A/N: Here's the next chapter! This one is set a few years in the future, so Edith is around eleven and Margo is fourteen. Thanks for the reviews so far! I appreciate it so much!
Chapter 9: A Girly kind of Day
Edith came home from school in a good mood. For her, that was unusual and Margo was curious as to what made her normally sullen sister so giddy. Edith went up to her room after school and Margo followed.
"What's up?" Margo asked her little sister as Edith sat on her bed, humming to herself quietly.
"Oh, nothing."
"Edith? You're really happy and I've never seen you this way. What's going on?"
Edith sighed happily and turned to her sister. "His name is John."
"You-you have a crush?" Margo asked, incredulous.
Edith nodded, a sparkle in her eyes.
Margo sighed. She thought she would never see the day that Edith would fall head over heels for a boy. Just a few years ago, she said 'eww' whenever anyone showed any form of affection.
"So, what's he like?" Margo asked, curious to know who the guy that stole Edith's heart was.
"He has really pretty brown hair and blue eyes and he's really sweet! He just moved here, so I'm being nice to him."
Margo chuckled. "Do you think he likes you, too?"
"He better! Or I'll rub his face in dirt!"
Margo pulled her sister into a hug and chuckled. Her sister had officially entered the boy-crazy phase, but she was still her mischevious self.
Edith sighed. "How do I get him to like me?" She asked suddenly.
"Just be yourself." Margo said as if it were the simplest thing on Earth.
Edith shook her head violently. "No, because all the guys at school think that I'm a tomboy. I wanna be like you and Agnes, graceful."
Margo sighed. "You're a really sweet person, Edith. He's going to like you, I know it. Do you guys talk?"
Edith nodded. "I just don't know what to say, though. I don't want him to think of me as just a friend. I want him to like me."
"Don't treat him as just a friend. Make jokes and act girly around him. He won't be able to resist you."
Edith smiled. "Thanks, Margo. I love you."
"Of course, Edith. I love you, too."
When Edith got home from school the next day, she went right up to Margo, all excited about her day.
"He likes me, Margo! We were just talking and he told me that he has a crush on me!"
Margo smiled at her sister. "See? What did I tell you?"
"I really owe you one, Margo. You're the best!"
"No problem."
Gru and Lucy were standing in the doorway and Gru silently groaned.
"Oh. Eet begeens again."
