I looked down at my pair of dirty black converse swinging in mid air as I sat upon some scaffolding, a can of beer in my hand.

"That's what, a three-story fall to the deck? I give you about a one-in-three chance of survival." Pope's voice rang in my ears, knowing he was talking about my brother.

"Hm, should I do it?"

"Yeah, jump. I'll shoot you on the way down."

"You'll shoot me?"

"Yep." Pope stood on the ground looking up at John B balancing on some kook's unstable roof.

I snickered as I rested my head on JJ's shoulder, "Pow!" My brother mimicked a gun.

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers," Kie walked out of the definitely unfinished house that was being built.

"Of course they are. Why wouldn't they?"

"This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles I guess?" She questioned as I shook my head.

"I can't have cold towels."

"I'd love to be a turtle. You know they can sleep under water for five hours? That would be fucking awesome, I'd never get out of the water. And they can live till they're like past 100 years old, we could all hang out as turtles for a hundred years... sounds like the dream to me." I rambled on as random things came to my mind.

"Our very own turtle encyclopaedia everyone, Miss Cherry Routledge!" JJ cheered as I flicked his ear, telling him to shut up.

"Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie said to John B and I nodded.

"Yeah John B, it would totally suck to lose the only member left of my family." I tipped the rest of my beer down my throat and reached for JJ's but he swatted my hand away.

"Don't spill that beer. I'm not giving you another one, and I'm not giving your grabby sister another one either." JJ said as he threw my empty one over the edge of the scaffolding.

"JJ!"

My brother dropped his beer just as JJ said that and I threw my head back laughing. I stood up and picked his half empty can and took a sip for myself, the others giving me weird looks.

"What? It's still beer." I said and took my seat next to JJ again.

"Hey, uh, security's here. Let's wrap it up." Pope warned us.
