Summary: Prequel to What Is Learned. It does deal with Ouran, but Ouran isn't mentioned much in the beginning. Kassi and Kessi are identical twins; their mom dies after giving them a great gift, individuality. The girls apply for Ouran, make it, and find out what the twins do to girls who send them love notes.

NOTE: This is a prequel to another story I'm writing and will be posting once this is done. This will be a short story describing a set of OC twins' lives before Ouran high school. It may get a little confusing, but hang with me. If you flame, I respect your opinion. R&R! DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN! Wish I did.

Ch. 1: Difference

No one at school could tell the difference between them. Kassi and Kessi Miyazaki, identical twins.
Their mom seemed to be the only one who could tell the difference, and that was enough for them.
When they were 6, they knew most likely no one would be able to tell them apart. They accepted it because of what they were told.

And to them, they weren't identical.

"C'mon Kassi!" Kessi called, hurrying down the sidewalk.
They were heading to their mothers daycare since school had just gotten out. "I'm coming!" Kassi hurried to keep up with her younger twin.
Kessi slowed when passing the gates of Ouran Academy Elementary, Kassi caught up with her sister and they both looked at the kids playing in the snow, seeing as it was January.

"They're so carefree." Kassi mumbled.
"Yeah." Kessi frowned slightly then gasped and pointed. "Look! Twins!" Kessi was excited, because this was the first time that they'd ever seen another set of twins.
Kassi looked to where Kessi was pointing. "Boys too."

Kessi nodded and put her hand back down. "We should go, or else we'll be late. And you know how mama gets when we're late."
Kassi shook her head slightly then took her sisters hand. They then walked off to the daycare center.

"Hey mom, guess what!" Kassi ran up to her mom, Kessi trailing behind.

Their mother laughed. "What?" She hugged the girls.
"We saw another set of twins! And they were boys!" Kassi said excitedly.
"Really?" Their mother tilted her head. "Did you talk to them?"

"No. We couldn't. They were beyond the gates of Ouran." Kessi explained. "I would have loved to meet them." Their mother shrugged. "Maybe you will one day. You never know."

"Maybe." Both girls said.

"So why don't you two go play with the other kids?" She suggested, changing the subject. "OK!" Kassi and Kessi scurried off.

"Think they're anything like us?" Kassi asked.
"No. Didn't you see them? They were all alone" Kessi pointed out. "Hmm. Maybe one day, we could change that."
"Maybe." Kessi had a faraway look in her eyes as she sat down by a window and watched the snow drift by. Kassi joined her.
And who knows who they'll be when we do meet them. IF we ever meet them. Kassi thought.

After a few minutes, Kessi pulled her hair into a pony-tail and smiled. "Let's go play with the other kids." "OK." Kassi smiled. The grabbed each other's hands and went to find the other kids.

"Mommy," Kassi started talking at dinner (supper), "why can't people tell twins apart? We're each our own person, right?"

"Yes, you are your own person. But not everyone can plainly see what's beneath the surface. They are unable to see everything. Yet, there are people who can see the difference, but those people are quite rare. You can't find them easily." Their mom smiled slightly. "Don't let it get you down though."

"Hm. Can twins tell other twins apart?" Kessi asked.

"Not always. They can sometimes."

"Hm." The girls thought about that.

Will they be able to tell us apart?
