It was a hot August Monday morning. The sun shined it's hot rays down onto the earth, a warm breeze slightly blew now turning green Cherry blossom tree leaves, and birds flew and chirped about in the blue sky. It was really nice and peaceful...until a loud laugh was heard in the distance.

Splendid Sumner, a young blue haired young man was sprawled out on his bed. The covers were hanging off his barely clothed body, his squirrel ears twitched every so often, his pillow was on the floor, and he was snoring REALLY loudly with drool sliding down his wide open mouth. His loud snoring was greatly annoying a certain redheaded teen. Popping a vein and gritting his teeth, Splendid's older twin brother, Spencer Sumner marched up to his annoying little twin's room. Upon reaching his room, his annoyance slowly vanished at the sight before him.

Instead of shouting at his younger twin, he laughed at him, louder than his snoring which awoke Splendid with a jolt. The blue haired teen glanced around his room for the loud source in a daze through his blurry vision, he spotted his redheaded asshole older twin laughing his ass off at something. The blue half-squirrel sat up and sat on the edge of his bed while yawning and scratching his stomach. "The hell's so funny asshole?" He groggily asked.

Spencer recovered almost immediately, he stood up straight looking angry as if he hadn't laughed a few seconds ago. Splendid sweatdropped. The red half-squirrel pointed at him and simply said "You," before leaving his doorway. The bluenette blinked in confusion but shrugged it off before getting up to head to his bathroom.

"Oi! I forgot to tell you, but today's the first day of school so hurry up and get ready. You have twenty minutes," Spencer told him. Splendid paled and cursed his brother in any language he knew while grabbing his underwear and clothes. He speed walked to his personal bathroom, hearing his twin laughing at him from downstairs.

After ten minutes and only having ten more to eat breakfast and get ready, he grabbed his phone on his nightstand and headed downstairs. He saw a smiling Spencer sitting at the dining table already having breakfast. "You're really an asshole for that. I bet you weren't even gonna tell me were you?" Splendid complained while taking two pieces of bacon from Spencer's plate.

Spencer glared at him. "Just be thankful I told you anyway idiot. You have a phone, let it remind you for you."

Splendid rolled his eyes before going into the kitchen to fix himself a bowl of cereal. "Eh? Really Spencer, you ate all the Cinnamon Toast Crunch? God you freaking know I love those," the bluenette complained again. Cinnamon Toast Crunch are the shizz! Damn you Spencer!

"Oh well first come, first serve," Spencer said, shrugging.

"You freakin' suck for eating two meals for breakfast. I'm surprised you're not fat with how much you eat."

"And I love you too," Spencer said simply. Splendid returned to the table with a bowl of Fruity Pebbles instead, he glared at his twin who ate nonchalantly. After they were done eating four minutes later, they placed their dishes in the sink, grabbed their bags, put on their shoes, and opened the door.

"Alright so what school am I going to? I don't know why you left it as a surprise, I practically know anyway," Splendid said after Spencer locked their door.

The redhead face palmed at his twin's lack of intelligence. "Then why the hell did ask if you already knew idiot?"

Splendid suck his tongue out at him. He was about to fly to his destination, but was stopped by his twin. "Oi what gives?" He asked while glaring. "Wait don't tell me, it's about me not using my powers to attract unwanted attention, and blah blah blah." Spencer rolled his eyes then flicked his younger twin's forehead.

"Yes that's exactly it. I guess you can be smart sometimes, well when you wanna be. Surprised you're even in high school," he commented.

Splendid waved him off. "In case you've forgotten, you've been teaching me crap so I can go to school. Let's go already, it's freakin' hot out here."

The two walked to their high school, Happy Tree High.

During their walk, Splendid thought back on the days when he first moved here and in with his older brother. He was 14 years old at the time, and didn't know what to feel about being adopted. The feeling quickly became relief when he found out he was being taken in by his brother.

You see Splendid was in an orphanage.

