Identity in Crisis: Reflection
By: M14Mouse
Summary: AU to Blue Ranger, Twin Danger. Theo just doesn't see himself when he looks in the mirror, he sees what he lost.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
Sibling Love theme: 39. Spare Change
The first thing Theo heard was the giggles. He really didn't want to turn around. Giggling meant trouble. It meant someone was up to something. And because he was such a good friend, it usually involved him.
"Mr. Theo?" A little girl's voice said behind him.
He really shouldn't turn around…but he did. He blinked for a moment then his eye brow shot up. Twins. Identical twins. Clothes, shoes…right down to the ribbons in their hair. Poor things. He remembered a time when they were six…
"But I wanta wear green!" His brother said with a pout.
"Mommy said we have to wear the same thing."
"Don't want to, Echo!"
"I don't want to either…but Mrs. Clarks is coming…"
They just looked at each other.
"Candy!"
His mind instantly shut down the rest of that thought. He didn't want to think about it. It was like a knife was twisting in his heart.
"Yes?"
"Miss Lily and Miss Casey want you to guess who is who!"
Yup…done that before too. By the spirits, if he had to give away his spare change for every time someone asked him and Lu that…he would be broke constantly.
"Bro…why do they do this all of the time?"
"Because they are bored…or they found it amusing."
"Figures."
"…"
"…"
"Dude…sound like me!"
"You are nuts."
"But fun!"
"Wonderful…You are twin one. You are twin two. Done," He said before he turned back around to work on wrapping the silverware into the napkins.
Another round of giggles happened behind him.
"No, silly. We have names."
"Well, I don't know your names."
"Linda and Lauren!"
Dear spirits…what are their parents trying to do? Traumatized them?
He turned back around and stared at them carefully. He tilted his head slightly as he took in their features. He snorted as he patted one girl on the head.
"You are Linda."
He patted the other girl on the head.
"You are Lauren."
The two girls stared at him in shock.
"Wow…you are good," Linda said in awe.
"I try to be," He said as he turned back around. The sooner this conversation ended and the twins went away, the sooner he can stop the old memories from over taking him.
"Ms. Lily! Mr. Casey! He was right! He got it right!"
One of the twins screamed as she ran off. He sighed softly. Good. That was over with. Suddenly, he felt a pair of arms around him. He turned around to see Lauren staring at him. She smiled at him then she let go. She turned and ran after her twin.
He felt a thousand different emotions and thoughts course through his head. He struggled to control them as he ran his hand through his hair.
One thought made his head hurt and his heart ache.
By the spirits, he missed his brother.

A large, muscular black man in a black suit stood in a middle of a room full with mirrors. Mirrors lined the walls and ceiling. Smaller mirrors hung from the ceiling.
"Beautiful work, isn't it?" the man said.
Scorch appeared behind the man and stared at the mirrors.
"Master Dai Shi is unsure of this plan, Dynamir."
"Dai Shi will have his souls and their fears," Dynamir said as he waved his hand.
"And the human owner of this establishment?"
"She finds this room good for business. One thing I have to say, humans are predictable when it comes to money."
"And the rangers…?"
"Let them come…they can enjoy the show."
A wave of energy rushed through the room to reveal people screaming and pounding on the mirrors.
"Let them come…"
