"Guess he couldn't until now," Will replied.
They hadn't actually talked all that much. The fact that they were brother and sister still hadn't registrered; not reality.
They were total strangers to each other only tied by blood.
So far.
"So anyway, tell me more about this Twitch person," she threw back at Tamika.

Tamika frowned for a moment, but didn't press Will further. She looked back down at her phone, bringing a picture up on the screen. She handed the phone to Will, "That's him, and that's the tattoo on his neck. He lives in Payerne and works as a bike mechanic. He rides FMX, but not professionally. And he's like, immensely awesome, and oh, you'll have to meet him!" Tamika rambled, grinning like an idiot.

Will smiled; amused.
She had never seen Tamika soo happy in her life!
"He sounds immense. He's good for you by the sounds of it," Will smiled warmly and embraced her friend in a tight hug.

"He really is, I think it might be proper love Will..." Tamika blushed. "I, um, do have a bad point about summer I guess I should let you know now..."
Tamika stopped for what seemed like a few seconds but was actually a couple of minutes as her eyes started to water up and her breath began to shake.
"Owlie's dead, Will..." She whispered, tears beginning to slip over.

Will started to laugh.
Tamika was joking. This was another one of her bad jokes.
She kept laughing.
"That's a good one Tammy, very funny, now pull the other one," she stuttered over her laughs.

Tamika looked at Will with horror. How could her best friend react this way, laughing, thinking she would make something as horrible as this up.
"Maybe you'll believe me when you don't see him around anymore, but until then, well. I don't think I'll be able to look at you without wanting to hurt you for thinking I would joke."
Tamika turned her back on her friend, her tears coming heavier, and began to walk down a path.

Will stopped dead.
"Owlie-" is dead.
Oh dear lord no.
No.
NO, no, no, no. He can't be. He couldn't be. He was not allowed to be....
Will watched as Tamika walked down the path quicker than ever. Tamika was in pain. And Will. Will had done the most thoughtless thing ever right in front of her greiving best friend. She had laughed. Without thinking.
She stood frozen to the spot. How could she face Tamika after..
"No," she said outloud to herself, "No, you're not gonna.."
She ran as fast as she could and caught Tamika's arm.
And she saw her face.
"Oh, Tammy, I'm so so sorry," and she pulled her best friend closer to her than ever before,into a tight hug.

Tamika didn't even attempt to reply, she just buried her head in the nook of Will's neck, crying harder for her pets loss than she had done all summer.
"He was just, happily talking away and then he went quiet Will, and he was gone..." She mumbled after a few minutes, talking into Will's collar bone. She pulled back and noticed the black and neon green mess on Will's shirt. "Sorry about that..." She sniffed, pulling a handkerchief out of her pocket to wipe her nose.

"Ah, don't be, it'll wash out," Will smiled kindly.
What a horrible way too die and to be found dead.
What would Will do if that had happened to Terrico or Coashea?
She couldn't bare to think about it.
"Tammy..." and she pulled her back into a hug.

Tamika pulled back from the hug, shaking her head.
"Thank you Will, but this is just a slip-up. There's no point in grieving and being upset. That's the attitude I've had all summer. I guess, because you actually knew him it just upset me telling you. He's probably in a much happier place now anyway."
Tamika gave a feeble smile and pulled out a clean tissue from her pocket and a small mirror, wiping the smeared make up from her cheeks.

"Hey, no need to hide your feelings, I'm here for you girl, you know that," she smiled.
Just then Terrico appeared.
Where's the feathery little critter? Is he hiding?[/color]
If you call lying six feet under the earth noe moving or breathing; hiding, then yeah he is. Will answered him sharply.
Terrico stared at her for what seemed like five minutes.
He's..dead?[/color]
Will nodded and Terrico lay down put his head on the ground with his paws covering his face.
"Sorry boy," she bent down and stroked him before picking him up and holding him.
He buried his head into the crook of her elbow and lay there still.
Will fowned.

Tamika furrowed her eyebrows and cocked her head to the side.
"Well, I have to say, I didn't actually realise they were that close..."
She stretched her hand out to pet Terrico's head.
"As soon as I can find him, I'll let you know so I can pass on a message for you."

Although Tamika would never be abe to see it, Terrico tilted his head forward in the slightest nods.
Tell her I appreciate it. She's a nice kid, good heart, certainly a good friend for you.[/color] Terrico sighed in his head mournfully.
"Thanks Tamika, he appreciates it...and so do I," she smile slightly.

Tamika sighed and growned inwardly. She knew that she wouldn't be able to tell him she found him any time soon, possibly ever. He hadn't been at the school as of yet, and it upset her that he was nowhere to be found. To save more possible tears, she gave a smile, "I'm sure he'll turn up soon anyways. Never know, get him materialised, you two can still natter like old women."

Terrico raised his head and his eyes shone with resentment and humour at the same time.
Will couldn't do anything but laugh at his expression.
He gave her an exasperated look.
"Look, Tamika's right, when she finds him you two can yack all you want." she rolled her eyes at the memory of them talking, "I love you Terrico, you know that. Don't you?"
Instead of answering her through his thoughts, he decided to take a course of action which caught Will of guard; he licked her face. Something he hadn never done since he had come to her.
Will stared at him with wide eyes.
Her hand slowly melted to the side of her cheek.
"Terrico..." she choked out, a lump in her throat with the emotion. She hugged him closer than ever.
