"TAXI" I yelled to one of the many yellow cars that are constantly running the streets of Manhattan and yet there are so many of them that it always seems that when you're in a hurry there are none available.

"TAXI!" I yelled again but this time a little louder I successfully got the attention of a Bull Arab driving one of these yellow land transportation vehicles

'SCREECH!' Went the tiers as he came to a sliding stop on the side of the road and then I climbed in and shut the door

"Hello sir where can I be taking you today" he said with a slight Arab accent

"Hey, uhh take me to "550 central park north" I stuttered as I told him the location of my humble apartment that I shared with my younger sister Jennifer and my older brother Jeffery

"Alright that a little away but ill will get you there" he said as he took off into traffic

Twenty minutes went by the silence was so awkward that I was so glad when the driver broke the silence with a question

"So what were you doing all the way across town from your place if you don't mind me asking" he asked

"Oh well its my sisters birthday today so I came over to the shopping district to buy her this dress and necklace she really wanted" I said holding up the bags I was carrying

"Oh wow those department stores can be pricy your sister must be really special to you" he commented in a thoughtful full tone

"You have no idea she means the world to me ever since we lost our parents I've been pretty much taking care of her with the help of my older brother" I said with a really caring and bold voice that I hoped projected that I loved my sister to death

"Ah sorry about your parents my friend and that's wonderful that you and your sister are so close, you don't see that a lot these days sibling are usually always bickering and arguing just like my kids they can't go 5 minuets in the same room without picking fights with each other and they are only 10" he told me showing how he cared and wanting to keep away from any awkward silence

"Well I bet that's just the way they show their love to each other. I bet they apologize to each other when it gets out of hand and one starts crying" I said caringly

"Yea they do and I guess it is really sweet now that I think about it, opa! We have arrived to your apartment oooooo and quite a lovely apartment it is" he said with a distracted tone

"Yea I it helps that my brother is a doctor or else I would be living in a box on the amount of money I make" I said jokingly as I stepped out of the cab

"So how much I owe you ... uh hey what's your name I never introduced myself I'm Jeremy Taylor" I said extending out my hand

"Oh my name is Mohender Boorish and that will be 83 dollars and 57 cents" he answered me and shook my hand then I reached into my back pocket and pulled out my wallet and handed him my debit card

"Alright good to meet you my friend and here's your card back" he said handing me back my card

"Yea good to meet you too thanks for the ride," I said as I took my card and turned to head to the house

"Hey! I hope your sister has a great birthday," he yelled from the cab as he pulled away

"Man what I nice guy" I said as I waved him off

I turned after I watched Mohender drive out of sight to head up to the front door of our rather lavish apartment on the edge of Manhattan. It's a 3 bedroom 3 bath two story apartment with the master bedroom which belonged to Jeffery my older brother and the main bread winner in the household. Then the living room and kitchen were spread evenly on the same floor. The upstairs held two other rooms, which held my sister and me.

As I reached the door I set my bags down next to the welcome mat which read the default "welcome" as I fittled with my keys the door swung open to the sight of my younger sister Jennifer who was over zealous to see me since I left the house without waking her like I usually did.

"Jerry your home!" she squealed as she pretty much tackled me to the floor of the porch

'Ump' "hey jenny" I grunted as I pulled her off of me

"Why did you not wake me up this morning big brother I was scared when I did not know where you were" she said in a sad tone

"Aw I'm sorry jenny I wanted to give you a lazy day on such a special day so I let you sleep" I said lovingly as I picked her up and kissed her on the forehead.

"Aw thank you Jerry but where did you go and what's in the bags," she said as her curiosity snapped her out of her sadness.

"I went to go get you a present," I said as I entered the house with the bags

"Oh really what cha get me?!" she said with quite a bit of excitement

"One second ill give them to you when you calm down" I said to the border collie that was pretty much boiling over with excitement that got cut off when I told her to calm down

"Here come sit on the couch and you can open your presents" I said as a gestured to the couch and we took a seat. "It sucks that Jeff had to go help out at that hospital in Boston this week I wish she could be here to see your face when you open this" I said as I handed her the present

"Aw me to big brother I miss bigger brother" she said as she took the gift out of the bag

The gift was wrapped perfectly in chrome paper with an off white ribbon (thank you some much in store wrapping)

"Hehe" I giggled at the fact that she called Jeff bigger brother, she has called him that since she was 5 and I've always found it adorable

"What so funny big brother" she asked as if she had something on her face that was making me laugh "nothing jenny your just so cute now open your gift" I said as I gestured for her to get along with opening the present

"Aw thank you Jerry" she said as she ripped the paper off to see the department name on the box that read Chanel when she saw that she knew exactly what it was and almost started crying

One thing we have yet to get used to is all the money we got not only from our brother but the good bit of life insurance money we got from our parents' deaths we lived quite the wealthy life

"Oh my gosh Jerry this is the exact dress that I saw at the department store over a month ago how did you remember that I wanted this" she questioned holding up the dress to get a better look at it

