Rebuilding The Bridges That We Burn: Oh, The Stories I Could Tell
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Nearly burning down the house? Afraid of water and your twin decides it will be a good time to learn how to swim? Madness? Probably…but that is how Luan and Theo grew up.
Disclaimer: Don’t own them. How sad.

“Theo started screaming that he was drowning….I had to drag his happy butt out of the water,” Luan said cheerfully.
Theo couldn’t help but snorted when everyone laughed around the table. He didn’t know how this conversation turned into a stroll down memory lane. He found that he didn’t like it very much.
“You are forgetting something, Lu.” He said in mild annoyance.
“What?”
“You never told them how I got into the water.”
“I gave you a little push.”
“A Little Push?!”
“You needed to know how to swim. You avoided the water since…well….” Luan said as he rubbed the back of his head.
“Yes…do finish that sentence, brother,” He said.
“Okay…it was accident! I didn’t know the dock was unstable.”
“Maybe it became unstable because you were jumping on it?”
‘Uhh…maybe?”
“So...I take you that Theo didn’t learn to swim your way, huh?” Casey said with a laugh.
“Nah…mom and dad finally brought him to the Y. So the emotional scarring was kept to a minimum,” Luan said with a laugh.
Hardly. He kept his mouth pressed together. Luan pushed him in that pool too.
“Emotional scarring? Really…I tend to remember a time when your electric guitar went crazy.”
“Oh, yes…that was bad! Mom and dad still have scratch marks on the door,” his brother said as he made a face.
“Dogs started to howl around the neighborhood and the cats tried to get out of the house. My ears were ringing for a solid week.”
“Mine rang for a month.”
He chuckled as everyone started to laugh again.
“Like you’re Mr. Innocent, how many times did we go to the ER because of your little stints as a monkey?”
“Those trees were perfectly safe…it was the branches that were the problem.”
“I love your logic, bro.”
“My logic is perfectly fine. You didn’t have to follow me up the tree, Lu.”
“Ahh…the wonders of having an animal spirit,” RJ said.
“You’re saying that my brother’s cat thing made him want to climb trees,” Luan said.
“It’s jaguar.” He said in annoyance.
“It couldn’t be any worse than RJ marking rocks with markers,” Dominic said in amusement.
“I didn’t want anyone to get into my training area,” RJ mumbled.
“Please…you scared a first year when you found him in your spot.”
“It was accident, Dom. I was having a really bad day.”
“Soooooo….his animal spirit explained the whole weird chair thing…I think I stick with the tree climbing brother, thanks,” Luan added.
RJ looked over at Luan and frowned.
“You didn’t seat in my chair, did you?” RJ asked.
He almost smirked as Luan panicked.
“No…I stopped him. I couldn’t become twinless, you know.”
Lu gave him a dirty look as he smiled innocently.
“But…I don’t remember any signs from my animal spirit when I was at home,” Casey added thoughtfully.
He snorted.
“You got to be joking. You are a body type. You are physically stronger than me or Lil. Why else do you think me and Lily make you unload the truck?”
“Hey!”
“Theo, you weren’t supposed to tell him that!” Lily shouted. Dominic and his brother started to laugh.
“Alright….you guys…As much fun as this is…Fran will be here soon. We need to get ready to open up,” RJ said.
He groaned along with everyone else as they got up
“Since Luan is here, perhaps, he can help in the kitchen?” Dominic said.
He nearly fell back into his chair.
“NO!”
The others looked at him in surprise.
“Come on…I haven’t burn down the kitchen in years.” Luan said.
He gave his brother a dirty look.
“That is from the man who caused 20,000 dollars in damage because of toast.”
“It was experiment!”
“Okay…Luan isn’t allowed near the stove…Now…off with you…I have some work to do!” RJ said.
Everyone got up from the table and started to head down stars. Luan came up beside him and threw his arm over his shoulder.
“You really didn’t need to tell them that, bro.”
“Please….I would like for RJ stay in business.”
Luan laughed.
“Beside, you are lucky that I didn’t tell them the best part,” He said as he made a face.
“Stop being so cruel, bro. I just wanted to see if it would work!”
He paused for a second.
“Is that the third or fourth time you burned down the kitchen because I tend to lose track.”
