Ara and Max danced around the room, singing along to the song 'Angel' using hair brushes as prop microphones.

"You must be an angel, I can see it in your eyes.."

El bopped her head to the rhythm of the music as she looked through magazines.

"Full of wonder and surprise..."

She made it to a page with a boy on it.

"Oh, you found Ralph Macchio." Max said.

"Macchio?"

"Yeah, he's the Karate Kid." Ara explained. "Hai-yah!" She laughed before looking back down at the magazine.

"He's so hot, right?" Max asked. "I bet he's an amazing kisser, too."

"Hey -uh- is Mike a good kisser." Max questioned. Ara looked up, something that didn't go unnoticed by the others. Ara shook her head at the red-head who smirked in triumph.

"Eating." El started. "They say we're a species."

"What?" The twins said.

"'Emotion, not logic.'"

"What?" Max repeated.

El removed the blindfold.

"What happened?" Ara asked.

El broke out into laughter. "What.." Max said as she and Ara couldn't help but laugh as well.

Their laughter was cut short when they heard a car pulled up to the house.
