Chapter 1: 1992
"!" five year-olds Dante and Lulu hollered.
Sighing, Laura walked into the large living room where her kids were. Dante was holding Lulu's Barbie's body in one hand and the head in the other. Lulu was standing with her foot in Dante's pile of blocks. The children glared at each other with narrowed eyes and crossed arms. They both started shouting at the same time.
"Dante pulled off my Barbie's head!" Lulu cried.
"Lulu knocked over my castle!" Dante shouted.
"Why?" Laura asked both of them.
"He took my cookie!"
"She said I was annoying!"
"Because he stole my princess crown!"
"Because she turned off the TV when I was watching Transformers!"
"But he scribbled on my picture!"
"But she-"
"Enough! Dante, Lulu, you guys need to stop fighting. You're driving your dad and me bonkers!" Laura told them.
"Sorry, mommy," said Dante and Lulu at the same time.
"Why don't you kids go watch something on TV?" Laura suggested.
"Okay," said Dante as they went over to the couch and picked up the remote.
Not five seconds later, they were bickering again.
"NO! I am NOT watching Superman!"
"Well, I'm NOT watching Tinkerbell!" Dante shouted.
Lulu stuck her tongue out at her brother.
"At least Superman has a girl in it!"
"Oh yeah? Who?"
"Lois Lane! She's Superman's girlfriend."
"Louis Lane? That's not a girl name!" Lulu insisted.
"I said Lois Lane, and it is so a girl name!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Why don't you watch a movie?"
"Cinderella!" an excited Lulu shouted.
"Monsters Inc.!" Dante wanted.
"No way! Monsters Inc. too scary!" Lulu said.
"Well, Cinderella's too girly!"
"How about Finding Nemo?" Laura offered.
Dante and Lulu looked at each other and said, "Okay."
Two hours later, the movie was over and chaos erupted again.
"Mommy? Can we go outside?" Dante asked.
"All right, just try not to bother Mrs. Duncan, okay?" Laura warned them.
Both kids grimaced at the name of their grumpy old neighbor.
"Don't worry, mommy, we would never go near her yard." Dante said, horrified of what would happen if they set foot on her yard.
As they walked outside, Lulu whispered to her brother, "I think she's a witch."
"I bet she ate Abby and Peter!" Dante said. He had always been suspicious of their neighbor's disappearance.
"Nuh-uh, they moved to Ohio! Duh!" Lulu told her brother.
"Well maybe she just told everyone that so they wouldn't know!"
"What about their parents?" Lulu asked.
"Um... she locked them up in her dungeon!"
"She doesn't have a dungeon!"
"How do you know?" Dante sneered.
Lulu scowled at her brother. Picking up a ball, she asked, "Wanna play keep-away?"
"Sure!" Dante said, snatching the ball from his sister's hands.
"Hey!" Lulu shouted running after him.
"Aahhh!" Dante yelled sprinting as fast as as he could. He turned around to see how close behind Lulu was, causing to trip over the hose and let go of the ball. It flew from his arms and landed in Mrs. Duncan's backyard.
"Oh. My. Gosh," Lulu said. "I'm not getting it!"
"No way am I getting it!" Dante declared.
"You're the one who let go of it!"
"You're the one who was chasing me!"
Lulu sighed and said, "Well, how about we get it together?"
"Okay," Dante agreed, putting his hand out.
Lulu put her hand on top of her twin's and said, "1... 2... 3... GO!"
They ran as fast as their little legs could carry them. They were just about to grab the ball when they heard footsteps on the back porch.
"GET IT!" Lulu shrieked.
"RUN!" shouted Dante.
The kids ran screaming back to their mansion. They continued screaming until they got to the living room. They grabbed a blanket and threw themselves into the oversized recliner. They threw the blanket over their heads and clung to each other desperately.
"What is going on in here?" Laura asked laughing.
Dante peeked his head out from under the blanket. "It's Mrs. Duncan!"
Lulu's head joined her brother's. "She's gonna eat us!"
Laura shook her head and said, "Mrs. Duncan is not going to eat you. She's just lonely. Why don't you guys go over and talk to her?"
"NO WAY," they said in unison.
"Mommy, you gotta hide! Or she's gonna eat you, too!" Dante told her.
"Hmm, I think I'll go hide in the kitchen while I make dinner."
"Pasta?" Lulu asked.
Dante poked her and said, "Focus, Lulu! Mrs. Duncan is gonna eat us, remember?"
"Oh yeah," Lulu said before pulling her head back under the blanket.
"Look out, mommy. She might eat you to torture us for going on her lawn," Dante said before joining his sister.
An hour later, Sonny got home from the restaurant. Looking in the living room, he smiled at he sight of his children asleep together in a chair. Aside from the fighting, he knew they would do anything for each other.
Laura walked over and wrapped an arm around her husband, who kissed her on the forehead.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say they really were twins," she said with a sigh.
