now tell me when u gonna update ...

Quick Note: Okay, so this chapter is dedicated to all of you who have supported me and my story. Whether it was essay-long comments, threatening to murder me if I didn't update, or just simply clicking the "like" button. Thank you all so much!

But a special thank you to Crazy (devilofevil_KR) and Mahabharat (-Baatcutter-). Despite being busy as hell, Mahabharat takes the time to post longass essay-like comments for this story (thus the name Mahabharat), and despite the fact that Crazy wants to kill me and can act like an impatient, immature child (which is funny cuz' I'm the younger one), she's been extremely supportive of this story, and I can't express how much I appreciate you both for all the support you've given me and this story. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

Sibling Squabbles

Saara's POV

As the Weaklings begin to leave, Sharon di grabs my arm and demands, "Where are you going?"

"Um..." I trail off, nervous as to whether or not I should tell my cousin the truth. I look at my friends' 'what are you going to do?' faces, then and look back at di.

I take a deep breath and say, "I'm going with my friends di."

"You friends?!" she practically shrieks at the top of her lungs, eyebrows skyrocketing to her hairline, as if it's the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard.

"Yes di," I state firmly, releasing my arm from her grip, "my friends."

And in 3, 2, 1...

"Have you gone mad?!"

There we go, now Siren's awake.

"Saara, how could you be friends with these people?!" She looks shell shocked.

"These people are my friends di!"

From behind me, I can hear Taani whisper, "Take cover, the volcano's about to erupt."

"Sharon better choose her words carefully," says Kriya.

"Friends who will one day abandon you and leave when you've served your purpose! I'm just trying to protect -"

"You don't need to protect me from my friends di! You don't know anything about them, or about our friendship, so that gives you no right to tell me that they're bad news. You have no idea what we've been through together. They were there for me when I cried about dad, they were there for me I got my heart broken. They scold me, they yell at me, they stop me from doing stupid things, and I trust them with my life! I love and respect you di, I really do. But I'm not going to let you tell me who I can and can't be friends with."

I walk out with my friends, linking my arms with theirs, leaving my cousin confused and angry.

Narrator's POV

"Okay, everybody, leave!" shouts Simmi, but when she sees Nil and Vicky leaving, she groans exasperatedly, "Not you guys!"

After everybody leaves, Sharon takes a deep breath, and screams at the top of her lungs, ready and willing to damage her vocal cords. "How could Saara be so stupid?! Friends? Best-friends?! My foot! Doesn't she know that in the end she's just going to end up getting hurt?" She sits down on a chair, while Simmi and Rey sit on either side of her, with Vicky and Nil sitting behind them.

"Sharon, we know you're just trying to look out for Saara, but she's a smart and sensible girl. Not to mention, an extremely good judge of character," says Simmi, trying to make her stubborn best-friend understand the situation.

"I know Simmi but -" begins Sharon, but gets cut off by Simmi who asks, "You just don't want it to be them, right?"

Sharon nods her head, prompting Vicky to ask, "What's so special about them?"

"Remember the two girls from yesterday?" asks Simmi.

"Yeah... oh! It's them isn't it?" says Nil.

"Taani and Kriya," says Sharon. "Although, I still don't know which witch is which."

Finally, Rey speaks up and says, "Taani was the one lecturing you, and Kriya was the one dancing."

They all stare at him weirdly, causing Rey to explain, "I met them yesterday. I knew Taani's name, so I kind of figured that the other girl is Kriya."

"But how do you know Taani's name?" asks Nil.

"Well, you see... because of that prank you and Vicky pulled yesterday, she ended up going into the boy's locker room, then we argued, then I helped her switch the signs back, and then she gave me the chocolate bar that I gave to Sharon. Yeah, I think that's it."

"You were the one who changed the signs back?" demands Nil, while Vicky exclaims, "Dude, why?" Sharon and Simmi hit them on the head.

"But Sharon, trust me, Taani's not that bad," says Rey. "Kriya on the other hand... well, she's something!"

"Something?" Vicky asks, curious as he raises his eyebrows, while Rey glares at him.

Just then, Sharon's phone buzzes, and she sees that it's RDX telling her to make an announcement for the fresher's party. "Gotta' go guys. Bye!" says Sharon, running off to the main office.

Outside the auditorium, Saara hears someone shouting her name, causing her to turn around and find her cousin and Nisha running towards her. When they reach them, Vrushika asks, worried due to what she had just witnessed, "Are you okay?"

