~A few weeks later~

"I guess it's that time where I have to sit back for a bit." Keith said leaning against Lance. "Start working again too."

Lance nodded. "With all the Derby's gone and the cold weather coming I guess it is time."

Keith let out a groan. "Kora's going back to school in two weeks."

"What's so wrong about that?" Lance questioned.

"I have to hear about the boys at school." Keith muttered.

"Oh come." Lance laughed. "That's awesome."

"Yeah, awesome for you." Keith said.

"Keef!" Kora exclaimed running into the living room. "I get to see Alec soon!"

Keith nodded. "Yes you do."

"Who's Alec?" Lance asked.

"My boyfriend!"

"Wait what!" Keith said sitting straight up. "You said he was just a friend!"

"I lied." Kora said cheekily.

Keith gasped. "Why would you lie to me? You're favorite brother!"

"You're my only brother." Kora deadpanned. "But I knew you wouldn't approve so I lied."

For a grade 2 she was smart.

"Lying is bad little K." Lance said trying to hold back a smile.

Kora shrugged. "Oh well."

"Keith." Krolia said. "I need you to take Kora back to school shopping please."

"Okay." Keith mumbled. "But why can't you?"

"I have a few things to do." Krolia said softly.

Keith nodded and didn't say anyhting as his mom left. Again.

"Keef?" Kora questioned. "Where's mommy going."

Keith shrugged and put on a fake smile. "I'm not sure Kora. Go get dressed and we'll head out."

Kora nodded. "Okay."

Keith didn't understand why Krolia kept leaving. It started a few weeks ago. Keith thought nothing of it until it kept happening, over and over again.

He was getting tired of it. She would make an excuse up and leave for days before coming back. And no matter how hard Keith tried to get a hold of her, she wouldn't answer.

He was going to get to the bottom of this.

"How about this one?" Keith asked holding a pink pencil case.

"Ew." Kora said scrunching her nose.

"This one?" Keith questioned again holding up a purple one instead making Kora nod in approval.

"What do you need next?" Keith said looking at the things they had.

"Just a new outfit." Kora said shrugging. "Than we are all done."

"Well let's go get that outfit."

Walking down the isles filled with clothes, and after multiple disgusted looks from Kora, the girl finally found something she liked.
