We both are different, but that makes us the same

We both are different

The door opened, and in came a ginger haired girl. She was carrying a tray of food and some cups. "Hey Zed, I was won-" her high squeaky voice stopped when she spotted Tango. The two just started a weird, silent staring contest. Tango was beyond confused on who the girl was and why she was here. He looked hopefully toward Zed. Luckily, he got the message.

"So, um, this is Tango," Zed nervously pointed to Tango, looking everywhere but the girl. The girl just stared blankly at the both of them, still standing by the door.

The girl looked directly into Tango's red-amber eyes. She searched his face for something, which unnerved Tango very much, but eventually gave a small smile. "Hello Tango, my name is Gem, I'm Zed's older sister."

Tango looked between the two dumbfoundedly. How the fuck were they siblings!

Zed had short fluffy blond hair, but Gem had curly ginger hair. He had shining amethysts eyes, while she had dark blue eyes. Even their personalities were different! Zed was always jumpy and shy. Gem seemed to carry a bold confidence with her. He wouldn't be surprised if Gem was taller than Zed. The only thing they had in common was that they were both hybrids. Zed was obviously a goat hybrid, and Gem appeared to be some type of deer hybrid. The antlers, doe ears, and freckles kinda gave it away.

"So, I was going to ask if you wanted some snacks, but I see you're a little bit busy." She said slowly, still trying to get used to the idea of her brother inviting a stranger into their home.

"Sorry Gem, it's just, I um..." he tried to find the words to piece the situation together, but was stopped by Gem.

"It's fine Zed, just warn me next time. Okay?" She cheerfully supplied. He nodded shamefully.

She set the tray of food down on the table, Zed helped her by sorting some books and papers out of the way. She wished them good luck, and instructed them not to damage anything, and left.

While nibbling on some bread with honey spread on it, Tango started up a conversation. "Your sister is really cool, just letting you do experiments and trusting you enough to let a total stranger stay."

Zed nodded along, a spark of admiration in his eyes. "Yeah, she's the best. Very sweet when you get to know her."

Tango thought about his brothers, they definitely wouldn't allow him to do anything Zed was doing. He sighed sadly, he wished he could be normal like Zedaph.

"What's wrong?" He asked Tango worriedly.

"Nothing. Just thinking how my brothers would be furious if I did anything you were doing, " he pushed his problems away in the back of his mind.

Zedaph's expression turned into something between sympathy and understanding. It made Tango think, how could Zed know If he only had a sister? He actually was about to ask him if he had any other siblings when he walked over to the other side of the room. He picked up a few bottles. "Ready for round two?"

All other thoughts left his mind as he thought about all the fun he could have.

He liked Zed, he was fun and smart. Maybe, he could make an actual friend.

Impulse walked along town square with his hands in his pocket. He looked around the place. There were some stalls selling weaers like quarts, wood, crystals, and meat. The roads were a shining cobblestone lined with quarts, with amethysts littered about. When the sun shined its glorious golden beams down on the bustling city, the whole place seemed to light up in a purple ethereal dust glow. It was a gorgeous sight, but Impulse wasn't here to see any sights. He was looking for something, or more importantly, someone.
