Topaz crossed her arms over her chest as she glared defiantly at Eiji. She didn't make much of a move to get Marcus to let her down, considering that he could beat her in a sparring match. Topaz was a overall, a very very tough girl. She had successfully beaten everyone, but Marcus. So in turn she held him in high regard. Or more of respect, unlike Eiji, who attacks anyone even if he knows that he wouldn't win. When Eiji mentioned respect, she let out a low menacing growl as she tried to swing herself far enough to kick him across the face. But Marcus reached him first as he jerked his ear down. She calmed down a bit and glanced back at Raji when Marcus mentioned him, "Eiji started it first, he thought it was an acute scalene. When it's definitely a obtuse isosceles!" She crossed her arms again and pointedly turned her head away from Eiji. I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence
If I connect it to emotion and empathy, I'll stand by the window
And as I'm embraced by tranquility, again I'll be waiting for tomorrow
It falls gently: not water, but a lonelier drop

Tears began to swell in Raji's eyes. He then ran into his room crying and slammed the door behind him.
Marcus sighed as he let go of Eiji and put Topaz back down on the floor. "I suggest you two apologize and then apologize for the predicament that you put Raji in." Marcus grabs Raji's homework and walks to the crying kid's room room. He glances down at the paper in amazement and thinks to himself, "Since when do sixth graders do this level of geometry?! Man times have changed." Once he arrives at Raji's door he knocks on it, hoping for an answer.

"You took Eiji's homework with you Marcus!" Topaz couldn't help but call out as he walked away. She turned to look back at her twin, her arms were still crossed as she glared at him. "It's an obtuse isosceles. Come on, let's go, I have to go to work early today because a spotlight went out. and I'm the only one light enough to get up there, not to mention that they're hosting another gig" She walked to the door and then turned her head halfway around, "I'll apologize for making Raji cry, but I won't apologize for fighting you" I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence
If I connect it to emotion and empathy, I'll stand by the window
And as I'm embraced by tranquility, again I'll be waiting for tomorrow

"Likewise Topaz, likewise." Eiji stared at the back on Topaz head as they headed out the door and into the hallway. One of Eiji many chores was to accompany Topaz to and from work. Much to Topaz's dismay, the only way Lucas let here get a job was if she let Eiji tag along, keeping the buddy system going. He stopped when he saw that Marcus was still knocking at Raij's. This was weird because Raji seemed to be attached to Marcus, Marcus and Lucas for that matter. For Raji to not have answered by now something had to be up.
"Raji open up! You need to finish your homework... Come on now, open up for your big brother. Dumb Eiji and Topaz promised never to fight again so come on out." There still wasn't an answer at the door. "Raji???" Marcus then opens the door to see that he was not in his room and the window was wide open, "Sh--."

"Eh?" Topaz peeked behind Marcus, once she saw the window, she immediately rushed over to vault herself outside. One might think she was suicidal, but I guess you could say that thanks to her feline traits, falling off a cliff would seem like nothing. She landed safely on the ground as she quickly looked around, "Raji? Ra-ji!" I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence

Eiji didn't feel like being shown out by his sister so he did the same. he wasn't as graceful as she was, but given the acrobatic he was born with and then worked on, he was able to land without injuring himself, "RAJI!!!!"
Raji was behind a bush sniffling a little, the major tears were on his pillow but now it was mainly the pain from his fall that kept him from completely stopping.

Topaz glanced around, spotting a bush with green leaves strewn around it. She approached it cautiously, hearing sniffling on the other side. She peeked around it, spotting her younger brother. She glanced to the side as she knelt down in front of him. She mentally sighed as she wondered what to do. She then hesitantly asked "Hey you okay? I have to leave early today...Wanna perk up for me?" I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence

Raji nodded and then stood up or rather tried to stand only to fall down again. "Ow... my leg." Raji grabbed his ankle that was turning a purplish color.
"Ah geez. You try and run away only to injure yourself in the process. Come on, let's get you inside and put some ice on it." Eiji helps Raji up and hoists him on his back, taking him inside. He then turns to Topaz, "You go on ahead. It's still light outside, you should be able to take carfe of your self till I get there right???"

