Donnie P.O.V
"Do I have to?" I wined to my parents.
"Yes son you do," my dad said.
"Awww! Come on!" I said bouncing up and down a little.
"Sorry Donnie, but you have too. How are you going to get in collage?" My mom asked me.
"Uh, you can do my work for me?" I asked trying to look as innocent as I could which wasn't that good.
"No Donnie! You have to do it on your own! It's not that hard to do home work and to listen in class! School is not hard," my dad said.
"I know, but it's boring," I said.
"Why do you say that? You're a smart boy! Very smart," my mom said.
"Ha! I know that I can make good grades but there are kids in my class that are way better than me! And none of them think I can be that smart! Besides, I don't like speaking out in class much! But you two did! Didn't you?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess we did but if you did speak out in class and tell the teacher what you think, then I bet kids wouldn't think you're dumb. You aren't dumb at all. You know that." My dad said.
"You are, forcing me to go to school…" I said under my breath, thank god they didn't hear me. "Schools boring, homework's boring, teachers are boring, even lunch is boring! There's nothing new there! Nothing causing commotion! Nothing different! Nothing that cool! Nothing that's not boring the least bit! There needs to be something new there!" I wined a little too loudly.
"Don't worry. I bet one day there will be. Now you're going to school tomorrow. I don't care what you say Donnie. You only came here today to visit us and have dinner tonight with us. Tomorrow's a school day. So you're going back in the morning," my mom said as she cleaned the dishes.
"Fine," I sighed. Oh, I hate school! It's so boring. My parents think I need to have A's in all classes, with the exception of gym, because they did as kids. My dad was like the smartest kid in class when he was young. Or should I say the smartest boy. There was my mom that was one of the smartest girls. The other was a friend of my moms and dads.
School can be fun and all but everything there is the same. Lately nothing new has happened or came along. My school really needs something to life in it up. Something to make school more fun.
I am a student at Kadic Boarding School. I do have a dorm room there; I was just visiting my mom and dad. I had nothing better to do. I have two friends at school and that's really all. No one else really likes me that much. I guess because I'm goofy at times and am a little of a class clown, or maybe I just look like one of those guys that would bug the crap out of you and never stop following you… cool. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have someone there that was a class clown too and not just me.
I went up to my room or what was left of my room since I moved into Kadic. I just lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I heard my cell phone ring and I answered it.
"Hello," I said.
"Hey Donnie," it was Mia.
"Hey Mia,"
"Roulki and I are at our moms and dads. Where are you?" she asked.
"At my parent's house. I'm bored,"
"Yeah same here. Roulki won't shut up talking about school. He's such a nerd."
"Hahaha! I know."
"Oh now my moms all freaking out cuz she got a call from an old friend. And that friend or friends is in town and now they want to met up with them. I think they haven't seen each other in a while if they're acting like that." Mia said.
"Yeah guess so," then I heard our phone ring. I listened a minute then I heard my mom yell to my dad something in excitement.
"I think that my mom and dad just got a call from that friend," I said.
"Really?"
"Yeah…I'm bored."
"Sorry can't do anything for you there," Mia said. I heard Mia's dad call her.
"Ok daddy," I heard her say, "Sorry Donnie but I got to go. I'll see you at school tomorrow,"
"Okay Mia. Bye,"
"Bye." She hung up then I did. Mia and her older brother Roulki were that only true friends I had. Mia was pretty. She looked like her mom but she had brown hair like her dad. Roulki looked like his dad but Roulki had glasses unlike his father and black hair like his mom.
I look more like my dad then my mom. My mom has pink hair, I don't know why though…. My dad is blonde-haired person. I'm blonde and my hair isn't that short, it's long. I'm kind of a surfer dude. I don't have glasses. And my eyes are blue. Light blue to be exact. I don't have any brothers and sisters. I'm an only child. But I don't think I'm spoiled.
I went back down stairs and I heard my mom and dad talking about the phone call that came.
"I can't believe they're here! We have to go see them!" I heard my dad say.
"And they're children are here too! I cannot wait to see them! I wonder what they're oldest looks like now?" my mom said.
"And the other two," my dad said. I got bored of listening and went to the kitchen. I looked for something to snack on. There was nothing good. So I looked up higher in places I normally couldn't reach. There I saw some cookies. I got up on the counter and reached up for them. I grabbed them. I put my hand on top of the microwave. As I was getting down my hand slipped and I lost my balance. Then my hand hit some of the glass jars on the counter. They fell to the ground and broke. I got down fast before my mom and dad came in.
"Donnie! You okay?" My mom said in panic.
"Uh, I'm fine," I said.
"But the jars aren't," my dad remarked. Glass was all around me. I smiled at my parents innocently.
"Heh heh heh," I laughed nervously.
"Donnie, what were you doing?" my dad asked.
"Uh, well, I was hungry and I wanted a snack. So, I was looking for one and I couldn't find one and then I looked up there and I saw some cookies, and I really wanted some cookies. So I went up there and got them. On my way down I slipped and hit the jars," I said fast. It's not my fault that I'm short, ok not really short but short enough to be picked on.
"I can see that," my dad said quietly.
"You sure that you're okay Donnie?" my mom asked.
"I'm fine mom," I said.
"Pay attention to what you're doing more often Donnie," my dad said.
"Yes sir," I said. I walked out of all the glass to my mom.
"Sorry mom,"
"It's okay. I'll sweep this up," she said.
Normal P.O.V
Back with the Della-Robbia family…
"So tell me why we have this house again," Ella said to her mom as she put her bags down in the house they were using for the time being.
"Ellie! For the 10th time, we are using this house so your father and I can stay here for a little while when you're in school. If we wanna be in France then we'll use this house," Ally said to her daughter.
"Oh. Kay," Ella said in a distant voice. She was too busy looking at the house.
"Isn't this one of Uncle Adams houses? One of the million that they own," Idalli asked.
"Yeah. Its one of them," Odd said. Dow wondered in and set his bags down.
"Are we going to school tomorrow? Because I want to hurry up and have a room with no Ella in it." Dow said.
"No," Odd said.
"But tomorrows Friday," Ella said.
"We know. But tomorrow we want you to stay here and help for a while and get to see the town a little." Ally said.
"Oh, okay, this'll be fun," Dow said sarcastically.
"Go find a room and claim it for tonight or for a while." Odd said. The three teenagers ran up the stairs to find a room.
"This ones mine!" Idalli yelled running into the one on the west side. Ella and Dow didn't really care. They were too busy trying to find the one that was the biggest and had one of those walls that caved in on purpose like an attic room. They both found it at the same time. They looked at one another. Then they both ran forward towards the room.
"Its-" Dow yelled.
"No! Its mine!" Ella yelled. She pushed Dow out of the way and ran into the room, "It has bunk beds." She said. Dow looked up at the top bunk. Before Ella could clam that one hers, Dow ran in and got on the top bunk.
"Mine," he said looking down on her.
"Okay," Ella said. "Sometimes I fall outta bed. So I ain't goin' for the top." Dow stared at her for a moment then shrugged his shoulders and lay down on his back. 'I don't wanna be here!' he thought. 'I wanna be back home in my house in my room! Our home is so much better,' he sighed and heard Ella get something out of her little bag she carried around everywhere.
