Money. Fame. Power. We all want it, but is it worth losing your family?

It was a normal and peaceful day in the house of the Smith family. Rayshaun was in his room playing his Xbox, Roc and Prodigy were asleep in their rooms, and Princeton was putting on his shoes to go out and get the mail. Suddenly, the house phone rang stopping him in his tracks. "Hello?" he answered with curiousity. "Is this Prodigy?" a woman's voice responded with a rather snappy attitude.

"Um, no. This is his brother,"

"Well is he there?"

"Yeah, he's here but he's asleep right now-"

"Hm. He should be tired from all that partying he did last night when he was suppose to be babysitting his little cousin!"

"I'm sorry, who is this?"

"I'm Trina. His girlfr-, no. On second thought.... his ex-girlfriend!"

Princeton smiled to himself, it was no surprise that there was a girl calling the house about Prodigy. He was a player ever since fourth grade. Girls would draw pictures saying "Me+Prodigy Forever!" with a bunch of hearts and kiss marks on them; he wouldn't even give them a glance unless they were drop dead gorgeous like Elaine Weschester from the third grade. "Okay," he said, "Well do you want me to tell him anything?"

"Yeah. Tell him we're over, and tell him I said I hope him and his skank enjoy taking more pics for the paparazzi,"

With that she hung up. "Wait," he said to himself with the phone still in his hand, "Did she say 'paparazzi'?" Princeton knew what that meant, if the paparazzi was involved then that means Prodigy got too buck wild last night, so if they took pictures of it then that means its on almost every magazine,twitter,tumblr,facebook, everywhere! Which ment mom and dad would find out!

       Princeton put the phone down and went to the mailbox, Please don't tell me he did something completely stupid!, Princeton thought as he reached inside the mailbox to get the mail and saw the People Magazine. Scared of what he might see he grabbed the magazine last, and there it was, right on the cover, Prodigy Smith's Wild Night in huge letters. Princeton marched back into the house up to Ray's room and stood infront of the T.V. while he was playing the game.

"He did it again," Princeton said.

"Prodigy?" Ray replied.

       Princeton nodded his head, "How bad is it?" Ray asked pausing the game getting ready for what was about to happen.

"The cover tells it all, I didn't even read it myself," said Princeton as he threw the magazine on Ray's lap. Ray looked at the cover and saw Prodigy getting a twerk while drinking out of a red cup, which he knew was not full of Kool-Aid! Ray sighed and opened the magazine and the pictures got worse, Prodigy was tounge kissing a girl in one picture, and in another he was on the couch at the club looking like he was wasted. Ray started to read the magazine,"Prodigy Smith, son of Kacey and Dierrion Smith, was seen last night getting 'Body 2 Body' with a large amount of young women and even french-kissed one of them. But that's not the exciting part!"

         Ray looked at Princeton with the "Are you kidding me?" face and continued reading,"Prodigy was almost involved in a fight as well!" Ray stopped reading and layed back on the bed. "Mom and Dad are going to kill us," he said.

"How are we suppose to prove we can handle ourselves if Prodigy keeps screwing up?" Princeton said.

"I think I'll go have a talk with our brother!"

        Ray marched into Prodigy's room with Princeton right behind him, Ray opened the door and saw Prodigy wide awake in his white beater and shorts sitting on his bed. "Haven't you heard of knocking?" Prodigy asked.

"Haven't you heard of keeping yourself under control?" Ray said as he threw him the magazine. Prodigy looked at the cover and chuckled,"Last night was so live! Ya'll sould have been there." he said putting the magazine on the floor. "Prodigy what is up with you?" Princeton asked, "You know just because we have money doesn't mean go full on crazy! Mom and Dad said that they-"

"They were going to leave us at the house for the whole year while they went to go work on the movie because they feel like we are old enough to have responsibility, blah blah blah blah! Okay I get it!"

"Obviously you don't! Going out here doing things like that," Ray said pointing to the magazine,"Like we're not already under the microscope!"

"Then you got some 'Tina' chick with a nasty attitude calling the house asking for you!" Princeton said.

"Ugh! I'm getting tired of her thirsty ass," Prodigy said.

"And we're getting tired of your bullshit!" Ray said.

"Like this hasn't happend before! Why ya'll trippin'?"

"Because you-" Ray said but was cut off by a girls voice coming from Prodigy's bathroom,"Baby I can't find the mouthwash," she said.

"Look in the third cabnit sweety," Prodigy responded.

"I can't find the cabnit, all I see is three mirrors over the sink,"

"Those are the cabnits sweetheart!"

"Oh! Okay!"

     Princeton and Ray darted their eyes from the bathroom to Prodigy,"Please tell me you didn't sleep with her," Ray said, "Yeah I did, so?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Look Ray, its not in the magazine so no one knows. Let's just leave it at that," Princeton said.

           Ray and Princeton left and went to Ray's room. They were pissed, their mom(an actress) and their dad(a writer/musician) went to Detroit,Michigan to film a movie and left the boys at home for the first time. Usually if their parents went to do a movie they left them with a nanny or took them with them, but since the boys were now 16, exept Roc, they thought the boys could handle themselves. So they made a deal with the boys,"If you guys don't get into any trouble while we're gone," their mom said,"Then we will give you the chance to do more things like going to parties and award shows without us." It wasn't hard for the boys, Roc mainly kept to himself, Princeton was always focused on his vocal and dance classes(Which they all took.), and Ray mainly just played games and hung out with his brothers and their celebrity friends. Prodigy was the problem! He always partied way too hard, always was on the verge of getting in trouble with the law and always snuck girls in the house. Their parents always would get on Prodigy for his bad behavior, but he was so manipulative that he never got on punishment.

"What are we going to do with him?" Princeton asked sitting in Ray's purple bean bag chair.

"Man, I don't even know!"
