Theme #8: Diffindo
The Tale of the CABBAGE


Cousins.

FAVOURITE cousins.

Then why did they fight so much?

"Gold, Lavonne, cut it out," Mrs. Laksh called out from the vegetable garden, her sleeves rolled up to accommodate gloves. "When will the two of you learn to get along for more than twenty -"

THWAAACCKKK.

Mayona Laksh's eyes widened. "GOLD LAKSH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? COME HERE, THIS INSTANT!"

No response.

She heaved a sigh, returned to the veggies. It was comfort to know that they, at least, could not run away from her call.

- Or launch themselves at a cousin they couldn't live without, because said cousin claimed to be able to cast a better Diffindo.

"I can't believe I will get to meet them!" Lavonne Darren squealed. "The Broomsticks. HERE. In FRANCE! Can you believe it?"

"I have tickets for the after-party," Gold said, with a grin.

Lavonne stopped in her tracks. "Whoa!" she said. "WHOA! How - who -?"

"Dad."

They high-fived, hugged, and Gold did not wave her cousin off, at the door. "Come in for a bite," she said. "I ordered pizza, earlier."

"Sounds good, Goldie -"


Mayona Laksh looked up when the two walked in, arm-in-arm, and rolled her eyes.
