jack wasn't sure how long he hadn't seen janice, but he sure did miss his sister. the several years of living single in hawaii had left his skin a deep bronze, and the sunlight had done wonders for his mind. in high spirits, he had finally decided to phone his sister.
"hullo?"
jack had blinked a bit, adjusting to the sound of his sister's voice--fondly unfamiliar.
"jan?"
silence for a bit, and then, "jackie!"
they had jabbered on for almost three hours, catching up on each other's lives. around midnight they had gotten to reminiscing about the past.
"remember that one time that we went to old jim's cotton plantation and stole some of his cotton?" janice guffawed. "the look on his face--priceless!"
jack giggled. "you know what's even better than stealing cotton?"
his sister went quiet for a minute. "jack, have you been stealing things regularly?"
he laughed heartily. "no, what do you think i am, a career criminal?" janice didn't laugh. "no, but really, stealing pineapples here is so fun. you just kinda 'yoink' and the thing comes right off! and then you run for it."
the other line continued in silence.
"jan?"
she burst into a fit of giggles.
"i'm coming to visit you soon, so you'd better show me where these pineapple plantations are!"
jack smiled widely.
"for sure."
