Passion for Paris - A GEM Sisters Fanfiction

Chapter 1: Wake Up Call

Giselle's POV:

I yawned loudly as I stomped down the stairs, into the kitchen, and sat in my chair.

"Morning Giselle!" Mercedes smiled widely, munching on her toast.
My younger sister is such a morning person. I mumbled a reply and grabbed the cereal box. As I was about to pour my fruit loops, I heard a scream.

"Nooooo!" Evangeline shouted as she wrestled me to the ground.
"Aaargh! Evangeline, get off of me!" I shrieked.
"That's my cereal! I need the free toy!" She gasped.
"Free toy?! What the heck?!"

Mercedes laughed and whipped out her phone.
"OMG, I have to film this! This is definitely going on Instagram and Youtube!" She grinned.

Evangeline finally got off of me, panting heavily. I got up and flicked some fruit loops off of my shirt.

"What was that for?!" I shrieked.
"Hmm, what should I caption this? Ooh, I know!" Mercedes said in the back, typing away.
"Well?!" I turned my attention back on Evangeline.

Evangeline didn't answer, instead she shoved her hand into the cereal box, sticking her tongue out as if she were trying to get something out of reach.
"Yes! Finally! I got it!" She said triumphantaly.
She held up a minature figure of some type of red monster.

"Aww man!" She kicked her foot in frustration. "I got another Strawberry Slime Ball! That's the 4th one!"
"Strawberry what-what?" I asked in a confused expression.

"She's been collecting all the Fruity Monsters from the Fruit Loop Box," Mercedes filled me in, putting her phone away. "How could you forget, Giselle?"

I smacked my forehead. I completely forgot about that. Aw jeez, I'm so forgetful!

Still, Evangeline shouldn't have pounced on me like that. Well, at least she woke me up. If she hadn't, I would probably be sleeping in my cereal bowl.

"What was all that racket about, girls?" My Dad suddenly walked in.
He stepped in the pile of cereal.
"And what's all this mess?"

Mercedes took a big breath.
"Well-Giselle-woke-up-and-was-acting-all-emo-like-the-grumpy-person-she-is-and-she-was-about to-have-some-fruit-loops-forgetting-that-Evangeline-was-collecting-those-free-monsters-thingies-so-then-Evangeline-walked-in-and-saw-Giselle-about-to-pour-the-cereal-so-then-BAM-Giselle-is-getting-strangled-by-Evangeline-who-grabs-the-cereal-
box-and-stuffs-her-hand-inside-to-find-that-she-got-another-strawberry-one!" Mercedes finished quickly, clutching her chest.

Dad blinked.
"I did not get any of that," He muttered, then turning to me.

"Giselle, can you please clean this up? I'll go start on some toast for you."
"Why can't Evangeline?" I moaned.
"Because Evangeline isn't here." Dad said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I looked around the kitchen and it finally dawned on me that my little sister had escaped punishment. I sighed and got a dustpan and brush.

I guess this is what I had to look forward to for the rest of the summer. Being eldest was so unfair!
