Two of a Kind

Chapter One: The Student Union

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes: Meer and Lacus are identical twins in this story (okay go ahead and hate me all you like their rivalry relationship fans.).

Both take the surname Clyne.

The two twins and also Cagalli know that they are princesses at that time but promised to keep their identity a top secret.

The guys are studying in Auzureblue School for boys and the girls are studying in Crystallin Academy.

"You're kidding!" Meer Clyne said to her sister, Lacus Clyne. "This place? We're having our Spring Fling dance in HERE?"

"Not just the Spring Fling," Stellar Louisser chimed in. "They think we're going to be spending our free time here! Welcome to the new Student Union for Crystallin Academy and Auzureblue."

"But it's just a storage building! It's dark, it's grungy, it's smelly, and…and…I think I saw a mouse!" Meer complained, folding her arms over her chest.

"A mouse? Yuk! Where!" Fllay Allster screeched.

"It went there." Meer replied, pointing to a pile of old mattresses in a corner.

Lacus gazed around the dusty storage building with her cerulean blue eyes. She didn't see the mouse. But she had to admit her twin was right – it was dark and grungy. And smelly.

Well, at least it's big, Lacus reasoned to herself.

And the reason it was dark was because so many stuff had been piled in front of the windows. The place was filled to the brim with old chairs, mattresses, boxes, out-of-date textbooks, broken brooms, and rusty old gardening equipment.

Once it's cleaned out, Lacus realized, it's going to be a nice big place. With a little paint, some new furniture, lights and a sound system, it could be a great Student Union.

The storage building was on the property of Crystallin Academy – the boarding school that Lacus and Meer attended. Right next door was the Auzureblue School for boys. The new Student Union was going to be used by only the First and Second Forms in both schools. That's what the seventh and eighth graders were called.

In other words, it was a dream come true as far as Lacus was concerned. The guys and girls were going to be able to hang out together all the time – not just on the few days when they had the same classes.

Lacus was the head of the girls' committee in charge of fixing up the old building.

"Trust me." she said in her usual cheery voice. "When we get done with it, this place is going to look fabulous!"

"Well, you're the boss. Where do we start?" Stellar replied.

"Hmm…just grab some stuff and start hauling it out." Lacus said. "Miss Ramius will be here pretty soon to show us which stuff is trash and which is treasure." Lacus stated, managing to stifle a giggle at the word treasure.

"You mean we're supposed to touch that mess?" Fllay asked in a sarcastic voice." I just had my nails done." She wrinkled up her nose and made a face.

Trust Fllay to start complaining right away. Oh well, she IS the daughter of George Allster and I can't afford to mess with father's plan. Lacus secretly thought to herself. Fllay was proud, spoilt, pampered, indulged and not to mention snooty. The red haired girl came off from one of Orb's wealthiest family which was second to only Lacus and her best friend Cagalli's families. Naturally she would think that she was Queen of the First form.

"If you want to be on the committee, you've got to work for it." Lacus said in a rather annoyed tone.

"Fine, BOSS." Fllay sneered, inching towards a pile of boxes." But what about the mouse?"

"A mouse? Cool! Where?" a boy's voice called out.

Lacus spun around and came face to face with a group of guys from Auzureblue standing in the open doorway. They were going to help clean up the Student Union, too.

"Where's the mouse?" Athrun Zala repeated.

Lacus glanced at her sister and saw Meer blush. Meer used to have a dead major crush on Athrun. "It went under there." Meer pointed to the mattresses again.

"Forget the mouse. Let's start moving this pile of junk outta here" Kira Yamato said

Athrun and Yzak Joule moved towards the pile of stuff. "I'll be with you guys in a moment." Kira continued. "Just as soon as I have a talk with Lacus."

Kira wants to talk to me? Lacus thought. Maybe he wants to ask me to the Spring Fling!

Her heart skipped a beat.
