Age: 8

"Venny, when I grow up I'm gonna be a princess!"

"That's not a real job, you don't get paid...I- My sister wants to be famous when we're older."

"Well, that's not a job either-" He interrupts, "Nuh-uh, you can get paid for singing."

"Ooohh! I wanna be a pop star- We can be famous together!" I clapped my hands in excitement.

"What happened to being a princess?" He teased.

I furrowed my brows, "Well-" I took a swift pause before my face lit up, "I can be both!"

Veneer raises a brow, "Both? Like a popstar princess?-" "Yes, dummy! What else?"

He rolls his eyes, "Do you even know how to sing?"

"Yeah! I'm going to lessons in this place- Actually, my mommy said I shouldn't tell anyone...but it's not near here- and it's a pretty small place."

"Wow, princess. Are you gonna have a stage name?"

"Not sure. That's future me's problem! What about you?"

"Not sure, either. I'll see what Vel says." He looks at his feet.

"Speaking of names, did you know you were named after a lil' tooth cover thingy? Like dental veneers?"

"What?" He looks up in confusion.

"Yeah, you didn't know?"

"I know my parents are dentists n' all but they wouldn't name me after dental ven...," He gasps, "Holy crap!"

I snicker,

"I told you so!"

"Oh my god, Ven- Hold still!" I say while trying to hold his head still. He moves his head away from my hands and pushes them away from him. "No! It feels weirddd-uh!" He complains.

"Just hold still! It's not that hard" I scooch closer to him. I cup his cheek and drag the lipstick lightly along his bottom lip, "Your lips are so dry," I mumble.

"Princess! This tastes grosssss-"

"Well, you're not suppose' to be eating lipstick!" I put the cap back on the tube and grab a makeup wipe, "It ain't gonna taste like strawberries, dumbass," I tease.

Ding! Veneer snaps his head towards the sound. I gasped, "Veneer! You messed me up," I frown, "It's not even on your lips anymore!" I attempt to cover my giggles with my hand to no avail, "Ven, look!" I laugh while handing him a small hand mirror brought from his bathroom.

His eyes widen and his mouth opens in surprise, "Princess, don't I look amazing?" Veneer poses ironically in front of the mirror and makes duck lips.

"Oh wow," I hold back another laugh,"...You look so good with green smudged all 'round your mouth-" "And who's fault is that?" Veneer raises his eyebrow as he sits up.

"Yours! You're the one who kept moving while I was trying to put it on."

"Literally not even my fault, I don't think I'll ever wear lipstick again," Ding! He looks at his discarded phone, "Vel's almost home."

"Good, I'm sick of you" I hand Veneer a makeup wipe before sliding off his bed and heading into the living room.

"Bitch..." He grumbled as he wiped on the lipstick.

"What was that?" I turn around on my heel to face him closely.

"Um...nothing!" He glances down at my eyes before looking away and grinning, his face tinted pink.

'oh wow. he looks good...ain't no way I just said that about VENEER.'

" 's what I thought..." I take a seat on the couch and wait for Velvet's arrival.

-

"Vel! I missed you so much. Your brother is sooo annoying!" I pull her into a hug.

"You're telling me? I have to live with him." She smiled, not quite reaching her eyes.

"You 'kay?" I take a small step back and look up at her. I give her a smile paired with a concerned look.

"Yeah, uh. Veneer? I need to talk to you. Alone." Velvet walks into her room, not checking if Veneer is following.

"I'll be back, princess. Go to my room, yeah?" He gives me a quick smile before walking into Velvet's room and shutting the door.

-

"So, what's up, Vel?" Veneer says while taking a seat on Velvet's bed. Silence follows. The only noise came from Velvet pacing around the room.

"Veneer," She takes a deep breath, "You can't be friends with her anymore," Velvet blurts.

"What?!" Veneer all but yells before Velvet places her hand over his mouth.

"Be quiet, Veneer," Velvet whispers, "Can't you see? She's distracting you. We're never going to accomplish our dream of being famous if you're constantly talking to her." Velvet sighs and sets her hands on his shoulders. "Plus she also wants to be a pop star! If we take her down now we won't have to worry about her later."

"Vel-"

Velvet resumes pacing around the room and continues, "She's been practicing since she was little and I know you've heard her singing. It's actually good and ours is- Well...you know! She's only going to be better."

"Velvet," He interrupts, "I love you and I support your dream, obviously, but don't you think this is too far? As for our singing- you could always practice! We could even ask her for help. We don't have to cut her out of our lives just because she's better than us."

"Ew, practice? Ask her for help?... Veneer. Trust me when I say this. Stop being friends with her. If everything goes well she'll be too brokenhearted and won't ever try music again!"

"Vel..."

"Veneer. Do it."

-

"What?! What do you mean? I- I don't understand, Ven!" I cried into his shoulder, sitting on his bed, next to him.

"Look, princ- y/n. I'm sorry, but just go. I don't want to repeat it." He patted the back of my head softly.

"No- Tell me why we can't be friends anymore," I look up at him and wipe a tear from my left eye, "I want to hear exactly why you think you shouldn't hang around me."

"y/n. Please...Go." He softly speaks, voice barely above a whisper.

"Fine!"

"I hope your ("Her," Veneer whispers, not that I hear) little dream of becoming a singer fails," I sit up and slide off his bed, packing up all my clothes littered around his room, "And it will whether because of you, your fans or because of me- And when it does...I'll be the first to tell you-"

"I told you so."
