Chase couldn't help but grin slightly to himself. For the first time since he knew Candice, even though it was brief, this was the first instance they didn't bite each others' heads off. "I'm not a delinquent, I'm not a delinquent," he sang to himself.
"Since when?" Carla asked, coming down the stairs.
Chase surprised by the sudden appearance, flinched back and almost dropped the bottle he was handling. "Don't do that!"
Carla shook her head and walked into the kitchen. She took a bottle of water - clearly labeled as hers - and took a sip from it, though mainly used it as an excuse to glance out the window. "What are you doing?" she asked, coming up for air before taking another sip.
"Not that it's any of your business but I'm getting revenge on Brittany. So you can thank me when she destroys the house's plumbing. We may or may not wanna relocate to Mom's after this," he answered before continuing to mix the laxatives in. He continued on about the prank in detail, even going so far as to say that no one messed with his sister so Brittany completely deserved what she had coming and if he had more time he would do a lot worse...that is, until he noticed Carla actually staring out the window. He sighed and removed the straw, covering up the bottle. "They're towards the other end, by the bench."
Carla looked towards her brother, surprised that he actually caught her trying to see what was happening between Brittany and Candice. She blinked and Chase smirked. Shaking her head, Carla put the water back in the fridge before leaving the kitchen and wandering down the hall towards the back door. She leaned up against the wall, hoping to be just close enough to hear the exchange between the two women. While she didn't particularly want to be out there nor involved, she couldn't allow herself to be too far from Candice. She was willing to give Brittany a piece of her mind for the things she said; even if Candice could handle it, if Brittany said anything like that to her Carla wouldn't easily forgive herself if she just let her girlfriend stand there and take it.
Brittany had continued yapping on her phone when Candice approached, allowing her friends to listen in and gossip as a result. When Candice appeared and spoke to her, Brittany looked up. She spoke into the phone once more, "I'm gonna have to call you back. Something with Charles' kids' little friend or whatever." She scoffed and looked back at Candice. "Excuse me? I was in the middle of a very important conversation. Don't you know how rude it is to interrupt people?" She muttered to one of the other women sitting beside her, "Looks like I'm going to have to step in and show these twins some standards." The woman nodded in agreement and giggled, almost as though Brittany had made a joke.
Pretending as if Candice didn't hear that, Brittany stood up. "Well since you're here and I'm clearly not busy, walk with me." Brittany curled her finger, signaling Candice to follow her. She walked onto the porch and leaned her side against the house, folding her arms. They were not too far from the back door which would make their conversation much easier for Carla to hear. And fortunately for Brittany's sake, anyone who was there was around the backyard mingling. Anyone who would walk in or out of the house would more than likely pay little if any attention to them. "Ok, like I have no idea what you're talking about but let's get something straight here. I live here. I'm in these kids' lives and whether they like it or not I'm just trying to look out for them. I think I have a little more authority than you do." She said 'a little' in a sarcastic tone, as Brittany considered herself to be having more than just a little authority. She stared at Candice and then shook her head. "I'm sorry, which one are you again?"
"Since when?" Carla asked, coming down the stairs.
