The next morning October didn't feel like getting up. All she wanted to do was lay in bed.
"Wake up." Rebecca said as she came into the room. "We have things to do today."
October looked up at Rebecca. Her hair was sticking in all directions and she still looked half asleep.
"What kind of things?"
"We're going to spend sister time today. We leave in two hours. That will give you time to get ready, won't it?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Then October hid herself with her blankets. Rebecca walked over to the bed and pulled off the blankets.
"Hey!"
"No going back to sleep. I have things planned for today."
"All right I'm up." October got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.
As October was getting ready for the day Rebecca was sitting in the kitchen reading the newspaper. Rebecca had just finished reading an article about some priceless artifact being discovered when she heard a loud crash and October scream.
Rebecca put down the paper and went into the living room. "October?"
"I'm fine." October said from the bathroom.
Rebecca walked over to the closed door. "Are you all right?"
"I said I'm fine."
"What happened?"
"Just slipped on some water. Hey Becky, can you get me a broom and a dust pan?"
"What did you break?"
"Um well, you know that picture of you and me as kids that was hanging by the sink?"
"How did you break that? The shower is on the other side."
"Yeah, I kind of slipped and grabbed onto it, but that didn't help and I fell and the picture went with me."
Rebecca shook her head. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Keep me and love me. Now do you mind getting me a broom? There is glass everywhere."
"All right." Rebecca went and got a broom and handed it to October who wouldn't let Rebecca see the bathroom.
After a few minutes October came out of the bathroom and put the broom and dust pan away. Rebecca noticed she had wrapped her hand.
"Did you cut yourself?"
"Just a little."
"You're such a klutz."
"I know, but you still love me."
"Who told you that lie?"
"You did."
"Then I'm very good at lying."
Soon they left and went to breakfast. After that they went to the zoo. It had been a while since October went to one and she loved animals. When lunch time came around they ate in one of the little cafes inside the zoo. After they were done at the zoo Rebecca said they were going to do one more thing.
"No, absolutely not." October refused.
"Come on October, it will be fun."
"Fun for whom? I know it won't be fun for me. That's like torture."
"Please, October. Just this once."
October sighed. She knew she wasn't going to win this fight. "Fine, I'll go."
"I promise it won't be that bad."
The one thing October hated doing: shopping.
Rebecca was the one that enjoyed shopping and October despised it. She was the tom boy and never liked doing all that girl stuff.
The first thing they looked at was clothes. Rebecca could spend hours looking at clothes and trying them on. October tried to have fun, but it got boring after awhile. She didn't complain though.
Both sisters got a few outfits and then they headed towards make up. All October knew how to do with make up was put on eye shadow and mascara. Rebecca showed her different make up products and how to put them on. October knew she wouldn't be able to remember.
It was six o'clock by the time they got back home and both girls were exhausted. October didn't even bother putting away the stuff she had bought.
"Did you want to go to the museum tonight?" Rebecca asked?
"No, I think I'm just going to crash."
"All right." Then Rebecca left the room.
October's phone rang. She looked at the number and gave an irritated sigh when she saw it was the same number.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?"
October put on her shoes that she had just taken a few minutes ago then walked out into the living room.
"On second thought I think I'll go to the museum."
"What made you change your mind?"
"I just decided that I want to see everyone."
"It doesn't have anything to do with that phone call, does it?"
"Of course not. I didn't even answer it. I didn't recognize the number."
"Then we better get going. I need to talk to Larry about something."
"About what?"
"Nothing that concerns you."
"You're no fun."
"I just spent the whole day with you and you say I'm no fun?"
"Well, some times you can be."
The siblings laughed as they headed towards the museum.