Saara smiles at Vrushika, placing her hand on her cousin's shoulder and squeezing it - her way of assuring her that she was absolutely fine.

"You know, what you said to Sharon di could actually turn out to be a good thing," Nisha points out.

"How?" asks Aashi.

"Because it could kind of clear up the confusion in her mind," explains Nisha.

"Confusion?" questions Kriya.

"Yeah," says Neha, "Remember what I told you yesterday?"

"Oh right!" says Kriya, now remembering.

"Anyone want to tell me?" asks Taani.

"Let's just say that Sharon has been through quite a lot, and right now, she's really confused about what's wrong and what's right," explains Swayam.

Suddenly, everyone covers their ears due to the squeak coming from the PA system.

"My ears!" Arjun yells dramatically as Nisha slaps him on the head.

"Good morning St.Louis!" Sharon's voice rings out through the PA system, happy and cheerful, not a speck of her divatude evident. "It's me, Sharon, your beloved Cultural Secretary, here to tell you guys about tonight's fresher's party! Anyone who's not a fresher, but still wants to help out at the party, can come to the auditorium at after school at four. Freshers, remember to look your best, and be ready to have some fun! And remember, the party starts at seven in the evening, and yes, couple entry is required."

Once Sharon's done, Taani asks, "So... Sharon's the cultural secretary?"

"Yeah... and she's damn good at what she does," says a starry-eyed Swayam. Taani and Kriya look at their brother weirdly, deciding to ask him about this later.

"Kriya, were you serious about creating a dance team for Footloose?" asks Bharat.

"Yeah. If you guys don't want to join the team then I can always find other dancers," Kriya assures them.

"No, we want to join!" Aashi is quick to say. "I miss dancing."

"Well, you guys still need two more members," says Taani, "and they have to be guys as you guys already have one boy and three girls."

"Where does it say that?" asks Kriya.

"In the rules. I'm looking at them on my phone." Taani continues to read the rules off her phone. "Okay, so auditions involve dance teams from colleges within the four corners of India; So that's east, west, north and south. From each of these zones, there will be five teams competing in the first round, and from each of these five teams, three teams will be eliminated. So, in total, we're going to have eight teams in the finals."

"What else is there?" asks Saara. Taani reads out more of the rules as the others listen carefully.

Soon, it was time to go home.

...

"Hey bhai?" asks Taani in her oh so innocent voice once they arrive home.

"Yeah Princess?" asks the innocent, oblivious Swayam.

"What's going on with you and Sharon?"

"Whaaat?" asks Swayam, sweat starting to trickle down his face.

"Oh please! Everybody saw the way you were looking at her you Roadside Romeo," says Kriya, rolling her eyes.

"Come on bhai! Please tell us" says Taani, pouting.

Swayam gives in immediately and says, "Okay fine! Let's go to my room."

Kriya just stares at her sister and says, once Swayam is out of earshot of course, "Taani Shekawat, you are a conniving little emotional blackmailer, and I love you!" as she hugs her sister.

After making a dangerous trip through the Forest of Decay, Taani and Kriya sit down on Swayam's bed, which was like a light at the end of dark tunnel... so basically the only non-lethal part of his room.

"So Mr. Majnu," begins Kriya, getting comfortable on her brother's bed, "tell us about your Laila."

Swayam sighs, realizing that there's no way out of this.

Sisters. Can't live with them, can't keep secrets from them.

"Well, I've been in love with Sharon since ninth standard. Ever since that first day she smiled at me, I started feeling something for her.Her smile, her love for her friends, her dance... but there's also another side to Sharon that not a lot of people get to see. Her vulnerable side. I just want to protect her, and always make her smile."

Kriya looks at her bhai and says, "I get it bhai. She was once a really sweet girl. But after all this, how can you still be in love with her?"

"Yeah bhai," says Taani, nodding in agreement. "She might've been all those things once upon a time, but not anymore. Do you not see how she's been treating everybody?"

"I don't care! That old Sharon is inside her, I know it! Now Kriya, what did you want to ask me before?"

"Oh, just if you'd join team Weaklings. I mean, you're such a great dancer bhai, and this way, it'll be less work for us," says Kriya, her face lighting up with one of her rare hopeful looks.

"Kriya, did you not just hear what I said? I love Sharon! I can't go against her."

