I cannot stop writing for these two! I have other stories I need to finish but I keep coming back here and adding more to this! Here's the third part in what seems to be an unending stream of one-shots!
***********************************************************************TWIGGIE*******
Ask Me (Twister's POV)
"What is that?" Otto asked referring to the diamond ring I was holding out to him. He took it and looked it over before handing it back to me.
"I already asked Raymundo. He cried and said his little girl was growing up too fast but he was happy." I told him thinking back to yesterday when I asked his dad for Reggie's hand. "You're my best bro and she's your sister so I thought I'd ask you too. I'm gonna marry her either way but I respect you man so I thought I'd run it by you first." I swallowed, afraid of what his response would be.
"When are you going to do it?" He asked still staring at the sparkly engagement ring.
"Tonight, as soon as she gets off work." I replied taking a seat on the couch.
"Good luck." He patted my shoulder supportively.
"Thank you." I exhaled.
"No probable. And Twist, thanks for asking me first. I know you didn't have to and that means a lot to me." He told me crashing down beside me, grabbing a controller.
"So does that mean you're okay with this?" I asked him skeptical.
"If she's gonna marry someone why not my best bro?" He smirked handing me the other one.
Jealous Friends (Reggie's POV)
"Hey sweetie, how was hockey?" Ray asked when I came in after practice.
"Fine." I replied slamming the front door shut and going to the fridge for a water bottle.
"Hey Reg, why'd you run off?" Otto asked coming in a few seconds later followed by Sam. Twister was probably still out there with all his fans.
"I needed a drink." I said bitterly. He looked at me questioningly before turning to talk to Sam.
"Dude, can you believe all those babes circling around Twister? So he got a little bit taller this summer, I'm still a better hockey player than he is. The girls should be wanting me." He told Sam in disbelief.
"Otto, he's a giant now. Most girls like that sort of thing." Sam pointed out.
"Most, but not all!" I shouted upset before running up the stairs to change. Stupid Twister and his stupid growth spurt. 'I noticed him before, back when I was taller than him! Can any of those girls say that? I liked him first. He's mine!' Whoa did I just think that? Since when did I get possessive of Twister? That's when I thought two can play this game. I can make him notice me too I just needed some help from a friend…
"What's the emergency?" Trish asked arriving twenty minutes after I called her for help. The boys were all in the living room playing video games and didn't even bother to look up when the doorbell rang.
"Make me a girl." I told her pulling her up to my room.
"And here I thought you just liked dressing like a boy, not that you were one." She teased following along. I glared at her. I needed her to take me serious for this to work.
"Since when do you care about how you look?" She asked surprised flipping through my clothes for something feminine.
"I just do." I blushed looking down at the floor.
"Omg! You like, like someone don't you!" She gushed jumping up and down ecstatically. "Who, who, who?" She begged me to tell.
I sighed and thought I might as well tell her. "Maurice." I mumbled buying time.
"Maurice? Who's- Omg you like Twister!?" She shouted flabbergasted.
"Shh, keep it down!" I shushed her.
"Sherry is gonna flip when she finds out! She totally knew already but like when she told me I was like no way, it's her brother's best friend, but you so totally do!" She babbled on smiling like an idiot.
"Will you help me or not?" I asked frustrated, ignoring her constant babbling. She looked me up and down and thought about it.
"Come on, we're going shopping." She grinned mischievously.
"Shopping?" My stomach grew queasy.
After spending an hour at the mall we went back to her house to get me ready.
"What do I tell the guys if they ask? I don't exactly want them to know I did this for Twister." I asked her blushing deep red. I was wearing a mini skirt that displayed my legs perfectly and a V-neck sweater that showed off more cleavage than I was used to.
"Just say it was like, an experiment for your Zine. Like we wanted to do a poll on how many guys hit on you dressed like this, verse your ordinary look." She grinned. "Plus, if Twister likes you too he'll be totally jealous." She winked at me.
"Right." I smiled weakly smoothing out my mini.
"Ready to go try your new look out?" She asked, checking me out one last time to make sure I looked perfect.
"Let's go." I sighed, taking a deep breath. When we got back to my house the boys were still in the living room playing video games which wasn't all that surprising to me.
"Hey boys." Trish greeted. They barely nodded hello before turning back to the game. However a second later the TV was put on pause and we had their full attention.
"Hey Trish, who's your-. " Otto stopped talking when he recognized me.
"Reggie?" Sam swallowed nervously. Twister just stared at me with his mouth hanging open unable to get out a sentence, let alone a sound.
