Sam's P.O.V
I had the TV remote control in my hand, changing the channels, when I heard Zoey whining over her phone. I don't know what was up with her now. If she wasn't admiring any Korean guys on her phone and crying over them because she would never be their girlfriend, then I don't know what she could be whining about.
"Can you please stop doing that?" I asked, turning to look at her. "You sound like a puppy, you know?"
"Are you seeing this right now?" Zoey asked.
I rolled my eyes. She completely ignored my statement. I shook my head and went back to looking at the TV and changing the channels.
"So, not fair," Zoey continued to complain.
"What now?" I asked as I looked at her.
Zoey looked at me and I saw her cheeks blush.
"What's up, Zoey? You've been complaining about who knows what for hours now."
"It's nothing. Just ignore me." She went back to looking at her phone.
"It's hard to do so when you're talking like that."
"Sorry."
I went back to tapping at the remote control when I finally found myself at the sports channel. I noticed the news sports man was now focused on baseball. I got a little interested when I heard the baseball teams, Lotte Giants and LG Twins.
"Oh, looks like LG Twins won," I said.
Zoey now looked up at the screen. For some reason that I can't explain, she gasped.
"What now?" I asked again.
She looked at me and at the same time pointed her finger towards the TV. "Those are the same teams EXO and the boys went to watch, right?" she asked.
"Ummm, ya," I said shrugging my shoulders. "What's the problem?"
Zoey went back to looking at her phone and she let out a cry. I wanted to be shocked but instead, I raised an eyebrow.
I finally decided to take her phone and when I did, she didn't fight to take it back. She was still crying. I shook my head. She was dramatic for sure.
I looked at her phone and I saw she was on Instagram. She was looking at photos of EXO and my two brothers at the baseball game, some with their fans. There were plenty of photos of them. Now I realised what she was up to this entire time.
"Seriously? Even when you're here, you still want to feel like you're with them, don't you?" I asked.
"What do you think?" Zoey lifted her legs up on the couch and folded her arms. She looked like a child.
I smiled and handed her back her phone. I went on to change the channel until I found the one I was looking for.
"I wonder what's taking Christine and Lee so long," I said. "The movie is about to start."
All of the sudden, Collins came in the lounge.
"I heard a puppy just now," said Collins. "I thought the noise came from here."
I looked up at Collins and so did Zoey. I laughed.
"What's so funny?" Collins asked.
"There is no puppy, Collins," I said. "It's Zoey that sounded like a puppy a while ago."
Collins gave Zoey a questioning look. "Really?"
"Ya, it was me," said Zoey. "Sorry if I disturbed you." She quickly went back to looking at her phone.
"Let me guess, she's on some social media app looking at pictures of EXO, Mike and Daniel, right?"
"Right," she answered instead.
Collins shook his head. "Typical."
"Are you still working?" I asked him.
"No, I was just trying to relax for a little bit. I've had a long day."
"The night's still young, why don't you join us for a movie? Lee and Christine have gone to fetch some popcorn from the kitchen downstairs."
"Really?" Collins had an eyebrow raised. "Why bother the cooks downstairs for popcorn?"
I chuckled and at the same time gave a shrug. I also thought it was way out of proportion. Let's just see if they manage to pull it off. Which hopefully, they will.
"So, what movie are you watching?" Collins asked, looking at the TV screen. "I hope it's not one of those Korean romantic movies."
"No, as a matter of fact, it's one of TOP's action movies," I said.
"That's interesting. I might just join you. That's if Zoey doesn't mind."
"Oh my goodness!" Zoey exclaimed still looking at her phone. "These guys even went out for pizza and had twenty large sized pizzas!"
"She won't mind," I said giving Collins a smile.
Just as Collins joined us on the couch, sitting right next to me, there came a sound from the elevator and Christine and Lee appeared in the lounge with two large silver bowls of popcorn. They each carried a bowl.
"Wow, you really did pull it off," I said.
"Yep, it really wasn't that hard to begin with," said Lee.
"You're joining us for the movie, Collins?" Christine asked.
"Ya, why not? At least it's an action movie," said Collins.
Lee and Christine soon joined us on the couch. There were a only a few minutes left till the movie started.
"I think you should put that phone away, Zoey," I said. "The movie is about to start."
