Isabella Dally and Hazel, her twin, woke up at 8:00 a.m in the morning of the 26th of November as well as James Dalley, their older brother. The kids of the Dally's family were rumoured to be mischievous of all the kids in town, doing pranks whenever and to whoever they wanted to. So, when they found their older sister, Emma, with a stranger, they weren't going to miss the chance.
But what they didn't know was that Emma was a queen in those things.

"Where do I-"
"SHHH HAZEL, we don't want them to wake up!"
"Why are you the leader James?"
"Because yes."
"I don't want you to be the leader!"
"I think I'd be a better leader"
"Could you shut-"
"..."
"Where is Emma?"
"Right behind you."
"Oh oh."

"..."
"Emma? Is that you? What the hell are you doing with that kid?"
"Calvin, meet my sisters Hazel and Isa, and my brother James."
"Emma, there is only one girl."
"I'm here."
"WHAT THE HELL DUDE THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!"
"It's because they are twins you idiot."
"JAMES! Don't talk to Calvin like that!"
"I thought that you would bring a clever boyfriend Emm."
"He's not my boyfriend."
"Sure, sure."
"I'll tell mom you called him idiot."
"You wouldn't."
"Prove me."
"..."
"..."
"MOM, JAMES SAID A BAD WORD."
"SHUT UP EMM!"
"MOM!!"
"This family is just-"
"Fascinating?"
"Wonderful?"
"Weird."
