"No I didn't!" her brother yelled out
"Daniel, Alexia! Calm down!" her mom yelled from living room
They stopped at the bottom end of stairs.
"You did" Alex whispered
"I didn't" Danny said
"Apologize and don't fight again or else there is no sweets for a week" mom sounded mad
"Okay, I am sorry" Danny looked down
"I forgive you" Alex said wiping away her teary eyes
Alex and Danny went up to their room to play again. Although they fought a lot they loved each other very much. They usually made up fast and they were best friends. They would always play together because there wasn't many kids in their city block.
