I'm currently working on a very nice, very long one-shot challenge, which will take a while to edit, so I can't promise any more chapters soon. Hopefully this will tide you over, but in the meantime - the companion fic to this one, entitled Siblings is up and running. Perhaps you would like to take a look at it, no?

TK huffed in a silent manner once more, turning his back towards his persistent and incredibly annoying older brother.

Matt was here for the same reason he'd been here last time: to complain unnecessarily about something that he thought TK was responsible for.

"Listen, Matt," TK argued for the fifth time, "I can't do anything about it. It's already been published."

"Can't you make like, an afterword or whatever? Anything to undo the tradgedy you've committed?"

Another sigh, another growl of frustration.

"I don't see what the problem is. You've admitted it yourself—you were a jerk to everyone."

"That doesn't mean I want THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW!" Matt's angry voice thundered, making TK cringe at the loud decibels he produced.

Wasn't there a better way to solve this than making his delicate china rattle from all the yelling? Couldn't Matt just accept that it was done for creativity's sake?

"I will not accept this, TK. You wrote in those books that I was nothing but a jerk to everyone during our time in the Digital World. You made me look like some dumb, anti-social guy who was hated by the vast majority of EVERYONE!"

"Once again, Matt, you have become the best at what you do—exaggerate. I didn't only write about how much you disliked the others, and how much they disliked you. All I did was incorporate and expand on that fact in the storyline so it became more apparent to readers how much you changed throughout the course of the story. If you'd read the whole book, instead of just the first few chapters, you'd know this."

Now Matt was the one huffing and turning his back on his brother. TK grinned at his victory, trying not to cackle at Matt's uneasy acknowledgement of the truth.

"Whatever," he finally spat out, "but this doesn't mean we're done. I'm still going to get you back for this, TK." As he packed up and walked towards the door, Matt added, "And for the record, buddy, you failed to mention how much of a total brat you were."

TK slammed the door as he walked out, cursing his brother for his unnervingly accurate statement.


Ah, the woes of Matt.
