Chapter One: Emotional Mishaps

Tropical Beats looked around her bare room. Her walls that were full of posters of soccer players, tennis players, famous swimmers, and big pop artists were now packed away in a box. Her night table that she used to display her trophies and awards were also packed away somewhere in the pool of boxes. Not only that, but most of those boxes weren't even packed! Tropical Beats groaned as she got up and looked at the moving van outside. It was leaving at the crack of dawn, and she had to pack all her stuff away by then! Yea, like that was EVER going to happen. She just kept her eyes glued on the big truck, wishing that it would disappear. But no matter what was happening, she had to face reality. She and her family were moving! That's right, MOVING! Tropical saw her parents set some boxes down within the van. She sighed in frustration. Leaving behind her entire life just seemed purely stupid for her. She made plenty of good friends and memories over the past fifteen years. Leaving all that behind just seemed... silly. She sighed once again as she threw herself on her bed. She was glad that all her friends were coming over, but it would be the last time in ever that she would see them! Tropical faced facts and began to throw all her clothes from her closet on to her bed, the move still being on he mind. It wasn't until the sound of crying reached her ears. Her eyes widened, realizing that the depressing cries were coming from her own sister, Heaven Wings.

Scarlet swiftly made her way through the chaotic mess of items and boxes in the hallway without a sound. She reached the room of her brother and sister and peaked through the semi-opened door. She was surprised to see her younger brother, Thunder Clap, trying to comfort his twin sister, Heaven Wings. The conversation her younger siblings were having nearly made her eyes tear up.

"Heaven, please calm down." Thunder Clap said. "Crying won't make anything better. You have to accept it and move on."

But that didn't stop Heaven Wings at all. "So you're saying that you were able to get up and move on?! You're okay with moving away from all your friends and all the memories you've made over here?! Huh? Is that right, Thunder? You're willing to throw ten years of your life out the window?! Well let me tell you something, I'M NOT READY!" Heaven Wings turned her back on her brother and continued to cry.

Thunder Clap sighed and rested his hand on her shoulder. "I don't want to go, Heaven. Nobody wants to. Tropical began to block the two of us out, and mom and dad began to talk to themselves more than usual. But we actually need this. I don't want to loose my friends. I don't want to forget this place, but it will always have a special place in my heart. You've got to understand that. Mom and dad were able to get over it. Tropical just recently accepted it. And now... Now we have to accept it."

Heaven looked up to her brother. "I want to know how Scarlet can accept it. She spent all her life here in Hiddenville. She became who she is today here. She's stayed with her friends for eight years. She can't just let it go!" Heaven quickly got up from her chair and turned to her brother. "I don't want to leave Sweet Cider and Twinkle Light behind. The three of us are a trio, and I'm sure that you can't leave behind Ocean Tide either. And if you can leave her behind just like that, then I honestly don't know who you are!"

Thunder blinked, clearly dumbfounded. He opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it. He just didn't know how to reply. He just stared at his sister for what seemed to be ever. Tropical was looking at the intense staring competition the two shared. She knew how Thunder felt, and she knew of Heaven felt. She wanted to so badly know what the twins would do, but Heaven only turned her back on her brother, breaking eye-contact. She flipped her hair and stormed out of room, not even acknowledging the fact that her older sister saw everything!

Thunder just stared while her figure got smaller and smaller she she walked farther away. It wasn't until she was out of sight that he came back to his senses and called after her. "Heaven! Heaven, please! Wait!" He shouted as she ran out the room, only to bump into Tropical. His eyes widened as he just stared at her. "Ooooh... Uhm... Hey, Trops..!" He awkwardly said.

Tropical let a small smile form on her face. "First of all, never call me 'Trops' ever again." She said, earning a chuckle from her younger brother. After he was done, her smile turned into one of concern. "And don't worry, Champ. I heard everything. No need to explain. I understand where Heaven is coming from, and where you're coming from too."

Thunder Clap let out a relaxed sigh. "Thanks, sis."

Scarlet nodded in reply. "You done with the packing?"

"Nearly." Thunder replied.

"Phew, good!" Scarlet said with a sigh of relief. "Mind helping me so that I'll get more time to spend with my friends when they come over. It doesn't matter if we don't finish. They'll help me. You can go on and hang with Ocean Tide."

Thunder Clap smiled, but then it faded. "What about Heaven?"

Scarlet let out a faint sigh. "Don't worry. When we move, it will take some time to get used to everything, but then we'll soon have to get used to it." She said with a wink.

Both siblings walked side-by-side to Scarlet's room and began packing.

Also, I just wanted to write my feelings about how hard it was to move three years ago...:fluttershysad:
Nothing that should be a major part of me on this website.:pinkiecrazy:

Chapter Two: Thunder Clap and Ocean Tide

"Whoa, sis! I didn't know that you had this much stuff to pack!" Thunder Clap exclaimed as he looked at Scarlet's room. "It hardly has anything put away!" Thunder Clap raised an eyebrow at his sister. "You don't wanna move either, don't you?" He asked.

