Emma woke bright and early the tiếp theo day, and sat up in her bunk. She popped her head out, and saw that only Skipper was up. She took a deep breath, woke herself up fully, and walked over to him.
"Hey Skips." She greeted brightly. Skipper gave her a surprised look, and turned back towards the bunks.
"Why are bạn up so early sis?" He asked wonderingly.
"Well I need to tell bạn something that i'm not sure you're gonna believe, but bạn need to know." Emma told him, picking her words carefully. Skipper perked up and he put his cá coffee on the table.
"What is it?" Skipper asked, his face growing serious.
"Urm, well...." Emma trailed off, not sure how to put this lightly.
"C'mon tell me." Skipper interrupted.
"Tia's evil!" Emma blurted out, quickly glancing to see if she was awake. Skipper just looked at Emma in surprise, and chuckled, earning a surprised look from his sister. She couldn't remember the last time he laughed.
"Pfft, you're joking right?" Skipper replied, grinning. Emma just stared at him, and the grin slipped from Skipper's face. "You're not joking." He realised, staring at Emma with confusion.
"Skips, she's the màu hồng, hồng creature that's enemies with the equa's in disguise." Emma explained.
"How would bạn even know that?" Skipper asked a hint of irritation and doubt in his voice.
"Because of a dream I had....." Emma began, only to be silenced bởi her brother.
"Emma, dreams are only dreams, they don't always tell the future." He đã đưa ý kiến dismissively.
"Well they do for me." Emma replied, her voice raising little. "And yesterday, her eyes flashed pink!" She added.
"You were probably hallucinating, now stop being stubborn, and get it through your head that she's completely normal!" Skipper said, his voice raising to a shout.
"Well she isn't!" Emma yelled, her face flushed with anger at her brothers blindness. Skipper Mất tích his temper, and slapped Emma's face with all the force inside him. Emma stopped immediately, and stared at him, in hurt and surprise. Skipper had never slapped her before, not even when she was being a pain. She put a flipper to her cheek, and her eyes became big and sad as tears stung the back of them. If felt like someone had thrown a sharp rock directly at her. Skipper looked at her and a flashback to when they were little entered his mind.
12 years ago..
Emma ran up to Skipper, her eyes full of tears.
"Woah what's up sis?" He asked, hugging her gently.
"I fell over." She whimpered, pointing to her flipper, which had a small cut on it.
"Aw, let me get bạn a bandage. Skipper said, taking her over to the first aid box, and wrapping a small bandage around her flipper, patting her head as he did. Emma began to smile, and Skipper smiled at her warmly. When he finished Emma hugged him tightly.
"Thanks Skipper!" She squealed, smiling up at him.
"Anytime, Emma, you're my baby sister and i'll always be there to protect you, and make the pain go away." He promised, hugging her back.
Present day...
Skipper felt awful, he had just done the opposite of what he promised her all those years ago. He hugged Emma tightly and she hugged back, a few tears falling from her eyes. He guessed that because of Emma's usual toughness, and independence, he forgot that she was still his little sister. It didn't really help that she was taller than him either. But the expression in her eyes then was the expression of a hurt, innocent toddler who looked up to her big brother like a hero.
"I'm sorry sis." He said, looking ashamed. He stared at her cheek, and looked up at her in concern. "It doesn't hurt too much does it?" He asked worriedly.
"The pain will go away soon." She told him, wiping the last few tears from her eyes.
"Now sis, I still don't believe you, but I shouldn't have done that, I crossed the line." He admitted. "I'm supposed to protect bạn and then I do something like that."
"It's ok, bạn just Mất tích your temper for a minute." Emma told him reassuringly. Skipper hugged her again, and smiled at her.
"It's still not ok for me to have done that." He remarked.
"Well you've đã đưa ý kiến your sorry, and that's what matters." Emma told him. She looked back towards her bed. "I'm going back sleep now. But Skips can bạn promise me one thing?" She asked.
"What is it?" Skipper asked.
"That bạn don't tell anyone what I told you, especially Tia." Emma replied.
"I promise." Skipper đã đưa ý kiến a solemn look on his face. Emma climbed back into her bunk, and turned to face the wall.
Well that didn't work. Emma thought sighing a little. I guess me and Kowalski will just have to prove it. She thought, closing her eyes and falling back sleep.
"Hey Skips." She greeted brightly. Skipper gave her a surprised look, and turned back towards the bunks.
