Well here it is... ENJOY!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bianca and Candice woke up the next morning to the sound of the alarm clock going off. Bianca almost threw at the opposite wall but resisted the urge and turned it off gently. She noticed that baby Candice was gone.
"Mum must have taken her when she left" Candice said, getting out of bed with much force. "Which classes are we teaching first?"
Bianca was in the middle of getting her clothes from the wardrobe.
"We have to teach the little ones how to do ballet first. Then we have self-defense and hip hop." Bianca answered.
They had showers at the same time. Bianca showered in the bathroom in the hall and Candice snuck into Gabriella's bathroom while they were sleeping.
Five minutes later they were both dressed. They were wearing stockings and a ballet dress. They had to dress like that but usually changed after, into something more comfortable.
Bianca grabbed the keys, some money and a bag with different clothes n it. Candice took her bag and got into the car.
Bianca wrote a quick letter before following Candice.
They girls were surprised to see the boys waiting by their car. They opened the door and they drove off.
"Is there a dress code for this place?" Sirius asked. The girls laughed.
"No, but because we teach we have to wear this. We change after." Candice answered. Bianca drove hurriedly and halted outside the hall. They all walked in and found a group of little girls standing around with ballerina dresses and shoes on. They were all standing by the bars talking excitedly. Among those girls were Tanisha and Tiana who waved happily... at the boys. They smiled in return.
Bianca said hello to the class and got everyone started,
"Hello girls. Are you ready for your ballet lessons?"
"Yes" they chorused.
"You can sit here" Candice said to the boys as the sat behind Bianca and Candice leaning against the mirror. All the little girls were facing them although not paying much attention.
"Ok everyone we need to warm up. I want you to roll you ankles in circles" Bianca said as the girls followed what she was doing. She changed direction and they followed.
Candice went to go sign them in, and told the manager what their schedule was. She returned next to Bianca and finished the rest of the warm up.
"Ok, touch you toes and legs together." Bianca said leaning down and hugging her legs. She looked behind her to the boys who were currently staring at their bums in the air.
"Stop staring. It's rude" she said standing up.
"Warm up is finished everyone find a spot in the bar" Candice said while Bianca found the right CD to play. She pressed play and classical music started to play.
"Ok we will practice first positions. Ready... five, six, seven, eight" Candice called standing in front of the class as everyone copied her. Bianca walked around the room and helped others that weren't getting it right or that were confused.
"Good work Tanisha" Bianca said winking at her cousin and moving on.
"Ok now second positions, please" Candice called as they all changed.
""Emma turn you toes out a bit more. Yes like that" Bianca said helping a little girl.
Bianca returned to the front of the room and stopped the music.
"Ok now everyone go to the corner of the room and stand in one line please." Bianca ordered as the girls ran.
Bianca and Candice stood in front of them. Candice was about to tell them what to do next when a girl asked her a question, "Who are those boys?"
Bianca zoned out. She had a sudden idea. She ran over to the boys. They looked at her confused and stood up.
"Do you want to help?" she asked,
"Um... how?" James asked confused.
"Please" she asked, sticking her bottom lip out and looking at him with sad.
"I can never refuse a face like that. What do you want me to do?" James smiled.
"Sirius what about you? Let me put it to you this way. You get to lift up Candice and the other girls" Bianca said.
"Ok" he answered.
They walked back to the corner. Bianca whispered to Candice her idea and Candice smiled.
"Ok girls, sit down. I want to show you something." the girls obeyed. "Now because when we do our leaping some of you don't do it right because you think you are going to land on you bottom. Well all you have to do is pretend that someone is lifting you up into the air." Candice explained.
"Ok what we are going to do is spin towards you. Then you lift us up by our waist and put us down slowly." Bianca told James and Sirius.
"Um... i guess we can do that" James said.
"Ok try now while no one is looking" Bianca said. She spun towards him and he lifted her up by her waist. She moved her legs and closed them as he put her on the floor again.
"Yeah, like that" she said.
