Brooklyn took her hand and started to usher her down the stairs before any lightning or thunder began. Thankfully, they had fixed all of the holes that would allow rain to fall in. Once they got to the stairs, she sent Forrest down first to go be with Teagan and looked back at the boys. "Have fun you two." She glanced away from Ryder and smiled at Leaf, she was sure that the message would get through to him. Hope it's perfect. If she was telepathic, maybe her son had taken it up as well.
With that, she walked down the stairs and shut the door. The basement was pretty much sound proof against storms as they were underground. They were also the safest place to be during one, if it got too bad. "Alright girls, get the music started! Lets see some dancing." Brooke was going to try and be up beat for Forrest, but in all reality, she loved to be outside for thunderstorms.
Ryder excitedly got into the living room. It had been a long time since he played with a video game system. Thankfully, the newest ones possible were waiting for him in the living room. "Your mom keeps up to date then? How much of my money is left? Five dollars?" Ry laughed and grabbed two controllers before patting the seat next to him for Leaf to come join. The thunder was starting to roll in, but for now, it was quiet.

Leaf heard his moms message, he sent her a smile thanks mom came his reply before he followed his dad into the living room.
Forrest set the music up, Teagan was already taking her outside clothes off, wearing her dance stuff underneath, Forrest followed suit then hit play on the music, as soon as the music started from the speakers the pair moved in perfect harmony, completing complicated turn sequences and leaps that shouldn't be possible without a Tampoline. As the first track died down, you could see their chests rising and falling, but the second one started, an acro routine, Forrest quickly fell into her element, bending ways that shouldnt be possible.
Leaf sat down next to his dad "yeah she was pretty keen on keeping everything up to date" he laughed softly "Forrests got about 3 mill in her bank, she hasn't touched it, mines down to 1 mill, but we've been locked up since you... you know... so we havent really had a chance to spend it, Ted, you remember ted right? well he hasn't charged us for sweets for years, we always get a bag once a week, and we got mom a gingerbread house, jsut like you used to every year but he didn't charge us" he smiled some then shifted "we never got a chance to close your bank account, the money in there hasn't been touched, and its probably gained some interest in the years"

Brooklyn watched as the two performed together. It was much better than when she had just watched Teagan. Her eyes were wide and interested as she sat on the couch that was downstairs. The dance room alone had cost nearly 500,000. Everything had to be insulated and redone in order to make the room the way it was supposed to be. A big smile plastered her face as she watched in awe. "Wow girls!"
Ryder's jaw dropped when he heard how much they had spent. "Two million? You guys spent that much on the house?" He shook his head but couldn't help but feel happy. "This better be made of gold and last for hundreds of years." He turned on the tv and went through the games that they had. "What do you want to play? Or rather, what types of games do you like? It seems like your mother bought out every damn game in the store."

Forrest shut the music off, out of breath, she sat beside her mom, sipping water "did you like ti mama? i mean really like it?" her eyes were bright and hopeful, teagan was stretching across the room, working on her turn out, Forrest grinned at her mom and leaned her head on her shoulder.
"well not gold, but i got the builders to make every wall floor and ceiling fire proof, we had to get the electrics done, they were pretty badly damaged, new fittings, new furniture, completely gutted the kitchen, we have a conservatory now, Forrests rooms been done up, mine and your old room, and the boiler needed replacing, we're working ont he attic now, its the last oneto be done" he smiled "i like racing games the best, but yes mom went a bit crazy in the game store, and to think, all forrest wanted as another horse stuffed animal" he grinned at his dad

Brooke nodded. "Yeah it was really good. The two of you were amazing together." The thunder was rumbling loud upstairs but there was no sound coming into the basement. She grabbed a cookie and started to eat it as she looked at the two girls. "We have all night, or at least a little while. What would the two of you like to do?" Brooke would leave it up to them as they were the younger ones and what Brooklyn wanted to do, she couldn't, as he was upstairs.
Ryder laughed. "She would do that. I don't think there was a Christmas that I didn't get what I wanted because of her. She grew up in a rich family, your mom, never could get out of that." He shrugged and grabbed one of the racing games before putting it in. It was Mario Kart, a game he believed that nobody was ever too old for.