Scarlet sighed and then laughed. "Bro, you know me so well!"

The two of them began to happily chat even though they were five years apart from age, and siblings. They made organizing like a game. They gathered each item in one place and began to throw it in. Whoever completed the most boxes win! They knew it was stupid, but it was something fun to play.

~~~

"I win!" Scarlet said, beaming with pride. "I got four six boxes done, and you got two!"

"Yea, well... I kinda gave up when I got to half a box." Thunder Clap casually said.

"You can never take up a challenge!" Scarlet complained.

"And you always take up a challenge." Thunder Clap shot back. "It's annoying!"

"I'll calm down my spirit when you brighten yours up a bit." Scarlet said with a smirk. Thunder Clap stood there, not knowing how to reply. "Thunder, seriously! You've gotta know how to reply to stuff like this." Scarlet said with concern.

Thunder Clap vigorously shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll get it." He said with an unconvincing smile, but he put the matter aside. "Pretty weird that we packed your entire room." He said.

"Yea, I'll bring these boxes to the... Erm... Van..." Scarlet stammered as she picked up on box and slowly made her way outside.

Thunder Clap made his way back to the room he and Heaven Wings shared. He peaked through to see if she was there. Thankfully for him, she wasn't. He let out a sigh of relief as he swung the door wide open and sat down in the chair his twin was in a while before. He sat there in silence for a while, and then got up.

"I can't do this." He murmured to himself as he went to find Scarlet.

She was right there putting the last box inside the van. But the bad thing was that Heaven was right next to her. It looked like they've been... Talking...? Wait...

Shit! Thunder Clap thought. I can't face Heaven Wings now! Oh for Lauren's sake, help me find a way out of this!

"Hey, Thunder!" Scarlet called. Thunder Clap stood frozen in place. Scarlet raised an eyebrow at her brother. "Thunder! Get over here!"

Thunder Clap was about to walk over until he heard a car horn go honk honk! He looked to see a black Mercedes-Benz pull up in font of the house. Thunder Clap let out a sigh of relief, realizing that it was Ocean Tide's car. Emerged from the car was a short dark ocean blue girl. She had soft teal eyes and long wavy teal hair with a streak of hot pink on the right side. On the right side of her hair, a broach of the ocean tide rested upon her head. She wore a brightly colored teal T-shirt with lavender stars on it. She wore aqua shorts, and bright pink boots that went click whenever she walked.

“Ocean Tide!” He exclaimed, running towards the car.

Ocean Tide wore a soft smile. “Thunder Clap! I’m glad I’ll be able to see you before you move!” She happily replied.

They both high-fived and walked inside the house.

“So, how you doing?” Ocean Tide asked when they reached the room he and Heaven shared.

Thunder Clap sighed. “I really don’t know…” He said.

Ocean Tide looked at him with concern. “I know moving can be hard, but you have to accept it.”

“I’m not talking about me.” He said while looking down.

Ocean Tide looked at him, clearly confused.

“I’m talking about Heaven.” He said with a sigh. “She hasn’t been taking this lightly."

Thunder Clap felt a hand come to his shoulder. He looked up to see Ocean Tide staring down at him with a smile. “I know that it’s hard. I can understand Heaven. But I don’t think that’s the only thing bothering you.”

“How do you always know what’s going on inside of someone’s head?” Thunder chuckled.

“Dunno. Have a natural gift with empathy I guess.” She replied.

Thunder Clap’s smile disappeared. “You’re right. I’m not only concerned for Heaven, but I’m not feeling so well about the move either. I got to talk about it to Scarlet, but everything just still doesn’t feel right.”

“Mind telling me? I might be able to help.” Ocean Clap offered.

Thunder Clap nodded his head. “I just… Don’t know! I’ve spent all ten years of my life in Hiddenville! I just started middle school, and I love it just the way it is! I’m on the football team and the soccer team! I don’t want to leave that! What if I get to Springfield Junior High, there are no spots on any of the teams! And then I’m going to need to make new friends! I don’t want any new friends! I want to see Fruit Juice in science, and the two of us pairing up with you and Chill Wave. I want to be seated at lunch with you, Rosemary, Shining Crest, Night Breeze, Lilac Skies and my sister! I want to be at English with Rosemary, and everything with everyone I know!” He finished, looked down at his hands.

“T-thunder… Like I said, I know it can be hard, b-out you have to let it go.” She calmly said. She saw that Thunder Clap kept looking down at his hands. “Why don’t we play Candy Land and Monopoly for the last time together? Aren’t they your favorites?”

Thunder Clap slowly nodded his head. “Yea…”

All of a sudden, a loud honk was heard. They heard the shouting of Scarlet and Heaven.

“Their friends might be here now. Why don’t we play in the attic?” Thunder Clap asked.

Ocean Tide happily nodded her head, grabbed the board games, and followed Thunder Clap up in the attic.
