Tera woke up to her doona cover on the floor and one of her pillows under her arms. Goddamn it, I cuddled my pillow again. I need a guy to cuddle me, not me cuddling a stupid pillow, thinks Tera as she stretches in bed. She rolls over and looks at her alarm clock, which is showing that it is 8.30am. Tera wipes her eyes and hops out of bed.

"Stormy, are you up?" Yells Tera.

She can hear things rustling in the kitchen.

"I'm up, been up for the last hour. Thought I would let you sleep in for a bit," yells back Stormy from the kitchen.

Tera rolls her eyes and goes to her bathroom. She starts up her shower and hops in for her morning shower. While she is in shower, Stormy making bacon and eggs for breakfast for all of them. Bailey has to stay home this morning and wait for Jake to arrive while Stormy and Tera head to the shops. Stormy makes a quick shopping list of what they need and at the top of the list was alcohol.

"Bailey, are you awake?" Screams Stormy as she is starting to put food on plates.

"Argh yes," screams back Bailey from her room.

Stormy smiles and puts Baileys breakfast in her seat at the bench. She runs over to the TV and plugs her phone into the surround system. She puts on some party music to get the girls into the partying mood earlier on in the day. Bailey stomps down the stairs and sits down at the bench.

"What has the world come too?" Teases Bailey.

Stormy walks back over to the kitchen and begins to plate up Tera's breakfast.

"Huh?"

"Well we have been cooking lately, so either we are in a parallel universe or we are becoming mature, " mocks Bailey.

Stormy laughs at her and places Teras food in her spot.

"Tera, your breakfast in on the bench," yells Stormy.

She faces Bailey and says, "My pick is that we are maturing."

Bailey laughs and starts to eat her breakfast. Stormy walks around to the other side of the bench and begins to dig into her breakfast.

Once again, it doesn't take Stormy long to eat her breakfast probably about ten minutes. She rinses off her plate and yells out, "Tera, your breakfast is going cold. Get out of the shower you have been in there for nearly 20 minutes."

She can still hear the water running upstairs as she turns on the hot water all she can hear is someone yell out, "OUCH THAT'S FRIGGING HOT."

Bailey and Stormy laugh and look at each other. Stormy does her signature eye roll and heads up stairs.

"Tera, your breakfast is cold. Get out of the shower now," bangs Stormy on Tera's bedroom door.

"Give me five minutes. I'm washing my hair," screams back Tera from her bathroom.

Stormy heads off to her room, to go for a quick five-minute shower. She scans through her pile of dirty clothes near her cupboard looking for another pair of high waisted ripped shorts, the ones with studs near the pocket. She finds them at the bottom of her pile and does her usual sniff test to see if they are okay to wear for the day. They pass her sniff test and she chucks them onto her bed, now the struggle to find a bandeau top to go with them. She wants one that shows of her stomach, that way guys will check her out. The one she is looking for is her cream coloured one that has cupcakes over it. The last time I saw it was when Tera asked to borrow it for her bowling date with Andy 1. Did she ever give it back to me? I should go and check her room for it, as it is clearly not in my wardrobe. She probably still has it, thinks Stormy as she chucks all her tops out of her draw.

She leaves her room and enters Tera room.

"Tera, do you have my cream bandeau? The one with the cupcakes on it?" as she walks in.

Tera has just hopped out of the shower and is putting her towel around her body.

"I think it is in my draw," replies Tera as she walks into her bedroom.

Stormy starts rifling through her sister's draw. She finds it at the back of the draw.

"Thanks," as she is about to leave her room.

"Storm, do you have any other high waisted shorts I can borrow?" Asks Tera as she starts to dry her legs.

Stormy turns to face her and nods.

"Thanks, I will come in to your room in a minute and go through your shorts," as her sister walks out of her room.

Stormy walks back to her room and chucks her bandeau with her ripped shorts. She walks into her ensuite bathroom and turns on her shower. Stormy loves to her very hot showers, as it helps her clear her head. She quickly hops into the shower.

Tera is quickly to dry herself, so she can rifle through Stormys clothes and find the perfect outfit to wear for today. She chucks on a cute matching set of bra and underwear and wraps her towel around her wet hair. Tera walks to Stormys room and enters.

"Storm, just going to go through your clothes now," yells Tera to Stormy.

She notices Stormys outfit on her bed and yells, "Cute outfit."

"Thanks, just go through my clothes and grab whatever you want out."

