DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fushigiboshi no futago hime D:
Twins. There's a saying for that: two peas in a pod. Peas look the same don't they? But if they had personalities would they be the same?
A young girl thinks not, but goes against her wishes and does what her sister wants...
Yeah sure, she hears herself saying in her head, we can have the same hairstyles, interests and clothing
But.
There's one thing that I can't up with.
*flashback*
I looked down at my sister who covered her face with her hands. Yeah, no doubt about it, the only thing that my sister was ever doing: crying. Sighing I decided to do something to cheer her up. Patting her long, silky, blue hair I whispered a few soothing words to her. The bitter sobbing stopped. I don't know how relieved I was, the times she cried was too many to count. She always depended on me. Ever since I saved her from getting hit by a baseball (yeah I gotta admit, I'm pretty athletic), she clung to me like anything.
This is how my life was like before that.
-Prologue-
I open my eyes everyday to see the light that shines through the curtains. I roll over my bed to see Rein shaking me to wake up. It's strange really, she puts so much effort in us being the same but doesn't understand that they will always make out who's who. Though it's funny how I despise her actions but never got the guts to tell her 'no', she's so innocent, I don't want to hurt her feelings.
It' the mirror thing again and await her as I slowly sit down, let her brush my hair and tie a loose hair tie at the end. Meanwhile I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Not at myself though but at her. She has the prettiest aqua eyes and straight blue hair, while I have ruby red eyes and cherry tomato-coated hair.
'Done' she says
This is how my morning goes every morning. Nothing different. But it was the next thing that she said that teared the whole story apart.
'Fine, I love how we are so alike' - of course you do, guess who made me do this
'We know everything about each other' - sounds creepy no matter how you word it *shiver*
'I haven't though my dream is… but whatever's yours I will do the same'
My dream huh? Wait… what is she talking about? Following my dream? We are twins so we have to have the same dream?
'WAIT NO NO NO NO NO NO. ABSOLUTELY NO!'
I cover my mouth, regretting the words I've blurted.
I glance at Rein. I know what her reaction is: crying. She's kneeling on her knees, drying her tears and sniffing every second. This time I know that patting her head and saying a few words will stop her.
I've said the 'no'.
I shall have to pay for the consequences. We not going to have the same hairstyle, the same interests and the same clothes ever again..
POEM- dedicated to this story
To think that twins are unique
Our bonds would never break
Perhaps it was fate that we were together
Sharing every bit of our life
Cherishing those happy moments
Regretting those sorrow times
Alas are twins defined as those who are the same
In anything that you could name
But you could name one thing that wouldn't be the same
With these fushigiboshi twins
Why a simple 'no' broke their ties and the storm whisked past
Their life was ruined by mere words.
It was the words of a dream
Thew! Well I just hope this story won't be ruined by mere words of a dream ;)
Just review your thoughts about this, suggestions are fine. Wished you all enjoyed this :)
