Code Carrie
"She is not going to get away with this," Mina muttered to herself as she rummaged through her closet, "She is not getting away with this one bit, I swear it!" Mina stepped away from her closet and took a deep sigh as she rolled her eyes, "Where the earth did I put her diary? Where is my ninja suit?" Suddenly the bedroom door slowly opened and in came her sister Carrie Beff nonchalantly waltzing into the bedroom licking a red lollipop she was holding between her fingers. "What's this I hear about a ninja suit?" said Carrie. Mina turned to Carrie and looked at her younger sister endearingly, "Aw," she said, "You look so adorable!" Carrie rolled her eyes as she adjusted her black leather vest that she had placed over her green and black horizontally striped, long-sleeved shirt. Then she fixed her matching green and black, horizontally striped beanie that had the Newman skeleton logo in the center. She then looked down at her black, leather skirt, making sure that there were no stains on it and looked at her black, leather, knee-high combat boots to make sure it was well polished and shiny. "Mina, please don't coo at me like that," said Carrie, "I hate it when you do that." Mina only ended up cooing over her sister even more and went over to pinch her cheeks, "Oh, look at how cute you are, asking me to me to not fawn over how cute you are!" Mina took Carrie's face into her hands and wobbled it to the side, "So adorable," She hugged Carrie's head and smiled, "I love you!" Carrie groaned and lightly pushed Mina off of her, "Ugh! Okay, Sis thanks. I appreciate it. But I wanted to ask you something." "What is it?" asked Mina. "What were you talking about with that whole "ninja suit" thing?" asked Carrie. Mina looked at Carrie for a moment, now more seriously. Carrie had never been one to get involved in her older sister's business, especially considering the many times Mina had told her not to get involved with her relationship with Trina around the time the two were still best friends. Though Carrie had always been a little worried about her sister's wellbeing and tolerance of abuse by close friends and family, she knew it would be best to leave her sister be as Mina wanted and carry on being concerned about making her band famous. But now, she suddenly wanted to re-invite herself into her sister's life since Mina was no longer friends with the pink-haired wench. "N-Nothing," Mina said, shaking her head as her shoulders tensed up, "I'm not planning anything." "Don't try hiding things from, Bernadette," Carrie said with a stern face as she crossed her arms and leaned in closer to her older sister, "I've been noticing that you've been acting very suspicious around the house ever since you got home, and now I'm hearing about ninja suits. Whatever it is you're planning, I want in." "Why," said Mina all bewildered, "Why does it concern you anyway if I was acting so suspicious? I assure you," she said rising up her hands, signaling for Carrie to stop, "I'm not doing anything suspicious at all."
Carrie gave stared at her sister with a stern face and her arms crossed, then she finally said, "Tell me about it, I might be able to help." "But don't you have a date with that red-headed boy, Lenny?" Mina asked, "I mean you said that you had been anticipating on that date for weeks." "Yeah," said Carrie calming her face and shrugging her arms, "Only because he had these two tickets to a concert I really wanted to go to. Besides, I convinced him to let me keep one of the tickets he bought for tonight, so I could go alone in case I wanted to cancel." "Mina's eyebrows furrowed, "What? So, what did you decide to do then?" "I called him on the phone and canceled on him," Carrie said nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, " He seemed a little upset on the phone, but I told him that if I ever have another free night, I'll go somewhere with him to make it up to him," She shifted her eyes to the side and smirked. Mina knew that whenever her sister shifted her eyes and smirked like that when making a promise to someone, she was actually lying and likely going to purposely not keep that promise while avoiding that person at the same time until they forgot about what she previously promised them. Carrie was sneaky like that and often did that to Mina whenever chores were involved. "Carrie, that's kind of mean," said Mina, "You should've have stood up your friend like that." "What?" said Carrie, "Relax, it's not like I dumped him or anything. We weren't really dating anyway. Besides, now I have a free ticket that I can use for tonight. But before I do that, I wanted to see if I could help my older sister with something special." She smirked at Mina again, this time it melted into a more devious smile. Mina rolled her eyes and then looked away for a moment, then she looked back at Carrie and took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll tell. I'm trying to find a way to get revenge on my former-friend, Trina Riffin, and right now it's been a little difficult to find what I need to do because I can't find my ninja suit."
"Oh," said Carrie in a sweet tone of voice as she crossed her arms, "You can use mine." "Wait..What, you have one?" asked Mina with a puzzled expression on her face, "Since when?" "I've had it for months now," She nodded with a feeble smile, "I've been doing some work for a couple of people around town to get some extra money to buy instruments." "Extra stuff," asked Mina, "Like what?" Carrie pursed her lips as she shifted her eyes to the side again, then looked away from Mina for a moment, then she relaxed her face and looked back at her older sister, "Can't tell you; it's sort of classified."
