Cahill Reunion

Hamilton's POV

The football game started and everyone not playing was gathered on the deck. Sinead insisted that the people in the front at least wear bike helmets to be slightly protected from stray balls, and no one argued after seeing me get mad and spike the ball into the ground, creating a dent that will probably be there forever. We boys lost the coin toss and the girls elected Natalie and Ian as the unbiased judges, because neither of the could care less who won. The girls started with the ball and Reagan passed the ball to Sinead, who ran like a bullet down the field. Ned and Ted couldn't catch her, but I had been stationed in front of the goal. I was so focused on Sinead that I didn't notice Madison behind me until she jumped on my back and covered my eyes. Sinead then zipped past us and spiked the ball down into the goal. I finally shook off Madison, who landed hard in the dirt and grass, but she simply got up, brushed herself off, and shoved me. "Unfair play!" I called to the Kabras. Natalie had gotten bored as soon as Reagan passed and started flipping through a magazine, so she just shrugged, and Ian stared playing chess with a Russian super-computer even before the kick-off, so he waved his hand dismissively and said to his headset's microphone, "Check." The girls elected new judges Amy and Dan, both incredibly biased but for opposite sides. Ian and Natalie went inside, and Amy and Dan decided the girls got the point for that play. We played awhile longer. Score at the end of the first quarter was 7-6, girls (We were scoring by how many touchdowns you had, not actual football scoring). End of second quarter, 9-8, boys. End of third quarter, 17-13, boys. End of fourth quarter, final score, 20-17, girls. Yep. The girls won. It was embarrassing until Sinead came over, lifted my chin, and kissed me. Romantically. She whispered into the kiss, "Good game." I smiled slightly and whispered back, "Says the winner."

~TIME SKIP TO NEXT DAY ;D~

I woke up early and walked to the huge gym that sat in the left side of the mansion. I found that Reagan and Madison were already there and had set up a little activity. They had found Dan's stash of Cahill dolls and had little X's taped on the floor in a 10x10 triangle with the middle one missing. On each of the X's sat a doll that Dan must have used a 3-D printer to make, because their likeliness to the people in the house was uncanny. The triangle went like this:

