AN:It's finally here. After months of writer's block and a lot of family drama. Here it is the third chapter.

XXXX

Dot had avoided her older brother all day. Not even daring to look him in the eye. She hadn't spoken to him since this morning when she stormed out the door and was content on keeping it that way.

She hadn't even bothered to answer back when Wakko texted her and told her when he would be home.

The Warner held onto her jacket just a bit tighter as the wind blew slightly colder. She huffed as she continued to think about that morning.

She continued to watch her feet hit the ground until she reached her destination. Lack of sleep has really been getting to her. She hadn't heard or seen anything weird today. But, regardless sleep deprivation was getting to her and she was growing sick of it.

She was about to enter when she felt her phone vibrate violently. She pulled her phone out of her purse and tried to see what it was about. Maybe not even a second after looking at it. She regretted it. It was from Wakko.

'He should know I'm not talking to him. And all his stupid text is a question mark because I didn't reply earlier'

As Dot thought this, she let out a groan of annoyance and frustration. That's when she heard a voice beside her.

"Woah, what's got you upset?"

Immediately the youngest Warner knew who it was

"Hey Skippy, and it's nothing… just a fight with Wakko this morning"

"Oh, it sure didn't seem like nothing"

"...Let's just get to class before we're late"

"Are you sure you're okay? You looked really out of it in class today"

'What is it with everyone and asking if I'm okay'

As much as Dot loved her friends, this brown squirrel was starting to get on her nerves

"I said I'm fine Skippy" She said while slightly gritting her teeth.

Skippy gave her a look that basically screamed 'I know you're lying to me' but regardless let it drop "Okay, fine, just let me know if you ever wanna talk about it… I'll always be here for you… you should know that by now"

The Warner let out a sigh "I know Skippy, I know"

'But, I really don't wanna be a… burden… to you'

Skippy then put a gentle hand on her shoulder and Dot gave a faint smile.

"I appreciate you being patience with me"

"Anything for a friend… Now how about we go grab some lunch?"

"Sounds great"

"WAKKO! I'm not sure what's got you so distracted today. But I need you to get back to WORK!"

The said Warner jumped and turned around to face his boss He gave a sheepish smile and said "Sorry miss, I'll get right back on it"

His boss huffed "That's more like it" she said before walking away, the sound of her heels clicking slowly fading out.

"Woah, Wakko… never heard the boss yell at you like before.. what's got you so distracted today?"

Wakko sighed "Hey Buster… I had a fight with Dot this morning and now she's not talking to me"

"That's rough"

"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure she was truly okay, but she just pushed me away"

Buster was silent but it was only for a moment "...Y'know maybe she just needs some time for herself… I know you haven't really left each other's sides since the accident… But, she may need some time to think on her own… and will come to you when she's ready"

Wakko sighed "You're right… I'll leave her be for now and she'll come to me when she wants to talk"

Buster shot him a small smile and placed a hand on his shoulder "It gets better… now we should get back to work before the boss really gets on our tail"

"That's sounds it would hurt"

Buster snorted "You know what I mean"

While Wakko was smiling there was still one thought that ran through his mind

'Just give her some time'

Dot let out a wide yawn as she walked through the door of the apartment. She was so exhausted but can't really do anything about that. When y'know you can't sleep.

Though she couldn't help but notice how her eyes seemly on their own glances warily towards the area where she could have sworn she had seen a light the night before.

She quickly shook her head, brushing away the thought of it.

'Settle down Dorothy….it was just the lack of sleep talking'

"Maybe I can take my mind off of it, with some nonsense TV" she muttered to herself and slowly made her way to.

The youngest Warner sat on the couch and picked up the remote with her gloved hand brushing against the small buttons of the remote

As she turned on the TV she started just to flip through channels either to find something actually good or just out of boredom she honestly didn't know.

She finally settled on a channel that she at least found decent and as she started to watch it. She felt her eyes get heavier and heavier. She didn't even realize how the remote slipped from her hand onto the floor as she fell into a dreamless sleep.

Wakko walked into the apartment to see the lights still on and the TV still playing. He raised an eyebrow confused. Dot was usually in bed by now.

"Dot, are you awake?" He Received no response.

'Oh, right she's still not talking to me'

He walked over to the couch to at least see his baby sister's face. When he realized that she was just asleep.

"Oh" He whispered.

He picked up the remote off of the floor back onto the table where it first was turning off the TV as he did so.

Afterward he turned to his sister. He gently scooped her up into bridal style in his arms. As he do so he felt her stir in her sleep making her head lean against his chest.

He smiled softly as he moved into her bedroom and set her down on her bed. He made sure to tuck her in tight so she would be nice and cozy.

Wakko nuzzled his sister's forehead gently.

"Good night sis" he whispered as he left her room. He would have to apologize tomorrow. The Warner knew that Dot needed to sleep. He wasn't really sure when she had last done so.

After all, tomorrow is a new day

Beep. Beep. Beep

That was the sound that the youngest Warner awoke to at first she tried to ignore it and bury herself back into her blankets.

Wait, blanket?

This caused Dot's eyes to snap open and she realized she was no longer on the couch but in her bedroom.

'How did I get here?' She thought to herself before it hit her.

"Oh, I have a brother… he must have moved me" she muttered as she reached over turning off her alarm and kicked the blanket off of herself.

Another thing she realized as she reached out for her door handle. She had slept a full eight hours. She had lost a lot more sleep than that but baby steps are always a good step in the right direction.

As Dot walked out of her room she met the gaze of her older brother.

"Dot… I'm glad to see you finally got some sleep"

Dot just nodded moving into the kitchen to fix her plate. She then heard her brother sigh.

"Look, I know you're still mad at me but I'm not going to force you to say what's going on with you… if something is bothering you… I know you'll come to me when you're ready to talk about it. So, forgive me… please?"

Before Wakko could process what was happening his sisters arms were thrown around him "Of course I forgive you, ya big oaf… Thanks for understanding"

Wakko smiled and returned the hug "No problem, sis"

Dot then smirked as she pulled away from the hug "You're still a dork though"

Wakko smirked too "You'll pay for that remark" he stated as he moved his hands to poke her hips.

The youngest Warner squealed and ran away with her older brother not far behind her and for the first time in a while. Their apartment was filled with laughter.

AN:It's done. This chapter was so hard for me to come up with ideas and not to mention the lack of motivation was horrible. But, I hope you folks enjoyed what I managed to write. Things are about to get a lot weirder for Wakko and Dot.
