"I'm home!" Alexander DeLuca yelled as he walked trough the front door of his home in Wichita, Kansas. "So, how was school?" His mom, Maria Deluca, said as she walked up to him. "Well, good" Alexander, or Alex as he was called, said after a little hesitation. "Oh oh, what happened?" Maria asked her son. She always could tell when something had happened between her twins. Maxine, or Max as Maria´s daughter was called, had recently been upgraded to a "babe" in school and it was driving her son Alex insane; he hated when guys were checking her out. "Well, a guy was looking at Max for a really long time, and then touched her butt" Alex said in disgust. "And what did you do, what did you do, Alex?" Maria asked sternly. She also knew that having two twins, two teenage twins with powers, was a really big problem. "I just made him itchy" Alex said with a grin. "ALEXANDER MICHAEL DELUCA!" Maria said angrily to her son. She knew that Alex loved his sister, but sometimes he took it overboard. "I am sorry mom, but I couldn't stand it; I hate it when guys hit on my sister" Alex said to his mom. "Alex, your sister is 16, I think she can take care of herself," Maria said to him, trying to reason with him. "But mom, I don't want guys hitting on my sister" Alex said, almost whining. "That's no excuse, you know better than to use your powers in public" Maria said a little angrily. "I know mom and I am sorry" Alex said, and put his poppy-dog eyes on. "I know you are, but please try to let Max deal with her life on her own," Maria said to her son. "Ok, mom" Alex answered. "So, where is Max anyway?" Maria wondered. "She's out back working on her bike" Alex said, and rolled his eyes. "Again!" Maria said, and smiled. Ever since Maria had bought her that bike she was always out in the back working on it; she reminded Maria so much of Michael. She surely was Michael's daughter. "You know she loves her bike, I don't see why, I mean can't she do anything like other girls!" Alex said. His sister had never done anything like girls was supposed to. She never played with dolls, played dress-up or wore any make up. "Alex just because you are the school hottie and the star player in football doesn't mean that Max is going to be a cheerleader" Maria said to her son. Alex had always been popular. He was good-looking; he got Michael's looks. He was the jock that every girl loved. "Why can't she be NORMAL" Alex asked his mother, who was on the verge of laughing. "Well, if she was a cheerleader, then she would have more guys hitting on her," Maria asked "Got a point there," Alex answered. "I know, now go out to you sister, and apologize" Maria said, and walked into the kitchen where she burst in laughter. She couldn't hold it any longer; her children were so much fun. TBC |