Forrest glanced up at the ceiling "um..." she thought for a minute, looking over at teagan who shrugged "we could um" she frowned thinking "leaf installed a tv down here, theres a dvd player, we could watch a movie!" she squealed at her idea, Teagan nodding happily.
Leaf grabbed his control "love this game" he said softyl as it started, and soon enough they were racing, he was yoshi, laughing at the funny character ont eh screen as he raced his dad "we've only had her for three, nearly four weeks, but Forrest really has come out of ehr self, shes been so much happier since we got out of that place" he shuddered making himself swerve in the game "i missed you dad"

"Yeah! Which movie do you want?" Brooklyn stayed sprawled out on the couch she was on for a few minutes and then got up. She took off the cushions and started to pull out the couch bed. It was an expensive couch so she knew that the bed would be comfortable. "I'll go get some comforters from upstairs while you guys set up the movie, alright?" Brooklyn smiled and waited for an answer before going up. She'd have to time it just right.
Ryder was Mario and baby Mario. He smiled as he started to win. "You know, I should probably let you win but you've kicked my ass twice now." He looked over at Leaf when the third game ended and heard the loud boom of thunder. He jumped and looked around quickly. "I hate storms. But the house looks wonderful, definitely worth that price."

"um, let's watch" Forrest paused thinking, then her eyes flashed brightly "something scary" she giggled "how about orphan? that films good, Leaf watched it with me before so i wont get too scared" Teagan grinned, and they watched Brooke pull the bed out, her face lighting up "maybe daddy and Leaf will watch with us?" she looked at her mom "will you get uni and my jammies too mama? please?" Teagans bag was already downstairs so she would change down there.
Leaf laughed "maybe i'm letting you win" he said laughing more as the game carried on, he glanced at his dad whent he boom came and frowned "maybe we could get sound proofing in the attic, black out curtains for the skylights, proper man cave? whatcha think?"

Brooke grinned. "Sure ill go get daddy and Leaf... And your other things." She moved up the stairs and opened the door just after a boom. Brooke closed it behind her and made her way to the living room. "Forrest wants to watch Orphan and she requests the men's presence downstairs with us." She looked over at Ryder and Leaf and smiled. They looked happy playing Mario kart. She shook her head and walked up the steps to Forrest's room.
Brooklyn grabbed her light green unicorn and her purple bear, just in case Forrest got scared. She went to her dresser and picked out her pajamas before going to the closet in the hall. The comforters that they had bought for the couches were placed in there. She grabbed the big dark red down comforter and threw about six pillows down the stairs. They were good pillows, each costing 100 dollars a piece. "Take those down!"
"I'd like that. We'll start tomorrow." Ryder was excited for their man cave. "You gotta promise to spend time with me in there though! However, it looks as if we're being demoted downstairs... Which is fine as the storm appears to be coming in full force." He laughed and shut off the game before walking to where the pillows were. He picked up three of the six and locked all of the doors in the house on his way down to the basement.
Once he was down there he looked around. "Wow. This place is definitely different." The couch had a California king bed, meaning it was big enough for at least six people. It had to of cost a fortune.

Forrest and Teagan were runnig about downstairs, getting the dvd set up and rearranging pillows and stuff when Ryder came down, Forrest squealed "daddy!" she giggled and hugged him then tookt he pillows, putting them onto the bed and bouncing about the room happily, Leaf was chatting away to Ryder about the man cave and promising to spend loads of time up there with him, he chucked the pillows at Teagan who yelped and fell onto her back covered in pillows, Forrest jumpned onto her and started tickling
"i'll make some popcorn and get more drinks" Leaf said laughing at his sister and Teagan "you look after the squealing monsters" he said poking his tongue out at teh girls who stuck theres out back as Leaf went upstairs, he moved into the kitchen, getting a new bag of candy for Forrest, knowing she would want it, he got a tray out, made popcorn and put a few bags of chips on the tray, along with cups and two bottles of pop. he then headed downstairs, eating a piece of popcorn as he walked.