It was one of the nicest dresses that I've ever seen it was a black dress that reached down passed her knees and had quite a few pleats past the waist and had checkered accents along the seams of the dress

"You're my sister and I care about you that's how I remembered" I said lovingly

Jennifer was in udder aw of the dress never thinking that in her lifetime she could own such a beautiful dress

"So do you like it?" I asked the stupid question that I already knew the answer to just wanted to hear her say that she loved it

"Oh my gosh yes I love it Jerry" she squeaked as she hugged my neck and tousled me over on the couch and started kissing my face and cheeks

"Well I'm glad you like it sis now why don't you go try it on" I said as I playfully licked her nose to get the kisses to stop and she was more than speechless when she got off me and ran up the stairs and to her room

"Ah man so glad she liked it," I said with a sigh " I hope she likes the necklace I got her too

Well now that I have some free time that jenny is trying on the dress I guess I can give you a more descriptive idea of what this family looks like.

Well my father William Taylor was a pure bred border collie with the default marking black body with white belly and extremities but he did have a distinctive horizontal slash across his chest that has been the family birth mark for generations and it was always at a random place on the body. He lived quite the lavish life not to mention he was a stupendous doctor. That's why we got quite the abundant amount of money from out fathers death. Our father was one of the kindest men in the world and not to mention the best dad. After mom died he took care of us for several years till the devil (cancer) took him not more than 5 years ago. It's been a while but I still catch my self-missing him.

My mother on the other hand was a beautiful Siberian husky that grew up in Russia her fur was a dark gray that got lighter as it got closer to her belly and genitals she also had a birthmark that was a vertical line that was down the back side of her right calf. They met at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. They were both track and field stars in their respective countries. My dad was in the shot put, javelin throw, soccer, and high jump events, and my mother was in the 50-meter dash, soccer and long jump. My mother and father met during the face off in soccer when they went head to head.

My dad was the lead striker and my mother was the goalie. My father was extremely nimble and quick and was able to get the ball past her but there was something about her. And not to mention at the time he thought she was a boy since she was flat chested enough to pass off as a boy and play on the male team without anyone noticing, but he noticed her checking him out and was a little put off being that he was not gay but later that day after the U.S. Stomped that team 37 - 15 she sought him out. Not dressed in a more feminine dress she found him hanging out with his team talking about how he could have sworn the goalie was checking him out. Then he turned to see her standing their put off by how stunning she was. Being new to English she told him how she was a girl and was just able to fool the system into thinking she was a girl in the best way she could my father being as good as he was at reading people since he was studying to become a doctor and was doing the Olympics thing on the side. He could easily understand her story and they hit it off from there.

Then 2 years later got married and had Jeffrey Taylor my brother. Then 16 years later I was born Jeremy Taylor. Then 2 years after that my sister Jennifer Taylor was brought into this world with one of the most traumatic births ever. She was a tad premature and had shifted upside down in my mother's womb and was about to come out feet first and the birth procedure was so taxing on her health that it ended up killing her in the process. My father was devastated me being 2 at the time had no clue what was going on except the one I called mom was no longer around.

Then at 6 years later my father fell ill and past due to cancer And after that my brother had to take us in at the ripe old age 24 my brother was studying medicine and was quite the prodigy having already a certified doctor at his age but was still learning all the new things that were being developed everyday.

Now 10 years later I am 18 years old a strapping young border collie husky mix with the flipped furcoloring of the average border that's that I have black up my hands to about halfway up my forearm the fades to gray and then to white, and same with my legs it goes about halfway up my calf then fades to gray and then to white. My hair is short with bangs ended a little above my eyebrows and part to the right and I have a large cowlick to the left. The tips of my hair and tail are black. My muzzle is black and went up the sides of my cheek and up between my eyes ending in a point. My eyes are a fierce blue that coming from my dad. Then there's my birth mark that was a white cross that took its place on the back side of my right calf the same place where my mothers birth mark was. I am the head striker of my high school soccer team and I'm also planning on starting college next year to be a computer engineer.

And my sister who just turned 16 who was the head cheerleader at her high school and one of the most dashing of girls. And was becoming quite beautiful. She had the basic coloration of a border collie just like my father's the few things she had that were different were her mothers fiercely beautiful red eyes, her fluffier fur and the cross birth mark at the same place as mine.

My sister and I have grown quite close being that my brother was still in school when he had to take us under his wing but I took my responsibility as the older sibling to make sure jenny was always taken care of and never left her side making sure she was always happy and caring for her.

Then there was my brother Jeffery he was now 34 and usually left us to fend for our self's when he went around the country to help in his philanthropic ways to open hospitals in rural city's but he never stayed away for more than a week or two. And sadly enough he was away on his sister's birthday.

"Bah ding ding ding" rang the text tone on my phone

I reached in and pulled up the text to see it read

-Will you come help me zip this dress up I can't get it- from jenny

Without replying, I got up off the couch and snuck upstairs hoping I could catch my sister off guard. I reached her door and slowly slid it open snuck up behind her and zipped up her dress and in doing so made her jump, which made me, giggle.
