00:00Hi, I'm Tia from the United States. Before we begin my tale, please like and subscribe.
00:05I'm just your average high school girl next door. Pretty, talented, and great at parties.
00:10I had everything I could ever want. Even my parents were awesome.
00:13There was only one thing I really wanted. A boyfriend.
00:17I dated before, but all those guys were jerks.
00:19I even said yes to a nerd for one date just to see if he'd surprise me.
00:23Never trying that again. No thank you.
00:25Next! I was beginning to lose hope in ever finding my prince charming.
00:29That was until Chris came into my world years later in high school.
00:32My eyes were immediately hooked onto him.
00:35The looks, the smile, and the muscles rippling underneath his shirt.
00:39I just had to have him.
00:41So I asked him out. Something I would never do normally.
00:44But it all worked out because he said yes.
00:46It didn't take long for us to finally go on our first dinner date.
00:50It was incredible. He was such a gentleman and knew just the right things to say.
00:54I knew right as he took my hand that he was the one.
00:57But I couldn't shake the feeling of deja vu.
01:00Like I'd met Chris before.
01:01Oh well. I'm sure it's nothing.
01:03For the next few months, we went on many different dates.
01:06Traveling all over the city, eating wonderful foods, and studying together at night.
01:10Everything was perfect.
01:12I had finally found a good boyfriend.
01:14And he was a keeper.
01:16But of course, something just had to happen to ruin it.
01:19Chris had planned a date at a fancy new restaurant downtown.
01:22I was so excited. I actually got ready early this time and speed walked to the restaurant with a spring in my step.
01:29But when I finally got there, my heart fell to the floor and shattered.
01:33Sitting next to my boyfriend was another girl with her arm around his shoulder.
01:37I didn't care if he looked a bit uncomfortable.
01:39I wasn't taking this betrayal lying down.
01:42So I burst through the doors and marched straight up to the duo's seat.
01:45Who is this?
01:46Dia? You're early.
01:48Answer the question, Chris.
01:49How could you cheat on me?
01:51Wait, I didn't cheat.
01:52Who is this then?
01:53Hello, you must be Tia.
01:55I've been looking forward to meeting you.
01:57I'm Chris's big sister.
01:58The name's Vecta.
01:59The girl's cheeky smirk nearly made me get physical.
02:02But her last words registered just in time.
02:05Uh, sister?
02:06Yep.
02:06I wanted to see who claimed my brother's heart and changed him so much.
02:10You see, I'm very interested because Chris and I are very close.
02:14That's funny because he never mentioned you.
02:17I thought I'd introduce you two when the time was right.
02:19But since Vecta is here, I guess there's no time like the present.
02:22Well, nice to meet you.
02:24But we are supposed to be on a date.
02:26I don't want to be mean or anything, but...
02:27She's right, Vecta.
02:28You should go home.
02:29I'll be back soon.
02:30Oh, she didn't like that.
02:32She looked at us both and instead of leaving, got comfortable.
02:36Nah, you two just act like I'm not even here.
02:38You won't even notice me.
02:40Besides, I'm starving.
02:42Fine.
02:43Fine?
02:44It wasn't fine with me, but she was a sister.
02:47And it was just one evening.
02:49How hard would it be to get through it?
02:51Turns out, really hard.
02:52She kept interrupting non-stop.
02:54Oh, Chris, I have this really funny story to tell you.
02:59That's hilarious.
03:00Oh, stop it, Tia.
03:02I think I just peed a little.
03:04I didn't even tell it yet.
03:05But I know it's really funny.
03:08You just said so yourself.
03:09Which reminds me, Chris, I've got a joke that'll make you poop.
03:13So, a duck and a chicken walk into a bar.
03:15She kept picking up food from Chris's plate and fussing over him.
03:18Why would you order this dish?
03:20You hate olives and broccoli.
03:21Here, I'll take those.
03:22Also, you've got sauce on your face.
03:25There, I got it.
03:26Do you need to blow your nose, Chrissy?
03:27And when she wasn't acting like his freaking mother, she kept staring daggers at me.
03:32I tried to act like I wasn't bothered at all and leaned over to feed Chris some of my pasta.
03:37But seconds later, he started coughing and turning blue.
03:40Oh, my God, you poisoned him.
03:42What?
03:43Of course I didn't.
03:44Chris, are you okay?
03:45Say something.
03:46He can't, you moron.
03:47His tongue is swollen.
03:48What is in that pasta?
03:50Blueberries, kiwis, dandelion tea, rosehip oil, Diet Coke?
03:53No.
03:54Honey, oysters, anchovies.
03:55Yes, it has anchovies.
03:57Don't you know anything about him at all?
03:59And with that, she quickly reached into her bag, pulled out an EpiPen, and stabbed him with it in the thigh.
04:04He gasped and coughed some more, but he could finally breathe.
04:07What would you do without me, bro?
04:09The date ended after that, thankfully.
04:11And as I went home, I hoped it was the last I'd ever see of her.
04:15But for the next two months, it was the same.
