#34: Treat your siblings like family


"Shut up, dirtbag."

"Dirtbag? I've gotten worse insults out of my grandmother!"

"At least your grandmother would be better at pingpong."

"Would you two please shut up already?" Blossom shrieked at her sister and Brick. "You're giving me a headache."

"The wind gives you headaches, Blossom," Butch grumbled.

"All I'm asking is for like, five minutes of silence."

"Yeah, Brick. Silence. That means shut the fuck up or I'll beat you up." Buttercup clapped her hands in front of the red 'Ruff's face and he scowled.

"Ooh, now I'm really scared. Buttercup's bringing out the big guns. Help me." Sarcasm dripped from Brick's voice and Buttercup fumed, swinging her paddle back and smacking him square in the cheek.

"HEY!" Blossom asserted herself to the front of the room, slamming two hands down on the pingpong table. Everyone froze. "SHUT UP!"

And she stormed up the basement steps, slamming the door behind her and leaving the others in silence.

After a moment, Brick blinked and turned to Buttercup, "Best six out of ten?"

She grinned, narrowing her eyes and bouncing the pingpong ball on the floor. "You're on, dirtbag."