"Bored…" he muttered.
"Get over it," Ella responded.
"I wasn't talkin to you,"
"So…?"
"You can't talk unless I talk to you,"
"That won't happen,"
"Be quiet!"
"Make meh!" Dow leaded over the side and tried to hit her in the head. She grabbed his hand and acted as if to pull him down.
"Don't you even," Dow warned. Ella smiled innocently, which was pretty dang good. She did a little giggle and he looked at her sternly. She smiled even bigger and pulled him down.
"Ahh!" Dow yelled as he fell to the floor.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Ella laughed.
"Damn it! Ella!" Dow yelled. She got up and tried to run away from him but he grabbed her ankle and pulled her down. Dow started tickling her.
"Dow! Stop it! Stop!" she cried. Dow soon put her in a headlock. He rubbed her head hard, "Ow! DOW! Stop! You're messing up my hair and my hat!" Idalli stood in the doorway for a moment watching Dow and Ella. They didn't notice him. Then he went at Dow and put him in a headlock and rubbed his head like Dow did Ella's head.
"Hey there shrimp!" Idalli laughed.
"Ah! Idalli! Quite it!" Dow wined. Dow let go of Ella and she fixed her hat and hair. Then Idalli grabbed Ella with the other arm that wasn't holding Dow and put her in a headlock.
"Hey ya squirt!" Idalli said to Ella smiling.
"Hey Idalli," she said.
"Let go Idalli!" Dow said. He was pushing Idalli away. Idalli let Dow go and Dow fell on his butt. Ella giggled and Idalli smiled ear to ear. Dow glared at his siblings. Idalli let go of Ella gently and she fixed her hair and hat again.
"Ya two fight too much," Idalli said.
"We're siblings. We're supposed to fight." Ella said.
"But I'm yer sibling too and you don't fight with me," Idalli remarked.
"Yeah, but Dow does," Ella responded.
"True," Idalli muttered. "But he fights with you more,"
"Well, I'm his twin. I'm closer in age to him. Unlike you," said Ella.
"I guess yer right," Idalli said.
"Its not like I'm right here!" Dow said. Ella and Idalli both raised one eyebrow at him.
"So…?" Idalli asked. Dow looked at him with no expression on his face.
"You two are strange." Dow muttered.
"Not as strange as you," Ella said back to him.
"Whatever, at least I wouldn't make my younger sibling smell his nasty armpit for 5 agonizing seconds." Dow retorted.
------------------------------------
Ally and Odd moved around the kitchen, getting dinner ready.
"What should we eat tonight?" Odd asked his wife.
"Uh, well. What do you think the kids would want?"
"You mean, what do you think the twins would want," Odd said. Ally laughed.
"Yeah. But you know they're not that picky. Remember, they're your kids," Ally said smiling.
"Ha! They're yours too."
"Yeah, but the twins take more after you when it comes to food. Or more Ella has your appetite."
"Yeah," Ally made something fast and easy for her to make. Fried chicken. She did watch her weight and the weight of her kids and husband. She made sure that they were fit for they're size and age. The kids didn't mind much but sometimes Odd had a hard time with it. He has a bottomless pit for a stomach so says his family and friends.
"Kids! Time to eat!" Ally yelled up the stairs. All three of them came running down the stairs, Ella in the lead.
"Oh yay! I'm hungry!" Ella cried.
"El, you're always hungry." Dow said. She laughed and nodded her head.
" Ya got that right!" Idalli laughed. They all ate dinner, and then soon they all went to bed.
The Next morning…
Ella woke up early and before she went down stairs, she put on her bathrobe. Her mom always told her to do that or get dressed before coming down. She shut the doors quietly because Dow was still asleep. She came down the stairs in her purple robe. She looked around the house but couldn't find anyone up. She went out back and found her mom sitting in a chair was some coffee.
"Morning Ellie," her mom said without looking at her. Her mom hadn't even seen her yet.
"Mornin' mama," Ella said sitting next to her mom.
"You're up early," Ally said.
"Yeah. So are you," Ella responded.
"Ya know I always am," Ally looked at her daughter. Ella smiled.
"Mom, the school Dow and I are goin to, its good right?" Ella asked.
"Oh yes it is! There are a lot of things to find there. Its fun," Ally said remembering when she was a teenager.
"Uh, so I'm bordering there…. Ya think I'll find some friends?" Ella asked.
"Sure, I bet you would. Some of my friend's kids are going to be there. Or are there." Ally said.
"Oh. Ok…. Mama, I'll try my hardest to not get into trouble." Ella looked at her hands.
"Ellie, I know you will. Just try not to give it away on how you are. That's going to be the hardest part."
"I know. Its nice out," Ella said.
"Yes it is. I missed France." Ally looked at nothing unparticular and thought of the last time she was in France. The last time was before the twins were born. It had been 13 years.
Ally and Ella sat outside for a while then decided to go in.
"Ella, can you go get your father up," Ally asked.
"Yeah, sure ma," Ella went back to her moms and dads room. Her dad was still in bed. She walked up too him.
"Papa, get up. Mama wants you up," Ella said shacking her dad. "Papa, get up. Pa! Time to wake up! Papa!" Ella was starting to wine. Ella looked at her dad. She thought on how to get him up. "Oh! I got it!" She got close to her dads face. "Dad, mama said if you don't get up now, you wont get any of mamas breakfast that she is making," Odd finally moved around.
"Huh honey," he muttered.
"Mama said no breakfast if you don't get up now!" Ella said louder.
"OH! I'm up! I'm up." Odd said. He sat up fast. Ella smiled at her dad.
"Mornin' Papa," she said.
"Morning Firefly," he said. He kissed her on the head and got up. "So, how are you this morning?" he asked her.
"Good."
"How'd you sleep?" he asked.
"Uh, ok. I like mine at home better,"
"Haha. Same here," Odd through on a shirt and opened the door to go to the kitchen. "Come on Firefly," Ella laughed and followed her dad. As she past him she stuck her tongue out at him. He laughed and did it back at her. Odd was playful with his kids. He could be serious but he was more playful with them. Ally was too; almost as much as Odd. But Odd was just plain goofy with his kids.
Soon Idalli and Dow came down in they're P.Js doing they're morning scratches.
"Finally up I see," Ally said to both her sons.
"Ye-ah" Dow yawned as he scratched the back of his head.
"Good morning bros!" Ella said happily. Dow looked at her strangely.
"You can be too happy in the morning," He mumbled. Ella just smiled.
"You two better start eating. It's almost gone," Ally said. Idalli and Dow sat down fast and began to eat.
After Ella was done eating, she cleaned her plate and went to get dress. She got dress in her usual hot pink long sleeved belly shirt with a purple no sleeved belly shirt over it. She put on her jeans that were like her dads when he was young. She put on her yellow shoes and put her hair up in pigtails. She put her purple hat on and her chocker.
She went down stairs and opened the door outside.
"Mom, dad! I'm goin' to look around outside!" Ella yelled to her mom and dad.
"Okay, ya just stay away from the factory surrounded by water. You're not allowed there!" her mom yelled back.
