 Izzy, wrapped up in Kyrin's blanket, attempted to snuggle up to a now-missing Kyrin. Not coming in contact with the older girl's body, Izzy stirred, looked about the room and, seeing Kyrin, grinned, "Good morning Ky."
Izzy sat up and stretched her arms up into the air then hopped out of bed. She saw Kyrin's outfit and asked curiously, "Are you going somewhere now, Ky? Can I come?" She gestured to her flowery pajama's and offered, "I can change really fast, I promise."

 "Morning Izzy." Kyrin said, still a little cranky about the snow aspect being a part of her day. "And if you hurry you can come with me. We are going to see Craig, and then later we are going to visit your part of town." Your part of town referred to up town, where all the rich people lived. Sitting back down on her bed Kyrin sighed and waited for Izzy to go get dressed.

"Yay!"
Izzy sprinted from Kyrin's room and back to her own, flinging open her wardrobe's doors and plucking out a pale pink dress with white lace cuffs and the trademark butterfly embroidered in white at the bottom of the skirt. She changed quickly, also throwing on a white lace headdress, and, grabbing a beige long coat with a fur-lined hood off a nearby hook, she rushed back to Kyrin.
"I'm ready!" she said presenting herself, her collar folded in, rather than out as it should have been, and the headdress sitting haphazardly on the side of her head. "Can we go now?"

Kyrin looked at Izzy with a very motherly expression and said, "No." Walking over to Izzy she fixed her collar and righted her headdress, "Now we can go." She led Izzy down the stairs and with every step it just got colder. Kyrin cursed under her breath, We've really gotta finish renovating this place.... then maybe it'll actually keep the heat in... and the cold out.
Touching the door handle she sighed, "Izzy," She said in a warning tone, "I am only going to say this once, if you scream or make any loud noise when you see what's outside, you are going to stay here all day while I am out, am I clear?" Kyrin's distaste of snow was giving her a headache and she didn't think she could take Izzy's squeals of delight.

Izzy, hearing Kyrin's words, became excited, nodding her head vigorously before asking in a reigned-in eagered tone, "What's outside, Ky? I wanna see!" She bounced from foot to foot as she waited for Kryin to open the door. Maybe it's an ice cream truck! Or a rainbow! Izzy went through all kinds of possibilities in her head of what could be outside.

On her way to the library to do research she saw her favorite pub and decided to stop in for a while. Seeing people who were regulars like herself she nodded to those she knew and ordered her minty zing drink. Lily was lost in thought as she sipped away at her drink and stared absentmindedly out of the pub's window."What the heck am I supposed to do now?"

Kyrin braced herself and opened the doors wide. They were greeted by a winter wonderland; the snow had made even the run down courtyard look like a beautiful place to be. Kyrin huddled in her jacket and hesitantly stepped outside. The cold instantly bit into her face and found every exposed peice of skin. Ky shivered and cursed again.

Eyes widening at the sight, Izzy whispered, "Snow..." before running out of the house and around in the snow, giggling happily. "It's snow! It's snow!" Izzy announced to no one in particular before she stopped and turned to Kyrin, looking down, slightly ashamed of herself. "I'm sorry, Ky. Was that too loud? I'll be quiet now..."

Fiore awoke in her bed early in the morning, ready for the day ahead of her. She was surprised to find an icy covering surrounding the rim of her metal window frame. She rubbed her eyes and looked outside, examining all the different designs formed on the trees by the line of snow...The cold tended to get Fiore's blood rushing, and boosted her energy.
Fiore pulled off her baggy blue pajama pants and white collared shirt and pulled out a dark blue mock turtle neck underarmour top and a pair of navy cargo pants, along with a pair of navy boots. She pulled her goggles over her head onto the base of her neck and checked her watch, observing as the second hand moved quickly around the face. A new day meant a new chance to make herself great. Not only that, but her father was coming back from business today, and Fiore aniticipated some morning spying on the old mansion down the street before he got home. She put her usual clips that pulled half of her hair out of her face and headed down the stairs towards the door. She punched in the security code and headed out into the cold, winter air.
The cold wind brushed against Fiore's soft cheeks as she walked rather rapidly towards the old house. She didn't see that anyone was awake yet in the home, and began climbing up the leafless tree in the front. Just as she was making it to her usual perching branch, her foot almost slipped on a bit of ice that had accumulated in a crack of the tree trunch, but Fiore caught herself while a beadlet of sweat froze on the side of her face. That was close...I should be careful going down
Fiore sat on her branch and pulled her goggled over her eyes, noticing that their main meeting room was empty...she sat there for a good amount of time until she saw Izzy and Kyrin walk out of the door below. Fiore watched them with slight interest, making sure that she wouldn't be seen even with the piles of snow next to her.

