Harold: *thinking about Ariel's cousin as he draws his comics*

George: *sees Harold thinking and looks a little confused* What are you thinking about Harold?

Harold: Just Ariel's mean cousin Derek

AJ: *looks at him with concern* How is he mean?

Harold: Well, Ariel told me stories about when he had to babysit her. He wouldn't let her do anything besides eat, sleep, and read.....

AJ: And this happened....?

Harold: *has anger in his tone* Just recently

George: That's not right....

Harold: Exactly!

Ariana: *walks in feeling better* Hey guys! What are you talking about?

Harold: Just Ariel's mean cousin Derek

Ariana: *eyes widen* Describe him

Harold: By what Ariel told me the has black hair and brown eyes, he's unfriendly and just plain rude

Ariana: Holy crap!! That's my oldest brother!!!

George, AJ, and Harold: WHAT?!

Ariana: Yeah! He's my brother! And I hate him.... *looks down and starts tearing up*

AJ: *hugs Ariana* Don't worry Ariana. You don't have to tell us if you don't want to

Ariana: No I'll do it. *takes a deep breath and sighs* My dad would always be gone at work and gone during the night so he needed someone to watch me and Randy. Derek said he'd do it and I hadn't known yet. After I found out I was  scared. Randy hadn't liked him either and said he'd watch me, but dad wouldn't let him. Derek had abused me when Randy wasn't around and I'd always be crying and bleeding slightly

Harold: *starts to get worried and has a little thought about Ariel*

George: *eyes widen*

AJ: *gasps* Is there more?

Ariana: *nods* Dad wouldn't believe Randy or me when we tried to tell him that Derek abused me. Randy had enough and took me to his friends house and his mom watched the two of us. Randy's friend Samantha had bandaged me up and helped me with my wounds. Randy had videotaped Derek hurting me and showed it to my dad. After that my dad snapped and kicked Derek out of the house

Harold: *starts to get worried and runs to Ariel's house*

George: Harold wait!! *runs after him*

Ariana and AJ: *runs after the two*

~At Ariel's house~

Ariel: *looking at the bruises on her arms, but hears someone run up the staris and covers her arms*

Harold: *runs in and turns Ariel to face him* Oh thank god you're okay *hugs her*

Ariel: *looks from left to right*

Harold: *sees Ariel covering her arms*

AJ, George, and Ariana: *run in and close the door*

Harold: Ariel, let me see you're arms

Ariel: *shakes her head*

Harold: Ariel. Let me see your arms!

Ariel: No!

Harold: *takes her arms and sees the bruises on her arms*

Ariel: *looks nervous*

Harold: *looks at her face* Why didn't youtell me about this?!

Ariel: *stays silent and nervous*

Harold: Ariel...

Ariel: Because I didn't want you to get mad or worried! I don't want you to kill anyone Harold! Besides I'm a tough girl!

Harold: *sighs and whispers in her ear* Look Ari, you mean so much to me. I don't care if Krupps your dad like other people do. I love you for who you are inside and outside *hugs her tighter*

Ariel: *whines in pain* Ow!

Harold: *lets go* Sorry

Ariel: It's okay. You're fine

AJ and Ariana: *fangirling in their head*

George: *has an idea*

Harold: We're gonna find Derek

Ariel: Harold please no!

Harold: You can't talk to me out of this one Ari

Ariel: *sighs*

~At Derek's place~

George: *puts hypno ring on his finger*

AJ: Wait... what are we gonna do?

George: Hypnotize him....

Ariana: To what? A good person?

George: Yep

Harold: What if it goes horribly wrong?

George: I don't have any idea

Ariel: *speaks in fear* Are you sure we'll be okay?

Ariana: We'll be fine Ariel *smiles*

Ariel: *smiles*

Harold and George: You girls stay here and watch from the window, we'll go and hypnotize him *run in*

Ariana and AJ: *watch and see the boys screaming a few seconds later*

Harold and George: *screaming and grab he girls and run*

Ariel: What happened?!

Derek: *laughing evily*

Harold: I think we made him worse by accident!