"Wait a minute," said Zoey still staring at her phone and this time she looked really alert.
"What now?" Christine asked.
"These boys are up to something. It's like they had some bet."
"So?" Lee asked.
"Mike just posted something on Twitter and it looks like they are about to do something crazy."
"And what should we do about it?" I asked. "They are having fun as usual. I don't think we have to interfere."
"But aren't you worried? I mean, they can be up to something."
"Of course they are, Zoey. So what if they placed a bet? We can't do anything now. Let them have fun. They are boys after all."
"I agree," said Collins. "Let them have a wild time for a change. Every guy needs that once in a while."
"Well, I seriously think I should keep an eye on them on social media," said Zoey.
I grabbed her phone from her hands and when she tried to get it back, I passed it over to Collins who passed it on to Lee. She quickly switched it off and handed it over to Christine who put it aside.
"Why did you do that for?" Zoey asked.
"You're only trying to see what the boys are up to because you want to see EXO," I said. "And for goodness sake, we all planned to watch this movie together, so sit back and relax."
"Fine. I guess you're right."
I smiled at her as the movie started and Lee passed me the bowl of popcorn. Zoey was taking this a little too far. I should be the worried one because my brothers were out there and I had no clue of what's going on. But I wasn't going to ruin their night knowing that they were just having fun.
I just hope that whatever they are up to wouldn't get them into trouble. Which I know they won't.
But it was pretty obvious that they were up to something really ridiculous right now.

Mike's P.O.V
"Are you going to tell us what's in those shopping bags?" Chanyeol asked as he looked back at us from the front seat.
"No," said Daniel. "You will have to wait till later."
"I just can't wait to see your place though," I said excitedly. I felt like a little boy going to Disney Land.
"We're going to have so much fun," said Suho.
"And at least you get to play out what we have for you since you lost the bet," said Baekhyun.
"You don't have to remind us," said Kai in the backseat.
I couldn't help but smile. I had a peek in the bag that laid on my lap and my smile soon turned into a grin.
After we had pizza, we went to the mall. Daniel, Chen, Lay and I went to buy the stuff for the bet while the others went around window shopping. I told the others to keep Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun and Suho distracted so that they wouldn't see which shop we had gone to to buy what we needed.
We soon found ourselves in front of a two floored luxurious villa. The place was amazing and as soon as the car parked in front of the house, Daniel and I quickly got out of the car since we were closer to the door.
"Wow," said Daniel as he looked at the building in front of them.
"You like the place?" Sehun asked.
"Like it? It's totally legit."
"If Sam were here, she would have totally fallen in love with it," I said. "This place is awesome."
"You think so?" Xiumin asked as he jumped out of the car.
"Totally," said Daniel. "Sam has always liked such houses. A villa, especially."
The place was magnificent. Not only would Sam like it, the others would too. Daniel and I went round the villa looking at the yard. Though it wasn't a large yard, it was just right. At the back was a swimming pool. There was a patio and glass doors that led the way back in the house. Now this was a villa indeed.
"This place is so cool," I said to Daniel.
"Tell me about it," he said. "Now I know where I'm coming for my last pool party."
"Come on inside," said D.O. "You haven't seen nothing yet."
"Tell me there's a gaming room," I said crossing my fingers.
D.O smiled at me. We followed him to the front door where we found the others had already gone in. Immediately Daniel and I stepped in through the front door and into the small foyer, our jaws dropped open.
Their living room was amazing. The grey white comfortable furniture and the shining white tiled floor made the place look so magnificent.
"Okay, I can get used to this place," I said as I took a look around.
"We even have a gym just here downstairs," said Sehun who remained in the living room area. "Let me show you."
Daniel and I with D.O behind us followed Sehun to the gym room and I had to admit, the room was pretty lit. I had no clue that this place might have a gym.
"You guys are really something," said Daniel as he and I looked around at the weights and other training equipment.
"We have to work out, you know?" said Sehun with a smile.
"To impress the ladies, I guess," I said giving him a smirk.
"To keep fit too. Come on, I'll show you the arcade room."
I couldn't help myself when Sehun said "arcade room." And so did Daniel.