"Candice, are you ready?" Bianca asked.
"Ok, remember. Pretend someone is lifting you up" Candice said. "Watch this"
The girls watched as the boys lifted Candice and Bianca into the air. When the girls were safely on the ground they looked at the faces of their students. It was shocked and amazed.
"Now watch our leap without them" the girls leaped and it looked the same.
"It is easy. You are just afraid of the landing." Bianca said.
"Now everyone stand up. You are each going to have a turn of leaping with the help of ur two friends" Bianca said pointing at the boys.
The boys had to kneel while helping the little ones because they were very short. Tanisha went first and Sirius was ready to lift her but she looked scared.
"Are you nervous?" he asked. She nodded.
"Don't be. These hands won't drop you, besides I lifted your sister and I think you will be much easier to lift then her" he said, "Ready?"
He lifted her and she kicked her legs put like her sister did.
"Good, now try the kick by yourself" Bianca said. Tanisha ran and leaped and her legs went just as high. She looked so happy, almost ready to cry.
Everyone else had a turn and soon the class was over.
"Ok girls, keep practicing. You can go" Candice said. The girls grabbed their things and left. Candice and Bianca had a drink of water and offered the boys some as well.
"We are just about to get changed." Bianca said. She and Candice changed in the bathrooms and were out just in time as people showed up for the self defense class.
Candice and Bianca were allowed to wear anything for the lessons and were wearing a black track pants and matching blue tops saying 'Instructor'.
This class was for both boys and girls and therefore some of the boys were sitting on the floor and the girls were stretching.
"Ok everyone warm up" Bianca yelled over the noise. The class obeyed and after a few minutes they began. There were mats placed in the middle of the room. Bianca and Candice stood on the mats as everyone stood around waiting for them to start.
"Ok, looks like we have a few new comers. So I am going to have to ask you to come forward please." Bianca said kindly. A tall man stepped forward and smiled down at her. She was after all only up to his elbow.
"Hi I'm Bianca and this is Candice. Welcome." Bianca said.
"I'm George" he answered.
James and Sirius stood up behind the group watching to see what they were going to do.
There was one other person that that was new. His name was Mark.
"Now for us to know what your strengths and weaknesses are we need you to fight us. Don't feel embarrassed or go easy on us, everyone had to do the same thing when they joined." Bianca said.
Everyone stepped back as Bianca and George faced each other on the mat.
"Ok, don't be nervous." Bianca said. George shrugged.
James and Sirius had a really bad feeling about this but Candice gave a reassuring look. It helped a little bit but not much. Bianca was still going to a fight a man that was so much taller than her.
George leaned forward to punch Bianca with all hid might but she just grabbed his fist and bent it backwards. Everyone was surprised but George tried again. He did the same thing only to be locked and pushed to the floor.
Bianca didn't move from her spot and was standing with her hands by her side looking and the man on the floor. He seemed to be getting frustrated and angry. He stood up and punch again this time grabbing her by her waist.
She wasn't surprised and kept the same face. She kicked him in the knee making him fall to his knee. She grabbed his hand and swung him around so he fell onto his back with a large thump.
"Now I guess most of you were thinking he is going to win or hurt me really badly. That is because he is bigger than me. Lesson number 1: Someone may be bigger then you but your technique matters more than appearance or actual strength." Bianca said to everyone. They all smiled and nodded.
Bianca helped George and they both got off the mat. Candice walked onto the mat with Mark and faced each other.
Bianca stood next to James and Sirius. They looked at her but she didn't look worried or hurt in anyway. Candice nodded to Mark and he moved forward for the hit. She locked her arm in front of her head and instead of hurting Candice he hurt himself.
"Lesson 2: If you are blocking make sure it is done properly. If it is you will hurt the opponent if not you may break a bone." Candice said. Mark tried to grab her behind. She grabbed his arm spun him around and kicked his knee making him fall on the floor.
"Lesson 3: If you are being attacked you first instinct is to kick of hurt the person in their groin. But id the person is pumped up with drugs then it will take them a while to realize they have been hurt. You can always get them in the knee because this will throw them off balance, giving you enough time to run away from them." Candice explained.
