Chapter 1 - Neuton's Story
October 11, 1997 - Tulsa, Oklahoma
It wasn't fair. Tweedle-Tay was my best friend. He knew everything about me, he even knew about the time that I kissed a girl in "101 Dalmatians" and she ran home crying to her mother. Now Michaela probably knew about it too, seeing as Tay was spending all his time with her. It was so stupid. Dad had told me all about Michaela, how she was the devil and how she would kill our family....... Tweedle-Tay still wanted to be her friend. Even now that Michaela wasn't speaking to him he was still sucking up to her. I asked him why he would want to be friends with the devil and all he said was, "How can she be the devil when she's exactly like me? I am not the devil. Neither is Michaela." Tweedle-Tay was so narcissistic. See?? One month ago I wouldn't have uttered a bad word about Tweedle-Tay but since Michaela had come we hadn't been nearly as close. Grubbery was just as bad. I tried to make up for the loss of Tweedle-Tay by hanging out with Grubbery but he was just as intrigued by Michaela as Tay was.
But today it would all end. Michaela would leave and the Mansons would live happily ever after. At least, that's what I thought would happen. However, this morning, when she came down to breakfast I could tell that Michaela had no intention of leaving. I could see it in her eyes and in that bulge in her pants. Something told me that it was a gun. And when she asked Tweedle-Tay to go down into the basement with her I knew that she was going to use that gun to kill him and take his place in the Manson family.
I had to stop her. I let the twins go down into the basement and left them there for around ten minutes. Then I moved in for the prey. When I entered the basement I saw the twins holding hands in some sick, incestuous way. "Well, well, well," I said shaking my head as I walked down the stairs. "What have we here? Tweedle-Tay, Michaela and - a gun!" I picked up the gun. "Well, it's a good thing I arrived before my brother was dead isn't it?" I paused. "Oh, look! Matching outfits. You are a clever girl Michaela. How will I know which one of you to shoot?"
The twins looked at each other in fear and moved so that they were standing about three metres apart. Finally one of them said, "Well, I guess if you can't tell which one's which you'll have to let us both go."
"I could," I agreed. "But the devil had been in this house two weeks too long. I'm not leaving this basement until Michaela is dead. Tweedle- Tay, all you have to do is notify me of who you are in some way."
I stared as the twins. Which one was Michaela? I knew that Tweedle- Tay was maybe an inch taller than Michaela but they were standing too far apart for me to be able to tell who was taller. And Michaela had taped her breasts down. I was so ashamed. I couldn't even tell the difference between my brother and this impostor. I didn't want to shoot my brother but unless he admitted who he was soon I'd have to shoot both twins. Finally I said, "If I can't tell the difference between you soon I'll have to shoot you both."
Maybe that would convince Tweedle-Tay to own up. The twins just stood perfectly still. Finally one of the twins looked longingly at the other and walked slowly towards me. When the twin was standing directly in front of me they kissed me softy on the lips. Only one person would kiss me like that........ "Tweedle-Tay!" I cried out, happily. "It's you!" I pointed my gun at Michaela. I pulled the trigger and - nothing happened. I must have kept the safety on. Michaela started to move away. I shot at her again but nothing happened. The stupid gun hadn't been loaded.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Tweedle-Tay was dancing and jumping up and down excitedly. "I didn't load the gun!"
It was then that I realised that Tweedle-Tay, the person that had kissed me, was not Tweedle-Tay. It was Michaela.
The real Tweedle-Tay was also saying, "Oh my god." He was shaking his head and shivering. Michaela ran over to him, doing a joyous little dance. "Tay!" she cried. "I didn't load the gun. I forgot. You're alive!!!! I'm alive!!!! It's okay! Everything is going to turn out great!" She jumped on him to hug him and he fell over. Michaela quickly got off Tweedle-Tay, who was not responding to her happy bear hug. "Tweedle-Tay," she said, as they got up. "Are you okay?"
Tweedle-Tay shook his head as he walked towards me, bitter and twisted. "You nearly shot me," he said. "What kind of crazed fuckwit are you, to shoot your brother!?!?"
"I uh, thought you were Michaela...." I protested weakly.
"Then what kind of crazed fuckwit are you to shoot your sister!!!!! And you thought she was me because she kissed you -"
"Tay," Michaela butted in. "I want you to know the only reason that I kissed Neuton was that I knew it was something you'd never do."
"Oh shut up Michaela!" Tweedle-Tay screamed. She stepped back, hurt. He returned his attention to me. "What sort of twisted person are you?? Did you really think that I had incestuous feelings for you? Did you really think that I'd want to have a homosexual relationship with my own brother??????" He sighed. "You're going to be in deep shit when Mom and Dad find out about this." Tay grabbed Michaela's hand. "Come on Kay!"
Michaela glared at me as she and Tweedle-Tay walked up the stairs. I quickly followed them into the kitchen where Mom and Dad were doing the washing up. "Dad," Tweedle-Tay said. "You wouldn't believe what just happened."
Our parents turned around. "What sweetie?" Mom asked.
"I think you'd better sit down for this," Michaela said. I could see the smug look on her face. She had won Tweedle-Tay's love and affection and I had lost.
We all sat down at the dinner table. "Well?" our father asked.
"Don't believe a word he says!" I screamed. "He's been seduced by the devil!"
Michaela rolled her eyes. Tweedle-Tay continued, "Michaela and I were in the basement, looking to see if Michaela had left anything there, as she has to leave today. While we were there, Neuton came down and threatened to shoot Michaela, but he got it wrong and tried to shoot me instead. Luckily the gun wasn't loaded but -"
"But how did the gun get there in the first place?" I interrupted. "I'll tell you how. Michaela brought it down there because she was going to shoot Tweedle-Tay. If I hadn't gotten there in time she would have shot him and taken his place in our house."
All eyes were on Michaela. She sighed and dropped her head in her hands. When she finally looked up again she said, "Oh....... how do I explain this? I never intended to shoot Tweedle-Tay, that's why I didn't load the gun. I was just threatening him so that he would make you let me stay at your house for longer."
"Oh," our father said sarcastically. "You were only threatening him. Well, that makes everything okay. Michaela, you are just as much at fault as Neuton. If not more. I do believe it was your gun, was it not?"
"Well yes," Michaela said.
"Dad!" yelled Tweedle-Tay. "you are totally missing the point. It was Neuton who intended to kill me, not Michaela. And Neuton has a homosexual crush on me, which just goes to show how sick he is. Michaela doesn't have an incestuous crush on me....."
"As far as you know...." I said slyly.
Michaela laughed. "Neuton sweetie," she said in a seductive voice. "You know what I think? I think you have a crush on me and you are so afraid of it that you tried to kill me. Darling, are you afraid that you have been seduced by the devil?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. Tay stared at her in shock. "What!? I was only joking." she said defensively. "Sorry," she added.
"Anyway," Tweedle-Tay went on, "Michaela threatening to kill me got me thinking. I'm not going to let you send Michaela away. If you do, I won't go to London to make the new CD. I'll quit the band."
