Chapter 1
Meet the Twins
It was a wonderful day in Domino City, the birds were singing, people were walking in their shorts and t-shirts, and the Ice-Cream Shops were open for business. Even the Twin-Js were enjoying the wonderful weather.
"Hey wait up, Jaden!"
"Not in this lifetime, Jesse!"
Oh that's right. You don't know who the Twin-Js are. Let me explain. Their names are Jaden and Jesse Yuki-Anderson. They're somewhat fraternal twins, but act too much alike, with very few differences. This had earned them the name 'The Twin-Js'. Since their names both started with J and they were twins.
When they were born, the parents were slightly surprised they looked the same yet different. The reason for their last name was the fact that the parents, despite being married didn't know which one to give them. So, to make things easy they combined the two names.
Oh, you're wondering about the twins themselves, then why didn't you say so?
The first one is Jaden Yuki-Anderson. He is 14, and has two toned brown hair that was long in the front and short in the back. He also had brown eyes. Jaden was the younger of the twins by three minutes, and was also the faster, but could still hold his own should he need to use his fists. Jaden also loved the color red, and had a fondness for heroes and some fantasy.(Though would never admit that last part to anyone except Jesse.)
Jaden was currently wearing a red t-shirt, brown khakis and red sneakers. He had on a silver necklace with an angel wing that read 'Jaden' in red letters, it also looked like there was a hinge to connect it to something.
The second was Jesse Yuki-Anderson. Also being fourteen, and older than Jaden, Jesse had shaggy teal hair and light green eyes. Jesse also had a heavy southern accent. While Jaden was faster, Jesse had more strength, but could most of the time keep up with his slighlty younger twin. Jesse's color was usually blue and, while Jaden liked heroes, Jesse liked to study Crystals and Gems. He also had a great fondness for animals.
Jesse wore a blue t-shirt, blue jean khakis, and blue sneakers. Jesse also had a silver angel wing around his neck, but it read 'Jesse' in blue letters, and also had a hinge.
"Hurry up Jess,"Jaden called, urging his twin to keep moving.
"What's the big hurry Jay?"Jesse called back, laughing at his brother's eagerness.
"Rodrigo is about to open shop!"Jaden yelled back, and this caught Jesse's attention. Instantly, he was right beside his twin, smiling. Jaden smiled back, and then looked ahead. The twins turned a corner, and started to slow down. It wasn't long till they both came to a stop.
They stood in front of a small, white building with a peach roof. There were glass windows that resembled a parlor, and a small glass door that had the sign saying 'open'. In curly, pink letters, the sign on the top of the roof read 'Rodrigo's Seasonal Parlor Shop'.
Jesse and Jaden smiled at each other walking in. A small bell dinged as they walked in signaling their arrival.
The floor was clean, and had brown tiles, and there were some red booths, as well as white tables with light blue chairs with pink leather seats.
"Well,"said a jolly voice that held a scottish accent,"If it isn't my favorite customers, Jaden and Jesse Yuki-Anderson!" The boys looked over to see a chubby man wearing all white with a blue apron. He had curly white hair, a white mustache, and playful blue eyes.
"Mr. Rodrigo!" The boys shouted in unison, and ran up to the counter to greet the older man.
Mr. Rodrigo was one of the owners of this small shop, and he ran it with pride. While most shops had their treats shipped, the Rodrigo's worked hard to make fresh, home-baked treats, and to the twins they tasted great. It was a 'seasonal shop' because every season(sometimes every year) Mrs. Rodrigo would make treats for the season. In Summer it was home-made ice-cream, while in fall they had pastreis like pies and bread, as well as certain meats like ham or turkey. In Winter they made ginger breads, as well as hot chocolate and sometimes had candy hanging around fro younger ones to take. And in Spring they had fun little treats, like cupcakes, cakes, and sometimes strange combination cookies. Everything in the shop was home-made, even the whip cream. They also had a small garden in the back, where they planted their own things to make the treats, like pumpkins or strawberries. While the shop wasn't the most popular, it was defiantly among a favorite for Jaden, Jesse, and their friends.
