When Kai woke up, he could see sunlight streaming through the blinds. He looked down at the twins and tried not to laugh when he saw how they were sleeping.

Lizzie was laying completely on top of him, with her head on his chest. And Josie was laying horizontal on the bed with her head resting next to her sister's on his chest.

Part of him wondered if he was going to be able to get up without waking them as well. But he knew he couldn't.

Guess he would have to wake them up.

Kai shifted and gently nudged both of the twins. Lizzie was the first to wake up as she opened her eyes to look blurrily at him.

"It's time to get up," He whispered.

Lizzie reached up and rubbed her eyes before sitting up and moving off of him. She let out a yawn and looked at her twin, who was refusing to wake.

"Jo!" Lizzie reached over and whacked Josie's head.

Josie startled awake and frowned at her twin feeling annoyed.

Kai sent Lizzie a look. "Lizzie. No hitting your sister," He said, ignoring the part of him that felt like a hypocrite.

"Sorry, Uncle Kai," Lizzie replied, not looking sorry at all.

Josie narrowed her eyes at her twin. "You're a bad sister," She said, glaring.

"Am not," Lizzie responded, looking offended.

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am no-"

"-Girls!" Kai interrupted, rubbing a hand down his face. "It's too early in the morning for you two to be fighting."

The twins exchanged a look

"Sorry, Uncle Kai," They said in unison.

Kai shook his head and got out of bed. He quickly threw on his clothes before helping the twins put on their shoes. He tried to 'brush' the twins' hair with his fingers, so it wasn't as tangled. He needed to buy a brush and new clothes for all of them. But first, breakfast.

"Alright, food first, then clothes," Kai said.

Both of the girls grinned.

Kai held out his hands and the twins took them. First, Kai helped the twins go to the bathroom so they wouldn't have to later on. Thankfully they were at the age where they were potty trained. 

Then, they left the hotel room and went to the breakfast buffet that the hotel had every morning. When they entered, Kai set the twins up at a table in the corner of the room by the exit in case they needed a quick exit.

"What do you guys want to drink?" Kai asked.

"Apple juice," Lizzie said, excitedly

Josie frowned thoughtfully in consideration, "App-no, orange juice," She decided on.

Kai nodded. "What do you two want for breakfast?" He asked.

"I want baconnn and waffles with lots of syrup," Lizzie said, grinning.

Kai raised his eyebrows, amused. Before turning to Josie.

"You want the same?"

Josie thought about it for a moment, then shook her head no.

"Can I have frosted flakes and sausages?" Josie asked. Interesting combination but who was he to judge?

Kai nodded. "Sure, kiddo. Stay here and no talking to strangers," He said, before moving away.

Kai walked over to the buffet and grabbed a tray and two plates. Then, he went over and poured the batter for at least one waffle into the waffle maker and set it to cooking. Finally, he went over and put sausages on one plate and bacon on another, all while keeping an eye on the waffle maker.

He headed over to the cereal section and poured some frosted flakes into a bowl and put it on the plate with the sausages. After he stopped by the drink section and grabbed a cup of orange juice and apple juice.

When he looked back over at the waffle maker, he saw that it was done, and went over and got the waffle out, placing it on the plate with the bacon. He grabbed some syrup and walked back over to the twins placing the tray on the table.

He placed Josie's food and drink in front of her and did the same with Lizzie except for her he had to pour the syrup on. Once he was sure they were situated, he grabbed his own food. Some french toast and sausages with a glass of orange juice.

As he ate, he observed the twins, noting how Josie seemed to eat slowly and carefully, not wanting to make a mess. Whereas Lizzie shoveled the waffle into her mouth like she hadn't eaten in months.

By the time they were all finished, Lizzie had syrup all over her hands and face, and some on her shirt.

While Josie's hands were only slightly greasy from the sausages. Kai grabbed a glass of water and some napkins and began wiping Lizzie's face, and hands. Once she was no longer sticky, he poured some of the water on the area of the shirt that had gotten syrup on it, and by the time he was finished, Lizzie was perfectly clean.

