Lauren and Amy finally turned into the street they lived on, both in high spirits. They had gotten the cinnamon, the lines at the WalMart short and the cashier quick and efficient, and had sailed down the highway with very little traffic to hold them up. Overall the trip home was turning out to be quite lovely.

"I can't believe it," Amy began as she smiled gleefully. "Its 5:20, we'll get home with minutes to spare."

Lauren smiled as well. "Yeah you didn't totally fuck up our trip to the store!" Her smile turned into a smug smirk as Amy began to glare at her.

They were about ten houses from home when Lauren's car jolted violently. Within the same moment Amy looked out her side mirror and watched as Lauren's tire rolled across the road and into someone's front yard, knocking a decorative lawn gnome on its ass.

"Lauren!" Amy screeched.

Lauren stepped onto the break hard, bringing the car to a screeching halt and making the car jolt violently again.

When the car finally stopped and Lauren had it turned off, both girls hopped out of the car and immediately assessed the damage.

"Holy shit!" Lauren screamed as she stared at the axel without a wheel. "How in the fuck did this happen?!"

Amy just stared, momentarily speechless. She only looked up when she heard a loud growl come from Lauren.

"Dammit!" Lauren stated, phone in hand. "Its 5:26, we're damn sure not going to make it now."

She didn't know if it was Farrah's potential upset or the utter defeat in Lauren's voice that made her do it but suddenly Amy snapped into action. She quickly retrieved the cinnamon and Lauren's keys from out of the car and then grabbed Lauren's hand as she took off down the street toward the house.

"What the hell are you doing?" Lauren yelled as they ran down the sidewalk.

"We are going to make it!" Amy yelled back. She was determined not to fail her mother or Lauren.

Lauren shook her head in disbelief but kept on running.

And soon enough they were soon running up the lawn, something Lauren would've probably complained about in other circumstance, and at the front door of their house.

Amy jabbed the Lauren's keys to the lock and when they heard a click both girls pushed the door open and scrambled through the doorway clumsily causing them both to fall on their hands and knees, directly in front of Farrah.

Farrah looked up from the phone in her hand at Amy and Lauren on the floor with wide, surprised eyes. "Girls! I was just about to text you!"

"Time!" Both girls demanded.

Farrah took a quick glance at her phone. "5:31."

Amy and Lauren smiled at each other as they hoisted themselves up from the floor.

"Close enough." Amy stated and then she thrust the cinnamon in Farrah's direction.

Farrah frowned as she took the cinnamon. "Well actually girls I decided that maybe I should bake a pie instead."

Amy groaned internally. no, No, NO!

Lauren's left eye and jaw began to twitch. "Farrah," she began through gritted teeth. "Make the DA-"

"B-beautiful, wonderful cobbler." Amy interjected just before Lauren lost her mind all over their mother.

Amy's face was plastered with a big fake smile that looked physically painful as she spoke the words. She made sure to subtly glance in Lauren's direction after finishing. Lauren caught on rather quickly and put on a very similar fake smile.

"Yeah," Lauren began with total confidence. "You should make that beautiful, wonderful cobbler!" Lauren said with the fake smile (looking more real at the moment) still plastered on her face and a believable amount of cheer in her voice.

Amy silently thanked Lauren for falling into the act so quickly and perfectly, especially since she had been about to snap at the woman before.

Farrah, having hadn't noticed Lauren's irritation or the exchange between the two girls, smiled hugely. "You girls really think I should make the cobbler?"

"Yes!" Both girls yelled as they shook their heads up and down vigorously.

Farrah's smile grew. "Well I better head in the kitchen, huh?" Both girls nodded their heads quickly.

As Farrah turned away from them and headed down the hall toward the kitchen, Amy and Lauren looked at each other and sighed with pure relief. However, the moment ended as quickly as it began because just before Farrah passed through the archway leading to the kitchen she turned back.

"By the way, it's so great to see you two getting along so well!" Farrah stated happily and then she was gone through the archway and into the kitchen.

Lauren and Amy turned to each other and burst into hysterical laughter. They laughed so hard that their eyes filled with tears and their stomachs began to hurt. It seemed to have just exploded from inside the two, like the events of their entire day, not just what had Farrah said, had just been realized by the two.

After several minutes both girls began to calm down a bit. Amy was the first to speak.

"Hey do you want to go into the living room and watch a shitty movie on TMC or FearNet?" Amy asked a bit breathless. "I mean we still got an hour and a half or so before the dinner party starts."

Lauren knew she should grimace at Amy and then tell her rather smugly that they needed to get washed up for dinner but instead she smiled. "Why the hell not?"

Amy smiled back and then took off down the hall. "Last one on the couch is as moldy donut!"

Lauren stood stunned for a second before taking off after Amy. "Screw you, Amy! You damn cheater!"

When they were both settled on the couch and watching Drive Way Clown Killer, Amy turned to Lauren with a look of concern etched across her face.

"What about your car?"

Lauren, still staring at the TV, shrugged. "Fuck it."

Even though she wasn't looking in her direction, Amy smiled at Lauren. "Yeah, fuck it."

Lauren's lips curved into a small smile.

And for once, albeit silently, Amy and Lauren truly agreed. Both thinking that maybe this sister shit wouldn't be so hard after all.
