It had been a couple days since Meredith's father had grounded her for something she didn't do. As Meredith was fixing herself up a slice of toast, her father had walked in. "Meri I'm going to need you to run the grocery store, as mrs paimyn is sick. take Oliver with you."
"Alright dad." Meredith says biting into her toast and watching her father leave.
Making her way upstairs, she knocks on her little brothers door.
"Come in!" The little boy says cheerfully
Meredith smiles as she sees her little brother playing with some toy cars. "Come on we are gonna go to the grocery store, I'll let you pick out a candy."
"Yay!" Oliver says dropping his toy cars and running out his bedroom.
Meredith chuckles and closes his door.
At the store, they had finished getting what their dad had asked and were at the candy aisle... "hmm..." Oliver says scanning all the different candy choices. He had finally settled on getting a cherry lollipop. "My favorite." He says with a smile.
"Great lets head home." Meredith says as her little brother walks in front of her. As Meredith checks out the last item, she notices a poster of two people with the word THIEVES in big black letters. She gasps as she realizes those were the two who had set her up at school.
As they are walking back home, Oliver spots a stray gray cat and starts chasing after it when it didn't let him pet it. "Ollie! Oliver!" Meredith yells as she drops the grocery bags and chases her brother. finally, after a few more blocks her little brother stops as the cat runs up a tree and hisses. Meredith, out of breath grabs her little brothers arm and bends down. "Oliver what were you thinking?? Don't you ever run away from me again" She says standing back up.
"I'm sorry meri" Oliver says looking down at the ground.
"What's with all the yelling??"
Meredith turns around "I'm sorry sir my little brother he-"
Merediths eyes go wide as she realizes who it is.
"You" she says grabbing her little brothers hand.
"You..." Mikey says with a scowl.
