I must warn some of you "critiques"... I am only 14, and I've never been to court, so don't blame me if all these things in court are sudden and jumpy. Anyway enjoy your read.

Sarah Williams, now age 25, fights for custody over her baby brother in court as you read this.

Sarah looked around the court room and saw Karen, her rival in custody for Toby,

"This is so not fair…" she muttered.

Karen turned around. Sarah was about to gag. Her step-mother's outfit was grotesque and gaudy, more than they usually were. A leopard skin scarf, too small to cover the bulge of her breast ready to pop out of her ocean-blue blouse,

" What is she trying to bribe the judge in THAT outfit?!" Sarah thought.

"Hello, Sarah," Karen sneered and rolled her eyes.

Sarah sneered back at her and ignored her snappy hello. She looked over to her left and saw her little brother. He looked up at her and hugged Lancelot tightly in his arms.

She smiled lightly. He sniffled.

The judge came in, she ignored his appearance.

Hours flew by until they really got to Sarah's rebuttal.

"Miss. Sarah Williams, why do you go against her custody for Toby and try for custody for him?"

The judge asked.

Sarah nodded, "As Toby's elder sister I think I should be his rightful guardian. I have taken care of Toby since I was 15, and nothing bad ever happened to him around me,"

Karen scoffed, sounding very unlady-like.

Sarah grunted softly, "It would be best for Toby to come and live with me, considering I will be out of collage in a few days,"

"How exactly is Karen a bad mother?"

"You could ask Toby. Sometimes he does the slightest bad thing and she spanks him or worse. She once forced him to eat a mango, which he is highly allergic to, because he left his teddy bear on the ground."
"Do you deny this Ms. Karen?"
"I do not sir…" she said In a rather lascivious tone.
The judge rose and eyebrow, "On to other matters, where do you expect to get the money to take care of a child so quickly Ms. Sarah?"

Sarah became quiet, she hadn't thought about it that way, "Well… I um.." she stuttered and bit her lower lip, "What if I get married?"

Karen chuckled and held back a burst of laughter.

"Are you currently in a relationship Young Sarah?" The judge asked.

"Well… No but…"
"Then how do expect to get married so quickly?"

Toby held Lancelot tightly, scared that he may never see his sister again.

"…And if I do get married, or get a job in time?"

"Then you just might have custody of Toby…"

Sarah bit her lower lip. The judge smacked his gavel on the bench, "We will continue this case in a month, a date will be sent to those who must come when the date is chosen. Court dismissed!"
