A few hours later, Garmau and Laurmau are just chilling in the backyard on the porch. They're trying not to accept the reality that is these new kids.

"Especially... you know who." says Laurmau.

"I don't know who." Garmau replies.

Laurmau takes a good look at Garmau and rolls her eyes. "Aaronmau."

"Well how was I supposed to know it wasn't Zanemau or Katemau?"

"Zanemau and Katemau pose no threat to us."

"You sure?"

"I'm positive. Aaronmau on the other hand, well there's the issue that,"

"Aaron and Aphmau are,"

"Dating." They say at the same time and sigh.

"He probably thinks he's better than us just because his stupid parents are together and," Garmau starts grumbling unintelligibly.

"I know he does, Garmau. But what do we do?"

"I don't know. We just need some way to get rid of him."

All of a sudden, Laurmau starts eyeing a knife on the table Garmau hadn't noticed before.

"Laurmau, no." Garmau says, concerned.

"Laurmau, yes." Laurmau says, picking up the knife.

"LAURMAU NO!" Garmau yells and pries the knife from Laurmau's hands.

She then throws the knife to the right without looking.

The two stare at each other.

"I wasn't actually gonna do anything." Laurmau states.

"Well, I didn't know." Garmau says.

"That was a good throw, though." Laurmau says.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Wait, did it hit someone?"

Laurmau and Garmau quickly look to the right to find that the knife is embedded into the fence.

"Dang." Laurmau mutters under her breath.

"I'll get it." Garmau says.

She walk over to the knife, but as soon as she's about to get it she trips over something.

Garrance, lying on the grass face first, is the something.

Before Garmau has the chance to shriek "OH MY IRENE I KILLED GARRANCE!" Garrance groans and Garmau realizes he was just lying on the ground being emo again.

Laurmau walks over. "What's this?"

"It's just Garrance."

"Garrance, why are you at the girls' house?"

"Just to visit my mom. Oh wait, I don't have a mom. Or a life. Unless you think being a walking joke is a life."

"Oh Garrance, you're not a joke." Garmau says, pulling the knife out of the fence.

"Why don't you just take that knife and stab me. I'm nothing."

"Garrance!" Garmau gasps. "You are not nothing. You're my baby brother!"

"Mine too." Laurmau says. "Now come on, get up." She helps Garrance to his feet.

"As your older sisters, we need to protect you." Garmau says.

"Why do you call yourselves my sisters anyway? I mean, you certainly didn't treat the new kids like family."

"How do you know about that?" Laurmau asks, surprised.
