Present day…
In the land of Goodville, the sun was beginning to rise and all was quiet in the Magics house until…
RIIING! RIIING! RIIING!
SLAM!
Sonic Magic groaned after turning off the alarm then he stretched, cracking his knuckles before getting off the middle bunk.
"Oh~ What a rough night of sleeping!" he yawned and rubbed his eyes, stretching as he turned to the alarm clock he just shut off.
6:00 AM. Perfect.
He turned to the other bunks and smiled.
His older triplet brother Maurice Magic was still asleep, snoring softly as he slept on his back. His younger triplet brother Ogilvie Magic was also fast asleep, cuddling his blanket as he smiled in his dreams.
"Man, they're gonna kill me if I ever wake them up…" Sonic muttered under his breath, giggling before walking over to the nearby window.
It was covered with a curtain so he had to take the sheets and pull them aside. Sunlight came through the glass, illuminating the bedroom with it's light.
Maurice reacted with a groan, grabbing and placing his pillow on top of his head before turning over to lay on his stomach. "Ugh, five more minutes…"
"Yeah…" Ogilvie pulled the blanket on top of him to shield his eyes from the bright light that invaded the room. "It's still so early…"
"Fine." Sonic sighed and shook his head. "You two lazy bones can stay here and sleep your asses off while I hog the shower,"
He grabbed his towel then sped out the door. He stopped in front of the bathroom and entered, shutting and locking the door behind him then he hung his towel and filled the bathtub with water.
Once it was nearly full, he stretched and took off his pajamas then he slowly entered himself inside the water. His legs sparkled with light and magic as he did before they fused to turn into an actual mermaid tail once he was completely soaked.
Unlike mermaids, however, his tail was quite different. His tail was aqua blue while his fins were sapphire blue. The tips of his fins were sharp and pointy while spiky fins poked at the back of his tail and replaced his back quill.
He gave a sigh, leaning against the tub with his back to relax as soaked himself more.
"Ah…~" he sighed and smiled. "Much better…~"
With that, he began to sing a note or two, his melodic voice vibrating across the bathroom as bubbles magically floated up from the tub because of the spell.
"~Rub-a-dub-dub
Scrub, scrub, scrub
Bubbles floating
Up from the tub~"
Streaks of gold floated from his mouth, spiraling around the place and out the door as he continued to sing.
"~Can you hear me?
Hear my song
Listen closely
Sing along~
"~When you hear me,
And I know you'll hear me,
You'll swim with me
And splash with me~
"~Rub-a-dub-dub
Bubbles up top
Swim along with me
You can't get enough~"
Surely enough, his triplet brothers heard his song and their eyes flashed full-on emerald green, sitting up from their beds before they grabbed their towels and walked to the bathroom.
Sonic heard their footsteps and grinned, pausing the song and snapping his brothers into reality.
From outside, Maurice groaned and slammed his fist against the door.
"I know you fucking did that on purpose, Nic!" he yelled grumpily.
"I know!~" Sonic playfully stuck out his tongue. "It's boring to wake up while you guys sleep!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Maurice, stop banging on the door!" Ogilvie scolded his older triplet brother. "Do you want the neighbors to hear us?!"
"Not my fault Sonic's making me mad early in the morning!"
"Well, stop being mad! Your crystallizing the door, goddamn it!"
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCKED-UP DAMN, BITCH!"
Sonic giggled quietly, lowering himself down so only his head stuck out of the water and the rub as he listened to his triplet brothers' bickering.
"Man, once they're finished, it'll be the end of me…" he whispered to himself, giggling more at the end of his sentence. "Oh well, could be worse…"
BOOM!
Sonic peeped part of his bare torso up to see the door burnt, with Ogilvie and Maurice staring shocked outside, their eyes wider than saucers.
"Oops…" Ogilvie gulped, hiding his flaming hands. "That was an accident! Promise!"
"Yeah…" Maurice bit his bottom lip and scratched his quills. "Well, we better clean this up before Mommy Aleena finds out…"
"Agreed." Sonic nodded and motioned the two inside. "Get in here first!"
