A/N: Alrighty then, as a test for myself, (and because I wanted to start writing this before I forget it) I will perform for you today… a juggling act, between this and my other story 'Been there all along'. Just a quick warning, I can't juggle in real life so I'm hoping that I'm gonna be a lot better with stories. I decided to write this because I kinda wish I had a little sister and this is how I'd like our relationship to be (between Drake and Megan). Oh yeah, one last thing, in case you were wondering, the title is a lyric from the song 'little lion man' by 'Mumford and sons'. Enjoy.

Chapter 1

It was a bright and sunny Sunday morning. The light was streaming through the little circular window of Drake Parker's attic bedroom. Drake himself was sitting on his bed, still in his PJs strumming a little tune on his guitar and occasionally stopping to write the chords in a little notebook that was sat open in front of him. It was during one of these slight pauses that his step-brother Josh came thundering through the door to their shared bedroom, slamming it shut and leaning against it, panting like a dog.

Drake slowly looked up in confusion as Josh started to slide down the door, his back still pressed against it.

"What happened to you?" Drake asked staring at his brother, near enough sprawled out on the floor in front of the door.

"M… M… Me… Megan…" Josh panted, trying as hard as he could to force the words from his mouth.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh…" Drake replied, "…Okay." And he returned back to working on his music.

Josh just sat there, regaining his breath as best he could, looking at Drake for any signs of concern or interest. But the longer he looked the less he could see on Drake's face other than his thinking face that he always wore when he was writing a song. Drake continued working on his song, mumbling a few lyrics to himself, then writing them down.

Eventually Josh spoke up "Aren't you even going to ask what that demon sister of yours did?" he said accusingly.

"Nope," responded Drake without looking up from his notebook, "I kinda figured you'd tell me anyway."

As Josh was standing up, he took a moment to think about whether Drake just insulted him or not, before brushing it aside and carrying on with what he was saying.

"She started cutting my hair with her scissors!" he shouted angrily. "And now I have a bald patch," he continued.

He spun round and pointed at it saying "Look at it, LOOK AT IT!"

Josh turned back round to see Drake looking at him, trying to hold back a snigger, but failing miserably. Josh's mouth dropped, his so-called brother was meant to feel sympathy for him but instead he just sat on his bed laughing. A frown washed over Josh's face and he glared at Drake.

"Recently I've been getting twice as many pranks as usual but I can't think of what I did to piss her off!" Josh complained, although he directed it at Drake he was mainly thinking out loud.

The smile on Drake's face quickly changed into another look of confusion, a sight that was all too common for Josh. People say Drake isn't all that smart and, at times, Josh would agree with them especially if they knew how often his face was adorned with a confused look.

But Josh didn't have very long to ponder on the matter as Drake interrupted his thoughts, "That's weird; she hasn't pranked me at all recently."

Josh now shared Drake's confused look but it was also mixed with a look of extreme thought as to their little sister's motives for stopping her pranks on Drake and doubling her pranks on Josh. They didn't have long to think though as Megan threw the door open, hitting Josh in the back making him yelp as he leapt across the room to get away from her. By now she had probably ditched the scissors and removed Josh's hair from the kitchen floor leaving no evidence that she ever did anything, so Josh couldn't blame his bald patch on her.

"Hey Drake…" she greeted cheerily, smiling, before turning her face into a scowl and her head towards Josh and simply acknowledging him sourly, "Boob."

Drake and Josh just looked at each other before she continued

"Draaaaaaaaake," she started to ask, drawing it out for effect, smiling and rocking back and forth innocently on her feet, "can I borrow twenty dollars pleeeeeaaaaaase" she said, dragging it out again.

"What for?" Drake asked suspiciously squinting at her examining her for any tell-tale signs of a trap.

"I can't tell you yet"

"Why not?"

"Cause I just can't" she replied, dropping her smile, starting to get a little annoyed.

"Alright then," he said, reaching for his wallet next to his bed, "but I better get this back" he said abruptly pointing his finger at her.

"Of course." She said with a smile as he handed her the 20 dollar bill. And with that she left.

Drake put his wallet back and then went back to working on his song. Josh still stood there, in utter shock at what just occurred. He just witnessed his little sister be really sweet and nice to his brother and when she asked to borrow money, Drake just handed it over with almost no thought whatsoever. In all the years he'd lived with them he'd never seen them be so nice to each other. Something was wrong, very wrong.

"What was that?" he asked Drake.

"What was what?" replied Drake looking up at his brother.

"That!" Josh said, raising his voice a little, pointing at the door, not taking his eyes off Drake.

Drake looked to where Josh was pointing.

"It's a door," he said laughing a little and shaking his head, "and people think I'm the dumb one."

Had he really already forgotten, Josh thought. Forgotten that his devil-spawn little sister asked for money and he gave it to her. Unless… they were plotting something together, against him. Josh's eyes became wider and wider until they looked like they would nearly burst.

"Oh no you don't" he said, his voice laced with worry, waggling his finger accusingly at Drake and backing away from him slowly.

"Don't what?" Drake asked, bewildered as to what Josh was doing.

By now Josh had backed himself up to the couch in their room. He took one quick look at his jacket hanging of the back of it, grabbed it and ran out the door, making a noise that sounded like it would have been a scream had he been able to let it out. Drake furrowed his brow as Josh ran out but upon hearing the front door downstairs slam shut he deduced that there was little point following him to ask him what he was talking about. Instead, Drake took a moment to think about why Megan had been so nice to him recently.

He eventually came to the conclusion that she had been building up to asking him for money by not pranking him, and that he would start getting pranked again soon. Which then brought his attention to why he had been so happy and trusting as to lend her the money without her telling him what it was for. However this time he couldn't think of a good reason. The closest he got to a good reason was that he missed the way things used to be between the two of them.

They were friends a long time ago. Drake couldn't quite remember what happened between them other than they just drifted apart. It didn't really explain why he'd lent her the money so eagerly but he just wished their relationship was back the way it used to be.

Little did he know…

…that's exactly what she wanted too…

A/N: I don't know how the rest of you choose to do it but I like to write each chapter in one go. Not writing half of it one day then the rest the next day. So now my fingers hurt but that could also be due to me starting writing this chapter as soon as I uploaded chapter 4 for 'Been there all along'. *sigh* I've had way to much spare time today, but at least I spent it well. I'll try and update both stories within the week depending on what I'm doing, but I'll try. Until then, Read & Review
