A.N- I'm back! I know I said I would put up a longer part for you the day before I left but it was a pretty hectic day and I didn't get a chance to, so I'll try and do a longer one now!

The next week went by quickly and quietly, and by the Friday morning Virgil's hair was looking back to its normal colour. John's bedroom walls were blue once again, and everyone had done a pretty good job of hiding anything caffeine related from Virgil.

Scott was in Jeff's office talking to one of his old college friends on the phone, while Alan, Gordon, John and Virgil were in the living room having a games console tournament. Both Alan and Gordon had lost their matches, leaving John and Virgil to battle it out for the title of the champion.

"I thought they were supposed to be the quiet, calm ones?" Alan whispered to Gordon, as they both watched their elder brothers in amazement. Virgil was jumping up and down on his chair kicking John and he rapidly pressed the buttons, and John was ranting and raving about how Virgil was cheating while he kicked him back.

"I'm starting to get on Al let's go get some grub" Gordon said finally, dragging himself off the chair.

"I think there's still some chocolate in the fridge" Alan thought out loud, getting up.

"WHAT!?" John shouted, jumping up off the chair. The controller flew out of his hand and hit Virgil in the side of the head.

"I won!" he cried, jumping up, ignoring the fact that the left side of his face was starting to turn red.

"Chocolate!" John cried, running into the kitchen and knocking both Alan and Gordon over in the process.

Alan brushed himself off as he stood up and looked over at Virgil, who was cheerleading for himself. "Virg I think there's a bottle of coke in the kitchen" he said, and dived onto the sofa just in time, saving himself from being knocked over a second time.

"Well" Gordon said finally. "That was interesting"

Scott walked in moments later looking both confused and shocked. "Should I be worried about the fact that those two are rampaging the kitchen and you two are acting normal?"

"The time we all need to panic is when John turns down chocolate and Virgil turns down fizzy pop" Gordon answered.

Scott sighed. "Maybe I better re think my decision then" he groaned.

"What decision?" Alan asked suspiciously, crossing his arms.

"Well..." Scott started, "The girl I was talking to on the phone, Kirsty, I'm gonna take her out to dinner tonight"

"What? And leave all of us here?" Gordon asked, feeling the anger bubble inside him. Scott was supposedly the responsible one, the one who always followed the rules, and here he was explaining his plans to sneak out to the mainland to meet some girl without his dad's permission!

"Well...yeah." Scott saw the looks his two youngest brothers were giving him and swallowed. "Oh come on guys, just as a one off?"

"No way Scott! If any of us wanted to do something like this you'd give us an hours lecture!" Alan shouted.

"Alan this is important to me! Cut me some slack will you?"

"You can go Scott..." Gordon sighed. "But Captain Caffeine is in charge"

"Agreed. Thanks Gordo" Scott said and ran off into the kitchen to explain everything to John and Virgil.

"What?" Alan thundered once Scott had gone. "That's it?"

"Calm down will you! Sure, we'll let old Scottie go out, but not before we play a little prank on him" Gordon explained gleefully.

"I was hoping you'd say something like that. What's in mind?" Alan asked.

"One word little bro. One word."

"Which is?"

"Laxatives" Gordon grinned.

Alan's face lightened up and they both stood there in grinning silence for a few moments.

"For Christ's sake Virg! That's it, I'm drinking this for you!" Scott's voice could be heard from the kitchen.

"Quick! Knock something over, make a loud noise, anything!" Gordon hissed.

Alan looked around the room quickly, in search of anything that could be knocked over. His eyes set on the television, and he quickly ran to the other side of the room and pushed the set off its table. It landed on the floor with a crash and Alan yelled out in pain to add to the noise.

Scott came running in to see what had happened, leaving John and Virgil to discuss what they had just been told.

"That's so unfair! Why should he be allowed to go to the mainland?" John moaned. "Virg what are you doing?"

"Quick! Put this in the coca cola, before he gets back!" Virgil said, throwing the bottle of laxatives over to John.

"Evil Virg, pure evil" John said, shaking his head, but still emptied some of the contents into Virgil's bottle of caffeine induced drink. "Someone's coming, quick!" he panicked, throwing the bottle back into the cupboard and following Virgil outside.

Gordon skidded to a halt at the kitchen worktop and spared no time. Throwing the cupboard doors open he quickly reached for the plastic bottle and unscrewed the lid. Doing the same with the cola-cola, Gordon then tipped in almost half of the bottle. Sniggering, he screwed both lids back on and placed the laxatives bottle back into its cupboard.

"Hey, it's only Gordon in there, come on" Virgil said, dragging John into the kitchen.

Scott walked in seconds later supporting Alan, who was faking a limp after the television set 'fell' on his foot. "Right" he said, setting Alan down on a chair. He picked up the bottle of coca-cola and drunk it all in one. "Ugh...Virgil this stuff is flat, how can you drink it?"

There was a moment of silence between the five brothers and then Scott went red in the face and darted for the bathroom. John, Virgil, Gordon and Alan all burst into laughter, and then looked at each other in confusion.

"Why are you two laughing?" Alan asked John and Virgil.

"Well we put laxatives in the coke...but why are you two laughing?" John asked.

Alan looked at Gordon who swallowed his laughter. "So did we"

John pulled out the half empty bottle out of the cupboard. "He's gonna be in there for a while"

"Tracy laxatives...as gentle as a rabbit, makes you crap like a horse!" Virgil shouted before falling into a fit of maniacal laughter.

"Shh" Gordon whispered, with the phone to his ear. "Hi erm is that Kirsty? Yeah well err...I'm Gordon, Scott's brother? I think he may have to cancel your date tonight..."

"He's having a few 'toilet troubles' Alan added. Gordon burst out laughing and hung up.

A.N- There we have it! Chapter number 12! Hope you all enjoyed it, although I feel a bit mean for doing that to Scott...ah well he'll get over it! Please reveiw!