"Ok, now everyone pair up take a punching bag" Bianca said. Everyone did as they were told and practiced their kicking and punching.
The lesson basically consisted of punching and some people were able to break boards with their foot. "Ok guys. We don't have anymore time but I will see you tomorrow" Bianca said as everyone left with their belongings.
It was almost lunch time and the girls had one more lesson before they finished work for the day. The next class was hip hop which they enjoyed the most because it was fun and some of the people in the class were funny.
The girls were sitting down talking to the boys when more people came in. Everyone started stretching while they were waiting for everyone to come.
"Ok everyone. Are you ready to dance? Today is going to be a tough lesson, so you better be prepared" Bianca said.
Bianca moved over to the CD player and found the right song to do. While Candice did a few extra stretches with everyone.
"Ok ready?" Bianca said. "Now we are doing the dance we have been working on for the past few weeks. Forget about the moves and dance like you mean it" Bianca said putting the music on.
Because the class was older the girls didn't have to face them when dancing, instead they faced the two boys in front, leaning up against the mirror.
"Five, six, seven, eight" Bianca called as everyone started dancing. The boys watched as everyone moved fast with the music and doing very cool moves. They got about half way through and stopped.
"Ok now we are going to watch you now. We could see some people messing up the moves in the mirror, so it better be better this time" Candice said.
"If you don't do it right then you have to do fifty push ups and sit ups." Bianca added everyone groaned. The music started again and Candice counted them in. They watched as everyone danced their hearts out. When the music they were all puffing.
"Are you tired?" Bianca asked, smiling.
"Yes" they all chorused.
"Good. That means you were dancing properly. Now I want everyone to get into groups of four and make up a little dance, just to see how well you are doing." Candice said.
Everyone separated and worked in their corners. Bianca and Candice paced the room helping others if they needed help with moves and so on. The lesson basically continued like that for most of the time until two minutes before the end.
"Well guys it looks like we don't have time to see everyone's dances so we will see them tomorrow. Lets just do the dance one more time then you can go" Bianca said. The dance was completed and everyone left soon after that. The girls sighed when the hall was empty and dropped to the floor.
"I am getting too old for this" Candice said lying on the floor breathing heavily.
"You are not even seventeen yet" Sirius said.
"Wait how do you know?" Candice said lifting her head up and looking at him.
"You told me the other day" he answered; she shrugged and flopped on the floor again.
"What's the time?" Bianca asked sitting up and doing to splits to stretch her muscles again.
"Um... 2:30" James answered watching her with raised eyebrows.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing" he said
"Stop lying I can tell when someone is lying to me. I have learnt from Candice. She always lies" Bianca stated.
"Shut up, I do not" Candice exclaimed.
"You just did then, and you know it" Bianca said pointing.
"Whatever" she said turning away.
"Doesn't that hurt?" James asked, looking at her legs.
"Not really, I have done heaps of times before that why, but if you try it i can tell you now it will hurt" Bianca told sipping her water.
"Wanna make a bet?" Sirius said. He stood up and spread his legs apart. Slowly he slid to the floor. The closer he got to the floor the more his face changed into a painful cringe. Bianca, Candice sand James watched in amusement as he tried desperately to stay brave. He gave up.
"OW, MY PRECIOUS ANACONDA. IT HURTS!" he yelled, falling to the floor holding his crouch. They burst out laughing.
"Anaconda?" Candice asked.
"Well it is big. What did you think it was small or something?" he asked rolling on the floor. By then Bianca and James were laughing so hard, tears were coming from their eyes as they clutched their sides.
They laughing died down when Bianca's phone rang.
"Candice why is it that people always call my phone and not yours. Yours is never on" Bianca said.
"Well that's because Robert, David, Ben and Jonathon keep calling me. They can't get over me, but hey I can't blame them for that" Candice said smirking. This got Sirius' attention.
