"Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all", Ritza murmured.
"We've made it this far", Aurora smiled. "It's okay if you dont want to do this, I know you're afraid of heights."
"Well, I'm going with Cal", Caleb grinned mischievously and grabs my hand.
We started running until we made it to the entrance of the leaning Tower of Pisa .
"Wait, slow down, you're too fast!", Airi exclaimed, breathless.
"Not everyone is like you Cale, you should know that", Haruto panted.
"I forget, not everyone is as awesome as me, except for Cal of course", Caleb joked.
Airi frowned, while Haruto laughed.
"Alright, enough of the delay, lets go inside and see where Galileo worked his magic", I said with a hint of amusement.

After we finally reached the top, we made sure to take many pictures. Some serious and many funny ones.
While Ritza, Aurora, Airi and I where posing for a 'girls only' picture, a young male of about 28 caught my eye.
After the photo was taken and my friends went to explore, I stayed outside, just enjoying the fresh air and the view.

"Even after year, you enjoy the fresh air. You probably still don't have a job yet either?"

"Stranger?", I was beyond shocked and surprised.

"Who else?", he grinned.

"Well, I must admit, there were MANY blondes with green eyes. So don't go thinking you are all that special.", I chuckled.
The stranger scowled.
"Ai, I'll have you know I'm one of a kind"
"Try me", I replied.
"Do you know who I am?", he challenged.
"No, and I really don't want to. You seem too insufferable for me to even get along with"

He smiled apologetically remembering the way of of our arguments went when we first met.
"Look. I know I didn't make a good first impression when we first met, but I don't think I'm all that bad."

"As a scientist, your statement is merely a hypothesis.", I stated.

"So what do you want me to do?", he inquired. He seemed genuinely curious.

"I want you to prove your statement to be true", I smiled.

"Alright, I can do that. My name is Adrianus", he said softly. "And yours?"
Before I could open my mouth a voice interrupted:

"Child, where are you?"
"Oh found her", Aurora chimed. "Oh you know what? We should probably take that other passage way."
"Why?" Caleb's voice asked.
"Because, for the first time ever, Cal is having a conversation with a male, other than you and Haruto."
"What?! Who is he, I swear to God..."
"Hold your tongue Cale, whoever she is with, the can probably hear us", Haruto chuckled.

"Oh hey Adrianus, what's up brother?" Caleb asked, while putting his arm around me.
"Caleb, it has certainly been a while", Adrianus smiled in reply.
"Hold on, dont tell me you're both brothers, let alone part of the same family?!" I exclaimed, surprised.
"We're twins actually", Caleb smiled lightly.

Now this is where I had to gather my thoughts really quickly.
Caleb was tall with brown hair and blue eyes while Adrianus was tall with blonde hair and green eyes...

"Hey Stranger? I think you forgot, I dye my hair blonde...", Adrianus whispered.

Oh yes. How could I forget?

"Huh", was all I managed to say.

"Cal. Cal! You're daydreaming!" Ritza screamed.

"Oh yeah sorry", I murmured. "My name is Callisto, however most people call me Cal."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Cal. I call my brother Cale for short."

"Funny, so do we", Aurora piped up.

"Are we just going to stay here and stare at each other?" I ask, trying to lighten the mood.

"No, we will go back to the hotel. Adrianus, would you like to join us?" Caleb asked.

"Sure, I would love too! I haven't seen you in years brother, and Callisto? I haven't seen you in a while either."

I don't know why it made me happy, but somehow, it just did.
