Chapter Text
The radio fizzled with static.
Molly, impatient and frustrated at the song being interrupted, gave it a shake. It cleared up afterwards.
“Yo, I think the radio's busted!” she called over to her sisters, loudly as to be heard over the waves at the bottom of the cliff.
Ellie – her favorite person in the whole world and, in her opinion, one of the smartest – quietly pointed out, “It's still playing the song, Molly.”
“Well, yeah, but it was all fuzzy and then I shook it, so it stopped.” Molly reached up and brushed Ellie's hair away from her eye, shoving the radio into her face. “Does it look okay?”
“How would I know? I'm not a radio doctor.”
Molly paused and just shrugged.
Spearmin rolled her eyes that the other two's antics. “Lemme see?” she barely asked before taking it. She briefly fiddled around with the antennae before also giving a shrug, handing it back to Molly. “Let me know if it starts acting up again. Now come on, we're barely even halfway up. We have a lot more climbing to do.”
Molly and Ellie nodded at the older sister, and they set off once more.
She could've sworn she heard another crackle, but it sounded like it came from the sky instead.
