…Sights and sounds of chaos. We stepped into the foyer of Karyn’s home. To the left was the living room and
to the right was the dining room. Directly in front of us was a hallway that led to the kitchen. In all of
those directions we could see chairs knocked over, knick knacks out of place, and other general signs of a
struggle.
It was then that I remembered Karyn’s brothers. Karyn was her family’s eldest child, now aged 21. She had
two younger brothers, named Chad and Aaron. Chad was 18 and Aaron was 14. I could hear the sounds of a
struggle emanating from somewhere towards the back of the house.
Karyn looked at me with worry on her face. “Joey, I don’t know what my brothers’ names are now!” she said.
“I wish that Karyn and I would know the names of her siblings,” I said. Again I felt briefly hit by that
unseen force. Once it passed Karyn and I looked at each other and said simultaneously, “Cady and Erin!”
“If they’re doing what I think they’re doing,” Karyn said, “then they aren’t much different.”
We headed to the kitchen. We found Karyn’s siblings, sisters now, wrestling with each other on the floor. I
remembered Chad and Aaron frequently getting into arguments and fights with each other, but this seemed to be
on a different level. They yelled at each other but I couldn’t make out what they said.
“What the fuck are you doing?!?” Karyn shouted at the top of her lungs.
At that instant the two sisters stopped fighting. They untangled themselves and stood up. This gave me my
first look at them. Cady appeared to be more or less fully mature. Her breast and penis size seemed equal to
me and Karyn. Erin, on the other hand, was still in the process of puberty. She had what appeared to be A-
cup breasts. I couldn’t be sure because, being new to breasts myself, I didn’t know how to accurately guess
size. She did have a penis that was still very small in size. It did not appear that she had developed any
testicles.
“Oh, look who it is, Erin,” said Cady.
Erin chirped in, “Oh, great, the boss and her girl toy.”
“Ready to try someone new?” Cady asked me. “Someone better?” I didn’t know what to say. I looked at Karyn
and she looked ready to explode. “Uh oh, she’s going to blow her top,” Cady added sarcastically.
Suddenly Karyn began to laugh. I was confused. I looked back at her sisters. They looked confused. I
chuckled nervously. So too did her sisters. Just as suddenly as Karyn began to laugh she stopped and
shouted, “You idiots!” The rest of us ceased our laughter as well. “What was it this time? And where are
Mom and…Mom?”
“Mom and Mom went on an overnight trip,” said Erin.
“Why didn’t they tell me?” Karyn demanded.
“Because you left your cell phone here,” Erin protested.
“They knew where I was,” Karyn said.
“They left in a hurry,” Cady interjected. “They didn’t say why. They didn’t tell us anything except ‘Be back
tomorrow, listen to Karyn.’”
“Ah ha,” Karyn said. “That’s why you two were fighting.” She turned to me and said, “Since neither likes to
listen to me, they were trying to see who was going to challenge me.”
“Yea, it would have been me if Cady hadn’t hit me in the tit!” whined Erin.
“You don’t have tits,” said Cady. She lightly backhanded Erin in her breast. Erin reacted painfully. “Ha ha
ha-ha,” Cady laughed rhythmically.
“See?” Erin said. “Joey, take my side,” she added.
“Joey’s not taking sides,” said Karyn. “Neither am I. I’d prefer to have a relaxing night…”
Cady cut her off and said, “So you two can do it all night long?”
“Enough!” Karyn shouted. Cady laughed at her. Clearly something bothered her more than normal. “The two of
you are going to clean up this place. Then you’re going to make dinner for yourselves. Most importantly, you
are going to behave like the mature people you think you are, and you’re not going to bother me unless I
bother you first. And I won’t!”
Cady scoffed. “Or else what?” she said.
“I’ll tell Mom and Mom what you’ve been doing when they’re not around,” answered Karyn.
“What? Fighting?” Cady asked.
Karyn shook her head. “Oh, no. The other thing,” she said.
Cady’s expression changed from confidence to concern. “You wouldn’t,” she asserted.
“Oh, yes I would,” Karyn retorted.
“Cady, she knows,” Erin whined.
Cady glared at her and said, “Shut up, Erin!” as she gritted her teeth. She looked back at Karyn and said,
“Fine, we’ll fix everything and leave you alone. Happy?”
“As long as you do what you say,” Karyn replied. Cady and Erin both muttered something to themselves and went
about their ordered task. “Let’s go upstairs, Joey,” she said.
