( dreamself .me/d/h8WG) is what Melanie looks like and ( dreamself .me/d/h8WH) is Melody.
"Hey. Ever seen a butter sock?" A twelve year old girl with long brown hair with two buns, one on each side of her head and big, gentle, red eyes. She wore a cropped red jacket with a white t-shirt underneath. She had a red and black plaid skirt with a black ribbon around her waist as a belt. For shoes she had black high-top sneakers with white laces. For socks she had red knee-highs with a black fabric connecting them to her skirt.
"No. What's it for?" A girl who looked exactly like the girl but with blue, gentle eyes asked her twin.
"This."
The first girl pulled said weapon out from behind her back and whacked one of their attackers in the face. He fell to the floor and the next guy ran up about to punch but the second girl dragged his right arm behind his back and kicked him into a wall and he became knocked out. The first girl pointed at the exit of the alleyway and looked at the third guy who tried to mug them early in the morning.
"You have five seconds to get out of here. Five-four-three-two-one OUT!"She counted quickly making him scramble and leave his unconscious buddies behind. The two girls high-fived and laughed.
These two girls were called Melanie and Melody. They have a special secret that they keep to themselves. It's about what is possible when they touch. When they make a physical connection they can control any element they please and can bend it at their will. During a full moon they can even make a person do whatever they want by bending the water in the person's blood. They had lived in complete secrecy about their power but had finally decided to let it out. First they had to find some certain people. They are both perfectly good fighters, but Melanie is the better one. She can make nearly anything you hand her a weapon. Melody makes up for it by her ability to work with machines and build anything she pleases.
When they left the alley side by side they turned left and started walking through the streets of Steel City without second thoughts. After a while they came to a door of a familiar T shaped tower. They glanced at each other in the corner of their eyes and locked hands. They took a deep breath and Melanie raised her hand. They let their breaths go and gained looks of determination. She knocked loudly three times. They stood outside for about a minute before she knocked again. This time they heard voices and they smiled at each other in encouragement. On the inside they were so excited that they could jump for joy since they knew who the voices belonged to. Two kids about their age opened the door.
They were wearing white one piece unitards with black stripes. One has plus signs on the side of his head while the has minus signs. The two twins also wear a yellow mask covering their eyes. They only seem to have one strand of hair shaped like a lightning bolt but the costume could be covering the rest of their hair. "¿Hay algún problema?" *Is there a problem?* Menos spoke in Spanish.
"We were hoping to speak with the leader about something important. But if she isn't available we can wait." Melody asked politely. The twins looked at each other as if debating what to do.
"¿Tienen nombres?" *Do you (formal) have names?* Más asked.
"My name is Melanie and this is my twin Melody. We have a certain . . . ability, that I thought we should share." Melanie looked at her sister and Melody giggled slightly.
Menos looked at Más and saw that he was looking anywhere but Melody's face. Menos thought it was weird but decided to ask later. He grabbed Más' hand and led him off while the other two were left at the door.
"¿Qué crees que debemos hacer?" *What do you think we should do?* Menos snapped Más back to the real world.
"¿Pueden reservar? Sólo hasta que nos despertamos Señora Bumblebee." *Can they stay? Only until we wake Bumblebee.*
"¿Por Qué quieres ellas se para reservar?" *Why do you want them to stay?* Menos wasn't so sure they should. Then again, what harm could two twelve year olds do to a bunch of superheroes?
"Bueno, ¿por qué no? Ellas dijeron que tienen una habilidad. Tal vez pueda ser útil para el equipo." *Well, why not? They said they have a skill. Maybe I can be useful to the team.*
"¿Por que no miraste cuando Melody se reía?" *Why did you not look at Melody when she laughed?* Menos just decided to be straightforward about this subject as he couldn't hold his curiosity anymore.
"..."