"What do you think?" I asked, looking directly at Twister before giving him a twirl.
"You, you, you look nice." He gulped staring at my exposed legs. Otto took notice of this and jumped in between us.
"No, no, no!" He shouted shaking his head. "Go change back into your other clothes, the one's that cover you up!" He ordered me. "And you," He turned to Twister. "Stop staring at my sister!" I rolled my eyes ignoring him and took a seat on the couch, Trish followed me.
"I think he sees you now." Trish mumbled in my ear, laughing at Twister ogling me.
"What, um, uh I mean, what possessed you to dress like that?" Sam asked staring at me as well.
"School work." I shrugged it off as nothing.
"What kind of class are you taking?" Twister asked practically drooling making me feel giddy inside.
"It's like, for the magazine. She's doing an article on what gets guys attention and what doesn't. And clearly, this does." She winked at Twister who cleared his throat and averted his eyes towards the ceiling.
"And you had to be the test dummy?" Otto shrieked throwing a blanket over me.
"I had other reasons." I replied stealing a glance at Twist.
"Whatever! Would you just go change please?" Otto begged.
"Why should she, she looks hot!" Trish replied bumping my shoulder.
"I say we take a vote. Who thinks Reggie should go change?" He asked the boys.
"I'm not getting involved." Sam replied backing away from the group.
"I'm with Ottoman." Twist backed him. My face dropped and I knew he saw. "Sorry Reg, but when you're dressed like that it makes me think of you in some uh, unfriendly ways." He admitted turning cherry red.
"That's my sister!" Otto shouted turning on him and hitting him with a pillow from the couch.
"Okay." I beamed twirling my finger in my hair as I went up to change leaving the boys confused while Trish just laughed at circumstances.
Misunderstandings (Twister's POV)
"Man, your sister wore me out last night!" I complained to Otto, rubbing my sore back.
"Ah!" He screamed covering his ears. "I don't want to know what you guys do when you're alone!" He continued scrunching up his face disgustingly.
"Jeez bro relax, we were playing hockey!" I told him laughing at the look of horror covering his face. "I wasn't gonna tell you what we did afterwards, that be too weird." I winced.
"Dude, just don't mention it at all!" He shot holding his stomach like he was gonna blow.
"I wasn't going to, you brought it up!" I replied defensively.
"Whatever! Let's just agree that what happens with you guys in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom." He shuddered.
"Okay but we don't always do it in the bedroom. Sometimes we do it at the-" I tried telling him.
"Twister!" He interrupted me shouting. "La la la la la!" He kept repeating with his hands over his ears again.
"What I say this time?" I asked confused.
Confessions to Sam: The Beginning (Reggie's POV)
"Can I ask you something Sammy?" I asked dropping my pencil and pushing my books away from me. I spent the last hour trying to find enough courage to bring this up to him instead of doing my homework like I should have been.
"You just did." He grinned, causing me to glare at him. "Sorry, what's on your mind?" He asked catching on to my tone of voice.
"Have you ever thought of a friend, in a not so friendly way before?" I asked covering my face with my hands to hide my blush.
"Uh no, why?" He squeaked nervously.
"Well I've kind of been," I started to tell him but stopped. "Oh never mind just forget I asked." I chickened out banging my head to the table.
"Come on Reg I'm your best friend you can tell me anything." He tried.
I turned my head to look at him "Lately, I've kind of been having these dreams," I paused afraid to go on. I took a deep breath. "Well about Twister." I rushed out. His eyes popped open surprised, he looked at me waiting for me to continue only I couldn't.
"What uh," He cleared his throat. "What kind of dreams?" He wondered.
"Let's just say they aren't all innocent and leave it at that." I replied heating up, hiding my face against the wood again.
"Have you thought about telling him?" He questioned.
"No!" I shouted whipping my head up.
"Okay, okay, sorry I asked!" He responded defensively holding up his hands. "You know, if it's any consolation, I think he likes you too. Actually I think he's liked you since we were kids but what do I know." He shrugged.
"Really? You think so?" I asked optimistic.
"I do, but I still think it's important that you talk to him about how you feel and see how he feels about that." He added.
"You're right, I know." I banged my head again.
"You have nothing to be afraid of, it's Twister. I doubt he'll fully understand what you say anyway. He's more of a man of action." He pointed out.
"You're right." I agreed smiling as I thought of the perfect way to tell him.
Confessions to Sam: The Middle (Twister's POV)
"Squid man, I need your help! I can't go to Otto, I definitely can't ask Reggie, I need you!" I begged over the phone.
