"This is so unfair!" Maria Deluca whined as she walked along her brothers and towards her aunt's house, the house that was to become her prison.
"This is your fault!" Zan Deluca, Maria older and if you asked him extremely good-looking brother declared
"Why is it my fault? I wasn't the only the one that was caught doing stuff that they shouldn't be doing, I wasn't the only one that got sent to this dump!" Maria said glaring at Zan, she couldn't believe he was going to try and past all the blame on to her when he was as much to blame as she was.
"Its both of your faults. If you two weren't so wild then now of this would have happened and we would still be in LA with mom and dad instead of being stick in this stupid sandbox of a town!" Max Deluca, Zan's identical twin said still feeling pissed that he had been forced to join his delinquent siblings in Roswell NM when he hadn't done anything wrong.
"Hey just because we not boring like I don't know say you doesn't mean we are wild!" Maria said hauntingly glaring at him.
Max just rolled his eyes at her wondering if she would ever realize that her cold looks and hard words had no affect on him.
"Anyway I wouldn't call us wild I would just say that we were a little untamed." Zan said grinning at Max. Sometimes he couldn't believe that him and Max shared the same gene pool, Max was so different from him in everyway apart from looks.
"You know untamed is basically the same as wild right?" Max asked looking at his brother like he was an idiot.
"Fine we're wild at least we not bookish and boring!" Maria stated poking her tongue out him.
"Hey I am not boring and I am so not bookish. I like to have fun as much as the next guy I just don't think spending the night in a jail cell is fun!" Max said pushing the doorbell as they came to a stop at the front door.
"What can I say? Trouble is my middle name." Maria said smiling slightly at Max.
"I think it must be something in the genes cause I can't help but get into trouble!" Zan said a smirk on his face as he started to plan all the trouble he could cause here in good old Roswell, if his parents thought he was bad in LA wait until he got started here.
"Look you two mom and dad said that we could home if we behaved for aunt Amy so promise me you will be on your best behaviour cause I want to home as soon as possible." Max said looking at his brother and sister expectedly.
Maria and Zan shared a look; a look that Max knew meant one thing. Trouble was it way!
"I promise!" Maria lied her fingers crossed behind her back
"Yeah me too." Zan said his fingers also crossed.
Max sighed and wondered why he even bothered to try and talk sense into them. They always did what they wanted regardless of what he thought or said and they always managed to bring him with them into whatever trouble they found themselves in.
"I don't know why I even bother." Max said voicing his thought
"Me neither!" Zan said grinning at his younger brother.
"Do you think that she gone out?" Maria asked as she reached pass Max and pushed the doorbell again
"Who knows?" Zan said leaning up against the wall
"You know I heard that aunt Amy was dating the town's sheriff" Maria stated causing her brothers' eyes to widen in shock
"The sheriff? Great that's all we need." Max said. Today was getting better and better he thought bitterly.
"Are you sure? Aunt Amy always used to say that there was nothing worst then a cop!" Zan said looking at Maria doubtfully and running a hand through his dark brown hair.
"I don't know I am just repeating what I heard." Maria said shrugging her shoulders
"I am so bored!" Max sighed. He hated waiting around and waiting on the doorstep for his aunt to open the goddamn door was about as boring as watching grass grow.
"Join the club little bro!" Zan said
"Hey I am queen of that club!" Maria said playing with one of her soft brown curls
"You would be!"
"What's that suppose to mean?" Maria asked her green eyes flashing
"It means that you are a drama queen with the attention span of a fish!" Zan stated
"I am not a drama queen! Tell him Max that I am not a drama queen and that he is a drag queen with the attention span of a of a dead fish!" Maria said looking to Max for back up
"Drag queen? That rich coming from you! Max you tell our baby sister that she is a…"
"Hey I got an idea why don't you both stupid up?" Max said annoyed because they always fought like this and they always expected him to join sides with one or the other or for him to play peacemaker but today he couldn't be bothered with Maria or Zan, it was too god damn hot and he was stuck in Roswell with them for god knows how long.
"Maybe we should just break in!" Maria said casually
"Great idea Ria!" Zan said grinning at her, he looked at Max expecting him to start on about what a bad idea it was and that they should just wait until their aunt Amy turned up.
"I suggest that we break in through the back door." Max said and started to lead the way through to the back garden.
Maria and Zan stare after their brother in shock
"What?" Max asked turning round when he noticed that Maria and Zan weren't following him.
"Did you just suggest the back door?" Zan asked his voice filled with disbelief
"Look its too god damn hot to be outside and I am tired!" Max said
"You know I think our little Max might have a little bit of the wild child gene in him after all!" Zan said causing Maria to giggle and Max to snort with laughter
"Wild my ass! The heat must be frying his brain!" Maria laughed as they followed Max into the background
"Yeah whatever ha ha you're so funny now can just hurry up and get us inside the house!" Max said rolling his eyes and moving behind Zan and Maria letting them get to the back door so that they could do whatever they did.
"Would you like the honor?" Maria asked Zan gesturing towards the lock on the door.
"Nope you can to do it." Zan said letting Maria do it because he was too lazy
Maria got down on her knees bringing her eye level with the lock and examined it.
"You know someone should tell aunt Amy that's she got to get a better lock!" Maria said as she pulled a few hair clips from her hair and set to work on the lock.
"Yeah I'll be sure to do that!" Max said sarcastically
"I had a dog and his name was bingo!" Maria stated gleefully as the lock made a pop sound and the door
"I hate it when she does that!" Zan said walking past Maria and into the house
"I really hate it when she does that!" Max said nodding
"Hey its cute!" Maria declared following them in.
"Oh my god!" Zan and Max said coming to a complete stop in front of the living room door causing Maria to walk into their backs
"Hey what's going on?" Maria asked shoving past them
"Oh my god!" Maria said covering her eyes
"Gross!"
"So gross and so very wrong!"
"Scared! I am so scarred for life!"
"Kids! Hey I didn't expect you to arrive for a few more hours!" Amy Deluca said getting up from the floor
"Yeah I bet!" Zan said keeping his eyes shut and trying to block the image from his brain
"Um yeah well haven't you all grown and stuff. Kids I would like you to meet Jim, Jim this is Max, Zan and Maria!" Amy said smiling sheepishly at her sister's kids
"Its nice to meet you all!" Jim said a faint blush on his cheek from being caught making out on the floor of his girlfriend's living room by members of her family.
"A pleasure I am sure." Maria said her hands still covering her eyes
"You can open your eyes now!" Amy said
"We fine!" Zan said speaking for all of them
"You know why don't you three go to the Crashdown and get something to eat my treat!" Amy said reaching for her purse
"Good idea!" Maria said although she had no idea where the crashdown was.
"Um yeah. Thanks aunt Amy!" Max said opening his eyes slightly
"My pleasure here and take the car as well!" she said placing Max the car kegs and some money.
"We see ya later then!" Max said and grabbed his brother and sister and started to drag them out
"Its safe to open your eyes now!" he told them
"That was so gross. I can't believe aunt Amy and that guy were…"
"Hello trying to repress the memory here!" Maria said cutting Zan off before he could start retelling the horrible details
"Let's just go to the Crashdown!" Max said
"You know I wonder if there's going to be any hot waitresses!" Zan said
"Or waiters!" Maria added
"Not that any waiters are going to get near my little sister!" Zan stated
"I am a big girl I can decide you gets near me!"
"Maybe when you are thirty you can pick your own boyfriends but until then me and Max are going to watch your back!"
"That is so unfair Zan!"
"Life is unfair!"
"To the Crashdown!" Max muttered under his breath as Zan and Maria started to argue in the back off the car.
