They were standing at the grave, rain pouring down on them. George was trembling. He still could not believe that his twin brother was dead. This had to be a dream. A nightmare. And he wanted to wake up. Most of his family already left but he could not leave him alone. Not yet at least. Bill was the only one who stayed to take care of George. He wrapped his arm around the remaining twin and ruffled through the short hair. It hurt him to see his brother like this.
"Let's leave, you'll catch a cold..."
But George only shook his head and stared at the grave in front of him. Bill sighed and left. He understood that he needed more time than anyone else. When everyone left he looked around to see if he was really alone. He wiped away the tears and smirked.
"Fred, you can get out...! They left...!"
It took some time until the coffin opened and Fred climbed up, wearing the same mischievous smirk like his twin. He stretched and chuckled. This was their best prank.
"Mum will kill us...everyone will kill us. BUT, dear Gred, this was our best prank. Nobody will top us."
Both smirked before George hugged his twin. He was glad that it was just a joke and that Fred was still there...
