Liz's P.O.V
"You're just mad that we won." I said, laughing at Toby.
Yes, we actually beat the guys. But it's not that surprising because Toby sucks and my Dad fell like five times. Niall was pretty good for a beginner, but he was no match to my mom and I. After all, we've been playing volley ball since we were kids. We've worked up a system that doesn't have many creaks.
"You know what Elizabeth, I don't care about some stupid game." He rolled his eyes.
I shoved him, which made him fall into the sand. I laughed and stopped walking all together. I clutched my school and bent over, trying to calm my laughs. Toby got up quickly and charged at me, picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. I laughed harder and started banging my fists on his ass.
"Let go of me." I said.
"Not if you are going to laugh at me, Elizabeth." Toby said.
I rolled my eyes again. I hate my whole name, which is why I go by Liz. Elizabeth is just so long and boring. Liz is short and sweet, it get's right to the point. I don't know why I don't like Elizabeth, but I just don't. Except the teachers, well some of them, refused to call me Liz. It's so rude, disregarding a student like that. But I'm not in school anymore, so it's not like it matters.
"Don't call me that, you know how much I hate it. Niall! Niall, help me." I said, yelling the last part.
Niall, who was having some sort of conversation with my father and helping him carry the big volley ball poles and nets. I smiled, watching my boyfriend and my father get along. Sure I was upside down, but it was obvious they were laughing and joking around.
"You're boyfriend isn't going to save you now. I guess... oh hey Kim. You are late." Toby said, the last part obviously not directed towards me. I couldn't see Kim, even though I really wanted to.
"I know and I am so sorry. The system crashed and I had to stay and fix it. I am so sorry and what are you doing to Liz? I want to hug her." I heard Kim say.
I laughed and said hi, finally being able to see her. Upside down of course and all I really saw was her legs. But she's got legs like sticks and it's pretty hard not to recognize her tiny legs. We finally made it up the hill and Toby walked through the gates.
"Toby what are you doing?" I asked, noticing the pool coming up. Kimmy started to laugh as Toby got closer to the pool.
I barely had time to scream before I was thrown into the pool. I do admit, the warm water felt really nice after the cold ocean water. I opened my eyes underwater, it stung a little bit but after having a ton of salt water splashed in your face it was actually pretty nice. I stood up and breathed in the air, glaring at Toby, who was laughing.
"You are such an ass of a brother." I said, swimming over to the steps.
I was almost dry too. Now I'll have to take a shower. While I would have had to take a shower anyway because I probably smell like an ocean. I climbed out of the pool and looked around, finally seeing Niall coming my way. He looked confused and I wondered why he was confused, but then remembered that I was now soaking when I wasn't before. I laughed and stretched my hand out and when he got here he took my hands.
"What happened? Why are you all wet?" Niall asked, looking me up and down. I had a feeling he wasn't just looking at my wet body. Just the thought of that made me blush.
"Toby through me in the pool." I shrugged, looking away. Niall noticed my blush and laughed, dropping one of my hands but keeping one of them in his.
"We should head inside, you need to meet Kimmy and you need to shower because you stink." I teased, shoving his shoulder.
"Hey, you smell the same exact way. So I wouldn't be talking." Niall said, glancing down at me and smiling. I rolled my eyes and laughed, wrapping my arm around his and leaning into his side as we walked towards the door that led into the house.

"Hey Mom, have you seen Niall?" I asked, leaning against the center island.
She was chopping vegetables for dinner tonight I presume, and then kitchen already smelt really good. I have already taken my shower, so now I smell like strawberry. But Niall took one before me so I don't know where he went.
"Oh he's with Kacey. She finally talked to him. I was surprised it took this long." Mom said.
I thanked her and grabbed a piece of carrot. She gave me a look, but luckily decided not to scold me. I laughed and started making my way upstairs. He's probably in Kacey's room. Oh God, I feel so bad. I haven't even stepped foot into her room since we've gotten here. I mean, sure, we've only been here since Saturday night but it's now Tuesday. I feel like a really horrible sister.
The door to her room was open and I laughed at the fact that my song...er... Jay Cee El's song, Catch My Breath was playing. I walked in, looking around. The room was still the same room I grew up next too, except for the fact that there was a TV and a couple posters. There was one of One Direction in their fetus days, and then one of me. Well actually Jay Cee El. That's so weird. I know that our posters are out there, but having one in my sisters room is really odd.
"Liz, come look at Niall." Kacey said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I looked up and over to where she was. She was at her desk and Niall was sitting with her, but he's back was to me. I saw him tense a little bit, which made me want to see what happened to him even more. I walked over to them and used my hand to guide Niall's head up. When I saw his face I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Kacey decided to do his makeup, and as a ten year old who isn't into grown up things, she did horrible. What looked like lip gloss covered his eyelids and mascara was in his eyebrows, making them look black. She got the blush right, but instead of having it on the cheek bones where it's supposed ot go it was all over his cheeks. A deep shade of red lipstick was on his lips, and a little on the corners. I can give her props for that though, it's hard to get lipstick just right. Especially in the corners. God, I mess up with that so many times it's not even funny.
Anywho, I think that funniest part of his whole new 'look' was his hair. Kacey had used a whole bunch barrettes with princesses on it and fairies, and then pined his hair back. It looked adorably cute on him, yet so funny at the same time.
"You look very pretty." I said, teasingly.
Niall rolled his eyes at me and then looked back at Kacey, telling her that he thought he looked great. While he was distracted with that I quickly pulled out my phone and opened the camera. Calling his name, he turned to look at me in the exact moment that I snapped the photo. I laughed and showed him, which earned me a glare. I don't care though, I am so sending this to the girls. Maybe even the guys. I'm sure they'll love to see this.
