A smug, but almost flirty look on his face, the boy stands like someone who is very sure of himself. A sideways baseball hat sits on his head, covered in camouflage print. His eyes are wide, but somewhat very accusing. Three freckles dot either side of his face, lining up with the messy spikes of purple hair emerging from the sides and front of his hat. An orange hoodie with a dark red 16 and lightning bolt sits on his frame, the back of his neck covered with the black hood. Baggy blue jeans lay in folds around his legs, almost covering all of his tan shoes. His hands shoved in the pocket of his hoodie, he raises an eyebrow as he smiles wryly at Lee.

"How could I forget you?" She says almost dreamily, flashing him a smile before turning back to the friends before her. "This is our brother, Dana. Dana, this is-"

Marie running into her and pushing her off of the path cuts her off. "He's actually my brother. He's their half b-"

She is cut off too, this time by May head-butting her to fall in a heap on top of Lee. "He's our brother too, right Lee?" She says fiercely, snorting.

Lee nods, pushing Marie off of her and standing up and clenching her fists. Dana quickly steps in between them, holding them apart. "Ladies! You know how much I love being fought over by you, but not in front of company!" He says, gesturing to the shivering group of kids in front of them.

Hannah grips Double-D's hand harder as the girls hug their brother. "Yeah, good idea!" May says lovingly.

Marie nods, along with Lee. Dana smiles, hugging his sisters back. "Now, introduce yourselves." He says.

The girls nod and smile, stepping forward. "I'm Lee Kanker." Lee says, fluffing her hair with one hand.

"I'm Marie Kanker." Marie says in turn, giggling and wriggling her fingers in a wave.

"And I'm May Kanker!" May says, looking at Ed and smiling shyly.

"We're the Kanker sisters!" They chorus, moving closer to the group.

Hannah gulps, blinking. Moving Double-D's hand off of her mouth and holding it at her side, she speaks nervously. "I'm Hannah." She mutters, looking at the ground.

Dana raises both his eyebrows, looking interested, and smiles. "It's a pleasure." He says with a small hint of sarcasm, his smile widening to reveal a missing tooth on his right side.

Hannah doesn't notice, however, but just holds on to her friend's hand. Ed lifts his head, staring at the boy. Dana stares back at him, then quickly turns his back on them, pulling his sisters to him and beginning to speak in hushed tones.

The friends split up, standing in a line. Hannah looks at the boys on either side of her. "What are they doing?" She whispers, very nervous.

Eddy shrugs. "Beats me. They always do weird things."

Ed nods, looking dazed. "Yep."

Double-D frowns, looking puzzled. "He's Marie's blood brother? Then why are their voices on opposite wavelengths?"

Hannah looks over at him, shrugging. "Maybe the dad's voice gene is recessive in Marie and dominant in Dana, and the reverse for mom's voice gene."

Double-D looks at her, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "Quite possibly! That was very good!"

Hannah smiles, blushing a little. "Thanks."

Eddy rolls his eyes. "Gah, you guys sound like a pair of lovebirds! Well shut up and pay attention, we got a bigger problem here!" He says the last a little worriedly, staring as the Kanker sisters and brother break apart and stare at the friends.

"Since Dana and Hannah are both new," Marie starts, giving her brother an admiring gaze.

May glares at Marie, her arms folded, as Lee finishes. "We thought they could do explore the cul-de-sac together!"

Hannah's eyes go huge and she shakes her head fiercely. "Nuh-uh! No thanks, The Eds have already shown me around!"

Marie frowns, clenching her fists. "What do you mean? Dana's going to show you now!" She snaps, Dana stepping forward. He quietly grabs Hannah by the shoulders, pulling her away from the group before she has time to react. "Let's go." He says suavely, leading her away.

After a few steps, Hannah suddenly snaps around, grabbing his hand and twirling him in a fast circle. "Don't even try it, jerk. I'm onto you." She says harshly, backing up with her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

Dana, recovering from the spin, looks angry for a moment. Quickly moving back to her side, he lets his eyes drop to half-lids and speaks softly. "Onto me? What am I doing wrong, darlin'?"

Hannah pushes him away, making a disgusted face. "Darlin'? Ew, that's so premature. I'm leaving, 'hun.'" She says sarcastically, turning back to where her friends had been standing. The street stands empty, a scrap of paper blowing in the breeze the only sign that humans had ever been there.

Gasping, Hannah whirls around to face Dana, her eyes narrowed.

"Whassamatter, girly? We played fair." Dana says innocently, shrugging and slipping his hands in his pocket of his hoodie.

After a few seconds, Hannah suddenly explodes, singing at the top of her lungs and advancing towards Dana. "You cheated! You all cheated! I can't stand you, you're so mean, you can be so obscene…"She whirls around, striding angrily off in the direction of the cul-de-sac. "That's called, the Tango: Maureen." She sings over her shoulder, speaking afterwards. "Study up on it, loser!"

Dana watches her run off, muttering to himself with malice in his voice. "I have, girly. Let's dance a tango to-" He stops, pointing to his shoes and smiling evilly. "At least you'll have tangoed at all."