"But bhai -" Kriya starts to protest, shocked at what her bhai just said, but Swayam cuts her off by saying, "No buts Kriya. I'm not joining the team." Kriya wipes away the tear starting to fall from her eyes, and runs to her room, as a furious Taani face her brother.

The Jhansi ki Rani has been awoken.

"What the hell bhai?! How could flat out refuse her like this? Did you see the look on her face? Has your little sister ever looked so hopeful of something to you? This is one of the rare times when she'll reach out to you and ask for help, knowing that you'll help her. But you? You decide to abandon you sister in her time of need because of Sharon? The girl who won't give you the time of day and treats other people like crap? I have never been so disappointed of you in my entire life!"

Taani storms out of Swayam's room angrily, making her way to Kriya's.

Kriya's POV

I can't believe that bhai would do something like this to me. We've always supported each other in everything we've done. We were there for each other when our dad left, and we took care of each other while mom tried to get herself together. He'd be there to tell off all the mean girls who tried to put me down, while I was there to beat up all the macho oxen he had to deal with. We'd always go to each other for help, and we've been pillars in each other's lives - always ready when the other needs a shoulder to lean on.

But now, because of his love for Sharon, he's not going to be there for me when I need him the most? Does my brother really love her that much that he would go against me? His own flesh and blood? Is love really more important than family?

Narrator's POV

Taani comes in and sits beside her cousin on the floor, at the foot of her bed, breaking her out of her thoughts. Kriya quickly begins to wipe away her tears.

"Di, stop. I know you like to show that you're strong, and I know that you're strong, but crying is healthy. It doesn't make you weak." This causes Kriya to break down, to let it all out, to cry even harder as she holds on to her sister for dear life.

Taani strokes her cousin's hair as she softly says, "Hush, it's okay. Bhai's just being an idiot right now, but he'll come around eventually." Kriya starts laughing at this, breaking away from the hug.

"Hey, you know what we should do?" Taani says suddenly.

"What?"

"We should go rollerblading! You've been begging me to teach you how to roller-blade for years. Come on, let's go!"

"I don't know Princess, the party's in two hours," protests Kriya, who was actually nervous about rollerblading. Sure she'd been excited all these years, but now a fear had overtaken her.

"So? We'll be there for half an hour max! And it doesn't take either of us more than fifteen minutes to get ready. Now come on, let's go change!"

"Change?"

"Trust me when I say this: shorts are going to be much more comfortable than jeans." Kriya sighs, and smiles at her little sister's excitement. How could she say no to Taani when she's only doing this to cheer her up? Plus, she's excited, and crushing her spirits would make Kriya feel like running over a newborn puppy. With a tractor.

Ten minutes later, Kriya is still waiting for Taani to finish getting ready. "Princess, are you ready yet?"

"Coming!" yells Taani, running into the living room. "I'm here, let's go!"

"Wait, is that bhai's shirt?"

"Yeah. I gave it him for his birthday, knowing he wouldn't wear it, so I could wear it later."

"You're evil."

"Hey, unlike you, I try to hide my evil scheme."

"Hey, I hide my evil schemes."

"You gave bhai an 'I love Harry Styles' sweatshirt for his birthday."

Kriya pretends to look at her watch and says, "Well would you look at the time? We're getting late." As Kriya drags Taani out the door, Taani protests, "You're not even wearing a watch!"

Once they're at the roller-blading rink, Taani says, "Okay, let me go rent us some roller-blades and gear." As Kriya gets out some money, Taani stops her saying, "This is my treat remember? I'm paying."

"But Taani, your new guitar -" Kriya begins to protest, but Taani cuts her off, "Di, it's no big deal!"

After the girls put on their blades and gear, they start to get up. Taani gets up with no problem, but Kriya falls down right away.

Na... nan nan na na na
Nan nan na na na
Nan nan na naaa...
Naa... nan nan na na na
Nan nan na na na
Nan nan na naaa...

Taani tries to help her sister get up, but ends up falling in the process.

The two sisters look at each other and burst out laughing.

Yaaro jee bhar ke jee le pal
Lagta hai aaj kal
Daur apna aayega

Yaaro jo khud pe ho yakeen
Toh zindagi haseen
Tujhe kal bulayega

Taani gets up, and helps Kriya get up again, but makes sure that they don't fall again.