Tera starts to rifle through Stormys clothes, usually she doesn't wear Stormys clothes but lately she feels like changing her clothes a bit. She only wants a pair of high waisted shorts to go with her frilly off the shoulder floral shirt.

"Are these red high waisted shorts okay to borrow?" as she shows Stormy the shorts.

Stormy shrugs and replies, "I don't know. Give them a sniff test and if they don't smell, then you can wear them."

Stormy laughs as Tera sniffs the shorts.

"I guess they don't smell. Thanks girl," says Tera as she puts the shorts on.

"All good G, now get out of my room."

Tera smiles and leaves the room. She rushes back to her room and puts her cute shirt on. She looks at herself in the mirror and thinks; I look so much like her. I look so much like mum. This shirt is super cute with these shorts.

She turns around and checks out her bottom in the mirror. She smiles and walks off to the bathroom. Tera applies a light layer of soft make up and puts her hair into a fishtail braid. She runs downstairs and nibbles on a few pieces of bacon before chucking the rest of the breakfast into the bin.

Tera checks her phone to find 10 voicemail messages for Michael all saying that he is sorry and wants to see her. She deletes them all and posts a quick Facebook message saying: Look forward to the house warming party tonight and seeing everyone from home. Miss you guys.

"Stormy, you finished?" as she fills a glass of water from the tap. As she is about to take a sip, she hears a knock at the door.

"I will get it," yells Tera. She goes and answers the door to find Seth and Toby.

"What do you boys want?"

"Jeez mumma, you are smoking hot today," blurts Seth.

"Just come to check if you girls needed a hand this morning?" Asks Toby as he watches Stormy come down the stairs.

Tera turns to look at Stormy and finds that she has also fishtail braided her hair.

"Copycat," bellows Tera.

Stormy laughs, "Well we are twins, great minds think alike."

The girl's laugh and then a few seconds later the guys laugh.

"I don't think we need any help boys, but thank you," says Stormy.

"That's okay. By the way Stormy, you look so sexy right now," says Toby.

Stormy gives him a kiss on the cheek and leaves a mark.

"Thank you sweetheart," replies Stormy.

Seth looks at Tera waiting for her to give him a kiss.

"Seth, thanks for saying I looked smoking hot today," says Tera as she leans into kiss him on the cheek. But as she went to kiss him, he moved his face so that she actually kissed him on the lips.

Stormy and Toby laugh as Tera slaps Seth. Seth stands there smirking at her.

"Go on boys, you better go and find some costumes for tonight," says Stormy.

"What are you girls wearing tonight?" Asks Seth.

"That's a secret. You will find out tonight," winks Tera.

The boys smile and wave goodbye. Tera closes the door and heads back to the kitchen.

"Ready to go?" Asks Stormy.

"Yes I'm ready if you are."

"I'm ready Tera, we better leave Bailey a note," replies Stormy. Tera nods and Stormy walks over to the bench. She uses the receipt from last night and scribbles a quick note saying: Bails, we have gone out to get the things for the party. Love Storm and Tera xxxx.

Stormy places the note on the refrigerator and grabs her keys off the bench.

"We are taking my car," demands Stormy.

"Fine, you can drive."

"Umm yeah of course I will be," replies Stormy.

"Good, just drive carefully. I don't want to die yet!" Exclaims Tera.

"Tera, why would you die with my driving?" Inquires Stormy.
"Because you drive like a crazed idiot." Stormy shoots her sister a glare as if to say no I don't.

"You act as if you just got your license and don't know how to follow the road rules," says Tera as she walks out of the apartment.

WTF!?!?, thinks Stormy as she follows Tera out of the apartment.

Stormy quickly locks the apartment and gets in the waiting elevator. The elevator doesn't stop on the descent to the underground car parking. Tera gets out of the elevator and starts walking towards Stormy's car.

"Open the door Storm."

"Can't you wait Tera," as she reaches her car.

"Actually no I can't wait Storm."
"There you go," as she unlocks her car.
"Thank you." Tera hops into her sister's car.

Stormy get in to her car and starts it up.

"Eww, why is there old food wrappers on the floor?" Asks Tera as she picks up an old picnic bar wrapper.

"Sorry, I don't usually have others in my car," as she starts to drive out of the car park.

"Would it kill you to clean up some day?" Demands Tera as she puts her legs up on the seat.

"Actually it would, okay? Stop criticising me," replies Stormy.

"Fine, just drive so we can hurry up and get home."

