      Chapter 1

      An Eventful Breakfast Time

      It’s coming up to Christmas again, and there’s always a party at the castle. Of course, Bob Piercem, a 5’8" tall teenager who has just recently turned 18, with pink hair, lilac eyes, and who wore a black hoody and blue jeans, and Annie Piercem, a young teenager with green hair, and wore a yellow tee-shirt and a blue short skirt, always go to this party, even though they aren’t royal. They are friends of the King’s family, so they’re allowed to go. But this year, Bob was having a big argument with his mother during breakfast on the day of the party.

      ‘Listen, mother,’ Bob shouted, ‘I don’t want to go to this party with my sister. She wrecks everything!’

      ‘Now, now,’ his mother said, trying to be as calm as possible, ‘you will go to this party, and you will take Annie with you. If you don’t take her and look after her, then you’ll be in big trouble! Understood?’

      ‘Yes, mother. You do realise that I’m not happy about this, right?’

      ‘Just finish eating your pasta and go and have fun, dear!’

      ‘Hmmm…’ Bob wasn’t happy with this outcome, but he knew he had no choice.

      ‘Hey!’ Annie suddenly said. ‘Why do you eat pasta for breakfast big brother? I’m normal; I eat cereal, just like everyone else!’

      ‘I eat pasta for breakfast because I feel like eating pasta for breakfast, Annie! It tastes much better than cereal! I just take the smart option and eat pasta!’

      ‘But big brother, we sometimes don’t have pasta at suppertime because you’ve already eaten it all! I don’t think that’s fair!’

      ‘And I don’t think it is fair that you are going to the party, but you don’t see me complaining!’

      ‘Well, judging by the conversation that you had with mummy, I beg to differ.’

      ‘Since when did you learn these phrases?’

      ‘What? They’re not difficult phrases to learn, big brother.’

      ‘I know that! It’s just that, well, you’re young, and girl-like.’

      ‘The girl-like thing comes with being a girl, big brother! I like being a girl! Being a girl is so cool! So many advantages come with being a girl!’

      ‘Name one!’

      ‘Um…you get to look as cute as you want if you’re a girl! Why don’t you try looking cute, big brother? You can try it now.’

      ‘I think I’ll pass. Anyway, I’ve my pasta to finish!’

      ‘Or you could leave it for supper.’

      ‘I could leave you for supper! Now, watch me do this the Italian way! Here’s a real pro at work!’ Bob digs his fork into the pasta, and twirls it with great force, so making the pasta go everywhere.

      ‘Now look what you’ve done, big brother! My hair’s not green, anymore!’

      ‘Yeah, it’s more of a…whitish colour, now. I think it suits you, sis!’

      ‘Yeah? Well, I don’t think it suits me! I look like an old granny, now!’

      ‘Oh well, guess that means you won’t be going to the party, then.’

      ‘Nice try, big brother, but I’m still going with you to the party! I’ll just get this washed off! I won’t look like an old granny for long, you’ll see!’

      ‘That’s unfortunate. I honestly think you look better with white hair.’

      Annie stares at Bob for about ten seconds, and then walks off to the bathroom.

      ‘Hmmm…’ Bob thought. ‘That was a weird response. Oh well, I suppose this party could be alright. Oh well, back to what is left of my pasta!

      After Bob took in his tenth mouthful of pasta, Annie came back and shouted:

      ‘Look at me, big brother! I’m looking cuter than ever, and my hair’s so wonderful! You’ve just got to check it out!’

      Bob choked on his pasta with the shock of his sister’s loud voice. ‘Cough! Cough! Ugh! I’m choking! Cough!’

      ‘I’ll save you, big brother!’

      ‘Oh, good,’ Bob said in a sarcastic tone of voice.

      ****

      After a few minutes, Annie came back with a walking stick.

      ‘You’re not planning on doing what I think you’re planning on doing with that walking stick, are you, sis?’

      ‘You’ll see, big brother! Hi…yahhh!!! Karate chop!’

      ‘Owww!!! For the love of pasta!’

      The pasta went flying out of Bob’s mouth, but Annie still kept hitting Bob with the walking stick.

      ‘Oww!!! Annie, the pasta’s out, already! Leave me alone, please!’

      ‘Oh, sorry big brother! Will you ever forgive me?’

      ‘Oh, I don’t know. After all, it was quite painful.’

      ‘Big brother, I’m so sorry! I love you, big brother, with every green strand of my hair!’

      ‘Uh-huh? Why do I have such a weird sister?’ Bob thought. Oh well, I guess there’s always one unlucky family...’

      ‘Isn’t the party starting soon, big brother?’

      ‘Yes, it is, and I have to get ready! So, off I go to the bathroom!’

      ‘But big brother, I need to go again!’

      ‘Again? But you’ve just been! You’re ridiculous! Go outside!’

      ‘But big brother!’

      ‘Go outside and wait for me, sis! I won’t be long, and you can go at the castle!’

      ‘But I don’t have a toothbrush at the castle!’

      ‘A toothbrush? Is this what this about?’

      ‘Uh-huh!’

      ‘And you’re a young teenager? You shouldn’t care about your teeth! They’re only there so you can crunch on things!’

      ‘Okay, big brother. My teeth will just be dirty
