On and on the game went, and other than Kwazii and Tweak, who had broken the closet door down with all their fighting, it went well.

"Maybe that's enough Seven Minutes in Heaven for one day." Peso sweetly suggested.

"Good idea." Dashi agreed as she turned the tablet over and over in her paws, "Should we do another?"

"Sure." Peso replied and took the tablet from Dashi, "Oh, Dashi." This one's for you."

"Really? I'm not kissing anyone, am I." Dashi asked immediately.

"Thankfully for that hypothetical person, no." Jane teased, and Koshi elbowed her.

"Hey, be nice to each other, both of you." Dashi scolded her little sisters.

"May I?" Peso asked as Dashi nodded for him to continue, "From @XxUser_AngelxX, I dare Dashi to show off the most embarrassing photo she has on her phone/tablet or whatever she has."

"My camera?" Dashi asked hesitantly, confused,  I usually upload photos that I've taken from my camera into the computer, but I know I have a really embarrassing one around here somewhere."

"Who is it of?" Tweak asked cautiously.

"I'm not telling, Tweaky. But I think it's something you'll like." Dashi replied with a wink. "Here it is!" The screen in the Game Pid flickered on, and a picture loaded of what looked like a Kwazii around the kids' age with a blank expression and a finger in his nostril. Tweak roared with laughter, and Kwazii's face slowly shifted from orange to bright red.

"W- where'd you get that?!" He cried, gesturing to the picture of childhood embarrassment that he had hoped his mother destroyed.

"Your mother sent me an album of all your childhood pictures, and this happened to be in there." Dashi responded sweetly.

Once Tweak had finally stopped laughing and caught her breath, she spoke, "Wow Kwaz, caught in the act. Got any more, Dash?"

"Oh, this is only the beginning my friend." Dashi grinned mischievously and began scrolling through her camera. Oh, this was going to be very interesting.

"From Uniquedoll602, Peso, what's it like being so small and feeling like Pinto will one day be taller than you." Peso frowned a little.

"I'm happy that my little brother's going to grow up big and healthy, but I will admit; It makes me feel a little small."

"Wait?! I might be taller than you?!" Pinto looked up, big brown eyes shining in wonder.

"Maybe, mi niñito." Peso couldn't let his baby brother down, however much he wished Pinto could stay little forever.

"Yes!" Pinto leaped into the air and pumped his flipper, triumph etched in his little face.

"But there's some good in being small, lil buddy." Kwazii scooted closer to Peso.

"Like what?" Peso asked quietly.

"Like this." Kwazii scooped Peso up and situated him on his lap.

"I can't hold the Captain in me lap like this now can I?" Kwazii teased. Peso smiled and shook his head.

"Ah," The Captain lifted Peso up in his arms and cradled him softly like a little
baby. "I can't do this to Kwazii, now can I?" Peso blushed a deep shade of pink and shook his head.

"Peso, what they're trying to say is that there's nothing wrong with the size you are." Shellington said comfortingly, rubbing his friend's back.

"Yeah matey, you're always gonna be our lil Peso, and there's nothing wrong with that, is there?" Peso shook his head.

"Good. And one more thing." Kwazii turned to Pinto.

"Never grow up, me lil pirate pal. Please."
