"Aleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex!" Tiara yelled from downstairs.

"What?!" answered her back. 

"Someone's looking for you!" Tiara yelled back. 

"Who?!"

"Why don't you just come down in here and see for yourself?!"

Tiara smiled sarcastically at the guest who is standing by the door. When Alex arrived, Tiara excused herself and went to the kitchen.

"What was that all about?" Dylan asked his twin as she entered the kitchen.

Tiara shrugged and took some dry cereal from Dylan's bowl. "Don't ask me. Where are Bonnie and Leigh?"

"Sleeping." Dylan answered absentmindedly. Tiara nodded and made her breakfast. They ate in silence.

"Good morning." Bonnie greeted them as she entered the kitchen. "What's for breakfast?" 

"I thought you're still asleep?" Dylan asked her. 

"Apparently, it was interrupted by something this morning." Bonnie glared at Tiara. "Seriously, Tiara, what's with the yelling earlier?"

Tiara grinned at her. "Sorry about that, B. Won't happen again. Swear." 

"Yeah right." Dylan scoffed and Bonnie shook her head.

"Where's my brother?" Bonnie asked the twins. 

"Outside. Flirting, probably." Tiara answered her. Bonnie gave her a meaningful look and Dylan laughed.

"So that explains the chaos earlier." Bonnie couldn't help but laugh. "Anyway, we're doing something tonight and don't even think of bailing. Whoever bails will sleep outside. That's the rule." Bonnie excused herself while carrying her bowl of cereal and went upstairs.

She passed by Leigh who seems to be sleep-walking. "B, where's Tiara?" 

"In the kitchen. Why?" Bonnie answered her. 

"I'm so gonna kill her for ruining my sleep. I had a good dream and it was interrupted. No thanks to her."

Bonnie laughed at her. "What, you dreamt of Dylan again?" 

"W-what? What the eff are you talking about?" Leigh glared at her. 

"Nothing. Hey, we're doing something tonight." And with that, she went to her room. 

Leigh stormed off to the kitchen and shots a death glare at Tiara who is busy talking to her twin.

"Good morning, Leigh." Dylan greeted her when he noticed her but to his dismay, Leigh ignored him. Leigh walked towards Tiara and smacked her head playfully.

"Hey! What was that for?!"

"For interrupting my sleep and ruining my dream." Leigh answered her.

Tiara grinned at her. "Sorry, Leigh. You were dreaming about my twin, weren't you?" 

"Shut up!" Leigh blushed furiously. Is she that transparent? She did have a dream about her and Dylan. They were in the beach, hanging out and having a good time. She was broken out of her reverie when she heard Tiara laugh.

"I guess I hit bull's eye." Tiara said as she continued laughing.

"Whatever." Leigh rolled her eyes at Tiara. She saw Dylan sitting by the kitchen counter, trying to stifle a laugh. "Oh crap." She murmured.

"Good morning, Leigh." Dylan greeted her again. Amusement is evident in his voice.

"Morning. You're there the whole time? Why didn't I saw you?" Leigh asked him.
