Penelopé wasn't even sure about what she was wearing. She felt that her dress was short but appealing, and at the same time she felt that she tried too much.

'He's not going to like you if you wear this' she told herself and bit her lower lip nervously, but after a while she decided that she would wear it anyway.

Making her way downstairs, her eyes widened due to the mass of people that were in their living room; it was a bit too crowded.

Some of her cousins were playing on Ashton's Xbox and he swatted their hands away, taking his controllers away from them. They whined and begged him to give back the controllers to them, but he refused and stuck out his tongue at them.

Penelopé rolled her eyes because her older brother was acting like a five years old, and then she walked over to him.

"Done acting like a baby, Ash?" She giggled at him and looked at the children; who were pouring and making puppy dog eyes at Ash so he can give them the controllers.

"What are you wearing?" Ashton looked like he would explode very soon, but he was dead serious, and the -dead serious- Ash was not the one to mess with.

"Um a dress?" Penelopé replied, but it came out as a question.

"I see that it's a dress, and you can't wear it" Ashton stood up, taking his controllers with him.

"Stand up and let's go to your room" Ashton instructed, and waited for his sister to come along.

"What? But I spent like half an hour looking for a nice dress Ash!" Penelopé argued, still sitting and not wanting to go anywhere with Ashton.

"You're going to change this and that's final young lady!" Ashton yelled, getting the attention of his cousins who were talking but now stared at him.

"Fine. You don't have to be so rude about all of this" Penelopé gave up and threw her hands up in surrender, she didn't want everyone to know how over-protective and lunatic Ashton gets whenever she wears stuff like that.

They went upstairs and to her room. When they were inside, Ashton was kinda shocked; half of Penelopé's clothes were thrown on her bed and her dresser was messier than usual.

"Wow, you did spend a lot of time dolling-up for god knows who!" Ashton said sarcastically.

"Oh really? I was planning to wear this for the whole day and then you come and yell at me in front of our cousins and I had to agree just to let them know that you aren't a psycho!" Penelopé whisper-yelled at her older brother who stared at her with wide eyes.

"Ah I'm sorry? I don't know Lele I just want to keep you safe!" Ashton whisper-yelled back at his sister with a defence tone.

"Oh give me a break! I can handle myself mister 'overprotective'!" She stormed off to her bathroom angrily, leaving her brother who was feeling slightly guilty that her mode shifted from good to very bad real quick.

'She must be on her period' Ash told himself and walked towards her bed, which had tons of different clothes on top of it.

Searching through the sea of clothes that were on her bed, he finally found a cute floral dress that he knew Penelopé liked and would never refuse to wear.

Her bathroom's door was closed so Ashton knocked on it and started talking.

"Lele I found the prettiest dress ever" Ashton called in a sweet low tone, luring his sister to come outside.

"Go away" She yelled, surprising Ashton.

"I ain't going anywhere until you come out of this bathroom and wear this dress young lady" Ashton informed her in a very strict tone.

He heard her sigh in defeat and after a few moments the door was open. Penelopé looked at the dress her brother was holding and smiled a bit to him.

"Well, turns out you have a great taste in fashion" Penelopé snatched the dress from his grasp and went back to the bathroom.

"Anyway, do whatever you're supposed to do quickly! Because I can already hear the music from here!" Ashton shouted to his sister and she replied with an 'Okay'.

A few moments has passed and then Penelopé came out looking cuter than ever.

"What do you like to be called? Hot or cute?" Ashton asked her eyeing her outfit from head to toe.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Penelopé asked, confusion lacing her voice.

"Just answer the damn question Lele" Ash ordered.

"Ah of course cute is better?" She replied, sounding kinda unsure of her answer.

"Great! I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to be compared to a temperature" Ashton smiled and stroked her left cheek.

"Now let's go downstairs. Time to party!" Ash announced and beamed at his sister before sprinting out of her room.

Both of them started running downstairs, but the mass of people who were already partying surprised them. They looked at each other and said:

"It's going to be a hella long night" and then went their separate ways.

Sure they were not the best sister/brother relationship goal but they were happy with what they had and nothing could possibly ruin that.
