Twin Troubles

At the Zanar house…

That Friday evening (Jan 26) Tidus, who sat at the table with his dad, stuff pieces of pizza in his mouth. Jecht did the same and said, "So, how's your mom?"

"She's good," Tidus said, not delving into any further.

"And Shuyin?" Jecht asked.

Tidus, not wanting to talk about his twin brother, said nothing.

"Your mom called. She wants him to come to Radiant Garden for school," Jecht said.

That made Tidus choke on his pizza. After coughing up some pieces of lodged pizza from his throat, Tidus yelled, "ARE YOU NUTS?"

"It nice to have a supportive family, isn't it?" Jecht sarcastically said.

"You know that him being around usually doesn't do anyone good! You remember the last time he was here?" Tidus yelled.

"Yes and I remember that Shuyin and you blew my car," Jecht said.

"But he made me!" Tidus said, making his case (in reality, he had fun blowing up his dad's car).

"Yeah, yeah! Shuyin and you didn't like my old 1989 F-150, so you blew it up. I had to convince the insurance company that that didn't happen on purpose!" Jecht said, yelling at the end.

"But Yuna said that she would break up with me if he was ever around again," Tidus whined.

"Bah! You'll find someone new, crybaby," Jecht said.

"And he made me blow up the fishing huts on Besaid!" Tidus said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! You willing joined it, Tidus," Jecht said, still eating pizza.

Tidus whined and began remembering what really happened that day. This is what really happened:

Shuyin (who looked exactly like Tidus and sound a lot like him) walked with Tidus to the beach with what looked like a detonator in his hands. The two ten year old twins headed near the docks and Tidus noticed the detonator. "Ooh, what's that?" he asked his twin, reaching for the detonator.

Shuyin slapped his hand and screamed, "Don't touch it!"

"Why not?" Tidus asked.

"It's the history eraser button, you fool!" Shuyin yelled.

"So, what'll happen?" Tidus asked.

"That's just it. I don't know. Maybe something bad…Maybe something good? I guess we'll never know. 'Cause you're gonna guard it while I get us some snacks from Mom," Shuyin said, smiling evilly.

He then left, leaving a curious Tidus with the detonator. With moments, the button started calling to him. "Must not touch it! Must not touch it!" Tidus told himself.

Seconds later, Tidus grabbed the detonator (with Shuyin smiling evilly from afar) and screamed, "NO, I CAN'T RESIST!"

Tidus pushed the button and several of the fishing huts blew up. "Uh oh," Tidus said looking at the burned huts.

"Ooh, you're gonna get it," Shuyin said, an evil grin on his face.

"Shuyin! You set me up!" Tidus yelled and lunged at him.

The two twins began fighting each other, with Shuyin winning. Much to the twins' dismay, their Mom was nearby. "Shuyin Kira Zanar! Tidus Yagami Zanar! Get over here now!"

The two headed to their now fuming mother and was publically flogged in the village moments later….

Tidus came out of the flashback and said to his father, "Mom had us flogged in front of everyone in the village, even Yuna…"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Just finish dinner so you can finish your homework," Jecht said, leaving the table.

'Shuyin's gonna make life even worse…' Tidus whined.

The next day…

Yuna, Ven, Yuffie, Lea, Demyx, Firion, Luneth and Zack headed over to Tidus's house as they had plans to have a movie day. Bringing their favorite movies and snacks (and having Eraqus as their driver), the group hoped to have a fun day. When they had arrived, they saw…Tidus outside with suitcases around him.

The eight got out of Eraqus's new SUV and headed for the house. "Tidus? What are you doing outside your own house?" Luneth asked him.

"Tidus? That's not my name," the teen said.

"Huh? Tidus, did you bonk your head recently?" Yuffie asked.

"No and I'm not Tidus," the teen said.

Yuna gasped and the others stared. "What's wrong?" Lea asked.

"Shuyin?" she asked.

"Yuna. It's been, what, five years," Shuyin said.

"W-why are you here?" Yuna yelled.

"'Cause my grandparents wanted me gone and mom wanted me to live with my dad," Shuyin said.

"You're Tidus's twin brother?" Demyx said, just getting it.

"Yeah…And?" Shuyin said.

"He should join our group!" Demyx happily said.

"I dunno. He seems kinda…rebellious," Ven mumbled.

