Having It Bad

"Gimmie it!" Sam roared while pushing and punching his year younger brother Chris for the remote control to a battery powered toy car.

"It's mine!" Chris yelled right back and giving as good as he got in the fighting department.

Daria rounded the corner and sighed before taking another step closer and clearing her throat very loudly to get their attention.

They instantly stopped fighting and Sam said, "Hey Daria."

"Sam," Daria replied gently, "Why are you fighting your brother for his car?"

"Cus mine's dead!' Sam pouted and stomped the ground in frustration.

Daria suppressed her irritation at her immature little brothers and said, "Well it's his car Sam, why don't you play with something else until yours has a full battery?"

Sam Morgendorffer began to protest this but one glare from his older, bigger sister caused him to have second thoughts and he gave the right answer.

"Ok Daria." he said with a shuffling of his little feet.

Daria rewarded them both with a smile she reserved for special occasions, or her little brothers and said, "Ok then, now you two go on along, and no running down the stairs!" she added as they both tried to bolt.

As they slowed their pace, while under Daria's watchful gaze, the teenager couldn't help but remember what she had seen at the Griffin residence the night before when she was stuck working with Sandi on Barch's science project.

"I thought I had it bad dealing with two little brothers," Daria said to herself softly at the horrible memories of what was apparently the normal state of affairs there, "I couldn't imagine dealing with a little sister, much less one like that bitch Quinn Griffin!"

She then shuddered at the thought of dealing with either one of those nitwits on a daily basis, it would probably have driven her to madness.

"Or murder." she thought darkly and then chuckled at that while walking away from the stairwell and she nearly tripped on Chris Morgendorffer's toy car.

"I could have broke my leg on that." she thought with a snarl once she righted herself and picked it up, fully intending to find them both and make them put it back in their room where it belonged.


NOTE: I wrote this way back in 2012 and forgot all about it until I started going through all the old stuff I wrote. I decided it was too good for the 'Scenes that should not be' thread. Not sure if I'll continue this or just leave it as is.
