Prologue

"Okay, so what do you think of it, Izzy?" Maria DeLuca asked, throwing herself down on her bed, which was also the bottom bunk of a battered bunk bed set. She propped her head up with both her hands and looked imploringly at her sister with wide green eyes.

"It's small. There's only one movie theatre and it only has three screens. The shopping mall is a quarter of the one back in New York," Isabel said. "I don't think I even saw a bus station!"

"The beach looks really nice though," Tess piped up, grinning at Maria. "We'll have to check it out tomorrow. Scout for some guys. You know." Tess winked and collapsed on her bed in a fit of giggles.

Isabel rolled her eyes at Tess. "Dad said that there's only one high school. Can you believe that? Everyone must know everyone else here."

"One high school?" Maria wrinkled her nose. "That means if we make a bad impression and no one likes us, we still have to stay there, because there's nowhere else to go."

"That's stupid, Ria," Isabel told her. "Everyone will like us. I mean what's not to like?" Isabel waved her hands around and gestured to her clothes and hair. "I mean, I look great. You look great. Tess looks great. Everyone will love us."

Tess, recovered from her giggle fit, looked up blonde curls a mess and said, "Everyone will love me."

Enraged (It didn't take hardly anything to get Maria mad), Maria leapt onto Tess's bed and poked a finger under her ribs. Tess screeched and tried to wiggle away. But Maria was the master tickler and wouldn't let Tess get away.

"Izzy! Help me!" Tess yelled between giggles. Isabel jumped onto the bed to help her sister. She reached for Maria's midriff and tickled her stomach. Maria yelled, and let go of Tess. Tess jumped right back in though, and started tickling Maria's feet, almost getting kicked in the face as Maria tried to get away.

Suddenly, there was a huge crash from the other side of the room, and all three girls looked up to see a picture that had been hanging on the wall had fallen on the floor and smashed.

"It wasn't me!" Maria exclaimed quickly. She detangled herself and walked over to investigate.

"Well it wasn't me," Isabel said, sitting up and reaching to fix her hair.

Tess looked at them both. "It wasn't me either! You guys know how careful I am!" She walked over to Maria. "Maybe it just fell, you know. We were really moving and the bed might have hit the wall and travelled down it and made the picture fall. You know."

Isabel only laughed and shook her head. "It was one of us. Couldn't you feel it?"

"I guess so," Tess admitted. "Well it definitely wasn't me."

"And it wasn't me," Isabel told Tess. "Then there's only one person it could have been."

Isabel and Tess both turned around to see Maria creeping out the door of their bedroom. She was almost all the way out when Tess shouted, "Maria!"

Maria turned guiltily around and made a face. "What? I didn't mean to do it. My hands were waving around and it just happened. Sorry." By the end she was yelling.

"Well you can't let it 'just happen'. No one knows about us here and I for one want it to stay like that, okay?" Isabel snapped.

"Well you can't tell me what to do Izzy!" Maria yelled. "I could just go into town and start waving my hands around if I wanted to!"

"Guys, calm down," Tess said, stepping between the two blondes. "We're all on edge today, I know. We just moved to a whole new town where we don't know anybody, okay? But can you guys just calm down? Please? I don't want the neighbours to hear us yelling."

Maria, while glaring at Isabel, knew the neighbours wouldn't hear. There were no apartment buildings in Roswell Beach, and the nearest building to their house was the house across the street. Their father had bought a tiny house, basically right in the middle of nowhere as Isabel had put it. Really, it was on the outskirts of town.

"Okay," Maria said, mostly just so they could get out of the house. Dusk was approaching, and Maria wanted to head down to the beach. "Sorry Iz."

"Sorry Ria. I just want to fit in here," Isabel said, coming over to Maria and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"I know you do," Maria said. "C'mon let's head down to the beach. See if we can meet anyone. It'll be fun!"

As normal, Maria had gone from a downright grumpy mood, to an excited childish one. And as usual, Isabel and Maria were fighting one minute and hugging the next. Tess didn't really understand it, but she guessed it had something to do with Isabel being born first and Maria being born last. They were always doing something together.

"Okay," Tess agreed, happy that it had been a short fight. She wrapped an arm around Maria's other shoulder, and the three left the room.

"Wait guys. We should clean up the picture before dad gets back," Isabel said. She turned around to face the room and waved her hand in the direction of the broken picture. It magically glued itself together and sprung back to its place on the wall.

"Very nice," Maria complemented. Then she took a look at herself and her sisters. "We are so not dressed for the beach girls."

Maria waved her hand at herself and she was suddenly dressed in a black bikini and a knee-length black sarong with silver stars. On her feet were silver and black flip-flops. Maria's shoulder blade-length blonde hair was twisted into a French twist.

Tess waved a hand over herself and suddenly she was wearing a baby blue bikini under white jean shorts. Tess wore white sneakers on her feet and her shoulder length blonde hair was tied back in a curly ponytail on top of her head.

Isabel spun around and when she faced her sisters again, she wore a red bikini and an ankle length flowered skirt, tied at her hip. Isabel wore strappy red sandals and her long honey blonde hair was left hanging down her back.

"We look so hot," Tess said excitedly. She slipped her arms through Isabel and Maria's. "Let's hit the beach!"
