"Mom, tell Drake that he has to take me to the mall." Meagan whined.

"Meagan, I told you that you could ask Drake. I didn't say that I would make him do it." Audrey replied from the other room.

"Meagan, I can't right now." Drake began to explain. "I'm working on this stupid English paper and if I don't have it ready by tomorrow, I'll get another "F" and probably flunk out of the class."

Meagan stared at him blankly. "So, what's new?"

"Meagan, I'm not taking you to the mall and that's final. Why don't you ask Josh?"

Meagan rolled her eyes and looked at her watch. "I would if he were here. He's the nice brother. He would take me to the mall in a heartbeat."

Drake shrugged his shoulders and smirked at her. "Oh well, mean brother Drake can't take you right now, I'm too busy. Now get out of here so I can finish this."

Meagan crossed her arms in a huff and stormed out of the boys' room. She paused just outside the hallway and faced her older brother. "Just remember, one day you'll need me to do something for you and I can assure that I will most definitely be too busy."

Drake closed the door in Meagan's face. "That'll teach me, Meagan." He sat back down at the computer and instead of working on his English paper, he switched to his newest computer game; "Monsters from Beyond".

Audrey was just saving her latest project on her PC when Meagan appeared in the doorway. "Mom, can you take me to the mall now, . . . pleas-s-s-e!" She begged.

Audrey smiled at her. "Honey, I wish I could, but I have to get dinner started. Your dad will be home any minute and I haven't even put the vegetables on."

"So . . . ?"

"Meagan, honey, you are not the only one in this house that has things to do. Amazingly enough, Drake is actually working on his homework; Josh is at 'The Premier'; I have to get dinner ready and your dad isn't home yet. I'm sorry honey, but the mall is out right now."

"What am I supposed to tell Debbie?" Meagan asked.

"That you don't have a way to get there right now and you can make it another time." Audrey answered, handing Meagan the phone.

Meagan sat down on the couch and dialed Debbie's phone number. "Debbie, its Meagan. I can't meet you today. I don't have a way to the mall."

"Sorry Meagan. I would offer to have my mom pick you up, but she has some errands to run and is pretty busy." Debbie replied.

Meagan rolled her eyes. "Same story here. Everybody is too busy for me too."

"I thought Drake was going to bring you."

A twinkle appeared in Meagan's eyes. "Maybe I can still get him to. Debbie, don't count me out yet. I have an idea."

She hung up with Debbie and ran to her room. Glancing at her watch, she knew that she had almost an hour to get Drake to see things her way. Quickly she pulled a few necessities from her closet and drawers.

"Drake, telephone!" Meagan yelled from downstairs.

"Just a minute." Drake replied, saving his English paper quickly before closing out his computer. "I'm coming!" He called, running out of his room and down the stairs.

Meagan quickly ran inside her brothers' room. She booby trapped Drake's computer chair with an electrical device that was sure to give him a little jolt when he sat down and then ran out of the room.

Drake was slightly perturbed after running downstairs just to find no one on the phone. He shook it off and took a seat at his computer, crying out in pain as a jolt of electricity scorched his backside. "Meagan!" He cried out.

"Did you call?" Meagan asked, innocently as she appeared in the doorway.

"Get your stuff out of here and don't do that again or I'm telling mom and dad." Drake said, rubbing his backside.

"Take me to the mall, or suffer the consequences." Meagan offered.

"You've got to be kidding." Drake replied, laughing.

Meagan shrugged as she picked up her stuff. "Oh well, we'll see who laughs last."

Drake started to follow her out of the room, just as Josh was entering. "What's going on? What were you yelling about?" He asked.

"Meagan shocked me . . . again." Drake replied.

Josh grinned. "At least it wasn't me this time."

"Josh, can you take me to the mall?" Meagan asked.

"If you'll stop being mean to Drake." Josh replied, holding out his hand for Meagan to shake.

"Deal." Meagan said, taking Josh's hand. As soon as her back was to him, a menacing grin came across her face.
