Sage's hands dug into the soft Earth. He had no gloves or shovel because, well, someone else has them. Sage turned and looked around. Why did they have to do this again? Oh yeah, because it's Earth Day. Sage looked at his hands which were now covered in dirt with dirt under his finger nails.

He planted the seeds he was working on. His dark hair made his head a bit more hotter. It was a blazing hot April day. He brushed some of it behind his ear. Next to him, his sister Rue was planting her seeds. She gave her twin a small smile, he returned it.

Their green eyes met. Sage looked away first, right now, almost all of the 8th grade was out in a park planting. He wiped his hands on his pants, getting a disapproving look from his much neater sister. "What? You knew I was going to do it," he told her. She rolled her eyes, silent like always.

"You know silence is a killer." He told her. She rolled her eyes again. He sighed, "Rueeeeeeeee," he said in a sing song voice, she looked at him. "I'm going to touch your face!" He jumped at his smaller twin. "Whoa!" She yelled as her brother tackled her. They tumbled around, Rue was trying not to get dirty but was failing due to her brother. "Ha, I win!" Sage yelled, Rue glared at him.

"Ms and Mr. Everdeen, this is not time to play." Rotwood's German accented voice said from behind them. Both of them rolled their eyes as he walked away. Sage looked at his sister, she now had leaves and some parts of branches in her hair which was tied up and her green shirt had smudges of dirt, her pants didn't count because they were already dirty.

He laughed, she even smiled slightly. "Aw man!" Sage heard Jake groaned from somewhere. "Jakey, what did you do this time?" He asked him. "I ran my hand through my hair and got dirt all in it," Jake said, he then looked at Rue who had the 'Just look at me' face on. "At least I'm not that bad." He couldn't help but smirk a bit.

Rue rolled her eyes. "I did that!" Sage confessed happyliy. His sister sighed at him. "It is not funny Sage," she said softly. "Of course it isn't, it's freakin' awesome!" He shouted. His sister shot a green glare his way.

He smiled a cheesy smile. "You two are the weirdest twins I've ever met. And I met the Oracle twins." Trixie said from behind them a couple feet away. "Because we're awesome." Sage said once again. "I swear awesome is your favorite word," his sister muttered from next to him.

Sage looked at Spud, who was planting a potato. "Uhh, Spud, a potato isn't a seed." Sage told him, he sometimes wondered that he was a genius, but then again he hides it. "Really? But I like planting it like this." Spud said, "Still, we're supposed to be planting trees." He told him. "Spudisnki, boy, plant that tree." Trixie told him, shooting Spud a look.

Sage shook his head, Trixie could get anyone to do anything. "Why do we have to do this?" He heard Jake groan. "Because we're supposedly helping the Earth." Rue answered him, taking Sage's answer. "You stole my answer!" Sage pointed a accusing finger at his sister, who sighed. "Sage, we're twins, we share the same thoughts at times." She told him softly. "Erroneous!" He yelled.

She sighed again. "Don't you sigh," she said as the same time as Sage. "Don't talk at the same time as me!" They once again said in unison. "Stop it!" They both yelled, "Seriously!" They yelled together again. It was kinda of amusing seeing the two argue. They both huffed, but Rue had a glint in her eyes.

"You two are seriously weird." Trixie muttered, they both smiled. "Have you noticed that the British magician is not around lately? Usually he'll be bugging poor Rue." Jake noted. Sage instantly hugged his sister, who, once again sighed. "And he ain't doing it no more!" He shouted, "Watch out, we have a big brother by 5 minutes about to explode." Spud backed away a bit, "Whoa, chill out Sage. So what if Nigel has a little crush on your sister." Trixie told him. "Never in a million years is she going out with that wizard!" Sage shouted.

Rue gave Jake a look that said, 'Why did you bring him up?' He only smiled. She glared at him. She was still being tightly hugged by her brother. "I think your suffocating her." Spud pointed out, it was true. Sage was hugging the poor girl to death.

He let go of his sister, "Sorry." Rue took in breaths of air. Finally, all students were packed into buses. "I can't wait to take a shower." Sage complained. Rue nodded in agreement. "did you have to get me dirt?" She asked him, "Yup." He answered causing her to sigh.

"Hey, at least you don't have to train today." He told her, she nodded in agreement. Sage felt his sister lean on his shoulder. "Woof," he said. "Woof," she said back. "I call shower first," she told him. "No fair!" He shouted, "It is to fair." She replied coolly. "Fine," he pouted causing her sister to smile.

The two got home bathed and stuff. They relaxed for the rest of night.
