Starlight, Starbright
Uber!1
Two worlds collide on accident but the results are long lasting. 2
"Wake up, Cammie, wake up!" Six year old Benjamin shouted as he jumped up and down on the foot of his sisters bed. "Come on, lazyhead!"3

"Go away." Twelve year old Cammeo grumbled as she snuggled further under her covers. "Benny, stop!" She opened one eye and glared at her little brother having grown tired of his antics. "Get down before you fall!" She snapped as she threw back the covers and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.5
Benjamin frowned but did as he was told. Once he was on the floor, he turned to his sister. "Hurry up and get ready!" He could barely contain his excitement.6
Cammeo blinked, trying to clear away the last remnants of sleep. "Get ready for what?" She asked with a yawn as she made her way over to her window. She smiled when she caught sight of the white world outside. The first snowfall of the season was always her favorite. And being November already, it was right on time.7
"Don't you remember?" Benjamin's face fell and some of his excitement faded. "It's my birthday, Cammie." He added in a small voice.8
"Your birthday? Already?" Cammeo had to admit that she had forgotten. "You're five today, right?" She moved away from the window and over to her walk in closet to get dressed.9
Benjamin sighed, it didn't really surprise him that she had forgotten but it still hurt. "I'm six today." He whispered.10
Cammeo exited her closet, dressed in a pair of jeans and oversized sweatshirt. "Six?" Her brow furrowed. "I could have sworn...." She trailed off and shrugged. "Oh well, happy birthday, Benny." She added as an after thought as she pulled his small body to her and wrapped him in a half-hearted hug.11
"Thanks." Benjamin looked down at his shoes once he was released from the embrace. "Mom says breakfast is ready." He just remembered why he was in his sisters room to begin with.12
"So where's she taking you?" Cammeo inquired as she tugged him out of her room and down the stairs.13
Benjamin brightened at the question.
Maybe she'd come after all?! "The Boardwalk!" His picked up the pace so he could keep up with her.14
Cammeo smiled when she entered the dining room. Her parents and older brother were already enjoying breakfast. "Morning." She sat down to the left of her father, across from Anthony Junior, and began filling her plate with fresh fruit; she refused to even look at anything that used to alive. "Any plans today, Papa?" She asked as she popped a strawberry in her mouth and chewed. Realizing she never finished her conversation, she turned towards the other end of the table, where her mother, and now Benny, sat. "The Boardwalk in this weather? You must be crazy. It's probably not even open since it snowed." It was only logical for her to point this out. Not getting a reply, she turned back to her father.15
Anthony Senior smiled at his daughter. "While your mother has Benny at the Boardwalk,
if it's open, I thought I'd spend the day with my two oldest children, sound good to you, Princess?" He took a bite of his bagel and chewed as he watched his daughters face light up.16
"Sounds wonderful, Papa!" Cammeo loved spending time with her father and Tony.17
Amelia gave her daughter a chiding look. "Cammeo, you promised Benjamin that you'd spend the day with him. He'd be heartbroken if you broke that promise." She gently reminded her daughter as she glanced at her youngest child and sighed at the forlorn look on his youthful face. It was bad enough, without Cammeo adding to it, that her husband and two of her sons didn't think Benny's birthday was important enough to celebrate as a family. Already she could see a division forming between her offspring and she refused to just sit back and do nothing about it.18
Cammeo frowned and slumped in her chair. "Is Johnny going?" She wasn't about to go if none of her other brothers were going.19
"No, Pamela invited Johnny to go skiing with her and her family. The Harrison's were more than happy to let Johnny accompany them to their cabin in the mountains." Amelia answered, tightly. It was clear that she didn't approve but it was her husband decision to let the boy go and there wasn't anything she could do about it. "Tommy's going, though."20
"Tricks?" Cammeo snorted at the mention of her next to the youngest brother. She had to bite her tongue to keep from blurting out that he was going because he was a honest to goodness mama's boy. "Why do I have to go if Johnny doesn't?" She whined and crossed her arms over her chest.21
Amelia frowned. "Cammeo." She warned, not prepared for her daughters behavior. Out of her five children, Cammeo was always the most even tempered, easy going one. She was also the only one that used to do everything with Benny. But that had begun to change as the girl got older and grew closer to her older sibling and more distant from her youngest. Of course she blamed her husband for encouraging this behavior but she wasn't about to step in and tell her only daughter that she needed to limit her time spent with her own father and brother. "You promised." She stressed, trying to get the girl to understand the importance of making promises.22
