Chapter One:

The bright light peeked through the cracks in the blinds covering the window. The copper headed teenage girl groaned tiredly and pulled a pillow over her face to shield herself from the offending rays. Unfortunately for her, at that precise moment her alarm clock decided that she had had enough sleep and started ringing shrilly. Her cheerful mother bustled into to the room, pulling the pillow away from her disgruntled daughter's face and opening the blinds. As the room flooded with sunlight, the girl slowly got out of bed.

"Aren't you excited? It's your first day of high school! I can't believe it myself, how time flies. I can still remember my first day like it just happened," the mother reminisced. "Go get ready Sierra. Breakfast is downstairs." With that, she swept out of the room and into the adjacent room to rouse Sierra's twin brother.

After finally choosing an outfit worthy of the occasion (a green v-neck and a black skirt), she made her way downstairs and sat down next to her sturdy, but less talkative father who grinned at her. Her mother was fussing with the stove as her exhausted brother finally made an appearance. Just as they were finishing eating their blueberry pancakes, her father's cell phone rang. Her mom looked at him, annoyed.

"Will Stronghold, what have I told you? I don't like cell phones, they're very unhealthy, but especially not at the table!"

"Layla, sweetheart, I know that you don't like it but this is an emergency." He glanced meaningfully at his wife until she relented.

"Children, a situation has just come up. I wish we could see you off, but..." she trailed off. "Sierra, Christopher, I expect you both to be on your best behavior. I'm sure you will be fine at Sky High." Will gave both children hugs and wished them good luck. With that, Layla and Will left to deal with their emergency situation. The two twins were now alone.

"Oh, stop worrying, sis. It won't be that bad. Our parents wouldn't let us go if it were THAT dangerous. We both have our powers, I know you haven't fully discovered all of yours, but at least you have some. And we already have friends," he reassured her. After high school, Will and Layla had remained quite close to their friends from Sky High. Their children had grown up together and most would be attending Sky High as freshman this year, with the notable exception of the older or younger siblings.

Warren had married Missy, a pretty blonde ice-queen and still ran the Paper Lantern, where the Stronghold family got slight discounts and extra fortune cookies. Magenta and Zach had finally figured out that they belonged together, though they still had the not-so-occasional arguments. Their daughter Marissa was Sierra's best friend. Ethan had married a teleporter, Tia and their son Jake was the only one of the Stronghold twins' group that hadn't found his powers yet but he seemed not to mind too much.

Sierra cheered up slightly. "You're right, for once. It's just another school. The things I've heard were probably just horror stories. What could possibly go wrong?" They heard honking and rushed out to the waiting bus. "Well this is it," Sierra whispered to herself. She took a deep breath and got on.
