" Are you sure this is the orphanage?" Estrella asked Viola looking at the huge in front of her. The building was so huge and good looking, that she was beginning to have doubts if the kids actually came from here.
"This is the name of the orphanage they gave us... I still don't get why you want to see them again. ". Viola complained coming to stand beside Estrella.
Estrella tilted her head to one side carefully scrutinizing the building.
" Something draws me to those kids, I don't know what, but it's strong".
Viola just shook her head.
" I don't understand what you're talking about, but since we're already here, why not go see the children".
Viola walked in first and Estrella followed not far behind. Viola's dark brown hair bounced as she walked, and Eliza smiled. She was the one who convinced Vi to let her hair grow long, the girl loves cutting it short.
" Your long hair looks good on you". Estrella complimented Viola and increased her pave so she was walking right next to her.
" Everything looks good on me". Viola said with a smile, and Estrella punched her shoulder playfully.
" Welcome to Goldenrod orphanage". An old lady greeted them as they walked in.
The old lady stared at the two strange visitors. The first was a beautiful lady with white hair and red eyes, while the other was another beautiful lady with dark green eyes and dark brown hair. The second didn't look to strange, but the first... She couldn't just place a finger on her.
"Yeah, yeah ". Viola replied to the old lady's greeting. She just wanted this to be all over so she could go home.
Estrella nudged Viola, and the latter just muttered ' what'.
"I'm here to see a pair of twins". Estrella said looking at the old lady.
"Twins! We have lots of them, please come along". The woman lead them to a room and offered them seats.
"I'll be back with them."
Viola waved her hand and the seat the old woman showed them to sit on changed to something much new.
" Really?"Estrella raised her browns at her best friend.
" You know how much of a neat freak I am". Viola replied while raising her eyebrows back, then she slowly took a seat.
" Here, are some of our twins". The old woman came back with eight children. Two pairs were identical girls, one pair were two identical boys, while the last two were not identical, probably fraternal twins, dizygotic twins.
"Hello! " They all waved and greeted at the same time.
"Hi". Viola waved back, but Estrella just stared at them.
"These are not the ones I'm looking for, I'm talking of a boy, and a girl " She said pointing at all the pairs of twins in front of her.
Viola face palmed herself. That was the way Estrella was, if she wanted to be nice, she'll be nice, but if she wanted to be herself, she was a terrible person.
" Oh, we got those also, I'll just go get them. Come with me kids". The old lady took some of the kids hands and lead them out if the room.
" You know you could have said that in a way better manner right? " Viola asked after the old lady left.
" It's not my fault, those were not who I was looking for". Estrella shrugged, she was serene about the everything.
" Does she know that? " She asked again trying to make Estrella see her point.
"She does now". Estrella stated and Viola face palmed herself again.
" These are the male and female twins we have". The old lady came back again with two pairs of twins this time, both not what Estrella was looking for.
" Are you doing this on purpose?" Estrella asked intimidating the older woman who stepped back.
" Stella, stop". Viola yelled and Estrella stopped walking but she continued to stare at the woman.
" Mrs... " Viola left waiting for the woman to call her name
" ...Nielsen"
" Thank you".
Viola started again.
" Mrs Nielson, these are still not who my friend is looking for. Er... The twins my friend here is looking for is a boy, named Sky and a girl named Skylar, they're really cute so it's impossible for you to miss them".
"Oh, those children, I'll go get them for you right away". The old woman left again with the twins she brought.
" Es, we're not at home where you can do anything you like, they treat older people with respect here". Viola sternly told Estrella
" Older people..." Estrella scoffed.
" You and I know that I'm way older than her, meaning she should treat me with respect".
Viola just shook her head. Estrella could act like a kid sometimes, but it was only when she was in a good mood.
The old lady went to a corner of the room and called out respectfully.
" Young Master Sky and Skylar, someone is asking for you".
" Who is it? Is it dad?" A tiny female voice asked from inside the room
"No, young master Skylar, it's a woman and her friend".
The door opened and the twins came out from the room.
" Okay, take us to her". The old lady led them to where Estrella and Viola were seated.
" Are these the twins you were looking for?" Mrs Nielson came back with Sky and Skylar in hand.
" Aunty Estrella, Aunty Viola" The twins called in unison.
" Hey cuties". Viola greeted.
"Hey, guys how are you doing?" Estrella asked kneeling down to their level.
" We are fine, what do you want?" Sky said in a voice that took Estrella aback. He was speaking with command like he was uses to doing it.
" I just wanted to if you guys were fine..." She stood up and looked at them from head to toe, them she continued "... Which you most clearly are not."
Mrs Nielson who was by the side of the wall crunched her face in worry.
She asked the twins to take a bath, or allow someone bathe them, but they refused.
' They were trying to make themselves look bad on purpose, what they didn't know was that they were also making the orphanage look bad' She thought.
" Ms Estrella, right?" She heard the twins call her that, so it must be her name
"Our orphanage provided the best care..."
" I can see that... " Estrella responded with clear sarcasm.
" We are really fine here!" Skylar said when the grown-ups were talking about them like they were not right here!
Estrella knelt down again, facing the kids.
" Look, there's another reason I came here, I want to ask, how would you feel if I adopted you guys?"
" What!" Viola snapped her fingers and everything around them paused, the people the air, even time.
" You want to adopt them?" She asked again I'm disbelief.
" Well I asked how they would feel if I adopted them, theur answer would determine if I'll adopt them or not". Estrella shrugged getting up from her kneeling state.
" Seriously?"
" Look, I just feel some kind of. connection wkth them, and I want them close to me". Estrella sigh as she explained.
" You are too young..."
" I'm 200 years old, I doubt that's too young.." Estrella stated.
" Yes you're 200, but in human years, you're only 24, so yeah, that is too young!" What was wrong with her friend?
"Viola, I came here because I wanted to do different things, I wanted to live my life without anyone telling me what to do, and that's what I'm doing".
" But that doesn't mean adopting children? And did you forget, you're about to be someone's fiancee, meaning you won't have time". Viola yelled trying to put sense in her best friend's head.
" Oh I forgot about that". Estrella scratched her neck when Viola mentioned her becoming someone's fiancee, she had forgotten about that one tiny factor.
" That's easy to fix*. She looked up after thinking for a while.
" Since we love in the same house, you'll take care of them".
" Are you hearing yourself? ". Viola asked. She didn't even want her friend to adopt them, yet she'll be the one taking care of them?
" Vi, you can be their godmother, please, just let me do this".
Viola covered her face with her hands. Their was not talking her out of this.
" Fine, let's here what the kids have to say".She snapped her fingers again and everything unpaused.
" I was saying, that I wanna adopt you guys ". Estrella bent down again and continued from where she stopped.
The twins looked at each other, secretly telling themselves something.
" No thanks, we're fine here". Skylar responded shocking Estrella.
Viola who was behind them couldn't help but laugh at the rejection.
