Anna Bananna... Fe Fi Fo Wanna

Chapter Seis

Nik came rushing to me. "Anna, are you okay?" he asked, looking at the horrified expression on my face.

The "cat" (demon) then chose the perfect timing to run out, meowing frantically. As the furry thing from hell brushes my leg, I scream again and jump into Nik.

I look up to Nik, seeing him trying to hold back his laughter. He wasn't very good.

"God Anna," Giggle, giggle (yep, Niklas Don Matthews giggles, how manly). "I forgot you were so afraid of cats."

"You mean devil spawn? And you've known that forever, get the horrid ball of mangy fur exterminated already. I've been waiting like, I don't know, 12 years?"

"I can't just kill my mom's cat. Then she'll kill me. And you wouldn't want that, now would you?"

"I actually wouldn't mind," he gasps and holds his chest as I "offended" him, "It would at least go towards a good cause - the stupid thing would be dead."

"Actually, cats are very sophisticated creatures," he tells me.

I snicker. "I meant you."

He glowers at me, and takes me by suprise as he shoves me into the bathroom.

"Cat's out, have fun!" he says as he shuts the door in my face.

"Wow, love ya too, Nik," I mutter.

When I got back to Kim and Scott's later that day, I was bombarded with questions.

Ranging from "Did you get me anything?" to "I missed you so much! Did you miss me too?" to "How was Nik? Did he make a move?" and on and on.

"Hold up!" I said, silencing them imedietly. "Did I just hear what I thought I heard?"

They all looked at me with puzzled expressions. I turned to Gage, one of the twins, who was the only one with a smirk. "What did you say?" I hissed at him through my halfway closed lips.

"You know what I said. So? Did he? If he did I'll beat his sorry little as-"

"No, he most definitely didn't! And there will be no ass beating, especially to my best friend," I glared at him. "He doesn't even like me like that," I added on the last part silently to myself, not wanting Gage to hear the sadness in my voice.

"Ohhh! I think someone has a crush!" I whip around to see that Even, Gage's twin is snickering behind me. My face flushed red as they both high-five and laugh at my secret. Blah, stupid brothers.

Instead of telling them off, I turn to the youngest of the boys and say in a sad voice (complete with a pouty face), "They are being mean to me," *sniffle* "Can you help me?"

The little 4 year-old walks up to his brothers with his hands on his hips and tells them to cut it out, that making fun of me is rude and hurts my feelings and they will be on Santa's naughty list for sure now.

Baby Chris is adorable, he is tied for first place with little Melly right now for my favorite sibling. He says, and I quote, "Anna, you're my favorite. I like you because you're like the lady who needs help and I'm like the superhero. I think that being a hero for you is awesome."

Que the "awwww"s. He is such a freaking gentleman, too, which is much more than I can say for his brothers. He holds the door out for everyone, I have never heard him call a girl ugly, and he has manners. It is fucking adorable. I have no doubt in my mind he will find a girl and treat her right.

Anyway, after the twins hear Chris' demand, they stop and salute him like a soldier. Everyone at least humors Chris, most of the time. The twins still let out the giggles they are trying to keep in, but Chris is satisfied, so he nods his head at them and walks back towards me.

"There you go!" he says cheerfully in his little boy voice. Then his eyes grow wide in realization as he pats his back. "Gotta find my cape, Anna! Help me!" he springs up the stairs as fast as his little legs will take him and into my room.

I laugh at his antics and start trudging up the stairs to my room.

Yay! Finished the chapter! Took me a week or two... But school and partys and stuff... Yeah.

Since I have the week off of school, I'm going to try and post the next chapter over the weekend.

I get to see Catching Fire tomorrow for the 5th time! Nik and I are bringing Melenee (my little sis) with us. Have to finish reading it again... :/

I'm really tired right now and my puppy is laying on my head so... Night!
