The Secret Is Out Revised
Short Filler

She loved her children they were her world and she would do anything for them to keep them safe, but right she wanted to throttle them. Three days that's when it started three days ago her son came down for breakfast, and didn't make any comment about his sister not being at the table. Then when she had asked him to wake her up, he didn't walk to the bottom the stairs and yell like he had down in the past but had gone upstairs to get her. She brushed it off then instead of coming right back down it had seemed that he had waited for her, stranger still was when they both came downstairs together talking and laughing. She hadn't made a comment not wanting to break up the peaceful moment.
She had watched amazed at how they treated each other over breakfast and then how they had left the house together, her daughter offering to walk her brother to school since it was on her way. For the first time in along time her daughter had left for school giving her enough time to actually make it on time. When the front door closed behind them after they both shouted a quick bye she had to take a moment and sat down. When her husband came downstairs and asked her what was wrong, she explained what had happened and was surprised when he laughed and said to enjoy it while it lasted. She knew he was right and smiled after all how long could it really last knowing her children they would be fighting by dinner time.
Dinner came and went and still they behaved themselves, the next day brought about the same behavior and she did try to enjoy it. Now though she just knew something was going on and she was going to find out what it was. The two of them were sitting down at the table eating breakfast when it happened 'the straw that broke the camel's' both had reached for the last piece of toast each had their hand on it. They smiled at each other and both let go at the same time.
"You take the last piece Sammy, I'm done." Serena offered and pushed the plate across the table towards him.
"Thanks sis, but I'm good besides you got it first." Sammy pushed the plate backed to his sister smiling and reached for his glass of milk. Irene's eye began to twitch this was not normal; slamming her hands on the table she startled both of her kids as she stood between them.
"That is enough, I want answers why are you both being so nice to each other?" she demanded and saw the look of panic in her children's eyes.
"Gee, mom I don't know what you mean, you're always getting after us to be nicer to each other." Sammy said quickly noticing how his sister was gnawing on her bottom lip. After the night he learned his sister's secret they had both decided to act like nothing happened, but when he had gone up to wake his sister up the next day he just didn't have it in him to be a pest. He had gone upstairs that morning to check on her to see if she really was all right instead of yelling for her that had been the start. They had left that morning together because he had question so the two of them walked together Luna walking with them just staring at him and giving him the creeps as they talked. He asked if they could meet after school and they did talking again but not about her being Sailor Moon but just about stuff. After that it just seemed wrong to go back to they way they were, and had started being nicer to each other.
"Since when have either of you every done what I asked about being decent to each other. There is being nice and then there is going out of your way being extra, extra nice young man, like lending your sister your new issue without her whining about it." Irene leaned in close to stare her son in the eyes. Sammy gulped okay maybe he had gone to far in being nice, he opened his mouth to say something, but wasn't sure what to say.
Serena quickly grabbed the last toast and stuffed it in her mouth and started talking with her mouth full.
"Give it up Sammy I told you mom would figure out something was up." Crumbs of bread flying out of her mouth, she gave her brother a wink.
"Meatball head can't you eat a piece of toast like a normal person, but thanks for going back to normal you lost the bet."
"That's not fair I only lost the bet because you over did the whole being 'nice' to each other. You cheated so it doesn't count." Serena yelled at him from across the table.
"Ha! You're just mad because now you have to clean my room for a month." Irene looked at both of her kids wondering if they were telling the truth about a bet it was possible and something they would try, standing back up she placed her hands on both of their chest as the had both stood up and were now yelling about rules and cheating. It was nice to know that her children were back to normal.
"That's enough out of the two you! Serena you're older and should know better than to make bets with your brother. Sammy lending your manga to your sister of your own free will of course was tip me off that something was going on. Now the two off you knock it off and get ready for school neither of you won the bet is off." They both opened their mouth to say something but she gave them both a hard stare that had them closing their mouth. They both spun around and left the room she could hear them bickering as they grabbed their books and lunches she heard the front door open and slam shut. Letting out a happy sigh she began clearing the breakfast table.
"It looks like the kids are back to acting normal." Her husband said as he walked into the kitchen he had heard the yelling from upstairs and waited till they were gone before coming down he knew it had been too good to be true.
"Yes, isn't it wonderful." His wife said as she turned to face him a smile on her, shaking his head he kissed his wife and went to work not sure what was going on and not sure if he wanted to.
A/N –sighs- it's been way, way, way, way too long since I wrote anything, well that's not really true I have written plenty in all of my notebooks. I have so many of them laying around with different chapters to about a dozen different stories. Anyways I thought I would write a quick little filler for this story, and try to update this and another story. It's sad when a writer says it's been years since I posted anything and to see that it is true is even worse.
For those who have read this story and waited for it to be updated I want to thank you, and feel free to email me and nag at me to update.
