A Psychologist's Day and Life

Chapter Five: Twin

Remember when I said that I was an early bird? There were some mornings when I just wanted to sleep in. This is one of those mornings. To my dismay, however, it seemed like this wasn't possible as I had a conversation in my sleep…or so it seemed….

A voice comes up, "Up!"

"Huh?"

"Wake up!"

"Don't want to."

"Open your eyes!"

"No."

"Come on, get a move on!"

"Let me think about that…no."

"…"

"…"

"… 'Whack!'"

This forces me to wake up. Finding myself rubbing my head after an attack, I yell, "Why the hell did you do that for?"

"I thought you need a good waking up call," the voice replied.

"Well, you don't have to whack me with something to…get…my…attention…" I stuttered when I saw the owner of the voice. He looked just like me, talked like me. A mirror image…like a…twin!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I yelled at him.

"What? You're not happy to see me?"

"No, I'm just wondering how you got here!"

Remember when I also said that I had a twin? Well his name is Amor ('love' in Italian. It's very surprising how much mileage you can get with his name alone) He is the exact opposite of me. I'm serious, he's funny. I'm respectable, he's sarcastic. The list can go on. Remington said that he with all my other loved ones were trapped in a frozen time state, unable to move. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw him whacking me with a pillow.

I got him in a headlock, "You still haven't answered my question. How did you get here?"

Trying to get free, he replied, "Yo, if you can let me go, then I can tell you!"

I let him go, then took a deep breath and began. "I was sleeping…"

Begin Flashback

Amor Narrating: Having the best sleep in my life, I continued to sleep. Then something happened.

"Arise…"

"No…"

"I said, 'arise'"

"Make me!"

"…Wake up or I'll give you a spanking…"

Waking up, I found myself seeing gray and on your bed was Remington.

"Don't tell me, this is a dream, you can't be real."

"I'm sorry my dear boy, but this is no dream."

"What happened?"

"Time has frozen. I needed your brother's help."

"So what, he's at the computer trying to think of a good story."

"No, he's at the Order. Would you like me to take you to him?"

"I don't believe you. Show me."

He then showed me to the computer, with you gone.

"Oh, so you were right."

"Indeed."

"So why do you need me?"

"He need someone he can relate to. Someone familiar…like you."

"Okay…so what are we doing."

"We're trying to prevent something bad happening."

"What?"

"I'll tell you later. Please come with me."

He then did something with his pocket and a blinding light was all I saw. Moments later, I found myself in a bedroom with you snoring. You should really shut up! I felt like putting a pillow in your mouth.

End Flashback

I looked at him with a dumb look. Then said to him, "We're playing psychologist to some of these people."

"Really," he said in his sarcastic tone.

"Remington plans to save Rosette and her friends."

Amor moaned, "So that's what he's doing. Man, we both know that girl's screwed."

"That's what I said to him."

"Then why?"

I then explained Remington's excuse for bring me here in the first place, how he did it and how it came to be that we were psychologists. When I was done, he looked at me funny.

"And that's my story," I concluded.

"So we're supposed to help people with their problems with no experiences, techniques or anything like that?"

"That's right."

"With no history of a person's past whatsoever?"

"Correct."

"And we solve these problems by our perception?"

"I think that's what we're have to do."

"… …Okay. I think I got it all."

As we talked, I got myself ready. My brother was still in his nightwear.

"Aren't you going to get ready?" I asked him. "It's almost time for breakfast."

"Okay," he said as he got out his clothes. It was the exact same thing as I was wearing however it was dark grey. It took him about a good ten minutes to get dressed (I had to help him with the tie).

"Let's go," I said as we both headed out the door. When we arrived at the cafeteria, Remington was waiting for us as with two bowls of cereal.

"I see that you've met your brother," Remington said with a smile.

"You think you're all that, surprising me and all," I said sitting down.

"There has been a change of plans," Remington announced. "Sister Kate will be sending you those patients tomorrow morning. This is the perfect opportunity to show your brother around the compound."

"Great," I said rolling my eyes, looking at Amor who was busily eating.

"I'm sure you told Amor about our present situation," Remington said to me. Amor looked at him.

"I told half of it," I said honestly.

Remington gave a sigh. He told Amor of the whole situation in which he understood it. After what seemed like minutes, he got up, "I'll leave you two alone. You know the rules, Bert?"

"Yeah. Don't leave the compound without permission, be back by seven, bah bah bah."

"Yes…I do hope that you boys will follow these rules." As he left, Amor said to me, "What a stuck-up priest. Thinking that he know everything."

"That's what I thought first. Actually, he isn't a priest. He's a minister."

"I've got another question for you smart guy. Shut up."

I showed Amor around. He was very impressed about all of this. Then…we heard her.

"Hey Bert, over here!" We both turned around and saw Azmaria heading towards us.

"Please don't tell me who I think it is?"

"If you're thinking about me telling you that it's the bumbling Apostle of Charity, then you're right." I said sadly. She was running real fast.

"You know Tales of Symphonia right?"

"Right…"

"And I can probably say that Colette runs the same way Azmaria is doing right now."

"Where are you going with this…"

"The chances of her slipping up like Colette are about 5 in 1. So I bet she will slip right about…"

At that time, Azmaria did indeed slipped.

"…now."

