A/N So basically, with a story title like this, we've got two options.
1. We can do the normal book from Thom's point of view, or
2. We can make Thom and Alanna FULLY switch places.
But which one to choose?
Oh, umm...er....number...number...no.....umm...er...
Anonymous Voice: Number two holds up three fingers pick number two mi'ladies!
OK, errrrr...number two!!!
Like the Shrek joke? For anyone who doesn't follow, just read the story anyway.
We've recently added the first two paragraphs to try and improve on our writing style from 2 years ago. The later chapters are far better, by the way, but we haven't gotten around to re-writing the whole thing yet. We thought you'd prefer new material. Enjoy!
The sun was shining, the bees were singing, the birds were humming, and a pair of twins were feeling rejected, just for something different.
The twins were identical, both with red hair, purple eyes and short stature. However, perhaps there was a mix up in the womb of their dead mother. The girl had ended up with a definite boyish personality, and the boy was somewhat gender challenged himself. But their father, being an arsehole, hadn't taken the time to get to know them, and was unaware of this fact.
"That is my decision. We need not discuss it," said the man at the desk. He was already looking at a book. His two children left the room, closing the door behind them.
"He doesn't want us around," the boy muttered. "He doesn't care what we want."
"We know that," was the girl's answer. "He doesn't care about anything, except his books and scrolls."
The boy hit the wall. "I don't want to be a knight! I want to be a beautiful Lady! I want to wear make-up, and earrings, and blue dresses!"
"I HATE that stuff! I want to learn to fight, tilt, fence, be a knight!!!"
"Well, I guess there's no way that we can both get what we want. Tomorrow morning, I will just have to go to the palace and become a knight, and you'll go become a lady at the convent." Said the boy, sniffing slightly, "There's no way out of it"
"Thom, that's it!" the girl said to the boy.
"Give up my dream of ear bobs and dresses so I can go to the palace and get dirty and probably break my leg and disgrace the family name? Is that what you mean Alanna, sister dear?" Thom questioned his sister.
"Yes." Alanna said firmly.
"What? You want me to give up my dream of ear bobs and dresses so I can go to the palace and-"
"What? No, of course not"
"Good, 'cos I was gonna say....."
Alanna cut her brother off "We can switch places! I'll go to the palace and become a knight just like I've always wanted, and you can go to the convent and become a Lady. Anyways, I'll change my name to Alan and you can be-"
"Thomasina!" said Thom brightly
"Yeah, whatever"
"But Coram and Maude know who we are really. They know I'm not Thomasina." Said Thom dejectedly.
"Well, we'll try and talk to Maude. Maybe she can help. Come on!"
A/N Yes, it's very short. But if people like it, maybe more will magically appear one day. Remember, suggestions are always welcome.