When he was 5 years old and Spencer was 7 years old, their parents got into an accident resulting in their death. They were coming back from their anniversary when a storm came in, and messed up the pilot's sense of direction. Lighting struck one of the engines and the plane went down from there, killing everybody on board. The twins were heart-broken. Having to lose ones parents at a young age was very disheartening, and Splendid developed a fear of storms since then. At that time, their auntie and uncle heard the news, and was there in a flash to take them in; well sadly only one of them and it was Spencer.

Their auntie and uncle knew that Splendid wasn't a normal little boy. He possessed powers beyond that of any normal half-human so because of that, he wasn't taken in, and instead was placed into an orphanage much to both of the twins' dismay. "Don't worry, as soon as I'm old enough, I'll find a place for us to live for just the two of us," the young redhead told his brother before he left; but not without giving his little brother an encouraging smile. Splendid didn't return it.

While being in the orphanage, everyday he would cry, be anti-social, and would just ignore anyone who tried to talk to him. One day, a new kid entered the orphanage when Splendid had just turned 8 years old that day in August. The little boy had lime-green hair with bear ears matching his hair color and seafoam green eyes, his orbs had a look that the child had been through a lot, more than any of the children in the orphanage had.

His name was Fritz Kirby, he was disowned by his parents yet he had a look that said he didn't care which confused Splendid. The half-bear wore a camouflage army jacket with a black tank top underneath, and dog tags around his neck. He also wore a pair of black fingerless gloves and matching army pants with combat boots. Splendid decided not dwell on him anymore, he's not his problem.

After a few days of Fritz being there, he one day sat with the bluenette while they were outside. The day was beautiful so they were allowed to play outside for as long as they liked, but not for too long. When Splendid saw the little half-bear coming towards him, he expected to hear the typical question, "Why are you sitting here alone?" But instead was met with silence from the other when he sat on the swing next to him.

Splendid looked at him in confusion with his practically lifeless azure eyes. "Aren't you gonna ask me why I'm sitting here alone and not playing with the others?"

Fritz eyed at him, his eyes almost as lifeless as his. "Why? Do you want me to?"

He turned away and looked at the ground. "No," he replied quietly. The two boys sat in silence throughout recess until the orphanage ladies deemed six'o clock late enough.

A month had passed since the little interaction and everyday during recess, both he and Fritz would sit on the swing set in silence, enjoying each others company. Splendid smiled for the first time in what felt like a long time. Even if said smile was small, it was still something.

Six years later, Splendid was to finally be adopted, he was 14 years old. It was April when one of the orphanage ladies (Splendid still haven't remembered her name, it's a Japanese name) came up to him with a smile on her face. She had pink hair with matching rabbit ears. Thanks to Fritz, even if it was unintentional, the blue half-squirrel had been smiling more lately. He rarely talked but for him to finally show emotion was what counted, the orphanage ladies couldn't be more grateful. They gave Fritz a bag of candy which he happily accepted, no questions asked.

"I have good news for you Splendid," the pink haired half-rabbit said happily. " You are finally going to be adopted." Splendid had been turned down nearly seven times thanks to his super abilities and his dead-inside attitude. He was going to get picked up tomorrow morning and was to be ready by then.n "Not like I had anything to begin with when I first arrived here," Splendid thought bitterly. He didn't know what to feel, especially since he didn't know who was taking him in. Happy? Nervous? Sad? He hadn't a clue but the one thing he did know was that he was going to leave his first friend behind.

It was later in the day that Splendid and Fritz were still inside during recess, they were older now so they didn't participate in it anymore. Fritz was 15 years old since last year in October, and all they did was sit on the swings all day. "So you've finally been accepted and this time for good?" Fritz asked once all of the children left. He always saw the hurt look in Splendid's eyes every time he got turned down. Just because he had super powers (Which Fritz thought was really cool) didn't make him different from anyone else...well strength wise that is. Never piss Splendid off.

"Y-yeah I guess I have," Splendid replied hesitantly.

