((aww Taliah... that sucks... I want you to stay.. im sure the others do too..))

Mallick smiled and looked at her. "Well, just tell me what you guys want to start with first. There a huge lake around here and the ocean isn't far off. The sand is really soft and is never cold. The sand is pretty "magical" if I do say so myself.. It's fun at night. We usually go down and light fires and play in the sand. My brothers and I that is. Your welcome to come with us tonight. Which reminds me.. I left Zane alone... Do you guys mind coming to my house really quick.. I promised Zane icecream..." He smiled weakly by how much he was talking.

~~~

Jake laughed. "Outisde is fun though.. I'm pretty sure it would be nice to live outside.. Then again.. When it rains here, it pours.... So yeah..." He looked at sunni. "Your hair is unually teal.. Did you dye it or is that a natural hair color? I'm not one to talk though.. My hair is silver." He smiled and ate his ice cream. He shoved a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth and looked into teh spoon. He swallowed his ice cream. "You didn't tal lme i had whipped cream on m-" He held his head. "Oww... Brain freeze!"

Mallick smiled. "Oh thank you so much.. I have to find Zane first off.. I hope he's at home like he usually is.." He grabbed both girls' wrist and walked toward his house. "SOrry for draggin you along like this, but I really need to hurry.. Zane is such a little kid adn he has a short temper." He walked up to his house. A small two story light blue house with a baitiful rose garden in teh front. A couple of lawn chairs were on the lawn and he smiled when he saw one with legs. "Zane!"

Zane opened his eyes adn tunr over. He stood up and looked at his brother. "Where teh hell were you Malk! I told you to be here a few minutes ago! You promised you would take me to teh ice cream parlor..." He looked at the two girls. "Who are these two pretty ladies?" He looked at Mallick. "Don't tell me you kidnapped them.." He said playfully.

Mallick shook his head. "Nah.. He's just really childish and he loves to get his way. He was dropped as a little kid and he suffered brain damage.. He's not usually like this when you get to know him." Mallick smiled. "I know Zane, i promised you a while ago.. But this is Lindsay and Kova... I did n't kidnap them.." He beckoned his brotherr over.

Zane walked over and looked at Lindsay. "I'm Zane.. Mallick's twin... We don't look much alike though.. He let his hair grow longer than mine and our eye color is different. He is also half Brazilian as I am half Japanese.." He smiled. "Well, are we going to go now?" He walked out of the yard and down toward teh parlor. "I think Jakey went down there too.. I heard him crash into the dumpster again."

Mallick looked at her. "A lot of people don't know what goes on inside the walls of our house.. Zane is pretty much just putting up a front.. He isn't like this inside.. He's actaully a prety depressed and sad little kid... I don't like saying that, but it's true. Just, please tolerate him as best you can right now.. And when you get to know him, he's much cooler.. He isn't as childish." He smiled and followed his brother. "And we don't look much like twins either though.."

Zane looked back and sighed. So, I guess Mallick finally found someone... She's a little mean though.. I don't have dyskensia or at least I don't think I do.... He isn't like Mallick anymore.. Ever since.... He shook his head. Just keep this up... Don't worry.. and don't let my alter ego take over today... He smiled and turned around. "Come on Malk! You owe me from last time." He turned and ran into a pole. He fell back and his nose bled. "Ow.."

"I don't mind Zane. I fact, I understand. It's okay, a lot of bad stuff happened to me when I was younger." She pouted, remembering what had happened. Then, she looked up. Zane wasn't watching where he was going. He ran into a pole, and fell.

Lindsay ran up. She had this strange instinct to help people.

"Hey, are you okay?" She looked at Zane with concern, and pulled a tissue out of her purse. She offered it to him. "Here." She chimed.  

Mallick ran over, still draggin Kova with him. "Zane! Zane, you need to be more careful." He looked at Zane and noticed he had somewhat changed. His alter ego had taken control because of his weak state of mind. "Zane.."

Zane opened his eyes and took teh tissue. He put it up to his nose and wiped the blood. "Thank you so very much." His voice had changed into a slightly more muscular tone and it was smoother too. He sat up and out the tissue to his nose. "Oww.."

((What are we going to do with Kova's lifeless body? XD))

Lindsay was startled by the change in voice, and how properly his sentence were formed. "No... problem." She disconectedly responded. "Are you... alright, Zane?" She asked, even more concerned than before. "Something's... different." She muttered.

((drag it along with us?? xD))

Zane looked at her. "Of course I'm okay.. I just hit my nose on the pole.. I'll be fine.." He stood up and brushed off. He removed the tissue and threw it in the trash can. He wiped his nose a little with his finger to check for dripping blood. "Okay.. The bleeding has stopped.. Shall we go, Mallick?"

Mallick looked at Lindsay's ex
pression. He whispered in her ear, "Zane is two faced. He has his childish side, the one a lot of people love him for and he has his alter ego, the one that you see now.. Plenty of girls fall for this side of him because of the way his voice is smoother and how he acts... Sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

((We could always drop her off at her house. Powerplay her and say that she has a stomachache.))

"It's fine.... it's just.. wow. Never expected that." She whispered to Mallick.

She turned forward, and looked enthusiastic. "Okay, guys, let's go get that icecream!" She laughed. "We are really dragging this out."

(true)

Mallick smiled and followed her into teh parlor. He sat down adn looked at the girl behind the counter. "Chaly! Your working here today! Did Jake comne by?"

The girl nodded adn pointed to a booth. "Over there."

Zane walked in and looked at Chiley. "Charlette.. Your here today.. Hello." He smiled

(fail...)

Lindsay scurried off after Mallick. Not only was she anxious to meet Jake, who she'd heard so much about, but the sudden change Zane undertook actually scared her. It was so... unnatural. Not bad. Just unnatural.

Mallick smiled and truned around. He walked over to his brother and placed his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Fancy meeting you here Jake... You don't share our last name, but your my brother and I want you to meet someone? By the way, Zane let it happen again... He needs your voice." He beckoned Lindsay over. "Lindsay, come meet my older brother.."

Zane turned and looked at Jake. "So you are here, Nii-chan... I'm glad to see your almost alright.. You should cover those up though.. People don't like it when others walk around with bruises on their faces.." He smiled

Jake looked at Sunni. "Excuse this.." He stood up and looked at Zane. "Zane.... Shut up... I know your Zane.. Come on Zane.. Where are you.. Jakey wants to play.." He smiled and kept his eyes on Zane.

Zane blinked and his eyes now like a child's. He looked at Jake. "Jakey!" His voice changed back to how it was before. "Hey, your here! Malk owes me icecream." He smiled

Jake and Mallick both turned to look at Lindsay and sid in unision. "He's my half-brother...." Jake looked at Mallick. "Yeah.. His dad divorced his mother. Then my mother married him and I ended up getting stuck with them as brothers. Mallick and Zane are my hfl-brothers... Although, i prefer it that way.. They don't get in as much trouble..

Mallick looked at Jake. "Liar.. You just don't want our na- Zane! Don't shove all that in your mouth! You'll hurt yourself again.." He walked over and spooned some icecream off Zane's spoon. "GOd... DO you want your step-mom to put ahot towel on your head again adn leave you in bed for a week?"

Zane shook his head. "I'm sorry... I just want to east it before it melts.."