"Okay!" Ella didn't ask why. Her mom was too serious sounding. She ran out side and walked along the sidewalk. France seemed busy. She didn't like busy places that much. As she walked on she saw the park. Curious, she went over to check it out. The park was pretty to her. A lot of trees and animal, it was kind of like the woods in her back yard at home.
As she walked along in the park, she heard some voices. It sounded like female voices. She followed them to see no humans around but she saw pidgins. She smiled to herself.
"Not only did he say that, he flew the coup!" Ella heard a voice say.
"No way? I knew he would do it soon!" Ella looked closely at the pidgins and smiled more.
"He is so crazy! He did that to her! He is so stupid!"
"No way? He's stupid? I would never have guessed!" Ella said getting on her knees. The pidgins looked at her.
"Oh no! A human! Pay no attention to it!" one of the pidgins said.
"Like that's goin' ta help," Ella remarked.
"You can understand us?" one pidgin asked.
"No dua! But only I can. I don't think any other human can," Ella said happily. One of Ella's powers was being able to talk to animals. She already knew of the W.P.A and her mom and dads powers they have. But she knew nothing of Lyoko.
"That's good. But still, you need to go away human! We're not bothering you!" The first pidgin said.
"Well, that's a mean greeting," Ella said turning her head sideways.
"Go away before I poop on your head," the second one said.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so scared!" Ella acted scared then she smiled and shook her head a little. "Like you can hurt me! Or even scare me."
"Oh yeah?" another pidgin said, "Well, you'll see. We'll scare you,"
"It ain't your job to scare. Its your job to fly away screamin'!" Ella giggled.
"Huh?" one asked. Ella stood up fast and ran at the pidgins.
"BOOAHH!" Ella yelled at them.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they all yelled flying off.
"Hahaha! Stupid pidgins!" Ella muttered. She looked around for a second then heard a voice behind her.
"Hey, I was going to scare them away human," Ella turned to see a little Fox Terrier sitting by a tree.
"Sorry, I didn't know," Ella said.
"Well, you look like someone I've seen before. Are you a Della-Robbia?" the dog asked.
"Yeah, I am,"
"Ah, I see. Well, I've seen a picture of your mother before."
"Cool," Ella said with not much enthusiasm.
"Well, you're not the interesting."
"You're not either,"
"Well, then. Just snap back at me,"
"Ya say well too much!" Ella said her southern talk coming back slowly.
"Well, why do you care?"
"You said it again!" Ella pointed at the dog.
"Well, I don't care," the dog looked away from Ella.
"Yet again, you said "Well"…You're strange," Ella remarked.
"Well, you say words that began with "Y" to much!"
"Oh wow! I didn't know you could spell!"
"Well, I can human. And I'm better at it then you,"
"Hey, Fern! Go play with your squeak toy!" said a male voice. Ella looked up to see a hawk in a tree. He was a pretty one.
"Well, nice surprise to see the great Shogo here," the Fern said.
"Showy! Hey! Ma let you out already?" Ella asked walking closer to him. He came down to a lower branch.
"Yes Ella she did." Shogo said. Shogo doesn't sound old at all. He sounds like a guy in his twenties. Shogo has an internal life. He'll life forever till the power is lifted from him, and then he'll live for a while longer. Then when he grows old and to where he can't go on anymore, he'll die.
"You're going to like school here Ella. You're mother sure did. So did your dad." Shogo said.
"Well, you try to stay here with me? You know like so I can do what my mom did when she was young and here?" Ella asked sweetly.
"I'll see what I can do," Shogo said.
"YAY!" Ella cheered. Shogo looked up from looking at Ella to the sidewalk in the middle of the park. Ella didn't notice him look up.
A boy passed by with short brown hair. He looked tough. As he walked by he caught a glimpse of Ella. When he walked passed her he stopped and slowly walked backwards to see her.
"Whoa. This is new," he muttered. Ella noticed a presents and turned to see him looking at her.
"Ella, I think he is checking ya out." Shogo said to her.
(You think? Oh I don't think his intentions are good. They could be.) she thought to him.
"Show him how sweet you are. If he ever messes with you, you can surprise him." Shogo said. The boy came walking up to her.
"Hey there. I haven't seen you around here before. You knew around these parts?" he asked kind of looking her up and down as he came up to her.
"Yeah, I am. I just got here yesterday." Ella said in a sweet voice.
"Oh really. Where are you from?"
"America," Ella said.
"What school are you going to go to here?" He asked.
"Uh, Kadic Boarding School I think," she said.
"Oh really? That's where I go. What's your name anyway?"
"Ella. I'm Ella, and you are?"
"Oh, I'm Matt."
"Glad to meet you Matt," Ella said shaking his hand.
"Glad to meet you too Ella. You want me to show you around the park. Tell you what groups aren't the best groups to be with? I mean, some guys can take advantage of a pretty girl like yourself." He said. Ella made a fake blush appear.
"Thanks but I can't. I've got to get home," she said.
"Oh, ok. Well I guess I'll see you at school uh this morning?" he asked.
"No tomorrow. I'm not going to that school till tomorrow,"
"Oh, okay. See you tomorrow then,"
"Bye Matt,"
"Bye Ella," Ella walked out of his sight. She noticed him staring at her as she walked away. 'So not my type.' She thought. She spent a little more time in the park then she went to the streets of the city. She saw all these different stores, the museum, Jewelry shops, CD stores, and more. When she saw the CD store she ran in.
"What CDs do ya'll gots?" she whispered. She fingered through them until her cell phone rang.
"Ello?" Ella said.
"Hey El. Mom and dad want you home. They need your help," It was Dow. He had no emotion what so ever in his voice.
"Okay Dow. Be there soon,"
"Bye…"
"Bye!"
Ella hung up and walked out of the store. 'What
do they want? It's fun in this city. Gosh! I better hurry and get
there.' She thought. She walked faster.
Somehow she remembered where the house was and walked inside. She saw Dow sprawled out on the couch watching TV.
"Dow, aren't you helping ma and pa?" she asked him leaning over the back of the couch so she could see his face.
"I all ready did. It's your turn," he said, yet again with no emotion in his voice.
"Okay, Whatever," Ella said reaching down and hitting his head. Then she ran off the where she heard her moms voice before he could hit her back.
"Ma! Did you need me?" she asked.
"Yeah. You're little enough. Can you fit under there for me?" Ally asked her daughter. She pointed to a hole in the wall. It looked like her mom and dad had made it for some reason.
"Yeah, but why?"
"Cuz, your father and I are trying to build one of those holders that come out of the wall like the ones at home." Ally said putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh, yeah. I can fit," Ella crawled into the hole. Ally watched her carefully.
"Now what?" Ella yelled to her mom.
"Pull the yellow wire and push it behind you and give it to me," Ally said pushing back her hair. Ella did as told and Ally grabbed the wire.
"Now the red one," Ally told her. Ella gave her mom the red one. "Now re-wire the blue and green ones. I know you can do it. You've done it before," Ella did that with in 1-½ minutes.
"Done!" Ella said happily.
"Come out then," Ally said. Ella came out and stood up.
"There you go mama!" Ella said with a wide grin.