Kyrin sighed, "You're okay Izzy, just not too loud..." Shivering again Kyrin looked to Izzy, whom was running in the snow, "Let's go, the snow will still be here when we get back." Kyrin was anxious to see Craig. Taking Izzy by the hand she led the girl away from the mansion. Taking one last glance at her beloved mansion Kyrin led the way up the street.
After only fifteen minutes or so of walking Kyrin's mood had taken a turn for the worse. She was cranky and wanted to be warm. The next thing I commandeer is going to be a car... Kyrin thought warily.
Passing by a lighted pub, Kyrin stopped. "We're going in there, Izzy." Pulling the girl into the pub, Ky sighed happily as warmth flooded her body.

Fiore watched as the two walked away and looked over to her gleaming watch and saw that her father would be home in an hour. She began climbing down, being careful not to slip and fall until her big toe touched the white ground. She walked back to her house, pressing her ice cold fingers to the security lock and opened the door.
Her grandpa was there to greet her and warned her that her father was going to be back any minute, that his flight got in early. Not a moment later, did the door open and out stepped a large man in a warm black coat. Fiore's eyes twinkled as she went for a hug.
Her father continued walking past her and spoke in a rather condescending tone that he usually spoke in towards her. "Fiore, I am very busy and don't have time for your games. I have my workers setting up a new piece of security in the basement that was just developed by one of our rival companies. It's a shower of a substance that can knock you out for several hours, activated by wall sensors. You have to test it by noon today." Her father kept her back to her as he spoke, her grandfather watching, knowing not to interrupt. "If you get knocked out then I will have one of my engineers take care of you for a short time, but then they will have to go back to work, so don't waste their time. You need to build up your endurance anyway."
Fiore nodded and smiled the entire time, just happy that her dad was home safely. She was about to tell him that she had beaten the new bank, but he was gone before she had the chance...her fists clenched a bit but her grandfather put his hand on her back, urging her to calm down. She wiped her ice boots on the mat on the floor vigorously and headed into the basement to test the equipment.

Izzy, happy that she hadnt upsetted Kyrin and wouldnt have to stay home, followed along into the pub, asking eagerly, "Can I have hot chocolate? With marshmallows?"
Izzy had noticed that Kyrin had seemed to get more and more tired during their walk and maybe she would feel better with some hot chocolate. "Do you want some too, Ky?"

As the mysterious figure appeared, the twins slowed to a halt, taking precautions. Beings? What beings? They had no followers! Ha! Of course, they didn't trsut others enough to have loyal retainers. No, they lived solely for each other and for profit. Something most kids who were privilaged didn't understand. After exchanging a quick look, they continued on to the Pizzaro, an old theatre they had embargoed for themselves. Briefly, they said their good nights about the moth eaten velvet curtains and seat cushions that were nearly rotting before they slipped into sleep.
~¤¤¤~
Rayne was the first to awken for the thin sheet of light from the ceiling's hole wafted down to her unsuspectedly. After a yawn, she nudged her brother, summoning him to stir. No movement, another nudge. Finally, after nudging him over and over, she became tired of it and carefully began to walk out of the theatre.
"Where do you think you're going without me?" Payne stated sleeply in his velvetine voice. Rayne rolled her eyes and grabbed a nearby seat cushion to throw at him.
"Look. I spent ten minutes trying to get you awake and all I have to do is walk off? Anyway, I'm hungry. Let's get some brekfeast." In a moment of minutes, the twins found themselves outside in the snow. Both of them walked shoulder to shoulder attempting to keep the precious warmth in. Neither of them were covered very well. Rayne had on her black capri's with tall black and white striped socks and a tank top while Payne was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. Both of them were in a bind as of late, their cash reserves on low from all the connections they had to pay. With a synchronized sigh, the twins lokoed up to the sky with their matching emerald eyes and thought, 'Perhaps its time to get a REAL job...'
