After 3 weeks of traveling, they finally reached Chicago, Illinois.

Life in Chicago was more full of life then any city they passed on the way there. The twins were in awe at the skyscrappers and buildings of all shapes and sizes. "Wow Char!, This is soooooo neat!" Heidi gawked at the magnifience of the city. "Yeah, I know, huh!. This is sooo great!. See, what did I tell ya huh? We made it!" Charlotte said, looking at her sister who was staring at her. Char could plainly see the excitment in her sisters eyes. "Yeah, you did." Heidi smiled. Charlotte giggled. Heidi giggled too. After getting into town they got off their horses and decided to walk awhile. The pavement was getting harder. Char looked down at the ground and frowned. 'Not good for our horses hooves' she thought. just then she looked at both of the horses hooves. "Heidi, I think we need to find a blacksmiths shop soon" she said. "Why? Is it the horses. I thought we just fixed that problem 5 cities ago?" Heidi asked. See, before the tradity, Liza had just got her horses new horseshoes, but 5 cities ago what was left of their money, they had to use for the horses. So, you might imagion that after 3 days without food was bad. "But look at them. Their starting to wear down again. If we walk more then ride, we can stretch these horseshoes for at least a week. Maybe less depending on the situation" Charlotte said. She bent down and lifted Pepper's left front hoof. It looked alright, but it was starting to look warn. "But, how are we going to pay for them? We have no money, so how will be ever consiter it??" Heidi asked. Char bent back up and dusted off her hands. "I guess if the blacksmith needs help, he can give us a job to pay off the debt" Charlotte diden't want to and nither did Heidi, but life was tougher now and they had to survive. "But first before we go find a blacksmith, lets go check out the shelter" Char said, gripping her reins. "Do you know where to go. I mean, we diden't write it down" Heidi said. Looking worried now. "Relax sis, I remeber. On the way here i kept repeating the addie. It's 12486 West. Corner Rd. Lot 12. All we have to do is ask for directions and were off" Char grinned. Heidi half grinned. Heidi then grabbed Mika's reins and the both of them went to go find someone who knew where the shelter was.

~~~

Meanwhile not too far away, Charlene Davidson is packing food and fresh clothing in to a box. After it was full she called to a figure packing stuff in to the truck.

"Modo! Got another one here for ya!" Charley yelled. Modo walked over and picked the box up with ease. Another tall figure came over towards them.

"Thanks for letting us come today Charley-girl I really want to find out if the Plutarkians had anything to do with that bombing" Throttle said.

"Well you'll be pretty darn lucky to get any information out of them, the few of them that are there have all clammed up, not surprising really after what they've been through" Charley explained. Vinnie came sauntering in and looked out of the window.

"Wow, look bros, there's two people outside walking horses, it seems to me that they're heading for the shelter!" Vinnie called in disbelief. Charley just shrugged it off to his over-active imagination and climbed in to the truck and turned the key.

"Come on guys, get ya rears in gear!" Charley yelled.

Heidi and Charlotte knocked on the shelter door, a friendly female face poked out.

"May I help you two girls?" She asked.

"Yes, me and my sister used to live in Kansas we've been travelling for a month and we are very hungry" Charlotte answered business like. The lady let them in and showed them to a couple of makeshift beds. She left them alone as another knock on the door caught her attention. Heidi eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Ah Charley! Just in time, we've got a couple of young girls in all the way from Kansas they said and they are very hungry" The lady greeted. The twins saw a lady in blue over-alls and black leather trousers and three very tall bikers come over to them. Heidi shrank closer to Charlotte who put a protective arm around her.

"Hi my name's Charley and these three are Throttle, Vinnie and Modo, I've got some ham and cheese if you want some" Charley offered. The twins' eye's lit up and the devoured the food quickly giving some cheese to the horses who were just outside the window. The shortest of the trio of biker's turned to the others.

"I told you I saw two girls with horses but would you believe me? Noooooooo!" Vinnie complained. Throttle bonked him up the side of the helmet and knelt down beside the girls.

"Do you two know who bombed your city?" Throttle asked gently. Charlotte started to answer but all the feeling that were stuck inside Heidi burst out.

"Somebody bombed our home town! We were in a bomb shelter-just me and Charlotte and our horses, we found our parents- DEAD!! And our city destroyed and we've be travelling here for a month!!!" Heidi stopped screaming and sobbed into her sister who herself was un-able to stop the tears falling from the terrible reality. Modo looked down on the two shaking girls and knelt down besides Throttle, he tilted up the chin of one of the girls and his heart cried out at the pain he could see in her eyes.

"Hey, how about you two come with us for a while? We could talk and get you some more to eat" Modo asked gently. Heidi nodded wiping the tears from her face. They all went outside and Charlotte climbed on to Pepper's back and Heidi on Miss Mika. Suddenly three bikes came riding around the corner both horses started to rear up but Charlotte being the better horse rider calmed Pepper down, but Miss Mika started rearing and bucking, Heidi holding on tight, Miss Mika kicked up really high and Heidi went hurtling to the ground just in front of Throttle. Vinnie bent down besides her and said with a worried voice.

"Hey kid! Are you ok?" everyone else looked down worried as Heidi shook her head to stop her self from spinning.

"WOW! Can I do that again?" Heidi asked. Charlotte mouthed 'Unbelievable' and helped pull Heidi up, when she was up right Heidi rubbed her sore back.

"Second thoughts! It hurts too much! Ow!" Heidi complained.

"Maybe you should drop your horses in to a blacksmith's for a while they seem to need new shoes anyway" Charley suggested. The twins nodded and got on behind the Mice, Heidi behind Throttle (Author's note: Wa hey!) and Charlotte behind Modo.

