This story has been a joint effort between my friend Cheryl and myself. We have both worked very hard on this story and we hope that you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: We do not own any of the characters off The OC, but we do own Kiera and Kendall. You can thank Josh Schwartz for everyone else.

This is a story about the Cohen's and the trials they face with raising two teenage daughters. Ryan is still living with the Cohen's and none of the things that happened with Theresa have taken place.

Chapter 1 Live a little

Kendall was banging on the double doors that lead to her twin sister Kiera's bedroom "Kiera, let me in!" she pounded on relentlessly. A little aggravated, Kiera finally made it to the door and opened it, finding her twin sister staring back at her.

"Sheesh, what is it Sis, I was TRYING to get some sleep."

Kendall shrugged "Sleep, why? The day is just beginning!" Kiera shook her head as she looked at the clock on her nightstand that read 5:00 pm and she shook her head. If anything, her sister always did know how to make her laugh.

"So what exactly may I help you with?" she asked her sister. Kendall plopped down on her sisters' bed and pulled her straight blonde hair into a makeshift ponytail.

"Well, I just heard from a friend of a friend, that there is a parteee at Holly's beach house tonight and I wanted to see when you would be ready to leave."

"Well, I heard from a friend of a friend that you failed your Western Civ. Midterm today and I think you are delusional if you think Mom and Dad are going to let you out of the house tonight." Besides, I have rehearsal tonight. I can't go." Kiera had had a long day and she was not in the mood.

"So blow it off! Mom and Dad are working late tonight anyways, so they wont even know." Kendall suggested.

"But they would know, when YOUR report card comes out and then when they show up for MY recital and I don't know my routine." Kiera argued back with her sister.

"Details, shetails. That recital is a whole 2 weeks away! Come on KK, live a little!!" She could tell he sister was starting to seriously consider joining her when the door opened.

"Girls, Dinner is here." Ryan poked his head through the door.

"Why don't you try knocking next time?" Kendall snarked at him.

Kiera stepped in front of her sister "What are we having?" she asked smiling.

"Your favorite." Ryan shyly smiled back.

"Well in that case, we will be right down." she said as Ryan nodded and shut the door. Kendall rolled her eyes and picked up a pillow and hit Kiera playfully in the stomach.

"Hellooo" She tried to regain her sisters' attention back from the door Ryan had just closed. "Hellooo, sister of mine! I believe we were in the middle of something." Kiera snapped out of it.

"I'll think about it okay? Kiera said as she turned the light out and walked out the door towards the dining room, leaving her sister in the dark. Kendall was obviously pleased with herself.

"I'll take that"

Downstairs in the Kitchen...

"Kiera why don't you sit down and eat?"

"Kendall mom and dad don't spend 4,000 dollars a year on dance lessons for nothing."

"KK your going to puke if you keep dancing while your eating."

"NO I won't!"

"Hey girls!" Seth said as he and Ryan walked into the kitchen."So what's happening in here?"

"Kiera keeps dancing around the kitchen while I am trying to eat my meal in peace!" Kendall complained

"Kiera sit down and eat with us." Ryan said.

"Alright if this will make you all get off my back!" Kiera agreed.

"DEAL!" Kendall said enthusiastically

"So what's on the agenda for tonight you 2?"

"Well Seth you see Kiera and I were just...."

"Well I have rehearsal tonight and Kendall over here has to study for her Western civ. exam retake. Right Sis?"

"You bet!" Kendall said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes at her younger sister.

"Sis you failed that? It was so easy!" Seth said as Kendall jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow.

"HELLO anybody home?" Marissa said as she and Summer walked into the kitchen.

"Hey guys," Summer said as she greeted everyone

"So are you ready to go you 2?" Marissa asked

"You bet we are!" Seth said as Summer and Marissa began to walk out, "And you 2 stay outta trouble!"

"We will Seth!" Kendall said with a smirk on her face. "Ready for some fun sis?"

"Kendall, we already talked about this. We can't go. Besides, Mom and Dad will flip. Dr. Ingram probably called them at work to tell them you failed your exam."

"So, that's all the more reason for me to have fun tonight, because I will most likely be grounded for the rest of the month!" Kendall continued to push.

"You aren't going to let this go, are you?" Kiera asked her sister as she tucked a strand of her wavy brown hair behind her ear.

"Nope, not a chance." Kendall flashed a smile.

"Fine, lets go. But you sooo owe me sis."

"That's big sister to you." Kendall joked around.

"Well, lets do this." Kiera said, half excited, but half nervous.

Kendall grabbed her sisters' arm and started pulling her up the stairs "Just as soon as we change!"
