um unqiue anatomy and physiology and experiment on them. It would be unsafe for the whole family, and with well the things Doogle is doing, and the fact that there no no longer works there they don't have a fully functional lab to take Blue to.

"Here get Blue ice packs, and ice cream and anything cold." Their mom said as she placed a hand on Blue's extremely hot forehead.

The others ran off to get what there mom wanted. "Let's just hope it isn't a fever." Their mom said as she took out a thermometer to take his temperature. And surely enough Blue had a fever. At least it wasn't the fever of unknown origin that would probably kill Blue. Everyone placed ice packs and whatever cold they could find onto Blue.

"These should help since Blue has ice powers and has to keep a low external and internal body temperature or else he'll heat up and die. His organs are essentially frozen and if this fever continues his organs will melt so to speak." Red said.

Blue didn't wake up for awhile so there mom changed him into a pair of shorts hoping it would cool him down. Why was Blue even wearing so many layers of clothes anyways? Probably because he was insecure about his appreance.

Blue slowly came to with bags on ice all over his body. He blinked a few times trying to see as he realized he wasn't wearing his glasses. It was all just a big colorful blurr to Blue and that made him feel unsafe and uncomfortable. There was an ice cold wet cloth on his face just above his eyes. Blue slowly started to sit up, so he could figure out what was going on. "Sit down!" His mom said. Blue laid back down. Blue looked down. All Blue was wearing was a pair of shorts.

"W..where's m..my s..shirt?" Blue asked feeling uncomfortable and embrassed.

"You were heating up too much so we took it off of you." His mom said. Blue covered his chest with his arms.

"Did you get any sleep last night Blue?" His mom asked.

"N..o I didn't f..eel well enough to s..leep." Blue said quitely. It was true, well part of it. And not sleeping probably made Blue even worse.

"Well that contributes to some of the problem, but you probably haven't been drinking any water have you?" His mom asked. Blue nodded weakly. "Blue you need to drink water or else you'll kill yourself by getting dehydrated." His mom said. Blue nodded weakly again.

"Why didn't you tell us you were sick?" Magenta asked with worry and concern in her voice.

"I d..don't k..know." Blue said sadly. Blue felt embrassed talking to people, he truly believed people didn't really care about him and that he just made everything worse. I mean look at Blue he didn't drink enough water and now everyone had to make his body temperature go down. "I just w..anna sleep." Blue said.

Blue's POV

Blue was just a mistake a big mess up who could never do anything right.

And now everyone has to take care of Blue because he failed.

Blue is crying now. Blue is such a baby...

No ones POV

"Blue? Why are you crying sweetie?" His mom asked.

"Blue wants to s..leep in the p..ool." Blue said.

Blue spent the rest of the day in the extremely cold pool to help lower his temperature.

Pink's POV

Magenta is an angel she never does anything wrong ever. She's so sweet, caring, and innocent. Innocence sounds like a good thing to be, but people who are usually innocent end up getting hurt. They don't realize the danger that they're in, and they are way too trusting of people. They only realize how their innocence is bad thing once it's too late. Plus everyone likes her. Everyone. I don't if she realizes it probably doesn't, but the amount of guys who like her is insane. Probably helps that she's a cheerleader. Cheerleaders get all the boys. And she's a nice cheerleader too. And it's not just the bad boys it's well everyone really. And I know your thinking. Pink you've got Barney. Well yeah, but I don't know. I kinda want to see what other options are out there. Barney's nice and all I guess. I mean maybe he's the one maybe not... I just back to the subject at hand. Magenta. People can't get over her sweetness or something. Even mom seems to like Magenta more than the others. Magenta is her little princess or whatever.

(Just some of Pink's thoughts about Magenta)

Red's POV

Over the last few years my family started to fall apart. We're now sixteen and things have t been the same. High schools been rough really. No one talks to anyone anymore... Even Orange is well.... doing his own thing. Orange doesn't really talk anymore...Magenta keeps acting guilty and shy, Blue might be.. He might suicidal, my brother might be suicidal and he refuses to talk to anyone abut his problems. Green either doesn't care of is just pretending not to, Yellow's lying he's obvisouly hurt and lonely, Purple is aloof and agressive to everyone now. Pink seems to have some against Magenta and is obsessed with boys probably as an attempt to escape the madness that is our lives. And Gray is well Gray, I mean she wasn't always like this. Well she never opened up to anyone ever, but that's probably because Gray doesn't feel much of anything. Or maybe she doesn't and she just doesn't like to talk about it. Come to think of it no one in this family really likes to talk about how they feel. It's like everyone's suffering and everyone knows it, yet no ones really doing anything to try and help each other for whatever reason that might be... At least Yellow might be trying to do something he's trying to get us siblings to have a family meeting, so I guess I should go....I just don't know what to do I feel like my familys falling apart.

