‘What about the time Mr Markus tried to give you detention?’ you asked, your attention still on the sky, the sounds of the funfair washing over you, the smells of the food that had been irritating all day finally seeming welcoming.

Not that you were in the funfair, you were lying on the grass a short distance away from it, Casey by your side as you looked up at the stars, trying to make patterns out of them because you couldn’t spot any of the constellations that you knew.

She chuckled. ‘Yeah, he learnt pretty quick never to do that again,’ she agreed.

‘I bet none of them thought we’d be ending up in witness protection,’ you mused.

‘I don’t think that was one of the career options they gave us, though,’ she said, but you could hear the smile behind her voice.

‘I suppose that’s true,’ you admitted, finally looking around at her.

She was looking towards you, a small smile on her face that seemed more genuine than you’d seen before. You were glad to have snuck away with her, despite the protests of the others. Not that you didn’t miss people from back home, you did, but it was good to have her by your side, knowing that a little piece of your past hadn’t been completely lost to you.

The two of you often left the house to try and find the funfair, just as a way of passing the time. Occasionally the others would join you, but somehow they knew when you just needed each other, when you needed those times to reminisce about the things neither of you would fully admit to missing.

You shot her a small smile before closing your eyes, letting the sounds of the funfair wash over you. ‘D’you remember the first time we snuck out to go to the fair?’

Casey chuckled. ‘How could I forget? My parents went crazy,’ she admitted.

‘I’ve still got the frog we won,’ you admitted, remembering the stuffed animal which you’d packed before leaving. You slowly opened your eyes, spotting the look of surprise on her face. ‘What? It was a good day and the frog was adorable.’

She smirked, shaking her head slightly. ‘You softy.’

You poked your tongue out at her, but grinned. ‘Well duh. Would you rather I left it?’

‘No,’ she admitted in a small voice, ‘not at all.’

You smiled, your eyelids feeling a little heavy as she continued with the reminiscences of that day. You made the odd sound of acknowledgement, but otherwise didn’t contribute much. You could just make out her words slurring slightly, her tone deepening.

‘So, what trouble are we getting into today?’ you asked, looping your arm through Casey’s as you caught up to her and her brother.

The duo shared a smirk at your usual greeting to them before Kenny responded, ‘I was hoping not to get detention.’

You shrugged, looping your arm through his as well. You’d grown up around this area and the new arrivals had made the place a little more interesting to say the least. You were glad to have them by your sides, helping you with a few pranks – well, Casey did, Kenny tended to worry that something was going to go wrong but came with you anyway.

‘Don’t ask about trouble unless you’ve got a plan,’ said Casey, grinning as you turned to pout at her. ‘But luckily for you I’ve still got a few prank suggestions up my sleeve for tomorrow.’

Your eyes widened expectantly. ‘You do?’ you asked, eager to hear her plan.

‘But can we get the homework out of the way first, please?’ asked Kenny, sounding almost pleading as you began the walk home. ‘I don’t want a double detention when at least one of them isn’t needed.’

You sighed, titling your head back slightly. ‘Where’s your sense of adventure, Ken?’

The siblings shared a little knowing look but in the end Kenny relented.

‘All right. But when this goes wrong –’

‘Yeah, you get to say I told you so,’ said Casey, moving to ruffle his hair as the three of you began the walk back to their house.

The afternoon passed by quickly, as it always did when the three of you were hanging out together. The homework had been taken out of your bags, glanced at and put aside in favour of the video games that Kenny hadn’t yet put away. The three of you instead sat on the sofa, taking it in turns to try and pass the level that he’d been stuck on for the past few days. There was always something calming about spending time with them, always brought a smile to your face.

‘So,’ you said as you took a piece of pizza from the middle of your little circle, ‘these plans?’

Casey chuckled as she took a bite, chewing furiously so that she could start telling you her idea. Out the corner of your eye you spotted Kenny looking a little more eager about the whole thing than he’d let on.

These were the kinds of evenings that you loved, relaxing in their house as if there was nothing to worry about. You were glad to see that the new kids who had seemed so nervous on their first day were a lot calmer now. More settled. And you were glad that you now always had each other’s backs, something which brought a smile to your face whenever you thought about it.

Something for "We're The Millers", please. I saw it in your fandom list and got super excited!!!! Imagine being Kenny and Casey's classmate in school (Something that takes place around the end of the movie when they're all in the suburbs, and reader's like their best friend). Thanks, love! Have an awesome day! - Requested by Anonymous

I’m glad you got excited about the fandom list. Aw, thank you; I hope you have an awesome day, too.