"Thank you Ella," Ally said happily.
Ella walked into the living room to see Dow staring at his hands.
"Dow? Are you okay?" Ella asked. He didn't answer her. "Dow?" Ella said again.
"Huh?" he looked up at her. "What?" he asked.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," He mumbled. He looked back at his hands.
"You sure?" Ella asked. He nodded and stared at his hands more. She stared at him for a second then went to find Idalli.
Dow P.O.V
My hands where hurting for some reason. I had the need to bite on them for some reason too. It was strange. They were throbbing. It hurt a little. I stared at them till I heard my mom coming. I looked up and stood up. She smiled at me as she walked into the kitchen. As I watched her go into the kitchen my eyes throbbed and everything turned red of a second. I gasped out of fear, shook my head and everything was normal again. Maybe I watched TV to long or I was just tired, but whatever the reason I decided to go to my room for a while.
I sat there on the top bunk just looking around. I wasn't doing much of anything. My head was hurting a little but that's all. Soon my ma called me for dinner. Of course Ella and my Dad were already wolfing down all the food, I'm surprised their not fat-assess. After eating and having a little pointless argument with Ella, I went off to my room again and sat on the top bunk again. I just stared at my hands wondering what the hell was going on with them. After about 30 of just sitting there my mom came in the room.
"Dow, trainin' time." She said sweetly.
"What? Ma! DO I have too?" I wined.
"Do you wanna be better at your powers or not?" She asked.
"Okay. I'm coming," I sighed. I got up and followed my mom. She opened a door and we went into an underground training area, just like the one at home but it's bigger than this one. I saw Idalli sitting on a chair and he smiled when he saw me. I heard my dad say, "You're goin to have to be quicker than that!" I looked over and saw Ella with a short belly shirt on and shorts on. She was training with dad. He had his shirt off and some comfortable pants on that were lose and a little baggy. They were both bare footed and had fingerless gloves on.
I watched as Ella swung her leg at dad but he blocked it fast. Dad tried to strike out Ella but it didn't work. He kicked at her but she dropped to the ground fast avoiding it. Dad quickly used his other foot to kick her down where she was. She hopped back and popped up fast.
"Show me you're tricks!" Dad said. Ella nodded. For some reason when she fought with him she never talked really.
Dad through his fist out and Ella turned her body dodging it. He kicked at her head and she flipped back wards that time.
"Nice," my dad said. She kicked her leg out at him and he caught it. He turned her leg and it made her whole body turn and spin in the air for a second. She put her hands out and as she spun her hands guided her like she was doing a cartwheel. She pulled her leg out of his grasp and did a back flip and landed on her feet.
"Great!" my dad said. "Power time!" he yelled. He pointed his hand out towards her and her right arm started glowing purple. She looked at it and smiled. Suddenly, Ella's eyes flashed and my dad stumbled back wards. He shook his head like a dog that just got out of the water would, and then he went for her. She grabbed his fist that was coming at her and tried to push it away. My dad used the opportunity and spun her around like they were on a dance floor. He pulled her back to his chest and wrapped one arm around the upper parts of her arms and he pulled his hand out of hers and wrapped it around her too. He had her in a tight lock that she couldn't get out of, yet anyway. She tried turning this way and that but it didn't work.
"I ain't letting you go Ella!" my dad grunted from trying to hold her still. Ella leaded down a little and then slammed her head back but it didn't work either.
"Give up?" my dad asked.
"No!" Ella half cried. She closed her eyes tight and tilted her head down. She found one of dad's legs and kicked it.
"Ow!" dad yelled but he didn't let her go. Ella squirmed faster and harder making it look hard for dad to hold her. She kicked him again and he stumbled a little. He stumbled near a wall and Ella quickly put her feet on it. She pushed as hard as she could and dad went stumbling backwards fast. He almost fell down. He must've loosened his hold on Ella because she got out of his hold. She turned to him and smiled. He smiled back a tried to trip her. She jumped it and tried to punch him. He caught her hand and pushed her down. She tried to keep her balance but she fell to the floor.
"Okay fire-fly. We're done for today," dad said.
"Awww man! I wanted to do more. Its fun!" Ella wined.
"Sorry girl. Its Dows turn now," my dad said looking at me. Ella looked at me and smiled. She got up and hopped foot to foot.
"Your turn Dow!" Ella giggled. I rolled my eyes and went and put the clothes I needed for training on. When I came out my mom was waiting for me.
"Ready Dow?" she asked. I rolled my eyes and just stood there with my arms crossed.
"Dow." She said seriously.
"Uh! Ok fine." I nodded and got into my right stance. Then my dad counted down from three and said start and we both started.
My ma is a very good fighter. She can move faster than anyone I know and she has the grace of a cat. Ella takes a lot after her in fighting but Ella always says she'll never be as good as mama.
Mama swung her fist forward and I blocked it. She smiled at me and tried to kick me. I dodged it barely. I kicked at her stomach but she jumped back. I followed her up and tried to punch her but she used her forearm to block it. She punched at my gut but I blocked it with my hands. This went on for a while till my mom said to use my power to defend me not my limbs.
When she through a punch at me a moved my hand quickly like a windshield wiper where she was punching and she hit a shield. One of my powers is force field. It's really my only power, hard to master but useful. She kicked at me again. I blocked it the same way. We went through this a few times, soon it was getting tougher. She was moving faster and using some of her powers.
"Come on Dow! Block it faster! Think quicker!" she said to me. I tried but it was so hard. Soon I got to where I could barely block her at all.
She kicked her leg at my side and hit it too. I wasn't fast enough to block it. It didn't hurt too much. It just stung a little. She sighed and punched at me. I tried to block it but her hand came through the shield and got me in the gut. I held it for a second but was back to normal as fast as the pain from moms blow came. She got me a few more times before she starting getting real serious.
"Dow! Come on! You can do better! Fight it! Focus! Think about you're shield!" she yelled to me. I tried again but I got nothing. Soon my mom hit me good in the stomach and I fell to the ground.
"We're done," she sighed. She sounded disappointed. I stayed on my hands and knees breathing heavily. I saw my mom's feet in front of me.
"Dow, what's wrong? You usually aren't this way," I heard her asked. I didn't say anything. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I felt strange that's one thing for sure. I felt a gentle hand go across my back. I recognized it as Ella because I saw her feet that look like a females and they were little tan like moms, also, Ella has the smallest feet in the family.
"Everything all right Dow?" she asked.
"Fine El," I said quietly back.
"You sure?"
"Yeah El. I am," I said closing my eyes for a second.
"Okay bro. Whatever you say." She touched my back again before she lelt to go to our room.
"Hey shrimp. You're actin' strange. Ya have something wrong?" Idalli asked. He was to my right I could tell by where his voice was coming from.
"No, just give me a min.! I'll be fine," I said getting annoyed.
"Okay shrimp. I'll leave ya be," I heard him walk off.
"Dow sweetie, ya sure you're okay. You're not fightin' to well and you're weaker." My mom said sweetly.
"I'm okay ma."
"You sure Big-D? This ain't like you," my dad said. "Ma didn't over work you did she?"