We followed Sehun and D.O up the stairs to the arcade room. There were two arcade gaming machines in the room. It wasn't just an arcade room, they also kept comic books on the bookshelf. They were Marvel action comics. They even had some Marvel superhero action figures.
"I can totally enjoy this room," said Daniel as he got one of the comic books and flipped it open.
"Totally," I said as I took an Iron Man action figure in my hand on one of the shelves.
"Okay, we can go to the billiards room now," said D.O.
"You guys play billards?" Daniel asked as he put the comic book back in its place.
"Ya, we do."
"I usually play pool. But billiards is also kind of similar."
"Let's go check out the place," I said.
The four of us left the arcade room and went to the billiards room. The place was really spacious enough for the huge billiard table to fit in and to move around. There was a huge flat screen TV on the wall and on the other side of the room on the wall was a dartboard.
"Christine will love this," I said looking at the billard table.
"She can play pool too?" Sehun asked.
"Trust me, she has mad skills."
"Hey, guys," came Chanyeol as he walked in the room. "We're all waiting for you downstairs to start."
"Okay, let's go," said Daniel.
We went back downstairs and found everyone else.
"Okay, let's start," said Chanyeol as he clapped his hands together. "What are we the losing team going to do?"
I still had one of the shopping bags in my hand and removed what was in it.
"Ta-daaaaa!" I said showing what I held in my hand.
"Is that a costume?" Kai asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yep," I said. "And there are other ones in the bags." I gave Chanyeol who was closet to me the costume. "There you go. Go dress up and then we can begin."
"You're kidding me, right?" Chanyeol asked as he looked at the costume.
"Do we look like we're kidding?" Lay asked.
"Okay, let's go change," said Kai as he got his costume from Chen who couldn't help but smile at him.
Sehun and Suho also got their costumes and went up while the rest of us waited for them in the living room.
Within a few minutes, the four who went up to change, soon came back down stairs in their costumes. I gave out a snicker when I saw them descend first.
"Well you guys look dashing," I said.
Lay and Daniel almost burst out laughing.
"Laugh all you want," said Suho. "You're so going to pay for this."
"We know," said D.O. "Say 'cheese!'"
D.O had pulled out his phone and took a picture of the four in front of him. He couldn't help but laugh.
"This is so ridiculous," said Kai as he looked at what he was wearing. "Who thought of getting these costumes?"
Chen, Daniel and Lay pointed their fingers at me. I only smirked.
"At least now I know what to get you for your birthday," said Sehun as he folded his arms and looked at me. He wore a purple costume that looked almost like a dinosaur.
"Hopefully you'll never force me to wear it," I said.
"Okay, we better get this show on the road before it gets too late," said Suho. "What do we have to do?"
"We're going to shoot a video," said Baekhyun, "out in the backyard."
"Don't tell me," said Chanyeol. "It's based on how to train your Pokemon, right?"
"That's what the costumes are for," said Lay. "And we're going to go live."
"Wait, film us live?" Sehun asked with a shocked look on his face.
"You heard right," said Xiumin. "It has to be in the most embarrassing way possible. The fans are going to love it."
"Oh gosh," said Kai as he covered his face. I had to admit, he looked amazing in a Pikachu costume.
"Don't worry, Kai," said Daniel. "Sam will be happy to see you as Pikachu. Remember, she was dressed like that last time."
"And she looked so adorable," said Chen with a smile.
"Too adorable," said Xiumin.
"Before I start daydreaming about Sam, can we go outside now and get this over with?" Chanyeol asked.
"Okay, Chanyeol. Since you're Ash, you will have to train your Pokemons to fight," said Lay.
"I can handle that," said Chanyeol. "Come on Pokemons, let's go."
"Seriously?" Suho asked.
"Who's wearing the Pokemon costume?" Chanyeol winked at his friends behind him.
"Okay, let's head out," I said.
Chanyeol was first at the door and we all followed behind him. We went to the backyard where the swimming pool was. Luckily, the backyard had landscape lights and they were all on. It gave us just enough light to film the video.
"Right, Ash, here is your Poke ball," said Daniel as he removed the ball from one of the bags he was holding and threw it at Chanyeol who caught it swiftly.
"Looks like you sorted out everything, huh?" Chanyeol asked as he looked at the ball. Daniel replied back with a smile.
