The nurse crept into the room, she tiptoed in under the soft, light from the moon. She wanted to check on the sleeping infants before the night nurse on the next shift came. The room was dark with shafts of light flowing in, with rows and rows of little cribs. The boys were tucked in light blue blankets on the left and the girls tucked in rose pink blankets on the right of the room.
She stopped by a weather beaten crib that was slightly wider than the rest, inside laid not one but two baby girls, who were perfectly identical and perfectly precious. She smiled as she watched them.
Oblivious to the events surrounding their birth, the six-week old twins slept side by side, with their tiny hand grasping the delicate finger of her sister. Their silky soft, short blue hair caressed their face each time the fan affixed on the wall blew gently across the room.
"What a pity for their parents," The nurse silently thought about how they had met with a fatal accident on the way to the hospital when the twins were due. Both parents were wizards who did scripture magic.
The impact had killed the father instantly while the mother managed to give birth to the twins just before she slipped to death. She glanced her surroundings, feeling overwhelmed by the fact that orphanages are home to all the adorable babies who were abandoned or were born into this world, alone and frightened.
The nurse glanced at the chart in front of their cribs which every infant had. The orphanages could only support the girls for a limited time. They had to go.
One of the girls was to be adopted by Fairy Tail, an affable guild in Magnolia and the other to a family in Crocus, both in the Kingdom of Fiore. They had contacted the orphanage which told them about the existing twin. They will be gone by tomorrow afternoon. The nurse prayed for the welfare of the poor children and thanked fate to let the two little ones be near each other…

"Let the Grand Magic Games begin-kabo!" The announcer dressed as a pumpkin said. Spectators from all over Fiore came to support and watch the guilds as they battled it out to be Fiore's best magic guild.
"Levy! Come on let's go explore!" Lucy called. The whole of Fairy Tail arrived in Crocus where the Grand Magic Games will be held, hours before the first segment starts, to do some sightseeing.
Both of them walked in the bustling town of Crocus, into the market halls. It was full of life, people shouting their trades and goods. There was food and lots of souvenirs being sold. "Hey, check it out here, the food is awesome! Let's buy sausages to share!" Levy shouted to Lucy. She nodded her head enthusiastically in agreement.
Munching sausages, they continued walking down the street. Lucy pointed in the distance, a magic souvenir shop. "Let's go in!" The duo stepped into the enormous store and glanced around. It had souvenirs with magic inside, like a globe that felt hot or cold when you adjust the knob. Both of them stared in awe at the curious things that seem to moving on its own. Lucy wandered off leaving Levy meddling with the globe.
Lucy went to the other corner of the store which sold silver celestial spirit keys, her magic. "I should buys some keys to prepare for the Grand Magic Games." She thought to herself. The blonde found the key of Pyxis a cute penguin with a compass on its head. "This can help in navigating if there were any." She smiled to herself. With that, she went to find Levy to show her what she had found.
"Levy!" She called as she tapped on the person in front of her. Two heads turned to look at Lucy. The one she tapped on was exactly identical to Levy, only wearing different clothes. The real Levy stood stunned in front of the shelf. She looked at her lookalike and said "Who are you?"
The person had the same voice as Levy, the same wavy hair but wore an apron instead. "I am a worker here." She answered. Levy seemed to be in deep thought, after several seconds, she took a deep breath and finally blurted out "When is you birthday?"
She replied "March 23." Lucy's eyes widened in shock, they have the same birthday?
Levy swallowed hard. She opened her mouth and said "This might be impossible but are you my twin?"
