The Twins
.
.
9-year-old Alex and Max were in their room, each on each side of said room, sitting in front of their desktop computers. Both were typing away furiously and with great speed.
"You almost done Max?" asked Alex.
Max continued typing ignoring his sister after she asked the question for 30 seconds, "And . . . there . . . Just finished,"
Alex smiled and finished typing as well, "Well, now at the count of three, we'll send the code out. . . . One . . . Two . . . Three,"
Both pushed the 'Enter' button and waited for the result.
16-year-old Jack was in his room playing DOOM on his Xbox One console, he was in the zone, killing demons left and right, he was pumped. But his fun stopped when the game froze and started to glitch out on him.
"The hell?" he stood up and waited for the game to stop glitching out.
After a minute, the glitching stopped, Jack used his controller to move his game avatar, but the game was still frozen. Then the screen turned black, then a message appeared on the screen, with the same font the developers used for DOOM. It read; "You Suck!" Then the Xbox turned itself off.
Jack stood there for a couple of minutes, "Those little bastards,"
Both Max and Alex rushed back into their room laughing after listening Jack's reaction with their malicious code.
"Oh, that was great," Max said trying to catch his breath.
Alex was still laughing, "It was,"
Minutes later, Alex suggested, "Elizabeth?"
Max smirked and said, "Let's see what she's doing,"
Both left their room and went downstairs, they saw their 18-year-old sister Elizabeth was with a girl that she meet back at Beacon, they were both watching YouTube on the TV and both were laughing at some ridiculous video. Both twins looked at each other, nodded and went back to their room. Again, both were typing away furiously, talking to one another to set up the perfect prank in their code.
"You found the pictures?" asked Max.
"Yeah, Liz's phone is so easy to crack,"
"Send them to me,"
Both continued to type, eyes going over the line of code they've written. They smirked when they confirmed to one another that they finished their code.
"Let's record them," Alex said holding up a video camera
Max just smirked, he sent the code, and both left their rooms, positioned themselves in the stairs and awaited the arrival of their code to the TV.
Claire Fray was Elizabeth's latest crush, she hadn't had a crush on someone since the incident with Danielle three years ago, she's gone on few dates and had a few girlfriends here and there, but they were never serious, for her anyway. When she meet Claire, she felt that same feeling when she had a crush on Danielle, and compared to Danielle, Claire is better; she's the top of her class and had a great personality, fights for rights for everyone, including faunus. Claire is also involved in Student Government, which was a big plus for Weiss when she first meet Claire. Claire is also very beautiful, enough to make Jack jealous of his sister, Claire always housed a stern face, while at the same time looking compassionate and kind. Her hair is dirty-blonde and her hair style is semi-short pixie hair, parted with the right having romantic waves.
Unknowing to Elizabeth, Claire feels the same way, mostly, she always dated boys and after meeting Elizabeth, she was enchanted by Elizabeth, her hair style reminiscing of her mother, Wiess, while having red accents in her hair, and her personality, the strict personality that she tries to keep, but fails when she gets all hyper and excited.
Without noticing, both girls were staring at each other and when they realized it, they broke their gazes and started to blush furiously. Elizabeth was about say something until the TV started to glitch, the screen then started to show pictures of both Elizabeth and Claire, most of the pictures were ones that Elizabeth took on her phone. Soon, voices of two little kids started singing and the song made both girls blushed even more.
"Clair and Elizabeth sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" the kids sang.
After the little song, the TV turned itself off. Both girls just stood there, Elizabeth looked at Claire and smiled nervously, "Excuse me for a second,"
Elizabeth then stood up and raced upstairs.
"Oh shit!" Max exclaimed when he saw her sister racing with a murderous look on her face towards them.
Both Alex and Max stood from their place in the stairs and ran back to their room, once in, they closed the door behind them and both lean on the door to prevent Elizabeth from coming in.
"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL BOTH OF YOU!" shouted Elizabeth through the door.
After a couple of minutes of screaming threats to her siblings, Elizabeth returned downstairs, Claire turned to see Elizabeth and asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, um . . . my younger siblings, the twins, Alex and Max . . . they're big computer nerds and recently took up coding, so they've been playing pranks like this ever since,"
"Oh . . . well . . . it was pretty funny," said Claire with a small smile.
Elizabeth looked up and said, "Really?"
Clair nodded and stood up, "Listen I got to go back to Beacon so I'll see you back at campus then, also let me know if we're still on for next week,"
"Yeah definitely," Elizabeth answered immediately.
Claire smirked, "I just hope the others aren't able to come, gives us more time to get to know each other even more,"
Elizabeth just stood there, mouth opened and unable to form a complete word, Y-y-yeah, ahem, I-yeah, that'll be great,"
Claire smiled, she went and placed a small kiss on Elizabeth's cheek and said, "Text me later Rose,"
"You got it," responded Elizabeth.
After Claire left, Elizabeth swooned and jumped high into the air in celebration.
"YOUR WELCOME!" shouted Max from the top of the stairs after witnessing the exchange between his sister and Claire.
Elizabeth simply rolled her eyes and flipped him off.
The entire Rose family was gathered around the kitchen counter having their weekend dinner after Elizabeth left to go to Beacon last year, they made sure that she returned home either Saturday and/or Sunday to spend time with her family and have dinner, only when school work and team work would permit. Elizabeth is currently in her second year at Beacon and Jack is in his senior year at the newly relocated Signal in Vale, recently he's been preparing to go to Beacon for next year.