"I'll take the video," I said as I pulled out my phone. I checked to see if it had enough power for the whole filming. "Are you all ready?"
"No," said Sehun. "Look at me! I'm dressed like that orange dragon."
"And the wings look really cute on you," said Lay.
"I'll make sure to smoke you up in flames."
"In your dreams," Lay smirked as he rolled his eyes.
"Okay, rolling, people!" I announced as I turned my camera and focused it on the cast in front of me.
"Don't we get some guidelines on what to do?" Suho asked.
"I'm bad at directing," I answered. "So, do whatever you feel like doing. Just act silly for the camera, okay? And make it fun too."
"That's the whole point, isn't it?" Kai asked.
"Yes, Pikachu," said D.O, "it is."
"Chen and I will start with an introduction to the fans and explain what's going on before they get to act out," said Baekhyun.
"Great idea," I said giving Baekhyun a thumbs up. "You two come up front. The rest of you have to stay behind me and watch."
"I wish I had popcorn," said Daniel. "This is going to be fun."
"Don't act like you're watching the movie of the year," said Suho farrowing his eyebrows.
"Don't worry, it will be the flop of the year if you so wish," said Xiumin.
"Okay, you guys, let's start," I announced.
Chen and Baekhyun came in front of the camera lens and I gave them a signal with my fingers. I did a count down and soon we were rolling. And live for that matter, on Facebook.
"Hello, our dear amazing fans out there," said Baekhyun with a huge smile on his face.
"On this special evening," said Chen, "we have something fun for you all. Courtesy of Mike Glasson, of course. It's based on how to train your Pokemon."
I smirked and didn't say a word. I gave them a signal to skip to the point and let it be.
"Okay, so let the show begin," said Baekhyun. He and Chen soon went out of sight, snickering.
The spot where Chen and Baekhyun had stood was empty except from some bushes on the scene. Soon, Chanyeol appeared as Ash in front of the camera. He had the Poke ball in his hand and tossed it in the air and caught it.
"I am so in the mood for collecting Pokemons today," said Chanyeol, his voice sounding different.
"Dude, what are you doing with your voice?" D.O who was behind me asked.
"What?" Chanyeol asked shrugging his shoulders. "I want to sound just like Ash Ketchum."
"Ash in no way sounds like that," said Daniel, who felt like laughing.
"Come on, I'm just getting into character."
"Just try to sound more like you," I said. I wanted to laugh so bad. "The voice you did just now was really ridiculous that I wanted to laugh so hard."
Immediately I said that, Baekhyun and Chen burst into a fit of laughter. Looks like they kept their laughter in for too long that it came out with full force. I looked to the side and I could see them laughing so hard with tears in their eyes. Chen even fell onto the grass.
"This is so embarrassing," said Chanyeol as he hit his forehead in frustration.
"The fans are loving this already," I said as I checked the number of people streaming this right now.
The others dressed as Pokemons who hid behind the bushes, couldn't help but laugh too. That would creep people out a little, considering that the bushes were moving and laughing.
Chanyeol threw a Poke ball at one of the bushes and I don't know how he managed to hit Kai on the head because he cried out in pain and he stood up from where he hid.
"Ouch," he said, holding his head and rubbing the spot on where the Poke ball had hit him. "What did you do that for?"
"You know I'm your master, Pikachu," said Chanyeol. "So you don't have to make fun of me."
"Oh, really?" Kai had his hands on his hips and he looked annoyed. This was great. The drama had already started.
"You're not supposed to talk so much as Pikachu, you know?" Chanyeol said.
"What do you want me to do? The 'Pika Pika' sounds he makes?" Kai asked. "No way."
"If you ask me, Pikachu does talk," said Suho from behind the bushes.
"Ya, he's voice is just squeaky and all," said Daniel.
"How do you even know Pikachu is a male?" Baekhyun asked.
"Pikachu is a male," I said. "I saw that once in some episode. And he clearly speaks too. So Kai, make your voice as squeaky as possible."
Kai glared at me and I could see through my phone camera that he wasn't liking it at all. But he soon gave in as he sighed in the end. It was a bet after all.
"Fine," he said as he rolled his eyes. Ladies were going to find him adorable. He turned to look at Chanyeol and his face changed completely.
