I was sitting up in my little corner listening to Mozart while reading Harry Potter. It was a few weeks before christmas and I was taking the holiday spirit to heart. I was wearing an oversized red sweatshirt and green legging. I had opted out of wearing shoes and then wore the fluffiest pair of socks I would be fine.The door flew open and Manning came storming in. He walked over to Abe's tank and knocked on it, in a very annoyed voice he said,

"Hey, Fishstick...We gotta talk."

This had to be good, I set my book down and jumped down off the shelf. Grinning as Manning jumped, he sighed and turned back to Abe, who was swimming over to get out of his tank. I wondered what Manning wanted. When Abe got out and walked over to us Manning led us out into the hall,

"Look at that.. Each photo costs a fortune to suppress. And then, naturally, they pop up on the net."

He showed us pictures, it was Red. Then Manning flipped to one where Red had actually posed,

"Oh, Lord... He's smiling in this one."

"I know..It's not just the money. It's the provocation. This is asking for trouble. His ego..."

He paused and said his name causing the doors to open and we continued down the hall,

"...is out of control. And I think it's deliberate on his part...He hates me."

I shook my head and said,

"No, he doesn't. He's just...enthusiastic."

Manning glanced at me and shook his head, then he turned to Abe,

"How are things between him and Liz?"

Abe shrugged,

" Oh, you know. The usual. Since they moved in together- Good days and bad."

We ducked behind a pillar as something boomed then shout out at us. I turned slightly to Maning and finished for Abe,

"Then again, there are the really bad days."

There was my brother, lying on the floor smoking. He must have really pissed her off. He got up and put out a fire that was on his shoulder, then turned to us,

"Oh, hi Blue, Ellie... Manning."

He walked over to the room and stepped over the remaining part of the door, I guess it was his turn to be destructive. Manning, Abe and I started over to the door and peeked in as Red shouldered at Liz,

" Well...I'm not afraid of you! You hear?"

He started to pick up his crap, he ever seemed the throw away anything. It was horrible, I didn't know how Liz could handle it.

"Look I have one rule! One...Don't touch my stuff."

He held up a finger almost like it was going to command that no one touched his stuff, which I was tempted to do now. Liz then appeared, on fire but she looked more hurt than angry.

"You have the same album on CD, LP and an 8 track, An 8 track!"

Red turned and took it from her, almost offended that she said that.

"You can't listen to Al Green on a CD! You just can't! Oh, and 8 track was the way to go...one day mankind will realize its mistake."

He said turning and walking over to the bed, sitting down on it like he was already bored with the conversation. He told the cats that it was ok and then a swarm of cats came bolting from the bed. Cat whore that was what he was.

"What about me Red? I need some space! Not much, but just enough to find...to find...my...toothbrush."

Red looked up almost confused, boy did he not understand females at all. I watched as Liz caught on fire until Red pointed,
