Chapter two –

Rachel Curtis walked into her house to be greeted by her oldest brother, and little sister sleeping on the couch. Dani looked cold, so Rachel lifted her up off of Darry and carried her to the room that they shared. She laid Dani on her bed, and covered her. Dani didn't wake up. Darry, however, did. Rachel walked back out into the living room.
"Hey, Rache." Darry greeted.
"Hey." Rachel responded. "Thanks for calling the school and having 'em tell me not to go pick Dani up."
"Oh sorry, I forgot." Darry apologized.
"It's okay." Rachel told him. "So why'd she get suspended?"
"For cursing." Darry answered.
"You get suspended for that?" Rachel asked.
"That's what I said." Darry replied.
"Eh, oh well, we've all been in trouble one time or another for cursing." Rachel said.
"Yeah, but I don't want Dani to start cursing. She's not like you. It's obvious that she's not gonna grow up to be tough like you. She's gonna be the girly type. And you know how the girly types that curse are around here." Darry told her.
"You're right. I don't want her to curse either. But it's gonna be damn near impossible to stop it." Rachel concluded. Darry sighed but nodded in agreement. Rachel sighed as well. She flopped down on the couch next to Darry only to be attacked a second later a flying object also known as Dani. Dani had heard her, ran into the living room and threw herself at Rachel.
"Hey little one." Rachel said to her.
"I ain't little!" Dani said defiantly.
"Yeah, you are." Rachel said chuckling slightly.
"Am not!" Dani cried.
"You are," Rachel said. "Bur you're six, you'll grow out of it." Dani stuck her tongue out at Rachel.
"Oh, yeah?!" Rachel said pretending to be mad. "Young lady that will not be aloud in this house! You will now be punished!" Dani was shocked. That had never happened before. She felt like crying, but realized that Rachel had just been kidding when she started tickling her.
"Ahh!!! Get off!!" Dani shrieked in between hysteric laughs. "GET OFF!!" Rachel kept tickling her and Darry joined in. "NO FAIR!!!" Dani cried. "ITS TWO ON ONE!!! NO FAIR!" She was right. It wasn't fair. And it was even less fair when Soda walked in and started tickling her too. "STOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!" Dani howled. "STOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!! PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU!!!" Rachel stopped and Darry and Soda followed suit. All three were laughing, but Dani was glaring at them. She looked as murderous as possible for a six year old.
"Aw, lighten up, kid." Soda laughed.
"I ain't a kid!" Dani cried.
"Here we go again." Darry mumbled and put a hand over Soda's mouth just as he was about to say 'Yeah, you are.' Soda got the hint and just shrugged.
"So what's up?" He asked. "Why you home so early, Dar?"
"Because someone," Darry looked at Dani, "Got suspended."
"What'd you do?" Soda asked her.
"I cursed at someone."
"You get suspended for that?"
"It's been said." Rachel cut in. Soda shrugged and went into the kitchen.
"Cake anyone?" He called. Of course, being Curtises, they all said yes.
