Ugh my Mum and Friends are trying to kill me I swear, they want me to wear MAKE UP!

Warning: this one contains mild slash (if you squint)

"Hey Tag, Thorn" Saphira brightly exclaimed as she climbed into the car beside Eragon, "thanks for picking us up, oh and just so you know Thorn, Dads threatening to throw your stuff out as he says you spend more time round Tag's then you do home."

"Which one?" the red head said whilst mumbling under his breath "bloody hypocrite"

"Gleadr of course and before you start going on about him being a hypocrite and who knows what else, it's because both him and Oromis miss you. They're happy that you're happy with someone of course but still, you're never around anymore and Firnen's no fun to tease especially now he's with Arya" Saphira finished her rant with a well practised pout and puppy dog eyes which led Murtagh to wonder how his little brother ever won an argument with her but then he'd perfected the same expression himself.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, Eragon gazing out of the window, Saphira sulking and Murtagh and Thorn exchanging sly glances.

Murtagh decided that it was time to tease his little brother, "So, Era, which film did my beloved's psychopathic sister drag you to then?" he heard Thorn mutter the word 'adopted' next to him and had to stifle a laugh.

"First off I didn't drag him to anything we'd made a deal, secondly Thorn I can hear you while you mutter so I know that you said I was adopted which, while true, is a low blow and thirdly," here Saphira stopped to swat her brother's head, "and thirdly I am not a psychopath, I am just a girl who is good at manipulating boys with less than two brain cells to rub together, well in your case anyway. Eragon is a different matter entirely, for him I use a combination of blackmail and charm."

Murtagh burst out laughing and was greeted by not one but THREE glares from one pair of blue eyes, one pair of brown eyes and one pair of amber eyes. He flashed a smile at the amber eyes and they soon softened with love.

"Now Era please answer my question which film were you blackmailed into seeing then?" he asked his brother again.

Eragon muttered something incoherent whilst Saphira opened her mouth to start another rant.

"I'm sorry, Era I didn't quite catch that, what did you say? And before you say anything I know you didn't blackmail him you 'charmed him' happy?" Murtagh only received a death glare in reply from his brother.

"Eragon! Stop pulling that face and anyway Tag, if you must know, we went to see..." A hand was quickly clamped tightly across Saphira's mouth.

Thorn turned to Murtagh with one eyebrow raised, "I think that tells us all we need to know love. So pipsqueaks how was 'Twilight'?"

Luckily for Eragon they pulled up outside the Drache household before he had to answer that question and he dashed out of the car shouting over his shoulder, "Thanks for the lift Tag and Thorn, oh and tag remind Mum that I'm staying round Saphira's. Bye!"

The hurried shout made everyone laugh.

"No problem Era, but I'm warning you, get my little sister pregnant and I promise you that I will kill whatever is left of you when Dad's done with you!" Thorn called after Eragon, which resulted in a slap from a blushing Saphira before she ran after her friend.

...

As the pair entered Saphira's kitchen they were greeted by one of her dads.

"Hey Saph, Era. How was the film?" Oromis asked.

He was answered with a "good" and an "awful". He had to grin at that, his daughter truly had Eragon wrapped around her little finger, that or he never learnt from his mistakes.

"Have you eaten? No? Well I'll heat you something up then, sorry Saph, I was the one cooking so it's veggie but there's ham in the fridge if you can't live without meat for one meal." As Oromis paused to concentrate on lighting the gas ring under the ratatouille he'd made Saphira bounded to the fridge and tore some ham off the joint.

A few minutes passed in companionable silence as the ratatouille heated up and they lay the table.

As Oromis started to dish up onto two plates a man with golden hair walked in "Mmm, something smells good love, what is it?"

"Ratatouille and as I said to Saph, there's meat in the fridge if you cannot live without it, and can you get out another plate whilst your over there?"

"You know me too well darling, so kids how was the movie and did you pass on my message to your brother Saphira?"

"Gleadr, I've already asked them how the movie was, Saph loved it, Era hated it – and what message was that honey?"

Saphira and Eragon bolted down their food and made to escape the room as they saw a dangerous light flash in Oromis' eyes.

"Umm..."

"We're just going up to my room, thanks for tea, see you later"

They ran out of the room giggling.
