Relieved that it was now over with, I shook my head and smacked my lips, making a kissing sound.

Little Daisy jumped up on the top of the seat and then hopped onto my lap.

Liberty peered at me in the rear view mirror. “What the fuck’s with the kissy noises, brother?”

“Calling my lil Daze, of course,” I told him.

Liberty shook his head. “Ever since you met that dog, you have been weird.”

“So?” I retorted. “You’ve been weird for my entire life and I don't complain about it, do I?”

Briget and Belle laughed.

“Oh, and Glory…?” I drawled. “You do know this also means theNo Prankclause is null and void as well, right?”

Briget stared at me with rounded eyes and asked, “Really?”

I nodded as I petted Daisy.

“Is that true, Justice?” Glory asked in a quiet voice.

No answer came.

“Justice?” she called out.

“Yes,” he finally replied. “The entire agreement is deleted now.”

“Mutual Rescission,” Belle stated the legal term for it as she nodded and recited it, “The Mutual Rescission and Release Agreement serves to render the original contract null and void and places the parties back to their original positions before they entered into that first agreement.

Liberty sighed in a dreamy tone “You are so smart, babe. I love it when you do legal speak. It is sexy as all hell.”

“Ew, Lib! Cut that disgusting crap out!” Glory whined over the speaker.

We all laughed again.

“So you didn’t read the fine print either, sis?” I teased her.

“Oh, you two still think you're so smart,” Glory retorted. “But little do you know, I have an old VHS tape. It’s an oldie but goodie. I call itLittle Balls.”

Liberty and I both sucked in a deep breath.

“They are not little!” Liberty exclaimed as he looked thoroughly insulted.

More laughter rippled through the speaker.

Justice got in on the ball jokes. “Were they tiny and shiny?” he asked.

The Walker Twins were not too shy to counter as well.

“You should know, Justice boy,” Liberty said. “We used to call you dingles, remember?”

“Nah, I don’t remember that,” Fate said. “I remember calling him baby marbles when we were like fifteen though.”

“Look guys,” Glory chimed in. “I gave it that title, but as your sister, I don't want to discuss your balls with any of you.”
