"Are you okay? I mean after what happened yesterday?" Peppi's first question was this when I came out of the house.

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry," I gave her a look.

"Ok, if you say so," She shrugged. "By the way, Caleb said he wants to walk with us. Turns out he lives nearby too."

"Really?" I blushed a little.

"Yep, and he said there's someone he wants us to meet."

I tensed a little. Could it be his real girlfriend? His parents?

Calm down, I told myself.

"Ah, there he is!" Peppi pointed ahead of her. I stopped walking.

Caleb's house was enormous, maybe even bigger than my school. The outside was already luxurious, with emeralds and pearls as decoration. I wonder what the inside looked like.

"Whatsup, Peppi and Nella," Caleb greeted us.

"Your house is huge as hell," I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.

"I know right?" He said. "Sometimes I get lost."

"So, who is this 'someone' you wanted us to meet?" Peppi asked.

"Oh it's-" Caleb turned around to show us, but suddenly, a streak of bright red came rushing towards us. 

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

When it came close, I realised it was a person.

Peppi pulled me to one side as that person rushed past us. The person came to a halt.

"THAT WAS FUN!"

The person was a girl, about the same height, with the same sea-blue hair, except her patch of white was red. A pair of red bunny ears and a fluffy red tail came out of her head and behind. Her shirt and pants were covered in burnt ashes, and she was wearing a pair of red roller skates, which there were flames dancing around them.

"Peppi, Nella, my twin sister Catherine," Caleb gestured us to the girl. "Catherine, my friends Peppi and Nella."

"Hi," we both said at the same time.

"OMG, JINX!" Catherine squealed. "I have never said anything at the same time with anyone before, and I love the word jinx, and I finally get to use it!!!"

"Uh- cool?" Peppi said doubtingly.

"OH AND I ALSO LOVE ROLLER SKATING! AND I LIKE TO CREATE EXPLOSIVES AND BOMB SOMEWHERE, LIKE A POND FULL OF FISH, OR AN ENTIRE SCHOOL. THE SOUND IS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS! OH AND ALSO I AM A FIRE BUNNY AND ALSO I USE A COOL SWORD CALLED A CLAYMORE, AND I ALSO HAVE A CANNON, AND..." Catherine rambled on and on, her eyes gleaming with joy.

"Okay okay okay, that's enough sis," Caleb laughed a little. "Sorry, my sister loves talking."

"It's fine- and did she say she has a CANNON!?" I asked in surprise.

"Yeah, but she only uses it for protection," Caleb said. I tried to imagine what it was like to carry a cannon around.

"Alright, let's go, we are gonna be late," Peppi cut in.

"YAYYYYYYYY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Catherine dashed ahead of us, her roller skates blazing with fire.

                                                  ********************************

Catherine literally roller-skated into the classroom, while yelling at the top of her lungs.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