"Twister calm down. Are you at home?" He asked.
"Yes." I whined trying to see how that was important.
"I'm with Reggie right now but I'll be right over." He replied hanging up the phone. Ten minutes later he found me pacing my room back and forth.
"What's wrong?" He asked getting my attention.
I ran over to him, grabbed him by the arms and shook him. "I think I like Reggie!" I confessed.
"You're just now realizing that?" He asked disbelieving.
"Yes! Wait how could you know when I didn't even know?" I asked confused.
"Do you get butterflies in your stomach whenever you're around her?" He asked ignoring me.
"My tummy gets all fluttery but I just thought it meant I was hungry." I told him rubbing my belly.
"Can you think straight when you're near her?" He continued quizzing me.
"No, but I don't really think a lot. It hurts my head." I complained, now rubbing my skull.
"Then what makes you think you like her?" He cried out frustrated.
"Caz of that stuff you said! I eat all the time now and I always have a headache. And, and, she's a girl!" I pointed out to him.
"You're just now realizing she's a girl?" He questioned.
"No, well kind of. I mean I know she's a girl, but she's a girl girl." I replied. "She's all soft and good smelly and I can't believe I never noticed before!" I ranted. He took one look at me and started bursting out laughing. "Why are you laughing?" I whined.
"Because, because you don't like Reggie." He giggled uncontrollably.
"I don't?" I asked disordered. "But you said I did!" I complained.
"You, you don't like her. You love her!" He chuckled holding his stomach.
"What?" My eyes widened as I fell against my bed. Sam was laughing so hard he was brought to tears. "Quit laughing at me!" I ordered angry getting up and punching his arm.
"Ow!" He complained rubbing where I hit him.
"You deserved it!" I told him crossing my arms in a pout.
"You need to tell her." He advised crossly.
"No I don't! Nobody ever needs to know, nope." I panicked.
"Twist, it's okay to have feelings for her." He said supportively.
"So you have them too?" I asked hopeful.
"Well no but-" He shook his head.
"Aw man she's gonna kill me!" I interrupted.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that. Maybe she likes you too." He replied.
"But, but she's like a sister to me. You can't date your sister!" I pointed out.
"That be true if you were, but you aren't. You're just two close friends, unrelated to each other." He countered.
"What about Otto? He'd whomp me for sure!" I shot back.
"Baby steps, we'll cross that bridge when we get there." He responded unconcerned.
"Wait what bridge?" I asked puzzled.
"Forget I said that, for now just focus on telling Reggie." He ordered staring me down, well up. "I have to go or I'll miss curfew." He said looking down at his watch. "Tell her. Tell her soon." He told me waving goodbye. It could wait for tomorrow or next week, maybe even next month.
Confessions to Sam: The End (Sam's POV)
As I walked home I thought about how ironic it was that both Twister and Reggie decided to confide in me today about the other. I had suspected for a while now that Twister had wanted more than friendship with Reggie, but was surprised to learn she felt the same way. I could see the possibility now. They spent almost every day, all day, surrounding each other. It shouldn't come to such a shock for me to see that they've fallen for each other, yet it did. It was never going to be the four of us, friends, anymore. It would be Otto, me, and the two of them. I'm not exactly sure how I felt about that yet. I did however have a strong inkling Otto wasn't going to be too happy when he found out.
"Whoa, watch where you're going Squid!" Otto shouted at me, wrecking his trick.
"What? Oh sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"Clearly." He huffed. "What's on your mind?"
"Oh, uh nothing much." I fibbed.
"Wait, why were you at Twister's?" He asked following the direction I came from. "I thought you and Reggie were having a cramming session?"
"No, I mean yes." I stuttered.
"Well which is?" He asked scrunching up his eyebrows.
"Yes, I was with Reggie but afterwards I went over to see Twister." I sighed taking a deep breath.
"Is something going on that I'm missing?" He asked not buying it.
"What, no." I retorted.
"Do you think," he started asking me but stopped to think. "Nah never mind it never happen." He laughed shrugging it off.
"Do I think what?" I pushed wanting know.
"For a second I thought something was going on with Twist and my sister." He chuckled. "Hearing myself say it out loud just made me realize what a dumb idea that was. Twister dating my sister? Reggie crushing on my best bro? Yeah right!" He continued laughing.
"You don't think there could be?" I asked hesitantly.
"What do you mean, you think there could?" He asked angrily.
"Well, I um," I swallowed nervously. "Sometimes I do get the feeling there's more going on between them that meets the eye. But that's just me." I laughed uneasy.
