In the Test household the kids are up to their usual antics. Johnny and Dukey are somehow on fire running around while Johnny's sisters chase after them with a fire extinguishers in hand. They run through the house, through the living room Johnny sets fire to the curtains as Susan and Mary spray it down quickly and continue the chase. They run through the kitchen past their dad who is making a meatloaf, Johnny bumps into his dad causing his dad to fall face first into the meatloaf, luckily he didn't catch fire but Susan and Mary still sprayed the entire room nonetheless. Johnny and Dukey ran out of the house, Dukey stopped, but Johnny wasn't looking where he was going, and bumped into someone who was at the door.
They both fell down the patio steps and the fire died out. Susan and Mary soon ran out the door looking for Johnny as they had already sprayed down Dukey. They saw the situation and quickly ran to Johnny and the unknown persons side. The unknown person quickly got up without a scratch and with a smile "I knew my gut was right in telling me to apply my force field" he then turned to the other three and the 'dog?'
"Hello, my name is Ivan Cross, your new neighbour" he said whilst holding out his hand for a handshake. Ivan was a handsome white haired young man, though he can be childish he is extremely intelligent and perceptive. He then realised there were three of them that he was greeting. Two more spectral hands hand appeared and extended from mid air and lined up with his hand. The Tests were very confused as to what is happening right now. Johnny got excited seeing such a cool guy doing cool things and immediately went to grab one of the floating hands. Susan grabbed the other spectral hand for both formality and curiosity. Mary looked at her siblings and sighed, she then looked at the young man extending his arm to her. She blushed. She looked away and shook his hand. The boy still had a closed eye smile as he greeted his neighbours.
"So⌠What was the fire and running about?" The boy asked honestly intrigued that this is what his neighbours may do."We we're doing an experiment with our brother" Susan said still inspecting the incorporeal yet touchable hand."You mean ON me!" Johnny shouted towards his sister."Yeah, yeah, whatever, anyway" Susan said directing her gaze back at Ivan "What are these made out of? And how do we acquire some?" She asked."Ah~ I actually made it. It's a form of biotechnology I integrated with myself through self surgery" he said full of pride and amusement when her thought back on it."That makes sense but what are they made of?" Mary a little bashfully as she pointed at one of the spectral hands. Ivan smiled "That's the neat part, their made of thoughts and no physical material, that why it's one of my favourites" Johnny looked confused as he listened while playing with one of the spectral hands, that seemed to be moving sentiently.
The twin's and Johnny's dad came running out of the house covered in foam. He slipped down the stairs but luckily the disembodied hands caught him. He stood up and with an infuriated tone shouted "Can someone please explain what was going on?" Johnny piped up saying "Uh, nothing?" The dad yelled "Nothing?! You expect me to believe you were running around on fire and I'm covered in foam for no reason." Ivan piped up with an intrigued look and a glint in his eyes "I'm also curious about that" the Test children looked between them embarrassed and ashamed."Well, we were conducting an experiment with Johnny and Dukey as the subjects, it should have been harmless but then they caught fire" Mary said looking down diagonally at the ground as the other two Test siblings looked at the ground regretfully as the dog was a few meters away acting ignorant of the situation.
Ivan's eyes glistened even more with curiosity "what experiments? What caused the fire? Can I join? Can I see yo-"
""NO!!!"" Both of the test sisters shouted.
Ivan leaned back holding his hands up in surrender "okay then, maybe another time."
