Homecoming, part one — here we go again

/"Is he dead?/" Austin asked.

Liam poked Drew. /"I don’t think so. He feels warm./"

/"He snores,/" JJ said.

/"Because he’s a guy, duh,/" Mackenzie rolled her eyes.

/"That’s not true,/" said Nikolaus, giving Mackenzie a look.

/"Yes, it is. It’s a known fact that all guys snore,/" Mackenzie said to Nikolaus.

/"How would you know?/" Asked Austin.

/"Because of you, Dad, and Nik all snore. Plus, Mom says you sound like dying bears,/" Mack told her brothers.

/"We do not,/" Nikolaus exclaimed.

As the five of them argued, Drew opened his eyes and yelled, /"Ah!/" Then Drew fell onto the floor. They all gathered around him, looking at him as he looked up, still lying on the floor.

/"Well, I guess that answers the question if he’s dead,/" Liam said with a shrug.

/"Will you give leave that poor boy alone?/" Marissa demanded, standing behind the cousins.