Bianca rolled her eyes," Hello?"
"Hey, how you doing?" her brother was on the other end.
"Aight, you?" Bianca asked.
"Yeah me too" he said. They both cracked up laughing. They use to do that ever since they were young and they still find it funny.
"So, what can I do you for?" Bianca asked
"Where are you?" Nick asked.
"I just finished work. Candice and I are packing our things up now. Then we are going to lunch at the 'place of the undecided'." Bianca answered. "Why?"
"Well I am just calling to see if you found any information on Aunty Joan's birthday, otherwise known as 'Birthday thing'" Nick asked.
"Birthday thing? How original. You are quite the genius aren't you?" Bianca said sarcastically.
"Well, we can discuss the name later. So anything to report?" Nick said again.
"No nothing so far, but i have a feeling that we are close to finding out the answer." Bianca said.
"Ok well call me if anything out of the ordinary happens"
"Ok, I will get my peoples to call your peoples." Bianca said.
"Ok, so in other words you will get Candice to call me when you have an idea?" Nick said.
"Basically yeah."
"Ok, well I have to go. I am taking Belinda out for lunch so we can talk later" nick said.
"Ok, bye"
"Later" nick said and they hung up the phone.
"That was nick wasn't it?" Candice asked.
"Yep. Can we go now? I am so hungry" Bianca said. They all got up and walked to the car.
"Wait can we go home first and change. I look terrible" Candice said.
"Yeah" Bianca answered. They quickly drove home. Bianca and Candice went inside to get changed while James and Sirius went to get money from their house.
--------------------------------------------------
Bianca and Candice walked in the door and were about to go up the stairs to their room when they heard people talking in hushed tones. They quietly walked and hid behind the couch. In the kitchen was Gabriella, Brian and Candie's parents, Taryn and Mike.
Bianca and Candice sat quietly and listened.
"Do you think they would mind?" Gabriella asked.
"Well I don't think so. They have done it before and it is only for two days" Taryn said rocking Baby Candice in her arms.
"They have done it before but not with all the kids" Mike added.
"Well it isn't like they can't handle them" Brian said.
"Well I don't know. But we are going to have to ask them soon because if they plan something then we have to take them with." Gabriella said. This got the girls attention as they listened more.
"Well, we can have a dinner tomorrow and ask them then" Brian said.
The girls wanted to listen more but they had leave as their parents were walking to the door. They grabbed their things and ran up the stairs and straight to the room. Once the door was closed they sighed in relief.
"What is going on?" Candice thought aloud.
"I don't know but I find it very odd" Bianca said.
They took their clothes out and had the quickest showers and were changing back in their room. Bianca put on her skinny leg jeans and wore them inside her black boots. She wore and pink top with a matching black jacket.
Candice wore her black skinny leg jeans and thongs with a brown strapless top and large golden belt on her hips.
Their hair was of course curly and loose except for Candie's straight fringe hanging near her eyes.
"What do you think? Too much black?" Bianca asked standing for Candice to see her properly.
"No it looks sexy. What jumper should I take?" Candice said looking at her clothes.
"Um... wear the short, gold, knitted thing. You know the one with the short sleeves and sequences on it" Bianca said.
"I have no idea what you are talking about" Candice stated.
"Let me find it" Bianca said sighing. She looked through the wardrobe and found it.
"Oh, that. Why didn't you say that?" Candice said putting it on, they grabbed their keys and ran out the door before their parents saw them. Luckily they escaped, unknown.
The boys were standing by the car. They smiled when they saw the girls. They girls pushed them in the car hurriedly and drove off.
"What's the rush?" James asked.
"Tell you when we get there" Candice said.
"Where exactly is there?" Bianca asked as they realized they didn't have a destination.
"Restaurant on the beach" Candice said without thinking.
"Good enough for me" Bianca said turning the car around.
Once they reached the placed they got out of the car and found a table and sat down.
"Ok so before when we went home" Candice said getting straight to the point, "We heard our parents talking about something. They didn't say enough for us to know"
"Yeah all they said it that they are going to ask someone to do something and they are going to ask tomorrow" Bianca added.
