We all filed into the van once again. Once we all managed to get in, I asked, "How long until we get there?"

"We just got in the car!" Damian rolled his eyes.

"Hey, it's not my fault I want to see my sister who is NOW SEVEN YEARS OLD!" I yelled.

"Hey, no need to yell at me," Damian said, putting his hands in the air.

"No, you yelled at me first," I said, sticking my tongue out at him.

"You two are so cute," Travis and Connor said, placing their chins gently in their hands and stared at us.

"Ew, will you stop that?" I complained to my brothers.

"To answer your question, Trish, we'll be there in maybe half an hour," Will said.

"Thanks, Will," I said.

For the rest of the time, the four of us in the back, which included me, Damian, and the Stoll's, bickered with each other and caught up.

Once I realized where we were I started getting nervous. "Hey, are you okay," Damian said, placing a hand on my arm.

I stared at it for a second before responding, "I just can't believe that Coral is seven. I missed her entire childhood just because I was stubborn and wanted to bring her along on a quest."

"Hey don't beat yourself up," Will said from the passenger's seat.

"A little too late for that don't ya think?" I said rolling my eyes.

I suddenly felt the van come to a stop and I peered out to see the building Sally lived in staring at me right in the face.

I swallowed hard as we got out. Damian offered me a hand as I stepped out, but I ignored it.

"It's like a foot off the ground," I told him, "I don't need help."

"As you wish," Damian smiled as he placed an arm around my shoulder.

"Ew, don't go all princess bride on me," I said, making a face.

"I'm surprised you know what princess bride is," Damian laughed.

"I only know what it is because we had to read the screenplay of it and then watch the movie afterward in sixth grade," I said sticking my tongue out again. (True story, it sucked.)

I could literally feel the Stoll's eyes burning into the back of our heads while we walked in front of them.

Once we all reached Sally's apartment door, I took a deep breath and stepped up to the door. I knocked and it opened shortly after. "I'm here to pick up my sister," I said.

Thanks for reading! Sorry it's kinda short, my WiFi hasn't been working again and I wanted to get two out today, one for today and one for yesterday, but I couldn't come up with anything to write all day so it's pretty late now. But I promise to get at least two out tomorrow.
