"Well, you're dressed up," Jessica commented, staring silently at Elizabeth the next morning.
Elizabeth was wearing a sheer white dress with nothing on underneath except for a pair of black lace underpants and a pair of spiky black heels. It looked familiar…Jessica frowned, and then realized it was that it was that negligee that she'd brought at Victoria's Secret three months ago for Pajama Day. Chrome Dome Cooper had sent her home after forcing her to put on all the tacky clothes in the lost and found box.
"Lizzie, don't you think you should put something else on?" Jessica asked, sighing. If she couldn't wear it, why should Elizabeth be able to? Besides, she had looked hot in it.
"Oh silly, of course I will," Elizabeth laughed. Jessica relaxed.
Elizabeth selected a black raincoat from her closet.
"But Liz, it's not raining," Jessica said.
"I know," Elizabeth replied, rolling her eyes. "We better go, Jess. We're late."
"Are we?" Jessica asked, panicking. "What time is it?"
"I don't know," Elizabeth answered, already skipping out to the Fiat. "A watch doesn't go with this outfit."

By the time the twins reached school, the halls were already emptying out. Jessica glanced nervously around for Chrome Dome Cooper, and sighed with relief that he didn't seem to be anywhere in sight. He'd been threatening to take her off the cheerleading squad if she didn't get a handle on her tardiness.
Winston Egbert, walking on the opposite side of the hallway, gave them a cheery wave. Jessica was raising her hand in a half hearted greeting when she caught side of a flash out of the corner of her eye. She turned and saw Elizabeth was buckling up her raincoat again.
Winston's face was bright red.
"Later Jess," Elizabeth called. "Bye Win."
Jessica cracked open the door to home room, and slipped inside. She froze when she saw Mr. Cooper sitting at Mr. Russo's desk at the front of the room.
"Hi Jessica," he said. "Glad you could join us. Mr. Russo has the flu, so I'm filling in for him today."