"Well who do you think it is?" Sirius asked.
"Well we didn't hear enough to know exactly" Bianca answered. "oh, Candice call Nick and tell him about what we heard and I will order your food."
"Ok" Candice said pulling out her phone, which was the same as Bianca's. Bianca's phone was silver and Candie's was hot pink. She dialed a number and waited. She told Nick everything that the heard, while Bianca and the boys ordered the food.
The girls were having calamari rings and chips and the boys were having barramundi and chips.
"What did he say?" Bianca asked when Candice hung up the phone.
"He said that we will just have to wait until tomorrow to find out but we get to have some fun tonight" Candice said smiling.
"What do you mean?" Bianca asked. Sirius started laughing because of the way it came out of Candie's mouth.
"Don't be disgusting" Candice said kicking him under the table. he winced in pain but got over it.
"We get to spy on them like before." Candice said. There food came and Candice and Sirius grabbed their plates and began stuffing their face. Bianca and James ate slowly. They didn't like choking on food that much, it wasn't as appealing to them as it was to the other two.
James' phone rang.
"I didn't know you had a phone" Bianca said.
"Yeah I do" he said obviously before answering.
"Hello?" he said, "Hi mum" he said in a bored tone as the others giggled.
"I'm having lunch with Sirius and the girls... No you can't come. I know you want to talk to the girls but you will see them soon enough. There is still a month and a half of the holidays. You can talk to them then" James said. The girls smiled to themselves.
"WHAT! No way. But we were doing stuff with the girls tomorrow. But there are plenty of other days that you can spend with Sirius an I. We spent a whole ten minutes talking to you the other day. Isn't that enough?... Ok fine. Talk to you later. Bye" Jame4s hung up the phone and sulked in his seat.
"What's up?" Sirius asked.
"Mum wants to spend the day with us tomorrow. She thinks it would be nice" James said in a lady voice.
"Aww how sweet. That would be nice" Bianca said
"But I wanted to spend the day with you" he said pouting.
"You can see the day after and besides we will be working again. It isn't fair to ask you to sit there again. Spend the day with your mum tomorrow and you can take us shopping sometime after that" Bianca suggested.
"But haven't you like bought everything from that shopping centre already?" James asked.
"We can go to a different one then. The point is you will spend the day with your parents tomorrow and you will enjoy it. We might even come and visit later" Bianca ending the discussion.
"I will hold you to that." James said.
"Don't worry. I keep my promises" she answered. "Candice stop trying to steal me food. If you want more just ask" Bianca said putting her plate in front of Candice. The boys watched her.
"See how loving I am" she said, making them laugh.
Time passed and soon it was
seven o'clock. They were walking along the beach talking and laughing about things that have happened and sharing childhood stories.
The boys told them about the things they use to do at Hogwarts and that they hold the record of the most detentions ever. They didn't give away to much information although the girls already knew.
"Well it is getting late. We better go" Bianca said.
They walked to the car and drove home. When Bianca and Candice arrived home they dropped the boys off outside their house. As if Mrs. Potter was watching through the window she came outside and greeted them.
"Hello, how are you?" she asked mainly to the girls
"Great and how are you?" Bianca asked her friendly way.
"I'm very good, thanks for asking. Would you like to come inside for a quick chat?" she asked.
"Mum" James said in an annoyed tone.
"I think we have a few minutes to spare, just let us park the car and we will be right over" Bianca said. She turned into the driveway and went inside with Mrs. Potter and the boys.
They went inside and joined Mr. Potter sitting on the couch reading the Daily Prophet.
"Hello Mr. Potter, how are you?" Candice said smiling.
"I'm very well thank you." he answered looking up from his paper.
"I see you are reading the Daily prophet, anything new to report?" Bianca asked sitting down next to James and his mother.
"Well there have been a few deaths but other than that, not really" he said, putting it aside.
