25. *Braylie and Lucca came back downstairs in a cheery mood, no seriously, they were laughing and playfully shoving each other*
"Lucca's funny.. sometimes," Braylie stated, wrinkling her nose. "Plus, I find myself pretty funny.. really, I'm pretty easily amused."
*Lucca raised his eyebrows, caught in mid stretch*
"Ahhhh..." Lucca sighed after he was done. "I feel like I've been sitting here for hours. Anyways, uh, well I guess some slightly inappropriate things..."
*Braylie snickered*
"NOT. LIKE. THAT." Lucca said sarcasticly, loudly, and through gritted teeth.
*Lucca pulled on Braylie's ponytail which only added to the hilarity for Braylie, justifying her 'easily amused' comment*
"Anyways, like.. I like watching that show Ridiculousness! That's some funny stuff right there." Lucca said, slapping his knee.
26. "I love singing and dancing!!" Braylie answered excitedly, bouncing up and down in her seat on the sofa. "It's literally.. my LIFE!!"
*Lucca looked slightly bored, but amused at the same time as Braylie started belting out the National Anthem*
"Really Braylie?" Lucca stated when Braylie was finished. "Of all the songs?"
"I love that song!" Braylie said, sticking her tongue out at her brother.
"Very mature." Lucca raised an eyebrow.
"We're all musically inclined and technically, we can all sing, too.... just some are better at it than the rest of us." Lucca said. "Not to mention 'bubbly,' even slightly 'giddy.'"
*Lucca elbowed Braylie in the side, which set her off in a fit of giggles. Clearly, she's extremely ticklish*
27. "Well.." Lucca stated, looking at his sister. "Do you want to tell them, or should I call Ian over and have him tell them?"
*Braylie sighed and pulled her knees up to her chest*
"I used to tudor Teddy, he used me and when he didn't get what he wanted out of me... he ditched me for someone that would." Braylie cut to the chase, sighing at the end.
*Lucca shook his head as Braylie excused herself to get a glass of water*
"No, no.. see, Ian told me what happened and we went and talk to Teddy." Lucca stated, pressing his elbows to his knees as he leaned forward. "Teddy was failing, which means he was going to get kicked off the Varsity Football Team. He got my sister to tudor him, while she was helping raise his grades, Teddy was trying to raise something else if you get what I mean. He put his 'famous moves' on my sister. He only got as far as kissing her, but when he tried to pressure her to do more than making out she told him no. He got mad and he took off. Next day, rumors were going around that Braylie was a 'stuck up prude' and that she was a 'tease.' They all got a kick out of my sister's misery and humilation while Teddy got to jock around with Josie Michaels.. So, Ian and I took care of things."
*I asked Lucca how Braylie handled it*
"Well.. at first she walked around with her head held high, but after a few days, she couldn't take it anymore. She broke down crying. We honestly didn't think she'd ever stop. Then she got sick, she very well could have been faking it, however our Mom let her. She's been kind of depressed until the day before yesterday."
*We stopped talking about Teddy the Turd when Braylie came back in the room with drinks for all of us*
28. "I'm not really sure, I guess.." Braylie started. "I guess, losing someone I loved."
"Not getting a chance." Lucca stated firmly. "Or someone taking advantage of me."
*when asked to elaborate on the subject*
Braylie sighed before continuing, "Like, if someone I cared about died. Or if they just left me.. I don't know what I'd do, but it'd kill me inside."
"Putting myself out there only to be shut down before given a chance," Lucca said. "That kind of thing. Or someone use how I feel to help them in some way."
*could you tell us something that generally you dislike on a daily basis*
"Omg, Mosquito Eaters!" Braylie squealed and shuddered. "I know they're supposed to be the 'good bugs' but seriously.. have you seen them?! They're an ABOMINATION! They're like, part Daddy-Long-Legs, party Mosquito, part Dragon Fly! Like.. WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!!!!! Not to mention, they try to fly into your ear and eat your brains!"
