Like A Blue Shell:>Ep24

"You did WHAT?!" Courtney was clearly upset, swerving across lanes as she rocketed down the overcrowded Mass Pike.

"It's not my fault," Colin said, "she overheard me talking about a Mario Kart tournament with Zach and she got upset that she wasn't invited."

"So, you invited your little sister to a sex party," Courtney said. She honked at someone as she cut them off. Colin was having trouble watching the road. He knew she'd been looking forward to this - it was all Courtney had talked about since the last game. As the big day got closer she seemed to obsess over it more and more.

But her utter devastation at the news seemed to be nowhere near appropriate based on what was, at best, a minor obstacle. Worst was, they'd just do a normal Mario Kart party this time around and then do sexy stuff the next time. "We already waited a whole month," Courtney said.

"Look," Colin said, "You know how Paige is. She'd just badger me and badger me until we had to take her. Or worse, make my parents force us. It's fine. It'll be fine."

"You always did have a weird relationship with her."

"It's not weird. We're just close. You weren't friends with your siblings?"

"I never invited my younger sister to a sex party. No."

Colin sighed. After that weekend it had seemed so easy - they'd all just get together and do it again. But then the complications kept piling up. They took forever to pick a date, but then Sydney couldn't make it. In response, Taylor had apparently insisted that they needed more people, so they'd invited Zach and Zoe. Colin was excited to see Zach - though maybe not in this way, exactly - but his girlfriend was a fucking pill.
