I do not own The Goonies. I only own Tiffani and Lexi. I also own Katie and Chloe.
Story Start
"Quick, she's coming back downstairs," Tiffani hissed when she heard footsteps on the stairs. Mikey and Chunk look at each other nervously while everybody else tries to act cool. Lexi was not surprised to see that Brand was not paying attention to his brother and friends at all. She thought he was cute but she hoped there was more to him than just looks. He had been a bit boring so far since they had met each other.
Tiffani was twiddling her thumbs and looking between the stairs and Mikey. She thought it was cute to see how worried he was about the statue. She found the statue odd to have in your living room, but everybody has his or her own preferences for décor. She would not have it in her living room or in her house.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Walsh asked as she walked down the stairs and noticed the tense atmosphere in the room. She looked around before a frown marred her face. "Mikey, I told you guys not to leave food lying around or make a mess on the floor. Clean that up now," she said and the boys in the room besides Brand relaxed immediately.
"Sure thing, mom," Mikey said and moved to clean up the chips that were on the floor.
"I'll help," Tiffani said and moved from the couch to help Mikey clean up the mess from the floor.
"Thanks," Mikey said and she smiled at him. His face grew warm when he noticed how close they were to each other.
"You're welcome," she said and gave his shoulder a little nudge because she had noticed the blush on his face. She wanted him to quit being so nervous around her. Mrs. Walsh and Rosalita disappeared into the kitchen and Mouth kept looking back upstairs at the attic.
"Hey Mikey, I bet your dad has a bunch of cool stuff upstairs," Mouth said before smirking and running to the attic stairs.
"Guys, wait," Mikey yelled when Brand, Chunk, and Data followed Mouth. Lexi and Tiffani looked at each other curiously before following Mikey, who was chasing after his friends.
"Wow, this is amazing," Lexi said and she immediately went to the old books that she saw near her.
"Old weapons," Tiffani shouted with glee as she rushed towards some old swords and daggers that were lying in a box.
"Get those away from her," Lexi said to Brand when she saw her sister near the weapons. Her eyes were wide as she waited for her sister to challenge one of the boys to a duel, which would not end well for the boy.
"Why? They are old and rusted. She can't do any damage with them," Brand said before a crash sounded in the attic. He cringed and both of them looked over to where Tiffani was still standing.
However, now Tiffani had swung the sword at an old vase. "You stand corrected," Lexi said to Brand before she marched over to her sister and took away the old sword.
"Hey, go find your own sword. I'm fighting imaginary foes with this one," Tiffani said the first part and looked from her sister to Brand before grabbing the old sword back from her sister.
"You have a horrible mind," Lexi spluttered and her face grew hot.
"You were thinking it too," her younger sister taunted before yelping as she dodged the fist that was heading towards her arm.
"You'll pay for that later," Lexi yelled and she dreaded looking back at Brand. She did finally turn around and she was surprised to see the blush on his face as well.
"Your sister is extremely blunt," Brand said with a cough.
"You have no idea," Lexi said as she scuffed her shoe on the floor.
"Mouth, that's a priceless painting," Mikey yelled and Tiffani ran over to help Mikey move the painting away from Mouth.
"Maybe we can fix it," Tiffani suggested as she placed a hand on Mikey's shoulder to calm him down.
"You're not using duct tape," Lexi yelled as she overheard her sister.
"But I like duct tape," Tiffani yelled back before pouting.
"Thanks, but I do not think that will work for this," Mikey said as he placed his hand on top of her hand. He gave her an appreciative smile, which made her smile in return. Thunder and lightning from outside made Tiffani jump. She gave Mikey a small pout when he laughed at her for jumping.
"It's alright, it's just a thunder storm," Mikey said and he watched her jump again.
"I know, but they are just so loud," Tiffani said before clinging onto his arm.
"You'll be fine," he said to her and nudged her shoulder before the two split ways to look at the stuff in the attic some more. Lexi and Brand were looking at some of the old jewelry that was lying around the room. Some of the more shiny pieces distracted Lexi, but she was disrupted from her staring by Brand. She looked at him curiously before blushing when he placed a simple yet beautiful necklace around her neck. The necklace was a long gold chain with a gold owl with amber jewel eyes.
"Your sister told me how much you liked owls," Brand said trying not to look embarrassed.
"When did she tell him that?" Lexi wondered before smiling in thanks to him. "I love owls, thank you," she said and she was happy that the attic was dim because her blush was glowing on her face.
"Welcome," he replied before jumping a bit when his brother let out an excited yell. He looked at Lexi before he grabbed her hand and they made their way over to his brother. Lexi glanced down at their joined hands and she felt butterflies flutter in her stomach.
"What is it?" Tiffani asked as she approached Mikey and his friends as they crowded around something.
"A treasure map, One-Eyed Willie's treasure map," Mikey exclaimed as he spread out the map for everybody to see.
"It's probably just a fake, Mikey," Brand said when he and Lexi were close enough to see the map.
"Why are you such a downer?" Tiffani asked and threw a random trinket at Brand.
"I'm not," Brand said annoyed.
"Downer," Tiffani yelled before she let out a surprised noise. Mouth had grabbed her and pulled her deeper into the circle. She ended up besides Mikey, who gave her an excited smile.
"If we can find this treasure then we can save the neighborhood," Mikey said and Tiffani smiled back at him when she saw the twinkle in his eye.
"I love adventures, so count me to find that treasure," she said before feeling eyes on her back. She looked behind her to see her sister staring at her. "Please, it'll be fun," she mouthed to her older sister.
"I wouldn't let you do this alone," Lexi mouthed back before winking.
"Sweet," Tiffani said and got a weird look from some of the boys around her.
"Mikey, it's just a fake. There is not treasure," Brand said and Lexi gave him a frown.
"Everything else up here is real and he calls the map fake," Lexi thought before giving Data a thumb up when she saw him looking at her worried. She wanted him and the other boys to know that she would join this adventure with her younger sister. "I'm not missing out on the fun," she thought before rolling her eyes at Brand. "Live a little," she said to Brand as they all made their way downstairs as a group. Mikey and Tiffani were still looking at the map while walking downstairs.
"Let's sneak out," Tiffani whispered to Mikey and the other boys before they reached the first floor.
