Clara & Clio

"C'mon let's go!" exclaimed a young girl. She had shimmering green eyes, the shade of a pine tree, and her long curly hair was a chestnut brown with small streaks of blond all through it. She had some light brown freckles lightly sprinkling her tan skin. She wore her pajamas. A Batman T-shirt, and long blue sweat pants. She looked like her mom who was a mix of everything. Her name was Clio, and she would be turning thirteen next month, even though she acted half her age.

"I don't really want to." stated the girl next to her. She had short straight blond hair, and light blue eyes. Her pajamas were a bright pink tank top, and powder blue Capri pants. She looked a lot like her dad. 100% Pennsylvania Dutch. (aka German) her name was Clara. She would also be turning thirteen like her twin, except she acts twice her age.

"Oh c'mon. Pleeeeease." begged Clio with a pout.

"Fine fine quite whining." sighed Clara reluctantly. "can I at least get changed into something warmer?" she inquired.

"Nope. First snow rules." Clio smiled happily.

"They're rules for the first snow?" Clara inquired raising an eyebrow.

"Yup." grinned Clio. Clara rolled her eyes, annoyed at her sister. Clio opened up their back door to their yard. A giant corn field covered in a blanket of untouched snow. Well… at least it was untouched at that moment. Clara stepped out, then jumped back in.

"See. There. I did it. Happy?" she questioned.

"Not in the slightest." Clio stated, pushing her sister out of the house, then jumping out herself. "Tag! You're it!" she screamed tapping Clara on the shoulder and bolting out into the field. Both of their feet were freezing from the snow. Both of them didn't have shoes on.

"Come on Clio!" Clara exclaimed. "let's go inside!" she was freezing.

"You gotta tag me first!" Clio yelled back at her sister. Clara rolled her eyes and chased after her. It was a long chase for they were evenly matched, and they had a long expansion of property. Finally Clara tackled Clio like an American foot ball player. They both rolled in the snow, laughing until they cried. The laughter was short lived, for they were soaked head to toe in snow, very far away from their house.

"last one back's a rotten egg!" Clio exclaimed.

"There is no one on earth that can keep that girl still." sighed Clara, as she ran after her. In the end, it was a tie, but Clio wasn't going to admit to that.

"I had you so beat!" she exclaimed while walking into the house.

"Come on Clio, it was a tie." Clara stated.

"Pff. You just don't wanna admit that I beat you." Clio laughed. They both got towels out of the bathroom closet and were drying themselves off. As they did they gazed up at the Christmas tree in their living room. It looked like it was glowing. Their mom, Olivia, was obsessed with the Christmas tree looking perfect. Which meant 3,400 lights on the Christmas tree. Plus ordainments that were over 60 years old that Olivia's mom had when she was young. Then there was the Candy Canes. About one hundred. Then at the very top of the tree was an Angel. She had a gold dress and her skin was a lovely dark chocolate color.

"I wonder what Santa and the Three kings are gonna bring us." Clio stated. Olivia liked the concept of the three kings, and she grew up with Santa so she told her children about both.

"There's no such thing as Santa Clause and the Three Kings." Clara stated.

"Clara Shiera Sheetz!" Olivia exclaimed walking down the stairs to her children. "There is so a Santa Clause, and Three Kings!" she scolded.

"Mom, you can't be serious. How can they get around the world all in one night?" Clara questioned.

" 'Cause they're awesome!" Clio exclaimed. Olivia laughed.

"Well that, and they both have magic." she explained.

"Magic? Come on mom, there's no such thing as Magic." Clara stated sternly.

"Yah huh! Zatanna from Justice League can do magic." Clio debated. Like her mom, Clio was a giant comic book, and superhero fan.

"that's just a cartoon, and just like Santa and the Three Kings, that's not real either." Clara explained. Instead of scolding her child, Olivia simply giggled a bit, almost like an "if only you knew" laugh. The girls didn't pick up on this and just bickered.

"Okay you two settle down. I'm making pancakes, any suggestions?" Olivia questioned.

"Blue Berries."

"Chocolate chips." Clara and Clio said simultaneously. To avoid a wrestling match, Olivia quickly said,

"I'll make both."

"Hey mom?" Clio inquired. Olivia was used to Clio's off topic questions and statements. She was so much like her.

"Yes?" Olivia questioned.

"When will dad come back?" she question. Olivia was silent for a moment. She missed her husband.

"I…" she knew, I don't know, wouldn't be good enough. "I think a few more months." she answered. Both Clio and Clara's faces frowned a bit. "But who knows. Maybe he'll be home for Christmas." she smiled, then returned the pancakes. Clio turned on the T.V and instantly smiled.

"Batman's on!" she exclaimed. Clara rolled her eyes, and started reading a teen magazine that was on the table.

"hey mom?" Clio inquired.

"yes." Olivia said patiently.

"Wouldn't it be the coolest thing if we could go through the T.V and talk to Batman?" Clio asked. Olivia chuckled, and nodded her head.

"Yes, that would be very cool." she smiled. Clio turned her attention back to the T.V, and Olivia frowned as the kitchen light started to flicker off. Olivia glanced at her children to make sure they weren't looking, and then zapped the light bulb with a surge of electricity. The light then glowed brightly. "Very cool indeed." Olivia muttered to herself.
