"Cammy. Wake up, sis. We're spending the day together, remember?"

        The sound of Nathan's voice is what woke Camryn on that lovely Saturday morning. Opening her eyes and sitting up, Camryn looked at her brother and smiled, "Morning, Nath."

        "Mornin' sunshine. Come on, get up and dressed. We're leaving soon," Nathan said, walking towards the door and walking out. 

        Moving off her bed, Camryn goes over to her wardrobe, looking at her choices for the day. After a couple seconds, Camryn pulls out her grey, long sleeved Deathly Hallows shirt and matches it with a pair of knee-ripped, washed skinny jeans. Once changing and brushing her hair and teeth, she slips on her black combat boots and a red beanie before walking down the stairs to meet her Nathan.

        "Ready, Nath?" Camryn asked, skipping the last step.

        "Yep. Just let me get my keys," he said before walking over to Camryn with his keys. "We're leaving!" he shouted, not waiting for an answer before walking out the front door with Camryn close behind.

        Once getting in the car and buckled up, Nathan pulled out of the driveway before starting to head towards town.

        "So... what we doing today?" Camryn questioned looking out of the window at the passing scenery.

        "Well, I thought we could go shopping, to the cinema, then to dinner, and maybe to the carnival in town?" Nathan explained.

        "Sounds great." Camryn replied, while the rest of the drive was spent in silence.

        Once arriving to town and parking, Nathan and Camryn got out of the car and started towards the shops.

        "So, how've you been?" Nathan asked his sister.

        "Great! Got staight A's last semester of school, now I'm waiting for my GCSE results," Camryn said, looking up at Nathan, "What about you?"

        "Same really. Bummed about the break, but I'm happy to be home." he replied while walking into one of the shops, "So, how you likin' Chloe?"

        "Chloe? Oh, um... great. She suits you, Nath. She's nice and very pretty," Camryn lied.

        "Okay. What's wrong?" Nathan questioned his sister.

        "Nothing," Camryn replied quickly.

        "Camryn," Nathan warned.

        "Nothing, Nathan. I don't wanna ruin our day." Camryn smiled up at him.

        "Okay. You getting anything?" he looked at Camryn while she shook her head 'no', "Let's go to the cinema then. It's almost two o'clock," and they left the shops and started towards the cinema.

        After two and a half hours, Nathan and Camryn made their way out of the cinema and towards the car, laughing and pushing each other around. Once getting into the car, they headed off to Nandos for their dinner.

        Sitting down and ordering, Nathan tried to make a conversation out of 'What do you want for your birthday?' which doesn't makes its way to the Top Ten Hot Discussions for Camryn. After a silent dinner, the siblings jumped into the car again and headed off towards the local carninal.

        Getting out of the car upon their arrival, they walk into the carnivala side-by-side. 

        "What do you wanna do first?" Nathan asked and Camryn pointed towards one of the shooting water games. Walking over, Nathan pays the booth owner and sit on a stool next to Camryn's. Once being counted down, they both start to shoot water into the clowns' mouths.

        Looking over at Camryn, Nathan laughs, "You do realise the water is supposed to go in the clown's mouth, right?"

        "Oh, shut up," Camryn mumbled, then jumped at the loud popping noise beside her. 

        "I won." Nathan stated, getting handed a yellow sun before giving it to Camryn, "You can have it, 'cause you're my little sunshine."

        "Thank you. You're so kind," Camryn said sarcastically. 

        Going on a few rides and playing a few more carnival games, Nathan decides it's time to head home. Walking through the carnival to the exit, Nathan stops short.

        "What's wrong?" Camryn asked.

        "Will you move into my flat with Chloe and I?" he blurted out, looking at Camryn as he waited for an answer.

        "Yes!" Camryn jumped on him as he chuckled.

        "Let's go home and tell mum and Chloe then," and they headed towards the car to go home.

        Arriving home and walking through the door, Nathan yells, "She said yes!"

        "That's great, babe." Chloe said walking into the foyer, smiling at Nathan then glaring at Camryn.

        'Oh shit.' Camryn thought.
