"Paintball in the fucking snow. Mi from Jamaica and don't do the fucking cold mon."
"Barley, stop being a fucking bitch and go get suited up. Once you start moving about, you will forget about the cold." Xavier said as Xylia laughed behind the two. She was already ready to go as Barkley stood there with a paintball suit in his hand, looking from him to Xylia and then back to his laughing cousin Ziggy.
"Mi told yuh these bumbacolts were crazy. They fucking half black and white German. Yuh, probably run naked in the snow!" He laughed as Xavier and Xylia gave the man a look. She smiled back at him, and something about it made him hush quickly as he looked at his cousin.
"I'm not fucking white bitch! My light skin comes from me not getting enough sun. My father is mixed, and my mother is black; therefore, I am over 20% black and identify as fucking black! Call me white again, and I will puck those ugly fucking twigs out of your fucking head one by one bitch."
"Ya mon, she's fucking crazy," Jiggy said as he quickly left the room. Xavier and Barkley couldn't help but laugh as Xy walked over to her son, picking him up as if she had said nothing. Xy hated being called white, although she looked it half the time.
"Ark..."
"Ya mon and Empress, if my balls freeze off from playing in the snow with yuh all, blame your bredda." He said, leaving the room to change as Xavier stared at his sister.
"We are not fucking... yet. Why are you getting all overprotected? I thought you and Bark were like best friends or something."
"You misread my stare. I'm happy for you... kiss my nephew. Before going to the fields, I need to check on my wife." Xavier said, leaving and going straight to his house, finding Shanice, his two little sisters, and Xeon in front of the fireplace in the living room, looking at cartoons.
"You need anything... how do you feeling today?" Xavier asked before kissing his wife's head. Both his sisters whispered eww while his little brother reached for him to hold him. "Av, Harp, you want to play paintball with us?"
"Can we be on the teens' teams?" They asked as he shook his head. Quickly the two ran for the door putting on their shoes and coats as Xavier laughed. He would have driven them back home, but they walked back well... ran down the road to the main house where their dad had moved them back in after renovating it.
"Paintball in the snow. You, idiots, are asking for frostbite, and I'm not nursing you back to health." She laughed, throwing a piece of popcorn at him, which he caught with a chuckle.
"You will, or I won't cook for you when I get better. All those foods you like to eat and can't cook." He said as she looked back at him with a shocked looking. Xavier smiled again and then left to change. It wasn't long before they all were down in the field, ready to play, as Barkley, Ziggy, and Amoy complained about how cold it was.
"I hope all you bitches know the rules of paintball. Once you niggas are hit, you're out, and don't be fucking camping the whole damn game either because you think it's gonna help your team win. Because Elijah is coming after all, you little bitch ass muthafuckas. Especially your ugly asses!" Elijah said, giving his dad and his little crew his fingers. "Remember, the last person standing team wins. Bye bitches catch me if you can!" He yelled, disappearing into the woods. Soon as he got far enough, Xavier and Elias looked at each other with a smirk as they gave Avery a signal.
"AH, COME THE FUCK ON! HOW AM I GONNA BE THE FIRST FUCKING PERSON TO GET SHOT! AVERY, I KNOW THAT WAS YOU! BRING YOUR MONKEY ASS OUT OF THE TREE SO I CAN BEAT IT!"
That was easy because they knew Elijah hid in the same three places each time they played and always talked about others camping. So, they always took him out first or last, whichever came first. However, after that, the two of them ran in separate ways. While most of the teens and the younger ones like hiding in the trees and brushes, Xavier, Elias, Ava, and Xylia like to run on foot, and with it snowing, it helped hide their exact location if they play it right.
