When it Rains

Chapter Four- David's POV

{David’s POV (His and any others besides Liz will be past tense)}

The rain stopped a bit after Liz managed to fall asleep on the couch, and the sun was even shining a little through the clouds. I smiled and thought of the stuff Liz and I would get into, at first I wasn’t exactly ready to have another kid in the house, but now that I have one, it isn’t too bad. Actually, it isn’t too bad at all. Sure he ate all my puffy cheetos, but I don’t think I needed those anyway.

We were in the middle of watching a scary movie, which made Liz’s slumber even more odd, how could he sleep when a zombie popped out of every other corner? I shrugged it off and turned off the TV.  _ What to do, what to do… Ah-ha!_

I gently tap Liz’s shoulder, “hey kid, wake up!”  he just rolls over and snores slightly, “come on little man, the pizza!”

He swatted away my hand and I twitched, _alright, but he asked for it… _ I ran over to the kitchen quickly and grabbed a glass of water, filling it half way with freezing cold water, which hopefully would wake him up, if not, then the family was doomed.

I speed walked as fast as I dared with the water, snickering evilly as my plot played in my mind, unfortunately, my world came to a crashing halt when I saw Liz sitting up straight and rubbing the sleepy crust out of his eyes. It was cute, I have to admit, sadly, my plan was put to rest…for now.

“David…Why do you have a glass of water?” he stared at me for a moment, “and why are you frozen like you’re tip toeing?”

I tried to think up something he would believe, but would still be nonsense, which, probably wasn’t so hard, “well my dear brother, I thought you might like to have some chilly water after your short slumber.”

Liz smiled widely and hopped off the couch, landing in front of me, he was so gullible, “Thanks a lot David!”

I rustled his hair and laughed as he tried to put it back in its less messy style, “no problamo little man! Now, let’s go get that pizza goin’!”

Pizza may have been one of the worst ideas of all considering how messy the whole kitchen ended up, but it was loads of fun, especially for Liz, who, unfortunately never got to make his own before. I was glad to be the first to teach him, that way he knew I was not going to just be a mean older brother.

Sarah came in just as we started, and, of course threw a bit of a fit, “you too are making a mess in here!”

Liz smiled at her, “we’re making pizza! Do you want to help, Sarah?”

Sarah shook her head, “no, I just painted my nails.”

I leaned over and whispered to Liz, “actually, she can’t really cook, she managed to burn everything but water. Just ignore her and she’ll leave, eventually.”

Liz giggled and started to flatten out his pizza into an odd oval, and we both ignored Sarah’s constant nagging. She did go away though, calling us idiots. She probably went to tell mom what a bad influence I am, but, I was only teaching him how to cook and keeping him entertained, right? I highly doubt any evil will arise from pizza.

We both made our own pizza, Liz made one that looked like an oddly shaped circle with only cheese and pepperoni, which, he was rather proud of, and mine was a perfect circle with everything on it, which made him scrunch his nose.

“Ew! Onions are nasty!” he held his nose while speaking, it was hilarious, but I had to stick up for my food!

“If you don’t want it, don’t eat it! I happen to like onions. Their good for your eyes, or is that carrots?”

 I pondered this until the oven dinged, telling me it was at a good temperature, then quickly tossed the pizza’s in the oven. Now all we had to do was wait.

For forty-five minutes.

And we were all getting hungry now. Mom came in to check a few minutes before the pizza went to cook, and dad called and asked if it was ready too. Sarah, on the other hand, had a date with Tony, the guy our parents said she was okay to date. She left after she nagged at us, and now Rosie crawled into the kitchen from were mom was at.

Liz stared at her for a while, making me snicker, he did not like babies from the looks of it.
