"Big brother?" Mariah asked, looking back and forth at the girl and Kai, but not getting a response. Kai was starring blankly at her as if he was in another world, but very slowly a slight grin appeared on his face. It took awhile but Mariah finally realised that he was looking at her rather unusual uniform, and she blushed with an angered look and took off her cap.

"Um.so since when have you had a sister?" she asked, trying to get his mind off the bright pink and yellow uniform. But Kai was still smirking at her.

"Well I didn't know you looked so good in ice-cream so let's call it even!"

"And I didn't know my big brother had a girlfriend! Auntie Louise will be happy to know that!" Kailena laughed. A horrified look appeared on Kai's smirking one.

"Why don't you ask one of the other waitresses for the ice-cream while I talk to this one?" He said, attempting to get rid of the noisy sis. She nodded and walked away. Mariah gulped as Kai went and sat right opposite her.

"So are you going to explain? I thought it was just you and your grandfather, and I didn't see her at the Russian tournament, so where did she come from?" Kai ignored her and went straight to the question plaguing his mind.

"What's with the outfit?"

"What's with the sister?" Obviously she wasn't going to let this go so he began to explain.

"With my dad, gone and my mum..my aunt and grandfather fought for custody over us.in the end we were separated. My grandfather only wanted me to be a part of biovolt.a girl was of no use to him. But we still kept in touch.every now and again she'd write.misspelled letters and drawings of everything she'd done and seen, I gave her updates from my side. But my aunt decided that with my grandfather behind bars, that I might have been lonely or something, so now she's made herself at home." Kai explained, Mariah nodded in acknowledgement. And looked towards the innocent girl.

"She's a sweetie!" she smiled. "Nothing like you!" she winked. Kai raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah right!" he smiled.

"Well, there's no big story to my outfit..its my job!" she laughed, but Kai wasn't laughing with her in fact he looked pretty serious.

"Mariah, I've actually be meaning to talk to you, about the carnival.."

Mariah gulped *damn he just had to bring that up didn't he!* she thought. And she nodded for him to continue.

"About what happened..." Kai really didn't know how to continue, and she could tell, but she didn't exactly know what to say either.

"KAI!!!!" screamed Kailena.

"I got lots ice-cream..see?" she smiled as she held up a load of ice-cream in her hands. Kai and Mariah both smiled lightly until Mariah's watch went off.

"I got to get back to work...but...I get off a 7:00.if you want to talk or something." she smiled.

"Sure, I'll be there." He replied grabbing Kailena's hand to take her home first.

"I'm not going anywhere big-bro" she whispered as she gave an evil smile.
