"c'mon cadets! First day of training, let's go!" Strike and Light Dash jolted out of bed after hearing their father blow the whistle he kept around his neck.

"Dad, please!" Strike groaned, rubbing his tired eyes. "Just five more minutes?"

"Not so fast, kiddo." Soarin replied. "It's your first day of school today."

"We know, Dad!" Light moaned, his green eyes scanning the room before looking up at his father. "But can't we just have at least five more minutes?"

Soarin smirked. "You two are just like your mother." He chuckled. "Stubborn as a mule."

"Heard that!" Rainbow Dash called from downstairs. The twins giggled at their mother's words as they sat up in their beds and stretched, with Strike hitting his head on the ceiling of the boys shared bedroom.

"Breakfast time!" Rainbow Dash called from downstairs. The smell of bacon and pancakes drifted up the stairs and into the bedroom. With a impossibly large grin, the twins raced downstairs and quickly ate their breakfast. "Slow down, boys!"

A short while later, Strike and Light have d finished their breakfast and packed their school bags, ready for their first day of High School.

"Got everything, boys?" Rainbow asked.

"Yep!" The twins replied, sliding down the stairs. "Today's gonna be awesome!"

"well," Soarin said. "You two better get going or you'll miss the bus!"

"Right!" Strike said. "See you later Mom and Dad!"

"Yeah," Light added. "Love you!"

"Be good, boys!" Rainbow called after them before the front door was slammed shut.

"Well, hey definitely have your personality, Crash." Soarin stated.

"hey!" Rainbow replied, gently punching Soarin in the shoulder.
