Leta, Ellery and Bliss waited outside of Frieda’s school. They had been asked by their parents to make sure the youngest made it safely home.

Ellery checked his watch, whistling to himself and ignoring the looks of his siblings.

“Right. What did the twins do now?” Bliss asked, rolling their eyes.

“I’m sure he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.” Leta giggled, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “It’s not like the troublesome trio were plotting in the garage again.”

“Leta!” Ellery complained, shooting a glare her way.

“What? You guys aren’t exactly discreet. It’s like you wanted all of us to know you were up to something. So, tell us, who caused the trouble this time.” Leta said innocently.

“Some of Caw’s friends. They said something Bes and Caw didn’t like.” Frieda said, grinning as she saw her siblings.

“Can we not talk about this here?” Ellery asked, checking his watch again. “Mum and Dad said they had something to show us tonight.”

“I hope they aren’t pregnant again. I think six of us is quite enough.” Said Bliss.

“Who knows? I reckon it’s got something to do with Dad’s job – he was expecting a promotion.” Said Leta.

The four stopped walking when the ground shook once again. What on earth was going on?
