I look at the world and I notice it's turning...

Jude
"But I caught it!" I protested as blood started leaking out of my arm. Jonas gave me the towel he had been holding to his shoulder, and sighed "Good idea, bikes it is"

Marshall: I head out into the porch and get Mat and Myrah's bike. Lucky for them Myrah wanted the same bike as Mat. She reluctantly hands one of the twins her bike. "Be gentle with it..." she says.

Jude
"What are we supposed to do with that thing?" I ask simply

Myrah: "Daddy, do I have to?!" I ask, tears in my eyes. They're gonna kill it! "Yes babe, don't you wanna help your friends?" I pout and look at the twins. "You get on and put one foot on the pedals an another on the ground."

Jude
Friends? We're friends? "Alright, what's a pedal?" Jonas lifts each of us onto a bike "And their off!" I try to go forward, but topple over. The bike was fine, but I skin my knee

Myrah: I squeak and contemplate checking on my bike before going to kid instead. His brother, who's been able to wobble for a foot before falling into a bush, looks over as he struggles to untangle his clothes. "Aw, you got a booboo!" I say.

Jude
"Yes, I did get a bloody booboo" I sigh, standing up and brushing myself off "Can I try again?"

Myrah: "If you promise not to murder my bike..." I say. "Although I think it'll do more damage to you than you will to it."

Jude
"Cool!" I tried getting on it again, and ended up falling off. Again. Jonas laughed and picked me up, placing me on it. This time I actually pedled part way down the street before faceplanting in the road

Gabe: "I can't get out!" I whine as my eyes fill with tears. Oh no, the bush was gonna eat me! "Help! I don't wanna be bush food!"

Jude
"Duuudeee...." I whined, grabing my mouth "There go my two front teeth!" Jonas runs over, and grimaces at the blood "Those were baby teeth, right?" "Yeah, but it hurts..." "Maybe you should stick with knife throwing"

Jonas
I then fish his brother out of the bush, laughing quietly to myself

Myrah: "Daddy, can I throw knives?" "Nooo! It's enough that you keep trying to give Daddy a heart attack when you walk around with your arm disconnected. I guess I'll have to let you guys play circus then..."

Jude
"Cool!" But it came out more like "Coomfl" with my mouth spurting blood "Lets go!"

Joyce: I stick out my arm. "Not so fast! I can't let you run around like that! Myrah, go get me a wet washcloth."

Jonas
"I'll go get the kid's teeth" I sighed, picking them off of the ground as Myrah went to get a washcloth. Between the knee, the arm, and this, that kid was accident prone. How does he survive as a knife thrower?!

Joyce: "The tooth fairy's gonna have a busy night," I sigh. Myrah has me the washcloth and I press it to the boy's mouth.

Jude
"Mf moof merrwy?" I ask, my mouth full of washcloth "Whaf myf tha moof merrwy?"

Joyce: "The tooth fairy?" I ask after his brother translates. "She's that lady that pays you for your teeth. You mean you don't know about her?"

Jude
I shake my head, then grimace in pain "Nwof..."

Joyce: "Well she's coming to visit tonight, although you must be asleep!" When I'm done, I gently lift up his face to get a better look at his teeth. "Ok, you pass inspection. I guess. You guys can go play."

Jude
I give her a thumbs up "Thanks, lady" I grin "And the tooth fairy sounds pretty cool" I yelled as I ran inside, barely avoiding smacking into the door frame

Jonas
"Speaking of a circus, Marshall..." I began, knowing he knew what I was talking about

Hello??

Marshall: I sigh and scratch my head. "Damn, they must be getting pummeled by the media now. As if it wasn't bad enough that we were almost shut down last month."

Myrah: "Hey, that knife trick was pretty cool," I say. "But you know what'd be cooler? If you could do that with your feet!"

Jude
I just wordlessly stared at her, then ran off to the kitchen "DUDE, I GOTTA try that!"

Jonas
I grimace "So what do we do? Something tells me they know how I dissapeared..." I raised an eyebrow with a small chuckle, then sobered again "Do we need more members? Would that help?"

Marshall: "Well on the brightside, the publicity might attract more people to the Cirque... But we should probably start advertising for more people as well. You never know what kind of talent we could find."
Gabe: I frown. "I-I don't know if you should try that," I say just as Myrah says ,"Aw, let me try first! I bet you can't even stand on your hands yet!"
