There's this thing called boredom, definition: the state of being bored; tedium; ennui. Well Paul couldn't have been any more bored than he was at the moment and though he wanted nothing more than to leave, alpha's orders say he needed to listen. Paul has heard everything Sam's said over eight times now and didn't see why he needed to be there while he was addressing a new pack member. When a new topic of discussion rose out of Sam, Paul couldn't be anymore thankful that he would be hearing something other than what he knew backwards.

The kitchen table was hard and Paul soon found that out when Sam began a whole new lecture about 'wolfing it' whenever and how careful you should be. Sam only took a glance at Paul before continuing and than moving on without a care.

Paul got bored easily – as demonstrated – but it also wasn't hard to entertain him either. His blank surroundings became history when Sam started saying something he had never heard before. About his cousin's Sammy and Dakota. Paul had never met either before but he was at least glad Sam was talking about something other than being a mutant wolf. What amused him even more was the fact that both cousin's were visiting the entire summer and having new people in La Push was usually a big thing since everyone knew everyone. Having someone who wasn't known much was a fairly rare thing.

Sam went on about them arriving at noon today and how he wanted everyone to give them a good welcome since they were used to strictly their own surroundings. Dakota especially. Sam seemed to have an edge to his voice when he spoke of Dakota and her being able to get used to her surroundings before anyone got too buddy-buddy with her.

"Dakota and Sammy are also twins." He went on. "It's almost impossible to tell them apart unless you look at their eyes, Dakota's are a brilliant and blazing blue and Sammy's are a dark brown and Sammy's eyes are the only ones that change color too. They turn Dark during the winter and almost gold around this time of year."

The rest wasn't anything more than a rundown on the girls' looks and how to tell them apart and how the guys should come around more often so the girls get to know them. And by noon Sam was almost done when the unsurprising light knock at the front door sounded. Sam's face was just way too eager as he made his way to the front opening and the men in the kitchen heard the door slam open.

"Sam, if you break that door I'm going to kick your ass!" Emily's voice was still soft though she was yelling. The weightless laughs at the table didn't go unnoticed by Emily but soon stopped when the first of both twins walked into the kitchen. Everyone knew this was Sammy, only by her gold eyes when she flashed every guy at the table a flirtatious smile. Sammy was beyond gorgeous and even the guys who were used to getting girls left and right have their mouths hanging opened at the sight of the amazingly flawless girl who swayed into the kitchen with all the grace she could. Sammy had long staircase curls abound down her back and ending nicely at the top of her butt. The tattoos on her lower abdomen and just below her belly button didn't go neglected by eyes either. The first one dangerously close to her hip was a brightly colored gold sun and the one under her navel was the outline of a striking blue butterfly. Sammy was wearing just regular Dark wash Bermuda shorts and a red tank top that was in line with her belly button.

Sammy's first destination was Emily, giving the older woman a hug and looking her up and down.

"Wow, you got, older." Emily couldn't hold in the laugh after what she had just said. "and a lot more beautiful." It was obvious the two had met before at family reunions and whatnot but there was also a bond that the men at the table quickly acknowledged.

There was a slight noise at the kitchen doorway and it took everything in the men at the table to look away from the beauty that stood in front of them. Once they though no one would get more beautiful than the preppy, happy, girl that Emily stood next to they stood corrected. Sam was almost completely wrong when he said his cousin's looked the same because the girl that walked into the room could only have one explanation to her; goddess. Their personalities were definitely different you could tell just by looking at them. Sammy's colors were bright and her eyes were of this happy aura when Dakota's were a unspoken message. Everyone knew Dakota was going to be a mystery to figure out, they just weren't going to put their finger on it right away.

Dakota was wearing almost the same thing as Sammy only Dakota's tank was a dark purple and her shorts were white not dark wash. Her tattoos were also different but the one's on Sammy soon made sense to the guys. The one on her hip was a purple moon and the one just below her belly button was the outline of a maroon dragonfly. Dakota didn't pay too much attention to the men and Leah at the table who were literally drooling now – with the exception of Leah – and went straight to her sister and Emily. At first the guys were confused as to why Dakota didn't hug Emily back but a slight whisper they could hear sent them wondering.

"Emily," Emily spoke her own name into her ear and soon Dakota was hugging back just as enthusiastically. "It's nice to see you both again." Emily said giving one last squeeze to the embrace before letting go.

