Rain as soon as entering the room looked at Steven who was coming out of Sophie's bathroom. He smiled at her while she ignored and looked towards Sophie who was holding the door open, "Is he going to stay here?" She asked her.
Sophie closed the door behind her and walked put to the piles of books beside the cupboard and sat on the floor crossing her legs in front of her. "I don't know."
Steven looked at Rain, "I don't have anywhere to go. I might have to stay."
Rain ignored him, "Um.. you can try and stay in my room for today Sophie." Sophie nodded.
Feeling the tension in the room Sophie decided to try her escaping strategy, though she wanted to talk to Steven but she was not in mood to go against Rain. " I'll get one chair from your room, so that you can sit."
Sophie git up and without waiting for any of their reply exit the room, while Rain tried protesting but couldn't stood awkwardly in the centre of the room.
Steven walked towards the bed while rubbing his wet hair to make them dry with a towel. He wanted to say something to Rain but was a bit pissed at her behaviour.
He threw his towel over the desk while sitting on the bed, Rain walked towards the desk and removed the towel and threw it over to Steven and sat on the chair.
The towel roll hit Steven's head, "Oww!"
"What was that for?" He asked irriteted.
Rain shrugged, "I wanted to sit, and I didn't saw you their."
"I am not invisible." He Threw the towel back at her which hit her straight on the face.
Sophie exited her room thinking that everything would be solved once they are left alone and had to talk to each other, so she took her time while in Rain's room, after about 10 minutes she thought that they would have patched up till now so she carried the green bean bag up and went towards her room.
While exiting she noticed it was near 12:30 and decided she will talk to Steven tomorrow as she needs to sleep.
She took hold of the bean bag from her left hand while slowly opening her room's door from right, after the door was open a crack she took hold of the bean bag with both of her hands and pushed the door open.
"What the hell!" She exclaimed.
The room was a mess with pillows, books and her blanket on the floor scattered, while Steven was beside her bed with pillow in his hands petrified in one position and Rain petrified as well with Sophie's favourite book in her hands.
Sophie felt a rush of anger, she thought I left them to patch up not fight. Sophie was angry as well as she was thinking of sleeping in her clean room not this mess, now she will have to clean all this, no, why would I? She thought, they did it, they will clean it too.
Rain was standing innocently beside Sophie's desk now, while dusting off the nonexistent dust from Sophie's favorite book which she used for fighting Steven.
On the other hand Steven stood near the bed adjusting the pillow on the bed, like he never was the one who was about to hit Rain from that same pillow.
"What is all this." Sophie growled.
"He did it,"
"She did it."
They both yelled at the same time while pointing fingers at each other.
"Oh, Shut up you two." Sophie yelled.
Sophie made both of them clean the room, arraign the books and make the bed while she sat on her desk yelling commands at them.
After all the cleaning was done, they all sat: Rain on the bean bags, Steven in the bed and sophie on the chair in front of the window.
Steven laughed to which Rain snapped,"What's funny?"
"It's perfectly time for our 1 am meetings. Why are you so snappy?" He chuckled.
Sophie to not let the fight begin again started before Rain could say anything, "Oh, come on Rain, he is back after 2 years and he will be gone in 7 days or so, do you really want to waste time with him just because he wasn't their to attend your birthday party?"
"I…" Rain got up, "Need some sleep." She left saying that. Though Steven noticed her face was a little red.
Steven looked at Sophie and grinned.
"Don't. I am not taking your side. You are just as stubborn as she is…" Sophie stated " I left a 20 year old guy and a 17 year old big sister thinking that they will act like an adult and solve their problem but no, I, a 14 year old girl is mature then you guys. Silly of me to leave you guys alone, without discussing you guys started a fight and ruined the whol room…"
Steven tried to jump in middle, "she start…"
" I don't care who started It but I thought that you guys were mature enough to end it but no…"
"I tried…"
"Did you really? Why do I think you didn't."
Steven kept mum untill Sophie was done as he knew he would never get chance to speak over her, after she was done, he said sorry to which she only nodded and said, " I am tired, let's talk tomorrow, you can sleep here for tonight…"
She started towards the door while saying, "Good night, I am in Rain's room." And left.
Steven looked at now closed door and chuckled. Both the girls are really something, he thought.
He sat on the bed and pushed his shoes that were beside the bed under it, so that they couldn't make him fall if he got up from that side. He was not clumsy but he thought of himself as a clueless,idiot waker, because he wakes up and doesn't remember half of the things.
After he was done he let himself fell on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, Sophie was more mature than the Sophie whom he left 2 years ago and Rain, he didn't know how to say.
The sister who made him feel worst and cautious was friendly and kind towards him now and the sister who made his emotions a mix mess and who was always kind and sweet was rude and mean to him.
Maybe he shouldn't judge the sisters this fast, it's been only few hours and also it's been 2 years for them, though it was only 1 for Steven but it was a big gap, 2 years change people and he should accept the change if their are any as he accepted the fact that Sophie was sweet and kind.
He sighed, I'll have to book a hotel for 7 days near by, people usually have their home here in human world too if they came yearly to visit here, in few years I might have a home here too as I am going to come here often, for business as wel as the sisters.
He closed his eyes while thinking, I will wait for tomorrow then ask Rain about her training, I hope she could control them, it would be a huge problem if she couldn't, after all once she is 18 she will have to join the academy here. With his thoughts running wild over what would it be like when Rain would be in his world, he started dozzing off.
Rain went into her room and tried sleeping, but couldn't, so she waited, she waited for Sophie, or maybe Steven to come.
About 15 minutes later Sophie came silently in the room and went inside the bathroom, after about 5 minutes she came back outside and peeked at Rain. Rain smiled to which she exclaimed, "I thought you were sleeping."
"I tried." Rain murmured.
Sophie slid into bedsheets beside Rain, "And couldn't, why?."
"I don't know." Rain mumbled and kissed Sophie over the head, "Good night birthday girl."
Sophie giggle, "it's 1 already, not my birthday."
"For me it is." Rain chuckled and added, "Did you think I was rude Today?"
"Yes, a little. Why were you though? You were waiting for him and now when he is here you are rude and mean to him?"
"I… Sow…" she looked at her sister then at the ceiling, " I can't use my powers Sow, what am I to tell him? "
Sophie looked at Rain, "So what? Powers can come back but he won't be back in 2 years after this, you will cry again. Then why ignore him now?"
Sophie was looking at Rain and Rain looked back at her, "When did my little sister grow up?" She chuckled.
"Today." Sophie laughed. While giggling both the sisters fell asleep.With lots and lots of thoughts running through their mind and spilling themself in their dream to become a nightmare or a fairytale.
