I would like to thank a very special source that wishes to remain un-named she gave me valuable in site into the relationship between an older brother and his younger sister.

Rick and I quickly moved into Alexis' room.

"Hey guys, lets order pizza before mom can cook something." I raised an eyebrow.

"Our mother is good at a lot of things but cooking isn't one of them." Alexis admitted. I nodded Castle left to go order the pizza.

"Kate what was all that screaming before?" Alexis asked curiously. I grinned at her.

"Well your brother was admiring himself in his room and was a little startled when I came in."

"Why did you go into his room?" I opened and closed my mouth I had no answer for that. Alexis' smile grew. Then Castle walked in.

"Pizza's all set."

"So what should we do while we wait? Do you want to play some board games?" I gave Alexis a sympathetic grin.

"Lex if we are going to play with something it will not be made of card board." I eyed Castle's body appreciatively. Alexis' raised her eyebrows at me.

"How about we do each other's hair?" Alexis asked. I grinned; I had been itching for some red highlights.

"Perfect!" I told her. Castle left the room and we got down to business by pulling out all the things we would need. When half an hour was up I had some amazing red highlights and Lexi had an electric blue streak.

"Wow, Kate you look really good, my brother won't be able to take his eyes off of you! And I love my hair!" Alexis squealed. I was relieved that she liked it 'cause it didn't seem much like her personality.

About five minutes later Castle walked in with the pizza. He looked at Alexis and his eyes darkened. His eyes, usually a sky blue turned to a deeper ocean blue I felt like I was drowning in those gorgeous irises.

"Kate, what the hell did you do to my sister?" He shouted at me. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. I had never been this scared in my life but I also oddly felt safe. It was like I knew that he would not hurt me. Even though it was irrational, I trusted him. I mentally scolded myself I had only known this kid for two days!

"I put a streak in her hair!" I yelled back defiantly. Gosh I felt like I was talking to my father.

"You're a bad influence! She is not that kind of girl!" He got right up in my face when he was saying this.

"What kind of a girl is that?" I asked.

"Rick, don't be upset I like my hair." She pleaded. But Rick was already way beyond caring.

"You know damned well what kind of girl I'm talking about Kate. I think it would be wise for you to stop hanging around Alexis." Oh, hell no. He would not tell me what to do. Alexis spoke up before I had the chance.

"You can't tell her to stop hanging around with me! I'll just hang out with her." Alexis yelled getting frustrated.

"That damn streak is working already!" With that he slammed the door. I turned to Alexis.

"I can't believe your brother!" I said grabbing a slice of pizza. We started giggling.

"I know he just wants me to stay a little kid!" We ate quickly and the pizza was soon gone so we went downstairs to throw out the box and grab some scary movies. Ms. Rogers was downstairs.

"Hello Alexis! Your hair is fabulous! It's perfect; you needed a pop of color!" She told us animatedly.

"You think so? Rick hated it." She sighed as if worried about disappointing her brother.

"Oh poo, he is such an old man sometimes." Then she spotted me.

"Well hello dear, I suspect you did her hair?" Ms. Rogers acted like she hadn't sent me to go meet Rick an hour earlier.

"Yes, Ms. Rogers, I'm Katherine Beckett and I'm glad someone in this house likes her hair." I grinned.

"Oh please dear call me Martha, and I'm sure Rick will warm up to it sooner or later." Martha smiled warmly at us. For the rest of the night Alexis and I pigged out on popcorn and watched scary movies until our eyes wouldn't stay open.

Uh-oh Rick seems pretty mad will he and Kate ever get along? Will he hate her guts? No one knows except for me! Haha
