She saw that frown, and simply tucked her arm through her friend's. "S'me allowance, 'n' I wanna spend it on me bestie," she said. "N' if yeh don't like dat...jus' fink of it as bein' on yeh bruvver's sickle, since it's from doin' 'is extra chores last week." She'd gotten quite into doing the washing up, and Al seemed to like the deal they'd made.
...and then it was her turn to frown slightly. "Yeh didn't have to do that." Which was obvious, really. "But I look forward to seein' it." Dora really did buy the best presents.
"
I'll take your word for it. Dad would kill me if he caught me on the rooftops. He worries too much anyway." It was true. He was far more protective of Dora than he was of Al... and with good reason, she supposed. Dora was the baby girl, after all. Hehe. That's not to say that he didn't care for and worry about Sam, though. Because he absolutely did, he just didn't pry or push where she was concerned.
Her brother's sickle? Pfft. He never did ANYTHING to earn money. Ever. He was lazy that way. And it bothered Dora not... because she used to get the money, and now Sam did. It was a win, no matter what. Hehe. "
Alright, alright! Whatever. Lunch is on you, but I got you a new tie for school and a scarf, too." So there! She ruined the surprise and let her pick up the bill. HA!
She took pride in being P E T T Y sometimes. For real.
"
So... got anymore summer plans?" Like holidays she might take that she is unaware of? HMMMM? Clicking her tongue in thought, she followed up with, "
Because Spike and Addy want us to come round. Only if you want to though. If you have other stuff going on, don't worry."
