• The day started off like any other day in the Florida Bay Area. There was the typical quarter inch of water in the streets. There were drizzles in the early morning, and sometimes waves from the small private, waveless beaches overflowed a bit. A quarter inch of water was nothing in here. Heck, we only got worried at around a foot.
    Maybe I should introduce myself. My name is Fawn Lansing. Don't even think about making fun of my name. My mom has given us all weird names. My oldest sister is named Charlie. She's nineteen, but she already graduated college. She's super smart and likes to invent all kinds of things. She's built water purifiers in Africa and stuff like that. My whole family is all into stopping the war in Iraq, stop the genocide in Darfur, feed the hungry, protect the wildlife, take care of the earth, etcetra.
    My younger sister, Hope, is thirteen. She's obsessed with bringing criminals into jail. She already has locked up the guy who beat up her best friend's mom. She was the mother's lawyer, and the guy had a lawyer who'd gone to law school and cost several billion to hire- Daniel Higgins. Hope destroyed the entire arguement and alibi in about five minutes. The guy had tried to escape the courtroom then, but her twin, Dream, interupted that idea.
    Dream is a black belt in karate. She's an expert in tae kwan do, and she can take down pretty much anyone. She knows every form of martiel arts, and is pretty darn good at most of them. She also does yoga and meditates. She wakes up at 5 a.m. to watch the sunrise.
    My youngest sister, Cordelia, who is six, is really sweet. She's also kinda naive and innocent. She seems to live in her own little world, in which, she once told me, there are baby rainbow colored unicorns with cotton candy wings and soft white kitty cats.
    So, where was I? Oh yeah. So there was less than an inch of water in the street. Even an hour and a half later, when it was an inch, nobody was really worried.
    We really should have been, because we would get real worried later.
