"He started it!"

"Nuh uh!"

"THE EFF YOU MEAN, NUH UH?!"

I groan as I hold the two quarreling parties away from each other, rolling my eyes. Oh how I wished my brother was here. But sadly, I had to keep these two from killing each other. At least- Until Light got here.

Bally tries to pick off her boot to throw at Spence, but I kick her foot to make her stop. She glares at me in return. "What the heck was that for, Unknown?!"

I roll my eyes, looking at them both. "Oh I don't know, maybe it's because you two are arguing and trying to kill each other right now?" Spence instantly interjects. "No I'm not! She is!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

A crunching from the corner draws my eyes to look at Edge who was apparently eating popcorn. Well at the very least, he enjoyed watching the energy these two put off. I swear, both of them in the room left a tenseness that you could cut with scissors.

Finally tired of their antics, I haul both of them into the air and over to the couch to set them on opposite sides. "Ow- What the heck, man???" Spence complains and looks at me. Bally crosses her arms and huffs, sulking.

"You two, Shut up. I'm tired playing referee. Play nice until Light gets here or so help me, I am going to lock you both in the attic. Clear?" Both look at me like I was crazy.

"The creepy attic that probably was the home of some serial killer?? Heck no!"

"Are you crazy man?? Ok ok! I'll play nice with her- jeez."

Both settle down into the couch and I sigh in relief. I didn't like having to play big brother for anyone else than Light. But it didn't mean I was gonna take attitude from mine and his friends though.

"Dang- It was getting good too." Edge comments and frowns. I just give him a look that makes him look at me like I was crazy. I raise an eyebrow at him to signal that the attic threat went for him too.

With a butter-greasy fingered hand in the air like, "Don't shoot me too!" I finally had everyone settled and quiet. Which honestly- It was bliss. I liked it. Sheesh though. This is why I much preferred the company of Indie, my brother, and my plants. That was it.

Even my Cacti complained much less than these two.
