Chapter II : Back Home With A Twin
Rose POV
It has been a week since I found out that we were moving back to NYC. Mom, dad, and Krystal had packed like crazy. Today was the last day.
Both Krystal and I had said goodbye to our new friends here, and got their email's to stay in touch.
We all went into the car that was taking us to the airport. Dad sat in the front next to the driver, while mom, Krystal, and I sat in the back. I was in the middle, like always.
"So are you to excited?" Dad asked while inside the car.
Krystal squealed, "YES!"
Dad let out laugh," Great, and how about you Rose?"
I looked at him," I guess…" For some reason I wasn't as excited as I thought I'd be.
My mother gave me a sideways glance," Is something the matter?"
I shook my head," No," then let out a sigh," it's just I was getting used to this city and all."
My mother gave a reassuring smile and pulled me into a tight side embrace," I know sweetheart, but we're going back home."
"I know," I told her.
"Listen, when we get settled in, how about we all go to central park. I know how much you love it there." My dad told me.
I smiled," Sure," Why not? I love central park. It was there that I got all my inspiration for drawing. Plus I just loved sitting there, so many memories of that place, especially during winter.
"Great," Dad told me.
Within a few minutes we were driving to the airport for the long flight. I closed my eyes, as we drove off. This was the last time I'd probably be in Hong Kong.

At NYC Airport
I was exhausted as we got off from the plane. Krystal was half asleep too, since everyone had just woken up. Thank you time difference, I thought.
"We're home," My dad pulled by mother in close, as I looked around the airport.
"I guess we are," My mother said and smiled as she gave my dad a kiss on the lips.
"Come on girls," My dad pulled Krystal along, as I tiredly walked and followed my dad to pick up all our stuff.
It had taken as at least twenty minutes to get all our stuff, and then we got a cab and headed home. Since we are military, my father already had gotten a house before we came in.
While in the car, Krystal seemed fully awake. "We're finally here!"
"Well we've been here for a little bit already," I told her.
"Well yeah, I know that but now we can see the city." Krystal told me as she had her face glued to the window.
We were driving by the old neighborhood too. We passed many familiar places. We even passed by the skate park, which was a massive hang out spot during Middle School.
I let out a deep breath, and for a second I saw something that caught my eye. It was someone in a bright red jacket skating. From the looks of it he was good. However, the image was left behind fast as the car kept going.
Now my head started to hurt, and I closed my eyes. I placed my hand on my head to surpass the headache.
"Ow," I let out. My mother looked worriedly over to me, so did Krystal. This was really hurting me.
"Are you alright," Krystal asked.
"I…I'm fine," Even though it wasn't true. I felt like something was tearing my head apart.
"Rose honey," My mother's voice seemed to be full of concern. I felt a hand on the shoulder. However as the headache continued, I started to see images but they were blurry.
All I could make out was a girl in a mask with a spear. She was with a man in a mask too; both of them seem to be fighting each other. Other images flashed by with the same girl, but they went so fast, I couldn't make anything out. They all stopped after what felt like an eternity, and my headache finally subsided.
I opened my eyes to see everyone looking worried but relieved.
"What was that," Krystal asked looking at skeptically.
I shrugged," Probably just a migraine,"
"If that's the case you should lie down as soon as we get home." My dad told me.
I gave him a tight smile," No it's okay, I think it already passed."
"We can't be sure," I could tell my dad was worried but I gave him another smile.
"I'll be fine dad," He looked at me for a second but let out a sigh.
"Fine, but take some pain relievers." I nodded my head and Krystal and I resumed looking out of window. Nothing seemed to change, and I was glad.
After about another fifteen minutes of driving, we had finally gotten to our old house. Krystal quickly ran out of the car and into the house.
"Slow down," My dad yelled after her. My mother and I just let out a soft laugh, as I took in the scenery. All the same, I too quickly paced up to my room.
When I opened it, all my stuff was already back into it. Just a few more boxes and I'd be set. It was just like the old times.
Krystal came into my room," I'm so glad we're back,"
"Me too," I said and this time I think I started to mean it.
"You know what we should do?" Krystal asked a little deviously.
I raised my eyebrow," What, "
"Let's call up some of our old friends and hang out. Let's reconnect plus it is summer after all." Krystal smiled.
'I guess you're right, I mean Janice did email me that she wasn't going anywhere for summer." I told Krystal.
"Great, you hang with Janice, and I'll hang out with the girls." Krystal was beaming with excitement. I rolled my eyes.
"Have fun with the cheer squad," honestly I didn't like them. However, Krystal loves them and they treat her fairly nice.
