You follow Len into your room. He gathers up the pieces to your disguise and places them on your bed. There is a beige trench coat, a black skirt, and a matching beret. You have a pair of glasses that you like to wear with the outfit. They make your eyes look abnormally huge, but in a cloyingly adorable way. Personally, you don't care if people notice you, but the guards say you have to disguise yourself.

You sit down at your make-up table and carefully begin to wipe off your make up. You take down your hair and begin to restyle it in the hair style that commoners call "pig tails." You have yet to understand why this is so.

"Len?" you call.

"Yeah? What do you want?"

"Get out so I can change," you say rather sternly. Or at least you hope.

"Aww c'mon Rinnie," he teased. "We used to take baths together."

"No." You glare at him. "We were young then. I'm a developed woman now. So get out."

"More like underdeveloped," he mumbles, barely loud enough for you to hear.

All the blood rushes to your head and start hitting him with the nearest pillow.

"Okay, okay! Ow!" he starts laughing and running towards the door. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving." He walks out of the door and shuts the door behind him. A couple seconds later you hear the door creak open. "Bye, Rinnie."

You throw your pillow at him, but he's already shut the door. You yell in frustration.

You stop by your mother's study before you leave to let him know your going to the market. "Mom?" you see her lift her head from the pile of paper work. "Me and Len are going to buy apples in the market."

She removes her glasses and gestures for you to come to her desk. "Len and I, sweetie. Not Len and me," she says kissing the two of you on the head. "You two be careful, okay?"

"Aaaaaah Mom! I'm twelve years old now! I don't need you kissing my forehead everytime I leave the house!" You stare open-mouthed at Len's sudden outburst, and then you turn to your mom. You begin to laugh uncontrollably and she follows with a quiet laugh that you know all too well. After the laughter subsides you begin to smile quietly to yourself.

"What's wrong Rin?" your mother asks.

"Nothing," you say. "Just thinking about Dad. You know, I am happy he's in a better place now, but I still miss him a lot. I'm really happy I have you two though." you let out a rare, genuine smile. "As long as I have the two of you, I'll be fine. I love you guys."

Your mom pulls you and your brother into a hug. "We love you too, Rinnie. Right, Len?"

"Yeah," Len says. "We love you too."

After a couple moments, your mom lets the two of you go. "Well," she says, "you two might want to hurry up if you want to get the good apples."

Len's eyes go big at that realization. "Oh yeah! C'mon Rin, we gotta go!" He darts out of the room without a second thought. "Bye Mom!"

"Bye!" your mom calls out the door. "Take care brother okay?"

You raise your hand to your forehead. "Yes'm!"

Your mom lets out a laugh. "I'll see you when you get back. Bye Rinnie."

You give her a quick hug before running out the door. "Bye Mom!"
