"I will always be a s t a r "♫Eli♫
Eli sighed, hearing yet another complaint coming from his sister's direction. "No, we're not any closer than we were two seconds ago," he muttered, gripping the wheel with white knuckles. She tapped his shoulder, "Not now, Naomi, I'm driving as fast as I'm allowed to since you won't quit pestering me about being there," Opening her mouth to speak, the boy cut her off, "No. More. Question. No more comments on how I'm driving, no more suggestion on how to get there. No talking," he said looking at her for a brief moment to see if she understood. Naomi stared at him and chewed the inside of her cheek, rolling her eyes she pointed ahead,"Tree," she said matter-of-factly. "Huh?" Eli turned to see they had driven a little ways off the driveway and were heading toward a big oak tree. He stomped the break and opened an eye to see if they were alright. He chuckled and sighed in relief as Naomi bolted out of the car.

"Smart move, bro," she called out as she skidded to a stop at the grand double doors of the mansion. Naomi whistled and gave a goofy grin as she entered the house. "This place is sweet," she muttered smiling. Tugging a little on her lifeguard sweater and fixing her worn out shorts, she walked around the main room, her super high tops making soft thuds. Naomi laughed and jumped on the couch, "This is gonna be fun," she looked around as people began entering. There was a small squeak and the girl stared at her pocket, a white mouse crawling out. "How 'ya doing Buster?" she gave a small laugh. The rodent skittered up her arm and perched her shoulder. There came and exasperated sigh and she immediately turned her head only to see her brother lug in all his bags and hers, a panting rottweiler behind him. She laughed, "Sorry Eli," and went to help him. She grabbed her purple bag, yellow duffel bag, and moose pillow pet, which she dumped on the couch next to her. Eli gave a quizzical look. "I'll do it later," she nodded, her brother chuckling, bring his many backpacks and instrument cases up the steps.