~~~

A few minutes later the bros and the twins were riding behind the bros and on their way to a resturant for food.

~~At the Resturant~~~

The twins, who were famished, ate more then they thought. 4 hotdogs and one big bowl of chill. The guys and Charley kept their eyes on them the whole time. Watching them eat. Charlotte, who looked up from her chill suddenly felt embarresed. "I'm sorry for our manners. It's just that we have not eaten in so long. I forgot when was the last time we actually ate something eatable." Charlotte said, smiling sheeplishly.

Charley giggled and the guys just chuckled. "I remember. It will be a week this Thursday" Heidi said perfectly. She has now finished her bowl of chill. Charlotte blinked. Then she smiled "Leave it to you to remember sis" Charlotte smiled then took another bit of her food.

Charley and the guys started to laugh. Not to long after they did, the twins soon joined in.

After the twins were done eating, the silence stopped. Charley asked "So, do you know how your state was bombed?" The twins looked at each other then looked back at them. Char finally said "No, we don't."

Heidi just shook her head. She was trying vary hard to stop the tears from flowing down in public. Char looked over at her sister and saw the hurt, she then placed a hand on her sisters and smiled at her. Heidi smiled back. Char knew what Heidi was going through, she wanted to be

there for her sister in anyway possible. Charlotte looked back twards the others. She streightened up her faceial features to more serious.

"I'm sorry" Throttle said. Charlotte waved her hand side to side in a guesture "don't worry about it". "No worries Throttle. It's not your fault" Charlotte assured him. Modo cleared his throat and said "I hate to change the subject, but I'm curious. What are your names?" then he looked at Char and contiuned "I am assuming your name is Charlotte. From what your sister said that is" Modo said. Charlotte nodded. "That's right. And this is my twin sister Heidi" Char said ,looking over at her sister who still looked sad and she looked tired. "Yeah, i can see the family resemblince." Charley grinned.

Char smiled.

After about an hour of talking (Not about the tradic exsploshion)

Char just now noticed something. The guys kept their helmets on.

Even indoors! 'Hummmmm, i wonder what their hiding?' Char said to herself as she ovbserved the guys. While Charlotte was looking at Throttle who was talking to Charley and his friends, Char out of the corner of her eye she saw something flick. She saw in again a few seconds later.

She got to the point where her curiosuity coulden't hold no more so she

bent down and looked under the table. For what she saw was purely in shock. Throttle appeared to have a tail. A slim tail that reminded her

of a mouses tail. Charlotte mouth dropped open. She quickly put herself together when Vinnie said "What are you looking at??" Charlotte sat streight up and said in a cool fashion "nothin' really, I just thought I saw a spider" Heidi cringed. "Was there one??" she asked. She looked scared. "Yeah, but it scurred away in a crack in the wall" Charlotte was lying through her teeth, but she did not want no suppishions. Not now. Hopfully not ever.

