A/N: To answer the question I keep on getting: spatzi means "sparrow". It's a pet name commonly used in German couples. :D I wouldn't be surprised if Ema didn't know what it meant, either!

This is the end! Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you especially to my beta reader, Pleading Eyes. 3 3 3 3


Lana Skye flitted around her younger sister's apartment with a duster, as was her custom early on Saturday mornings. It was her day off, and she tried to visit with Ema at least once a week. Ema was presently busying herself in the kitchen, trying to make lunch and cursing every now and then when her knife would get the better of her or something would start burning. Lana just smiled whenever that happened. Ema was never a cook, but she thought it was sweet that she tried so hard.

As she got to Ema's room, she noticed an old Polaroid on the floor next to her bedside table. She bent down to pick it up. There was a frame on the table that seemed like it would fit it--and as frames don't usually come in that size, Lana deduced it must have been bought specifically for it--but it hadn't been used yet. The default picture was still inside, a nameless couple bouncing around happily on some overly lavish spring set. Lana opened the back and took it out, crumpling it and throwing it into the nearby wastebasket.

She took the Polaroid and put it in the frame, but stopped for a moment when she saw the back--there were words written all over it.

My dear Detective Ema,

You now owe me $23 from our last venture together. You can, of course, make it up to me by seeing me for dinner this evening, as usual.

Ich Liebe Dich,

Klavier

Lana wasn't exactly sure what this little note meant. Last she'd heard, her sister was furious with Klavier--since when did he write her love notes? And since when did she have his autograph? Lana didn't think she was so unobservant as to not notice that her sister had a boyfriend.

"Hey, Ema!" Lana called into the kitchen as she set the photograph into the frame.

"What is it?"

"Why do you have your boss's autograph?"

"Oh, that stupid thing? Can you BELIEVE he didn't even use my name?" Lana looked at the front of the photograph. Sure enough, her name was not there, but Lana knew it was on the reverse side.

"Did you try looking at the backside?" she asked, knowing how absent-minded her sister could be.

"The back? Why would I look at the back? Who signs an autograph on the BACK of a picture?" A loud crash came from the kitchen and Ema yelped. Lana laughed and decided to stop distracting her, setting the picture so that Ema would see it on the nightstand.

'She'll look when she's ready…' Lana mused, and went on with her business. Some people took longer to grow out of their capricious teen years than others.
