When night fell, Kai prepared to put the twins to bed in the room that probably used to belong to Liv.

He looked down at Lizzie in his arms, who had practically glued herself to his side after the incident earlier.

Kai had noticed that she had been far quieter than before. Josie had noticed it too and had been trying to cheer her sister up.

It worked slightly.

Kai also noticed the slight smell coming from her and her sister. Bath time then. Yay.

Kai corralled Josie into the bathroom and started the water. He waited until it was warm but not too hot.

Once it was the right temperature, he puggled the drain.

"Do we have to take a bath?" Josie whined.

"Yes, you two are stinky bugs," Kai said, setting Lizzie down next to her twin.

"I am not," Lizzie exclaimed, offended. "Josie maybe but not me."

"Hey!" Josie interrupted, sending a glare at her sister.

Kai smirked. "Oh, but you are," He said, poking her nose.

"Are not," Lizzie said in disagreement as she shook her head.

Kai's hands shot forward and began tickling Lizzie, causing her to erupt into squeals and giggles.

"Un-uncle Kai!" Lizzie said, shrieking with laughter.

Josie was laughing as she watched her sister try and escape Kai's grasp.

"S-stop!" Lizzie exclaimed through her laughter.

"Nope," Kai said, grinning. "Not until you agree that you smell."

"F-fine. I s-smell," Lizzie said, giving in.

Kai stopped tickling her and Lizzie's giggles slowed to a stop.

Kai turned to Josie. "What about you? Do you smell?" He asked, mischievously.

Josie started nodding rapidly. "I do. I smell like poo-doo," She said, quickly.

Kai snorted. "Alright, let's do this," He said, clapping his hands.

Kai helped them out of their clothes and into the lukewarm water. Then he started pouring water over their heads.

"Lizzie, head back," Kai ordered and she did as he said.

He started rubbing the kid's multi-purpose shampoo into her hair, keeping an eye on Josie who looked like she was planning something.

Once Kai was done shampooing Lizzie's hair, he started to pour water over her hair after he ordered her to close her eyes.

Once her hair was no longer full of shampoo, he gave her a rubber ducky to keep her busy as he turned to Josie, who was grinning innocently.

What was she planning?

Then Josie pushed her hands under the water causing it to splash right into his face.

Both of the twins started giggling at his wet face.

Kai grabbed a hand towel and started drying his face with an exasperated sigh. Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lizzie about to do the same thing her sister did.

"Lizzie, don't," He said, warningly, which stopped her right in her tracks. "If you do that, we won't get the ice cream tomorrow."

The two girls' eyes widened and they looked at each other frantically.

"We're sorry," They said in unison.

Kai nodded in approval and started on Josie's hair.

Once he was done with that, he used body wash to clean their bodies, which caused them to squirm.

When he was completely finished, he lifted them out of the tub and wrapped them in towels. Then, he unplugged the drain and started drying off the twins to the best of his abilities.

However, he did use some magic to dry their hair faster.

Then, he put them into their pajamas and took them to his sister's old room. He got them into bed and tucked them in handing them their stuffed animals.

Lizzie named her stuffed wolf, Fluffy, and her panther, Darky. While Josie named her tiger, Stripes, and her dragon, Pinky.

Kai had suggested far better names but for some reason, they refused and chose those ridiculous names.

"Uncle Kai, can you tell us a bedtime story?" Josie asked, shyly. Lizzie looked up at Kai with hope.

"Ok," Kai said, agreeing, making the twins cheer.

Kai got on the bed and sat in between the twins. And they curled into his side.

"Once upon a time, there was a little prince who was different from the rest of his family," Kai started. "He had the ability to take magic from others instead of having his own."

"Like us," Lizzie muttered.

"Yeah," Kai said, softly. "Anyways, this prince was meant to be the future king but his father, an evil tyrant, believed that the prince was unfit to rule because he did not have his own magic."

"The king is a meany," Josie whispered against his side. Lizzie nodded in agreement.

"He was," Kai said, remembering the abuse he went through at the hands of his father.

"What was the prince's name?" Lizzie asked, curiously.

Kai paused as he thought for a moment. "His name was Mal," Kai answered.

"That's pretty," Josie murmured.

Kai stroked Josie's hair, "Yeah, I guess it is," He muttered.

"What happened to Mal?" Lizzie asked, looking up at him, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Well, Mal had a twin sister," He continued.

"Like me and Lizzie?" Josie asked, excitedly.

"Yes. Her name was Osset," Kai said after a moment of thinking.

"That's a weird name," Lizzie said bluntly, making Kai snort.

"Yeah. Anyways, when the twin prince and princess turned twenty-two they were meant to do a special ritual to see which of the two would take the throne from their father. But the evil king was working in the shadows as he knew that Mal would be the one to win against his twin and take the throne," Kai said, making his voice dramatic sounding.

"What did the bad man do?" Josie inquired, looking incredibly focused.

"He created a prison with the rest of his advisors, to lock away the prince, so he may not take the throne," Kai said, and both the twins gasped.

"What happened next?" Lizzie asked, looking shocked.

"The prince learned what his father was planning and turned on his family," Kai said. "Mal was furious and used his magic to make his younger siblings disappear."

"Whoa," Josie whispered in awe.

"Cool," Lizzie said with a grin. "Mal is awesome."

It took all of his self-control not to burst out laughing.

"However, before Mal could make his youngest siblings disappear, his twin sister agreed to do the ritual."

"So Mal won, right?" Josie asked.

"No, because his twin sister went behind his back and joined forces with the evil king and Mal was sent into the terrible prison," Kai said, shaking his head.

"No," Josie said, gasping.

"Mal should have made the evil king go bye-bye," Lizzie said, frowning. "What did Mal do next, Uncle Kai?"

"Mal was trapped in the prison for 18 years," Kai said.

Lizzie's eyes widened and she looked angry for the 'prince', which made Kai crack a smile. While Josie just looked sad.

"Did he escape the prison?" Josie asked hopefully.

"Yes," Kai said, a slight smile on his face. "And when he did, he challenged his family and took back the throne becoming the king."

"Yay," Lizzie cheered, anger forgotten.

"Did he defeat the evil king?" Josie asked, curiously.

"Yes, the king was forced into retreat and when Mal finally found him, he defeated him once and for all," Kai said, watching them in amusement.

"Good," Lizzie said, nodding in approval.

"Did anything else happen after that?" Josie wondered.

"Yes, Mal's twin sister was revealed to be pregnant with twins," Kai said, mouth twitching.

"Really?" Lizzie asked, looking puzzled l.

"Yes, however, when it came time for her to give birth to the baby girls, she did not survive," Kai said, tone sad.

"What happened to the little girls?" Josie asked as if she herself wasn't a little girl.

"Well, the king saw his little nieces and decided to forget the wrongs of his sister and took them in as his own, especially since it was revealed that they were different just like him. And he named the two his heirs and the Gemini Kingdom now had two little princesses that would live the life that the new king was never given," Kai said, finishing the story.

"I like that story," Josie said with a grin.

Lizzie nodded in agreement, before looking at Kai in curiosity. "What were the princesses' names?" She asked.

"Their names we're Princess Elizabeth and Princess Josette," Kai said, after a second of consideration.

"Like us," Josie said with a look of awe.

"Yep, now it's time for bed, kiddos," Kai said, patting their heads.

"Aww," Lizzie said, pouting.

Kai got off the bed and pressed a kiss on both of their foreheads. He turned off the light and went to the door.

Kai glanced back one last time at his nieces. "Goodnight, little princesses..."
