"Edward you better clean it up before mum and dad come home" thirteen year old Graham hissed at his twin brother. Both were standing by the dining table staring at the shattered remains of one of Nikki's vases. Flowers were scattered over the table and the floor, as well as the seats. Water covered the table cloth that was draped over the table and it slowly dripped onto the floor and chairs.
"Me?" Edward asked, annoyed "You were the one who didn't catch the pear"
"Dude how was I meant to know you were going to throw a piece of fruit at me?" Graham asked incredulously.
"I did call your name" Edward shot back
"You didn't tell me though" Graham said loudly "I turned around and was a bit too shocked at a pear flying at me to do anything other than duck"
"You were meant to catch it not duck and you said you were hungry so I threw you one" Edward sighed and shook his head "Come on lets clear up before mum gets home, I'd rather not have her give us the silent treatment, why can't she just shout and get it over with?"
"What do we tell her? And you know mum and dad don't shout" Graham asked as he carefully wrapped the broken vase in the table cloth and placed it in the kitchen, he picked up a tea towel and threw it to his brother before grabbing one himself and walking back into the living room.
"Tell her it was the cat" Edward called to him.
There was a moments silence as Graham frowned as he processed this information.
"We don't have a cat"
The prompt words were 'a pear, a dining table and a vase'..and this is what popped into my mind...not that I've done anything like this before . XD
