"Rey!! Rey!!" Shinn calls up the stairs. Rey is in bed reading a book.
It's always quiet until he shows up!! He thinks as he closes his book.
Loud thumping is heard and seconds later his room door bangs open.
"Rey!! Rey!!" Shinn shouts.
"I'm right here!! No need to shout!!" Rey reprimands his brother.
"Rey, you've gotta come see this!!" Shinn bounces around, going up to his brother and giving him a shove to the door.
"Hey, what are you-wait up-don't push-AGH!!" Shinn had just pushed his brother into a wall.
"I can walk by myself!" Rey straightens himself up and walks out the door with Shinn bounding at his heels.
"You gotta see this, you gotta see this!!" Shinn yelps like a hyperactive puppy. Some days Rey thinks he was adopted, how can someone as mature as him be related to that?
"What is it you wanted to show me?" Rey asks.
"You'll never guess!!" Shinn laughs and runs ahead.
On the kitchen table is a map. The map has a dotted line leading from their town to a X on the others side.
"Shinn, where'd you get this?" Rey is suspicious, the thing looks like a treasure map, but things like that don't exist.
"I found it!! It was in the mail box!!" Shinn seems proud of his find.
"Well, we've got to throw it away." Rey sighs and picks up the map.
"What? No no no no no!!" Shinn runs after his brother and stops him from opening the trash can.
"IwannagoIwannagoIwannago!!" Shinn whines.
"No, Shinn. We don't even know what this is, or who put it there. Besides, stuff like this is stupid." Rey opens the trash.
Shinn's eyes well up with tears and he drops to the floor on his stomach in full-tantrum mode.
"IWANNAGOIWANNAGOIWANNAGO!!" He screams, banging his little fists on the ground and thrashing around.
"Whoa! Shinn, stop this!" Rey tries to lift his brother off the ground but gets a kick in the face for his efforts.
Finally after fifteen minutes of thrashing, screaming and getting hit on Rey's part; Rey has got his brother in a restraining hold.
"Okay, We'll go, but only if you stop screaming and listen to me." Rey tells his brother.
Shinn nods, not being able to move anything but that one inch with his head.
Rey lets his brother go and studies the map.
"This'll take a long time, Shinn, go to your room and pack what you want in your backpack. I'll study the map and be with you later, meet at the front door in half an hour, got that?" Rey commands his brother. Shin jumps up and runs to his room to begin packing.
This might take a few days; maybe I can just take him to the store on the other side of the hill and call that where the map is. No, he'll drag me somewhere we'll get lost. I'd better pack an emergency kit, and food, and water, and blankets…
So, fully intending to go on this trip with his little brother, Rey goes off to pack.
Well, that was chapter two folks!! Yui, this one's for you!! Anyway, I can't wait to find out what Shinn's gonna make his brother do. Your reviews will make Rey happy, and Shinn more energetic.
