The twins arrived at the doors and knocked. Seconds later, Kai answered and grabbed Krux's shoulder. "Tag, you two are it. Um, they're fed and make sure the one goes down for a nap. Great, thanks, bye." Kai summoned his dragon and flew away.

"What was that about?" Nix asked.

"They must have pets." Upon hearing that, Nix ran inside the monastery. "Nix, wait. They might not be used to strangers." Krux ran after his brother and found Nix standing in the hall looking into the living room.

"Um, Kai just left three very familiar kids alone. And I don't like the way they're staring at me." Krux peeked in and to his surprise, he saw Lloyd, Morro, and Ash giving them both dirty looks.

"What happened to you three?" The kids just kept staring. Nix got over his shock and approached the kids to hug them, but they scattered.

"Aw man." Was all he said.

"They don't want to be hugged right now." Krux replied. He then felt someone grab his legs and looked down to see Ash.

"Well, she likes you." Nix was crossing his arms.

"It's because I've known Ash for years and would never hurt her. So stop being jealous." Just then, Ash yawned. "And I'm guessing that you're the one who needs a nap." Ash ran back to her brother and cousin. The three were huddled in a circle.

"I wonder what they're talking about." Nix was then tackled to the floor by the three kids. "Brother, help me." Nix's pleas fell on deaf ears as he was tied up.

At around two thirty, everyone else arrived home and will berating Kai for leaving three kids home alone. "I did not leave them home alone. The twins are with them." Kai retorted.

"They probably don't know how to handle kids. You shouldn't have left." Nya replied. As they enter the living room, they were surprised to see Nix tied up, Morro and Lloyd playing a video game, and Ash sleeping on the couch. Nix looked at them.

"Help, they tied me up and Krux is the ringleader. He helped them." Everyone laughed until Krux shushed them.

"I guess you two know how to handle kids after all. And you even got Ash to nap. Impressive." Nya told them.

"All you have to do is just go along with whatever they're playing. Which Kai didn't want to do." Krux replied. Ash, Morro, and Lloyd were back to normal and the rest of the day was peaceful.
