It started when Ms. Tutweiller paired us together for a marriage project.
"So is everyone paired up and have a job?" Ms. Tutweiller asked the class. The class gave a collective 'yeah'.
"Ms. Tutweiller?" London Tipton called out raising her hand.
"Yes London." the red hair teacher said.
"I thought we were studying presidents. I even mermemorized stuff." London said.
"Ok London, pop quiz. You get this question right you get an A. Who said, 'I can not tell a lie'?"
"Oh that's easy! George Jefferson!" London answered happily.
"That's correct." Ms. Tutweiller said with a halfhearted smile.
"Yay me!" London cheered. Turning in her chair to face the blonde boy behind her, she asked, "I'm glad you picked me Cody's brother, because Cody's a snore."
"I'm Zack, London. And we're friends right? This'll be fun. There won't be any pressure." Zack said.
"Oh no, these are mine. I don't use press-ons." London said showing her pretend husband her fingers.
"Right." Zack said as the bell rang. He ran out of class to ensure that he and Woody would be first in line for lunch.
"So Woodster, how's married life treating you?" Zack asked his corpulent pal as the piled their plate high with hoagies and potato chips.
"Well, Addison is my special lady. And as long as I keep giving her candy jewelry, I can eat as many hot dogs as I want." Woody answered taking a large bite out of one of his sandwiches.
"London is the perfect wife. She's rich and pretty and all I have to do keep telling her she's smart and I make all the money I could ever wish for!" Zack said, his mouth full.
"You two are deplorable. How can you treat your wives that way? You should love them, and give them the utmost respect." Cody said setting his neatly organized lunch tray down on the table.
"Shut up Cody. It's not our fault that if you don't get an A this assignment, you and the hayseed are going to call it quits." Zack said to his twin brother.
"Bailey and I are happily married, I mean for the project of course. Nothing that takes place during the course of said project will change how we feel about each other. We have a strong emotional bond." Cody said in a matter of fact tone.
"What?" Woody said, his confused eyes on Cody.
"He means Cody + Bailey = forever." Zack explained.
"Ohh. Ok." Woody said nodding his head with a big smile.
"Well, I've gotta get ready for work. Catch you dudes later." Zack said rising from the table. Dumping his tray and walking back to his room, he overhears Bailey and London talking.
"Cody is the perfect husband!" Bailey gushed.
"Eww. I've clearly got the cuter twin." London said.
"They're twins. They're both cute." Bailey said.
"Keep believing that farm girl." London retorted.
"London they look exactly the same."
"No. I don't think so. Cody's brother has a certain...je na se qua."
"Really? You didn't know that George Washington said I can not tell a lie but you know how to properly use je na se qua?" Bailey asked amazed. "And his name is Zack, by the way."
"Zack. Right. I'll have to remember that." London said nodding her head quickly.
