Woohoo, back from the dead and finally publishing something, yay! But... what is this anyway?

Over a year ago, I wrote a oneshot with the same title, about the same characters, and right now, it is in fact my most-viewed out of all of my oneshots. So one day I (quite randomly) got an idea to expand it into a multi-chapter fic, and after a bit of planning I was away writing.

As it turned out, I ended up writing a lot of the chapters over the time between when I started and now, mainly because a). I didn't want a load hanging over me when I was something like 6 chapters in, and b). at the moment I am taking part in a writing challenge on the Total Drama Writer's Forum, which is to write a minimum of 50,000 words over three months. Of course, that's ended up putting me WAY ahead, which is good, but now I have a massive buffer, so I decided that I should really start publishing this story.

A little note before you start reading: this is actually quite different to the oneshot (feel free to read it), and won't quite have all of the same scenarios as this one does. Not to mention they're longer as well, pretty much a scenario per chapter.

Anyway, I should stop rambling now, and let you start reading. I'll explain anything I've missed above along the way, and either PM me or include in your review if there's anything you didn't quite understand. :)

Other than that, enjoy the story! It's gonna be a long ride. (no seriously, long fic incoming, hahaha)

PART ONE

For someone to fully accept something in their life, it could happen like the push of a button. But sometimes, it can take a lot longer than that.

Chapter 1 - Dress

It was a mostly cloudy day in Toronto, or at least that was what Amy could see from her bedroom window. She sat cross-legged on her bed watching the odd few cars go past, waiting for her nails to dry, which she had just painted a light blue. She was due to go down the road to a café to meet up with friends for lunch, and the only thing she was missing was a decent outfit.

"Ugh, I swear my blue dress was in my wardrobe!" Amy muttered, looking over at her open wardrobe, which she had been rifling through just fifteen minutes ago. "I know I had it for Mom's birthday dinner on Thursday… maybe it's out to wash…" she sighed in frustration and turned to blow on her nails again.

After a few more minutes, Amy decided that her nails were dry enough and went over to her wardrobe again, looking at it for only a few seconds before an idea suddenly struck her. "Hey, what's Samey got?" she wondered, slowly walking over to the doorway and going out into the hallway. "Should be something…"

Amy knew it wasn't the first time she had borrowed clothes off her sister, and a lot of those times were without asking. And with the dominance she had over Sammy, Amy couldn't care less.

Amy slowly opened the door to Sammy's room and peered inside, noticing that it was empty. She grinned and pushed the door open further, then strutting in and around to the wardrobe. Stealing a quick glance out the window was enough time to see Sammy standing by the clothes line, pegging out the last of the washing. "Okay, good," Amy said quietly, turning to the wardrobe and pulling it open. "What you got, Samey?" she chuckled as she started to look through her sister's clothes, stopping at one or two things before eventually coming to a flared lime green dress, and pulled it out. "Hmm…" Amy turned to the mirror on the door and held the dress to her body. "Like it," she smiled and went back around to her own room.

After about five to ten minutes, Amy was fully dressed in her outfit for lunch, along with having done her make-up, and was standing in front of her full length mirror, checking that she had everything that she wanted to wear. "For once Samey's actually got something nice…" she muttered, cocking her head.

Unbeknownst to Amy, Sammy was already jogging up the stairs with a stack of clothes, which were all hers. She turned to go into her room, but stopped when she looked into Amy's room and saw what she was wearing, and silently gasped. "Hey, that's new…" she said, trailing off.

Leaping in fright, Amy whirled around to face her sister, who was now looking rather surprised and shocked. "Samey, you freaking scared me!" she exclaimed, glaring.

"Sorry…" Sammy stepped back, "but I kinda bought that a couple of days ago…"

Amy shrugged. "So? What does it matter anyway? We're the same size."

"I know, but you could have asked me… or-" Sammy was cut off before she could continue.