AMY

DAN SINEAD

NED ________ TED

IAN JONAH NELLIE NATALIE

They had clearly removed the Holt dolls because looking at a doll of your self could be kind of creepy. They had the dolls set up under where we usually scaled rope, and on one side a two foot tall mat and on the other side was a two foot tall three foot wide mat, and Madison and Reagan were taking turns starting by hopping onto the first mat, taking the climbing rope which they had tied a sizable knot into the bottom of, and sitting on the knot and swinging back and forth over the dolls. On each swing they would grab one and place it on the second mat while they swung over it. It looked fun and I stepped into line behind Madison. When Reagan was done Madison went, and then me. First I grabbed the Sinead doll and placed it on the mat, then I strategically went for the far corners while I still was going strong. Next I grabbed Ian, then Natalie, then Jonah, then Nellie, then Ned, then Ted, then Dan, and finally Amy. When I placed Amy on the mat Reagan and Madison cheered, telling me I was the first one to get all of the dolls on the mat. They both had kept going for the easy ones, and by the time it was only the back row left they didn't have the momentum to reach the dolls at the back, so I was pretty proud of myself. We all did it a few more times until the clock read 8:30, because that was when breakfast was served every day. We had a schedule. Amy had taped the schedule on the inside of every room's door. So we Holts jogged to the kitchen and took all of our food. I had 3 pancakes and 2 waffles, Reagan had 2 pancakes and 1 waffle, and Madison had 8 pancakes and no waffles. I took a seat next to Sinead and started eating my food. When Ames walked into the kitchen she yelped, "Hamilton! You are dripping syrup all over the nice white tablecloth!" I sighed, raised the tablecloth to my mouth, and gave it a big lick. "Better?" I asked, showing Amy the smuged golden spot on the tablecloth. Sinead giggled, and Amy's mouth widened in horror. I pulled a hundred dollar bill out of my back pocket and tossed it to her. "If it matters so much, buy a new one." I could do things like that now, throw around money like that. After the clue hunt, us Holt kids had tried out the game show 'Wipeout!'. We all went on different seasons and we all won so we had $150,000 in all from that and we used that money to invest in a company that made us lots more money so now we were rich. After we had all finished breakfast, I said, "Why don't we actually play Truth or Dare instead of a mini-matchmaker game?" For once, all the Cahills nodded in agreement at the same time. Even Ian and Natalie nodded their heads, probably just because they wanted to embarass us all. But we all walked down to the Truth or Dare room where all of us had started relationships and I went first with, "Jonah, Truth or Dare?" "Truth." Various squaking chicken nosies sounded through the room. Amy silenced everyone and I said, "Have you ever played never have I ever?" He shook his head in the universal sign for 'no'. Natalie spoke up, "Oh that game is so fun! I played it once at a sleepover with my friends and we all ended up SUPER dru-" She cut off her word at Ian's look of disaproval and changed it to, "-m talented. Drum talented." but everyone could tell she was about to say a bunch of eleven years olds got drunk playing a stupid game. (This is between series one and two when Nellie is 21 and can legally buy achohol) Jonah said, "Dan. Truth or Dare?" "I thought we went over this last time," Dan said. "The Ninja Lord never backs down from a dare!" "I dare you to prank call Bella." "Who's Bella?" Natalie asked. "My ex" Dan mumbled quietly. The room still had built-in speakers, though, so everyone heard him. Natalie turned pruple from rage and Jonah explained how to alter a phone number so it will show you as an anonymus caller. Dan put it on speaker phone per Jonah's instructions, and the phine rang twice before a high-pitched cheerleader vioce sprang out of the phone. "Hello, this is Bella Timary! How may I help you?" "Hi, this is Brent from the local hospital," Dan said in a fake deep voice, "I'd just like to confirm you order of ten thousand asprin pills?" "WHAT?" Bella asked, astonished. "I didn't order any asprin pills!" "Are you saying you aren't the resident of 1345 Cherrybloom Lane?" "NO!" "Oh, man! My boss is gonna kill me!" Dan exclaimed and hit the 'End Call' button. Then, while his phone was still on the floor where everyone could see, he went to his contacts and deleted the one titled Bella, then went to the one called British Cutie and renamed it Sweetheart. "Ian, Truth or Dare?" Dan asked as if what he had just done was nothing special and Ian said, "Dare." "I dare you to keep your shirt off for the rest of the day. Not just the game, the WHOLE day." Ian slipped his shirt off over his head and Amy turned her head away. Ian smirked and said, "Come now love, why in the world would you avert your eyes from me?" She smiled to herself and whispered something under her breath so quiet and fast even the speakers didn't catch it. Then, still not looking, she reached over and took Ian's hand. Sinead, who was sitting right next to Amy, had heard her and whispered to me what she said. "She said, 'I don't wanna fall even more in love. You might break my heart again.' Pass it on." I repeated the message to Jonah, who repeated it to Nellie, who repeated it to Madison,who repeated it to Ned,who repeated it to Ted,who repeated it to Reagan,who repeated it to Natalie,who repeated it to Dan,who repeated it to Ian. I expected Ian to overreact and start yelling, but instead he lifted a hand to Amy's chin and tilted her head towards himself. He kissed her, right there and right then, and told her, "I would never." He smiled and she just had to smile back. The whole room cheered and whooped and Dan and Natalie squeezed each others hands till their fingers were purple. It was a great game.

--_TIME WARP_--

Later, after the game, Nellie went and bought us three bottles of red wine and we set some rules for never have I ever. If you have done something, you could choose between removing one article of clothing or chug one glass of red wine. Natalie went first because she was the most experienced. "Never have I ever... kissed Ian." Amy chugged a glass of wine, Ian chugged a glass of wine, Sinead pulled her bra out from under her shirt, and Dan pulled his shirt off over his head. Dan didn't surprise me: it had happened on a dare like, fifteen minutes ago, but I didn't know about Sinead. I would have to ask her about it later. Ian went next, because the statement was about him. "Never have I ever... been sat on by a Holt." Dan, Amy, Nellie, Jonah, Reagan, Madison, me, Ned, Ted, and Sinead all chugged a glass of wine. The Holts elected Reagan to go next. "Never have I ever... had my life on the line." Eyes went to the floor. Ian, Amy, Madison, Ned, Ted, Natalie, and I chugged a glass of wine, Dan took off his right sock, Nellie took off her shirt, Jonah took off his shirt, and Sinead took off her left sock. Dan had his life on the line the most, no question. "Never have I ever... cried or flirted my way out of getting arrested or getting a ticket." Natalie pulled her bra out from under her shirt, Jonah took off his right sock, Amy took off her right sock, and Ted chugged a glass of wine. Ian tilted his head back and forth a little, then took off both his socks. A collective ohhhhhh! echoed through the room. After a few more rounds, Amy was the most drunk, but Nel was the most stupid drunk, and Sinead was over in the corner simultaneously laughing and crying and rocking back and forth. 'SOMEONE' *cough* Ned *cough* said 'never have I ever hit someone with a stick' Nellie was the stupidest drunk, as I said, and she was unhooking her bra from that question (as you might recall, she had taken her shirt off earlier) when Jonah grabbed her hands, re-hooked her bra in one quick motion, and said, "OKAY!!! Never Have I Ever is DONE!" Amy nodded and said, "Yeah, Jonah's right. We have... something else planned."
