Felicity blinked. In Renesmee's hand was a picture of her dad. She put her half next to the other half. She looked up at Renesmee and smiled. "Nessie…we're sisters. We're siblings."
"Sisters?" Lissie, we're twins."
The hugged each other for the longest time, feeling happy about finding each other. And then they pulled back. "Why would they do this us? Split us, I mean. I mean, I had a sister that I didn't know about. What now?" asked Felicity.
"We'll have to go to dinner, but then we can think of reasons why," said Renesmee, feeling quiet. "Let's go eat, we need something in our stomachs."
Felicity knew she was right, so she followed her twin to the dining hall to find her table where she ate with her sister.
"Did dad ever remarry?"
"No, never, he always said I am the only girl in his life. What about mom?"
"No…do you think that they could still be in love with each other?"
"Maybe." Felicity jolted up and looked at Nessie. "I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea. You want to meet dad, and I'm dying to meet mom. What if we were to just switch places for a bit?"
"Are you nuts? We are two completely different people."
"We have six weeks left to go. It wouldn't be too hard. And look, I can already do you. Look. 'You want to know the real difference between us? I have class and you don't.'" Felicity did a perfect imitation."
"You know, you have a good point. If we switch, then sooner or later, they'll have to un-switch us."
"And when they do, they have to meet again."
"Face-to-face."
"See, I told you I was brilliant."
The next morning, they started lessons. At breakfast, they taught each other the rules of their house, and their cultural customs. They taught about the members of the family, and Renesmee taught Felicity about her elaborate handshake with Mike, as well as enough French for her to get along great.
It came to the point where Felicity needed to cut Renesmee's hair. "It's lucky our hair is near the same length, now you don't have to wait so long to get it grown out." Before she started cutting, she measured it the best she could, before cutting it. She closed her eyes tight.
"Don't close your eyes."
"Sorry, I am a bit nervous."
"You're nervous? A fifteen-year-old is cutting my hair."
Felicity started to trim, getting ready for the end effect, where the hair would look the exact same. It came, and Renesmee was shocked. "This is scary."
"Honey, you never looked better." Felicity looked closer at the mirror. "Oh my God."
"What?"
"I have pierced ears."
"No. Wrong number. Absolutely not."
"Then cutting your hair was a complete waste. I mean, I can't go to camp with pierced ears, and then get home with out them. I mean, get real."
Renesmee whimpered a little bit, before going to sit on her bed. "It's almost dinner. Maybe we should do it after?"
"Yeah. But not later than that. We need you to get used to it, so it's not weird to feel when you go home."
They went to dinner, and no one noticed that part of Renesmee's hair was gone. Not even Justine, who used to be her best friend there. Felicity saw what she was starting at, and she started staring at Heidi and Naomi. They saw her and smiled, and she smiled back. Then she turned to Renesmee for a while when she ate.
"Come on. We need to go and do it now. So it doesn't hurt as much for bed. Come on, hurry."
Renesmee went right after her, and they were soon at the cabin. Renesmee sat on one of the cots, while Felicity got everything ready. She had done this enough to know how to do everything. Once she was ready, she gave a piece of ice and an apple to give to Renesmee. "Put the ice on the ear. When I tell you to move it, I will put the apple slice under, and then put the needle through. Are you ready?"
"No…"
"Relax. I do this all the time with my friends. You have nothing to worry about. Alright…1...2...3!" Renesmee took the ice away and Felicity put the apple under, putting the needle right through her ear. Renesmee let out a scream, which caused Felicity to scream as well.
It was going to be a long night…