"Okay, look, I've gotta leave for the café in like, five minutes, and I don't have anything. My blue dress is probably still in the laundry, and you know that my pink and white dress still has that ugly stain on it. What do you expect me to do, run to the mall and get something from there?"

Not sure what else to say, Sammy looked over her shoulder and slowly went across to her room. Amy had simultaneously gone to check the time on her phone, and realized that she had even less time than she thought. Quickly grabbing her wallet from her nightstand, she ran out of the room and down the stairs. "Going now, bye Mom!" she hastily called out as she raced out the door.

Meanwhile, once Sammy had finished putting all her clothes away, she decided to go down and get Amy's as well, since she knew that her mother would possibly end up bringing them upstairs for Amy. As she was about to start walking down the stairs, a thought struck her, and she jogged back downstairs, heading straight for the living room. Sammy looked over to the sofa where all the folded washing was, and saw the blue dress Amy had been looking for slung across the back of the sofa.

"Seriously, Amy?" she muttered, looking towards the doorway. "Oh well… guess I better put that away too… maybe she'll think she completely missed when she goes in her wardrobe next," Sammy giggled as she took Amy's much larger stack of clothes under one arm, and draped the dress over her other arm.

Out on the street, Amy was walking at quite a fast pace, hoping to get to the café in time. All the while, she was thinking about what she would do this time after borrowing another item of Sammy's.

Normally, whatever Amy would end up borrowing off her sister, it would stay in her own room for a little while before being returned to where it came from. And one time (which was in fact only a few months ago), their mother ended up putting some jeans in Amy's room. Sammy originally had bought them, but those jeans she never saw again, unless Amy was wearing them or they were out to wash. And if Amy had to be completely honest, she was almost shocked to find them in her room. Not like she would ever admit that.

But this time, after thinking about it for a while, Amy stopped, for a minute not caring about the time. "Okay, should I… or…" she muttered, looking down at the dress, "do they want to know that it's Samey's or not?"

Sammy, who of course was completely oblivious to the situation, was getting on to her weekend homework, which was a set of questions for a film study in English, studying for a geography quiz and a maths test.

Exactly one and a half hours later, Sammy was resting on her bed whilst listening to some music (with earphones), when she faintly heard someone calling her name. She pulled one earbud out, only to realize that Amy was calling her, and obviously by Samey. But she sounded strangely excited.

"Get your butt out here and tell me if they have more of these dresses!" Amy shouted from downstairs.

Feeling confused, Sammy paused her music and pulled her other earbud out, getting up and walking out of her room, spotting her sister standing at the foot of the stairs. "Well they had two other colours as well… turquoise and emerald green?"

Amy gasped loudly. "Oh em gee, emerald green?" she exclaimed, then suddenly racing up the stairs, sprinting past Sammy and going into her own bedroom. "We are so going to the mall tomorrow! I need a new dress for picture day too!"

The next day, Amy and Sammy did just that, going down to the mall for another dress, but not before stopping for a milkshake along the way.

"Okay, where is it, where is it?" Amy asked repeatedly as they entered the store.

Sammy laughed and jogged ahead. "Right at the back!" she called, prompting Amy to follow at the same pace. It wasn't long until they did reach the back of the store, and Sammy was quick to find where she had gotten her own dress from, with a rack of emerald greens right next to them.

"Oh em gee, that emerald green is perfect…" Amy breathed, her eyes scanning the hangers for her size. "Why are the sizes all mixed up?" she muttered, grabbing a size two from near the back. "Geez, some people…" Amy darted across to the changing rooms, and within minutes already had the dress on. "It's so pretty," she giggled, looking at herself in the mirror as she twirled. "Sold."

Another few minutes later, Amy was back into her regular clothes and had paid for the dress. "Samey!" she called. "We're leaving now!"

That's it for now, so like I said, if there's anything that I didn't quite explain enough in the author's note at the top, feel free to mention it in your review, or send me a PM. My inbox is always open.

So expect the next chapter to be up this time next week :)
