NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter one
There was almost silence in the earth-toned kitchen, the only noise that could be heard was the quiet ticking of the brown wall clock, pencils sliding lightly over paper, and the calm, relaxed breathing of the two boys to whom the pencils belonged. One boy sighed and rubbed out something he wrote.
'BRRRINNG BRRRINNG BRRRINNG!!' came the phone, breaking the silence, from across the kitchen making the boys jump so bad they nearly fell out of their chairs.
"Got it," Talim and Tails shouted together as they bound out of their chairs, knocking them over, and across the humongous kitchen, tripping and stumbling on and around multiple sizes of brown cardboard boxes in an attempt to get to the phone first. Talim shoved Tails, making him slide, but Tails got his balance back and pushed Talim back.
'DING-DONG!' sounded as Talim, after much practice swiftly and smoothly switched direction turning to the right, toward the kitchen door. Talim turned the handle as Tails, clumsily, slipped changing directions and slammed face first into Talim's back.
"OW!" Talim and Tails shouted together. Talim and Tails looked at each other and then burst out laughing, they were both laughing so hard they didn't notice the girl at the door. The girl stood at the wide open door staring down at the boys, who were still bent double pounding the floor.
'Maybe I shouldn't have come here', she thought to herself, biting her lip in debate about whether to just leave or not. The decision came to her quickly, she started to turn around when the phone rang.
'BRRRINNG BRRRINNG BRRRINNG!!' came the phone again, the boys didn't even hear it, they were laughing so hard. Talim's giggling began to slow.
"Uh the phone is sorta ringing," the girl said shyly looking at the boys. The boys didn't hear her. She tried again, "the phone is ringing."
Tails' laughing calmed down and he looked up at the girl at his door. She was pretty. She had brown hair and magnificent blue eyes, lined with honey. She wore a pair of blue cargo pants and a white baby-tee.
The two's eyes met for a moment, before he looked away quickly. The boys looked at the phone, they suddenly, slipping, stood up straight and turned around as Talim shoved Tails, Tails fell sideways and Talim ran for the phone and grabbed it.
"Hello?" Talim said suddenly formal. Whoever was on the phone chattered loudly. The girl looked at Tails, still on the floor, and smiled
"Yes ma'am," he replied."Okay, love you ma," Talim said blushing, "See you."
'BEEP','the phone sounded as Talim hung-up.
Talim walked over to Tails and reached down for his arm and pulled Tails up, with a smooth, swift tug, Tails stood and straightened.
"Hello", the boys said now standing side by side.
Talon thought to herself, 'they're identical twins almost everything from head to toe, including their eyes, match, their clothes are the only thing different.' Tails wore a white polo shirt and a pair of khakis. Talim wore a grey polo shirt and a pair of black khakis.
"Hi", she replied, "are your ma or pa home." She could guess the answer by looking at them. Her guess was no. The rich kids' parents were never home, always away on business, or something like that.
"No, ma'am", they said once again in unison. They noticed the change in her expression. Tails glanced at Talim, then Talim shrugged.
'Ma'am?' She thought,'oh they must go to that English school.' She bit her lip lightly."Uh there's no need ta call me ma'am I'm only 11", she said, giggling lightly.
Tails smiled for a moment as she giggled. Talim noticed the look on his brother's face and grinned. 'he likes her.'
'She must be one of the folk around here that don't go to an English school', Tails said, talking telepathically. 'Hopefully,' Talim said in reply.
"Oh you said your age, ladies ain't-er are not supposed to say their age," they said. Tails looked at his feet for a moment.
'These two are a tad strange ain't they,' she thought.
"Oh, you don't go to Johan Private Elementary School do you?" They asked hopefully. 'Please?'
"Nah, 'course not," she replied, and started to worry. 'What if they don't like me?'
Tails noticed the worry in her voice. "Well that's awesome then," Tails said quickly to stop her worry.
"Wha?" She said, now puzzled. 'Don't rich kids like rich kids?'
"Then yah don't mind us talkin' the way normal folk do?" Talim asked.
"No prob", she replied, easing a little.
"Cool", they said. Tails smiled again.
"So your family's new here right?" She asked.
"Yah, o'course", Tails replied.
"So, do you live around here? Um..." Talim asked.
'Now they talk separately', Talon thought, "Talon, and yeah, just up the road."
Tails smiled at this, "Well that's-"
"Awesome. So you wanna come in?" Talim said, cutting off his brother. He stepped aside, allowing her into the house.
"Sure, why not?"Talon replied. She stepped into the house and looked around. It was the farthest thing from organized, on other conditions, she assumed, it would be spotless. Both boys turned and faced her.
"You're really pretty," Talim said, a light blush covering his cheeks. Tails stared at him with shock.
Talon blushed, "thank you." She smiled at Talim, her eyes meeting his, "you're pretty cute yourself."
"No problem, just stating facts," Talim said, "thanks." Tails' stare turned from shock to jealousy. He quickly looked away.
"You want something to drink?" Tails said quickly. Talim shook his head, "Talon?"
"Um sure," Talon said. She smiled at Tails lightly.
"What would you like?" Tails asked, "we've got everything."
"I'm sure you have," Talon said bluntly, she saw the confused look on the boys' faces, "it's just that, you guys are really lucky. You two have this big house all to you and your parents. I share a house with Da and anywhere between five and seven other people at a time.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Talim asked, "not a steady number, what kinda house do you live in?"
Before Talon had a chance to answer the boys' faces changed and their eyes widened, "crap."
"Uh, what's wrong", she asked suspiciously, turning around.
