Chapter 2: Meeting Lin's Twin and Being Introduced

It was a day since Hiroshi met Lin. The school bus dropped Ai and Hiroshi off. Hiroshi went over to Lin's house and knocked on the door. A girl, looking and dressed identical to Lin except wearing Chinese pigtails, answered the door.

"Konnichiwa, Lin-chan," greeted Hiroshi.

"Oh, I'm not Lin," giggled the girl. "I'm her identical twin sister, Liang."

"Oh, sorry," Hiroshi apologized. "I thought you were Lin."

"That's okay," said Liang. "Are you Hiroshi? Lin told me all about you."

"Yes, I am," said Hiroshi.

"I see," Liang said. "Lin also told me about some guys called Rocko, Heffer and Filburt."

"Those are the guys I made friends with yesterday," explained Hiroshi. "You can be introduced to them if you want. Can you get Lin?"

"Okay," said Liang. "Jie Jie, Hiroshi's at the door." (Note: Jie Jie is Chinese for older sister. This indicates that Lin's the older twin while Liang's the youngest)

Lin arrived.

"Ni Hao, Hiroshi," greeted Lin. "I'm ready to go."

"I'll go too," reminded Liang. "I'll go ask our parents."

Liang went inside. Later, she came back out.

"They said yes," answered Liang.

"Okay, let's go," said Hiroshi.

Hiroshi, Lin and Liang saw Ai and Zukin coming outside.

"Onee-chan!" called Hiroshi.

"Otouto, have you made new friends?" asked Ai.

"Yes, these are identical twins, Lin and Liang," replied Hiroshi. "Lin and Liang, these are my older sisters, Ai and Zukin."

"Ooooooh! Hi there!" cheered Zukin.

"Are you coming?" asked Hiroshi.

"Yes we are," replied Ai.

Ai, Zukin and Hiroshi start walking to Rocko's house with Lin and Liang.

Later, they arrived. Ai knocked on the door. Rocko answered it.

"Hello, guys," greeted Rocko.

"Hi, Lin and her identical twin sister Liang have been brought," said Hiroshi.

"Lin's a twin?" wondered Rocko.

"Hiroshi's right," answered Lin, as she, Liang and the rest of everyone came in. "Just so you don't get confused, I'm the one with bun hairstyle and Liang's the one with Chinese pigtails."

"I see," said Rocko.

There's a knock at the door. Rocko answers it. It was Heffer and Filburt.

"Hi, Rocko!" greeted Heffer and Filburt.

"Hi, guys," Rocko greeted back. "Hiroshi has brought Lin and her sister Liang along."

"Where are they?" asked Filburt.

"They're over here," replied Rocko.

Heffer and Filburt walked in. They saw Lin and Liang.

"Hi, I'm Lin and that's my sister Liang," said Lin.

"Are you twins?" asked Heffer.

"Yes, why?" Lin questioned.

"You two dress the same," explained Heffer.

"I know," Lin said. "We're identical twins. I do kung fu. I've been learning it for a year and I go to kung fu lessons every Wednesday. Also, I'm mostly nice but if I get startled, I sometimes go crazy and sometimes use violence, but eventually, I calm down and apologize. Watch."

Lin signals Liang to tap her shoulder, which she does.

"Aaah! Who's there?!" Lin gasped with sarcasm, ready to use her kung fu moves.

"It's me, Liang," Liang explained, also sarcastically.

Lin pretended to calmed down.

"I'm so sorry, Mei Mei," apologized Lin. (Note: Mei Mei is Chinese for younger sister)

Heffer and Filburt let out a few giggles at Lin and Liang's act.

"I'm like Lin, except I don't do kung fu, I don't go crazy at occasional times and I'm sometimes a bit clumsy," Liang told.

"Oooooh!" giggled Heffer and Filburt.

"Also, one time when me and my family were still living in China, we heard a scream from far away from someone I don't know," said Liang. "Me and Lin were a bit worried when it happened."

"I think we know who it is," jeered Filburt.

Heffer and Filburt pointed to Rocko.

"It was actually me," said Rocko, blushing with embarrassment. "I lost a brooch Heffer bought for me."

Flashback to "Rocko's Modern Admirer"

Rocko arrives at Filburt and Dr. Hutchinson's house. He knocks on their door. Filburt and Hutch answer it.

"Hi, Rocko," greeted Filburt.

"Hi, Filburt. Hi, Hutch," greeted Rocko.

"Hi, Rocko!" squeaked Hutch.

"Guess what?" called Rocko.

"What?" asked Filburt.

"Heffer bought me a brooch!" answered Rocko.

"Wow!" cried Hutch. "That's good!"

"Where is it?" asked Filburt.

"It's right here, on my shirt," answered Rocko, pointing to where his brooch used to be. Filburt and Dr. Hutchinson are confused.

"Um, Rocko. Your brooch isn't on your shirt," said Filburt.

"What do you mean Filburt?" asked Rocko. Then suddenly, Rocko realises his brooch is missing. Rocko lets out a horrified gasp.

"My brooch!" cried Rocko. "Where's it gone?! It was on my shirt, but now…IT'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNEEEEEEEEEE!!"

Rocko's scream was so loud that it was heard all around the world. In Beijing, China, a panda family is distracted by the scream.

"What was that, honey?" asked the mother panda with a Chinese accent.

"I don't know," replied the father panda with the same accent as his wife's. "It must be some sort of distraction."

End of flashback

"Luckily, I found his brooch and wondered who it belonged to until I saw him crying near his doorstep," explained Ai.

"It was very helpful of you, Ai," Rocko smiled.

"Arigato," giggled Ai.

"So, shall we hang out for a while?" asked Liang.

"Okay," said Rocko.

And they did.

Second chapter down! The next chapter's going to be kind of sad because Hiroshi and Lin are going to talk about their deceased pets.