"No, she didn't. I'm fine don't worry. I'm just tired and I wasn't up for a fight anyway, and don't call me "Big -D" that sounds retarded." I said.
"Cuz you are.", he chuckled, "Okay. I'm goin' to check on the other two," my dad said. I heard him run up the stairs.
"Dow," my mom bent down and ran her fingers through my hair, "you were doin' great till the last part right there. Were you tired son? Worn out?" she stopped running her fingers through my hair and held the back of my head.
"Yeah," I said. 'GOD! Why did everyone care so much about that?' I thought.
"Everyone cares cuz it can be dangerous if suddenly you were weak. It could be you're reaching a new power level or you're sick or something's wrong with you and can make you very sick and possibly die," my mom said reading my mind. I looked at her.
"I'm fine ma. I promise." I said with a fake little smile. She smiled back and kissed my forehead gently.
"Okay sweetie. Come on, lets go get a snack here right quick if ya want one," she said with a bigger smile.
"Nah. I'm fine. I'm just goin' to go to my room," I said. She helped me up.
"Okay, son. Whatever ya wanna do," she pushed me towards the stairs. "Lets get outta this here place. We're done here for today,"
I sat on my bed again just looking at my hands, arms, and legs. Every once in a while, I would see red. For some reason I felt angry. My mind went back to the training earlier. I remembered how good Ella had done and how much I messed up. I felt anger again. 'Why did I mess up so bad? How come Ella didn't? Was it because she practices a lot? Or is it that she's better than me? I don't get it! Why is it always harder for me then her or even Idalli? Why do my hands hurt? How come I'm getting mad easier than I usually do? Why am I asking myself so many questions?' I thought. My head was starting to hurt now. I grabbed it for a second then I heard Ella come in and say "Hi" to me. She sat on her bed and I heard her pull out her CD player. I didn't say anything to her. I just kept quiet and watched things go red for a second. I looked out the window to see my own reflection coming back at me. I saw red again but my eyes didn't turn red. They stayed purple. (A/N: AT: We changed Dows eye color to purple with a faint bit of red in them but barely any red. We got in fixed in chap. 3. Just wanted ya'll to know that. On with the story!) I looked back at my hands. They were throbbing. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stick up. I felt like someone was watching me. I looked at my bedroom door. No one was there. I could still hear Ella below me. I looked out the window. But there was nothing. All I could see was darkness and the streetlights. I got chills for a second. I rubbed my arms and shook my head like a dog. 'It's nothing,' I thought. Though, I didn't believe myself all the way. I titled my head down and closed my eyes. Suddenly, I heard glass shatter and a felt a sharp pain in my gut.
Ella P.O.V
I was listening to one of my CDs when I felt a strange presents. I don't know what it was but I didn't like it. I sat up from laying down and looked at the window. Nothing. I just sat still thinking. I felt something strange coming from Dow. I looked up to the bed above me. He seemed content. I looked at my feet and and closed my eyes. Then I felt the same presents again. Suddenly, something was telling me "danger". My whole body was tingling. My gut hurt. Then suddenly, I heard glass shatter. I quickly took off my headphones and shot up. I looked at the window to see it shattered. My eyes widened and I looked up at Dow. I couldn't see him, but I could see some brown thing. My insides started to hurt. I climbed the latter fast and froze at what I saw.
Dow P.O.V
I felt a horrible pain in my gut. I opened my eyes and looked down at it. My eyes widened and I shrieked. There was a spear in me! It was through me and pinning me to the wall. I felt such bad pain. I saw my blood oozing down my stomach. I looked up and saw Ella, her eyes wide with fear. I gritted my teeth with pain. Ella looked me in the eyes. I could see fear big time in her eyes.
"MAMA! DADDY!" Ella screamed as loud as she could. "COME HERE FAST! MAMA! DADDY!" I knew mom and dad would come fast because Ella only says "Daddy" when she is scared, sad, or sorry. Ella touched my shoulder gently. "Dow…" she muttered. It hurt so badly. I almost felt like crying. I was trying my hardest not too.
Normal P.O.V
Ally and Odd came running into the room, Ally in the lead.
"Oh my god…" was what came out of Ally's mouth when she saw her son. Idalli was behind his parents.
"What the hell?" he muttered. Ella turned her head to her parents.
"Ma…" she said close to tears herself. Ally ran over to the bed with Odd behind her.
"Come down Ellie," Ally said sweetly. Ella jumped down and Ally and Odd went up to the top bunk. Odd got on one side of Dow, Ally got on the other. "Dow sweetie," Ally whispered quietly. She ran her fingers through his hair. She looked at Odd. He looked almost as scared as Ella did.
"Mom…" cried Dow in pain. Tears ran down his cheeks. "I don't wanna die…"
"I know Dow," Ally looked at the spear. "A spear? Why not somethin' better?" she asked Odd. He shrugged.
"No! Spears fine! Nothing worse!" Ella said loudly. Idalli went over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Get it out!" Dow cried. Ally looked closely at Dow.
"We need to move him outta here first," Ally said.
"Uh Ally honey, I don't think we can," Odd getting even more worried.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Cuz it went through him and into the wall. It's pinning him there. Look," Odd said. Ally looked and gasped. It was pinning him to the wall. Ally bit one of her fingernails.
"We gotta pull it…. Pull it out…Yank it," Ally said with some trouble to Odd. Odd nodded. He looked at his son. He had a painful look on his face.
"Ma, ya know the way it's in him that if ya pull it he'll bleed ta death! You'll have ta do something ta make it not bleed so bad!" Ella cried. She already had tears rolling down her cheeks. Ally looked at her daughter. She knew how Ella felt and that Ella could feel Dows pain. Literary. It was a twin thing and Ally experienced it too with her twin brother Adam. She also knew that Ella was really scared. She knew how close her and Dow were, and how much Ella cared for anyone she loves.
"I know Ellie, I know." Ally said to her. She looked back at Dow. "Dow, we're goin' ta have ta pull it out. It's the only way," Dow bit his low lip as more tears ran down his cheeks.
Ally started to slowly pull on the spear. Then Dow shrieked, and yelled with pain.
"Wait mom! We can call the hospital! An ambulance! They can get'em!" Idalli said pulling out his cell phone.
"No Idalli!" Odd said to him. Idalli looked at his father.
"Why not?" Idalli asked.
"Those people don't need to be involved with this. And when the W.P.A finds out they wont leave us alone and they'll wanna move us. Remember last time they wanted to that? Your mother and I had to go through a lot to make sure they didn't make us move. We can handle this. You mother and I have before. We were only thirteen then! We've done it once, we can do it again." Odd said to Idalli. Idalli nodded and put his cell phone away. His dad seemed serious which was not normal so Idalli didn't ask any questions.
Odd looked back at Ally. She was biting her fingernails. Odd reached forward and pulled her hand away from her mouth. She looked at him and she nodded.
"Come on. Lets get this over with," he said to her. She didn't say anything. She only bit her lip and looked back at Dow.
"Odd, when I pull it out ya quickly apply pressure to his wound okay?" Ally told Odd.
"Yeah. Got it," Odd reasoned. Ally gentle grabbed the spear. Right when she did Dow yelled in pain. It hurt him just to touch it. Ally pulled her hands back. Then tears started flowing down his cheeks at a fast pace.