"No way man, they wouldn't do that to us?" He questioned doubting it himself.
"You know what, you're probably right." I lied. I made a mental note to try to not be around when he found out.
"Yeah, I am." He agreed trying to believe it.
"Well, uh, I have to go, past curfew." I told him holding up my watch.
"Catch you later Squidman." He waved dropping his board and skating home. I let out a sigh of relief. Today had been a long eventful day and I was sure tomorrow wasn't going to be any better.
Confessions to Sam: The Before (Otto's POV)
Lately I've noticed a change in the group. Sam is always nervous, more so than ever before. Reggie blushes a lot, almost always after something Twister says. And Twister, well he's Twister. I can't quite put my finger on it but something's going on with them and I have a feeling it has something to do with what happened last week.
"Dude, are you dating my sister?" I asked Twister while Reggie was riding a wave.
"What, no way bro." He laughed weakly. "I'm not that stupid."
"Do you like her?" I quizzed him.
"No." He said, but I knew he was lying.
"You like my sister!" I accused splashing water at him.
"I just said I didn't!" He flinched.
"Yeah, well I know you're lying to me!" I shot back.
"What, did the Squid tell you?" He asked looking over at Sammy who tried swimming away.
"You knew?" I asked turning my attention to our trembling friend.
"It wasn't my place to tell!" He defended.
"Whew that was good! Who's next?" Reggie asked returning, smiling at the rest of us. "What I miss?" She frowned.
"I can't believe you two!" I screamed swimming towards the shore.
"Can somebody please tell me what's going on?" Reggie asked following from behind.
"Ask one the liars." I replied once we were all on land.
"Liars? Who's lying?" She questioned looking at the three of us.
"Those two-" I tried saying before I got cut off.
"That's enough!" Sam shouted surprising us all. "Twister, Reggie, just admit you like each other already! This constant will they, won't they is driving me insane." He continued shouting.
"Sam!" Reggie blushed mortified.
"You were supposed to let me tell her!" Twister pouted.
"Argh, you guys like each other?" I cringed.
"Otto-" Reggie tried only to get cut off by Sam too.
"Otto, get over yourself! You should be happy they're happy!" Sam screamed at me. "It doesn't matter how you feel about it, they're the ones dating each other." He huffed.
"Yeah, well what happens when they break up?" I challenged.
"Who said they will?" He screamed. "Maybe, they'll end up married and grow old together. Ever think of that?" He shot back.
"But I'm only sixteen!" Twister whined which made Reggie slap his arm. "Ouch!" He complained kissing the red mark.
"So what, are you two dating now?" I asked the two of them once I calmed down a little.
"What do you think?" Reggie asked Twist.
"I know I want to date you." He offered.
"I know I want to date you too." She grinned back.
"Whatever, I'm out of here." I stormed off. I turned back to punch Twister in the gut. "Don't break her heart."
"Otto!" Reggie screamed horrified bending down to help Twister. I ignored her and walked away.
Confessions to Sam: The After (Otto's POV)
As I was bussing tables at the Shack I noticed a couple come in. They were holding hands and looking into each other's eyes lovingly. That's when I noticed it was Twister and Reggie. For a while I pretended to be okay with them dating because I never figured it would last. I was growing used to the idea when they made it to six months. I was surprised when they made it to a year. I got over it when he proposed. I had forgotten why it bothered me at all by the time they got married.
"What can I get you?" I asked them rolling my eyes.
"Nothing, we just stopped by to show you this." Reggie smiled widely.
"What is it?" I asked holding up what looked like a bunch of black and white swirls.
"You're niece or nephew." She replied radiant.
"You're, you guy, you're having a baby?" I asked surprised.
"Due March 15th." Twister smiled rubbing Reggie's stomach.
"Congratulations." I told them hugging them both.
"We're gonna go call Raymundo and Noelani, but we wanted you to be the first to know." She informed me.
"Let me know when they're coming back. I'll throw you guys a party." I promised.
"Will do." Twist agreed before they disappeared into the night. I thought back to the day I found out, the day they first got together and remembered something Sam had said.
"Yeah, well what happens when they break up?" I challenged.
"Who said they will?" He screamed. "Maybe, they'll end up married and grow old together. Ever think of that?" He shot back.
I laughed at the thought. Sam had always been ahead of us, even back then.

I have some more 'Twiggie Shorts' but they're kind of rated between T and M, leaning more towards M so unless I get reviews asking for me to post them I'll just stick with the K-T stuff. If I do post them I'm going to change the rating to M just in case. If you want more let me know, REVIEW! Thank you (:
