"Cam, get your butt over here or I'll leave without you!" Dad has been screaming his lungs out for a while now. But I can't blame him for that.We were definitely running late.

But Jojo didn't care.

If you haven't been introduced, Jojo is my rabbit. I got it two years ago and now it's a p.i.t.a.

He's my wallet's worst nightmare. And my wallet is his favorite treat.

Man it feels like Ime taught him everything.

"Jojo where the freaking hell are you?! I swear this bunny.." I leaned under the bed and saw a small, puffy grey ball.

"Ah! You're here you little brat." As soon as he heard my voice he looked up at me and escaped from the other side, taking advantage of the fact that I was crouching.

That's it. I give up on life.

"Hey loser! Come get your wallet before I let the rabbit go free again." And it's Ime who got it, yay.

I'm sure the brat no.2 going to ask me something for me to get my wallet back.

I stood up and walked up to him as he just threw the wallet in my hands. He shot a glare at me and gently held Jojo, bringing him downstairs.

Weird.

"CAM!"

Oh shoot.

I hurried back downstairs and literally jumped into the car as Dad started the engine, and then we saw black smoke coming out from the front and a screech of death, or that's what I like to call it.

We waited some seconds for most of the smoke to dissipate and got out of the poor car -I like to call her Jello because it's green like jello- as Mom got out of the house with a bug spray in her hands.

"Oh dear, are you two alright?!" She didn't dare come near the still slightly smoking car. I couldn't blame her because it's the first time Jello did that.

Dad looked at Jello, then at me before sighing.

"Vanessa, do you mind us taking your car?"

Mom quickly nodded and carefully approached Jello while Dad opened the trunk, taking out my stuff.

And I didn't know what to do. Dad shooed me away and told me not to stay near Jello while Mom constantly told me to help Dad a bit. But he wouldn't let me.

So I left to the backyard where there was no smoke or whatever. Only me, the wind, the birds chirping and the rabbit sobbing.

Wait, since when does a rabbit cry?

"Jojo? Did you transform into a human and cried because you miss your wallet-food?"

The sobs suddenly stopped and I was left as clueless as a penguin in Africa.

"J-jojo, g-get back here!"

Wait I know this voice.

"Ime? Is that you?" Then one second later Jojo came running in my arms and I just went back his path, leading to a crying Ime behind the shed. He was sitting down with the dirt and all of my old-his old toys.

He glared at me through his red puffy eye's and hugged himself tighter than before."Leave me alone.."

And as the good elder sister I am I didn't listen to him and sat down next to toys."What's the matter kiddo? Missing me already?"

He seems amused by the possibility as his eye's looked at me with a 'you serious right now' look. I looked up to the sky and felt a weight on my side. As I glanced to my right, my brother was leaning on me, still hugging himself like a poor, sad burrito.

"Do you remember when we both went to the park and watched the clouds for hours while eating cookies?" I was a bit startled by the question. Usually he was always so annoying and now he's being as cute as a puppy.

"Uh..yeah. I had to sneak them out of the kitchen while you distracted Mom and Jared. That escalated quickly when Dad came in, right?"

He lightly chuckled and snuggled up in my sleeve." You never told me how you managed to keep him quiet. What happened?"

The memory of Dad staring at me soon flashed in my mind as I smirked to myself.

"I bribed him."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cookies were almost mine when I heard someone coughing loudly, as to signal they were here.

Oh no, Ime you had one job!

I turned around only to see Dad with a disappointed look on his face, crossing his arms. He glanced at the cookies and looked back at me with a slightly understanding look.

"I'll give you five cookies and one of my birthday brownies if you don't tell Mom and Stupid."

He stayed silent for a while and looked at the cookies, then at me again, repeating that a few times.

"Deal."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ime laughed his lungs out as Jojo stared at the poor not as if he was crazy. I wanted to stare at him too but let's be honest, that was hilarious. So I just looked up with a smile on my face, suppressing a laugh because of Ime rolling in the mud like a piglet.

"Cam, we're really leaving now so get in the car right now!" Ime quickly stopped laughing as he gazed at me standing up.

"Cam, wait!" his voice was about to crack again as I sadly looked at his teary eyes.

"W-when are you coming back?" Now that actually surprised me but I just sent Ime a half-smile.

"Your birthday's next month, I'll be visiting for the occasion. And don't touch the rest of my stuff, okay?"

The little guy then suddenly stood up and hugged me tightly, and I just stayed quiet because that was the surprise cherry bomb on the surprise cake.

"I'll miss you sis.."

"Me too, little guy."

He let go and we both walked back to the front of the house where Dad was already in the car. I waved Mom and Jared goodbye and got in the car as Dad stared at my arms, confused and seriously done with the situation.

"Are you bringing Jojo with you too?"

~~~~

Man that was a challenge. But I did it!

*pulls out champagne*

Anyway, hoped you liked it my men and gentleladies.

Doggy out! :3
