'It seems we have met another troublesome person.'

Esther eyed her brother, who had a look of such complexity on his face that it made it hard for even her to tell what he was thinking. However, she believed it to be along the lines of either accepting his request or leaving him behind as quickly as possible without so much as a word goodbye.

'It seems we have,' she replied.

'I honestly don't know what we should do.'

'Shouldn't we just accept his request and leave?'

Eli paused and lifted a finger to his lips. He looked to be in deep thought. 'I was thinking something along those lines.'

Esther grinned; she knew her brother well.
She turned her attention back to the over-enthusiastic boy.

'Well, what should we say to him, El?'

'What do you think we should say?'

Without having to give it another thought, they both answered, "Yes."

The boy's face lit up, and a huge smile appeared on his face. "Yes!" he cheered. "My first new friends! And they're heroes!"

Eli grumbled in a manner only Esther could hear. 'Angel, fairies, and now heroes. . . I wish they would just stick to one.'

Esther quickly agreed. Her focus wasn't on her brother so much as it was on the new boy.

'Has anyone ever been so happy about being our friend before?'

Eli looked at her confusedly.

'I know Cheryl was happy about it, but was she as excited as Bryce here is?'

The twins watched as the boy continued to cheer and rave about them running Billy off.

'Has there ever even been one time where we got to see someone so excited?'

Eli didn't know what to say about it.

'I don't know,' he answered. 'You're probably right; there's probably no one else in the world who would be as excited as him.'

Suddenly, they both got a strange feeling. They felt weirdly light-hearted as if they were walking on air, but neither could understand what the intense feeling meant. It was so foreign to them.

Bryce laughed as he picked up his things, "What a day!" After picking everything up, he spun around to wave at the twins. With a big smile on his face, he exclaimed, "See you tomorrow!" Before scurrying off down a trail far opposite of Cheryl's and the twin's.

After watching him disappear from view, the twins felt calmer.

Eli sighed, "What a day indeed."

Esther shared her brother's thoughts and took his hand, saying with a small smile on her face, "Come on, let's go home." Eli firmly gripped her hand as they slowly walked up the hill. "I'm sure tomorrow will be even more eventful," Esther said quietly to him.
