Disclaimer: Still. Don't. Own. Nothin'.
Authur's Notes: Me now have two reviews. Me happy.
The Two sat on the bed of their hotel room, packing their belongings into their respective travel bags. Anything that one had, the other had as well, everything was identical. Yet somehow, the sisters knew which belonged to whom. They were silent, even through their minds, moving far more methodically than any child should.
The twin called Aida picked up an object and paused. It was snow globe depicting a magical scene, with snow fairies and white unicorns. Then, instead of placing it in her bag, she stood, pulled up a part of the blanket, bent her knees and placed it under the bed, up against the wall. When she stood and replaced to covers, none could see the bauble.
"What are you doing?" Thought the other girl, Abella, to her sibling, not even looking up or stopping her work.
"I like it. I don't want it to be damaged," answered Aida, sitting back on the bed while looking at the side of her sister's face.
"It is an object, it is irrelevant." said Abella, still not pausing.
"I am well aware of it's status in the universe as an object, as well as it's inconsequentiality in relation to our current situation." said Aida, watching her sister passively, yet refusing to look away just as assuredly as Abella refused to look up.
"Then why do you insist on.protecting it?" Abella insisted.
"Because I like it. And I don't want it to be damaged."
"Stop playing. What is the real reason?"
"I like to play."
Abella waited patiently for her to continue, as she knew she would. They had had the conversation before.
"I want to remember." Aida finally confessed.
"We have spoken of this previously. It is very unlikely that we would forget. We never forget."
"Yes we do. We forget many things."
"Nothing of importance."
"But as you said, the object is irrelevant."
By now, Abella was done packing. She looked up at Aida.
"We have this disagreement every time."
"And I always win, why do you insist on continuing? Where is the logic in that?"
There was no answer. There was never an answer.
Aida returned and finished her packing quickly.
