Ty and Ky got to the bottom of the stairs, and quickly slipped past Dustin and Justin--they decided to show those two their conjoined state a little later. Dustin and Justin went out the front door just as Ty and Ky approached the kitchen.
"Yes?" Ty asked.
"Your dads want to see you in the library," said a female voice. Ty wondered if it was June or one of her sisters; what he did know was that he had made June and Mark--along with their conjoined siblings, of course--into his true family members.
When Ty and Ky stepped into the library, they expected to see Mark and his conjoined brother(s). What surprised the boys was their dads' appearance: two arms and two legs, along with a widened torso, but with FOUR heads! Mark was now one of a group of conjoined quadruplet brothers! As the two-headed boy(s) searched through new memories, they were able to identify which head was which. From their dads' left-hand side to right, their names were Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They wore blue jeans that appeared to be custom-made, along with what seemed to be a custom-made shirt that had a row of four holes for their heads. As far as Ty and Ky were concerned, their dads looked like a four-headed boy that they saw in an old Leapster commercial.
"Hello, boys," said Matthew.
"Hi, dads," Ty and Ky said simultaneously.
"You two might find this weird," Mark said, "but we had a strange dream the other night."
"What was it about?" Ky asked.
"This might sound strange, but we dreamed that we were each separate sibling," Luke said, "you know, one head each."
"Really?" Ty asked. Apparently, his wish had altered his family's memories, and they now believed that they had all been born with conjoined siblings--including the siblings that had been wished into existence a few minutes ago.
"Yep," John said, "and it sounds a bit ridiculous for someone in our family to be dreaming that they had their own body."
"But that's just how our family is," Matthew said.
"Yeah. We can't help it if everyone in our family was born with conjoined siblings," Mark said.
"It only seems as though no one understands our relationships the way we do," Luke said.
"You boys want to read something?" asked John.
"Maybe." Ty said.
"In a minute." Ky said.
Ty and Ky left the room, surprised by what they had seen. Mark's body was now large enough for four identical heads, all of which were siblings and completely unaware of what had happened through Ty's wish! This got the two thinking: what else had changed? What would June look like with two extra heads? Would the boys have the same friends? And what did their dads mean when they said that no one understands their relationships? The boys though about these things as they wondered what to do...
