Artificial Rapunzel
**I walk around, hearing footsteps. **
** I grab a frying pan and head to the sound, I guess I turned into Rapunzel the minute the hair was bleached blonde. **
** “Hello?” I said, doing circles around. **
**Suddenly arms wrap around me and I hit someone with the pan.**
** “Ouch!” He screamed.**
**“Bro?” I say, shocked.**
** “Hey, Rapunzel can you put the pan down?” He said, one hand up and the other on his head.**
** I put it down, “Are you okay?” I asked nervously. **
** “Yeah, maybe a minor concussion..”**
**I looked at him worriedly, He started laughing! ****_Laughing_****! “I was joking,” He smirked. **
** I hit him on his arm, “Don’t do that!” I pouted. **
** He started laughing ****_again_****! **
**This man! **
** I hugged him randomly, “I missed you.”**
**“Me too sis,” He wrapped his arms around me in a bear hug—like a dad protecting his cub. **
**He smelled of candlewood? ****_Since when! _**
** I sniffed, “What are you doing?” He asked.**
**“You got a girlfriend!” I jumped up and giggled. **
** “What makes you say that?”**
**“You!” I pointed, “Guilty! You smell like ****_a_**** ****_real_**** man.”**
** “But I ****_am_**** one?” He rolled his eyes, **
**“Uh-huh, and I’m Taylor Swift,” I smirked. **
** “Fine.”**
**“Oh my gosh! Tell me her name!” I jumped up again and put my hands on his shoulders. **
** “Is she pretty? Brunette, blonde? What does she like to do?” **
** “Gosh, Slow down sis, you’re ****_that_**** eager for a sister-in-law?”**
** “Josh! I have 10 brothers, doesn’t that tell you anything?” **
** “You mean ****_we_****?” **
**“Don’t argue!” I joked. **
****
** “She doesn’t smell of candlewood,” He mocked, counting on his fingers, “She doesn’t dress like a boy, or wear ugly shoes,” He pointed to mine.**
** “That’s it!” I walk out of the room and then pause, looking back, “I thought you were coming tomorrow, but everything is ready in the guest bedroom.” Before I walk away he says, “I love you, sis!” I roll my eyes and smile as I head to my room. **