"But guess what I heard?" Krystal asked.
"Yes," I looked at my sister. I knew she had something juicy to tell me since her eyes were shining with deviousness.
"Stacy and Brad are dating again!" She exclaimed. I almost jumped back with the suddenness of the news. After the last break up, I thought they'd never try again.
"Are you serious?" I raised my eyebrows but honestly somehow even though I surprised it's kind of expected. I always thought in the back of my head that they'd get together again. However, how did Krystal know? "Wait did you and Stacy still kept contact?"
Krystal rolled her eyes," Of course, she IS my best friend. Plus they started dating just last week right when I told her we were moving here. "
"Interesting, so I'm betting Brad knows we're back too?" I asked kind of worried.
"Well duh, "Krystal told me, "but when I told Stacey she was kind of worried. She even asked me if you were dating someone."
Now I was shocked, why would she care? Was it possible she thought I was coming back for Brad? EW!" What did you tell her?"
"Well I told her the truth, duh," Krystal said," I mean I guess she feels threatened but then again you're not even into him," Krystal said in a little resentment.
I narrowed my eyes, was it possible that Krystal may have liked him?" I get the feeling you're not telling me something?'
Krystal just laughed," Why would I be hiding anything, I have nothing to hide." Then she proceeded to leave, but before that she turned and faced me," I'm going to meet up with Staces, see yeah," With that Krystal was out of my room, and I was alone. Maybe it was time to call Janice.
But then something pulled me to my sketch book and I finally had an inspiration. I began to draw something, it was bloated and curvy 'H' and I felt like it should be a maroon shade.

Normal POV(Jake Side)
Jake, Trixie, and Spud were at Grandpa's shop relaxing for a bit from the skate park. Fu was also there on his computer on some dating site for magical talking dogs.
"Fu what are you doing?" Trixie asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing," Fu retorted.
"I don't know man," Spud said absent mindedly.
All three of them looked over at Fu's computer to see what scheme he was up to, and sure enough it was the same old, same old.
"Fu, dawg, what's up with this?" Jake asked surprised at site.
"Well Jakey, not everyone's lucky like you in the field of love," Fu said sadly.
"True, Danica and I are doing great. Too bad see's off at a swimming competition till school starts back up." Jake said dreamily.
Trix tried not to roll her eyes," She sure is dedicated."
"You know Fu, who needs women, they just gonna break your hearts. I know mine did." Spud looked down.
"Come on Spudenski," Trix slapped him across the back. "Look on the positive side."
"Ow," Spud said as he rubbed his back," there is no positive side for me. Only you and Jake, Jake's got Danica and you and KYLE Wilkins are together too."
"Come on now Spud," Jake snapped out of his trance," let's get back out to the wring, it'll make yeah feel better."
"Whatever man," Spud said as Jake, Trix, and Spud got their skateboard and headed out.
As they were riding down the, they noticed a familiar blond who drove one of them crazy. It was the back of her head too, and she was laughing with another blond.
Spud stopped dead in his tracks, but Jake and Trix were a little too slow and almost crashed into them.
"Watch it!" Stacey shouted.
"My bad,"" Jake apologized but Trixie didn't say anything.
"Oh it's you two," Stacey said, and then blond next to her turned and when Jake saw her, his mind just went blank. Even Spud and Trix were surprised.
Stacey was annoyed," What are you two gawking at," she said swaying to one of her hips.
"Ro-"Jake could barely form the words. This girl looked exactly like Rose but he knew she was in Hong Kong.
Stacey looked from Jake to the mysterious blond. And then got annoyed," Ugh, come on Krystal let's go before these losers contaminate us,"
The girl known as Krystal nodded," Alright," but she gave Jake a glance before leaving,"
Spud slowly came next to the gawking and speechless Jake and Trix.
"What in the world," Spud said to break the silence even though he was confused.
"Wasn't the Rose?" Trixie asked.
Jake shook his head, "No it can't be. Stacey called her Krystal."
"But she looks so much like Rose, they could be twins." Spud pointed out.
"This is freaky," Trixie put emphasize on the freaky.
"Trixs chill, maybe it was just another girl who looks like Rose," Spud also added, even though he was unsure.
Jake however was lost for words but maybe Spud was right," Maybe, I don't know,"
"Or it could be some magically trick, after all wizards are real, so maybe their trying to pull some sick prank on Jake to lower his spirit." Trix tried to reason.
"I don't know guys, but I know a wizard who could help us out." Jake said, and Trixie and Spud knew just who Jake was talking about. They got on their skateboard to find Nigel.