"Rebellious? Well he's my kind of guy! Heya, Shuyin! I'm Lea," Lea said.

"Ventus, but you can call me Ven," Ven said.

"Yuffie," Yuffie said, finishing a text.

"Demyx," Demyx said, holding his guitar case.

"Firion," Firion replied.

"Luneth," Luneth said.

"And I'm Zack. Pleased to meet ya," Zack said.

"Shuyin…Shuyin Zanar," Shuyin said.

After the introductions, the door opened and Jecht saw the group and Shuyin. "Heya, Shuyin," Jecht said.

"Hi Dad," Shuyin said.

He noticed Tidus and saw him poke his head out from behind a corner. "Hey, crybaby," Shuyin said.

Tidus grudgingly headed for the door and said to his twin, "Hiya."

"So, Mom didn't want you in the house either," Shuyin said.

"At least she told me why," Tidus said.

"To spend time with Dad?" Shuyin said.

"Ah! How did you know?" Tidus said.

"She told me," Shuyin replied.

"Maybe we should come back tomorrow," Ven said.

"No! We're still having movie day, even though Demon-Child's here!" Tidus said.

"'Demon-Child'?" Shuyin said.

"You heard me, 'Spawn of Satan'!" Tidus yelled.

Jecht moved out of the way and Shuyin said, "What? You're tough now, Momma's Boy?"Shuyin asked, taunting his twin.

"At least I didn't get kicked out the house when I was eleven," Tidus said.

"Momma's Boy!" Shuyin yelled.

"Prince of Darkness!" Tidus yelled back.

"Big Pansy!" Shuyin yelled, getting louder.

"Pain-In-The-Butt!" Tidus yelled.

As they argued, Jecht and the others brought Shuyin's things in. Within seconds, the two twins began fighting on the front lawn, covering themselves in snow. After ten minutes of nonstop fighting, Jecht broke up the two and pulled them in the house by their ears.

A bit later…

The twins, now wearing warm clothes and blankets as their clothes were wet from the snow, glared at each other as Shuyin sat in his father's lounge chair and Tidus sat on the couch with Yuna, Zack and Lea. "I hate you," Tidus mumbled, glaring.

"The feeling's mutual," Shuyin said, glaring darkly.

"Okay…if we can stop trying to kill each other, can we please watch movies now," Luneth said, really wanting to watch movies.

The first movie Zack put into Jecht's Blu-Ray player was "Ocean's Eleven". After watching it, the group of now ten was pleased.

"Do ya got the sequel?" Ven asked.

"Yeppers," Yuffie said, holding up "Ocean's Twelve".

"Is it just me, or do the Ocean's group remind me of us," Yuna asked.

"If the jocks really do take revenge like that, I just hope we have an elaborate plan like that," Firion mumbled.

"Jocks? Vengeance?" Shuyin asked, seemingly interested.

Zack was about to say something when Tidus and Yuna screamed, "Don't do it!"

"Why not?" Zack asked.

"The instant you mention who you want revenge on, Shuyin has a tendency to go over the top," Tidus replied.

"No I don't," Shuyin said.

"Yes you do," Yuna said.

"Name one time," Shuyin said, challenging them.

"You blew up our grade school math teacher's car after she gave you an F on your report card," Tidus said.

"That witch had it coming," Shuyin said (and the author censoring him).

"And you set fire to the Acerbi's garden," Yuna said.

"Marluxia shouldn't have stolen my lunch money," Shuyin replied.

"Acerbi? Y-you managed to get revenge on Marluxia and live to tell the tale?" Demyx asked.

"Yeah? Is that a bad thing?" Shuyin asked.

"Son, Marluxia is now head of the Acerbi crime family here. If he saw your face again…he may kill ya," Jecht said.

"I'm not scared of flower boy," Shuyin said, making Ven, Demyx and Yuffie idolize him.

"Zack! We need him on our team!" Yuffie yelled.

"But he's a bit…crazy," Zack said.

"So? That's nothing compared to what Larxene did. She went to jail before! Jail!" Ven said, changing his mind on Shuyin.

"Please, Zack…Let Shuyin join us! We need the manpower to defeat the jocks and defend the outcasts!" Demyx said.

"And I don't want Larxene breaking my guitar again…" he added.

