The Sandbox [open]

[Chloe]

"God, Sachi, you're getting it all over me!" squealed Aki as her younger sister created havoc in the sandbox. She gave a sigh. She'd been forced to babysit because of their older sister, Hollie, deciding to go out with her friends *all* day, when all she wanted to do was chill out at home with her iPod. But no, she was stuck with Sachi, who was well known for being a trouble-maker.
"Why can't you just have fun, sis?" said Sachi, sticking out a tongue at her. She continued to roll around in the sand, agitating Aki further.

Since most of the kids were getting out of the house anyway, Jaela decided to see what the park in the new town was like. Unfortunately, her two younger brothers, Caden and Jayson had to go along too. Apparently, they wouldn't stop screaming and yelling until they got what they wanted, particularly Caden, Jayson just seemed to hug onto Jaela's leg the entire time.

So as they made it into the park, Jaela being on her new scooter and the boys on their bike and tricycle, they saw that they weren't alone. "Sandbox! Cool!" Jayson squealed, racing his tricycle as fast as he could till he got to the sandbox where he almost got nailed in the head with flying sand. Jaela followed along with Caden over to Jayson, Jaela making sure he was alright while Caden just hopped on into the sandbox joining the little troublemaker in throwing sand at his siblings. "Ahh! Caden! Stop it, you brat!" Jaela screamed, covering her head while Jayson just giggled and entered the sandbox next, just tossing sand in the air, having it land in his hair. "Look! It's raining!" he giggled with his brother, while Jaela riding away from the flying sand rolling her eyes. "Brothers.." she mumbled, still keeping an eye on them, just keeping a fair distance away so she wouldn't be the target anymore.

Sachi stopped momentarily to scrutinise the two boys who had entered her 'territory'. She scrunched her face up and put her hands on her hips, standing over them.
"Hey!" she squeaked. "This is my sandbox!" Aki rolled her eyes, frowning at Sachi.
"Sachi, don't be rude," she said in exasperation. "They can play here if they want to." But Sachi was insistant. She pointed at them both, facing her sister.
"I was here first!" she cried.

The two boys looked back up at the little girl around the same size as Jayson blankly. "So? We're playing her now! So shoo!" Caden perked up, acting as if he were joking, but sound of his voice made it seem like he wasn't, especially when he was taller than this little girl. "Yeah! We are here now. No girls allowed!" Jayson added in, just copying his brother but adding in a toss of sand towards the little girl. "Nice shot, Jayson!" Caden laughed.
"Guys, what are you doing? Stop throwing sand at her!" Jaela perked up, Caden completely ignoring her, while Jayson just stopped and stared. "But its fun!" he giggled. "Not to her it isn't, so stop it!" she argued back, grabbing Caden's wrist before he could throw sand at the little girl as Jayson had. "Don't even think about it."

[Chloe]

Aki stood up, grasping Sachi's shoulders and pulling her back a little.
"I'm sorry about my little sister," she apologised, "she's used to getting what she wants." Sachi kept her face scrunched up, shooting daggers at the boys with her eyes.

Yanking Caden out of the sandbox with all her might, Jaela was able to let him go for he just gave up for now, plopping onto the ground in a pout. "It's okay. He's not normally like this anyway," she pointed over to Jayson in the sandbox seeming to be rolling around in the sand like Sachi had been doing earlier. "It's mostly Caden who causes the most trouble," she pointed to the boy sitting on the ground picking at the grass covered in sand, seeming like he was still pouting. "Jayson just likes to copy what everyone does thinking its all funny." Jaela rolled her eyes after explaining. "I'm the one who wanted to come to the park alone though, but noooo, these two had to come along to bug me." she complained, poking Caden's head, causing him to shrug it off, giving Sachi the dirty look every once in a while.

[Chloe]

Aki nodded, understanding.
"Yeah... I have to look after Sachi because of my older sister going out all day." She gave a sigh as Sachi wriggled out of her grip and ran over to the swings instead. Aki folded her arms, putting a hand to her head, then looked at Jaela. "I'm Aki, by the way."

[Tori]

"Oh. Yeah, my sister normally babysits, but shes out for the day too..she said she needs a break from us." Jaela explained, mocking the word break. Seeing Sachi run over to the swings, Caden couldn't care less, however, Jayson perked his body up from the sandbox, not even bothering to brush himself off, and headed straight to the swings next to Sachi. Only he was swinging on his stomach instead of his bottom. Again, Jaela rolled her eyes, turning back to Aki whom had just introduced herself. "I'm Jaela. How old are you, Aki?"

[Chloe]

Aki gave a small smile as she glanced at Jayson, then looked back at Jaela.
"It's nice to meet you, Jaela. I'm fourteen, you?" Sachi had started a competition with Jayson behind them, trying to see who could get higher on the swing. Aki gave another sigh. She would probably end up hurting herself.

[Tori]

"Really? I'm ten. But I think I've been hanging around my sixteen year old sister too much lately, cause I think I'm starting to get that responsibility curse from her." she giggled. "She's always acting like the second mom since she was like, eleven." Jaela looked over at Jayson, then at Caden still on the ground before looking back up at Aki.

Jayson watched Sachi get higher and higher on the swing and decided himself to copy her next. He situated himself on the swing so that he was sitting on his bottom rather than his stomach and started pumping his legs as hard and fast as he could, until finally reaching the same height as Sachi. "Betcha I can get higher!" he squealed with a giggle, pumping his legs harder.