"Más ... Dime." *Más . . . Tell me.*
Más whispered so Menos could barely hear him as Más blushed slightly. He was nervously fiddling his hands and rocking on his heels. "... Porque yo pensaba que era linda." *. . . Because I thought it was cute.*
Menos was silent for a moment. "¿Qué?" *What?* They heard a knock and turned. Melody was standing with an annoyed pose with her arms crossed and her left eyebrow was raised. Melanie was leaning against the door frame with her hand up showing she was the one who knocked.
Melody spoke up. "So can we come in or what?"
"Sí, pero no toques nada." *Yes, but don't touch anything.* Menos scolded and the two watched as the girls walked in carefully. They knew the guys had their eyes watching them.
They looked around and smiled. They were another step closer to being heroes!
"Nice place you got." Melanie complimented.
"Nice? Please this place, es fantastico!" *is fantastic* Melody openly stared in awe at the high roof and open rooms. "Oh! a window!"
They ran to the window and looked outside. The boys looked at each other in confusion.
"This place is amazing!" Melanie squealed. "I love the ocean!"
They turned around smiling and saw them looking proud. "Did you guys build this?"
"Quizás." The boys spoke in sync. "Sí, nos ayudó un poco." *Maybe. Yeah, we helped a little.*
"You two are so cool!" Melody half-shouted.
"Yeah! Say something else! We love how you guys talk!"
"Please?" They both begged making the guys sweatdrop.
"Uh, ¿qué nos quiere decir? Sólo algo?" *What do you want us to say? Just something?*
"I could die right now and be completely happy." Melanie giggled and hugged Menos really tight, but not enough to do any damage. The other two looked on with humor.
"Alright Melanie. Get off him. He's supposed to be living in order to save the city whenever needed. He can't do that if you're strangling him." Melody and Más laughed. Melody and Más had to pry her off Menos as he was stuggling and her death grip was holding him captive. After a while they gave up.
"¿Y ahora qué?" *Now what?* Más asked panting.
"Now, we do this." Melody turned to Melanie and spoke in her ear. "There's a bunch of waffle mix in the kitchen waiting for you."
Melanie froze for a moment. She looked at Melody and then Menos. He was a but scared. She let go and ran off to the kitchen. "Waffos!"
"And that's how you get 'er done." Melody sat in a chair at the round table by the window She looked outside with a smirk. "You guys going to stand there like a bunch of goofs or are you going to sit down to wait for some waffles?"
They shrugged and sat down across from her. Más was making sure his brother was ok after his attack but saw the only thing hurt was his pride. He was tackled and taken down by a girl his age. After a while the smell of food came from the kitchen. It wasn't a bad smell, or the best one you've ever smelled, but it was still good. The twin girls weren't the best chefs but were good enough to make you want more. Pretty soon Melanie came out with a big plate stacked with lots of waffles.
She set out four plates with forks and knives and brought those out with syrup and butter she found. "Dig in everybody!"
Melody took three waffles and Melanie took five. The other two took one each to start with. It was a regular waffle. except for the fact that it had cinnamon and chocolate chips in the middle. After the boy twins each ate at least four waffles happily was when someone else woke up.
"Man, I'm starved! What's that smell? It's pretty good. I didn't know you guys could cook." They looked up and saw Speedy walk in. He sat down next to the girls and took a waffle eating it with his hands. He ate two bites before he realized something. ". . . Am I the only one who sees two sets of twins in this room?"
The others laughed and Bumblebee came into the room with Aqualad.
"Oh! ¡Señora Bumblebee! Les gustaría hablar con usted!" *Mrs. Bumblebee! They would like to talk to you!*Más shouted as he took another bite.
"¡Sí, y ella hizo deliciosos gofres!" *Yes, and she made delicious waffles!* Menos shouted even louder pointing at Melanie.
"¡Agarra una antes de comer todos o pídale que haga más!" *Grab one before we eat them all or have her make more!* They teased the others as they both took another and Speedy took two.
"These are pretty good. Who made them?" He asked making Más and Menos give him a deadpan look. They pointed at Melanie.
