"Let me see," the seratary said flipping through some papers."The only person home in the Loly house is their dughter. but i assume your here for her?"

"Yes ma'm we are. could you please tell her Beatrice and Shawna are here for their sleepover." I asked

"Of course i can," she smiled a turned around buzzing up to her.

"Okay Shawna," I muttered in Natalia's ear. " I'll do the talking you just come follow me. We are spending 2 nights here for food, water and for me to buy us plane tickets okay?"

"K."

"Alright lady's, you may go up to thier house. Do you know which one it is?"

"Yes we do,"

"Okay then go have fun on your sleepover."

"Danke," I responded with a smile as we headed to the door that lead to the apartments. I headed over to the elevator already knowing where it was and how to get there.

"What does danke mean?" Natalia asked

"It means thank you in German," I responded in a huff

"Oh," The elevator came and I jumped in. This elevator was nice but it still had coffee and ciggrette smell. there were spills on the ground and when you pressed the button to go to the next floor the button got stuck. But it was nicer then most elevators I've seen.

"Alright 14th floor." I breathed. and pressed the button

"Have you ever thought that when you go to the 14th floor your really going to the 13th floor? I mean like even though they don't say it you still know that it's actually the 13th floor." Natalia said on and endless drone

"Natalia, could you gladden me and stop that."

"Well i'm sorry for saying whats on my mind, and stop calling you Natalia!"

"I'm compunctions, I should have been calling you vexatious not Natalia!"

"I should be calling you smarty-pants instead of MA."

"I would have gone with shrewdy-pants instead but..."

"Your never going to stop are you, and call me Nita."

"And call me Beatrice, lets go" I said as the door opened. We stepped out onto the soft plush carpet. Personally if I owned an apartment I would not use sunshine yellow but whatever floats your boat.

i walked to the left and headed right to the middle where i knew house number 145 would be.Here we go again luckily the parents arn't home. i knocked on the door.

Who opened it was a mirror image of me and Nita except for wearing a plain white shirt, black pants and a brown leather jacket like me. Or a neon pink shirt and a blue skirt like Nita. She was wearing a beige dress that went slightly pass the knees and 4 different coloured bracelets. She was wearing no socks or makeup whatsoever. I think she looked nice, well no really, of course I think she is charming she looks the same as me but that dosn't matter.

"Hey, Shawn and Bibi- wait, your not Shawna and Beatrice. your me! OMG he's cloned me! No no no no no! I knew he was creepy but I didn't know that when he stole my hair that he could actually clone me!" She went.

Me and Nita looked at each other questioningly, like is this girl actually out twin? but i broke away from the gaze and barged right in. she started yelling at us "no please don't take anything for his creepy collection."

"Skyler calm down," i said turning to her," we are not your clones. Well not Methodologically. were your twins!" I explained

"Oh good, Jacob wouldn't know how to program a clone to have such a high vocabulary." she said calming down.

Once I had walked in I noticed that it was quite nice there was a baroque couch and matching chairs. There was a huge flat screen tv and to the left there was 3 bedrooms and a bathroom to the right there was a small kitchen that all three of us would be packed in. Behind the kitchen was a little area in front of the balcony. She had a very glamorous house. I liked it, it was 10 times nicer then my house.

I went into every bedroom, the parent's was blank except for the bed and the dresser. The room was sky blue and wood flooring.

The next room was her's. She had a hot pink room with a white carpet. she had a queen sized bed with a white bed spread, and white pillows. On the bed there was a mountain of stuffed animals. across her bed was a small TV on a dresser and a desk with a white rollie chair. But the rest of the room was in shambles! It was the messiest room I've ever seen! I almost wanted to clean it but instead I just walked away. I turned to the last door and opened it. It was the most stark place I've ever seen. There was a bunk bed. A bed side table beside it. A small dresser with a mirror and that was it.

I assume this is was her brothers room. I walked in and put down my bags.

"Um what are you two doing!" She asked as me and Nita plopped our bags down.

"What do you think? were spending 2 nights here so I can buy the tickets. And then we can have a brake from traveling. Considering were not going to have a place to stay till we get to dads. "

"What do you mean?"

"Your parents, her parents," I sighed nudging my thumb to Nita," And our other sister parents have signed a contract saying that once we're 13 we are aloud to meet and get the family together and once we have were aloud to live together deiced on the parents and us."

"what? i have to leave?"

" I had to..." Nita whispered.

"Nita! not the time!" I snapped at her.

"but this is my brothers room where are they going to sleep?!" she said freaking out again, breathing heavy.

"your older brother is checking out his new collage for the weekend and your younger brother is at his granny's for the weekend as well, so calm down," I said rolling my eyes

"calm down, please," Nita soothes trying to sooth her nerves. patting her on the back. she finally relaxes. she then walks away randomly and goes into her room. I put my bag down and fixed up the bottom bunk to make it conformable for me, this included me pushing all the stuffed animals off the bed and taking off most of the pillows. 

