Time for an episode of good ideas and bad ideas.

Good idea: not pretending to be your twin brother for the day so you can help him pass a test for a class.

Bad idea: pretending to be your twin brother for the day so you can help him pass a test for a class.

There was a clear difference between the ideas, yet… they were standing in front of the large mirror in their bathroom, practicing how to be one other.

"Open your goddamn eyes."

"My eyes are open."

Greed snorts in contempt and peels open Ling's eyes with his fingers. "Now they are."

Ling swats his twin's hand away. "You know, you should be more grateful I agreed."

"It doesn't mean anything if we get caught, piss ant."

If they could manage to imitate each other perfectly, then it would be believable. People would have a hard time telling the difference between them because they were identical twin. The problem was… their personalities and manners were as different as night and day. They were completely different people that happened to look the same.

"How the hell do you see like this?" Greed mumbles, scrunching his eyes together.

"If you're going to complain about my appearance, I don't see why I should continue this. Especially, when you were the one that came to me begging for help."

"First of all, relax. I didn't mean it like that and second, I didn't beg. I don't beg."

"Mhmm." Ling hums. His brother came to him pleading, in his opinion, to help him take a test and pass. At first, he thought it was a simple one on one tutor. Oh, but how wrong was he. He was to literally waltz into the classroom and take his brother's test. No doubt, he would pass that test since he took the class before and got an A.

"Shut up. It isn't my fault the bastard wants to fail my ass."

"If only you, you know, work hard."

"I work smart, not hard. Working hard is for chumps."

"I guess you weren't smart enough."

Greed shoves his twin playfully. "Didn't I tell you to shut up?"

Ling shakes his head with a small grin on his face. He predicts this whole plan was going to end horribly. So horribly, but he was still going to go through with it. Why? It was hard saying no to his twin sometimes; which is why he gets into more trouble than he should. Before they moved, Lan Fan used to constantly berate him that Greed was a bad influence and whatnot.

He can't deny that Greed has his faults, certainly does live up to his name… or is it nickname? After all, who names their child after a sin? It doesn't particularly bother him this mystery, but it certainly is dishes for thought. Hmm, that doesn't sound right...meh, that's besides the point.

In the end, Greed was human and as most humans are, he had redeeming qualities also.

Maybe it's idiotic, naive, or foolish of him to say something like this, but this is how strongly he felt about his relationship with Greed. No matter what they said, Greed was his twin brother, his long lost twin brother. He may not have known his brother for his entire life, but in these few years, it sure felt like he did. They had a lot more in common than they realize and not just appearance wise.

They decide to practice their facial expression later and went on to wearing each other clothes.

Ling stares at the outfit laid out for him by his brother on the bed. He stares at is as if there was something missingor more as in something wrong. "What is wrong with this vest?" He picks up the fur lined vest and grimaces at it.

"What do you mean what's wrong with it?" Greed hisses and snatches the vest from his hands. "It's metal as fuck."

"Please, don't make me wear all these ridiculous things."

"It's not ridiculous!" Greed scoffs with his arm against his chest.

"Greed, no."

"Greed, yes! It's called a sense of fashion, unlike someone here."

Ling frowns. "Hey, what's wrong with my clothes?"

"Everything. You're obsessed with yellow and sometimes you make Ed look like the one with better taste."

Everyone knew Edward Elric's impeccable sense of fashion.

"That last part was unnecessary! Also, yellow is a royal color!" Ling huffs irritably. He begins to pull out his signature golden hoodie and a white pair of pants. "For the record, you would look good in my clothes."

Greed flashes him a look of disgust. "No, I wouldn't."

"We're twins."

"I'm the better looking twin."

Ling wants to strangle his brother. "You're an idiot. We're identical twins, we look exactly the same."

"Shame, we aren't the same. Makes this a lot easier." Greed sighs, but it was soon replaced by a smirk and hangs his arm around Ling's neck. "But I doubt the world can handle two of me."

Ling chuckles and pats light heartedly at Greed's arm. "Agree, I can barely handle you." Silently, he mutters a prayer to himself: God help us, we're going to get into so much trouble.