Throttle however had spotted Charlotte's sudden nervousness and leant over to Modo.

"Do you think we should tell them about us?" Throttle asked. Modo thought for a second then shook his head.

"Nah, that would just scare the poor darlin's more," Modo answered. The twins full from they're meal walked to the ladies room at the back of the restaurant as soon as they were gone Charley started talking.

"Did you guys notice the way Charlotte kept protecting Heidi it's clear she's the stronger one of the two" Charley stated. Vinnie thought for a few seconds and then spoke.

"I'd hate to be them from what Heidi told us in that out burst they've been through a lot I mean they found there parents dead that's rough" Vinnie said. No one got the chance to answer as the kids came back.

"Well we had best be getting back to the shelter maybe picking up our horses on the way" Charlotte suggested.

The guys and Charley looked at each other then smiled. Throttle spoke up first "How would you girls like to come and stay with us??" Throttle asked. "Yeah, bro good idea. That shelter is way to cramped up for two lonely girls, so come and stay with us. We'll take care of you" Modo said. His warm smile made the girls smile. Char and Heidi looked at each other then nooded. "Yes, ok. We will go" Char said, smiling happliy. Just then a sudden thought struct Heidi "But what about our horses?" The guys faces went from happy to a slight frown "I donno about the horses...." Throttle's sentence was cut off short by Charley suggestion "How about putting them up at my mom's house? She loves horses. She will help you take care of them" Charley's eyes show sincerity. The twins eyes lite back up. "Really!? Do you think you

mother would mind? I mean we don't want to impose.." Charlotte looked at Charley. Charley kept her smile "Naw, are you kidding. My mom loves kids and horses. She woulden't mind. Besides, we got the advantage" Charley's smiled turned into a knowing grin "Actually she will invite the suggestions" Char blinked "How?" "Yeah how Charley-girl" Vinnie asked. He had the most puzzled exspression on his face. Charley could not help but giggle "What!?" Vinnie asked. "Because my mom heard about the tradity that happened to all those people. When I tell them that we adopted two girls then she will agree without hesitation" Charley winked at the girls. The twins smiled. Vinnie smiled deviously "Awwww, Charley girl you are soooo good!" he said, he then proceeded to put his arm around her but the look that came from her made him move away like lighting. Heidi giggled. Char just grinned. Heidi then said "Well, what we waiting for?! Lets go!" Heidi cheered. Char rolled her eyes playfully then looked down at the guys and Charley "My sister" she pointed top Heidi who looked truely happy "You gotta love her" everone laughed. After paying the food pill, then returned to the bikes and road and went to the Blacksmiths to get the horses.

After getting the horses, the guys along with their newly adopted twins, they rode with the twins horses to Charley's mothers house.

~~At Charley's Mom's house~~

Mrs. Davidson sat on her porch drinking coffee when the Biker Mice rode in. Mrs. Davidson knew the bikers well and she noticed the woman with them but she was puzzled to who were the younger girls and what was the guys pulling horse trailers for? She got up from her rocking chair and walked down to the driveway where Charley trotted over to her mom and said "Hi mom!, how are you??" she gave her momma a big hug. "Oh, I'm fine dear, but just two questions....Who are the two young ladies and what is a horse trailer with horses doing here at...." she paused to look at her watch, it said 4:50pm in the afternoon "At almost 5 in the late afternoon dear??" her mom finished the sentence with a look at the trailer that held two horses. "It's kindof of a long story mom. Why don'twe all go int othe house and discuss it over coffee" "And rootbear" the guys called. Char and Heidi blinked then looked at each other and giggled. The guys, the twins and Charley were soon inside and talking to

Charley's mother who was speechless the whole time Charley exslpained what happened. Mrs. Davidson sat in her favorite chair and drinked a cup of coffee. She listened closely to Charley's exsplnations and the guys claimes. Finally after Charley was done and the guys were through.

