Elise and Rosemont are sisters who get along really well, mostly - but it drives Elise up the wall when Rosemont copies her. But when Elise storms out of a friend's birthday party because Rosemont has shown up and brought the same gift, she gets hurt - and it's Rosemont who follows and helps. "You always pick me up when I'm down! Where do you think I learned it from?"

As an older sibling myself, copying *still* bothers me, but if Elise is okay with it, I have to be, too.
