Death's-

"Pepper Carolin Aodh!"
Mm, the full name.  I wonder what it is now.  What is so important that must interrupt my writing?

Nose to nose, I stare blankly back at whoever it was.  Probably Pops, come to think of it. 
Heh heh.  Has he discovered our little prank?

drip, drip...

Yep, he got damn bamboozled. 

"You DO realize,"
A snarl rises in his throat.  Oohoho!  He's really mad!  She must've got 'em good. 
Way to go, Ma!

"What's that, Pop?"
Choking back my laughter, I make an attempt to sound innocent.  Sadly (of course), it doesn't seem to do the job.

Pops takes a few steps back for my very own viewing enjoyment.

With blue goo hair dye dripping from the side of his scarred face, he gives me the look.

"Wait a tick, why am I in trouble if Ma helped too?  As a matter of fact, she always refers to herself as 'the mastermind' of us two..."
I cock my head to one side, finger against cheek.  Man, am I nailing this whole innocent thing, or what?

Pops creases his slimy forehead.  "Well, I WAS going to tell you that you are finally switching schools."

I pump my fist in the air.  Fucking finally!  "Shoots!" 

...
"Wait, where am I going exactly?"

Ma peeks out from the corner.
"You'll see, sugar."  Winking, she grins at me and waves at my father.

"Wait, THAT one?"

"Mhm."

"I dunno if I should be excited or scared..."

"Excited!/Scared."

My parents look at each other.  Ma gives Pops a sheepish and lopsided smile.  Lost hope, she's a goner for sure.

My mother bolts from my room into the living room and heaven knows where else, with my father close behind.
Haha.  I love my parents.

Ma helps me to pull amusing pranks like this on Pops, and Pop has the best advice on how to take down people.

Especially boys?
For...  some... reason?

Though, because of Benny, I don't think home here will ever be the same.  I try to make it as lively as possible, you know?

And I'm going to the same school he went to.  And I'm going to find out what exactly happened to my little brother.  My best friend.

This is not over, you S.Q.U.I.P.  This is not over.