"Huh, why depressed?" Fritz asked, concerned. "I thought you would be glad to finally leave this place so what are ya thinkin' about that's holding you back?"

There was a brief pause, Splendid looked at him, azure blue meeting seafoam green. "You," he answered simply.

Fritz blinked. "Me? How?"

Splendid averted his gaze away from him, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. "Well it's just that you're the first friend I've ever made in my life and I mean it when I say that. Before my parents died...I was hated and apparently still am. I was constantly called a freak and a monster because of my inhumane strength and other abilities so I had no friends, plus I was always being bullied. I could never fight back because if I did they would get seriously hurt and no one would believe me anyway if I told a teacher, I was hated by them too." He sighed. "All I'm saying is that-"

"You don't want to abandon the only friend you've made," Fritz finished for him, a small smile on his face. Splendid blushed and nodded.

Fritz chuckled and patted his head. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine and I'm sure you will be too. We'll meet again in the future one day." He ruffled his hair, Splendid was about to ask how did he know, but the sound of the kids entering the building stopped him from doing so. The question never got to be asked.

The next day, Splendid was face to face with the person he least expected or at least that was what he was to supposed to think. His older brother. The redhead smiled at his little brother then pulled him into a hug. "I've come to take you home lil bro, and I take it you forgot the promise I made huh?" Spencer asked. Splendid cried as he hugged him back, glad to be reunited with his older twin, but felt ashamed for forgetting the promise he made.

Once they pulled apart, they both smiled at each other, Splendid wiped his face. The pink haired orphanage lady, Ms. Yamagishi (Splendid finally learned her name after many failed pronunciations) sauntered over to the two. "Hello nice to meet you, my name is Ms. Yamagishi. Before you sign the release forms, can I please get your age?" She asked Spencer politely.

"Sixteen," Spencer replied.

A look a skepticism washed over her face at his answer, she saw the look in both of the twins' eyes. She sighed then escorted Spencer to her office to fill out the release form. Once they left, Splendid sighed in relief then walked over to Fritz. He was sat on the ledge of a window with one leg propped up and both of his hands clasped together around his knee, staring out of the window.

When he noticed Splendid's presence, he turned around smiling at the blue half-squirrel, he draped both his legs off of the edge. "Are you happy now? Seeing as how your older bro the one taking you in."

Splendid blushed. "Wow what's with me blushing so much?" He scratched the back of his head. "Umm yeah."

Fritz laughed as he leaped off of the edge, he did something that made Splendid blush a deep red. Fritz kissed him on the cheek. When he pulled back, he gave Splendid a toothy grin. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. You sure can be cute sometimes."

Splendid lightly touched his cheek where he had been kissed, his lips curled into a smile shortly after. "I think...I know why I'm blushing so much now..."

It's twenty minutes later that Spencer returned, looking half-dead. "God paperwork is such a pain, but anyway ya ready to go lil bro?" He asked his younger twin.

Splendid glanced at Fritz who smiled, Splendid returned his attention back to his brother. "Yes!" He replied happily.

He grabbed his older twin's hand, and laughed at his brother's blush of embarrassment. "You aren't a baby anymore so we don't need to be holding hands," Spencer commented. Splendid glanced back at Fritz, and waved at him.

"We will meet again so don't forget about me!" The half-bear called out, waving back.

"Like I could forget you," he thought, blushing. Glad his brother didn't notice.

Splendid was snapped out of his trip down memory lane by his brother smacking him upside the head, staring ahead. "God, I miss the old Spencer," Splendid thought while glaring back and rubbing his head.

"The hell was that for? That shit hurt," he said irritably.

Spencer huffed as he crossed his arms, still staring ahead. "We're here."

Splendid directed his head towards the building in front of them. They were standing in front of the school building, the students were entering and talking among themselves, he heard someone say that they were getting a new student today and he would be in their class; thanks to his super hearing. Splendid sighed and prepared himself for his first day of school, hoping it wouldn't be too bad.

Way to jinx himself.
