Cheaper By the Dozen ( )

Postby Havenxxx on Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:37 pm

You live in a small country town with your 11 siblings and your parents. Your mother is a writer and your father works as a football coach. You and your siblings get along fairly well and other than the money shortage you have a pretty good life. But that all changes once your dad gets a huge offer to become a football coach for a big highschool. This highschool is in a whole different state and you will be going to a new school in a big city. You know you will be made fun of but you still will be forced to go. Your family will now have more money but everyone seems to have a negative personality change. No one seems to care about eachother or talk to eachother. There's constant fighting and your dad is never around since he got his job. On top of all of that your mom just went on tour for her new published book. Your dad has called up your older siblings that have already moved out to come and help out but most of them bring their boy/girlfriend and they are too busy to help out. With all of the chaos and fighting will you still be able to make your family happy like it used to be?

Rules:
-You arent perfect
-If you are over 18 then you will be the ones that have come to help out
-If the spots for the 12 kids are full or you want to be someone else like a bf/gf then you can
-Don't act like your perfectly happy with moving and all
-Romance, cursing, violence is allowed to an extent

Appearance:

Personality: Justin is sort of shy if you don't know him, but otherwise is very fun to be with. He doesn't exactly like his older siblings, since he is always compared to them, but he gets along well with his younger brothers and sisters. Justin hated moving since he had been with his friends since he was little, and now he holds a little grudge against his dad for taking the new job.

Name: Phoenix Baker
Age[5-21]: 17
Appearance: Image
Personality: Phoenix hides behind a mean facade now. She is mean and sarcastic, and scares away everyone from getting to know her. But if you can break through her facade, and get to know her, you'll realize she's just a scared girl who wants nothing more than to find someone to love her.

>_< my edit button isn't working.

Name: Skylar Baker
Age[5-21]:5
Appearence: Image
Personality: Being the youngest Baker child, Skylar has been the one to always get clothes from her older siblings and never really get anything new since of their family's money problems. Because of that she tends to sneak into her older siblings room's and steal their clothes, money, etc. She can be annoying and bratty but she never gets into trouble because of how innocent her parents think she is. Skylar hates the idea of moving but likes that now she will be getting her own stuff and still be able to steal from her siblings. She is quick and sneaky but one of her weaknesses is that she is tiny and easily hurt by her sisters which oftens happens. Skylar has one small pet frog named Green and a two foot long snake named Rainbow. She loves hiding her pets in her sisters beds and in their stuff.

Name: Holly Baker
Age[5-21]:14
Appearence:Image
Personality:Holly is the drama queen,fashion lover of the family. She thinks she is better than everyone and that she deserves more than them. She is usually checking out boys if she isn't staring at herself in the mirror. She threatens Skylar alot to get her to steal her siblings money and give it to her which works most of the time. Holly loves desinger clothes but has none which is why she has been trying to save up her money. This hasn't been working as much as the stealing her siblings money is so she usually does that more often. Holly's favorite color is pink and she is obsessed with cutting out models and pictures from magazines and then gluing them all over the walls in the house.

Name: Alice Baker
Age: 14
Appearence:
Image
Personality: Alice is shy, and prefers to be in her room rather than with her siblings. She's very bookish, and loves to sing and draw, though she doesn't show her siblings her drawing because they are quite wierd and gore-filled. She has a passion for the band AFI, and will randomly quote their song lyics when she feels the need. The only person in the family that she likes is Justin, but that doesn't mean she's close to him. If anything, she's built a wall around herself to keep her siblings out.

[your in. everyone can start.]

Holly threw her last bag into the moving truck that was parked outside the family's house. She sat down on the lawn looking up at the house that she'd lived in her entire life. She didn't want to move and leave her friends but the one and only plus was that maybe she'd be able to stop having to get Skylar to steal her older sisters money for her. She took Alice's iPod which she had gotten Skylar to steal for her and put the earphones into her ear as she scrolled through the songs. They were all to goth for her but she found Disenchanted by MCR which was one that she kinda liked and hit play.