"Hey everyone, come down here!" My father yelled from somewhere downstairs. Kacey took off, running to where ever my father was. Niall stood up and tried to grab my phone, but I moved away.
"Hey, you have the photo of me without makeup, so it's only fair that I have one with you wearing makeup." I said, saving the photo and putting my phone into the jean shorts I changed into.
"Fine, I'll just delete it later. Does your Dad want us too, or do I have time to wash this stuff off my face. Wait, do you think that Kacey would be upset if I did?" Niall asked.
I nodded and laughed at his disappointed face. I took his hand, now noticing they were painted pink. I laughed and led him out the door and down the steps. My whole family, plus Kimmy but she is family, was gathered in my living room. The TV screen was blue and my father was holding the remote.
I scrunched up my eyebrows and looked over at Toby, who had his arm around Kim. He shrugged at me as an answer, and then his eyes slide over to Niall. He started laughing really hard, and everyone started to look around. Once they all noticed Niall's makeup they started to laugh at him. Besides Kacey, she was saying that he looked great.
"Aw, my poor baby." I said, looking at his blushing cheeks.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug, which made him laugh as well. I pulled away and kissed his lips, probably getting lipstick on me. Now I know how the guys feel. I unhooked my arms around from Ni's neck, but he kept his arm around me. Even when we moved to the couch. Not that I'm complaining though, I am a huge cuddler so I don't mind.
"Okay." My Dad began, "So it's nineteen ninety nine and Liz is six years old. She decided to put on a concert for us all, and we happen to have it on video." My father said. My eyes widened and I jumped up.
"No, no, no! We don't need to watch this! Oh God, no... turn it off." I said, remembering how many times I've seen this embarrassing video.
"Now, now. We've done this with Toby when we welcomed Kimmy into the family. Now we must embarrass you so we can properly welcome Niall into the family." Dad said, sitting down on the brown leather cross across from me.
I groaned and sat back down, taking Niall's arms and wrapping myself in it. If I have to watch it, I'd rather just see a portion of the screen and hide behind Niall. He laughed at me and pulled me closer, I brought my knees up and rested them against Niall's thighs. Before my Dad got the chance to press play my mother interrupted.
"Wait, here Niall take this. I'm sorry but I won't be able to focus on the video if you are still wearing that makeup." She said, handing him a damp paper towel.
"Oh, thanks." Niall laughed, taking the towel and wiping the makeup off. While he was doing that my dad pressed play.
The video started out with a shot of the fireplace, in this exact room actually. You could hear something, and then you saw a twelve year old Toby making faces at the camera at the screen. All of a sudden a song started to play and I already felt my cheeks heating up.
A younger version of myself came onto the screen. I was dressed in a pink tutu and then my mother's rainbow leg warmers. In my hand was a toy microphone and the song playing was Girls Just Want To Have Fun, by Cindy Lauper. My mother and father were already laughing, and I looked up at Niall who had a huge smile on his face.
I looked back at the screen in time for me to start singing. My six year old voice was way to pitchy and squeaky, it actually made me cringe. I sang pretty much all the words wrong, and was dancing around like an idiot. I was doing the Locomotive dance move, with just myself. It honestly didn't work out well.
During the second verse of the song I had tripped and fallen, missing that whole part because I made my mother kiss my 'booboo'. That part had everyone laughing, including Niall. I'm pretty sure my face was about as red as a tomato. The song finally ended and I literally got up to the camera. I was so close you could see the few freckles that dotted my nose. They faded as I got older, but you could see them clear as day now.
"Did you... did you see that?" My tiny self asked. In the video I was breathing heavy, which was kind of funny. But the next part is more embarrassing then the rest of the video.
My look got really serious and then just... dam! A fart. Loud as hell, if I say so myself. The whole room erupted with laughter. Everyone in the room was laughing, along with my parents in the video. My cheeks heated up and I groaned, hiding my face in a laughing Niall's chest. I think he was laughing the hardest if you ask me. Everyone started talking at once, still laughing. Niall, who was trying to calm his laughter, used his fingers to make me look up.
"That was adorable. You were so cute." He said, his face red from laughing and a huge smile on his face. As great as it was to see that smile, it was still mortifying.
"Mmm, thanks Ni." I said, hiding my face in his chest again. He laughed and rubbed my back, and I moved closer to him.
After a few more minutes of them all replaying the video and laughing at my expense, I grabbed Niall's hand and dragged him out of the room. I led him up the stairs and all the way down to m room. Opening the door, I let him in first before stepping in and closing the door. I turned around and before I could do anything was pushed up against the door.
"It really was adorable. I've never really seen pictures, let alone videos of you as a little girl. That just made my night." Niall said, his hands on my waist.
"Well I'm glad you liked it." I said, trying not to smile but not succeeding. Niall smiled back and leaned in, kissing me on the lips.
Okay, so maybe the video wasn't that bad. It's not like I've never farted in front of Niall and God knows he's done it in front of me. But I don't know... the whole singing thing. It was just a little embarrassing. I was hoping my family wouldn't get into the whole childhood memories thing.
"You know," I said, pulling away and looking up at a disappointed Niall. "When we get to Ireland, I'm going to ask your mother to see every single picture, video, and whatever else she has of you as a little boy. So by this time next week, you'll be the one that's embarrassed." I finished. Niall laughed and shook his head, saying,
"Whatever floats your boat."