"Braylie.. they do not do that." Lucca said laughing. "My sister had an anxiety attack that was associated, or well.. brought on by a Mosquito eater."
"Yea, because it tried to fly into my ear and eat my brain!" Braylie stated, but was also laughing.
"I think you're confusing the bugs with Zombies." Lucca patted his sister on the top of her head.
"Yea yea.. make fun." Braylie said, smiling and rolling her eyes.
29. *deciding to switch up the topics, we asked Braylie and Lucca what they'd do if they found out other peoples fears and what they would do if they knew about it*
"I'd try to be understaning of their fears and beat the crap out of whatever that was if it came around.. like Ian does when a mosquito eater comes at me!" Braylie smiled.
"I guess... I'd try to protect them from their fears, but I would also probably playfully tease them, but I would mean it in the most sincerest way." Lucca stated.
30. "I love running," Braylie answered. "I love how it makes me feel.. and I love gymnastics, which is why I joined the Cheerleading Squad."
*turning to Lucca to hear about his excersize schedule techniques*
"I excersize daily. I lift weights, I run trails and sometimes on the treadmill if the weather isn't friendly outside. I don't do it because of Sports, though it definitely helps build some stamina on holding yourself against an opponent." Lucca ended his answer with a yawn and a long stretch.
31. *Braylie and Lucca are in agreement on NO DRINKING*
32. "I just wear whatever I find comfortable." Braylie shrugged. "Well, comfortable and cute!"
*Lucca and Braylie started laughing*
Lucca thought about it for a minute before answering, "Yea, uh.. I just wear what I like. I don't think I have a definite style or anything."
33. *We were shut down on this questions due to the parental units came in and frankly I think I might have wet myself*
34. "You should love who you are no matter what." Braylie said.
"I love my body, and if I love myself and my body I know that whomever I decide to share my life with will also love me and my body." Lucca said, before he starting blushing.
"Things are gettin' real in here, ya'll!" Braylie said playfully. "But seriously, my brother makes a great point. If you can't love yourself, then how do you expect anyone to respect of love you. Confidence in yourself is a powerful thing."
35. "A guilty pleasure? Um.. Pumpking Gellato! MMMM!" Braylie gushed. "Oh, or like, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.. I literally could eat a whole bucket of the stuff."
"That is really unhealthy, Braylie." Braylie and Lucca's Mother stated as she walked into the room to pick up some toys Oona had been asking for.
"Yea, yea, I know Mom." Braylie answered, waving her Mother away.
"No comment," Lucca said, knowing his Mother was within hearing distance, he wasn't sure he'd want to answer this question outloud.
*Sorry ladies, but we could not get Lucca to dish on his guilty pleasures no matter how much we pushed*
36. "What kind of hobbies do I have?" Lucca laughed. "Uh, I play sports. That's a hobbie, right?"
"Lucca," Braylie looked at her brother. "You do more than play sports!"
"I like to build, or re-build, cars." Lucca added.
"I love scrapbooking, and playing the piano. I find it very soothing." Braylie said, nodding her head.
37. "I love reading anything that spikes my interested. And I love WRITING and reading poetry." Braylie gushed.
*Braylie is clearly very book friendly*
"I write some poetry from time to time." Lucca admitted. "I used to write it more for my Gramama, but I really find it a calming way to express myself that's totally opposite of playing sports. Balance.. life is about balance. Calm to counteract the crazy, or at least that's what my Dad always tells me." Lucca smiled.
38. *Braylie thought about how she wanted to answer this question*
"..I love that not everyone is the same or that not everyone comes for the same backgrounds or places. The world is truly an amazing place." she said calmly.
"In the moment, we all wish that someone could DO or BE something else, but that generally is probably because of something that WE want and wanting someone to change or be something else, isn't really true to not only them, but to ourselves either." Lucca stated.
"That was deep, bro." Braylie said.
"Thanks." Lucca replied.
