"Okay," Chat gave the girls a friendly grin, "Who's gonna tell me where you live?"
And without a moment's hesitation, the girls pounced on the superhero with enough force to send them all hurling to the ground. Chat couldn't help the chuckles escaping him. Even when the breath was almost knocked out of him.
"I will!" they cried, giggling madly in union.
The girls, he noticed, were identical twins. The only difference he could tell so far was by their clothes! One wore pink, and she had teal stud earrings. The next twin wore matching teal pajamas, and her earrings were pink studs. Even their voices sounded identical!
Chat gently pulled the pink clothed twin away from his chest and onto a folded leg, while the teal clothed twin remained sitting on the outstretched. The boy sat up, allowing the twins to continue their giggles. Yet, his grin remained on his face.
"And what are your names, little ladies?" Chat tilted his head to the side.
They sent a look to each other before exclaiming, "I'm Ella/Etta!"
Chat blinked twice, and leaned forward to be at their eye level, "What was that? I didn't get…"
They giggled again, before crying out that they were Ella and Etta Césaire, not even allowing Chat to recognize the difference. However, there was one thing that Chat recognized.
The boy stiffened his leg when the teal twin climbed next her sister, "Césaire? You don't happen to have an older sister called Alya… do you?"
By their dazzling grins, Chat knew the answer, "Yes! Alya is our big sister! She's the best!"
Chat smiled at the girls, and made a quick scoop that had one each in a separate arm before he stood, "Good. Now I know where you girls live."
He turned around, "I'll get you girls home in a…"
One second ago, he had two children in his arms. Now, he could see them leaping across the street and jumping around an orange road cone. How could they even move that fast?
"Girls?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"
And when one road cone went flying into the sky due to a well placed kick, Chat walked up to them and asked them the same question. But he kept a good eye out before they decided to throw the cone at him again. It wasn't light, but these girls seemed to retain their super strength when they lifted separate cones.
They turned to him and placed their faces into the cones, "IT'S NOT US! IT'S THE SAPOTIS!"
"Huh?" he pulled back, and pointed to their cones, "But I can see you right there!"
They shook their heads again, giggles making their words almost incoherent. Chat shook his head with a fond smile, and he stooped to pick up a fallen cone.
"Time to go home!" he made his voice be broadcasted to the girls.
"But we're bored!" they complained in harmony.
Chat dropped his cone to a stand, and he brought his hand to his chin.
"Then let's play a little game!" Chat suggested, and when he glanced up at the skies, a little idea fluttered into his mind.
He gestured to the cloud above with his cone, "Try cloud- watching. Look at the clouds and imagine what they look like."
It worked, and not even a full minute later did they shout their answer.
"That cloud looks like an ice cream cone!"
Chat raised his head just long enough to glimpse the fluffy image of a two scoop ice cream cone. And if you squinted, you could even see a tiny cherry at the top.
"I could really go for some ice cream now…" Chat murmured.
But his words did not fall upon deaf ears, they fell upon two pairs of sensitive ears that could not un-hear his words. Sensitive ears that would not let go of that little delicious statement…
