"Rissa?"
Joey peeked into his sisters' room and found Marissa reading books as usual. The brainy 2nd dimensioner paused upon hearing her baby brother speak. She let go of her pull-up bars and smiled at the toddler. "Hey little guy," she chuckled and ruffled Joey's hair. "Are you reading that bird book again?" Joey questioned. Marissa nodded. "Yes, yes I am. They're so interesting to read about." She sighed and fell back on her mattress resuming her read. She blinked upon noticing a magazine in Joeys hand. "Hey what's that?" She asked and motioned for Joey to sit on her lap so the two can see the magazine together. "It's the school magazine!" He said excitedly. "Look! AltFerb's on the middle page!" Marissa turned to the page and her eyes widened upon seeing it.
"FERB FLETCHER OF THE 2ND DIMENSION: WINNER OF MR LADIES' MAN" was written in bold smack with a photo of Ferb wearing suspenders and holding a trophy. Marissa held back a laugh. This is pretty typical of her younger brother. "Well that's something!" She complimented. "If I knew Ferb when he's fine, he'll surely win stuff like this!" Joey laughed knowing that it's true. Marissa flipped through the pages to find something else. A couple flips later, she did at the first page.
"CANDACE AND MARISSA FLYNN OF THE 2ND DIMENSION: PROUDLY DECLARED AS HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT GOVERNMENT! FIRST INTERDIMENSIONAL GOVERNORS YET!
Marissa gasped. She and AltCandace are on the magazine! Joey hugged his sister happily. "You're so lucky Rissa!" He squealed. "You and AltCandy will be great police girls!" Marissa laughed and fisted her brother's. "Why thank you muffin! It's all about the wiseness and the elder attitude!" The five-year old giggled and ran through more pages seeing more articles from fifth grader Irving Du Bois winning a campfire song making contest and Milo Murphy receiving an award for the most interesting talk on his ancestor's law for History class.
The magazine was also filled with jokes along with contest applications and upcoming events like birthdays, school days and such. The two read on and on until Joey fell asleep in Marissa's arms as she finished the last page containing the info for the next issue. The bespectacled girl chuckled and placed the child beside her on the mattress. "You sure sleep when you reach the end of reading huh?" She spoke to him and yawned. "Well you know what? I'm the same too sometimes…" she gave a stretch before resting her head on the pillow, falling asleep with the toddler.
