Author: Sorry it's been awhile. I've been caught up in school and Star Wars. Which Yoda rocked in. Also suggestions have been helpful and in some ways I do use all of them, just not right away.

Disclaimer: Same as in ch.2.

Claire walked over to where the two boys stood. The grin on her face increasing. 'What the hell is she doing.' Chris's mind complained 'And why the hell is she doing it now.' He watched as his sibling walked across and stop a few feet in front of them. Chris noticed that Leon had the same look he must have had A look that said 'Not now'. That was what Chris was gonna say but Claire spoke first. (Which wasn't a good thing.)

"You better stop fighting Leon or I'll call you mom, and you better stop to, Chris or I tell Mommy on you too."

Yea, Claire had said all this aloud a her voice allowed her and she said it in her 'I'm telling' voice that kids use when the want to tattle- tail. Leon stood there shocked and as embarrassed as can be. Chris at first was ginning when Claire had told Leon off, but the second she said 'Chris' and 'Mommy' in the same sentence his eyes widened. He glanced around praying that at that second everyone had gone deft and didn't hear her. Fat chance.

At that time Chris's gang had landed on the ground in laughter and the kids who were watching all had smiles. Leon wanted to get out of there as soon as he could. 'Why did she do that. This isn't like Claire at all.' He noticed Chris was just as shocked as he was. Thinking of Chris lead him to the pain in his wrist from being pinned to the ground so hard. Leon knew it was now or never. He took his last glance at Claire before making a mad dash. Everyone watched him run (the opposite of Claire and Chris's direction) to the fence, over the fence and down the street.

It was Chris's turn to make his exit. He was ready to leave and he was taking Claire with him. Looked to where she used to be standing, saw no Claire but a voice. This time not as loud.

"Chris, you know it was for your own good." The voice came from Amber. She was by the swings still. Chris could also see Rebecca and a Girl Chris might have meet before since she had a familiar face. Behind her was the trying-to-hid, Claire. Chris would have notice but he was still looking at the girl in front of his sister. He looked her up and down till their eyes met. They stayed locked like that.

Claire saw this and took it as a good distraction for Chris. She ran from her position and toward the exit of the park.

Claire ran but she knew Chris would get her and sure enough he saw her flee. He ran after her, caught her, and flung her over his shoulder. (like Shek did to Princess Fiona, and it can be done. I do it to my little bro sometimes)He walked with her like that to the end of the street where the park ended. Claire complained but she knew there was only one way to get down and her legs couldn't reach. She could reach his stomach that was no good cause she tried that before. At the end of the second street Claire was finally put down, as her brother caught his breath.

"What was that about Claire?" Chris asked when he caught his breath. Claire knew that he knew that she would never do something like that regularly. She adored Chris. Sure he was mean sometimes but he would never do anything to embarrassed her like she did to him earlier.

"Well, what's your excuse." He asked when she didn't answer.

"Can you wait till we get home?" She stare into he eyes. (Hey, she's not dumb she knows how to get guys to do as she pleases). It worked. Chris nodded and they started walking home ward.

At first that walked in silence. Claire mind ran as she tried to think of what to say.

"I made a friend today." She said, Chris just glanced her way once. Then Claire knew how to get him talking.

"You know that girl, by the swings, whom you couldn't stop staring at." Claire said this in a cool tone. She continued to look straight. At first she thought he was going to say what he always says when it came to girl 'Just seeing what kind of freak you got for a friend.' Then she would yell, 'my friends aren't freaks.' He'd laughed and yada yada yada. But He was silent.

' Boy is he really pissed at you.' Claire told herself. When the got on their lawn, Claire thought she was gonna burst out crying, the whole trip he hadn't said a word. She even tried some jokes that always made him laugh. But nothing worked. They got into the house, Chris headed for his room and Claire did nothing but follow. He left his door open when he entered which meant she could come in. Which is one of the house rule. 'An open door lets in, a closed door blocks out.'

The room was as messy as any. Chris sat at his desk and spun his chair around to face her.

"Are you mad at me." Claire asked. Chris's faced changed from a mad one to a sad one. It went back to mad when he said.

"It depends on why you decided to do that in front of all those kids today Claire."

" Well,..." She had to tell him something, saying it was Jill idea wouldn't do because although it was they were taught not to do something someone tells you to do, unless, you want to take the blame for it.

"Well why do you have to fight Leon, you know I like him." It was true Chris somehow knew when she liked and whom she liked.

"That's not the point Claire, besides you never said anything the other two times." Chris sat back in his chair.

"Yea, well it wasn't even my idea so back off." Claire spat out. Chris leaned forward this time.

"So who's was it."

"Jill's."

"Who."

"The girl you were staring at, at the park."Claire stated.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Chris said flatly.

"You know the girl by the swings who I was hiding-"

"Ya, I saw her, I meant I wasn't staring at her like you said I was." Chris cut her off.

"Yes, you were."

"No, I wasn't."

"Yes, you were to infinity and beyond."

"Claire that's not the point."

"Well then what is."

"I just want to know why you would embarrass me like that." He said with his hands in the air.

"I didn't mean to say it so loud Chris I just wanted you two to stop fighting honest." Claire stared at the ground as Chris was in thought.

"You know it's none of your business when I fight, and just because he's your friend doesn't mean I can't fight him."Chris said finally.

"Why did you fight him anyway." She asked.

"He said stuff that's why."

"What did he say."

"Ask him he's your friend."Chris said. There was a short pause where their mom walked in to announce they missed lunch and snack was on the table if the got hungry. They thanked her and she left. When she could hear the footsteps on the stairs Claire asked.

"So are you mad at me."

"I should be." He said but then added. "I am disappointed in you though."

"What's that mean."

"Forget it." Chris said as he turned back around in his chair.

"So, you're not mad."

"I said no didn't I."

"You said you should be." Chris tuned he chair at her.

"Claire!"

"Okay, I 'm going." She ran over hugged him and ran back to the doorway.

"You know from what I could tell by talking to her and stuff I really think Jill might like you." She said. Before he could respond she had shut the door to her room, which is right next to his. Sitting there he thought of the things Claire said and decided Monday at school he would talk with Jesse. Not just to see where it came from and if what Leon said was really true, but to see if Jesse could find out as much as she could on this Jill character.

OK I know it was kinda boring with all the talking but I needed it there. Anyway the next chap. is better people like, "Carlos, Mr. Wesker, and 'Nemesis?!" Yep and you'll just have to wait to find out how I put them in.