"It hurts worse now! Make it stop!" Dow yelled out.
"Okay," Ally said. Ella covered her ears as Odd put his hands on Dow shoulders and pushed him against the wall.
"Okay Ally. Ready," Odd said. Ally nodded and grabbed the spear gently. This time Dow held back his yell. Ally got ready then as fast as she could; she pulled it out of him. Dow opened his mouth to yell out in pain but before he could get a second of a yell out Odd covered his mouth with his hand to muffle the scream and put pressure on Dow wound with the other. Odd didn't like hearing someone he loved scream or yell out in pain, especially his family. It was a reaction to do that when he knew someone was going to yell. He did it to Ally every time she was about to yell or scream. Dow stopped yelling but Odd didn't move his hand. Odd could feel Dow tears on his hand. Dow looked at his father with pain in his eyes. Odds face showed pain as well but not from a physical pain like Dow had; it was from still hearing Dow yell even though it was muffled and feeling his tears on his hand.
"Odd, move a little bit. I got ta heal'em," Ally said. Odd nodded and moved his hand from Dow mouth and he moved over some. Ally put her hand on Dows wound as Odd moved his hand.
"Healaretrazita!" Ally muttered. It was a healing spell she learned in Lyoko when she was young. "It won't heal it all the way, but it will make the bleeding stop a lot. By tomorrow it should be healed." She told Dow. He nodded the pain was gone now. Ally looked at her other two kids. Idalli was hugging Ella trying to get her to calm down. Ally weakly smiled at Ella. Ella just closed her eyes tightly and sighed. Ally turned back to Dow.
"Can you get up? Can you crawl?" Ally asked. Dow tried to crawl forward but drew back in pain.
He shook his head calmly with a little sniffle after that.
"Okay. Then you can't walk," Odd said. Ally nodded. Ally got down off the bed.
"We need to get him to the living room. Idalli, get the first AID kit ready," Ally said.
"Yes'm!" He said fast running out of them room. Odd got half way down the latter before grabbing Dow and helping him down. Dow was able to stand but that was about it. Odd got ready to pick him up when Dow put his hands out.
"I don't wanna be carried like a baby," Dow said.
"Okay then. How about I carry you over my shoulder? Just swing you over it?" Odd said with a grin.
"No. I don't wanna be carried at all!" Dow yelled. Odd raised his eyebrows.
"Okay then. You wanna walk there?" Odd asked. Dow froze for a minute.
"No," he said slowly. Odd smiled.
"Then you're being carried." Odd said picking him up.
"Eh," was all Dow could say at the moment. Odd shook his head and carried Dow out of the room leaving Ella and Ally alone.
"Ellie," Ally said softly. Ella looked at the ground and she grabbed both her elbows. "Ellie don't be scared. It's all over with. Dow's okay now,"
"But mama, that came from no where. It scared me so bad. And I could feel what Dow felt but it was stronger than any twin thing," Ella said quietly. Ally sighed. She walked up to Ella and hugged her. She went down to Ella's eye level and looked her in the eyes. She stroked Ella's golden hair.
"It's okay Ella. Everything is fine now. Ya don't need ta be scared or worried. Everything's ok Ellie. Don't be frightened." Ally kissed Ella on the head and hugged her tight. Ella hugged her back. "Now go see if yer dad needs help with Dow. Go help the boys," Ally told Ella.
"Kay Mama," Ella said then she walked out of the room. Ally stood up and looked at the window. She out her hand out and whispered "Fixerbackcozaly" and it repaired it self. She looked that the top bunk. She reached up and grabbed the spear from the top of the bunk. The tip was covered in blood. She went into the bathroom and cleaned it off. She looked closely at the spear.
"A warning spear?" she asked herself aloud. "Why is it a warning spear?" Thoughts raced through Ally's mind, bad and worse. 'Oh no! What if its one of them? But why would they hurt Dow? This is all strange!' Ally stared at the spear then put it up on the top of her bookshelf in her room and went to find the boys and Ella.
Dow was sitting on a chair with Ella in front of him wrapping his wound with cloths around his stomach.
"I'd thought I'd let her do it since she knows how almost as good as you and better then me," Odd said to Ally as she walked in.
"Okay," Ally said walking over to Dow and Ella. Ella was just staring at Dow stomach as she wrapped him up. Dow watched her a concerned look on his face. He looked up at Ally and gave her a questionable look. Ally kneeled down by Ella.
"Hey Ellie," she said softly, "Nice job ya have done right there,"
"Thanks," Ella responded like Dow would when it was a normal day, with no emotion in her voice. Ally was thinking of something to say when Dow spoke up.
"Hey. Something bugging you?" He asked her. She looked up at him.
"Uh, a little," she said this time with emotion in her voice.
"What is it?" Dow sniffled. He paused for a minute and she didn't say anything, "Oh its what happened."
Ella looked back down at his stomach.
"Yeah, but I'm fine. Don't worry!" Ella perked up. She smiled at Dow and he doesn't smile back but gives her a sweet look..
"Its still hurts," he said to his mom.
"Its will stop soon enough. Ella do it a little tighter please," Ally said.
"Kay mama!" she said doing as her mom said.
Before they knew it, it was time to go to bed. Odd helped Dow get to his bed now that he could walk better and Ally changed out the sheets. They got him in the bed, somehow.
"Hey mom. Am I going to school tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah Dow, you are,"
"Darn it! Why?"
"Cuz you'll be better in the morning. It will be like nothing happened." Odd answered for Ally.
"But-!"
"Don't argue Dow," his mother said sternly. Dow sighed and laid down and slowly turned his body to the wall. Ella sat on the bunk underneath just staring at the bunk up top. Odd looked at his daughter and sighed.
"Firefly," he said, "it'll be okay. Tomorrow it'll be like nothing happened. Just don't worry. Dows fine, your fine, Idalli's fine, your mother is fine, I'm fine- we're all fine. Ella just please stop worrying," he whispered to her.
"I'll try papa. Its just hard," she whispered back.
"I know firefly," he gently touched her head. "I love you," he said to her.
"Love you too papa," she said back. He smiled and kissed her forehead. Then Ally came down to her daughter.
"Hey there Ellie. You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah mama. I'm fine, we all are," she said looking at her dad. He smiled bigger.
"Okay. Sweet dreams. I love you," Ally whispered.
"I love ya to ma," Ella said. Ally did the same thing Odd did and stood up. "Love you both," Ally said.
"Yeah-!" Dow cut off Odd.
"Okay! Everybody loves everybody! Now go away! I'm tired! I'm trying to go to sleep!" Dow said loudly. Odd raised an eyebrow at him. Ella kicked at the bunk on top of hers.
"OW!" Dow said jumping a little. Ella giggled softly and Odd and Ally smiled.
"Ella!" Dow yelled at her.
"Oh, stop whining! You ain't hurt ya freak!" Ella said kicking at the bunk again.
"OW! What is it? Pick on the badly wounded day- night?" Dow asked.
"One, you ain't badly wounded, ya just got a small wound that ain't hurting you. Two, well, you just need to shut up! Ya wimp!" Ella laughed.
