When You Look Me In The Eyes

Favorite Brother

Sunday February 10th …En route to El Paso TX day 11 of tour (DAY OFF)

(Joe) Well I still don’t see why Nick gets to always be the favorite….I mean besides the whole *Air quotes* “twin” thing which is kinda cheating

(Nick) pfffft it has nothing to do with the twin thing and everything to do with the fact that I'm the most awesome….

(Joe) OH WHAT EVVVVV… I am VERY awesome…ask anyone!

(Bailey) It's true…you are very awesome

(Joe) thank you! So it's not the awesome thing it's gotta be the twin thing and again…cheating

(Bailey) don’t feel bad Joey….there are definite times when you are my favorite

*Joe perks up with a smile*

(Joe) oh yea?

(Bailey) mmhmmm like when Nick is all busy with Isabelle drama and forgets I exist

(Nick) whatever

(Joe) what is up with that girl? You guys have two settings…makeout mauling and fighting

*Nick growls*

*Bailey pats Nicks knee* 

(Nick) I just KNOW her better thats why I'm the favorite

(Joe) I know B just as well as you…’sides the twin jedi stuff

(Nick) whats her favorite color?

(Joe) uhhhhh…..

(Nick) its green

(Joe) you didn’t even give me a chance to answer…that one doesn’t count

(Nick) whats her lucky number?

(Joe) 7!

(Nick) that one was easy…everyones lucky number is 7 

(Joe) *crinkles his nose* fine ask me another

(Nick) whats B’s favorite candy?

(Joe) *Juts finger toward Nick* Sour Patch Watermelons *fist pumps*

(Nick) WRONG

(Joe) what?! Nu uh! She always says that’s her favorite…she lives on those things

(Nick) yea 'cept her REAL favorite candy is vanilla tootsie rolls…she just can never find them

*Joe looks at B for confirmation and she nods*

(Joe) Damnit!

(Bailey) *giggle* that wasn’t really a fair question

(Nick) whatever…Joe is just a sore loser

(Bailey) *glares at Nick* shut up D!

*Nick rolls his eyes and lays back on the bed*

(Bailey) maybe you should check….

(Nick) don’t need to….I'm high

(Bailey) CLEARLY…maybe you should do something about that

(Nick) like what?

(Bailey) Oh I dunno, take a correction…drink water…run sprints up and down the bus…

(Nick) I did take a correction and quit babysitting me…

(Bailey) that’s it! I want D’s skank ass off my bunk right now!

(Mom) *walks back to bunks* What did you just say?

(Bailey)  nothing…

*Mom cocks a brow*

(Mom) you better watch your mouth…you are supposed to be ungrounded today…I have no problem extending your sentence

(Bailey) yes Ma’am…

*Mom walks back to the front of the bus and Nick smirks*

(Bailey) *pushes Nick off her bunk* sorry…bunk reserved for favorite brother only and you currently don’t hold that position…Joe

*Joes head perks up and B pats her bunk*

(Joe) *fist pumps* *crawls up into B’s bunk and closes the curtain* your bunk is comfy!

(Bailey) I know right? *pulls down tv screen and hands Joe the remote*

*Joe sighs*

(Bailey) whats wrong?

(Joe) is your favorite candy seriously vanilla tootsie rolls?

(Bailey) yup….'cept you cant ever find them except sometimes around Halloween in those big packs of assorted candy…but my favorite readily available candy are sour patch watermelons…OH and my favorite Easter candy is the Cadbury mini eggs with the candy coated shell…yummmm

(Joe) It's amazing you don’t weigh like 400 pounds….you must have the metabolism of a hummingbird

*B shrugs and then sighs*

(Joe) whats wrong?

(Bailey) oh...now I want vanilla tootsies and Cadbury mini eggs and since its not Halloween or Easter…I'm screwed 

(Joe) put it on the rider…see if one of the arenas can track them down

(Bailey) *sits up and stares at Joe in amazement* you.are.a.flipping.GENIUS

(Joe) *chuckles* well…ya know…I have my moments

*B kisses Joe on the cheek before hopping down off her bunk and heading into the front of the bus*

(Bailey) hey Dad…

(Dad) Hey Bailey...

(Bailey)two things…one…can we add vanilla tootsie rolls to the rider

(Dad ) *chuckles* I suppose we could do that…whats the other thing?

(Bailey) Mom said I'm supposed to be ungrounded today…what about a phone?

(Dad) what about a phone?

(Bailey) well…are we going to get me a new one?

(Dad) I don’t know that you deserve a new phone Bailey…to be honest you are very irresponsible with your phones…not to mention you were caught breaking the no phone privileges thing multiple times while you were grounded…

(Bailey) but…that’s not fair

(Dad) rewarding you with a new phone everytime you are irresponsible isn’t fair either
