Everything seemed to freeze; pause; completely stop. Chuckie was staring with wide eyes at his older friend, Angelica, who was staring down at her sister with a poisoned glare on her face. Her arm was aimed to the right, because she had just smacked her baby sister across her face. Susie was whirled around, a clearly pissed-off expression on her face, and her fists were clenched with her mouth slightly ajar. Kaylee was springing back, cheek red, as she had just been officially bitch-slapped by her big sister.

Time lurched into motion.

Kaylee squeaked while Susie and Chuckie hollered at her sister, and stared up at the blond with huge, watery eyes. "I don't understand! Why don't you like me, I'm so nice to you!" She wailed, screeching at the top of her lungs while she held her cheek. Angelica screamed at the top of her lungs, and easily masked her sister, so much that passerby from the park started to raise their heads to the commotion. "Because you just jumped into my life both feet first!" She threw her hands up in anger. "All week it's been 'Be nice to Kaylee', 'Kaylee doesn't know what's going on!' I don't know what's going on, okay?!" She bit back, tears finally streaming from her eyes in front of her sibling.

"Angelica that's enough, fuck off!" Susie finally snarled at her as she tackled the blond, pulling her back and successfully restraining her arms. Angelica was in so much stress she just closed her eyes and cried, mumbling something to herself, while Susie painfully attacked her. "Leave her alone! Jeez, Ange, you're so selfish!" Chuckie joined in the ruckus, fueled by his anger from his wet t-shirt. He pointed an accusing finger at her and yelled, "She's a kid! You can't go whomping on her!"

The eight-year-old watched the pair verbally and physically attack the girl, and how the tears never stopped falling from her face. She stopped biting her lip and cried out in hysteria, stomping her foot, "Can't you guys leave us the hell alone?!" They froze, even the park attendees gasped, and stared with disbelief at the chunky kid. She crossed her arms and met her sister's weak gaze, for once the emotions between them reversed. "I don't want your help, I want my big sister to talk to me. I'm eight, not four. Leave us alone, we don't need you! Angelica!" Kaylee barked, "Talk to me! What's going on?"

Angelica grinned slightly, breaking away from her friend's grips, and put her hands on her hips. "I want more info on us before we just become all lovey-dovey and the perfect family-type. I want us, our family, to help us understand." The sisters gave each other stern, sharp looks, but said nothing. Angelica kept her pouty pose while Kaylee's arms remained crossed and she kept looking superpissed.

Without so much as blinking, the teen waltzed off back the way she came, a saucy look on her face. Kaylee stared after her patiently, and when she disappeared from view, followed in her footsteps, biting her lip with a strong irritated expression. "Thank you, you guys. We're good here." She told them lazily and kept walking.

Susie and Chuckie watched, then the black girl shook her head, curling her lip. "I am just about done with the Pickles! The whole family's lost it!" She reported to her redhead friend, and turned heel and continued into the park of aghast people. The boy stood rooted at the spot, and awkwardly pulled at his wet tee. "I think I am just going to go home and pretend this day never happened," He shrugged, and looked up, exasperated.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"So," Angelica started slowly, now that her baby sister had caught up to her. "What are we gonna do now, Kaylee? Talk to mom and dad?" The brunette shrugged, twirling her hair around her finger, back to her annoyingly cheerful stage. "I don't know, Angelica. Lets not tell them. We can just grow up with nobody noticing." The two walked in silence, approaching the blond's front door step.

Angelica stared at it with a mushy feeling in her stomach. "My thing is, we shouldn't really be fighting, kid. We're too much alike."

Kaylee looked indignant. "Nuh-uh!" Her porky face fumed. "I am much nicer!" They looked at each other and busted out laughing, and the teenager wrapped her thin fingers around her wrist, pulling her towards her, their, home.

"More like a fallen angel," Angelica whispered to herself.

End

oOoOoOoOoOo

Ok, I rushed the ending, but hell it was getting boring. Let me know what you think.
