A/N: Hello my lovely readers! Simone sure put a damper on this that last chapter, let's hope it's the end of that…or is it? Hmmm…

"And he scores! The crowd goes wild!"

Wilke's hands waved in the air for effect. He and Daphne had returned from their interrupted afternoon, and Wilke noticed how fazed Daphne had been by their unfortunate. Wilke had suggested a game of one-on-one basketball to ease the tension.

"That's what 10 to 7 sweetheart?" Wilke said, recounting the score.

"I can't hear you!" She said, as she focused in on the ball and stole it from Wilke, making a perfect shot.

"I believe that's 8 to 10 baby, and you haven't won just yet!" She teased and dribbled the ball further away from him.

He laughed and ran towards her, "We'll see about that!" She screeched as he grabbed her from behind. In result, she dropped the ball, and was left defenseless; hands were attacking her and she couldn't help but laugh.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Wilke stopped and noticed Toby come in. It wasn't until Wilke stopped tickling her, that she turned around, and saw her brother approaching him. Oddly enough, he seemed perfectly content, not upset whatsoever.

"Hey! Hands off my sister, man!" Toby joked.

Wilke chuckled, and watched Toby head inside. Both he and Daphne looked at each other with a confused expression.

Daphne and Wilke walked into the Kennish's household and saw Toby playing guitar in the family room. Soft and saddened music filled the air.

"Hi Toby…Can we talk?" Daphne asked.

Toby looked a bit surprised," Uh, yeah, sure…What's up?"

"Uh…well…about Simone…did she –Wilke? Little help here?"

Wilke shook his head and started, "Right, well….Look man, she –"

Toby sighed and interrupted. "Guys, guys, I appreciate whatever you're trying to do but, I don't want to talk about it."

"Alright, that's understandable, but uh, if it's worth anything, we're sorry man, we knew how much you liked her" Wilke said apologetically.

Toby scoffed in response, and stood up, "Yeah, well, no big deal. I'd rather be alone for now, you know?" He said as he walked past Daphne, his back now facing her.

"Yeah, got it." Wilke said in response.

As he was about to walk past Wilke, he stopped and leaned towards him. "Take care of Daphne, eh? Don't forget she's still my little sister." His saddened voice with a hint of gratitude.

Wilke nodded in response and let Toby leave without any further words.

"What did he tell you?" Daphne asked, appearing behind Wilke. He turned to face her and claimed it was nothing.

"Just a guy thing." He replied nonchalantly.

She raised an eyebrow, and Wilke took the opportunity to ease the tension. His playfulness returned; he grabbed Daphne and pulled her over his shoulder, and went on to resume their game.
