journal 4/8

"There he goes.. up, up, up and away!!!" excitedly says Herman going down Maple alley.
"What?!?! who is going UP,UP,UP AND AWAY!!!!??" replies Merman walking at Herman's side.
"You know your brother. He's in that space rocket and he's going to be gone forever!" Herman is reminding Merman what is going on.
"OH! YEAH! YAY! YAY! YAY!" Merman is more than happy what's going on.
Merman's brother was an ugly adult, and very rude to everyone he meets. No respect at all and doesn't treat people the way he wants to be treated. He is 13 years older than Merman and his name is Pip. We all know it could sound like a name from a dwarf, but that's why everyone made fun of him. He didn't care he was always a spoiled brat and always wanted things his way until Merman was born. Then he never got things his way anymore. He didn't like that.
Flashback.
"Mommy, I don't want a brother. Can you please take him back to the store and never get another child again?" Pip rudely said to his mom.
"Sweety, there is no reason why you should be angry with having a little brother," his mom was explaining to him. "But now you have someone to play with and that you have someone to take good care of."
"Well my issue is that there are things that you aren't being fair to me at all. All you care about is Merman and not about me. Goodbye." Pip said as he started to cry.
"Pip, we all know you are going to be happy with this someday."
"no I'm not."
"okay."
15 years later....
As Merman was sitting on the bench with Herman,they were talking about how much Pip always hated him. So as they watched to rocket go, it turned around and came back down to the Earth. They were both very confused about what was going on, so they ran to the nearest place that had a rocket landing. Supposedly Pip felt bad and all he wanted was a life to himself and nothing to do with Herman. That was rude of him to say, but as long as Pip was home, Merman can also stay away with him with everything he did to him.
