Super Saiyan Destiny Chapter 3: Siblings… can't live with them, can't stand them.
Story by Eric Lentz aka Aero Tendo

(Earth – Texas)

Max was sitting in his room having been grounded for a week because of his fighting with Racer and listening to some music from a music group that was becoming quite popular called the Rainbow Six, which was a group of three boys and three girls. He was listening to their latest number one hit titled, "Tail of The Cat Woman" and he lifted up the holo-cover and it showed the six of them all on the cover dancing around to the song that he was listening to.

Max thought to himself, "Gee… I wonder how they came up with this song" in a sarcastic tone which reflected his sour mood as he saw how one of the girls in the group was a cat-girl and that her tail seemed to be very prominent in the holo-pictures that moved around during the dancing.

A knock on his door interrupted any further thoughts and he yelled out loud, "I'm here Ma!" The door opened to reveal not his mother but his twin sister and she said, "Well, I'm not Ma, but I'm sure she'll be glad you're not trying to sneak out."

Max lowered his eyelids in a disinterested look and said in a flat tone, "Oh… it is you, Benedict Arnold." and turned away from her in his chair.

Maxine stood in the doorway as she looked at the back of his chair, seeing him and saying, "How long are you going to be mad at me for?" She has eyes that say how sorry she is but they also tell of how worried she was for her twin brother and so she says, "Aren't you going to talk to me?" when all she gets is silence.

Max grumbled softly but loud enough for her to hear, "I don't talk to traitors…" and then he turned up the volume to the music, hoping to drown her out.

Maxine just stares in his direction for a few moments before she walks over and spins his chair around so that he's facing her. She pushes a button, which turns off the music so that he can't drown her out anymore and says, "Look! I wasn't the one who had to go and pick a fight with someone!"

Max stares angrily at his twin and says, "You shouldn't have been kissing him!" while he tries to turn on his music again but is blocked by her hands covering the buttons.

Maxine says, "Look, I know you're my twin but you don't have to protect me from every boy I like!" She then grabs the music away from him and says, "I don't NEED you to scare off every guy that I like or likes me, because if you do I'll never get a date!"

Max growls, "Well I know what all guys our age are thinking when they look at you! Believe me, that isn't something that I can stomach!" and stands up from his chair.

Maxine stares angrily at him and then says, "Ohhhh! Why do you have to be so annoying? Why can't you understand that I want to be able to see the boys I like, no matter WHAT you might think they have on their minds!"

Max looks at his sister and says, "Because I don't want anyone touching my baby sister!" He walks around the room some, in thought but mostly staring at her. "You're my twin sister and I'm your older brother! It is my duty to protect you!"

Maxine glowers at her older brother for a few moments before she says, "I never asked you to! And I'd appreciate if you would stop!" before she storms out of the room.

Max looks after her and walks over to the door to slam it shut to hard that small cracks appear in the wall. He mumbles, "Girls, I'll never understand them." And walks back to his chair to start the music again.

(Racer's Room)

Racer was sitting is his room, pouting a little as he thought it was unfair that he got into so much trouble over something that wasn't even his fault! His clothes glowed some as his emotions made his energies rise but he still didn't have lot left after his battle with Max over what his sister did.

He turns on the TV and idly starts to flip through the 1000+ channels in hopes of finding something that would help him forget what had happened. It wasn't until he came to a news channel that something caught his interest.

Racer is leaning forward he turned up the volume while the news announcer reports about a base that nearly wiped out by a falling object but that it wasn't believed to be an attack. He frowns as he listens and wonders why the defense systems or someone just shoot down whatever was if it was a falling object?

Racer leans back as he continues to listen to the news report about it and whistles when he sees the pictures of the base and realizes that with such destruction there probably was no time for anything or anyone to blast whatever hit them.

Racer was so intent on listening to the news that he failed to hear his sister come into the room.

Aileen saw that he was watching some boring news thing on TV and she wasn't happy that he was ignoring her so she grinned as an idea came to her. She started to sing, "Racer and Maxine… Sitting in a tree… K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

Racer snapped out of his thoughts and blushed as he realized what his sister was singing and turned towards her. He got up and grabbed his pillow from his bed and tossed it at her as he yelled, "Stop that Aileen!"

Aileen laughed and ran out of the room but not before she got in one last "Racer and Maxine Kissing in a tree!"

Racer plopped onto his bed and fumed about his sister's teasing. After all it was not his fault that he got kissed! He got up and shut the door to his room before turning to lay his back against it as he recalled the kiss.

Racer was remembering how nice it felt to have her soft lips against his and feeling more than a bit shocked when he felt her warm tongue press against his lips, trying to push it's way into his mouth. He snapped out of his reverie when he heard a knock against the door.

He thought it was his sister and that she was back to tease him some more until he heard his father's voice say, "Racer, It is me. Can I come in?"

Racer didn't want to get into any more trouble so he backed away from the door and said, "Yes, come on in!" and then opened the door to reveal just his father standing in the doorway with his sister in her room across the hall and looking like she was enjoying his troubles.

Fortunately his father saw his son's face and without even looking he said a little louder than his normal voice, "I'm sure Aileen doesn't want to get grounded and unable to go anywhere she likes for a week if I catch her bothering her older brother." The response was a quick shutting of her door and a knowing smile on his father's face, which was joined by a relieved smile on his own.

His father comes into the room and picks up the pillow that was laying upon the floor before walking over to the bed and placing it there. "You know your sister's only going to keep teasing you as long as you're bothered by it, don't you Racer?"

Racer squirms and says, "Yes, I know… but it wasn't my fault! And now I'm probably grounded for it too."

His father smiles and shakes his head, "Your Mother and I have discussed things. We think that you've been through enough and with your sister's teasing and everything else. Well, your only punishment is to do all the dishes for the weekend. Provided that you don't let yourself get tricked like that by Maxine again." And with that last part, he smiles and reaches out to ruffle his son's hair.

Racer laughs and tries to duck his head out from under his father's hand after a second of it before saying, "Yeah, I won't let her trick me again like that." Before he finally gets his head out from under his hand.

Racer's father grins and says, "There'll be plenty of time and girls for you to be kissing later on in your life Racer." Turning around he starts to walk out of the room and says, "Oh, and Racer you don't have to stay in here any longer. You can come out now." Before walking out of the room.
