*Josh's P.O.V*

"You what? Oh my God, why'd you do that Willy...? Are you insane?" Jack shouted.

"Well, I didn't mean to hit her that hard, just a bit... but it went wrong... a bit..." Willy tailed off.

"A bit? Are you kidding me? I mean, what if mom and dad found out? We're dead if that happens you know that..?" Jack went on furiously.

The silence filled the room as Jack paced around impatiently around the room, and Willy thinking about how to get out of this situation.

"Well, that was the plan, wasn't it?" I asked.

Both of them turned to look at me confused.

"I mean, weren't we supposed to do stuff like that to them so that they'll leave... maybe?" I added.
"Not that fast Josh. Its too early." Jack answered.
"Well, the earlier the better... don't you think?" I said.

Jack just looked at me, his mouth a bit open.
After a few moments of taking in what I said, he sat down on his bed and sighed briefly.

"But mom, you said that if I'll win my science fair, you'll take me to the park... did you forget?" Peter walked around mom, holding his science fair winning certificate, as she continued to do the laundry.

"Peter, sweetie, not today, mommy is so tired, and she still has to do alot today..! Please." Mom told him.

Peter sighed and went to his room. What a good boy he is. Sometimes i wonder if he really is our brother. Who does he take after? Hmm... definatly not me, and from what Willy did earlier, definatly on him to. Is it Jack?
I started laughing at the thought... but asked mom anyway.

"Ah that is a question to be asked! Hmm... let me see, he is smart, punctual, active, strong and how can I forget, handsome. " mom said in peices and then stopped to think.

"I think its your grandfathers younger brother!" Mom said and I rolled my eyes.

"Isn't Jack the one who takes after him?" I asked.
"Well, yeah! That means Peter also takes after his brother.!" She said with a gloomy smile and I scoffed.

Mom started giggling on the fact too.
"What are you guys talking about me?" Jack said as he came in the laundry room, his bike by his side.

"We just found out that Peter takes after you!" I informed and he scould.
"Come on, its not that bad!" I added.

"Whatever!" was all he said.
"Mmm, Jack, honey, will you and Josh take Peter to the nearby park? He really wanted to go to one, but I'm busy so will you?" Mom asked.

"Uhh... sure." Jack said unsurly
"I'll get him. " he added.

*Edith's P.O.V*

"I don't get it! How will I know its x that has to be replaced?" Care said annoyingly.

"Aaghh... care, its already been the fourth time I'm trying to make you understand it! What's wrong with you?" Beth shouted in lower voice.

The two went on. But my mind was somewhere else. What could it be? Why would they be like that? The questions keep on poping in my head as I gazed out the window. Not caring that I have a ton of homework to do.

That's when I saw those boys leaving their house. 'Well, there's only one way to find out!' I thought to myself.
I stood up from my desk.

"Come on, we gotta go!" I said.
"Where? Where? Hey? WHERE?" Caroline shouted from behind, but still followed.