Nita  followed her. I pulled my one blanket from my bag and smoothed it over the bed. Someone opened the door to the house yelling out hello.

"HI DADDY!" The girl screamed back stomping through the hall. I pecked my head out into the hall, as did Nita.

"Hi Skyler sweetie. How was your- um, who is that?" Her father asked, his eyes got really big when he saw me and Nita. He was a tall dark man who seemed really concerned, that didn't really make sense to me. He should know about us.

"Did he actually clone you? I'm marching down there right now! Enough with this creepy stalker! We are going to get a-"

"No, sir we are her twin sisters." Nita interrupted he father, " we were separated at birth and were here to reunite." she gave him a really big smile stepping out of Skyler's bedroom. I followed.

"Yes," I continued, "Our mother had given birth to quadruplets and instantly put us up for adoption-" I was interrupted by Mr.Loly.

"Okay, I'm sorry but do you want to sit down and Skyler will make some tea," He invited sitting down on the living room couch. Me and Nita nodded and sat across from him. Skyler disappeared into the kitchen to make tea. 

"Continue," Mr.Loly premised.

"Okay, where were I? Oh, okay. So we were put up for adoption right after birth. But our parents wanted to see us again after a few years once we were old enough. So they made a contract that every adopter signed saying that we," I said making a circle with my index figure, indicating Skylar, Nita, our other sister and I, " could find each other where ever we are and meet each other. And potentially live together depending on what we all think.

"So Me and Natalia have come to collect Skyler. But before we leave we must stay here for a few days just so she can pack  and so I can purchase airplane tickets to London, England," I finished staring at Skyler's father.

He looked at me and picked up his tea that Skyler had just placed on the coffee table separating us. She went back into the kitchen and came back out with a plate of cookies, in which Nita attacked upon Skyler placing them down. I gingerly picked up the smallest gingerbread cookie on the plate and put it in my mouth. Only losing eye contact with Mr.Loly to select a cookie.

"And why should we give her to you?" He said after the awkward silence. I must have looked surprised because that's how I felt. Why? Well, He had to he signed the contract.

"One second, please," I said getting up and over to my suitcase near the door in boy's room. I pushed items around until I found what I was looking for. I rushed back to where they were sitting, "Here," I said thrusting the contract into his hands. 

He read the contract and I sat back down. He was reading very thoroughly so it took awhile. At some point we ran out of cookies and tea, though Skyler just kept refilling over and over again. They just never ran out.

At some point Mrs.Loly came home we explained what was going on and she seemed to already know. She left him to reading and starting making dinner. She was making pasta and Skyler helped.

Me and Natalia were both extremely bored. But we both kept extreme calmness and complete seriousness. Nita didn't even pull out her phone, she didn't want to be rude and neither did I. When dinner was ready he still read not even getting up from his place, Skyler just placed in front of him. 

Nita and I sat at the table and started eating the pasta. No one moved until everyone finished, then Skyler's mother brought out 5 slices of apple pie. She placed one in front of everyone and switched Mr.Loly's dinner plate with the desert plate and sat back down with the rest of us. As we ate no one said a word. I had never been in the most awkward silence I've ever been in. 

Once we were all done and had cleaned the dishes we went into Skyler's room. She flopped down on her bed pushing some of her stuffed animals off the bed. "ugggggh," Skyler moaned.

"What?" Nita asked bouncing down on her bed, making more stuffies come off the bed. I pulled her desk chair over to the bed and sat down on it. 

"My dad is going to find a fault in that contract and then I won't be able to leave and meet my parents and my other sister. And, I mean, I want to meet them so much! Like even as a chiled I knew I was adopted. I mean my parents don't even have the same skin colour as me, of course I knew. And I, like, always wanted to meet my real family. To be totally honest I didn't know that you guys egsited, but you can't blame me, like how would I know, " Skyler had gone onto a rant. I thought this might have happened. I looked at her health records, yes I know this is wrong and how did I get these, your thinking, but I know some people. Anyway;

I notted some important things when it came to Skyler, manily she had some ADHD and she was bipolar. So it was kinda strange sense she hadn't changed yet. 

Tears started to well in her eyes, "I-I just want to meet them more then anything," She sobbed. Nita patted her back trying to soothe her. I didn't know what to do. I'm not really good when it comes people or tears or even emotions really. I don't know why but even as a chieled I didn't know what to do when it came to emotions.

Skyler suddenly stopped crying and whipped away her tears smiling instantaneously. She looked at her clock which read: 9:59. She looked at her door expectantly and at excasactly 10:00 he mother walked in and said it was time for us to go to bed. Nita and I went to her brothers room and pulled our pajama's out. 

I laid down on the bed and pulled out the contract all the parents signed. I reread the contract and slipped into the darkness of sleep.
