“Alright,” Spencer said.

“Love you,” said Ashley.

“Love you, too,” Spencer replied. Bye, love. Spencer hung up.

“I have an early birthday gift for you, sis,” began Ashley.

“Do I finally get that pony I always wanted?” Kyla joked.

“No, but you’re close though,” responded Ashley. It turns out that Spencer and I are skipping the concert so you and jockstrap can take the tickets after all.

“You both aren’t going anymore?” Kyla asked surprised. You wanted to go to this concert for months. What changed your mind?

“True, but I’m helping my girlfriend babysit,” answered Ashley simply. Kyla laughed. What? I fail to find what’s so funny.

“You hate little kids,” Kyla stated.

“No, I don’t,” responded Ashley. I just can’t relate to them, that was the problem.

“Why was it when you went to the movies with a girl you went after 9 then?” Kyla questioned with curiosity. Is it to impress Spencer? I don’t know if you got the memo, but you’re dating.

“I’m well aware, sis,” chuckled Ashley. I wasn’t able to tolerate children in the past, but I am now. How do you tolerate a little kid?

“Are you seriously asking that question?” Kyla asked.

“Yes,” answered Ashley. You’ve always been so great with children. What’s your secret?

“To not show them fear,” Kyla stated. They live off of fear. You fear nothing, Ash. How old is the kid anyway?

“Six,” responded Ashley. Spencer says that her cousin is in the videogame phase.

“I wouldn’t know about that phase,” Kyla said. You always liked videogames. It’s a way to bond, sis.

“You really think so?” asked Ashley. What else do I need to know so I won’t look like an idiot or something?

“Don’t wear white,” Kyla answered. Ashley looked confused. Little kids tend to spill things a lot. Black is your best bet to wear and leave your hair in a bun.

“The kid’s not a baby,” laughed Ashley. He won’t just yank my hair.

“You never know,” Kyla stated. As for anything else, Spence already knows that you’re a novice in babysitting and she’ll be there.

“Thanks,” said Ashley. I owe you one.

“I got free concert tickets,” Kyla chuckled. We’re even. You must really like Spencer.

“No, I love her,” corrected Ashley. I’ll do anything for her.
