Okay, ive cooled of enough to add another chapter. I'll try to make it better this time. Please, I don't want any more reviews saying 'the tense changes too much' or things like that. I'm trying to fix it.... Oh and if people seem out of character, im also sorry, but that's how it turned out.

I hear a chuckling from behind me and my head snaps around to see Dally, 'oh no' I think to myself, 'here comes the criticizing'

He just smirks and chuckles while looking at me. ''You ARE soft!'' He taunts,

I stand up and put my hands on my hips. "What gave you THAT idea?" I ask, even though we both knew it was true. I liked being tough with Dally, gained more respect.... If that that's possible.

''Oh just that you have twins hanging around you and you're HUGGING them and being all lovey lovey'' He rests a hand on his own hip, which is for some reason very amusing to me, but I keep it in.

"Yeah, well if you had siblings, maybe you'd have a heart too!" I retort. As much as he was a brother to me, it was fun to tease him. It wears him down to being normal, which is my goal in life... Yeah, yeah, I know. Stupid goal, but it's my goal! A smirk finds its way to my lips and I can feel the twins clinging slightly to my legs, very uneasy about the stranger in the house.

''Heh well, I gues...they...are...er...sort of alright.'' He says smiling crouching down to look at the twins. (and here starts the out-of- characterness!... lol That's not a word, is it?)

"Mat, Lynz, this is Dally.... Dally... these are my little siblings, Matthew and Lynzie" I say, sweetly to my siblings, but cockily to Dally.

Matthew's eyes grow huge and wide and look over at his twin sister and she adopts the huge-eye look, resulting in looking adorable.

Crouching down to their height, I offer a warm smile, "Dally's a nice guy. Very strange, but none the less will be nice to you two" I explain, without even consulting Dally because I knew Dally will argue otherwise.

''Well they're kinda cute...'' Dally says not wanting to say this but forces it out. He doesn't want to ruin his rep.

"You KNOW you love them already" I rag in amusement.

'Yeah. Danged cute kids makin me soft." He half complains in a tough tone, but that changes "Oh hell come here you two!''

The two, now open to this strange guy who walked in not five minutes ago, run towards Dally and hug him tight around the neck. 'Awww how sweet' I think, 'its just how they always act!'

What the twins do might be normal, but what Dally does next shocks me out of my wits. Dally picks them up with ease, hugs the two close, and for an odd second smiles and laughs! 'Somethings wrong with this picture!' my mind screams, but I smile despite my mind's nagging. (can you say 'multi- personality')

"Mat, Lynz, this guy you two are with is like another brother to me, and prolly will be for you two also" I clarify, laughing in pleasure at what I see before me. The twins both nod and continue to hug Dally who is laughing, completely letting his guard down for the moment.

I grab a camera from the table and take a picture. This is too priceless to pass up. I cant' help but say to myself aloud "Now I got some info Dally wont want reveal!" I know I'm being evil, but Dally's evil enough, its my turn.

''Hey no pictures you're gonna use then for blackmail!!'' Dally argues, setting the twins down and takes their hands.

"I can be devilish if I wanna" I retort in a childish tone that could easily match the twins'. Spending time with the twins bring the child in my heart out for all to see.

''Well then..fine!' Daly says after a few mnutes. The twins skip in a circle around him, making him laugh along with the twins who are already giggling madly.

I sit down on the couch and watch the three in amusement. The twins seem to bring the good out of everyone. They bring out the good,,,,,, but do they bring out miracles? It seems so to me.

How was this? Better? I know that I didn't give you all time between the author's note, but I was feeling guilty and wanted to put this up to say sorry. Do you reviewers (including the ones who were constructively criticizing my work) forgive me?