"It's good to know you guys like them. I think they're pretty amazing too." Melanie laughed and gave Melody a high five.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Bumblebee asked as she walked up to the girls. She won't exactly trust two random girls who just walked in from no where.
"Sus nombres son Melanie y Melody." *Their names are Melanie and Melody.* Menos told Bumblebee.
"¡Sí! Y Melanie le gusta Menos!" *Yes! And Melanie likes Menos!* Más explained teasingly.
"Bueno, Más le gusta Melody!" *Well Más likes Melody!* Menos retaliated making Más choke on his latest bite.
When he recovered he denied it. "¡No lo hagas!" *Do not!*
"Sí usted lo hace." *Yes you do.*
"No."
"Sí."
"No."
"Sí."
Más started getting mad. "¡No!"
"¡Sí!"
They were about to start brawling when Aqualad picked them up, one in each hand, and held them apart. They raspberried at each other. They looked at the girl twins as they started laughing lightly. "Well I'm Melanie and this is my younger twin Melody."
"Look at Más and Menos! Those guys are so cool! And even cuter in person!" Melody gushed and Aqualad set the boys down.
"Wait, so you know these guys?" Speedy asked with raised eyebrows.
"Of course!" Melanie seemed offended. "We know all of you!"
"We even know their catchphrase!" Melody had stars in her eyes pointing at the twin boys.
The girl twins got in the guys' pose and clapped hands. "¡Más y Menos, sí podemos!" *More and less, yes we can!*
"This is so amazing! I'm talking to Titans East and I got to meet the twins!" Melanie squealed and immediately hugged Speedy tightly with Melody making all of Titans East look at each other in question.
"¿Sabía usted de ellos antes?" *Did you know of them before?*
Más shook his head and the girls let go laughing.
"Of course you don't know us. We're just local nobodies. But you guys are so amazing!"
"Wait, so you can understand what they say?" Bumblebee was a bit surprised.
"Eh, más o menos." Melody did a 'so-so' sign with her hand before she giggled. "See what I did there?" She giggled some more.
"Well aren't you both little bunches of laughter." Aqualad commented.
"I'm sorry but We're just big fans of you. I mean I could hug them all day long if I could! I have so many friends who would kill to be here!" Melanie paused before squealing. "I'm talking to the Titans East!"
"Melanie! Get you're act together!" Melody shook her sister by the shoulders and she blinked before smiling.
"Qué piensas de ellas?" Más asked his brother. *What do you think of them?*
"No sé. ¿Son bonita?" *I don't know. They're pretty?*
"¿En serio?" Más was kinda shocked that Menos would actually admit that. *Seriously?*
Menos nodded. "No me digas que no crees lo mismo." *Do not tell me you do not think the same.*
Más looked at Melody shaking Melanie before giving Menos a sheepish grin making him laugh.
"¡Te lo dije!" Menos shouted and Más lightly blushed. *I told you!*
"Cállate." Más grumbled. *Shut up.*
The girls piped up. "Uh, you know we can hear you, right?"
This made them both blush deeply and rub the backs of their heads as the others laughed.
"I think I like these girls." Speedy smirked.
Melody and Melanie faced the leader. "Thank you! Anyways, we came to ask something from Ms. Bumblebee." Melody started rocking back and forth on her feet as she clasped her hands behind her back and they smiled.
"We thought you might like to know about us." Melanie explained further. "We would like to help you out."
"Help us out? What do you mean by that?" Bumblebee asked. The girls looked at her with a small smile.
"Want us to show you? We would have to go outside. Don't want to destroy your tower you know. That would be bad." Melody said with a giggle.
"Nunca se le preguntó sobre sus poderes, ¿que hicimos?" *We never asked about their powers, did we?* Menos shook his head at his brother's question. They all ran outside with Melody and Melanie holding hands across from Titans East.
"So how are we going to do this? Have us just show you or should we battle you guys?" Melody smirked.
