The Lynch Twins

Chapter 8

Lola’s POV

It's our birthday tomorrow! R5 said that we can invite 2 friends each to our party. First we're going roller skating then we're going to play laser tag.

I'm inviting Jason and Ruby and Lilly's inviting Violet and Ella. I'm really excited to see what kind of presents R5 get us. Normally we get about 3 presents to share.

It's the 10th of July and we turn 12 on the 11th. R5s new EP comes out in 12 days but we've already heard it. Our favourite song is things are looking up but we also like stay with me.

I'm sooooo tired because all of us have been watching the complete box set of Harry Potter. I worked it out and to watch all of the DVDs without stopping would take 18 hour's. So far we're on The Deathly Hallows part 1.

As soon as we'd watched all the movies (plus bonus features) it was half past 11. Me and Lilly got ready for bed. Riker keeps having to carry me up and down the stairs but it's fun.

BTW, you're probably wondering how I can go roller skating and play laser tag with a broken leg. Well as for roller skating I'm in charge of videoing everyone so if anything really funny happens we can put it on YouTube.

And as for laser tag I can still play with crutches as I can go really fast on them actually.
~the next morning~
Lilly's POV

At 9 o clock this morning we were woken up by Ross, Riker, Rocky, Rydel and Ratliff all running into our room screaming happy birthday at the top of their voices.

We ate pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries for breakfast then our friends arrived. Rocky's girlfriend Esme was coming too and apparently she's awesome at laser tag.

Jason, Ruby and Ella were all here and we were just waiting for Violet. The doorbell rung and I answered the door to reveal Violet and another little girl standing shyly behind her. 

"Hey! This is Skye, she's a huge R5 fan as well." Skye slowly smiled at me before displaying a grin as Rocky and Ratliff came to the door. She told us that her favourite member was Ratliff. "Yes! The E-Rat strikes agian!" Ratliff yelled, making her giggle. They took some pictures and he signed her arm before she went back home with Violet's mom.

We all got in the van and drove to the roller skating rink.

Lola got a video camera and started recording. Almost strait away just after standing up Riker fell and landed flat on his face.

The kids were really good. I'd never tried before yet somehow I knew exactly what to do. We were just gliding around while Ross, Rocky, Riker and Ratliff kept falling over. Rydel and Esme were really good as well but at first they both fell over a bit.

One time that I thought was really funny was when Rocky fell over on the floor, Riker came and tripped over him and fell in top of him. Then Ross followed, tried to skate around but tripped and landed right on Riker’s head. Then finally Ratliff came, fell over just before he hit them, skidded on his knees and somehow flipped over them all. And Lola managed to record the whole thing.

After that we all drove to the laser tag place. When we got there we all got handed jackets and guns. There was 12 of us so we were splitting into teams of 6. Me and Lola were team captains so we got to choose who was in our teams. My team was: Me, Violet, Ruby, Ross, Riker and Rydel. Lola's team was: Her, Jason, Ella, Rocky, Esme and Ratliff.

We got told the rules and we went in. We all got 30 seconds to find a hiding place before they turned off the lights. I found a hiding place moments before it went dark.

I waited a few minutes until I heard footsteps coming my way. I slowly looked round, ready to shoot when I realised it was Ross. More footsteps were coming this way so I pulled Ross next to me and signalled for him to be silent. I saw it was Jason so me and Ross started shooting. The lights on his jacket went off showing that he was out.

About 10 minutes pasted and only me, Ross, Esme and Ratliff were still in. I heard more shooting from my hiding place and Ross yelling no. I was the only one left in my team now. I knew I would have to move so I tiptoed out of my hiding place to find myself face to face with Ratliff. I quickly shot him before he could get me and he was out. Just me and Esme left. I walked around for a bit until I found her. She immediately shot me but I ducked, shooting her back in the process. The lights on her jacket went out so we had won!