He then poured some more water on a napkin and cleaned up Josie's hands and the area around her mouth.

Once that was done, he threw away the rest of the trash and put the plates, glasses, and silverware in the cleaning zone.

When he returned, he looked between the twins.

"What do you two say to us going shopping?" Kai aged

Josie nodded excitedly, while Lizzie considered him.

"Can we buy toys?" Lizzie asked.

Kai smirked at her. "Sure," He said, shrugging.

"Then, ok," Lizzie agreed.

Kai brought the twins back to the van and fastened them in. He then drove to the nearest Walmart.

When they got there, Kai grabbed a cart and brought it to the van. Then, he unfastened Josie and placed her in the seat of the shopping cart before getting Lizzie out. He placed Lizzie on his hip, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

He shifted so he had one arm holding Lizzie and the other open to push the cart.

"What are we getting?" Josie asked, curiously as they went into the store.

Kai glanced down at her. "A lot of things. But first things first, we're going to get you two some clothes," He explained.

Both the girls looked excited as they entered the kid's clothing aisle. As they went up and down the aisles, the twins picked out things they liked, and by the time they were done the cart was filled with clothes.

Then when they got to pajamas, Lizzie got a pair based on the Disney movie, Sleeping Beauty. While Josie got a pair based on The Little Mermaid.

The three continued to go through the store grabbing everything that Kai thought they needed.

Once everything was in the cart, he realized that he was going to need another cart, so he compelled a passing woman, who had just started shopping so their cart was empty, to give him theirs.

He placed Lizzie in the seat of this cart and went to the toy aisle. He grabbed some board games and a deck of cards. Then, he had the twins pick out some toys.

First, they got two stuffed animals each. Lizzie wanted a medium-sized stuffed wolf that had russet fur with a white belly and black patches in its fur.

The next stuffed animal she wanted was a black panther with bright green eyes. While Josie wanted a stuffed white tiger as her first one and a pink dragon as her second.

Then they picked out some other toys. He also made sure to grab two Ipads for both of the twins along with headphones for them and earbuds for himself.

When they finished with that they went to the food aisle to grab some snacks for the road trip. Kai made sure to grab some pork rinds and jam. Then he picked up some stuff for the twins.

Then as he headed out towards the checkout, he grabbed two suitcases, 2 duffle bags, and two backpacks for the twins. He also grabbed 2 fluffy blankets along with 2 pillows for each of the twins.

He got Lizzie a blue blanket and a purple pillow. And got Josie a yellow blanket and pink pillow. These would be theirs and theirs alone.

As they were going to check out, Kai spotted a necklace that had a stone the size of the fingernail of his pinky that was a bluish-green color. When he looked closer, he realized it was an emerald on a thin silver chain.

He set the two carts side by side and told the twins he needed to grab something real quick. He approached the man at the counter and compelled the man to give him two of the necklaces. Once he got them, he put them in his pocket to spell later on.

He went back to the carts and continued on to checkout. When he reached it, he compelled the clerk and left quickly, once everything was bagged up.

When he got to the car, he quickly fastened the twins into their car seats and gave them their blankets and pillows. Kai then opened the trunk and began to use the backspace to sort through the items.

He put Lizzie's stuffed animals and her Ipad along with her headphones in her purple backpack. Then, he put her stuff into the backpack as well. Then did the same for Josie's pink backpack.

Once their backpacks were done, he put all the toys and games into one of the duffle bags. Then he put the food and other stuff into the second duffle bag.

He then opened one of the suitcases and put all of his stuff in it then put the twin's clothing in the other one.

When he was finished, he left the suitcases and the duffle bag of toys in the trunk of the car.  And brought the backpacks and the last duffle bag to the front of the car. He moved the carts so they were back in the area they were supposed to be and got in the car.

When he started up the car, he pulled out one of the movies - it was Frozen - and put it in, turning on the car DVD player for the twins. And started on the long drive to his old home in Portland.