Mr. R could only laugh at the boys' obvious glee. He thought of them as his own grandchildren.
"Good to see you too, boys,"The jolly man said,"What would you like? It's on the house." The boys looked at each other, jumped into the air, and did a high-five.
"Is is all right if I have a choclate?"Jaden asked, and Mr. R nodded, before looking at Jesse.
"Do you mind if I just have a vanilla, sir?"Jesse asked politely, he nodded again.
"Coming right up boys,"He said, going behind the counter. About a minute later he reappeared with two waffle cones. One with chocolate, the other vanilla, and each topped with some whipped cream and a cherry. He handed the cones to the respective boys and they thanked him. After saying good-bye, they walked out of the shop.
As the boys walked down the street eating the creamy dessert, they talked about random things in general. From what school would be like next year to what their friends had been doing.
"So who's Atticus trying to get together this time?"Jesse asked, taking a lick of his ice-cream.
"Not sure,"Jaden replied, taking the cherry and eating it,"But I think he's trying to get Rosey and Jim to go out." Jesse couldn't help but chuckle.
"Good luck then,"Jesse said,"With Rosey being so shy, it's going to take him forever, for her to even look at Jim without blushing." Jaden laughed and nodded in agreement. They were both so into the conversation, that they failed to notice another boy walking in their direction.
"Yeah you're right,"Jaden said, still chuckling,"He might even go as far as to-"Jesse didn't hear the rest of what Jaden said, cause at that exact moment a dark skinned boy, with short dark hair, walked by. His cold eyes locked with Jesse's, and the southern talker felt his heart freeze.(No not in that way. Sorry yaoi lovers.) Time seemed to slow, and before he knew it, the other boy had already passed and was walking on.
"Jesse?"Jaden said, noticing his brother's distant look,"Jesse?" Only when he shook Jesse's shoulder did he snap out of it.
"What?"Jesse said, finally looking at Jaden.
"Is something wrong?"Jaden asked, concern filling his eyes. Jesse could only look down, before his eyes glanced behind him. Taking the hint, Jaden looked over to see the same boy Jesse had been eye-locked with.
"Axel?"Jaden asked, and Jesse nodded. It was really no mystery that there was something strange between the two. Ever since they met during last year it's as if Axel constantly watched Jesse. And not just him. Even though he would never say it aloud, Jesse had seen Axel watching Jaden as well, as if they were some world renowned criminals who escaped prison.
"I swear,"Jaden said, getting Jesse's attention,"It's as if that guy is out to get you or something." Jesse could only was then that they both heard some music playing from Jaden's pocket. He reached in and pulled out a red and black cell phone. He clicked the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
"Hello,"He said,"Oh, hey mom! Yes me and Jesse are on our way back." There was a pause.
"I know, sorry for being out so late."Another pause.
"Okay, we'll be there soon. Yes, were half way there now." One more pause.
"Okay mom. Love you, too. Bye." Jaden hung up, and returned the phone to his pocket.
"Mom wants us back home ASAP."Jaden said, and Jesse quirked an eyebrow.
"Why?"The twin asked, and Jaden shrugged.
"Beats me,"He started, before smirking at Jesse,"Race ya there!" It was then the boys took off down the sidewalk, being careful not to spill their ice-cream.
First Chapter in the 1st book of the Twin-J mysteries! You're probably thinking 'Not Another One', but I am making a sacrifice for this: I am Currently putting 'Rise of the Rebel' and 'A Jeweled Begining' on a LONG hiatus. Mainly because I've been raring to make this for you guys, and I truly have fun writing it. So please don't hate me for the above stories. And please no flames should you review. And also, I'm getting the second part of Take Me Home Nii-san: The Day at work done! I'm soooooooo sorry for any inconvenience!