Alice sat on the porch, clutching her art book as if it would save her and stop her from having to move, singing 'Summer Shudder' under her breath. Someone had taken her iPod again, which was doing her head in. She was in the mood to listen to AFI and Alkaline Trio, and now she had to make do with just singing the song.

Pushing her hair out of her dark green eyes, she flipped open the sketchbook and pulled a pencil from her pocket, where she continued one of her drawings. It wasn't what you'd call pretty. It was sort of grusome.

"Off with their heads.." Alice muttered under her breath as she sketched. It suited the picture. She'd drawn the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland using the Vorpal Blade Alice had fought the Jaberwock with to slice off her head. In this one, her head was still half attatched to her neck, and she'd drawn blood everywhere.

Sighing, she closed the sketchbook and slid the pencil back into her pocket, wishing it was raining. Alice had an odd habit of walking in the rain wearing nothing but a t-shirt and jeans, even going bare-footed a few times, and singing AFI's 'Silver and Cold'. It drove her parents mad.

She supposed that was why she did it.

Krissy side-stepped as people walked passed her with their bags of clothes and other junk. Her eyes shifted back towards their house, it was a bit small but she liked it. Her lips moved into a small frown as she looked at the rather large moving vehicle that idled in their drive way.
Her eyes glanced around for Phoenix, her main intrest of the family, and when she didnt see her, she sighed. Then her unusually black eyes fixed on her slightly younger sister. Holly had been rocking away to something next to the truck, a small ipod resting in her hands. Krissy rolled her eyes, unconcered at the fact it was actually Alice's.

Phoenix stood on the grass, barefooted. She was shouting at her parents as the shoved the last of her suitcases into the moving truck. She swore wildly as they walked back into the house before sitting down, furious. She looked over at Holly and saw the ipod in her hand. She slipped her black flip flops on and walked up to Holly. "Give me Alice's ipod, now," she hissed violently, giving Holly her coldest glare. It would scare anyone into doing what she told them to do.

Skyar stomped over to Phoenix and Holly. She giggled when she saw Alice's iPod in Holly's hands. Alice was the easiest to steal from and Skylar had even gotten a doll from Holly so she was happy working for her.
"Phoenix get up right now and move my bags into the car!" She ordered as she placed her small hands on her hips.

Holly rolled her eyes and looked up at Phoenix. She took out the ears phones and ripped them apart, breaking them. She threw the iPod at Phoenix but it hit Skylar instead. She shrugged and picked up one of her Cosmo Girl magazines. "Get away from me you goth bitch," She said to Phoenix, not bothering to look up at her.

Phoenix glared and spoke threateningly, "No way. You move your own stuff into the car!" She didn't care if Skylar was her youngest sister. She hated the brat. She turned her glare back to Holly and looked at her through narrowed eyes. "Don't you dare call me a goth bitch, you little brat," she hissed. She gathered Alice's ipod and walked over to Alice. She handed the ipod to her and took out her own. "Holly broke your ear phones. Use mine," she spoke in a somewhat decent voice. She handed Alice back her ipod and her headphones. She walked away and opened the car door and got in. She slammed it shut after her, locking it and rolling down the window.

"Don't you dare call me a goth bitch, you little brat," Holly mimicked her as she rolled her eyes and got up. She grabbed her stack of magazines, small mirror and lipgloss as she walked out to the car. She pulled on the door but it was locked. "Open the door," She said to Phoenix.

"Thank you," Alice said quietly, inserting the ear phones and turning the iPod on, breathing a sigh of relief when Matt Skiba's voice flooded her brain.
To her, Alkaline Trio's 'Help Me' was a fitting song for this moment, though she had no idea why. She started to sing quietly, regretting even more leaving her (few) friends behind. They were supposed to be starting a band with Alice as vocals, but she had been told they were moving before they got the chance.
Alice hated her parents for that.