"And I don't want Marluxia to take my lunch money while I starve…" Yuna mumbled.

Tidus heard this and said, "Okay, Zack…I don't mind him being in the group."

Zack turned to Shuyin and asked, "Do ya wanna help us?"

"I guess so…as long as I get something to eat," Shuyin said.

With that, Shuyin was now the thirteenth member of the KS group. 'Yay, we're now like "Ocean's Thirteen",' Ven thought happily.

Later that night…

After everyone else left, Tidus and Shuyin went to bed. Much to the twins' dismay, they had to share the same room. Tidus's room (which was almost as large as Jecht's master bedroom) was large enough to have two beds. So, Jecht had Shuyin on one side of the room while Tidus was on the other side.

Going into bed, the twins lied in the bed and were wide awake. After an hour, Tidus asked, "You sleep?"

"No," Shuyin said, sounding annoyed.

"Are you really serious about helping us?" Tidus asked.

"Hey, as long as I can get revenge on Marluxia for destroying Mom's car and blaming it on me, I'm fine," Shuyin replied.

Tidus then went silent as Shuyin fell asleep. 'As long as you don't blow something up and blame it on me,' Tidus thought.

That Monday morning (Jan 29)…

Shuyin, now wearing the school's uniform, headed for Yen Sid's office to turn in his transfer papers. As he headed for the office, someone said, "What're you doing here, Tidus? This is our spot."

Shuyin looked and saw that Braig and the other archers surround him. "Who're you?" he asked them.

"Seriously, newbie forgot about us?" an archer asked.

"Maybe we should beat it back into him," another suggested.

Braig agreed and two of the archers were about to pummel him when Shuyin punched Braig and his attackers in the nose, affectively breaking it. "Ow! This isn't newbie!" Braig said, holding his now broken nose.

"I'm not. The name's Shuyin…Tidus's twin brother," Shuyin said and walked off.

"We'll get you yet," was the last thing Shuyin heard from them as they ran to Nurse Rosa's office.

In Prof. Cecil Harvey's Astronomy class…

The class sat in silence as Prof. Harvey began his lecture on the Outer Planets of the Sol Solar System. In the middle of his lecture, Prof. Harvey asked, "Who can tell me why the Great Red Spot on Jupiter is so large?"

"Because it's a zit!" one of the cheerleaders said.

Prof. Harvey stared at her and said, "Uh…no. Anyone else?"

"Because it's filled with the ultimate evil! The devil!" Demyx yelled.

Prof. Harvey stared at Demyx and said, "No…That's not it. Anyone at all?"

"It's where vampires take their prey and eat them!" one of the Goths said.

Prof. Harvey's eye twitched and he said, "No."

"Because that's where babies come from!" one of the archers yelled.

"Wait…What? NO!" Prof. Harvey yelled.

"That's the rash on Jupiter's butt!" another student yelled.

"Heck no!" Prof. Harvey yelled, getting censored.

The class went silent again and Ven raised his hand. "Yes, Ventus," Prof. Harvey said, sighing in relief.

"Isn't it because it's a giant hurricane of gases?" Ven said.

"Yes! Thank God, someone got it!" Prof. Harvey yelled loudly.

"As I was saying, the Great Red Spot of Jupiter is massive due to it being a hurricane of gases. The spot is so large that three Earths can fit inside it. Also, since the planet is just atmosphere, storms there have been raging for countless years," Prof. Harvey said.

"So, if there are storms on Jupiter, is it the same as here?" Yazoo asked.

"That's a stupid question," an archer said.

"Actually, yes. Hurricanes, thunderstorms and other weather patterns have been recently found by astrologists using the Galileo telescope. The thunder there is 100 times brighter than those here on Earth," Prof. Harvey said.

He was about to continue when Shuyin entered the room. "Yes?" Prof. Harvey said.

"I'm a new student here. Shuyin Zanar," Shuyin said, giving Prof. Harvey his schedule.

"Alright. Just sit next to Ventus and Demyx over there," Prof. Harvey said, giving back

Shuyin did and Prof. Harvey continued his explanation on the planet Jupiter.

In Coach Dilan's office…

Coach Dilan saw a sight that he thought was a horrific one. He saw the archers come into his office with bandages and stitches on their noses. "What the heck happened to you?" he asked.

"A new kid kicked the crap out of us," Braig told him, holding his nose in pain.

