It wasn't till late that afternoon did Dameon return. He was happier than she'd ever seen him and it warmed her to the core, yet they'd blown off a meeting with Gero because whether she admit it or not, she was terrified of the man. She didn't like him period but Dameon was interested in the potential the old man held for both of them. Desiree couldn't stay angry at her charming brother long and soon the two were clubbing the night away.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
They pulled into the parking lot. "We can't stay much longer, Dameon. Mom and Dad are going to start suspecting something." He grunted in response as they entered the black room before flipping on the light. Both fell onto the bed tired, Dameon not bothering to change. He fell asleep within minutes as Desiree changed.
She curled under her sheets and closed her eyes. She then fell into a dream...
"Juuhachigou! C'mon, let's go ride the rollercoaster." She turned to her brother. "Juuanagou, you are the biggest kid I've ever seen." He muttered a hateful remark under his breath before walking away. Swarms of people cluster about the amusement park and in minutes they were all dead, on behalf of the twins actions.
The blonde flipped back her hair, laughing. "I haven't had this much fun in years!" Her brother smiled beside her as he pulled up in a car. "C'mon, let's go home."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
She awoke with a jerk, face to face with her brother. "Dameon?" He frowned. "C'mon, we have to get going. Gero's having lunch with us today. It's nearly ten now." Desiree nodded. Rising up, she pulled a shirt over her head since she'd just worn her underwear and bra to bed. She then pulled up her L.E.I's and buttoned them. "Where are we eating?" Dameon brushed out his raven tresses. "Some panda place, I dunno. Why?" Desiree just shrugged before grabbing her brother's keys.
"I'm driving."
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
"If you'd like, I can show you my laboratory?"
Desiree stared into his icy blue eyes. She dreaded the thought of hers ever mirroring that image. "Sure. Let's go." Desiree was startled by her brother's response. "Dameon?" He turned to her. His eyes were warm. They seemed to be saying, 'everything's gonna be okay'. So she followed him.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
The ride to Gero's lab was in silence. Desiree was nervous for the both of them yet Dameon seemed carefree and comfortable about the whole thing. He blarred his radio and mouthed the words along to it as they followed the old man. For what seemed forever, they finally made it.
The building was very professional looking. Shiny glass windows shined to them and the parking lot was dotted with a few cars. The two pulled in and followed Gero inside.
Desiree felt very out of place in her blue jeans and tanktop while women in suits walked passed her, envious of the teen's beauty. She even caught a few older men's eyes. She then remembered the handsome boy waiting her back home. "Come Desiree," said Gero. She followed closely behind her brother.
Many guards gave them clearance and soon they were in a very private, very secluded area. No one besides themselves and Gero were in the high tech room. "This is my home." Dameon was automatically intrigued by the high tech gadgets and fixtures that decorated the room. Desiree on the other hand, still felt uncomfortable.
"If you two are serious about this position, which I hope you are, I'm going to have to ask you to take a test." Dameon nodded. "Anything." Desiree frowned. "Dr. Gero? What exactly does this 'position' include?" Gero grinned. "I knew you'd ask that. You are a feisty one, aren't you?" Desiree didn't return the smile.
"Well, it will cover the rest of your high school credits. Also it will gurantee you any scholarship possible." Dameon tapped a glass. "What's the catch?" Gero chuckled. "Ah...why would you think there is a catch?" Desiree crossed her arms. "Because this is too good to be true. We've been offered millions of scholarships already." Gero smiled. "M'dear, this will give you the job of a lifetime. Have the job I never could. Study people's actions and invent things for me. I need a younger mind to work and create the dynamics I need."
Dameon smiled. "Desiree isn't that good at mathematics." Desiree glared.
"No matter. She can work in marketing as well, come up with good slogans and gimics to sell our products." Desiree picked up the five page test. "When is it due?" Gero walked over to her and looked into her sapphire eyes. "A week." Desiree picked up the booklet and sat down in a small, metal chair. Grabbing a pencil, within twenty minutes she was done.
"Here. Easy."
Gero grinned as Dameon handed in his own test. "Here." He glanced at Desiree. "Easy." Gero examined each test carefully, frowning a bit before flipping the next page. Both of the twins weren't the least bit nervous about the results, they knew they were flawless. "Very well," he finally concluded. He handed them a schedule. "You start next Monday. Enjoy your weekend." The twins didn't grin or show any emotion. "Thank you, Dr. Gero." The old man nodded and the two exited his lab.
As he watched them leave he flipped on the nearest computer and typed a few codes before a window popped up. "So are they in?" Gero chuckled. "Yes dear. You did an excellent job." The girl nodded, blowing back her stray hair. "And what about the boy? Are you getting any closer?" She nodded. "As close as a girl can get to her boyfriend." Gero nodded and closed the window.
The twins were the embodiment of perfection in its sharpest form. With a few minor adjustments, they'd be past perfect. He rose from his seat and flipped off a button. Every worker shut disappeared as the hologram projectors shut off. Perfect, he thought.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Dameon drove down the interstate. He couldn't believe how perfect everything was. He was closer to Fiona that he'd ever imagined and he now had a great job at one of the most high tech buildings he'd ever seen. He tapped his hands on the steering wheel as he drove on. Desiree closed her eyes, blocking out the lyrics and melodic beat.
"Can you believe this?"
Desiree put on a fake grin. "I know. It's great." Dameon laughed a bit before pulling into their home city. "I need to tell you something." Desiree didn't reply. "And it needs to stay between us." Desiree nodded as they pulled into their driveway. He sat there a moment, turning off the engine. He studied his steering wheel a moment before for barely whispering it.
"I love Fiona."
Desiree glared. "Don't be stupid." She reached for handle of the door. He grabbed her shoulder with a certain force. "I mean it Desiree. I wouldn't say it if I didn't and you know that." She searched his eyes for uncertainty but there was no trace of it to be found. She squeezed his hand. "I'm sure you are." Dameon let go of her hand and suddenly bolted from the car and up the stairs.