"Uncle Qrow gave me tips about the entrance exam for Beacon that I'll have to take next week, I'm very excited," said Jack after shoving chicken in his mouth.
"You'll probably drop dead from choking before going to Beacon," mumbled Elizabeth
"What was that?"
"Nothing," Elizabeth smiled at Jack to which he just narrowed his eyes at her and continue eating his dinner.
"You know, Max and Alex are about to start combat school soon, four years from now," said Ruby.
"Really? Damn, time flies fast huh, you two will be in Beacon as soon as we graduate," responded Jack with enthusiasm about his younger siblings.
"If you manage to graduate," Elizabeth smirked, Jack turned to glare at his sister.
Both twins were happy that their family was excited about the prospect of their future, but to completely honest, they didn't want that future, they didn't want the family 'tradition'.
"Actually, moms . . . Max and I have something to tell you," said Alex
Max continued, "We . . . We, really don't want to go to Signal or Beacon,"
Ruby and Weiss were perplexed by that, Weiss then said, "That's fine, we can look for other combat schools in Remnant, ones that you guys will like,"
Both Max and Alex shake their heads, "Moms, you don't understand,"
"Alex and I don't want to go to any combat school in general because-"
"Because we don't want to be huntsmen and huntresses," finished Alex.
Everybody around the table housed a look of shock, except for Jack, frankly, he didn't care, he was proud that his younger brother and sister said something. Everybody expected that Alex and Max were going to follow the 'huntsmen path', the path laid out by their grandparents, parents, and siblings, so Jack was really pleased that they stood up and say they wanted to do something else besides being huntsmen and huntresses.
While his moms and sister were recovering, Jack asked, "So, what exactly you two want to do then?"
"Computers!" both responded.
"Anything to do with computers," continued Max.
"Programming, security,"
"Maybe freelance work, we don't know,"
"We just know that our calling is in computers, besides we're your go to guys for computer problems," Alex stated.
"Everyone except for Jack,"
"At least he knows what he's doing with his computers," finished Alex with a smirk
Jack smiled, Elizabeth and her mothers' recovered from the shock, "Are you sure about this, that you guys want to study computers?" asked Weiss.
Both Max and Alex nodded and said, "We are,"
Ruby looked down at her plate, "Ma, are you okay?" asked Alex.
Ruby shook her head, "To be honest, I don't know, I mean . . . I dreamt that all of us to be trained huntsmen and huntresses,"
"Ma, you're not going to make a big deal about this are you?" asked Jack narrowing his eyes slightly at his mother's body language.
"Why don't you guys want to be huntsmen and huntresses? Huh? We're in short supply-" Ruby was cut off by Max.
"The world doesn't have any more grimm threats, we don't need as many huntsmen and huntresses like we did when you two were growing up," Max exclaimed.
"Ma, for crying out loud, don't make it into a big deal," stated Jack.
Ruby stood up and said, "Excuse me, I just need a moment," and left the kitchen and out to the back yard. Weiss was behind her.
Jack look straight at Elizabeth and asked, "You're not going to make a big deal about this are you,"
Elizabeth stood there for a couple of moments before shaking her head, "I'll admit, that I wanted this family to be . . . filled with trained huntsmen, you guys should do what you guys want to do,"
Alex went and hugged her sister, drying off her tears, after Ruby's outburst, Alex was trying to hold back tears, but she couldn't.
"Ma is stubborn as a beowolf, she'll come around eventually," stated Jack continuing eating his dinner.
"Ruby Rose! What the hell was that?" asked Weiss furiously.
Ruby just shook her head, "I don't know Weiss! I . . . god, I just wanted all of us to be huntsmen,"
Weiss sighed, "Ruby, life doesn't work out the way we wanted to, but we have to accept that and move on,"
Ruby sighed, "I just . . . Why don't they want to be huntsmen though? I mean they could study computers, why don't they want to be huntsmen?"
"Maybe because they don't want to, have you considered that? Not everybody wants to be a huntsmen or huntress, they want to do what they want to do," Weiss said, soothing Ruby by rubbing her wife's arms
"Don't be like my father, make them do what you want them to do, have them decide want they want to do all by themselves," finished Weiss.
Ruby chuckled grimy, "I don't want to be like your father,"
"Then just accept that our son and daughter want to do something different than being huntsmen,"
Ruby nodded, "I will,"
Weiss sadly smiled and kissed her wife, "Let's go back inside,"
Both women went back and rejoined their family, Ruby's heart broke at Alex's tear stained face and Max nervous face. She went in front of both of them and said, "I'm sorry for the way I acted, it wasn't a way a mother should react to their children, ever. It may take some time for me to get used to the idea, but know this, I'll always be proud of you two and love you two, always,"
Alex tackled Ruby in a bear hugged and let few of her tears fell, Ruby hugged back whispering 'I'm sorry' to her youngest daughter.
"Thank you, for understanding ma," Alex said after breaking off from the hug.
Ruby caressed her daughter's face, "I love you guys so much, remember that,"
Ruby and Alex hugged again and Max joined in, happy that his family accepted his career choice. Both Weiss and Elizabeth smiled at the sight, Weiss especially was proud at her wife.
"This is great and all, but can we have dessert?" asked Jack.
