+Chapter Seven

Everything was going better for the next few weeks. Yena started worrying less about her hair and was cleaning up after herself, Kean finished her book and Yena wasn’t fighting with her, and Haidyn finally had some time to herself. Today was her birthday, but she had forgot. Kean remembered and told Yena. They are going to surprise her.




Before Haidyn woke up, the twins had awaken then got up and started on their preparation for Haidyn’s surprise. Kean was going to get a present and her opposite twin Yena proclaimed that she was going to make breakfast. Not a very good idea. Yena went out early and picked up some eggs from an unloading truck at a grocery store, and brought them home. She had gotten twelve eggs, but she came home with three. After that she started a fire like Haidyn always does. Yena caught her sleeve on fire but not for very long because Kean poured water on it then left. Surprisingly Yena’s screaming did not wake up Haidyn. Then she tried to cook the eggs. Yena caught also the eggs on fire. She kept blowing on it to try to put the fire out and her twin was outside so she got the spatula and slapped the flaming eggs on the new ceramic plate her twin picked up about a week ago, which she accidentally broke. Yena decided to pick up the eggs but they were still on fire so she dropped them on the other plate then she started smacking the eggs with the spatula. When that didn’t work she poured the cup of apple juice on them finally putting out the fire. Kean came back into the shed smiling at first then her jaw dropped as a stunned look came to her face. Yena looked at the plate of three burnt eggs then looked to the side and questioned an innocent “What?” Kean was about to say something but stopped herself and shook her head then went to wake up Haidyn.



“Haidyn wake up” she said as she shoved her a little. All Haidyn did was push away her hands as she was still asleep. Kean sat there puzzled and Yena was gone. Kean looked back and forth then down again, and when she looked up she saw Yena sitting beside her oldest sister with a mischievous smile on her wide, scared tan face. Kean wondered what she was doing. About five seconds later Haidyn jumps up into the air screaming and running around in circles, while her Yena is laughing out her soul. All of a sudden a small white rat with red eyes crawls into a hole in the bottom of the shed wall from Haidyn’s direction. Kean watched the rat crawl and hear Haidyn squeal and Yena snicker and snort.



After all the commotion was over with they finally got to the point of the surprise. Yena presented the burnt eggs to Haidyn, she oddly said thanks and Yena smiled. Haidyn giggled at the look of the eggs and gagged at the taste but she ate them anyway, just for Yena. After she was done eating the sarcastically delicious burnt eggs, Kean comes in with a sac with holes in it with a yellow ribbon at the top tied in a bow. It was moving. Haidyn was a little scared that it might be another “white rat incident” but she opened it anyway. A small, striped, gray kitten with big, bright, sparkling blue eyes crawled out of the bag with a white ribbon tied around its neck. Kean had made friends with a mother cat near the park on Lawrence Avenue and the mother cat was friendly enough to let Kean take the runt of the litter. “She’s so pretty!” Haidyn exclaimed as the kitten crawled up onto her shoulders rubbing up against the side of her face with its tail rapped around her neck. Yena got exited as the white rat with red eyes crawled out of the hole and onto her leg, which she had named Stinky. Haidyn picked up the kitten and held it in the air. The kitten meowed. She brought it down and hugged it while she stroked the top of its tiny head. The kitten purred softly.



“Whatcha gonna name it?” asked Yena.



“I want to know too” said Kean.

Haidyn looked down at the kitten again. The first thing she noticed was its big blue eyes. “I’m naming her Blue because her eyes are big beautiful and blue.”



“Okay welcome to the family Blue!” said Kean as she smiled and petted the cat.



“Yeah welcome” Yena was stroking Stinky her albino rat.
