Skylar's P.O.V

'And here is your room' Grime explains as he shows me and Sasha our room.

'Room? As in singular?' I ask.

'Is there a problem with that?' He grumbles.

'It's just that me and Sky haven't shared a room since we were like... how old were we?' Sasha asks me.

'Not since we were seven' I answer.

'Well you two are going to have to deal with it because it's the only unoccupied room in the Tower' Grime explains. 'Now if you'll excuse me, I have duties to attend to' he declares as he walks away.

Me and Sasha look at each other and shrug.

'I'm sure it'll be fine' I say.

'Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?' Sasha scoffs.

We keep looking back and forth between each other and the room. 'I predict that this will end in tears' I think to myself.

'You're saying your thoughts out loud again' Sasha deadpans. 'But I agree'

'Will you PLEASE go to sleep Skylar' Sasha yells at me as she throws her pillow at me.

'SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!' I declare as I continue watching the episode on my laptop.

'Why is it that you refuse to go to sleep but also refuse to wake up, it doesn't make any sense?!' Sasha complains. 'Why the hell are you crying? It's just a dumb cartoon!' She yells.

'When Tsu cries, I cry. AND IT'S A BRILLIANT ANIME NOT A DUMB CARTOON!'

'Same thing'

'Is not!'

'Is too!'

'Is not!'

'Is-'

'WILL YOU TWO PLEASE BE QUIET! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!' Grime yells. I could hear the other toads agreeing with him.

'Yeah Skylar, be quite' Sasha whispers with a smug smile.

'I hate you' I mumble while I pout and pull my quilt over my head.

'No you don't' Sasha responds smugly.

'Do you EVER pick up after yourself' I complain at my sister.

'It's my room' she replies all but ignoring me.

It's OUR room you clod!' I yell at her.

'Geez Sky just relax, it's not that big of a deal' She says, her eyes never leaving her phone.

'Why you little-'

'Watch your language Sky'

'Urg! You are the worst!' I storm off.

'That's mine'

'No it's MINE!'

'NO!'

'YES!'

'NO!'

'YES!'

'WHAT THE FROG IS GOING ON IN HERE!' Grime yells as he slams the doors open.

'She started it' me and Sasha said in sync.

'Can you two SERIOUSLY not live in the same room!?'

'No we can not' Sasha deadpanned.

'Nope, not at all' I reply.

'Fine then, Skylar follow me I've cleared out another room for you'

'Really' I perk up.

'Finally I get the room to myself' Sasha says relieved.

———————————————————

'Finally some peace and quiet' I comfortably sigh. 'A little too quiet...' I was starting to get a little antsy 'I don't think Sasha would mind if-NO! I don't need to share a room, I'm thirteen for frog sake! Wait, did I just use a frog saying?'

'You look terrible' Sasha commented on my sleep deprived state. 'Spend all night watching Anime?'

'I don't wanna talk about it' I grumble. 'Honestly you don't look like you got much sleep either' I remark.

'Whatever' She mutters and walks off.

———————————————————

It went on like this for about a week. I don't know why Sasha seemed so tired but I was way too stubborn to admit the reason why I couldn't sleep.

———————————————————

———————————————————

'Why can't I just go to sleep!?' I scream in my head. 'Uurrrg, I can't believe I'm doing this'.

I pick up my blanket and pillow and leave the room. I walk down the halls of the tower but was startled when I heard someone coming in my direction.

'Sky? What are you doing out here?!' It was Sasha.

'What are YOU doing here?' I ask.

'I asked you first'

'And I asked you second'

'Don't do that' Sasha deadpans.

'Fine, I couldn't sleep so I though that a little walk might help' I tell half of the truth.

'If it's just a walk then why do you have your blanket and pillow?'

'Urg fine, I couldn't sleep so I was hoping that I could come stay with you for the night' I look down in embarrassment. I was expecting Sasha to laugh at how pathetic I was being but no laughter came.

'Now I feel a little less pathetic for not being able to sleep myself' she softly chuckles as she shows me her pillow and blanket.

'So would you mind if I came to your room?' I ask.

'Not at all' she says with a smile as we both walk back together.

I wake up, look out the window and notice that the sun is already high in sky, signalling that it's around the afternoon.

'Why didn't Sasha wake me up?' I groan as I stretch out. 'Huh?' I mutter when I hear soft snoring from the other side of the room. I look over and see Sasha asleep showing no sign of waking up. I tiptoed towards the doors of the room as quietly as possible, I turn back and smile at my sister. 'You get as much sleep as you need Sash' I whisper before quietly closing the door.