"So girls, tell me about yourself" Mrs. Potter said. They exchanged glances before Bianca started.
"Well we are both cousins and have been close since we were babies. I am older by one month. Our parents are South African but we were born here, and as you probably already know we have a very big family. I have an older brother and Candice has two younger sisters."
"Wow, your life must be interesting" Mrs. Potter said.
"Yes very, but that is just how we like it" Bianca added.
"Don't you find it too overwhelming?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Well not really because we have gotten use to being surrounded. We enjoy our quiet time but it isn't really quiet. There is usually a baby crying or a child running around the house" Bianca explained.
"Haven't you ever just broken down from the stress" James mother asked.
"Once or twice but it helped us in a way" Bianca said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well we always say, that if we don't fall down, how are you supposed to know what it is like to get back up again. Does that make sense?" Candice finished.
"It does and it is very wise words coming from two teenagers" Mr. Potter said examining them from afar. "We can see your parents taught you well"
"Thank you Sir" Candice smiled. Bianca's phone and she sighed.
"Sorry" she said getting up and taking the call in the corner.
"Hello?" she said. "Nick I haven't been home yet. Can you call later, I am busy right now. No, I will call you later. Bye" Bianca joined them once again.
"That was her brother. He called wanting to know about a 'case' we are working on" Candice said. She already knew. Bianca nodded in agreement.
"Do you mind me asking?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"No, maybe you can help us. It isn't anything big just a few family things." Candice said.
"I'm listening" Mrs. Potter said.
Once again Bianca and Candice retold the conversation that they overheard and what it could mean. They went over possible ideas but for some reason they didn't fit.
"Well that is a tricky but all I know and can tell you is that they are going to ask someone to do a big favor for at least two days" Mrs. Potter told.
"Really? I wonder who. If it was us they would have told us already. I am just getting annoyed because I want to know who it is and why" Bianca said.
"You will find out when the time is right" Mr. Potter said.
"Thank you so much for your help and listening but we better go home. See if we can find out some more information." Candice said as they rose from their seats.
"It was a pleasure" Mr. Potter said
James parents walked the girls to the door and stepped outside with them. They heard a noise coming from behind the car.
"What was that?" James asked.
"Simba" Bianca and Candice answered straight away.
"Who?" the Aurors asked at the same time.
""My cat Simba. Come on Honey" Bianca said. A ginger cat popped out from behind the car and walked over to the group carefully. Bianca bent down and picked him up.
"Aww he is adorable" Mrs. Potter said patting the cat purring in Bianca's arms.
"Yeah, we are trying to teach him more tricks." Candice said.
"He can do one so far" Bianca told.
"Really? What would that be?" Mrs. Potter asked again.
"Simba, kiss mummy" Bianca said. Simba rubbed his cheek on Bianca's purring happily.
"Wow"
"Simba, kiss the nice lady" Bianca said. Simba jumped from Bianca's arms onto Mrs. Potter's shoulder where he rubbed his cheek against hers as well before jumping on Bianca's shoulder.
"That was wonderful"
"Well my brother thinks he is more like a monkey than anything else because he sits on people shoulders and so on" Bianca stated as they laughed.
"Well we will definitely see you around" Candice said. They kissed Mrs. and Mr. Potter, as well as their boyfriends before crossing the street and going inside.
"Such lovely girls" James parents said before walking inside the house.
"I didn't even know they were South African" Sirius said.
"I know me too" James said. They both went upstairs and had another attempt of trying to play Poker.
"This is boring. It don't explode or anything" Sirius said.
"What do you want to do now?" James asked. They sat there thinking for a minute or two.
"Hey, you wanna wrestle?" Sirius asked with an excited gleam in his eyes.
"Ok" James said lunging forward putting Sirius in a headlock. This continued for a little while until Mrs. Potter walked in and told them to stop with all the thumping.
When she left they were at it again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well guys, there it was!
I hope you didn't get too bored with it but the next chapters will be funny and busy. That is all I can tell you. Keep reading and reviewing,
Thanks so much,
Bianca
