When they got back to the hotel, luckily, none of the girls from that morning were there. He felt Ike sigh as he walked into their room.

"Guys, you have four hours till dinner and five until the concert be ready." They all nodded.

After sitting in the hotel room for a while they were getting board -except for Tay whom was in Ike's body. He was finding Ike's brain pretty interesting by this time. Ike had so many daydreams going on in his head...and they weren't all about girls like he would have assumed.

Wow all I need is popcorn and I'd be set for a fun filled afternoon of movies. Tay said to himself. Zac's voice broke Ike's daydream. Dang Zac, it was just getting good too.

"Guys, let's go blading. We have nothing else to do for a few hours."

"Sure, sounds good to me. What do you think, Ike?"

"Sure, sounds good to me."

The three brothers donned their roller blades and headed out of the hotel room. They exited the back way- just to b safe- and were off for a few hours of their favorite past time- skating and crashing.

The trio skated all over the place and was lucky enough not to draw any undue attention to themselves even though they were acting like complete clowns. They loved trying high-risk stunts like skating down a bunch of steps or jumping benches and things of that sort.

For Ike, other than playing, blading was the time he was happiest. He could be carefree with his brothers and there was nothing to get in the way of their fun- unless of course they were spotted by a mob of screaming girls.

That day they were just lucky enough to steer clear of those. Ike felt so happy at that moment. He was laughing and joking with his siblings and he wasn't being left out or pushed to the back. They all participate equally and no one was different from another.

Taylor felt overwhelmed by Ike's feeling on utter joy. He had never realized how much the three of them balding together meant to Ike- or him for that matter. Deep down being with his brothers like that was the ultimate rush- even more so than hearing thousands of people screaming for him.

But once the moment was over it was forgotten to him. He could tell that Ike never forgot about any one of their blading outings. It made him sad to think that he could toss away such good memories of being with his family while Ike held on to them and cherished them more than anything.

God, how did I get like this? Taylor wondered. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of himself crying out as he hit the ground. He had been attempting to jump over a bench when he landed hard on his side.

Tay felt a feeling of total dread and terror wash over Ike. He watched as he rushed over to Taylor to make sure he was all right. All the while he heard Ike silently praying that his brother was okay.

"Tay! Tay, God are you okay?!" Ike exclaimed as he rushed to his brother's aid. Taylor was holding on to his knee and gritting through the pain.

"Are you okay? Lemme see." Ike said pulling Tay's hands away from his knee. Oh, thank God it's just a cut! Ike sighed to himself, relieved. "Is it sprained? Can you walk on it?" He questioned helping his fallen brother to his feet slowly.

"Jesus Ike, I'm fine! You're worse than mom- it's just a little cut." He complained and pulled himself from his brother's grip, almost falling in the process.

"Are you sure you're okay? That's a nasty cut."

"Ike, take a pill, it's only a scratch." Tay said annoyed

"Sorry Tay, I just worry about you guys, that's all."

"Well, I don't need you to! Why don't you cluck over Zac." He said and rolled off.

Ike's head dropped in defeat. He noticed that Tay had a slight limp. He had let his brother get hurt. God, he was such a screw up that he couldn't even keep his brothers from being injured- what good _was_ he?

Tay heard the last thought. Oh my God, he thinks he's a screw up. He's not- God Ike, don't listen to the voice in your head...You are not a screw up I am...I let my pride get in the way...Ike! Ike listen to me.

Ike watched as Taylor skated away from him with a look of pain on his face.

"Ike?" Taylor called over his shoulder.

"What?"

"Don't tell mom. I don't need her clucking over me too."

"Okay Tay." They skated back towards the hotel, Zac following Ike.

God, why does Tay have to be so hard on Ike? Zac wondered to himself.

The boys got back to the hotel just in time to get cleaned up and get ready to go to dinner. They went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

Everyone looked at the menu to decide on what they wanted. The boys knew what they wanted right away while Jessie and Avery had trouble- their parents are taking care of Mackie.

"Ikey, what do you think I would like?" Jessie asked.

"Well, how about a hamburger and fries?"

"Yeah, do they have that?"

"They have that especially for you."

"Really?" She said with a wide smile.

"Yup."

"Wow!"

"Ikey, what about me?" asked Avery.

"I think you would love macaroni and cheese."

"That's my favorite!"

"I know, cutie. So, my girls will have a burger, fries and mac and cheese?"

"Yeah!" They echoed one another.

Finally dinner arrived and everyone dug in. Ike helped Jessie and Avery making sure they had everything.

"Ikey, can you put ketchup on my cheese burger?"

"Sure, sweetie." He said and helped his sister with her dinner.

"Ikey, I can't get the macaroni stay on the fork." Said Avery.

"Here, use a spoon."

"No, can you help me... pwease?" She begged with her bottom lip poked out and a puppy dog look.

Ike couldn't resist, even though his stomach was screaming for his dinner. He went between feeding Avery and helping Jessie whenever something fell out of her burger.

At one point she dropped a French fry covered in ketchup on her clothes and he was the only one who was willing to get up and take her to the bathroom to clean her up. Much to his relief his parents took over helping Jessie while he did so.

Taylor could feel how tired and hungry Ike was, but throughout it all he didn't complain or even have an ill thought toward anyone. No mater how much of him they took, he was always willing to give it and then some.

Ike's gonna make a great father when he has children. He's a really great brother. Too bad I had to get stuck in his body to find out just how great he is.

"Thank you for helping me, Ikey-poo."

"Not a problem, Jess."

"You must be hungry Ike, go eat, I'll try to help Avie."

When they got back to the table, "Isaac, you better eat fast we have to leave in a minute."

Isaac scarfed down his food as quickly as he could without making himself sick. Taylor couldn't believe how much he didn't notice. He had never noticed that he didn't help with the little ones as much as Isaac. Quite frankly he was amazed.
