"Is this all really necessary?" Alex asked her sister.
"Yes, it is. Ice cream while waiting for the new year to start is the way to do it." Kara was jumping up and down at the spot by the fridge.
"I'll get fat. You don't get fat because of your alien DNA." Alex took place on the couch and did let out a deep sign. "Or pimples."
Kara took two cups of chocolate Ben and Jerry ice cream in her hands before taking place on the couch next to Alex. "I heard the pimples part before."
Alex took the cup from Kara and took a spoon of ice cream that she put in her mouth. "Meggie has to work tonight."
"And you wanted to celebrate it with her too." Alex looked at the now worried faced Kara. "Yeah… I know we always celebrate together, but I just wish she could be here too you know." Kara nodded. "I get it. We all want to celebrate important things like Christmas or new year's eve with the people we love."
Kara took a piece of the ice and stuffed the big spoon in her mouth. "But ice cream always makes it better. And you love me." Kara smiled her goofy cute smile that always made Alex smile.
"Yeah you're right. I never get rid of you." "You have to kill me before that happens." Kara responded playfully.
They sat on the couch together, watching the fire of the candles flickering until the countdown would start while talking together about the year that would be over soon.
"I'll need a beer." Alex said all of sudden. "I'll get it."
Kara got up from the coach to get Alex her beloved beer, as she looked on her wristwatch. "Oh look, it's time! Happy new year big sister!" Kara ran over to Alex and hugged her real tight. "I love you too Kara. Now I really need my beer."
