Hello All again!
This is the request from my fair little cousin, the moment it is based on is in my other fanfiction "what about the little sister" so it is more of a Missing Missing Moment than a Missing Moment. Also I hate doing Dialouge, it really annoys me and since this is based on a phone call dialouge was kind of hard to escape. Hayley i am going to kill you, I was pulling my hair out over this and im still not happy with it!
Thanks to all those who reviewed the last chapter. Same rules apply with this one. Review+Request=A Written Request and a some of my mini eggs, if you're lucky!

The phone was ringing, why the hell was the phone ringing! Who in their right mind phones someone at this time in the morning the day after a holiday! Okay so maybe Sky and I didn't have a raging party, the likes of which would have been happening at home, but after everyone left we broke out the whiskey and now I was regretting it. Thoroughly.
I could only faintly sense who it was and I groaned and groped around for the handset knowing full well that they wouldn't give up. I pressed the answer button when I found the offensive loud thing.
"Mmphh!" I could hear laughter on the other side, my annoying little sister's four year old laugh. I went right through my head. "Alwyn! Be quiet, my head hurts!" she laughed even louder, bloody little twat; she was going to pay for this. "Well, well big brother, long night?" she asked in that infuriatingly annoying voice, thank the goddess for small mercies that she was three thousand miles away and not here. Throwing glasses of water, or playing The Cardigans over and over and over, or some other cruel way of waking me up. "It was quiet," I replied and it wasn't a lie, it was quiet, two drunken witches don't make a lot of noise. "Quiet enough for your head to feel like Marie Antoinette's post guillotine?" why did, my little sister have such an annoyingly accurate way of explaining things. "Mmphh" I said again as I rolled over to bury my head in the pillow, I caught a hint of Morgan's shampoo, the trace left from when we had excused ourselves for a while last night. I was pulled out of happy memories by some more giggling, this wasn't good. If Alwyn knew even just a little about how gone I was on Morgan I would never hear the end of it, and for a girl who could hardly tell which way was up she was very good at figuring these sorts of things out. "Yes?" I asked, my voice in that don't you dare say a word or I will never give you a lift anywhere again tone, and it seemed to work because all she replied with was a slightly breathless "Nothing!" I waited until she had stopped sniggering. "Okay then Muttley, now that you can speak, was there a reason you called or was it just to wake me up to a horrible hangover?"
"My reasoning is the latter of course!" she replied sweetly, "and to remind you of the fact that my hangover was cured this morning with an Aunt Legh Morning After Fry-up." I groaned the mean little witch! "Alwyn! Stop it, I'm craving one of those right now and you're not helping!" she giggled again. I was really starting to hate that giggle. "So how are you this week?" she asked "No evil half siblings and their mothers trying to kill you?" I snorted "no, not this week, but it is only Tuesday so I still have hope." I heard faint scuffling in the back ground, I knew what was coming.
The next thing I heard was a thump and a squeal and a lot of swearing, then a sweet little voice came over the line: "Hunter?" it was Isla, sky's youngest sister and in many ways our little pet, she was always pampered to. "Yes Isla?" I replied, I couldn't help but smile she was just so sweet. "Oh good, right now this is what I know." Oh god! It was one of her tirades; my brain wasn't nearly awake enough for that! "Sky talked to Cara the other day about this new someone in her life; but she wouldn't tell me any details and I have to know now! Otherwise I will make sure that you do not get a care package for the next ten years!" I gulped at that, Aunt Legh's care packages where one of the very few reasons I wasn't losing my mind here, Isla had learned the manipulative streak from her eldest sister. I heard Isla scream and then my own little sister returned, "Don't worry big brother, I'll make sure you get your care package, Isla though as you may have noticed has decided to endorse the nosy-parker gene hidden on slightly below the surface, and is now gunning for biggest gossip in the county. Her attempts so far have been mild and therefore lacked the success she had desired, but as you can imagine any wannabe gossip queen would jump at the chance of something this big."
