"Stop squirming." MIkan sounded playfully frustrated as she scolded Ringo, who was sitting in a lone chair in the middle of the main room.

"But you're pulling too hard," Ringo complained.

Mikan rolled her eyes. "Come on. You're supposed to be tough! Brushing your hair shouldn't be a big deal."

"I can brush my own hair, you know," Ringo pouted.

"Yeah, but I like to, and I'm your big sister, so you haveta let me."

Ringo sighed dramatically, but leaned back slightly and grinned. After this, Ume was probably going to insist on helping with her yukata, and then Rika would "offer to help" with her makeup. She'd missed her sisters.