Brooklyn hobbled down the stairs with all of the stuff in her hands. She smelled popcorn and took a big whiff, almost falling off of the stairs. She gained her balance back and began walking back downstairs. A big boom of thunder came and she smiled to herself. The rain was falling harder now, hard enough to hear on the ceiling but not downstairs. Thankfully, the scary movie would keep the thunder at bay. She nearly ran into Leaf. "Oops! Sorry." Brooke waited until he was down the stairs before she threw the stuff in her arms, except for the unicorn and pajamas.
"Here Forrest!" There was a bathroom down here so she had no problem locking them in the basement. Brooke walked downstairs and over to the couch where she started to lay out the comforter. When she was done, she puffed up the pillows and laid down on the far end of the couch where Ryder was already laying. "Hey." She snuggled in close to him and pressed her lips to his cheek.
Ryder had laughed when Leaf left him with the screaming girls. He smiled before he jumped on the bed and received a kiss from Brooklyn. "There are children and guests in the room. Behave." He looked up and over at the other three and stopped at Leaf. "Speaking of which, you and Teagan would be cute together."

Leaf laughed, walking carefully down the stairs, he set the tray down and pointed to the bathroom for Teagan to go change, whilst she was changing, Forrest went to her mom and got her unicorn and jammies, then waited for Teagan to finish int he bathroom, once she was done forrest darted in, and Teagan settled on the couch. Forrest emerged a few minutes later, climbed up next to her mom and dad and Teagan and sat happily with the remotes in her hands.
Leaf stared at his dad, when to the lockers down there and took out a soft pair of lounge pants and a loose t-shirt, he usually wore them to dance but they were clean adn he couldnt be bothered getting his pjs, so he changed, when he came abck fromt eh bathroom and his dad said him and teagan would be cute together, he looked at teagan who blushed scarlet then he turned red too "shh dad" he mumbled, sitting ont he bed beside teagan, Forrest was giggling away quite happily at them before she put the movie on, Leaf turned the lights down so they were dim and handed out drinks and snacks, he gave forrest the plastic cup with a lid as he knew what she was like when she watched a movie, and last thing they needed was pop everywhere. she snuggled down against her moms side, her unicorn cuddled to her chest and her cup in her hand as she sipped from it

Brooklyn laughed at Teagan and Leaf but didn't say anything. She didn't want to make them anymore embarrassed. When the lights dimmed, she smiled and got cozy. Forrest was cuddled into her so she put one arm around her as Ryder laid on his side with one arm over her and his head propped up by his elbow. She pulled the blankets up over everyone and grabbed some popcorn before the movie started.
Ryder was enjoying himself. "You both blush, you sit next to her and you dim the lights! Told you so." He knew that he was embarrassing them but that was what a dad was supposed to do. At least a cool one like Ryder anyway. He stayed close to Brooklyn, glad to have her in his arms again. The hand that was wrapped around her moved up and moved her hand to his mouth, taking all of the popcorn from her.
The movie was on now, so he knew he had to quiet down and be silent. Brooke squealed at him when he took the popcorn. "Hey!!" She grumbled and went to grab some more before eating some. She kept one arm around Forrest and held her close as they all laid on the bed. It was her first time seeing this movie. The storm rolled on upstairs, the thunder and lightning becoming more frequent as it went on.

Forrest watched the movie, shifting closer to her mom and resting her head on her moms shoulder, she jumped at some of the bits, giggled a little and ate popcorn between drinking from her cup, her eyes were glued to the tv, her unicorn held tight.
Teagan looked up at Leaf who was now scarlet, she smiled sweetly at him and when the movie started she slowly shifted closer to him, he put his arm around her and smiled down at her and she blushed again, trying to stifle a giggle, he gave her shoulder a squeeze and handed her some popcorn, she ate it, chewing away happily, her blush not going down, Leaf kept hearing his dads words about how they both blushed, which didn't allow his cheeks to cool off..
A littlw bit into the movie, Forrests hand moved to her moms hair and started curling her fingers in the bit near her, her eyes began to close, her body snuggled in close and warm.

Brooklyn continued to eat cookies and popcorn. Most of it was gone on their end of the couch because all three of them had been chowing down. After the food was done, she felt someone playing with her hair which made her look down. Brooke smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead before cuddling back into Ryder who was holding her close now. Under the blankets his hand was running and up and down her leg but he wasn't concerned because they were under completely different ones than anyone else and it was really dark down there.