"Ouch, that's gotta hurt," Amor commented.

We went over to her and when we got close she was still flat on her face.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked her.

"… … …"

"Hello?"

"… … …sniff"

Amor braced himself, "Oh boy, here comes the water works."

We could then see her face. She had tears in her eyes.

I patted her on the back, "Hey, you didn't hurt yourself, did you?"

She shook her head. "Then what's wrong?" I asked her.

"Maybe she needs something?" Amor said. "Hey, you need a glass of water or something."

Her tears dried up. Then she inquired, "Bert? How come there's two of you?"

We looked at each other. Before I could respond we both heard the sounds of what was like a banshee.

"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?"

We both looked forward to see a nun heading towards us in full speed. Upon closer examination, it was Rosette.

"Have you ever been run over by a bull?" I asked Amor.

"No," Amor replied.

"Neither have I but I have a feeling that we're going to today!" As we braced ourselves, she stopped in front of us her face twisted of anger.

"I asked you what you two were doing here?" Rosette questioned, calmed down a little.

Amor replied, "Listen nun-girl, we didn't do jack shit to your friend, got it g'?" I looked at him and I slapped my face. "Oh God."

It looked like Rosette was going to attack us until Azmaria intervened.

"Please Rosette, calm down. These two were just helping me, that's all."

"Well…I thank you for helping Azmaria," Rosette said helping Azmaria up. We got up as well and standed in front of her.

"How come there's two of you, Bert?" Rosette asked me. Amor almost couldn't hold in his laughing. She look straight at him.

"I don't know what's so funny mister," she crossed her arms. Amor then couldn't take anymore and started to laugh. He rolled on the ground.

"What's up with him?" Azmaria asked.

"I don't' know, he's weird," I said, shaking my head. If your brother would act like this, you would do the same thing. "So what, Azmaria? Just wanted to say hi?"

"No," she said in her friendly tone of voice, "I just wanted to invited you two to…"

Just then, Rosette intervened, "why are you inviting these two?"

"Because you said I could invited anyone. And I pick Bert and his…uh…"

"Twin brother," I said proudly. "His name is Amor."

"Pleased to meet you, Amor," Azmaria bowed. "Anyways, we're going on a little outing as Sister Kate gave us all the day off."

"I'm not busy," I said to her, "we'll be glad to go."

Rosette's showed anger and embarrassment. Then she conceded. "Okay fine, they can come. Might as well show them New York. I still don't know why we have to invite them…"

"Someone's been drinking too much haterade." Amor murmured.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" She questioned him.

"You heard me. You're a hater. You've been drinking to much haterade. Get off the stuff."

While Amor and Rosette try to bit their heads off, I sighed. "Okay let's go," I said, tugging Amor along.

"We'll be at the front entrance at 10:00. Be sure to be there!" Azmaria shouted. As we left, Rosette talked to Azmaria.

"You don't even know them," she said.

Azmaria replied, "But this is a good way to interact with him as well as his twin. I'm sure he's nice, just the same."

"I don't know how the others will take a liking to them." Rosette said uncomfortably.

While they were talking, Amor and I were having a little conversation of our own.

"Why did you do that?" Amor questioned me.

"One: don't do slang. They don't know it so it's pointless to use it."

"She made me mad," Amor said.

"No excuse. Two: have composure. What you do is a refection of me."

"Okay, okay. I'll behave myself," Amor crossed his arms. "And I call you my brother."

"I have to tell Remington about our departure," I said. "I have to talk to him."

"Try Sister Kate's office. He's always there in each episode."

"Your right," I said to him, leaving Amor behind. He then proceeded to explore the compound by himself.

At Sister Kate' s office, Remington was all for the idea. "I think it's a good idea," he said while slipping his tea. "You can have a tour of the city."

"And get a history lesson," I pointed out. Then Sister Kate walked in.

"Hello Bert. How are you enjoying your stay?"

"Fine, fine." I said to her.

"I was surprised at the news that your brother was coming. I hope he's effective as you are in your work."

"I hope so too," I said to her. "Good day." I left the two in there.

"There's a lot of people here who need help," Kate pointed out.

"Yes…but they will manage," Remington said, taking another slip of tea.

At 9:45, a car was parked at the entrance and we went to it. Chrono and Azmaria were at the back and Rosette was waiting outside of the car.

"What took you?" Rosette asked us.

"Amor couldn't find the entrance again," I made up the excuse. Actually, he was in the cafeteria stuffing his face in chocolate cake.

"Mary, Claire and Anna are coming as well," Rosette said, "one of you can drive with them."

"I call shot gun," Amor shouted as he went over in the car. Then another car pulled up, with the other three sisters in there already. The blond came out.

"Hey Rosette," the blond said. "So are you ready?"

"Yep," she said happily, "this is Sister Mary."

"The brown haired one is Claire and the red head is Anna, right?"

The two of them looked dumbfounded. "How did you know?" Rosette asked.

"I know…I just know. Yeah, that's it!" I got in the car. "Are we going or what?"

"Yeah, yeah," Rosette said as she got in her car. Mary did the same. The group was ready as they pulled out of the entrance and out of the compound.

We're going to New York City. How will everything turn out? It was hard putting my brother's personalities here I hope you enjoy him. Anyways, please R&R.
