Dairine

[Em]

Personally, since Dairine's mother...well, you know.... I have sympathized with her a lot more. Especially in *Dilemma* and *Alone* (not a spoiler everybody!) she has gotten to be more of a person to me, probably because she and Nita are relating more to eachother now. I am actually starting to like her (god forbid [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img])! She is more of a person, than just a bratty little girl, after all she has gone through...and in many ways, that's a very good thing.

I agree with Em that Dairine is becomeing more of a person sence what happened to her and Nita's mother but always in my mind she will be a annoying little sister.

*Nita*

Believe it or not, younger sisters in real life also become more like real people and less like annoying little sisters as they grow up! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

I'll believe it when I see it. At this point I don't think my little 9 year old sister Bethany will ever be a person!!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

I wouldn't know..I don't have a bratty younger sister myself. But I'm guessing, Nita, that someday your sister will be a real person to you too [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img].

Maybe but at this point next week seem's a long way off. Bethany being a person is about the same distance as a snail climbing but a rocket ship it'll take years and years!!(That's the only comparison I can think of).
Em you are lucky to be an "Only One Child"

*Nita*

[Em]

Yeah...I'm the youngest and the oldest in my family. And the middle child [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]. But it is kind of sad sometimes, like when i wan to steal someone's clothes to wear for school. I don't have a sister to do that to, see?

Oh well...that's what friends are for, right? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

...where are you getting that, Rysade? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img] Nita was the one who was scared to use the martial arts that she knew. Dairine actually used the training that she had.

And on the subject: I love Dairi and Nita equally. Dairine and her deep longing to *know* things really resonated with me, since I'm the exact same way. Nita reminds me of myself in many ways as well.

Ya your probably right I know i'd get kinda lonely not haveing anyone to fight with or yell at or slap upside the head but it would be kinda fun to get ride of Bethnay for a coupel months [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

slug hummm...

The only time I've ever slugged my sister was
during the slug bug(car game) and that had to be banned from the car me and Bethany got a little too violent.

*Nita*

[Em]

Not siblings...friends actually.When my friends are being particularly annoying, a good *slug* in the arm can do them a bit of good. No, I'm just kidding...but playfully hitting people isn't always that bad, when you are good enough friends with them.

[Em]

Yeah, I can see your point. I especially hate when people you don't know very well come up to you, slug you hard in the arm, and then act like your chum (I love that word). But when I do it with friends, I try not to do it to make them be hurt, just to give them a little waking up [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]. Anyway, I grew up with very 'huggy', 'friendly sluggy', friends (ooh...I'm a poet...). Anyway, I see your point Rysade... being raised around people like that has something to do with it.


But I've got to admit, sometimes there's nothing better than giving an annoying friend a *tiny* punch in the arm [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img].