*Wondering if Lucca really is 15 years old*
"My Mom says we're old souls." Braylie answered for both of them.
*Lucca smiled and nodded his head once in agreement*
39. "I know it's cheesey, but I prefer writing and written letters." Braylie blushed.
Lucca laughed a little before adding agreeing with his sister. "I'd have to agree with Braylie on this one. E-mails and texts are so cold shoulder.. letters say, 'I took time on this because I care.'"
40. "I like Rockstars." Lucca said, "However, I don't drink them often."
"I love Blended Mocha's!" Braylie answered. "Clearly sugary foods is my thing as well."
*Braylie chuckled*
"I like those Loaded Baked Potato Chips." Lucca admitted. "And Black Pepper and Sea Salt chips."
41. "I like boys," Braylie stated. "I know it sounds weird, but hands and voices. Sends shivers up my spine. I can't understand it or even try to make you understand it, but that's just.."
*Braylie pretended to shiver, before she busted up laughing*
"Long, soft hair.. beautiful smile, and I'd love to be able to have an actual conversation with her." Lucca stated. "And her eyes. Her eyes have to capture me. Move me."
*fans self*
42. "Right now, just getting good grades so I can go to whatever College I want! Preferably Italy, I'd love to be closer to my family. At the end of it all, I'd love to be a Movie Composer." Braylie answered. "I mean.. putting myself out there in the 'lime light' is a huge sacrifice to my privacy and to having a 'normal life.'"
"I'm still deciding what I want," Lucca laughed. "I'm only 15 years old."
43. *The teens were both in agreement that religion is a personal preference and that no one should be judged for their beliefs, or how they chose to believe in them, or where they chose to believe in them. However they feel that religion shouldn't be pressed upon anyone who isn't open to it or wanting anything to do with it. Respect goes a long ways.*
44. "Summer.. I love the heat." Lucca said.
"Autumn," Braylie mumbled. "I love all the colors of the leaves. Makes me feel warm."
"I don't really have a season that I detest enough to really rag on. Every season has it's up's and down's." Lucca stated, Braylie nodded her head in agreement.
45. *We actually went ahead and asked the public what their views or opinions were of Braylie and Lucca Bartolini. Some of the things we collected were:
Braylie is very nice, she's always helping people.
Braylie is gorgeous, she has really clear skin and her voice is flawless.
Lucca is hot! I'd have his babies. (Might want to watch out Lucca)
Lucca is always happy, and always willing to stop what he's doing when no one else will and help you out with something.*
46. *We decided to speak with Braylie and Lucca's Mother on this subject*
"We've always raised our children to treat others how they want to be treated and to always be respectful. I'd like to think that when they're not with us at an event, that they're like that always." Izzy answered, her voice soft. "Everyone that's ever met Braylie and Lucca have only ever said wonderful things about them. They hold themselves respectfully and with poise. A firm handshake shows you mean business and that you take yourself seriously."
47. *We wanted to get Enzo in on this band wagon, so we pulled him into the room from outside*
"Ahh.. my children are exactly as my wife stated. They grew up with a large family.. they're used to black tie affairs and high end parties. They're dignified." Enzo stated, before kissing his wife on the cheek and nodding to us when we told him that, that was all we needed him for.
48. "We don't really party," Braylie and Lucca said at the same time after entering the kitchen.
"Yea, we just.." Braylie began.
Lucca finished her sentence/train of thought, "It's just not really our scene."
49. *Braylie and Lucca look at eachother and back at me*
"There's nothing in this world that could be of more value than family." Lucca said.
50. "I'd definitely need a toothbrush and toothpaste." Braylie stated firmly.
"Yes," Lucca said in agreement. "However, I'd need my pillow. I can't sleep without my pillow.. and Mr. Broccoli. I've had him since I was little and it just wouldn't be right if I didn't have him with me."
"Yea.. mine's my old brown teddy bear that my Dad brought with him that was his when was little, when they picked me up from the Orphanage." Braylied added.
