Tawni laughed and looked over at Elliot. "What's that, huh? Why so stupid, dear Elliot?"

Elliot was already ordering the food, so he didn't answer. Nettie shrugged. "He won't even tell me..."she sighed a bit, biting into her lips.

She pursed her lips and looked over at him, then smiled widely and ran up to him, snatching the phone away from him and hiding it behind her back. "What's the matter?" she asked.

He blinked. "Oh God. I'm never gonna forget the day I had a telephone in my hand,"he mumbled sarcastically. "Any reason I shall tell you?"he asked. Nettie was entertained with eating potato chips, so she pretty much ignored them.

"Because I shall want to know!" Tawni responded, reaching up to flick his nose. "It's gonna eat away at your poor heart and drive you to madness if you don't fess up and then you're gonna get all suicidal on me!" she said dramatically, not sure if she was talking about Elliot anymore.

Elliot sighed. He turned to his sister. "Nett, go upstairs."
"Why?"
"Because I freaking said so! Go upstairs!"
The blonde fled to her room and Elliot sighed a little. "What do you want to know?"

"Well I mean..." Tawni sat down on the couch, reaching down to pull her puppy into her lap. "You yelled at Nettie and then called yourself stupid. I...just wanna know if you're ok."

He sighed. "It's the stress. I have too much on my mind,"he said and went to sit down on the couch.

She nodded, like she expected this. "Do you...wanna talk about it? It works for me sometimes and I promise I won't ask any stupid questions that would make you wanna smack me." She laughed at that.

Elliot half-smiled. "Well... um, I'm worried about Nettie... to begin with. She... I... I'm her only legal guardian, and if I don't take good care of her they're just... gonna take her away..."he sighed. "And I don't want that..."

Tawni raised her eyebrows, then blinked and looked down at her dog for a while, slowly scratching behind its' ears while she thought. "Uhm..." she mumbled after a while. "Hey, if it's any consolation, I think you're doing an awesome job with her." She flashed him a comforting smile and nudged him lightly. "It'd be obvious to anyone that you care about her, y'know? So don't worry about that!!!!!" She laughed.

He smiled. "Thank you, but Nett's just a part of my stress. The other part is stemmed from school... and my girlfriend... and... life in general."

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight", she drug out, swinging her legs back and forth while she thought. Suddenly, her face brightened and she turned to smile widely at him. "Wait right here, ok?" Tawni hopped up and disappeard out the door.

"Huh? Wait, where are you go--okay." He sighed and picked up the phone to resume his ordering the food, which Tawni had interrupted.

Tawni came back a little while later covered in snow, her arms filled with snowballs, which she chucked at the back of Elliot's head.

Elliot froze as the snowballs hit his head. He turned to glare at Tawni, and then frowned. "Where on Earth did you get those snowballs?"he asked.

Tawni shrugged, flashing him an innocent smile. "I dunno. I have my secrets, y'know. Or it could be the fact that it's snowing. See?!" Laughing, she pointed to the window and chucked another snowball at him.

"It's snowing? Since when..."he looked out the window, and sure enough. Snow. "The weather is so weird..."he got hit by the snowball and flinched.

She stared at him for a while and pouted, biting her lip. "Heeeeeey", Tawni whined. "Ya gotta retaliate or this isn't gonna work!" Smirking, she ran outside, shivering since the snow reached up to her knees but she didn't seem to care because she kept attacking Elliot with snow.

He narrowed his eyes and chased after her. He grabbed a handful of snow and shoved it at her back. "Happy?"

"Thrilled!" she shouted loudly, shivering from the cold, before hurling another one at his face and tripping over herself so she fell in the snow on her back. Tawni shrieked and started laughing.

Elliot grinned and wiped the snow off his face. He grabbed a handful of snow and climbed up into a tree, planning to drop the snowball on her face, but he couldn't. His breath was cut short, and he fell onto the snow.

Tawni's smile stayed on her face. She couldn't register what had just happened and so for a minute, she stood there smiling at Elliot's body. Then as soon as she could comprehend what happened, she rushed over to him, getting there in zero time. "Hey! Hey El, are you ok?!" she cried, turning his body over so he was facing upright and holding his head in her lap.

At that moment Nettie walked up to them with a large grin. "Hey, what are you do--"she halted seeing the state her brother was in and hurried over faster. "What happened!? Elliot...?"she poked him on the ribs, and he groaned. "Leave my ribs alone,"he muttered, and passed out.

Tawni started freaking out. She buried her hands in her hair, staring at Elliot in shock. "Net, what do we do?! What's wrong with him?!?!?! He fell out of that tree and I...I...It wasn't my fault or anything...I didn't do it!", she pretty much shouted.

Nettie bit into her lips hard. "It's okay, I believe you! I... we.... just.... DAMN! Let's just call someone!"

"Situation! Situation!" Tawni shrieked into her cell when she speed-dialed 911. Recognizing who was screaming, they told Tawni to give them her location and an ambulance came to a stop in front of the house.
"What happened?" one of the paramedics asked Nettie and Tawni as he helped the others haul Elliot onto a stretcher.
"He dropped out of a tree!" Tawni screamed quickly.

In the meantime, Nettie was staring at the ground blankly, mumbling random stuff. The only coherent sentence that she could get out of her mouth was:
"What... what do we do now...?"

"You two, get in the back!" the guy paramedic said gruffly. "Call his parents, tell him to get down to the hospital."
Tawni sat on the bench-like thing in the back of the car and just sat there staring at her hands, which she was picking at out of habit until she started drawing blood but she seemed not to notice, even as it dripped down her fingers and onto the floor.

In the meantime; Nettie dropped a call to Will and Lily's mother. When she was done, she sighed a bit. "Okay... they're dropping by in a few-"she looked at Tawni with concern drawn in her eyes. "You okay? Heeeeelloooooo?"she poked her.
