"Brother, will you play with meeee?" Luigi could only think of how wrong this sounded as his ten-year-old sister, Carmella, danced around him, chanting the words.

"I will not," he mumbled, untangling her from his leg. Didn't she know by now that he didn't play? At least…not in the way she wanted.

"But…but…" The girl's eyes got wide and tearful, her bottom lip sticking out. Luigi winced, giving in only slightly.

"Go…find Pavi! Play with him." Not the best idea he'd ever had.

Carmella's face twisted in disgust. "Pavi's weird, and his room smells funny! Guess what I found under his bed last time I went in there!" She grinned, excited about sharing her gossip.

Luigi crossed his arms. "I am really bus—"

"Mayonnaise! A whole lot of it, too!" she cried, throwing her arms up for emphasis.

He cleared his throat, about ready to throw up. Not mayo, not mayo, was all that was running through his head. There were many things wrong with Paviche, including his tendency not to clean up.

"You know what," Luigi said decidedly, turning toward the door, "I'm going now."

His sister gasped, grabbing his arm. "But brother! This is a gross injustice!" Gross injustice?, he thought. Only someone as nerdy as her…

He spun around, stooping to her height, their faces quite close. "Get yourself some friends!" he snapped, yanking his arm from her grip and stomping out of the room.

Carmella plopped down on the floor and began angrily picking at the rug. Nobody ever wanted to play with her, not even her father. Everyone was always so busy. Pavi, fucking his Genterns; Daddy, always at work (especially since Marni left); Luigi…busy doing whatever it was he did all day. Perhaps she didn't want to know. She silently thought about what her brother had said and realized, with horror, that it was true—she had virtually no friends.

The girl stood up and walked down the hall, hands stuffed in her lacy dress.

Stepping into the elevator, Carmella looked up at all of the buttons, and pressed her floor. After a short ride, the doors opened and the numbers 2 and 5 blinked above the door. Someone stumbled in, all giggles, almost running the girl down. She quickly realized that floor 25 was where Pavi had been all day, and now there was someone with him.

"Hi, Pavi," she chirped, watching him and the long-legged Gentern for a moment.

Her other brother looked over, startled. "Oh, you're-a here." A grin spread across the sixteen-year-old's face—not yet masked by someone else's.

Carmella nodded. "I was going to my room…"

"What a coincidence! I was-a just going to-a my room!" he cried happily, his grin never faltering. His sister frowned, turning to the door, and Pavi continued to make out with that day's catch.

She exited the elevator straight away when they reached the top floor. With her gone, things would ensue that no little girl should have to see—not that she hadn't before.

Her room was a disgrace to the Amber Sweet she would become. The bed was neatly made, her bookshelf was actually used, and a thick book labeled Business Science was lying open on her desk. The dolls in the corner were all put away, and each one of them looked completely normal. She was confident that she would inherit GeneCo, which her brothers so often fought over. Rotti was proud of her, but setting his sights mostly on his eldest; all that was getting in the way was the guy's sky-high temper.

Carmella stepped into her room slowly, cautiously opening her closet. Instead of the clothes that would call it home sixteen years later, the closet was filled with modest dresses, jeans, T-shirts…nothing skimpy in the least. Until now, she had not noticed how different she was from the Genterns, or the women on TV—and she was. And that was why no one wanted her.

Something had to be done about that.

A/N: Yes…this is my first Repo! fic since discovering it last November. Is that sad? Well, I suppose I've been busy. Anyway, I decided to have my first one be about Amber because…well, I think she's interesting, frankly. She's not my favorite character, though I like the Largos as a rule, but I've always wondered what made her be how she is. I decided to find out for myself…and this is what's happening O_O Hopefully, this story won't be too long. It'll revolve around Luigi/Amber mostly…and not largocest XD I don't mean like that. You'll see.
