Chapter 2 2nd birthday party

This is a re-edited chapter

It was Zatch and Zeno's second birthday party. Since they were Mamodo they knew how to speak and walk properly (well almost). The Mother of the two was able to retain custody if the twins for two years, but Mr. Bell were hard at training trying to regain some of his powers for he could take the twins back by force.

Zatch brought two of his friends to the party and Zeno did the same. With the custody battle looming over the mother's head she didn't want to bring many people to the party, considering Mr. Bell could crash it at any moment.

"Mother I brought over Tia and Kanchomé" A blond haired boy said and ran up to his Mother.

The blond haired boy was the child that had a tan skin. He had 1 line running down each eye to his chin. His eyes were Light Orange.

"I got Sugino and Ponygon" A silver haired boy said and ran up to her as well.

The silver haired boy had purple eyes, and his skin was pale. He had 2 lines running down each eye to his chin.

"Very good you two" She brought the twins into a hug. "Now go play I will set up the games and presents" The mother got up and set everything up.

The party was in the backyard of the king's castle, the mother could say no to the father but not the entire royal guard army so they were forced to live in the castle.

The Backyard was the size of 3 football stadiums combined, with trees and beautifully cut bushes were placed in a grid like pattern. The Bushes resembled what a spell would normally look like. From spells from Lightning, to a thorny rose bush that looked like it was ready to attack from the ground up.

"Zeno you want to play tag or hide-and-seek" Zatch said playfully

"Umm hide and seek, but let's have partners instead" Zeno stated wanting to try something new from tag. The Twins usually played tag all the time in the castle by themselves for the most part. Throughout the two years the twins had become inseparable.

"Ok then it will be me and Zeno, Sugino and Ponygon, and then Tia and Kanchomé" Zatch said thinking that he and Zeno had the advantage.

"That's not fair you two why do I have to be paired up with Kanchomé" Tia said pouting. "I would be better off by myself" Tia said trying to make her point, Kanchomé whimpered a little after hearing that.

"That's not true Tia, Kanchomé is great at hide and go seek, just give him a chance" Zatch said trying to help Kanchomé out.

Those words seemed to heighten Kanchomé's spirit's slightly.

"Fine I will give him a chance" Tia said still pouting

"Fine but since you're the birthday boys you're it" Sugino said with grin across his face.

"Yeah great idea" the four kids said, the twin weren't happy about it and didn't understand the logic behind their idea.

Ponygon just said "meru meru mey", like he was agreeing with the idea.

"Fine but were still going to win right Zatch" Zeno said putting an arm around his brother.

"Unu we know the castle like the back of our hands" Zatch said ready to play.

"Then why is it I heard you got lost huh Zatch?" Tia said teasing Zatch.

Zatch remembered getting lost in the backyard, and he had to resort to casting a lightning spell into the sky, for someone would go help and find him.

"That was a month ago" Zatch retorted, while being slightly embarrassed.

"Oh so you did get lost" Tia said in a triumphant voice.

(She fooled him) Zeno thought.

"Enough let's play, 1, 2, 3, 4" Zeno and Zatch turned their head and covered their eyes to a tree. "5…6, umm Zatch what comes after 6?" Zeno only being two years old couldn't count very far.

The four kids that had to hide quickly ran away as fast as they could.

"Umm 10 then 22" Zatch said counting.

"Oh that's right 35, 27, 18, 27, 20, ready or not here I come" Zeno shouted.

"Zeno you go that way I will go this way" Zatch said pointing his fingers

Zatch and Zeno then dashed in opposite directions, in order to find their prey.

Zatch and Zeno had a huge place to search since the backyard was huge. They went searching in trees and bushes. 5 minutes later Zeno found Ponygon running for the safe spot.

"Zatch" Zeno shouted

Zatch, already being closer to safe had a better chance at catching Ponygon.

"I got him" Zatch said running after Ponygon. Zatch was able to get Ponygon right before he touched safe.

Zeno then found Sugino in a tree. "I got you" Zeno told Sugino while climbing the tree.

The tree was about 40 feet tall, and Sugino was at the top of it.

"Juron" Sugino shouted and a root came from below the tree and made Sugino a slide to get down.

"Hey that isn't fair" Zeno yelled, he was halfway up the tree, and he decided to jump off. "Zaker" the lightning came out of his hand which struck the ground, and Zeno used the slight explosion to soften his landing. "Zatch help me out" Zeno shouted then seen that he was chasing Tia out of the bushes. Zeno then went to chase Sugino by himself.

"Juron" Sugino used a root to lift himself off the ground and with a snake like motion the root went on going to safe with Sugino riding it. "Stop cheating already" Zeno shouted pointing his hand at the root. "Zaker" Zeno shouted destroying the root that pushed Sugino along.

Sugino dropped to the floor but landed on his feet and began running, only to be caught by Zeno a second later. Zatch caught Tia at around the same time.

Zatch and Zeno regrouped and looked around, trying to see what they had forgotten.

"Zatch I think we are forgetting someone but who" Zeno said racking his brain on who he was forgetting.

"Kanchomé where is he, did he use Poruk?" Zatch shouted looking for anything out of the ordinary.

Zatch knew that Kanchomé didn't have a full grasp of his first spell, and that something would always be off when he tried copying it.

"I'm right here" Kanchomé shouted touching the safe.

It turned out that Kanchomé had used Poruk, and copied the look of the ground, in order to pass through Zeno and Zatch.

"Cheater" the twins said at the same time.

"Ok kids the party is ready" the Mother shouted. The party area had every game you could think of at a kid's party. Zatch and Zeno and their friends played all the games some of which Ponygon couldn't play, it all took about 2 hours. "Now it's time for the cake" The mother said bringing out a huge cake enough to feed 20 humans, but between 6 mamodo kids it was just enough.

The twins were side by side next to their cake, with their friends behind them.

"Now make a wish you two" the Mother said, the twins then blew out four candles making their wish and keeping it between themselves.

The Mother then cut the cake, and gave out 6 slices to the 6 children.

"What did you wish for Zeno?" Zatch asked while eating cake.

"If I tell you then it won't come true now will it" Zeno responded also eating his cake.

Authors note: If you're wondering why I have Sugino as Zeno friend, actually his best friend is because Zeno and Sugino basically have the same personality, them going at each other was just friendly rivalry.