"I still hurts.." Dow growled.
"Now you two stop it," Ally laughed. "Its time to go to bed,"
"That's what I've be trying to do!" Dow said. Ally raised both her eyebrows and looked at Ella. She nodded her head and Ella smiled. Then Ella kicked the top bunk again.
"OW!" Dow yelled. "Mama!"
"Oh be quiet Dow. Just stop whining and she'll stop," Odd laughed.
"That's what you think," Dow muttered.
"All right now. Time to fall asleep! Tomorrow's school! Well, your first day. You have to learn where everything is," Odd said.
"Kay papa," Ella said. He smiled.
"Night twins," Ally and Odd said in unison.
"Night," the twins said back at the same time.
A few minutes later in Odd and Ally's room…
Ally stood at her dresser staring at the spear. Her mind was racing again and she was very confused. Odd was in their bathroom brushing his teeth. When he finished he went in their room and saw Ally standing over by the dresser not moving a muscle. He knew something was bugging her. She did that all the time when she was thinking hard about something that was bugging the crap out of her. He walked over to her quietly and wrapped his arms around her waste.
"Hey sweetie," he whispered in her ear. He swayed back and forth making her move with him.
"Hi honey," Ally said in a distant voice. Odd stopped moving and froze for a second.
"What's bugging you Al?" he asked. She sighed as he rested his chin on her shoulder.
"What happened is," Ally sighed.
"Oh now, don't you go being like Ella." Odd said, "You're suppose to be the strong one about stuff like that. The one that doesn't get affected by it when it's over. Like the Ally I met when I was thirteen. The one I fell in love with," Odd whispered in her ear. He pushed his head up against hers.
"I know Odd but it ain't over yet!" Ally retorted. "It's just beginning for them."
"What makes you think that?" Odd asked.
"Because of what the spear is," Ally muttered. She picked it up.
"What is it? What kind is it?" Odd asked.
"A warning spear," she said quietly. Odd froze for a second.
"But why?" Odd asked in a low whisper.
"I don't know. That's what's bugging me," Ally said running her fingers over the spear.
"You think they're warning us because we're near the factory? And they mistake Dow for one of us?" Odd asked her. Ally stared at the tip of the spear.
"I don't know. But wouldn't Jeremy, Aileta, Yumi, and Ulrich get warnings too?"
"Unless this one is from one of you're mission enemies," Odd said. Ally sighed, "Sweetie, you know Dow, Ella, and Idalli can take care of themselves like we could,"
"But they know nothing of Lyoko. Not of XANA either." Ally half cried.
"But they know of the W.P.A. And about your body and all that," Odd said.
"Only because they're nosy." Ally whispered. Odd couldn't help but laugh.
"I know but I know you would have wanted to tell them soon anyway. When the times right we'll tell them of Lyoko. They'll be fine. You don't need to worry. Idalli is almost eighteen. The twins stick together a lot. They take care of each other. You know that. They'll be okay. Just don't worry. I can see where Ella gets it from." Odd whispered in her ear. Ally smiled lightly.
"Okay," Ally muttered. Odd smiled one of his famous smiles and wrapped his arms tighter around her. Ally smiled grew bigger when she felt Odd burry his head in her golden brown hair and smell it like it always did.
"It smells good…" he muttered. He closed his eyes and smelt it again. Ally giggled gently. "You know…I miss it being long like it was before…" he whispered to her.
"Well, at least it ain't no guys cut. It's just a little past shoulder length," Ally whispered back to him.
"Yeah but I like it to your mid back," he said. Ally's hair was short now. She cut it shorter for some reason and now it was an inch past her shoulders.
"I thought it was your pride?" Odd asked her.
"It was till I had those three explosive bombs of wonder," Ally said referring to her three kids. Odd chuckled.
"Okay, lets get to bed now. You seem tired." Odd whispered. Ally yawned.
"Yup. I am tired," she yawned. Odd kissed her on the cheek and let her go. He walked over to his alarm clock while Ally put up the spear. They both climbed into bed and Odd turned off the lamp.
"I love you sweetie." Odd said to Ally.
"Love you too." Ally and Odd laughed after remembering what Dow had said earlier.
"He can be so like you when you were young," Odd said.
"I know," Ally said, "That's what scares me about him," they were both quiet for a moment then Ally sighed.
"Now Ally! Don't you start thinking about that again! You all ready have enough gray hairs! You old hag!" Odd laughed. Ally punched him hard in the arm.
"OW! That was my ARM!" Odd yelled out, every word he said he made louder and sound retarded. Ally laughed and scooted closer to him. She put her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around him.
"You retard." She laughed.
"I'm not a retard,"
"Yes ya are,"
"No, I'm not,"
"Yes you are,"
"Fine, you win. But you have to be one too,"
"No! I don't wanna be one,"
"Fine! Then our kids have to,"
"No, I don't want them to be,"
"I can't win can I?" Odd asked. Ally laughed.
"Nope. You can't win," she giggled. Odd sighed and wrapped one of his arms around her.
"I never can,"
"Yup," Ally laughed again. Odd sighed again but smiled.
"Okay, I'm tired. Time to sleep." Ally yawned.
"Kay, good night,"
"Night sweetheart," Ally yawned. She cuddled closer to him and closed her eyes.
It didn't take long for Ally to fall to sleep. Before Odd knew it, Ally was out cold on him. He smiled at her light breathing. Odd couldn't sleep for some reason. Something was keeping him up. He decided that maybe he was hungry, which he always is. So he carefully moved Ally's head off his chest and unwrapped her arms from around him. He did his best not to wake her up. He walked out of their room and went to check on his kids. He went by Idalli's room and he could hear him lightly snoring. He went by the twins bedroom. He could see Dow on top and hear him breathing. But he couldn't hear Ella. He walked into the room and saw Dow on the top bunk asleep. But the bottom bunk was empty. Odd turned around to go find Ella. On his way out he almost stepped one purple rectangle shaped case. He picked it up. He thought it must have fallen off the dresser. He put it in his pocket and left the room.
He went into the kitchen and got some of Ally's home made chocolate cake. He wolfed the piece down fast and took a swing of milk before searching for Ella. He walked around the house listening for her. But he couldn't hear anything. He walked out side but he still didn't hear her. Then he thought of something. Ella would always go to one place when she was in that "mood". He found the latter on the side of the house. He climbed up it slowly making no noise. When he got to the top of the house he could see a female figure sitting near the edge of the roof hugging her knees close to her. Odd walked quietly up to her.
"Now, I wonder how I knew you'd be up here?" Odd questioned to her.
"Cuz every time I'm in the "mood" I go to the roof and just sit here looking up at the sky," Ella said with no emotion in her voice. Odd sighed and sat down next to her.
"Aw firefly, come on now. Don't get all sad on me. Be happy. What happened is over now,"
"I know that papa its just…" Ella mumbled off.
"Just what?" Odd asked her.
"Its just Dow! He was…well…he was crying. You know it ain't like him to cry," Ella said quietly.
