Olivia sat on the pouch. It was late in the day, with the sun rolling high. Adam was reading a book when she saw Odie stalking a grass hopper.

"Hey Adam." She hit the back of his hand still looking at her. "Look. Odie put a paw to it, and the grass hopper jumped onto Olivia.

"Ahh!" She screamed like a little girl, Adam laughing he entire time. When it got off her, it landed in front of Odie.

It stood still, only moving every two minutes. Odie almost fell asleep because she got board. But then a smirk crossed Olivia's face. The hopper was sneaking TWORDS Odie.

It leaped onto her face.

"Ha ha. Oh, Odie." Adam smiled. She ran away, leaving the grass hopper in victory.

It only seemed to follow Odie where ever she went, though.

"It's gonna get itself killed someday..." She trailed off and turned her head. Adam was talking to someone on the phone.

Olivia's nose began to itch, so she positioned her lips to blow upwards. It lifted her bang up.

When Olivia was 12, she had had the bang. She had grown it out over the year, but got the hair cut again ever since Niagara. It covered her blind eye. She loved blowing it when she was about to do something important. It would blow her stress away.

But nothing could have ridden of her fears when Olivia saw tears welling in her brother's eyes.