04:17No matter where we went and what we did, Vetta was there to ruin it.
04:21Chris just couldn't seem to shake her off and would let her stay.
04:24And she kept making it obvious that she disapproved of me greatly.
04:27I'd catch her staring at me with disdain, like I wasn't worthy of him or something.
04:32It didn't feel like the frustrations of some jealous ex, thank God.
04:35But it was something serious.
04:37Enough to squeeze herself in on our dates and annoy me,
04:40while wearing the most outlandish cosplay outfits and hairstyles.
04:44Childish!
04:45It was even affecting Chris.
04:46He had been looking more downcast lately.
04:48It came to a head when he actually decided to hang out with Vetta over me for a day.
04:53What?
04:53Look, she's my sister, and I have been neglecting her recently.
04:57But what about our date today?
04:59She would just crash it as usual.
05:01I promise we'll hang out this weekend.
05:02Just the two of us.
05:03He kissed me on the cheek and then left me devastated and confused.
05:07That night in bed, I stayed up pounding my pillow, imagining it was Vetta's face.
05:12I wanted her private time back.
05:14But as much as I wanted to slap her, violence wasn't the solution.
05:18Instead, I needed to know what Vetta's problem was.
05:21There must be a reason for why she was acting the way she was.
05:24Luckily, a puzzle piece fell into place during the weekend.
05:27As promised, I was hanging out with Chris at his place.
05:30We were watching a cheesy romance movie while snuggling on the couch.
05:34Right on time, Vetta came out of nowhere and inserted herself into our lives again.
05:38No, literally.
05:39She came and sat between us on the couch, holding a dead potted plant.
05:44You let her plant die?
05:45The plant that symbolizes our bond as brother and sister?
05:48I've never even seen that plant before.
05:50Vetta, what do you want?
05:52A plant that's alive?
05:53But I guess that ship has sailed.
05:55Do you know what next week is?
05:56Christopher?
05:57Christopher?
05:58Now, why did that name sound so familiar?
06:00Before I could remember anything, Chris let out a loud sigh.
06:03I told you not to call me by that name.
06:05Whatever.
06:06Now guess.
06:07Before I call you by your real name again.
06:09That's your real name?
06:10Used to be.
06:11Anyway, I don't know what's happening next week, Vetta.
06:13Can you just leave us alone today?
06:15A part of me was jumping for joy at the way Chris snapped at her.
06:19But another part noticed how hurt Vetta looked.
06:21I gave in to my more merciful half.
06:24What's happening next week, Vetta?
06:26It's the annual LARPing capture the flag event for our city.
06:30LARPing?
06:30Like that thing nerds do outside?
06:32Playing pretend?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Figures you would say that.
06:35Are you attending it with me, Christopher?
06:36You can even bring your girlfriend.
06:38Why would I do that?
06:39That's for losers.
06:40Then Tia should fit right in.
06:42That was it.
06:43What is your problem?
06:44You.
06:44Sis?
06:45No.
06:45Everything was fine before she showed up in your life.
06:48I could say the same for you.
06:50Stop it, you two.
06:51No.
06:51Not if we want this to stop for good.
06:53Vetta, I have a proposal.
06:55Interesting.
06:56Shoot.
06:56We'll join your stupid game.
06:58Do we play in teams?
06:59Oh.
07:00I see where you're going with this.
07:01Yeah.
07:02We do.
07:03I'll be on the team opposing yours.
07:05If my team wins, you'll stop interfering in our relationship.
07:08And if mine wins, you'll break up with Christopher.
07:11That is not your choice to make, Vetta.
07:13What?
07:13Scared she'll lose?
07:14Get bored of you in the game, walking away from both?
07:17What?
07:18I wouldn't do that.
07:19I love Christopher.
07:20And I'll prove it by beating you.
07:22Deal?
07:22Deal.
07:22We shook hands.
07:23And I suddenly realized I just made a deal with the devil.
07:26All because I let my emotions get the better of me.
07:29I don't even know how to LARP.
07:31But there was no backing down now.
07:32My relationship was on the line.
07:34Before this is over, I'm going to remind my brother of who he really is.
07:38All while kicking you to the curb where you belong.
07:41Good luck.
07:41You're going to need it.
07:42Vetta left, and I slumped down on the couch.
07:45What did I just sign myself up for?
07:47Chris sighed before looking at me with determination.
07:50If we're going to do this, then I'll have to train you.
07:53You know how to LARP?
07:54Of course not.
07:55I just picked up some things from my sister.
07:58If you say so.
07:59Where do we start?
08:00Conditioning.
08:01Say what?
08:02Chris was not joking.
08:03I was put through actual exercises and drills like I was preparing for the army.
08:08I was seconds away from giving up.
08:10But I refused to lose to Vetta.
08:12So I pushed on.
08:13And you know what?
08:14I'm glad I kept at it.
08:15Sure, the conditioning was terrible.
08:17But once I was actually playing the game, it felt like I was in another world.
08:22It was magical.
08:23And so different from anything I was used to.
08:25But what really made it all worth it was Chris.
