"So about that last text, Dash." Tweak began from her spot in Dashi's arms, "Who was it?" Dashi scowled.

"Do I have to answer that?"

Tweak smiled, "C'mon, Dash. You can't let these people down." Dashi sighed in defeat; Tweak got her there.

"Can I at least have one last cuddle, just for good luck?" Dashi asked with a pleading note in her voice and puppy dog eyes that Tweak had no chance of saying 'no' to.

"Of course." Tweak said and allowed Dashi to bury her face into her fur, "When can I ever say no to that, girl. I love ya."

"I love you too, Tweak."
Dashi's voice was slightly muffled by Tweak's fur.

After listening to the sounds of her melted heart drip for a few seconds more, Tweak pulled herself out of Dashi's arms and got down to business, "Now, who was the last person?"

"It was my mom and dad." Dashi answered, pulling out her phone.

"What's it say?" Tweak asked and wrapped an arm around Dashi's shoulders.

"It says, 'You're the greatest big sister any kid would wish to have. Thanks for taking guardianship of your sisters. We love you. Mama and Papa. PS, we'll send over a wig to make up for all the hair you've pulled out cos of those two ;)'" Peso said from his spot right behind Dashi.

Tweak chuckled, "All of that is too accurate." She turned back to Dashi's sisters, "Who's the best sister on the planet?" Both immediately pointed to Dashi. "See?" Dashi couldn't help but smile. In reality, she had three sisters. Two she shared blood with, and one she shared carrots with from time to time.

"I love you, Tweak." Was the only thing she was able to say.

"I love you too, Dashi." Tweak wrapped her arms around her best friend, "Know that all of that was true, OK? You're the best big sister those girls could hope for."

"And we have made her pull her hair out before." Jane piped up innocently.

"Woah." Koshi put her paws up, "YOU'VE made her pull her hair out before."

"You aren't exactly innocent yourself!" Jane shot back and stuck her tongue out impishly at her older sister, the non-favorite one of course.

Dashi and Tweak nearly bent over each other laughing.

"Never change, you two, please." Tweak managed to get out between giggles.

"Tweak, Kwazii." Shellington didn't take his eyes off his watch as Tweak and Kwazii practically elbowed each other in order to reach Shellington first, even if they didn't know what he was going to say.

"Wait for it..." Shellington held up one of his paws while keeping the other on his watch as he began to count down. "5...4...3...2...1..0. Done!"

"WHAT?" Both Kwazii and Tweak cried in anticipation.

"You two won your dare." Shellington simply smiled and looked up from that watch, "You managed to go 24 hours without torturing each other, good job!"

"And now we got candy!" Kwazii shrieked in excitement, running around the Game Pod. Everyone groaned. Giving an already-hyperactive Kwazii sugar would end in disaster. Nevertheless, a deal was a deal.

"I'll message thethirdweasleytwin to see if The_RaidyAva can get the candy to us soon." The Captain sighed and picked up the tablet to send the message.

"I don't mind giving Tweak candy; she's a good girl." Dashi mumbled, "But Kwazii..."

"...will destroy the whole world when he's all sugared-up." Squirt finished for her. Everyone winced and no one argued with the young cephalopod. This was going to be a long day with Kwazii high on sugar.