I could only imagine how Alwyn had gotten away with saying that; I gathered that she was probably sitting on top of Isla while dangling something of great importance to Isla over a boiling pit of lava. "You know little sister, I believe that it would be very conductive in Isla's dreams to become a Gossip Harpy to know exactly what her elder sisters social activities have been since crossing the Atlantic, but I'm not too sure if she really wants it that much." I could hear Isla's muffled demands, so Alwyn at least had her hand over her mouth. "See now I was thinking that as well, she is obviously does not have her heart set on this oh so admirable goal! So I fear she will just have to resolve herself to the idea that she will never know and thus never become Queen Isla of Gossi ... OUCH!! ISLA!! WHAT THE FRICKING HELL!!" Alwyn's yell was getting further away and I was returned to the finagling hands of Isla. "Isla? What did you do to my little Sister?" I could still hear her swearing in the background. "I only bit her! And I'm not happy with you either mister, how the two of you can have the audacity to believe my need for information is nothing more than sisterly concern and hope for her happiness!" I couldn't help but laugh neither could Isla "Oh, okay," she conceded "I want to know what exactly is going on between her and this girl Lark." "Raven." I corrected "Yes, yes Raven now tell me is it serious?" I couldn't answer I knew if I did Sky would throttle me, you don't grow up in a house with six rather unbalanced girls without learning a little bit about how their brains work. Thankfully at this moment in time Sky came into my room looking rough and rather pissed, I put on my best it's not my fault honest face! "Hang on Isla, Sky's right here you can ask her to fulfil your appetite for knowledge." I handed the phone to a very confused looking Sky and collapsed back onto my bed. Sky was answering in monosyllables, a sure fire sign that she wasn't taking in anything that Isla was saying to her, I waited patiently for it to sink. And for the blow up afterwards. It was taking longer than usual; I even had time to slip into half-sleep/half-day dream that featured a certain brunette in a starring role.
Unfortunately I was snapped out of a very pleasant place yell that came from downstairs; huh I hadn't even noticed Sky had left the room. I padded downstairs, wanting some form of entertainment and an argument between two eventide sisters was always extremely amusing. Sky was yelling at Isla that it was none of her business and it didn't matter what she looked like because Sky would rather be tortured by revolutionary Russian's than ever introduce Raven to our family. I had to agree with her there, I'm sure if Lenin ever met the inhabitants if the Eventide-Niall household the Romanov's would still be in control of Russia.
"WELL IT'S NOT LIKE I SAID I WOULD NEVER FALL IN LOVE! I JUST SAID I WASN'T GOING TO SIT AROUND AND WAX LYRICAL AND QUOTE SHAKESPEARE AND WAIT FOR LOVE TO COME AND HIT ME IN THE FACE! ANYWAY WHY AM I GETTING ALL OF THE HAVOC HERE! DIDN'T YOU LOT KNOW ABOUT HUNTER AND MORGAN!"
I heard the exclamations from here; in fact I am positive I would have heard them without the aid of the phone. I was cringing and I was going to kill Sky, Alwyn would never let me hear the of this. Sky gave me an apologetic look as she handed the phone back to me. "Yes?" I waited for my fate to come to me. "So..." it was Alwyn this was going to be bad, horrible, Stephen King would be cowering in fear if he was here to witness it, "when I was younger and watched Sleeping Beauty constantly and you proceeded to tell me that, in life fairy tales existed merely to appease those who could not face the reality of life and all its horrors, which by the way is untrue fairy tales existed originally to scare children straight and keep them on the straight and narrow path to righteousness, and tell me that true love was a farce made by those who invented Valentine's day, who would have thought that it would be me saying these very words. YOU'RE IN LOVE!!" she fell about laughing, then there was another thump and the line meant dead. I flicked my eyes to Sky she was staring at the phone like it was about to explode, a few seconds later it rang again.
"We could ignore it right?" I said
"They are a whole sea away, 354,700,000 cubic kilometers of salty water between us and them,"
"True, and by the time we go back they will have forgotten,"
"Maybe."
