"Rey! Rey!! You've had forever to pack!! Hurry up!!" An irate Shinn calls up the stairs. He is at the front door, waiting for his oh-so-slow brother to finish packing. He had been waiting forever!! Well, that was just his childlike mind's exaggerations; it couldn't have been more then half an hour.
"Okay, okay!! Shut up and I'll go faster!! It's impossible to pack with your irksome voice pestering me every time I try to remember what I was trying to remember when you last interrupted me!" Rey spat. He was starting to regret agreeing to take his brother on this trip and they had hadn't even left the house!
"Hey! It's not my fault you're a slow packer!! And it's not my fault you forget everything that takes place ever three seconds. And stop using big words like ikersome and petester, I don't understand what you mean!!" Shinn whined.
"Your miniscule brain would be able to comprehend my enhanced vocabulary if you didn't use all your brain power trying to get me into trouble!!" Rey allowed himself a small smile; he had taken care to use 'big' words just to confuse his brother. It was mean, but he hoped that it would get him to shut up for at least three seconds, something of a miracle if ever achieved.
"ARGH!! Stop doing that!!" Shinn whined as he gripped his shaggy, black hair in frustration.
"Whatever. Let's just get going." Rey sighed as he stepped out of the kitchen with a large duffel bag. He had made sure to leave a note for their parents if they got back before they did.
"Finally!! What were you packing? The whole kitchen?" Shinn exhaled.
"Nothing but necessities. Food, water, clothing, a tent, sleeping bags, flashlights, extra batteries, a few lighters, flint, a knife, a first aid kit, etc." Rey listed off the top of his head, not mentioning that he had taken extra blankets and bandages for fear of what his brother could do to him in the wild.
"What are you going to do with all that stuff? What's with the knife?" Shinn asked as he prodded the bag.
"They are necessities. What are you going to do if you are attacked? That is the reason for the knife." Rey stated closing his eyes as he took a brisk step towards the door. "Come now, aren't you the one that wanted to go?" Just get this over with. He added in his head.
"Ah! Wait for me Rey!!" Shinn yelled as he ran after hs brother, taking five steps for every one his brother did, Rey walked fast.
"We'll stop here for the night." Rey announced as he dropped his bag on the ground and proceeded to put up the tent. Shinn collapsed beside him. "That-was-great!!" He cheered, out of breath. Rey rolled his eyes, his brother could be so troublesome, all of the time. Oh well, he hoped the full-day hike had tired out his brother so that he would get some sleep that night. It was not to be.
"Rey, you're doing it wrong!" Shinn called. "The spike goes on the other corner." He pointed lazily to the opposite corner of the tent Rey was working on.
"Whatever just get some sleep." Rey rolled his eyes, but put the spike where his brother directed him. He blushed in embarrassment at having been caught doing something as foolish as messing up the tent.
It took fifteen minutes, but the tent was finally set up. Rey fell back on his sleeping bag and prepared to let he welcome arms of sleep take him when he was jolted awake by his annoying younger brother.
"Rey! Rey!! Let's tell ghost stories!!" Shinn squealed as he jumped on his brother's stomach.
"Agh! Shinn, no!" Rey shouted. "Let me sleep!!" He cried. He knew it was hopeless; Shinn would get his way eventually.
"Aww. But that's no fun. Ghost stories are funner!!" Shinn pouted. Rey tried his best not to look at the face; the puppy-dog eyes and the sad pout playing on the cute face. It was all in vain.
"Alright, alright!! Just, don't look at me like that, okay?" Rey sat up, making Shinn fall to the floor in the process. He was hoping on tell a story so scary, it would make Shinn to scared to ever request them again. He smiled at the thought until the sad truth hit him. He didn't know any. He always sucked at ghost stories. In camp when they were telling them by the fire he would have had long gone to bed. He sighed in defeat. "Alright, you start."
