Step By Step (J&J)

[Cade Maddox]

Cade rarely enjoyed the outdoors. Way too much could go wrong, usually. It could rain. Or snow. Or be too hot. Or too cold. Or windy. Or...

But sometimes, one just wanted to be with nature, so he did his dance routine today just a short distance from the pond. Early in the morning, almost no one was here, and he could take advantage of the peace and quiet to focus on his steps. The ground was mostly flat (if a little wet), so he didn't have much risk of falling by anything other than his own two feet miscommunicating. And that happened a whole lot less than it used to.

However, Cade's feet didn't seem to be cooperating, and he quickly ended his routine to just sit next to the pond. Maybe he had too much on his mind. Maybe he didn't have enough. He loved being alone...but maybe sometimes he didn't want it...

[Jonathan & Jacob Bishop]

John and Jake loved being outside. There was just so much more room to do anything and everything. Of course between the two of them, they could get into ass much trouble and adventure indoors. But the outdoors were some much more open.

They didn't really have anything planned today, just messing around. It was nice enough outside that they were killing time between classes outside. Rain should be free later today, but right now, they were on their own. They were just wondering around outside. And arguing, as usual. Though their arguments were more just for fun than anything.

"Told you that we did alright on that science test," Jake said as they walked by the pond, giving his twin a playful shove.

"So maybe next time we don't have to study so much, nerd." John replied, with a stronger shove.

In no time at all the brothers were wrestling around on the ground, tumbling toward the boy sitting there. They paused their rolling around only after thy had almost tumbled right into him.

"Sorry, didn't see ya there!" "Sorry, didn't see ya there!" they said, grinning up at him while John held Jake in a headlock.
