	a sister's lament

"Miss Puckett!" Sam's eyes snapped open to the sight of an angry Ms. Briggs. "You were asleep again, weren't you? I will no longer tolerate this kind of be-"

"Um, Ms. Briggs," Melanie interrupted in her most timid voice, "Samantha didn't sleep very well last night...I promise she'll never, ever fall asleep in class again!"

The older woman's lips formed a thin line. "Fine....but three strikes, you're out!"

Sam rolled her eyes, getting ready to go back too sleep again when someone elbowed her sharply in the ribs. "Ow!"

"I promised!" Melanie said helplessly.

-

"Tomorrow I anticipate reading your "When I Grow Up" stories....especially yours, Samantha."

Melanie gulped as the bell rung and the rest of the class hurried out the door. "Sam, did you finish your "When I Grow Up" story yet?"

"Er...not exactly."

"Sam!"

"Look, I'll even help you with it! Just tell me what you want to be when you grow up, give me a dream or an idea about being it and I'll write it down _and_ draw the picture!"

Sam smirked. "I think I might have an idea..."

"Hey, guys, wait up!" Carly called, running up too the twins. "Do you guys wanna sleep over again?"

"Any reason to get away from our Mom," Sam grumbled, pulling Carly with her as she speedily walked away from her twin.

"SAM!"

-

"There you are!" Melanie yelled. She had a pen behind her ear, a sheet of paper folded in half, and her box of crayons --- _doggone_ it, her sister wasn't going to fail the fourth grade! It would so ruin her rep, man.

"Come on, Carly," Sam mumbled, reaching for the brunette's arm.

"Why are you avoiding Mel?" Carly said stubbornly, holding her ground.

"Carls-"

"So, Sam, what do ya want to be when you grow up?"

"Um...an invisible ninja!" Melanie started to write it down, but she quickly stopped midway exclaiming, "An invisible ninja? You can't do that, Samantha!"

"One, it's Sam! Two, yes you can! Everybody knows that, you big _dum-dum_!"

"One, Samantha, _dum-dum _is way over-used! Two, no you can't!"

"Will you guys stop fighting!" Carly shrieked, pulling the blonds apart. It was more of a demand than a question.

"Look, this is the only thing Sam would ever work for --- there's really nothing else! If you don't want Miss Briggs to fail her, I suggest you just do it anyway!"

With a big huff Melanie stomped off in the direction of Carly's apartment.

-

"Are you awake?" Melanie whispered in the dark, touching the shoulder of what she assumed to be Sam's.

"I was sleeping but now I'm up!" She said grumpily.

"I have to ask...why invisible ninja? Why not...a doctor, or a lawyer --- you and me could be twin lawyers, and have our own law firm! Puckett & Puckett, or-"

"MELANIE! Listen to me for once, okay? I'm not some super student like you or anything! I'm just...Sam. I beat people up. I cause them emotional and physical pain. And I never once feel guilty."

"Not even a little?" Melanie whispered in awe with wide eyes.

"Nope. Ninjas get to beat people up and spy on 'em! And if I'm an invisible one, I never get caught!"

And for the first time in 10 years, Samantha Puckett got her sister to shut up.

-

**Notes**:there's no Freddie in this 'cause I'm pretty sure in canon Freddie didn't meet the girls until the end of the sixth grade, and they're in fourth. Melanie is still home because I think I remember Carly saying in iTwins, "I haven't seen you since the seventh grade!" This was done in about 20 min., tops, so I don't know if this is good or not but I just wanted to get rid of this idea.
