Not wanting to be seen by anyone, Daniel and Alex quickly wobbled their way to the front door. Daniel rang the door bell at the same time Alex began to pound on the door. The two shared an annoyed glance before turning back to the door.
On the other side, they recognized the voice of Kyle. "Just a minute.... Wow!"
"Who is it?" another voice asked, Daniel and Alex realized it must have been Owen.
"It's Daniel and...the other kid...uh ...Alex." Kyle voice said again. in the next moment, the door opened. Standing in the doorway was the joined father and son. Even though they knew that Kyle and Owen were joined, just like them, seeing them like that still shocked them.
The four of them continued to stare at each other until Owen finally broke the silence. "Why don't you two come in and sit. I think we all have a lot to talk about."
Kyle and Owen quickly walked over to the living room with Daniel and Alex wobbling behind. Each pair took a seat adjacent from the other. Kyle and Owen seemed, to Daniel and Alex, comfortable with their... closeness. Kyle and Owen't body was slouched a bit in the chair, with their legs crossed. Owen and had his arm resting on the arm rest while Kyle's arm was propping up his head.
Daniel and Alex on the other hand were trying to be as far apart as possible. Each was leaning his head away from the other, with their legs and arms spread out too.
Alex spoke first. "I have to know... am I really stuck to... him for the rest of my life."
Kyle quickly answered, "No, We found a way to separate us all.
Owen glared, "We don't know that. You only found that the book has another volume about cures. We don't even know if the book has a cure for this, or if it is even around."
Daniel quickly cut in. "What book?"
Kyle and turned his attention back to Daniel and Alex. "Josh found a book in the school's library about magical artifacts." Kyle lifted the book off the table to show them. "This one only talks about the artifacts; but the next volume has cures in it. I was about to call Josh to see if he could check the library again when you guys knocked."
"By the way..." Owen started. "Where is Josh?"