08:27He was really enjoying himself.
08:30That and his immense knowledge on LARPing made it clear he had played before.
08:34Although he refused to admit it.
08:36I hadn't seen him smile like this since ever, really.
08:39And if he was happy, I was happy.
08:41Eventually, the weekend came.
08:43And it was finally time for the event.
08:45And when we arrived at the venue, oh my god.
08:48There were at least 200 people here.
08:50They had even built small buildings and tents.
08:52And the large space with a nice forest surrounding us made it even more picturesque.
08:57Before I could really appreciate the beauty, Vetta came running up to Chris.
09:01Christopher, you really came?
09:03Of course.
09:04We both did.
09:04Hello.
09:05Oh, yeah.
09:06I almost forgot about you.
09:07Are you sure she won't slow you down?
09:09I'd hate for you to lose because of a handicap.
09:12Hey.
09:12No worries.
09:13She's a natural.
09:14She even started to like it.
09:15She did?
09:16Yep.
09:16This isn't so bad.
09:17I-I'm sure she's just faking it.
09:20I'll prove it by winning this thing.
09:21Before Chris could say anything, Vetta fled into the crowd.
09:25She really doesn't trust me, huh?
09:26I'm sorry.
09:27No need to apologize.
09:29She's just a-
09:29No.
09:30She's lonely, okay?
09:32Please don't hate her for this.
09:33It's my fault anyway.
09:34Before I could dig further, a horn echoed throughout the field.
09:37It was almost time.
09:39The two teams, red and green, got into position.
09:41The two flags were placed in their proper bases.
09:44Finally, the next horn signaled the start of battle.
09:47I kept close to Chris.
09:48Despite the training, this was still nerve-wracking.
09:50The worst part was the mages in the teams pretending to react to their own foam ball spells.
09:56It was a struggle at first, but eventually, I got used to it and started having fun.
10:00I could tell Chris was having a blast, too.
10:02Even more so when he noticed I was having fun, too.
10:05Eventually, our squad was closing in on the enemy camp.
10:08Our leader suggested a pincer attack.
10:10Chris was on the other attack squad, which nearly caused me to panic.
10:13But a comforting hand to the shoulder later, I calmed down.
10:17So, we split up and went deeper into the forest.
10:19And this is where things got bad.
10:21One by one, my squad was picked off by some archer in the woods.
10:25It didn't take long for me to be the last one standing.
10:27That's when the culprit revealed herself.
10:29I'm surprised you lasted this long.
10:32Vecta, of course.
10:33I should have known.
10:34We stared each other down before Vecta threw down her bow and drew her foam sword and shield.
10:39Let's make a new deal.
10:40The first one to get a hit wins.
10:42Same conditions from before apply.
10:45I drew my own sword and shield.
10:46Fine.
10:47Good.
10:47Prepare for failure.
10:49Wasting no time, Vecta charged at me as if this was a life-and-death battle.
10:53And I responded in kind.
10:55I wasn't losing my relationship with Chris.
10:57We clashed repeatedly, trading blows on our shields, unable to get a body shot.
11:02Shockingly, I was holding my own.
11:04Chris had taught me well.
11:05I dodged an attack to my leg and asked the burning question in my head.
11:09What is your problem with me dating Chris?
11:11Shouldn't you be happy for him?
11:12Now that really got her mad.
11:15And she was lashing out even harder.
11:17You seriously haven't figured it out?
11:19Of course not.
11:20Why would someone like you remember some poor, nerdy boy who bravely asked the popular girl out?
11:25Huh?
11:25Suddenly, it all fell into place.
11:27Chris was Christopher.
11:29The nerdy boy I had turned down all those years ago.
11:32Christopher used to be a big nerd just like me.
11:35And we were always super close.
11:36But he decided to abandon who he is to become the kind of guy you'd want.
11:41A typical Prince Charming.
11:42I barely even recognize him now.
11:44I felt ashamed of how I hadn't even given Christopher a chance before.
11:47I judged him by his appearance before I even got to know how sweet and amazing he was.
11:52But I knew that now.
11:53And I liked everything about him.
11:55Nerdy side and all.
11:57I wasn't so shallow anymore.
11:59With renewed determination, I took advantage of Vecta's rash attacks.
12:02And finally got a hit on her side.
12:04And she lost.
12:06She was about to break down into tears.
12:08But before that could happen, I hugged her.
12:10I get why you hate me, Vecta.
12:12And I'm sorry for turning him down like that before.
12:14Your brother is a great guy.
12:16And I would never want to change him.
12:18Are you serious?
12:19Yeah.
12:20I love him after all.
12:21For the first time, I actually saw Vecta give me a genuine smile.
12:25I gladly returned it.
12:27Just then, the horn blew, signaling someone had won.
12:30We ran back to the team's base.
12:31And the sight brought another smile to our faces.
12:34Chris, no, Christopher, was being carried by his team while holding the green flag.
12:39And the smile he wore melted my heart.
12:42We won.
12:43My brother is something special, huh?
12:45He sure is.