"I know but he was in pain,"
"But he has been in pain before and he never cried like that before. Come to think of it he never has in like eleven years! Till now…" Ella remarked. "I could feel that he was crying the most because he was scared. Dow's never scared. Or he never cries because he's scared. I'm the one that does that. The twin that does that…Not him." She said in a sad voice.
"Ella," Odd sighed putting a hand on her shoulder. "It was something he did for the first time. There's a first time for everything. He's okay. You know it. He'll be better in the morning and we'll act like this never happened."
"But how can we do that? It did happen and only on our second day here! I'm sorry daddy but that might be too hard for me," Ella sighed. Odd looked at his knees. She said "daddy", the one word she'd call him when she was scared, worried, sad, or sorry. He knew she wasn't sorry, but she was sad, worried, and most of all scared. He was thinking of something to say to that. Her using daddy made him uneasy and egger to make her happy again.
"Ella you have to try. I mean come on! Tomorrows you're first day at school. You got to be happy. Besides you being sad is giving your mother gray hairs or more gray hairs," Ella smiled and giggled a little.
"Yay, we're happier," Odd said.
"Yeah I guess. But yer right! I have to be happy for tomorrow. I mean, how am I going to make friends being down and worried?" Ella said looking at her dad with a smile.
"You're right firefly," he said smiling. He touched her face with his hand. He could still see worry in her eyes. He touched her other cheek with his other hand and moved her hair back. His thumbs found her ears and he gently rubbed her ears. She smiled big and shivered. She laughed out loud and pulled away from him. He smiled. Ella was a little ticklish on her ears. She had sensitive ears or sensitive skin on her ears, just like Odd had. (A/N: AT: We don't know if Odd really has sensitive ears but in this story he does so…yea)
"Dad! Stop," she said leaning back some. He laughed and pulled her closer. He gave her a tight hug and she hugged him back.
"I'll stop firefly, if you stop worrying," he said in a whisper. Ella sighed.
"Okay, fine. I'll stop worrying, now you have to stop. That tickles." Ella reasoned. Odd let her go and she crossed her legs. She tilted her head up to the stars. She sighed and frowned.
"This ain't like back at home," she whispered. "You can see'em better there," Odd looked up too.
"Yeah I know. The first time your mother showed me the night sky in the country side in Texas I was amazed. I had never seen a night sky so clear before and so many stars in the sky. It was beautiful," Odd told his daughter. Ella looked at him and smiled. She could tell her dads mind was drifting off but he wasn't thinking about the sky. He was thinking about her mother.
"Thinking about Mama again papa?" Ella asked all ready knowing the answer.
"How come you always know?" her dad asked her. She smiled.
"Don't ya think I'd know my own father by now?" she asked with a chuckle in her voice.
"Ha. Yeah, I'm sure you would and do. But you know I can't help it. I love your mother more than anything in the world. Well, besides your brothers and you." Odd said not taking his eyes off the sky. "Your mother amazed me at a young age. Your age. I'm sure you know that enough by now but it was strange. Some people said we wouldn't go on for ever like we had hoped for. But look at us now. I met her when I was thirteen. Now I'm thirty-eight. We've been with each other for twenty-five years. Twenty-five…" Odd muttered the last part.
"Twenty-five? That's a while. Didn't you ever want to go on and go out with other people?" Ella asked.
"At times when your mother and I would fight, yes I would think that. But I never did. I was too much in love with her. She is my true love." Odd said smiling bigger. Ella smiled too seeing her dad smile that way.
"Well, I'm glad mama chose you over a billon of other men in the world. Yer awesome. Always there when I need ya," Ella said quietly. Odd looked at her.
"Any time you need me just call. I'll listen. That's what I'm here for anyway. You can call me in the middle of the night, I won't care." Odd said to her.
"Thanks papa," Ella yawned. "But I'm still not all the way happy," she said. Odd thought for a moment then remember the case he almost stepped on earlier. He pulled it out of his pocket.
"Here, I think this belongs to you," he said to Ella. She took it from him and grinned.
"Thanks," she said.
"Play," Odd said.
"Huh?"
"Play. I know you wanna," Odd teased. Ella nodded. She opened the case and pulled out a gold harmonica. Carved on the top of the harmonica was the Davison symbol.
"I know I don't have the Davison name but that looks so good on this thing," she said.
"You might not have the name, but you got the blood." Odd said. Ella looked at him.
"Yeah, I guess I do," she whispered.
"Play for me. It might make you feel better." Ella nodded and put the harmonica to her lips. She played it so smoothly. It sounded really southern and really on the parry sounding. Ella loved to play her harmonica when she was alone or in some mood that seemed good to play at. Or she'd play when she was down to try to get herself happy or when she was getting fired up. Harmonica aren't always played slow they can be played fast and energetic just like almost every instrument.
Odd watched one of her hands shake fast as she played making the sound vibrate a little. She finished and smiled. She already felt happier.
"That's was good," Odd said.
"Playing the harmonica ain't that hard," Ella said.
"Well, its pretty good that you can make a song up on it out of the blue," Odd said.
"Yeah I guess," she muttered.
"You feel better?" Odd asked.
"Yeah!" Ella said with a grin like one of the millions that Odd has. He smiled the same way back.
"I'm glad. But now it's off to bed young lady. Tomorrows school, remember?" Odd asked.
"Yeah, I do." Ella said. Odd stood up and he helped her up. She stood up dusting off her light purple pajama pants. Odd climbed down the latter then held the latter as Ella got down. They both went into the house and Odd shut the door quietly.
"Lets not tell your mom about this. She'll be a little mad that you were up late," Odd said.
"But I thought you told me to always tell the truth?" Ella asked just trying to mess with her dad.
"Well, it ain't lying unless she asks," Odd said.
"What if she does?" Ella asked tilting her head sideways .
"Its okay to not tell her what happened when your father tells you not to. Cuz if you do tell her that's disobeying me," Odd said a little sternly. Ella smiled and nodded.
"Okay father! Whatever ya say!" Ella said smiling big. Odd chuckled and shook his head.
"You're too much like me. Now off to bed firefly." He hugged her and kissed her soft cheek.
"Night firefly, love you,"
"Night papa. Love ya too!" Ella quietly walked up the stairs. He could barley hear her soft foot steps above him. He smiled and went to his room. He checked on Ella before he made it to his room. He found her already in bed close to slumber. He grinned and went to Ally and his room.
He found Ally still asleep with her arms hugging close to her chest. She was sound asleep and it looked like she was trying to find something. Odd slowly got back in bed and got close to her. Right when his skin touched her soft, gentle skin she grabbed his arm and pulled him closer. He was used to her doing this in her sleep. He swung his other arm around her and pulled her closer. He heard her mutter something about kids. He suppressed a small laugh and put his head on top of hers.
"Sweet dreams sweetie," he whispered before falling off to sleep his self.

B91: (Watch's AT walk away in disbelief.) That's new. She ain't even going to break the camera. This is strange. I guess the camera was spared this time. (Suddenly a window breaks some where and a spear goes right in the camera) WTF? We don't even have a window in this room! How'd the hell did that happen? (sighs) Well, I'll have to fix the camera again anyway. Yay……. (puts duck tape on it and takes gum out and sticks it on the camera) This is going to take a while...