"I'm sorry, Master Ash," he said in a cute squeaky voice, almost like Pikachu. "I won't do that again."
A huge roar of laughter came out behind me and I found myself laughing too that I almost dropped my phone. Kai was amazing. Not only was he rocking the Pikachu outfit. He sounded just like Pikachu.
I looked behind me and I saw Daniel and Lay laughing as they fell down on the grass. Chen went back down again and this time, he couldn't help it. D.O on the other hand even had to settle down on one of the beach chairs at the pool side to control himself. Baekhyun, Xiumin and I were the only ones standing, but laughing our lungs off anyway. Chanyeol couldn't help but laugh at his Pokemon apologise to him. Sehun and Suho despite being hidden were laughing too.
"Never mind, Pikachu," said Chanyeol. "Let's go for training. We have a battle ahead of us."
Pikachu, I mean, Kai, nodded his head and bent down to collect the Poke ball and joined his Master, Ash, or I can say Chanyeol. He obediently gave his master back the ball.
The training began and Ash made Pikachu do all kind of silly moves and Pikachu couldn't help but complain, giving his master a hard time too. The video was made to make people laugh and also to embarrass these guys as much as possible.
After a while, the other two Pokemons appeared around the bush.
"Look, Pikachu," said Ash. "Wild Pokemons."
Pikachu who was sitting on the grass, tired from all the training gave Ash an annoyed weird look. "Don't tell me you want to make them join us. They will suffer during training just like you're making me suffer."
I couldn't help but snicker and the others behind me did too. Pikachu was really upset that even his squeaky voice seemed on edge.
Ash playfully hit Pikachu at the back of the head. The Pokemon didn't take it lightly.
"What's your problem, Pikachu? If we want those Pokemons then we are going to get them and train them. Do you understand?"
Pikachu folded his arms and looked at the other Pokemons in front of him. "Fine," he said as he got up from the ground.
"Okay, I have a plan. You..."
Before Ash could finish, Pikachu quickly went up and approached the two Pokemons. I wondered what he was going to do.
"Hi," said Pikachu with his squeaky voice. "I just want to let you know that if you try and tear me apart before you listen to what I have to say, I'll reap you to shreds."
"Pikachu, what are you doing?" Ash asked.
"I'm talking here." Pikachu looked at Ash then back at the other Pokemons. "Do we have a deal?"
The other two Pokemons looked at each other, then back at Pikachu.
"What is it?" Sehun asked.
"Okay, my master wants to make you his Pokemons. He's a good guy so you don't have to worry. Since you're wild Pokemons, it will be nice to be domesticated and under control. Trust me, it's worth it."
"Really? We've been watching you train and you don't seem to be enjoying yourself," said Suho.
"Trust me, it gets tiring everyday. But are you going to join us or what? Because I am so not ready to fight you at all and you don't seem to be in the mood to fight either."
"Ya, true," said Suho. "I am so lazy anyway."
"What the-" Ash came over to them and he couldn't believe what was happening. "You're supposed to be wild Pokemons and out of control."
"We're," said Sehun. Sehun gave out a little roar. "See? We're wild."
I really wanted to beat my forehead just like Ash did seconds ago. But I had to admit, it was really interesting how all of this was going. The others behind me couldn't help but laugh.
"That's not being wild, that's being lazy," said Ash.
"Okay, are we going to be your Pokemons or not?" Suho asked.
"Fine. Welcome to the team. Let's start training. Maybe now you won't be lazy anymore."
The Pokemons soon went on with training and it was hilarious. Sometimes they would do silly moves and end up hitting each other in the process.
"I'm so tired," Pikachu complained.
"You only did a few moves," said Ash.
"I'm tired too," said Sehun.
"No. You all have to continue training."
"I am so going to zap you with lightening, you know?" Pikachu warned Ash.
"Oh, ya? I would love to see you try."
Pikachu and the other two Pokemons, slowly started to approach Ash on all corners. Ash started to back away a little, knowing what was going to happen next.
"Get him!" Sehun cried out and Ash made a run for his life.
Ash ran round the bushes and the Pokemons followed. I continued to film the whole thing. When the Pokemons ever got the chance to, they would manage to kick their master. It was hilarious. Pikachu had caught up to him and jumped on his back dragging him to the ground. The Pokemons all fake punched and kicked him. Ash still managed to get away and the Pokemons still followed.
