As I'm walking down the stairs to breakfast, I passed an angry looking Jesus. I smile at him, but he gives me this look like everything is wrong and storms past me. "Wonder what's wrong with him...", I thought as I continued into the kitchen, the smell of bacon and fresh coffee wafting to my nose. I take a deep breath, savoring the smell, before sitting down next to Mariana, my sister. The seat was in an odd spot, so I assumed Jesus had sat there prior to me.

"Good morning, Judicorn, how are you this morning?" Mariana asks before grabbing some eggs from the serving plate in front of her.

"I'm pretty good, though I got woken up from a really good dream.", I respond, saying the last part with obvious disdain.

"Oh, well, maybe you'll have it again sometime!"

"I hope."

As I grab a plate and reach for some bacon and a piece of toast, Callie comes down and races out of the door, barely getting the sentence "I'll be to school on time, talk to you all later, love you!" out before shutting the door behind her. That confused me, but not as much as what happened next.

Jesus comes back down and asks "Mariana, where did you put my money."

"Jesus, I didn't touch your money, okay?"

"Then why did I find it in your dresser?"

"YOU WENT IN MY ROOM?!", Mariana yelled fiercely at Jesus.

"Yeah, because I knew you stole my money, and I needed it back."

Stef interjected, "You know what guys, take this upstairs, we would like peace and quiet while eating breakfast."

"Moms, tell Mariana that she needs to stop taking my money, I need it for my stuff.", Jesus pleads

"Jesus is right, Mari, stop it. Next time, you're grounded for a week.", Stef says sternly, "And Jesus, please control your anger. We don't need you invading Mariana's privacy."

"Fine..." they both say at the same time.

Brandon, my other brother, who was sitting there looking amused at the fight going on between the twins, now looked more serious as he asked Stef and Lena, "Hey moms, can I go on a date tonight?

Lena said "Sure, but you know the rules, home BEFORE eleven. You have school tomorrow."

"Alright, thanks, moms."

At that point, I remembered that I wanted Connor to come over today. "Moms, can Connor come over and play today?"

"Sure, Jude.", they say at the same time. The do that sometimes, it's kinda weird.

"Alright, thanks, moms!"

After a few minutes of silence other than the clinking of plates, forks, and knives, Lena announced, "Alright guys, two minutes and we'll be leaving! Eat and get things together, then pile in the car!"

I was pretty full, so i decided to get up, put my plate in the sink, and head to the car to wait to go to school. My dream was now on the front of my mind. I've had dreams like that before, but they never went that far. What was that dream telling me? Maybe I'll find out at some point.

We all piled in the car, minus Callie obviously, and Lena started driving off to school. Nothing very exciting happened on our way to school, except for Lena getting mildly annoyed at someone for not using their turn signal.
