Burn out [Ireland]

[Rhys Evans]

This was not Rhys’ day. He groaned as he rubbed his eyes in annoyance. The phone was sitting there innocently as if it had done anything. Of course it hadn’t but Rhys needed something to blame right now. He had just got off the phone with the one person who could send his blood pressure through the roof. How the bloody hell does someone sent their own house on fire? Just thinking about that conversation made his head ache. And now the pyromaniac was coming to stay at his house until hers was prepared. He partially blamed temporary insanity and the other part on weakness towards tears.

Now the little fire demon was on her way and he to hide all the alcohol in house before she drank herself into a tizzy, leaving nothing for him. He also had to give her some credit he knew she would have called Arthur first, but Rhys was closer to the university than Arthur and had more room than Arthur.

[Aoife O'Neil]

Aoife knew that her older brother (well, technically half sibling) was not going to be pleased that they were going to be living together for a while. Then again, it wasn't Aoife's fault that she accidently burnt her house down. Hell no! Blame those stupid scientists for experimenting on Elliot's best friend and pissing her off...! OK, maybe she should get so worked up over E.T., but it was an emotional movie, and Aoife found it very easy to get angered by those science bastards.

Letting out a deep breath as she tried to stop herself getting worked up again, the redhead made her way to her brother's front door and rang the bell, dragging along a large suitcase behind her. She had been lucky that some of her most valuable possessions hadn't been destroyed in the fire. Her collection of lucky charms and a teddy bear dressed as a leprechaun, named Patrick (a gift from her older brothers when she was much younger), miraculously surviving the catastrophe just confirmed her beliefs that Aoife was blessed with good luck! Besides, moving in with Rhys could be worse. At least he would have plenty of alcohol in stock~

Growing impatient, whilst tapping her foot restlessly, Aoife rang the bell once again. What was taking him so long? Did he want to leave his little sister outside, so she could freeze to death?!

Again, Aoife had to calm herself down a bit. She was overreacting; clearly the fire had made her more than a bit tense.
