Katrina was laying on her bed, reading, when her computer beeped, telling her she had an IM. Curious to see who it was she walked over to her desk. It was from Katie.

Katrina immediately went downstairs to ask if Katie could come stay with them over midwinter break.

Ashley's yes, was immediately drowned out by Chris's groan. "No not another one of you in the house. One teenage girl is bad enough. Who knows what will happen with two."

Katrina mock glared at him. "Oh shut up. You know you love it. Besides if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't know anything about girls. I mean don't most of the girls you get date you out of pity anyway?" She shrieked as Chris growled and lunged at her playfully.

"Children!" Ashley scolded, but then she smiled, "at least take it outside." Chris picked up a laughing and shrieking Katrina, and tucking her under his arm like a football, ran outside, dodging her fists and feet the best he could along the way.
