AN: Hey! So it's been a while and even though that has a lot to do with the fact that I was working on another story, it's also because I simply keep forgetting about the drabbles. And I don't really think that's a good sign. As much as I've always loved writing these little things, I think I'm going to stop at 75. It's not because I think I'll never be inspired again to write some more, but simply because I keep forgetting about them and then I feel guilty because it really shouldn't take me two months to post a 200-words drabble. So yeah, we're almost at the end, guys! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing these, it's always meant so much to me!

As for the last drabble, thanks a lot for reviewing: OTHGirl24, A-dono, Lexie-Rae and emiiix!


72. Payday

"Hey, mom." Ellie said as she walked into the kitchen, a big smile on her face.

Peyton, who was sitting at the kitchen table, looked up from her paperwork, "Hey baby. How was work at the café?"

"Great." The girl beamed. "Plus, I got paid today."

"Oh, really? Guess Haley's letting you stay then, huh?" Peyton laughed, knowing that her youngest daughter had been worried that her aunt wouldn't think she had done a good enough job at the café the last couple days and that she wouldn't let her work there for real.

"Yep. She's pretty happy with me." Ellie grinned.

Her mom shook her head a little, "Didn't I tell you so? What are you gonna do with all the money?" Peyton asked jokingly, eyes all wide.

At that same moment, Keith came walking in from the living room. "She's buying me a present, duh." He grinned, taking seat at the table as well.

"I'm not buying you anything, you knucklehead." Ellie replied, making a face at her brother. "I'm going to save it for when I really want something and then I won't have to beg mom and dad for it, like you are known to do." She told Keith, who only rolled his eyes at his sister. For the time being, he was perfectly happy with begging his mom and dad for things.

"I think that's a really good idea, Elle." Peyton smiled.
