"Where could she be?" Spot said in a sing song vocie looking for June. Because it was a sunny day they decided to go up on the roof and play around.

11 year old June giggled as she hid behind some hanging laundry. She had to cover her mouth because she giggled so much.

"Well to bad, I lost my sister" He through his hands up, making June giggle more. "Guess I'll just head back to Brooklyn"

June then laughed and ran out "Wait!"

But she was confused seeing her brother wasn't there anymore. It was just her standing on the roof. She looked around worried "Spot! It was only a joke! Please don't go!-"

"FOUND YA!" He picked her up over the shoulder and span her around making her laugh.

"Who's the best brother?" June sighed but smirked knowing this was the only way down "You are!"

--

"That is not a bird!"

June and Spot looked up to the sky and stared at the clouds. They were seeing pictures of what the clouds made.

"Yes is is!" June insisted and pointed "It has a beak!"

"It's a dog" Spot rolled his eyes at her. June and Spot argued over the stupidest things....like most siblings do. 

"It's fluffy"

"It's a cloud!!"

"Only messing with ya " he ruffled her hair and sat  up a bit "Though it does look like a dog"

She huffed and rolled her eyes "No it dosnet.....I'll fight ya!"

Spot sighed knowing she would not win. With a "attack" from June, he then quickly grabbed her over the shoulder and walked around "Ok now fight me"

"Best of three?"

Spot dropped her down making her land on her backside, she looked up at him "What was that for?" She fixed her outfit a bit, to make sure there wasn't any dirt.

"Because you didn't do what I always tell you" He pointed and went to her level "Always be on alert 24/7, no matter where you are or what your doing"

"But you're just my brother.....or are you?" She smirked and pointed at him trying to make him laugh. Though it didn't work. His face stayed stern.

"June this isn't funny" he moved her hand away, so she looked at him in the eye "What happens if you're out and someone takes ya?! Or you get soaked by some bulls? What happens if it ain't me?!"

June stayed quiet for a while, she never liked making her brother angry.  She just wanted it to be over and done with. First he was scary and second she didn't like to disappoint him. This was the only time they got to see each other.

"Sorry Spot" she looked down a bit. Spot sighed. He didn't want her to feel bad about herself  "Hey, don't apologise just be careful"

"But I'm tiny"

"You're a Conlon we're short"

She laughed at that seeing it was in their family tree, her parents were shortest people out there.

"Hey I got an idea" Spot then stood up and took him pimp cane out "I don't need this, I prefer slingshot"

June stared at him in shock, this was the leaders cane! He couldn't give it to her, people would wonder where it went!

"Spot I can't take this its yours!" She stood up by the shock of it all.

"Your my sister-"

"Or am I?....ok I'll stop"

He laughed at that "Yeah, you're my sister. It's not like I'm giving it to a stranger" He threw it up and June caught it and looked at the cane.

"Thank you!" She hugged him and he hugged back smiling.

Spot would never admit this but making June happy was the best thing ever, watching her smile or laugh just made him feel proud to be her brother. 

As they let go June smirked. She then looked at the cane then her brother. She then quickly used the cane against Spot. Making him stumble and trip back.  "What was that for?"

"You must always be prepared!" She did an impression of her brother and walked around "Now I'm leader of Brooklyn Newsies and I shall now go a boss people around"

Spot laughed sitting up seeing his sister mess around.

"You make me sound like a King"
