Xavier took both of Amy's hands. "This might sound crazy, but...I live in the tower." He smiled. "I can take you there." "W-what? You live in the tower!? No way!" She smiled. "Trust me. Uncle Seth is really cool about things like this. We can hang out there if you want." Amelia bit her lip,"let's go." She laughed. Xavier smirked and ran with her up the hill. When they reached the door Amelia was bouncing with excitement. Xavier took her inside and smiled proudly.

Amy smiled and spun on her heels trying to get a good look at everything around her. She could barely contain herself, she grabbed his hand. "What should we do first?" Xavier looked around. "I could introduce you to my uncle." She smiled sweetly. "That would be a good start." Xavier tugged her upstairs and knocked on Seth's door. There was a rumble then a loud crash. "One moment!" Seth quickly opened the door only showing his upper half. "Yes?" Seth looked at Amy then looked towards Xavier. "Oh, I see we have a visitor." He smiled. Seth walked out of the room and shut the door hastily behind him. "I'm Seth Adams. Xavier and Luke's uncle." He smiled and held out his hand. "Amelia Smoke." She smiled and shook his hand. "But you may call me Amy."

Amy looked at Seth confused. "I'm sorry, but who is Luke?" Seth looked at Xavier more confused. "You didn't tell her?" Xavier sighed. "Tell me what?" She looked at Xavier same as Seth. "Luke is my twin brother." Xavier looked down. "Really? Twins! How fun! I'd love to meet him if that's alright." Xavier faked a smile. "O-oh...yeah sure." Amy waved to Seth as they walked down stairs. "Lovely to meet you Mr. Adams!"

Xavier took Amelia downstairs to the living room. They sat on the velvet couch. Luke was sleeping on the love seat covered in a blanket. Xavier sighed and pulled his twin's arm. He was out cold. Starting to get annoyed, Xavier hit his brother up side the head. Luke shot up uncovering his head. "Ow! What the heck Zave!?" Amy giggled. "Yeah 'Zave'." She teased. "Who's this?" Luke looked at Amelia and smiled charmingly. Xavier rolled his eyes. "Luke this is Amelia Smoke, Amy this is my brother Luke." Amy smiled. "Nice to meet you." "Very nice to meet you too." He smirked.

Xavier's face shot red with jealousy. "Amy, um...you wanna go hang out now?" He faked a kind smiled trying his best not to strangle his brother. Amy smiled,"of course." She stood and walked with Xavier upstairs. He opened the door to his room and let her in. He followed Amy inside and plopped down on his bed. Amelia yawned, "what now?" "No clue-" Someone knocked on Xavier's bedroom door. He sighed in annoyance. Xavier walked to the door and slung it open. "Yes?" He instantly regretted the way he led. Xavier gulped. "H-hello Mr. Witcher." Xavier crumbled. Witcher peaked inside looking at Amy. He smiled and waved sweetly. "I see things went well." He mumbled under his breath. He shot red."I-it's not like that."

Witcher smirked. "Okay...can I at least meet her?" Xavier looked like a soldier under inspection by his superiors. "S-sure." Xavier let Dr. Witcher inside. Amy stood from her seat and approached the tall man bravely. "Hello sir." "Dr. Witcher this is Amy. Amy this is Dr. Witcher, a family friend." Amy smiled and held out her hand. "Amelia Smoke." Witcher kissed her hand and smiled. " Doctor John Witcher. A pleasure really." Xavier laughed nervously. "Well, I guess I'll leave you two to your conversation." John walked out of the room and shut the door.

Xavier looked at Amy with confusion as he sat on the edge of his bed. "His name is John!?" "You didn't know that?" She looked puzzled. Xavier shook his head and laughed. "Well, I guess he liked you. I'm glad. He kinda makes me nervous." Amy sat down beside him. "I can tell, you stutter when your worried." He looked down self consciously. "It's cute."she smiled softly and placed her hand over his. He turned pink and looked up at her.

Xavier brushed his black hair out of his eyes. "T-thanks." Amy looked at him and admired his eyes. "You're eyes, Luke's are blue...why are your's red?" "I don't know, but it helps people tell us apart." She placed her hand on his cheek. "They're beautiful. Like fire..." He pulled away her hand as his face turned red. "Thanks. Um maybe we could hang out tomorrow?" Amy smiled softly,"Sure. Sounds good." Xavier smiled kindly. "Good. Come by when you can."

Amelia stood from her seat and walked out of the room. She sighed making her way downstairs. Luke tapped her shoulder. Amy nearly jumped out of her skin. "O-oh. Luke you scared me." She smiled. "I was wondering-" he rubbed his shoulder. "If you'd want to go out sometime?" He bit his lip. "Oh um...wow. I...ok. Sure, sounds fun." Amy turned pink and smiled sweetly. "I'd love to go on a date with you." Luke smiled. "Cool. I'll tell you when." Amy smiled and walked out the front door. Luke smirked and fell back on to the couch with a sigh of relief.

At the corner of the room stood John. He emerged from the darkness, his dress shoes clicking across the floor as he walked. Luke shot straight up. 'Oh god...' he thought to himself as he facepalmed. "That...that was just... Wow." John clapped slowly as he approached the couch. "You are an absolute jerk, a ladies man, but a jerk." John sighed leaning on the couch. Luke let out a frustrated groan. "C'mon it'll be fine. Plus I made the first move. Fair and square, and from what I saw Amy already had Zave friend zoned." John growled,"are you really that big of a jerk that you'd steal your brother's girlfriend-" "Ah. Not girlfriend, friend. Friend zoned." Luke yawned as he layed back on the couch as if lounging on the beach. John scoffed, "whatever." He walked out of the room in disappointment.
