Evra: What's he doing back again? He's not even in the story and he's done the disclaimer more times than me!
SL: Hey! I've just written a whole fic about you! Isn't that enough?
Evra: The fic was all about ways to annoy me!
SL: Okay, I see your point. You can do the disclaimer next time, okay?
Evra: You better remember T_T
"Xan," Evra said as he approached Xina.
"Oh, I'm not Xan. I'm her twin sister, Xina." Xina replied as she lifted her hand up for Evra to shake. Evra ignored it so she awkwardly brought it back down to her side.
"Seriously, Xan, what's with this twin sister crap?" Evra asked.
"We're not trying to pull a joke on you," Xina assured him. "I am Xan's twin sister."
"Yeah, right…" He said sarcastically. Then he grinned when an idea struck him. "If you're not Xan, then how would you like to go on a date with me?"
Xina smiled. "Sure. How about tomorrow night?"
Daryl crept into her tent. Lying face-down on the floor was Xan, and her pillow was wet. Daryl gently tapped her friend's shoulder. She got a low moan of annoyance in response.
"Xan?" Daryl whispered. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Xan murmured into her pillow.
"Xan, don't lie to me. You're upset about Xina being here," Daryl said. "Why?"
Xan sighed and sat up. "I can't lie to you, Daryl." She said before beginning to tell Daryl the story of her and her twin sister's fight. When she was done, Daryl did something she never would have expected: she brought her into an embrace.
"D-Daryl…" Xan stammered.
"Sorry," Daryl said as she let go of her friend. "I just don't like it when my friends are upset."
Xan felt her cheeks get hot. Was she blushing? She'd never blushed in her entire life! "I-it's okay," She replied. "You made me feel a little better."
Daryl smiled. "I'm glad. But listen, I'm not going to tell you what to do about Xina but I think you should make up with her. She seems to miss you."
Xan thought about that for a moment. "I-I'll think about it."