"Why are you in such a bitchy mood Tera?" Inquires Stormy.

"I'm not. Jeez!" Exclaims Tera.

"I'm pretty sure you are in a bitchy mood, what happened yesterday at work?"

"Nothing, I just want to hurry up and get the things from shopping."

"Seriously Tera, what happened?" Interrogates Stormy.

"I got into a fight with a work mate, okay?"

"About?"

"Over something that happened at work. One of the boys made a sexist joke and my workmate thought it was funny. I told her I didn't find it funny, that I thought it was quite rude to be exact," says Tera.

"Oh fair enough, no need to turn bitchy over it."
"I know, I'm sorry I will try and be happy for the rest of the day," smiles Tera.

"Good. Tera you know you can always talk to me. Even though we don't talk much, just remember I love you," says Stormy as she pulls into a car park in the shopping centre complex.

Tera hops out of the car and walks around to Stormy's side. Stormy get out of the car, locks the door and then Tera hugs her sister.

"Thank you Stormy. I never knew that I could I always talk to you. You always seemed like you didn't give two shits about anyone else but yourself. I love you too," as she finishes hugging her sister.

"Tera, I have never not cared about. You are my only sister and I will always care about you."

Tera smiles, "Awh Storm. We better get everything for the party."

"You're right. Lets go," says Stormy as she pulls her sister towards the shopping complex doors.

Stormy and Tera walk into the shopping complex and finds Woolworthes right down the end, a couple of metres ahead of them. Tera points down towards Woolworthes, and the girls headed of towards it.

"How about you take one trolley and go get all of this stuff?"

"Sounds good. You grab another trolley and get the rest of the stuff. Meet up at kmart in an hour?" Asks Stormy.

Tera nods and is on her way with her trolley. She is walking up and down all aisle look for everything on her half of the list. Tera comes to a halt in one aisle, as she sees the one person that she doesn't want to see.

What is he doing here? Please don't notice, thinks Tera as she puts her head down and tries to walk past them.

"Tera, is that you?" Asks the person.

Tera looks up and faces him.

"Yes it's me. What are you doing Michael?" as she rolls her eyes.

"I'm doing my grocery shopping. Just like you," replies Michael as he smiles at her.

She smiles back at him and blurts, "Yeah, but this is for my party tonight."

He looks down at her and sees that she is still a little angry with him.

"Oh yeah, that's right. I overheard Oscar talking about it," replies Michael as he places something into his trolley.

"Micheal honey, what are you doing?" questions this lady as she and a little girl walks up to him. "Who is this?" she asks.

"Oh Miranda, this is my new assistant Tera," replies Michael as he smiles.

"Tera, nice to meet you. I hope that you are looking after my husband," says Miranda as she holds out a hand for her to shake.

Tera bites inside her mouth and replies politely, "Nice to meet you. Mr Harvard, has not stopped talking about you and your daughter. I better let you go boss."

Tera smiles and starts to walk away.

Are you frigging kidding me? He is married and has a daughter. What a prick, thinks Tera as she walks away furious. She looks at her phone and notices that she only has half an hour left. She hurries up and down the aisles, hoping that she doesn't run into him and his wife.

An hour and a half later, the girls meet back up out the front of Kmart.

"You okay?" Asks Stormy.

Tera smiles at her and responds, "I am A okay."

Stormy stares at her, "Okay, how about you take this to the car, while I go and grab our costumes? I can also quickly pop over to Dan Murphys and get our alcohol?"

Tera nods and starts to push the trolley to car. As she is walking her phone goes off and she ignores it because it's him.

Stormy quickly runs into Kmart, picks up a cop and French maid costume and rushes out toward Dan Murphys. As she is walking down towards the alcohol she wants, she runs into Connor.

"Hey boss, what are you doing?" Asks Stormy as she stops.

Connor turns around and flashes her a smile.

"Getting my alcohol for your party," replies Connor.

"Look forward to seeing you tonight. Don't forget it's a naughty and nice costume party?" Reminds Stormy as she heads off to get her drinks.

Connor winks, "I didn't forget but I hope your costume is as sexy as what you are wearing right now."

Stormy turns and just leaves him with a wink. She rushes and grabs their vodka cruisers and heads up the counter. She pays for the alcohol and races to her car.

The girls are finally back in the car and on their way home from shops. "Are you sure we got everything?" Asks Tera.

"Yes, I'm sure we got everything."

"Okay, lets go home and get everything ready."
