Olive: *walking slowly back home*
~~~~~~~~

Oil: I have detention.

Olive: you do?! *looks at him sadly* What did you do?

Oil: Me and this kid-

Olive: A kid?

Oil: Yeah, I think his name was like bruce or something, anyways we pulled the fire alarm and-

Olive: You.. already have a friend?

Oil: ... well yeah? I mean you'll always be my best friend, but now that we're in different classes, I got lonely so I started talking with some of my classmates.

Olive: Ha. Yeah, right. *clears his throat* Well uh.. see you at home. *walks away from him*

Oil: Olive? *watches him leave* olive...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Olive: *wipes his tears* I guess I knew in our pre-teen years we would start drifting apart, I just never expected it to be so soon. *starts crying*

Girl: *pats his head* There there. Don't cry.

Olive: *stops and looks around*

~ Nothing ~

Olive: *starts walking again*

Girl: *floats in front of him* You stopped crying! I'm glad.

Olive: *stops* W-who... w-what...

Girl: Oh you can see me!

Olive: w-well I-I did just stop t-twice...

Girl: I just thought you were being paranoid.

Olive: Who are you?

Girl: I'm just a girl.. who died a long time ago in this town.

Olive: What's your name?

Bea: My name is Bea.

Olive: How'd you die?

Bea: I was hit by a car.

Olive: o-oh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oil: *scratches his head walking home from school* I saw tears... I wonder if he thinks I don't wanna hang out anymore?

Bea: He seemed really upset. *floating next to him*

Oil: I know. I called out his name twice, but he didn't say anything.

Bea: You just need to straighten things out with him.

Oil: I think I know a way. *looks at Bea* Y'know Olive's favorite food is- GHOST!! *jumps away from her crashing into a wall*

Bea: You can't eat ghosts silly! *giggles*

Oil: W-who are you?! A-and how do you know about Olive?!

Bea: W-we j-just talked! *giggles* You and your brother both stutter.

Oil: Wait- How can we see you?

Bea: Hmm... you must have powers.

Oil: How? Our Dad told us we were born without powers.

Bea: hmm... I don't know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Satan: Easy. You both have strong powers like your old man.

Oil: Okay.

Olive: So cool!

Satan: But. You both cancel each other

Olive: Cancel each other out?

Satan: Yes, you both are equal, which is why you're twins!

Olive+Oil: So cool!!

Satan: See? Equal. You two are so in sync that you basically cancel each other out. You both need to control your powers in order to get them to work, because right now, you can't do anything while you both live under the same roof.

Oil+Olive: *looks at each other and nods* We'll try our best!

Seeing ghosts is one of their abilities, they're demons, once they master their powers they'll be unstoppable!! Like Mel and Flaz! Or Flinn and Joflix