"You too Emily, only I don't think I can say exactly the same." Dakota's voice was the oddest thing any of the males have ever heard in there years of being teenage werewolves, so this meant it was bizarre. There was a song-like quality too it and there had to be more than one voice saying it at a time. But they hadn't seen anyone else's mouth move. They were absolutely hypnotized by it and wanted to hear it again. Everything about this girl left you wondering, and wanting more. She invited you in and could have any single one of these guys on their hands and knees doing any command she could conjure up. No wonder Sam was protective of her, she was absolutely a magnet to any guy and most of them were probably douche bags that think they're going to get some when they aren't.

None of the guys noticed Sam until he had his arms rewrapped around Dakota and Sammy. By the look on his face all the men in the room knew he unconditionally, unquestionably adored them both, and there was a special love for both. All hopes of even fantasizing were done now.

Sam's embrace turned the girls toward the table of guys and Paul was able to get a small glance of those luminous blue eyes and was almost sent out of his chair. He'd never seen eyes anywhere near as beautiful as hers. He'd do anything and everything to keep those eyes exactly the way they were at the moment; happy. He was hypnotized by everything Dakota and he wanted nothing more than to hear her voice again. By now it was a drug to hear her talk, and couldn't help but think how his name would sound rolling off her tongue. Now she was his whole world; no take backs.

Sam noticed the slight difference in Paul's face from the rest of the males although no normal person would have been able to tell and would have thought he was just drooling like the rest. Sam was far from mad at Paul, but he was still a little worried that Dakota would be so close to a temperamental teenage male wolf.

"Alright, this is Dakota, and this is Sammy. Sammy and D this is Paul, Jared, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Seth, Brady, Leah, and Colin." Sam pointed to everyone as he went and Sammy nodded while Dakota waved.

"Call me D," Dakota dismissed the name Dakota to anyone that was close to her or Sam. Sam was her entire world, her savior and the person she adored along with Sammy. The two were everything to her.

Silence was still at the table and Dakota turned to were Sam was. "Are there really people there or did you just trick me?" the seriousness in her voice had Paul wondering even more but he still wanted to hear her talk.

"Well, I wouldn't call them people; more like hormonally challenged teenage boys and Leah." Sam confirmed.

"Yeah D, people are there." Sammy assured her. Dakota just nodded and turned back toward the table.

"If you're trying to make me look stupid by making me talk to nothing I won't be happy." Dakota let out a light laugh followed by a few more which confirmed that there were people at the table. "Oh and let me guess, you didn't tell them and wanted to wait until I got here to make everything awkward right?"

Sam's face fell and he moved a little uncomfortable making Paul lean closer to listen more carefully. "Uh,"

"Right, of course you do that all the time." Sammy laughed and put her arm around Dakota who's been staring at the same spot on the table since they've been talking. "D's blind," Sammy said for her. A few confused faces arose at the table and Sammy went on. "We were like what? 13? And playing with firecrackers on the fourth of July with Sam and D's didn't pop right away so when she bent down to look at them more carefully they popped in her face. It was pretty bad too, she was complaining the whole way. She never cried or screamed it was more like 'Um... I can't see.' Truthfully I was the only one that was laughing at her. Her eyes were bleeding and that was the only thing she could do was complain about not being able to see."

"It did start to hurt after a while, but it didn't bother me much. Sammy thought I was a werewolf because all I did was eat the whole time and I was never really in any pain, but the truth was my nerves were burnt. Same with my hands. I have no feeling in my left one and I can only feel my fingers on my right hand. But that's a different story." Dakota pushed into the conversation.

"I don't think she ever even freaked out when they said she was blind. She was just like, 'Okay, can I have more pie?'" Sammy finished. Dakota laughed along with everyone else in the room.

"Speaking of," Dakota started turning in the direction where she felt Sam's presents. "I'm starving and haven't eaten since before the plane ride."

"Ugh, D you're always hungry." Sammy whined. "With a body like this you'd think she'd be on some kind of diet right? Well, you're right it's called: I eat everything in sight."

The statement itself took the men and Leah aback for a second. Unsure why just that statement had them wondering as well they dismissed it quickly, laughing in the process.

"But, no, seriously, can I eat?"