The two obliged quickly then once they were inside, the triplets' hands glowed sky blue, dark grey, and yellow orange.
"Reverso!" they chanted and the whole bathroom sparkled before the mess was cleaned up.
"There! That's better!" Sonic sighed in relief, leaning back with his tail up.
"Yeah, phew!" Ogilvie collapsed in pure relief, sitting on the lid of the toilet. "If Mommy Aleena and our older siblings ever found that we're using forbidden evil magic, we're never gonna hear the end of it!"
"Nic started it!" Maurice growled as he leaned against the wall with his arms folded. "He used Siren Magic first!"
"I wanted to get you guys up to see Sonia leave for work!" Sonic argued with a frown. "I didn't FORCE you to use Sorcerer's Crystal Magic!"
"Okay, okay," Ogilvie came in between them. "Calm down, you two. This is ALL of our faults, okay? Sonic, you used Siren Magic, Maurice, you used Sorcerer's Crystal Magic, and I used Fire Dragon Magic but at the end, we ALL used Sorcerer Magic to fix the bathroom so we ALL broke the rule against using forbidden evil magic. No more blaming! Is that clear?"
Sonic and Maurice blinked at him then exchanged glances before shrugging. "Sure, why not?"
"Good." Ogilvie sighed. "Now, let's get ourselves cleaned up for school, shall we?"
X
"Triplets, breakfast!"
"Coming, Mommy Aleena!"
The triplets finished dressing up then they ran downstairs to see their older brother Manic Magic already at the table, eating Flying Pancakes with Enchanted Maple Syrup as he waved over at the three.
Their birth mother Aleena Magic was in the kitchen, washing the dishes of their older sister, who left a couple of minutes ago to go to work.
"Everything smells SO delicious!" Sonic grinned as he rushed to the table and sat down on his seat.
"Slow down, Nic," Maurice groaned as he and Ogilvie walked to their seats. "The pancakes might fly but you don't have to, you know?"
"Now, now, boys," Aleena came to them sternly. "Don't you argue at the table."
"Yeah, guys," Ogilvie sighed and shook his head at his older triplet brothers. "Can't you two go one day without causing a fight, Ric?"
"WhAt DoEs ThAt SuPpOsE tO mEaN?!" Maurice's eyes was turning full-on purplish-pink.
"Maurice, settle down!" Aleena snapped, slamming her fist on the table and causing the teens to freeze in shock.
Maurice gave his little brother a glare as his eyes turned back to jade green. He folded his arms and began to eat angrily as Ogilvie looked down, guilty. Sonic and Manic turned to their birth mother, afraid of what she might do as Aleena rubbed her temples to ease her temper.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she quickly apologized. "I know I shouldn't have snapped but next time, Maurice, don't let your temper let out your forbidden powers and Ogilvie, please don't trigger your brother again. If anyone saw what happened, will be gossiped and evicted in seconds!"
"But, Mommy Aleena, you're the princess," Manic pointed out, confused. "How can you be evicted by Uncle Chuck when you're his sister?"
"He would have no choice because the people would make the decision and rebel," Aleena sighed, sitting down. "so we need to keep our family low. We can't let anyone else know that you're both good-blooded and evil-blooded. It would be the end of us! So please, all of you, do not anger each other or upset each other so we won't attract attention. Understood?"
"But, Mommy Aleena, our friends know about our history and accept us just the way we are," Sonic told her.
"But not all are like our friends, Nic," Maurice explained with a shrug. "Most purely hate the evil monsters while others fear them,"
"Even if they've never met them?" Ogilvie tilted his head.
"Yes, Ogilvie," Aleena nodded. "Most just don't understand how the evil creatures work. They fear learning new things about them ever since Terror Hex's betrayal on our ancestor Nicholas Magic,"
"Well, okay, Mommy Aleena," Sonic finished his food and pushed his plate away. "We'll be more careful. We promise!"
"Very good." Aleena smiled at the enthusiasm of her second youngest son. "Now, all of you, finish up your food and get your familiars from the hut. You need to be on your way to school. Go on!"
