‘Dad! Come watch me!’’ Emerald said doing a new dance she

learnt in  school, ‘Wow!’’ Her dad Tommy exclaimed. ‘Blue, come! One day you’ll be good enough to dance like this’’ Tommy said joyfully. ‘No, I really  don’t like dancing. I can rather spend my time ... Look their is a duck! I’ll get bread to feed it!’’ Announced Blue ignoring  Tommy and walked away.

Emerald looked at Blue who was busy looking at a hummingbird fly the the trees and eat bread which Blue had given her. Emerald walked over to Blue and said ‘The bird so dosen’t like bread’’ Emerald said. ‘’Well according to my books they do. I have many many many reasons but you are not interested in animals so you won’t understand.’’ Blue said trustfully. ‘Uh! But I got 10/10 in t-the fashion competition. ‘Being good at fashion does not mean you will be good at....  knowing if birds like bread’’ sneered Blue. ‘’But still’’ said Emerald  walked inside their home.

‘’Emerald, Shark! Blue and Eight come to dinner!’’ said Tommy. ‘Dad? Can I ask you a question?’’ Shark asked doubtfully. ‘Sure!’’ Tommy said gladly because his son Shark never asks him questions. ‘’You know Blue and Eight moved in.... Yea. Isn’t this house to crowded for 5 people to live in? Maybe They both should leave. Its too squashy. You care about Emerald and me right?’’ Shark said hurriedly. ‘’Shark, Don’t you see they don’t have a home? Plus we have plenty of room here’’ Tommy said.  ‘Really?’’  Emerald asked. ‘We only have 2 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms! And only two beds! And we have to take turns sleeping on the floor?’’ Emerald said trying to be smart.  ‘’Emerald! Don’t be mean’’  hissed Eight. ‘Yea! Emerald is correct’’ declared Shark. ‘’Stop!’’ Blue said with a bag of bread in her hands. ‘’Just eat, we have got 2 pieces of bread and  4 eggs and um lets see 2 cucumber’’ Tommy said. ‘’I want egg, bread and cucumber! Its saved!’’ Shark said. ‘No we all need to eat’’ Tommy said.  ‘I ‘ll sort it out’’ He said.  ‘’Okay Emerald you get a bread and a egg, Shark you get a egg and a cucumber, Blue you have a egg and a cucumber, Eight you get a Bread, And i’ll have egg’’ Tommy said. ‘’Ewww! How do you expect me to eat a Cucumber with Eggs!’’ Yelled shark. ‘’Well, Blue is eating it’’ Tommy said. Shark grabbed his plate and sat furiously. ‘’Um, I think we need to get more groceries.’’ Blue said. ‘Okay then here, all of you get $3.20 each.’’ Tommy said. ‘’Oh! We always get bad stuff’’ Emerald said snatching the money. ‘’Emerald don’t be mean to Tommy’’ Blue and Eight said.

When they got there  they shopped a few items, Shark got help with his maths. They were excited when they got home. Blue was most happy.  ‘’Okay put your things in the fridge.’’ Tommy said. Emerald bought a muffin for $2.50 and a lolly pop for 70 cents. Shark bought A Cookie for $2 and bought a 5 pieces of sushi for $1.20, Eight bought 4 apples, 3 mango’s and a lolly pop for $3.20 and Blue bought bird seeds, and 5 peaches for $3.20 cents. ‘’Emerald you wasted $3.20 for food that will only last 24 hours!’’ Blue said.  ‘’But you bought Bird seeds for $2.50!’’ Emerald said. ‘’But the budgie will be hungry and plus,I bought fruits’’ Blue said very truthfully. Emerald bit her muffin and before they reached home the pink frosted muffin was finished. ‘’Told you’’ Whispered Blue to Emerald.

‘’So. Shall we play?’’ Shark asked Eight.  ‘Um, Okay then!’’ Eight said freely knowing that Shark would not ever ask to  play unless he had a plan to make Eight loose, but Eight always wins even if he  purposely runs slow he always wins so Eight just went with it.

‘’Okay when I say go we both run and get those bags and run back and who ever goes first in  the ULTIMATE winner’’  notified Shark having a very mean plan in his mind. While Eight clearly knew that Shark had another very mean plan in his mind and Eight did not mind a bit. ‘’Okay ready steady go!’ yelled shark already half way through the line cause he ran before he had said ‘Go!’ Eight ran and like always won once again with Shark feeling ashamed as always...
