"Oh dear, what happened?" Diana asked.
"Oh well, y'know, I just thought I would cut myself." She replied sarcastically.
Diana gave her a look before answering.
"C'mon, we'll get it cleaned up. A nasty cut by the looks too."
At that moment, Avie practically sprinted into the room.
"Jess!"
"Yeah Avie?"
"When are we - ouch!"
"Yeah, I know. When are we what?"
"When are we gonna hassle the guys about telling us how they did their magic tricks?"
"Now you two." Diana interjected. "I don't want you giving them a hard time."
"But we wanna know!" Avie said.
"Don't worry Mom." Jess put in. "C'mon Avie, let's go now."
Diana smiled after them.

Isaac looked over at his sisters, then at his brothers.
"How did we do the tricks? With magic of course." He replied with a grin.
Jess gave him a look.
"Jess, Avie, you're just gonna have to deal with the fact that we're not gonna tell ya." Zac said gleefully.
"We're not leaving until you tell us." Avie informed them.
*Twenty bucks says they leave in the next five minutes.* Taylor said to Isaac.
*You're on.*
Both checked their watches, and there was quiet for a moment.
"C'mon ya have to tell us!" Jess said.
"Please?" Avie begged. "Pretty, pretty, pretty please?
"No." Taylor grinned. "But thank you for asking so nicely. Good manners are so hard to find these days."
"Oh c'mon! We won't tell anyone else!"
"Nope." Isaac smiled.
"Bye, bye." Zac added. "Before I tell Mom."
The two girls left in a huff.
*I believe you owe me twenty bucks Ike.* Taylor smirked.
*Hmph, it only just made it.*
*Sore loser.*
*Sore winner.*
*Cheapskate.*
And so on…