"Relax di" she says, trying to calm her sister's nerves, and slowly helps her skate forward, while she goes backwards.

Yaaro jee bhar ke jee le pal
Lagta hai aaj kal
Daur apna aayega

Yaaro jo khud pe ho yakeen
Toh zindagi haseen
Tujhe kal bulayega

Kriya frowns, as she's still wobbly. Noticing her sisters worry, Taani says "Think of this as learning a new dance style. Relax and follow the teacher. Me!"

(Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa jeene mein
(Hai junoon sa jeene mein)
Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa seene mein ) - 2

As her sister starts to get the hang of things, Taani starts to go faster, and faster, and faster.

She lets go of one of her sister's hands, then slowly lets go of the other. She smiles as her sister speeds away, not even noticing that Taani has let go of her.

She skates after her sister, and they see who can skate faster.

Nan na na na
Nan nan na na na
Nan nan na naaa...

Kriya, frustrated that Taani's going faster than her, skates behind her, and jumps on her. This results to both girls falling on the ground.

*Music*

Taani grabs her water bottle, and sprays some water on Kriya. A shocked Kriya grabs the bottle, and starts hitting her cousin with it.

Kahin jaise koi dhun baje
Raahon mein dekho hai manzil saje saare

The girls start unlacing their roller blades.

Hum hi hum jahan mein har jagah
Sapne Sajane ki humko mili vajeh

They take off their gear, and place it on the counter with their blades.

Kahin (kahin) jaise koi (koi) dhun baje (hoo..)
Raahon mein dekho hai manzil saje saare

Taani puts her arm around her sister, and they leave the rink.

Hum hi (hum hi) hum jahan mein (harrr) jagah
Sapne Sajane ki humko mili vajeh

Kriya gets on Taani's back, and Taani starts running.

Yeh agar jo sach nahi
To sach bhala hai kya
Yaaron!!!

Kriya sees a pani puri stall, and points it out to Taani, excited.

Taani runs faster.

Apne hisab se
Dil ki kitab pe
Kuch to naya likho
Yaaron !

Anjano ki fikar
Na karti yeh umar
Phir kyun bhala daroo

They reach the stall, and Kriya gets off Taani's back.

They have a pani puri eating contest to see who can eat the most pani puris the fastest.

Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa jeene mein
(Hai junoon sa jeene mein)
Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa seene mein
Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon ooonnn

Kriya starts to pay for the panipuris, but Taani glares at her. "My treat, remember?" says Taani, as she pays for the panipuri.

They walk home, but on the way Taani drags Kriya into a shop.

They try on some dresses and shoes, and try to look as crazy as possible.

Kabhi jo milenge raaste
Pal mein hi chamkegi hasi purani toh
Kaho kya kahoge phir hamey
Kaise chupaoge nami yeh palko ki

They walk out of the store and head home.

When they walk in through the door, all the lights are off.

When they turn on the lights, they the living room covered with balloons, and a big banner that says "SORRY!"

Kabhi (kabhi) jo milenge (milenge) raaste
Pal mein hi chamkegi hasi purani toh
Kaho (kaho) kya kahoge (phirrr) hamey
Kaise chupaoge nami yeh palko ki

Yeh bata hai kya hua
Hua hai kyon bataaa...

They see Swayam on the ground, holding his ears. He gets up as Taani and Kriya come near him, and hugs them. "I'm sorry" he says, "I'm going to join Team Weaklings."

Kriya screams in Swayam's ear, causing both Swayam and Taani to jump. She jumps up and down, clapping her hands, while Taani whispers in Swayam's ear "I knew you'd come around" causing him to smile.

Yaroon !!
Jee bhar ke jee le pal
Lagta hai aaj kal
Daur apna aayega

Taani goes up to Kriya, and drags her with her to get changed for the party.

Yaaro jo khud pe ho yakeen
Toh zindagi haseen
Tujhe kal bulayega

Taani throws around all her clothes, not being able to find anything, until Kriya finally finds her a dress.

(Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa jeene mein
(Hai junoon sa jeene mein)
Hai junoon ooonnn
Hai junoon sa seene mein ) - 2
Hai junoonn...

They finally come out of their room, ready for the party, and say bye to Swayam.

They head outside to wait for Arjun.

Arjun comes with his jeep, and Kriya yells at him for being late. Arjun looks at Taani, and Taani gets her sister to calm down.

They drive to the party.
