Nope, don't own PJO. Espie and Tulio belong to me though.
Two: Tangled Lion King
Esperanza got to the remote first and flicked the TV on. Tulio cried out, "Wanna watch Lion King!"
Espie clicked the remote and Tangled came on. She squealed and settled down into the sofa cushion. Tulio cried again, "Lion King better!"
"Tang-ed better!" Espie shot her brother a raspberry.
Tulio shot it back. He glanced back over to where their Papi was drying the dishes. He loved their Papi and didn't like making him angry, so Tulio sat and watched Tang-ed.
For ten minutes.
Then Tulio's ADHD got the better of him. He got up and wandered around. He liked exploring, but their home was only so big. He glanced over at the door to the shop. The shop was big! So many cool things to see and play with! Tulio trotted towards the door in a sneaky way, humming his own personal theme song. He was gonna sneak into the shop and play with one of the bits of scrap his Papi had lying around. But, of course, Espie ratted him out right away:
"You not a'sposed to go there, Tui!"
Tulio shot his sister a glare and glanced over towards the stairs. Their Papi had gone upstairs to change and get ready for work. Footsteps echoed on the steps and Leo appeared in a grubby white tee with jean overalls and work boots. He was just clicking on his tool belt when he saw Tulio standing near the door to the shop. He frowned.
"Tulio…" he began. "What did Papi say about going into the shop alone?"
Tulio shuffled his feet. "No do?"
"Right." Leo walked over and ruffled his son's curly hair. "Oh, well…C'mon. You guys can come in 'til work starts."
Tulio beamed and followed his Papi into the shop. Espie shut off the TV and followed shouting, "Wait for me!"
A/N: Ha, another fluff chapter! Just getting to know the twins a bit before stuff happens. So that was pretty much the shortest chapter of the story. Does this even count as a chapter? :P More of a filler sidebar, really...