Mrs. Davidson put down her coffee mug and looked at the twins "So, dears, you would like me to put you horses up here while you live in town with the guys and Charley??" she asked. The twins shook their heads yes. Mrs. Davidson smiled warmly "Oh come now. From what I understand you two know how to speak well. Please say yes or no." she kept her warm smile and looked at the shy twins. "Yes ma'am" Charlotte finally said. "Yes ma'am" Heidi said too. Mrs. Davidson looked satisfied. "There now. That wasen't so bad....was it??" she asked the twins. Charlotte looked at her with the same smile "No ma'am. it wasen't" she said with ease. "Well, then I guess I have no ther choice then to let then horses stay here with me I suppose" she said with a smile that read "But I want ot do it anyway" Charlotte and Heidi looked at each other with the same bright eyes "Thank you!" they said together with joy. "Well, then why don't you two go and get your horses and meet me at the back of the house with the horses and I will help get these horses of yours settled in" she said, going to the closet in the livingroom for a light sweater. The twins rushed out and got their horses. They meet Mrs. Davidson out back near a barn-like house. "Here is where your horses will stay. Now I exspect you two to come over once a day and help me out withyour horses. is that alright with you two??" she said in more of an authority tone. The twins shook their heads in responce. "Good, now go and groom you horses then come back to the house for dinner. I'm ordering pizza" she smiled. The twins eyes said "Yay!!" clearly. "Ok Mrs. Davidson" Charlotte said. Heidi said the same thing. Then with a final look, Mrs. Davidson made her way back to the house to order pizza.

The twins around 8:30pm finally finsihed grooming their horses throughly.

The horses needed it bad. They had weeks and weeks of filth and dust all over them. "Whew!, glads that over" Heidi said, putting away the dandy brush. "Yeah, i for one hope not to do this untill later tomorrow" Char said, patting Pepper on the back. Pepper winned. Miss Mika snorted in responce. "Come on, lets go inside before all the pizza is gone" Charlotte said.

When they got inside the pizza was on the table and everyone was sitting at the table full of pizza on their plates. Mrs. Davidson poked her head from the kichen door and smiled "All done girls??" she asked.

"Yup, we sure are. Took longer then we thought" Heidi said. "Well, before you eat I want you to to head down the hall and on the forst door on the left I want you to wash up, then come on and eat. And you better hurry, the guys are hungry" she smiled. Heidi and Charlotte nooded then when down the hall to wash up.

~~In the Kichen~~

Mrs. Davidson looked at the guys and said "So, judging by the way you guys did not remove your helmets, I'd say you diden't tell the girls who you guys are, huh?" she said. She looked at the guy, and judging by the silence, she guessed right. "Well, Charley's momma were afraid we did, they would freak out. We did not want to scare them" Modo said. Charley's mom chuckled. "Aw, I don't think that is likely to happen. You see from what you said they went through and watching the news about it seems to me that they are hard to scare" she said, drinking a can of soda. "Yeah, but Mrs. Davidson....Three marshion mice showing themselves to two teenage girls might be a little strange" Throttle said.

Charley's mother waved her hand in a gester of "no way" "Oh, nonesence!...those girls will understand. You are just underestimating them and how well they take news, but if it makes you feel better just

tell them some other time, but no matter what i can tell they will understand." she said it perfectly.

The girls soon came to the table and ate a fair portion of foot. Actually it's was the exact amount they are use to eating. After everyone was done, the girls said their thanks to Mrs. Davidson. Mrs. Davidson smiled sadisfied.

After dinner, they stayed for a good 4 hours. By the time it was midnight...everone was tired. Charley yawned "Thank you for everything mom. You have done the girls a great big favor" Charley said, getting up and stretching out the stiffness. "Yea, thanks Charley's momma" Modo said. The guys and Charley got up and said their goodbyes to Mrs. Davidson. Char and Heidi got up half asleep. Heidi yawned then Charlotte. Mrs. Davidson walked over to the girls and said "Heidi...Charlotte...you do not have to come over untill you two are settled at the your new home." she said, giving them both a warm hug. "Thank you Mrs. Davidson, but we can come over as soon as you want us to no problem.." Charlotte said half asleep. "Well, I insist on it.

Go back with the guys and have a week to yourselves to adjust to your new surroundings. I will take care of your horses untill then. I don't want no buts...just do it K" she said, giving a eyed looked but smiling at the same time. The twins just smiled and shook their heads.

Finally after 10 minutes of saying goodbyes and a few "I love yous" to Charley, the guys, Charley and the twins got on the motercycles and left for home. The twins were going to their new home and happy about it, because they finally have a home.

Coming soon......