"We tried telling Coach Auron, but he said that this is what we get for ana…atago…what's that word he used again?" one of the archers said.

"He said 'antagonizing'," Braig told her.

"Yeah, that's it!" the archer said.

"Coaches Auron and Jecht are traitors. If we want to keep our hold over everyone, we must join forces with Coach Jihl and her 'Cheerios'," Coach Dilan said.

"Aw! Why?" the archers yelled.

Coach Dilan threw a lance at Braig, nearly hitting his head, and the archers went silent. "Okay, okay! We will!" the archers quickly said and ran out of the room.

After school…

The Fair's Thirteen (the nickname of the KS Group; idea given by Ven) waited inside Prof. Sazh's classroom for Firion, Isa and Ven. "So, how long until they come out?" Lea asked, eating a bag of chips.

"IDK. I'm just wondering when everyone's gonna show up," Zack said, sitting in a desk and doing his homework.

"Well, Yuna's still in choir practice. Isa, Ven and Firion are doing drills in the JROTC. Shuyin and Tidus are in Yen Sid's office. Garnet, Zidane and Vivi are cleaning the photography room and Demyx is…" Luneth said, doing his homework as well.

Demyx burst into the room with his guitar and said, "Am I late?"

"Nope," Zack said, looking up.

Demyx sat next to Yuffie and saw that she was texting up a storm. "Who're you texting?" Demyx asked, looking at her phone.

Yuffie immediately put the phone away and said, "N-no one."

"Ooh! Yuffie's got a crush?" Garnet said, poking her head in the room.

Zidane, Vivi and she entered the room with large amounts of snacks and threw them on Prof. Sazh's desk. "Hey!" Prof. Sazh said, entering the room.

"Get these snacks off my desk," he yelled.

"Sorry," Vivi said and took the snacks to Zack's desk.

"Heya! Are we late?" Ven asked.

"Nope. We didn't start yet," Zack said.

Ven, Firion and Isa quickly came in with Shuyin and Tidus following behind. "Oh. Sazh, I didn't know you were sponsoring the kids," someone said.

The group saw Captain Laguna Loire (Squall Leonheart's father) entered the classroom with a few of the JROTC members. "Hey! I thought it was members only!" Tidus yelled.

"They're good people," Firion said to him.

"Okay, since everyone's here, we'll start the meet…" Zack was about to say.

"Oh, so this is where the worthless students went," someone said.

Looking at the door in horror, the group saw Coach Dilan, some of the archers and football players. "What do you want, Dilan?" Prof. Sazh asked, annoyed.

"Well, we're here to see the little bits," Braig said.

That angered Shuyin and Firion (as it was a great insult to the latter). "Chickens! Chickens!" one of the football players said.

That angered everyone in the room and Shuyin said, "Oh. I guess our group is too demanding for those who think one plus one is eleven."

That angered all the football players and archers. "Hey, some of us got dyslexia…" one of the archers said, getting sad.

"Or is that pure stupidity," Isa said, getting laughs from the JROTC, KS group, Prof. Sazh and Captain Laguna.

That angered Braig to the point where he yelled at Isa, "Okay, Werewolf! How 'bout we take you all on for the hardest badge you got!"

"Holy crap! Is he talking about the…the?" one of the other JROTC members said.

"'The Jesus' Courage and Resilience on the Cross Badge'?" Firion muttered.

"No one's, not even an entire group of soldiers, earned that badge in over 125 years!" Ven yelled.

"That badge has trampled the courage of all who tried to obtain it," Captain Laguna muttered in fear.

"I smell a pansy, people," Coach Dilan said.

"A pansy?" one of the football players asked.

"Yup. A big, fat pansy!" Coach Dilan said, referring to Captain Laguna.

That angered Captain Laguna to the point where he yelled, "ENOUGH! YOUR MOCKERY INSULTS US! You know not where you tread, Dilan."

"Yeah, I do. I'll join in with four of the best jocks," Dilan said.

"Then I'll choose Firion, Isa, Zack, and Ven! We'll do the challenge tomorrow morning in the gym, in front of the whole school!" Captain Laguna said.

That scared everyone. 'Oh no…What is Captain Laguna getting us into…?' Ven thought.

With that, the plans were made and the groups began preparing for the competition…
