New beginings...where to start..tbd

"You'll say it someday." I assured him, "Mark my words." I laughed and smirked at him. "And when you do, I'm going to record it so you can listen to it over, and over and over agin." I closed the distance between us as I spoke and used my free hand to poke his nose, "You just wait and see." I tried to contain myself but it was useless, I started laughing so hard, tears formed in my eyes.

I rolled my eyes.  "Yeah, okay," I said sardonically.  I could not help but laugh along with her, though.  "The only way you'll get me to say that would be on my death bed or something..."

I sighed as I tried to contain my laughter, "You may be right but I can still try." I smirked at him, "Besides, it's not like you wouldn't try to do the same thing." I resisted my eyebrows slightly, pretty sure I was right about this as well. We would soon find out, I had just admitted he might be right.

I raised my eyebrows at my sister.  "Whoa," I said, stopping.  "Did I just hear what I think I heard?  I may be right?  I think that the 'may' needs to be removed from that sentence, sis."  I chuckled slightly, knowing that we were just going round and round.

"Um, no, no it doesn't, bro." I said with a shake of my head. "I can still get that recording, it just may not be as soon as I would like." I smirked at him and stuck my tongue again. "So no, at this time, you are not right. I still am though." I felt the need to point that out.

I shook my head.  "I have to disagree," I countered.  "The fact that you conceded -- even if just slightly -- shows that you are no longer right in any of this."  If Father could hear us bickering like this, we would both be in trouble.

"I did not concede." I informed him. "I think the only way to finish this is to say that we're both right." I knew it was true, we were both stubborn enough to keep this going on for a while longer but I knew we were just talking in circles now.

I scoffed at that, even though it was true.  "Alright, fine," I said, eyeing her suspiciously.  "But we're saying it at the same time... on the count of three."  I did not trust her to say it.  I knew that I was going to make her say it first -- even if it was only by one second or something.

I gave him a suspicious look, knowing he probably had a plan to get me to say it first but for now I didn't care that much. I figured I could use it against him later somehow. "Fine." I agreed slightly reluctantly. "On three. One, two, three, we're both right."

"We're both right," I said, only waiting slightly for her to say the first words.  I grinned at her.  "See, that wasn't so hard."  I stuck my tongue out at her playfully.

I stuck my tongue back out at him and laughed slightly. "I never said it was going to be hard." I informed him. "But you owe me for making me say it first." I wanted him to know that I noticed that he had waited to say it, even if only slightly.

I shrugged, looking as innocent as possible.  "I have no idea what you speak of," I told her nonchalantly.  There was no way I was going to admit to hesitating slightly to make sure she said it, even if she clearly realized what I did.  I was not completely daft.

"You do so know what I'm talking about." I countered. "You made sure I started saying it first, even if only slightly. Now you're going to owe me, big time." I turned to him, put my free hand on my hip and raised my eyebrow at him, daring him to try to convince me otherwise.

I shook my head.  "I owe you nothing," I said simply, "because you're acting mental.  I have no clue what you're going on about."  I grinned at her innocently as I could.  I knew she would see right through it, but I had to try.

"You do know what I'm talking about but don't worry. I'm sure I can think of something." I pretended to think about what he could do to make up for what he did but truth be told, I probably owed him more then he did me. I didn't want to bring that up thought, we were being ourselves and I didn't want to dampen the fun. "We'll just consider it an I owe you for now." I gave him a wink.
