(I don't own anything at all.)
Meanwhile, at Gordo's house...
Gordo knocked on his big sister's bedroom door. She would know what to do. She was the best. "Come in!"
"Hey, Esther."
"Oh, hey David," said the girl sitting on the bed doing her homework. She had brown hair and blue eyes like her brother, only her hair was straight and a bit lighter. She was also a bit overweight. Certainly not fat but there was some unnecessary inches on those hips. Gordo always confided in her. She was a junior in high school and loved her younger brother like nobody's business.
"Can I talk to you about something?" he wrung his hands, looking upset.
"Sure, what's the matter?"
"It's Lizzie. She's being completely ridiculous about this thing with the school play. You see-"
She cut him off, "She doesn't like your having to kiss Miranda."
"Do you have like big sister E.S.P. or something?" he asked. She always told him what his problems were before he got them out.
"Yep." She said, putting her books off to the side.
He gave a laugh and started pouring his heart out. "Look, she just completely chewed me out about the whole thing and I'm not sure but I think she may have broken up with me."
"No chance of that. If she's getting mad because she's trying to keep you, she wouldn't break up with you."
"Good point." He hadn't thought of that. "But what's going on with her? I tried over and over to tell her that nothing is going on and Miranda even told her that in the beginning of all this madness. I should just quit the play and save my relationship. She won't listen to anyone."
"David, don't quit the play. She'll come around. And if she doesn't I'll talk to her. Maybe she just can't hear this from either one of you. She might think you're hiding something."
"But won't she think you're just defending me because you're my sister?"
"Poppycock! When have I ever lied?"
"Well...never."
"Lizzie knows that. Trust me. I'll put a band aid on this situation for you." She smiled at him.
"Thanks, Essie." He smiled at her. She reached over and gave him a big hug. "So, are you still stage managing the play?"
"Of course, I have to keep an eye on my baby brother." She winked at him and smiled. They seemed to smile at each other a lot in that family. There was like a smiling epidemic that couldn't be stopped that night for some reason. Gordo thought it was cool but he also thought it might be fun to smack Esther with a pillow. Of course she retaliated and they had one big pillow fight until her psychadelic lamp fell over. Then it was time to avoid broken glass and tell their parents the cat did it.
