Hello! I realized that there don't seem to be many fanfics emphasizing Luke and Ravi's bond, so I decided that I'd write one! I've always enjoyed good sibling moments- both in media and in real life. If anyone reads this, please R&R, but no flames please. If you like this, great! Enjoy! =)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Jessie.

"Luke, slow down! I cannot keep up!"

Luke grinned back at his younger brother. "C'mon, Rav, I'm not going that fast!"

The Ross kids' parents had gone out on yet another business trip, and Jessie and Bertram were busy that day, so Luke, Ravi, and their two sisters had decided to play a few rounds of tag out of boredom. So far, Luke was winning.

Ravi watched in dismay as Luke raced up to the sofa in the living room and jumped on it. "Safe!" The freckled boy yelled. "And the mighty Luke wins again!"

"That's the fifth time you've won today!" Zuri complained as she and Emma walked in. "Can't we play something else?"

"Yeah," Agreed Emma, plopping down on the couch next to Luke. "Besides, I'm getting tired of tag."

Luke shrugged. "Okay, then. Do you have any better ideas?"

"Football?" Ravi suggested as he joined his two older siblings.

Zuri sat down next to the Indian boy. "Nah. Jessie would get mad if we knocked something over."

Luke perked up. "How about we watch some TV?"

"No." Emma answered. "There's nothing good on."

Zuri glanced at the other kids. "Anyone up for a tea party?" Her siblings only looked at her in response. "What? I was only trying to help!"

Then Emma got an idea. "Hey, why don't we ask Jessie if we can go to the park? There's enough of us, and we're old enough to look after ourselves. Right?"

Ravi grinned at his older sister. "True. And if we give her the kitten eyes, there is no way she can refuse!"

"Kitten eyes? Don't you mean puppy eyes?" Zuri asked.

"Kittens' eyes are just as cute!"

"Anyway, why don't we go ask her right now?" Emma looked at all her younger siblings for approval.

"Okay."

"I agree."

"Sure, why not?"

"Alright, then let's go! I think she's in the lobby."

The four kids ran to the elevator and pressed the button to go to the lobby.

Jessie struggled with the many boxes stacked in her hands. She felt them wobble, and noticed her grip starting to fail. "Uh, Tony? Little help?"

The bellboy said with his thick New York accent, "Sorry, Jessie, I'm helping a guy right now."

"But can't you help a girl right now?" came Jessie's exasperated reply. Then her heavy load started to fall. "W-Whoa! Somebody he-"

She stopped when she noticed someone had grabbed the other side of the boxes. She glanced around them and smiled when she saw a familiar 10-year-old holding up the other side. "Thanks, sweetie."

Ravi returned the warm smile, even though it was obvious that he was struggling under the stack's heavy weight. Luke and Emma showed up and joined Ravi.

The nanny smiled at them and said, "Thanks, guys. We need to move this over there, okay?"

The three children only grunted in response. They started to heave the boxes over to the specified spot, but then Ravi caught a glimpse at the man Tony was helping. He gasped and dropped his area of the weight, causing Luke and Emma to cry out in protest.

The man was a tall, muscular, and intimidating specimen. Judging by the tone of his skin, he was from Indian origin. The man turned around and narrowed his eyes when he saw Ravi. His cold and steely gaze stopped Luke, Emma, and even Jessie in their tracks.

Emma, trying to break the tense feeling in the air, said, "Uhhh…hi?"

The man narrowed his gaze further and took a step towards them. Ravi let out a terrified squeak and ran back up the stairs to their apartment. Luke, Emma, and Jessie looked at each other in confusion, then set the boxes down.

They looked back to where the man was, but he had disappeared.

Emma glanced back at Jessie and said, "Wow…that was creepy."

Jessie nodded and replied, "No kidding. Hey, do you know where Ravi went? We should go check on him."

"I'll go." Luke volunteered. "Besides, it's probably nothing. I'll bet he's in his room playing video games."

With that, the freckled 12-year-old turned and went into the elevator and pressed the button for their apartment.

And that's the end for this chapter! Luke will soon discover that Ravi reacted that way for a reason! If you want more, you'll have to review! All flames will be deleted! Oh, by the way, I made it a personal goal of mine for the chapters to be at least 650-700 words in my chapter stories, since I'm trying to improve my skills at adding length to a story. Constructive criticism is welcome for any story, too! Thank you! Bye! =D