I sigh heavily and then head downstairs.

NO ONES POINT OF VIEW

Red makes it downstairs the last sibling to arrive. Yellow smiles happily when he sees Red. "Now that everyone's here I think we can start the meeting!" He says his voice filled with excitement.

"You know what we should go on a camping trip!" Yellow said with a smile.

"What why be surrounded by a bunch of bugs and sleep on the ground!" Pink said.

"It would help us bond and everything it would be so much fun. We should totally do it durning the summer. It would be a late sweet sixteen party. We could even bring Barney." Yellow said.

"Why not invite other people?" Pink asked.

"Well it's not like we have any friends other than Barney. People just don't get us that well." Yellow said.

"I think that's a great idea. We could become one with nature. Imagine how many fascinating species of flora and fauna we might see out there." Magenta said.

"A..aren't f..flora a..and fauna from s..sleeping bea..beauty? A..and w..what a..about Merrywhether?" Blue asked.

"Yes they are they're fairies, Magenta's talking about different plants and animals." Yellow said.

Blue let out a little oh. "I agree it would be nice to become one with nature and find the inner workings on my mind." Green said.

"I didn't know you liked to find yourself Green. You always critize me for being a "hippie." Magenta said.

"I critize you for wearing flower crowns and refusing to eat meat. Not for loving nature." Green said.

"You used to call me a tree hugger." Magenta said.

"You used to literally hug trees Magenta and you even talked to them." Green pointed out.

"I'm a plant Green." Magenta said.

"You can be a plant, but I can't be a werewolf even though I have wolf like senses." Green said.

"I never said you couldn't or weren't a werewolf Green." Magenga said trying to avoid any potential fights.

"You aren't a werewolf Green, if you were you'd turn into one during the full moon." Red said interrupting their conversation.

Green rolled his eyes. "I might be part werewolf, besides some books on lycanthropy say people don't turn into werewolves until they are eighteen. We just only turned sixteen, so I've still got plenty of time." Green said proud of his vast knowledge on werwolves. Green knew deep down inside that he was one with the wolves. Red just narrowed his eyes. Green could be so irrational sometimes.

"Whatever let's just go back to what you saying about a camping trip Yellow." Red said.

"Well I think we've uh grown distant." Yellow said starting his conversation. Yellow remembered how close everyone was as kids. Pink and Magenta used to be best friends as children they did everything together, but that changed. Pink almost seemed jealous or hateful towards Magenta. Red and Purple were best friends who loved working on science experiments together, but now Purple was different. Yellow couldn't exactly describe it, but he was not the same Purple he knew. And then there was Blue, Blue didn't seem to like Yellow anymore and Yellow figured it had something to do with being struck by the sun. When Yellow was younger he was quite and calm and not hyper like he was now. Blue's a very clam and quite person so he used to get along well with Yellow, but now Yellow is different and Blue has had trouble getting used to the new him. And no one really hung out with Orange anymore. Orange just did art in the backyard along most days.

Everyone looked around at each other realizing that their family was different. "I just thought a week in the woods together without any phones or distractions would help bring us all together for the better! I mean don't you miss how close we were before things got complicated and we all held secrets from each other." Yellow said. Green, Red, and Purple felt especially guilty with the whole holding secrets part.

"I can see that I'm right." Yellow said.

"Why is Barney coming if this is family bonding?" Orange asked.

"Barney's kind of like family now he knows all our secrets and may join the family someday." Yellow said. Everyone turned to look at Pink who then awkwardly looked at her hands. "Uh anyways I talked to mom about it she said it sounded like a good idea for us, since her bonding attempts didn't work so well." Yellow said.

"Yeah ballet was stupid." Pink said referring back to their mom's attempt to get her and her sisters to bond.

"Anyways I just wanted to see what you guys think." Yellow said as he turned to Red. Red was already considered to be the leader of the family and his siblings generally listens to him even if they didn't agree with him.

"You know what I think that might be a good idea I'm in." Red said with smile.

"I'm in too, but I'm bringing bug spray lots and lots of bug spray." Pink said.

"So am I." Magenta said enthusiastically. One by one all of the Vacktor siblings agreed. Purple however relucktantly accepted.

"This is gonna be so much fun!" Yellow said jumping up and down.

(Also it's been hard to write lately) (this chapter was insanely hard to write and I don't know why)