Topaz rolled her eyes as she replied, "If anyone WANTS to try" She stood up as she started to walk down the street. Taking the necessary turns until she approached the building.
Once inside, she checked in at the front before she took the provided tool belt they gave her. She headed towards the large room as she walked up and vaulted herself up onto the stage, which was taller then her. She headed towards the back, where she met up with one of her fellow workers. "Alright now, which one is it?" "Hey Topaz, glad you can drop by earlier, it's the fourth one, towards the center" Topaz shrugged as she took the pulley that was offered to her and she started climbing up the ladder. "It's about time that it burned out anyway." She climbed up onto the support bridge, and started crawling towards the correct spotlight. Once there, she attached the rope onto one of the railings, which she allowed to drop down, "Heads up down there Jerry!" She laid down on it so her back was on the bridge as she took a flashlight to see what was wrong. "It burned out completely, did they overuse this one?" she called down. "Yep, that's one of the main ones they use for anyone standing in the center" Topaz felt some dust fall on her face, 'This is gonna be one messy and tiring job...wonder what's gonna happen next' I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence

Eiji carries Raji inside and sits him on a chair in the kitchen. He then went to the freezer to grab a bag of frozen veggies to put on Raji's sprang ankle. While doing this he managed to grab Lucas's attention.
"Oh dear, what have we here?" Lucas walks around the table to see what Eiji was doing to Raji. Quickly noticing the frozen bag on Raji's leg, Luca's personality shifted. "EIIIIIIJJJJJJJJIIIIIII!!! What did you do to your brother!!??" Lucas would've grabbed Eiji if Marcus hadn't put him in a full-nelson.
"Lucas! Calm down. Eiji had nothing to do with this. Raji tried to climb out of is window and fell."

Topaz rubbed her forehead, resulting in accidentally smearing it black without knowing. She was getting a bit dirty, and there was some black spots here and there on her. She managed to haul the burned out light and attached it to the pulley, "It's going down!" She waited for the new light to come up as she heard a voice call "Uhh, Topaz?" "Yea?" "Samantha...called in sick. Your the only one that knows how to operate her board besides Mandy, and she's" "Sam? She never gets sick. At least not in this weather....I know, I know, Mandy's off in Spain...You know how hard it is to operate two boards at the same time?" "I can take over your board" "Sure, just call me if you need anything" "Thanks Topaz" 'As long as you don't continuously keep calling...' She took the light that was now hauled up next to her as she proceeded to fit it in. I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence

Raji blushed in embarrassment and turned to face the table while cupping the ice on his swelling ankle. He looked down at the blue and whited checkered table cloth hoping that Lucas would calm down before talking to him.
Lucas struggled a bit to break from Marcus's hold, but his strength of a rebel was too much for the bookworm of a housewife (lol). He eventually calmed down and turned his head to assure Marcus that he was back to normal, which in return got him released. Lucas walked over to Raji and instantly put in a bear-like hug, "RAJI!!! You know that you can't keep running away whenever Eiji and Topaz get in arguments, that's what usually happens with twins, one has qualities that the other doesn't and vice verse. They'll continue to fight even in their old age." Lucas kissed Raji one the forehead and went back to cooking. "Sigh, alright well still around kiddo, dinner is almost ready."
Marcus sighed and cursed his fate as the second oldest as well as being the only one that could counter Lucas's rage-like alter ego. He slipped behind and tapped Eiji on the shoulder, whispering in his ear so Lucas wouldn't hear him. "Okay, so I understand that Topaz is work, but aren't you supposed to be somewhere as well???" He was hinting at the fact that Eiji was supposed to accompany Topaz to and from working, hopefully in doing so he would also get a job.
Eiji tensed up at Marcus's words and ran out the door to got to the club that Topaz helped out at.
Lucas's took little notice to Eiji abrupt leave and continued cooking, humming the chorus to a sound that he couldn't recall the title to.

Topaz didn't bother looking down (up, down haha) as she heard someone barge in. "Eiji, late." A snap was heard as she made a final adjustment. "Okay, Jerry! Your free to try it, but wait until I get out, I don't wish to get blinded just yet" She slipped out from underneath the spotlight as she crawled back towards the ladder, sitting on the top rung as she heard a click and then the stage was soon flooded with light. "Working?" "Perfect, get the rope pulley and get outta there" Like she had to be told twice, she was already headed towards it as the stage started to dim down again.

"Whatever yo!" Eiji looks around taking notice of the preparations being made. "I wonder who's playing tonight I may have to sneak out so I can see them. Oh yeah, Dinner is ready and Raji Is okay." He walks over to the bar table and starts a small conversation with Ernesto, the bar tender. He orders a water as he waits for Topaz to finish. "So what's new in the life of our neighborhood BarTender?" "Not much, just working my but off for minimum wage." He offers Eiji a small glass of water and continues cleaning dishes. Eiji chuckles a little at Ernesto's joke as he takes a sip of water.

Topaz jumped off the ladder, handing the rope to Jerry, who commented as he eyed the black streak on her head., "Is it that dirty up there? Your smeared with black here and there" Topaz shrugged it off as she headed towards the back of the room, "It'll wash and I'll live, that is unless Lucas thinks I ran through a minefield" She jumped up the stairs, heading over the a wide board full of dials, switches and levers. She mentally sighed, 'Sam...why today of all days?' She flicked a switch as Jerry picked up a microphone on stage. "Testing, testing 1, 2, 3?" Topaz quickly adjusted the volume as he continued going around, testing all the mics on stage. I'd like to try having a dream great enough to change my existence