Chanyeol ran over to the pool side and I as the camera man followed them with the others. Suho came really fast behind Chanyeol and pushed him into the pool.
I laughed. The others gasped. This was great. Chanyeol resurfaced in the water and he looked as shocked as everyone else.
"Why did you do that for?" Chanyeol asked as he shook out the water in his hair.
"Ha! Take that, Ash," said Suho, as he laughed.
All of the sudden, Suho also found himself taking a dive into the pool. For a moment, I thought he had just gone in willingly. But it turns out Sehun had pushed him from behind.
Sehun couldn't help but cheer. He wasn't aware that Kai was coming up right behind him.
"Sehun, look out!" Lay called out to him. The rest of us were on the other side of the pool watching the whole thing.
Sehun looked behind him and saw Kai with his arms outstretched and ready to push Sehun into the pool. Sehun quickly held Kai's arms and tried all he could to push him into the pool. But Kai looked a whole lot stronger and struggled to get away from Sehun's grip.
"Well, I never expected a finale like this," said Xiumin.
"Who do you think is going to drop in the pool?" Chen asked.
"Kai," said D.O.
"I think Sehun is going to drop in the pool," said Lay.
"I'm going for Kai," said Baekhyun.
"Me too," I said. "Who are you going for, Daniel?"
I never got a reply. I looked to my right and there was Lay and D.O. I looked to my left and there was Baekhyun and Chen. That was strange. Where was Daniel?
"Hey? Has anyone seen Daniel anywhere?" I asked.
"He was here a second ago," said Chen looking beside him.
While Kai and Sehun were busy struggling to push the other into the pool, the others looked around for Daniel. I still had my phone in hand and looking for my brother, when I noticed a shadow on my phone. I fully went back to looking at the screen and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Before I could say anything, Kai and Sehun were both diving into the pool. And the others saw what happened just in time.
Daniel was laughing his lungs out, pointing his finger at Kai and Sehun. He was the one who had pushed them into the pool. What a turn around this has been.
"Daniel!" Kai called out to him as he splashed water at Daniel, but missing the target as Daniel took a step back from the pool.
"You little rascal," said Baekhyun, as he shook his head at Daniel.
"At least you did me a favour," said Chanyeol. "I wouldn't have done it better than you did."
"Ya, I know," said Daniel with a huge smile on his face.
I laughed. Daniel was full of surprises sometimes. And I say this on a personal point of view. Even the other Toxins would agree with me. There are times when you're playing a game with him and you think you're going to win and he ends up doing something that blows you away completely and you end up losing the game.
But in this one, he wasn't even in the bet because he didn't bet on any team. I'm glad he had the last laugh in the end instead of us on the winning side.
"Okay, guys," I said as I turned the phone around so that the fans could see my face. "This marks the end of our little show. See ya."
I quickly cut the video and put my phone away.
"Okay, now that that is over, can you guys get out of the pool before you catch a cold?" Chen suggested.
"Ya, you're right," said Suho. "I really need to change."
"I'm so hungry," said Daniel.
"Me too," said Baekhyun, "let's go to the kitchen."
"Ya, let's do that." Daniel ran over to the other side of the pool and joined Baekhyun. The both of them went in the house together.
"I think I'll go join them," I suggested.
"Oh, no, you don't, Mike," said Sehun as he got out of the pool. "You're not going anywhere."
"Why?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders.
Sehun started his way towards me and something told me he was out for my life. I slowly started to back away.
"Whoa, Sehun, I know you're mad," I said, raising my hands. "All this was nothing but a bet. And Daniel was the one who pushed you into the pool, not me."
"Oh, I'm not mad," he said as he continued to approach me. "I just want to give you a hug." He even smiled at me with his arms outstretched and his costume dripping wet.
"You giving me a hug? But you're so wet." I realised what he was up to. "You don't want to give me a hug me. You want to throw me into the pool."
"No, I don't." He suddenly came towards me fast.
I quickly turned around and ran back to the house. The others encouraged me to keep running. Except Kai, Suho and Chanyeol who encouraged Sehun to catch me.
Sehun wasn't going to catch me that easily. And I made sure of it when I got in the through the front door and locked it.
