AN: Back from the Freedom Fest, waiting on the fireworks to begin now..I can see them from the ballfield behind my house, thank the gods. The cosplay went over nicely, and I didn't scare too many people. Unfortunately. Dang..I really did want to scare people, because I had a perfect excuse! Most people avoided the group because we had a video camera as well as the fact that we were dressed up in cosplay. The wig I had to wear...gah, it took ten minutes to get it right..one of my friends I was hanging out with after the cosplay was laughing at me. She had to help me with it. Italy's curl is torture.
Then I ran into our Canada, Sweden, China, and Ireland...while still in cosplay. Canada laughed and gave me a hug - awkward - and China grinned, but nobody said anything about it. It was interesting. After that, the kind of snapped into character and we had a bit of...fun scaring people, because while they didn't have their costumes or wigs or anything, they did the 2p personality. It was good. I loved it. Heh...yeah, so..next cosplay - normal, me being England again - is actually tomorrow. I'm exhausted..and they pushed me in the pool while I was in costume, so the little kids around me when I hit the water scrambled due to the knife. Dang, I'm not gonna hurt anyone with it! Not on purpose, anyway...
So, yeah...that's how that went. If you want to know more about the cosplay, then message me and I'll tell ya what ya want to know.
To those who reviewed:
ThatRandomReview: Yeah, I know...I kept my lamp (Christmas lights, actually) on all night because I felt like someone was watching me and it scared the shit out of me.
Spamano4ever: It did. Thankfully it did.
LaniKat84: Exactly! And trust me, you will see them switch personalities. I love doing that with my friends, I did it quite often this past year after I was pulled into that cosplay group. I quite like it.
Enjoy.
It was sometime later that evening, over dinner at a restruant that the topic was brought back up, by Alfred. "So..you two switch personalities? I find that hard to believe."
Lovino shrugged. "It was back before people realized that our curls go different ways and started using that to tell us apart. So, if we do that again, we get to switch sides. Which...god, we don't have the right products to do that right now. I'd have to get in touch with Elizabeta if we did that before we got to go to the store or something.."
Feliciano sighed. "Will you ask her tomorrow?"he asked.
Lovino held up a finger, digging his phone out and dialing a number. He spoke quietly as soon as he got an answer. "Liz! Could you do Feli and me a huge favor?"he asked. "I'll owe you forever."
Antonio could hear the laughter on the other end of the line.
Lovino's eyes brightened and he looked up at Feliciano. "We're planning on doing something soon. Switching personalities to see who outside the group can tell us apart, but our curls go different ways...think you could bring something we can use?"he asked.
When he got the answer, he smiled. "Grazie, Liz. We'll stop by on the way home."he promised.
After he hung up, he looked up. "We have to swing by the restruant on our way home. She's the one who's helping close up tonight."
Gilbert spoke. "Aren't your eyes different colours as well?"
Lovino shrugged. "Not that different. Hard to pick up on. Mine just have a green tint, while Feli's have a honey tint to them. Nobody ever notices unless they know us closely."
Feliciano grinned. "So we're doing this tomorrow?"
"Yep."Lovino said with a smile.
Feliciano's grin turned into a faint smirk, something that seemed out of place on his face. "So, does this mean..?"
Lovino sighed. "Fine. We'll go back to how we dressed in Italy when we last visited. It'll be harder to pick up on who's who that way."
Antonio raised an eyebrow. "How do you guys dress in Italy?"
Feliciano smiled. "Certainly not jeans and tee shirts and converses. We actually do dress up a lot, button ups and slacks and ties and stuff. Meaning that we get to do that tomorrow."he said.
Gilbert grinned. "Just think, you guys share a class this semester. Third period, right?"
Lovino and Feliciano nodded, then grinned.
"Oh, heck yes. This is going to be good."Lovino commented.
As soon as the group pulled up at the restruant, Lovino was out of Antonio's car. He met Elizabeta at the door and gave her a hug. "Grazie, Liz."he said softly as he let go.
Elizabeta rolled her eyes with a laugh and handed Lovino a bag. "Just make sure to stay out of trouble. Both of you."
Lovino nodded. "We will."
Elizabeta nodded and let Lovino leave.
The ride home was silent. As soon as they were inside, though, things got loud again.
Feliciano immediately went to digging around, trying to find the outfits they'd worn last summer.
When he found them, he threw Lovino his and grinned.
Lovino huffed as he caught them. He scowled at the tie he saw. "God, I hate these things. They're weapons of torture."
Antonio shook his head. "Not this time. This time it'll be for entertainment purposes."
Lovino frowned, going back to reading instructions on what Elizabeta had handed him.
The following morning, the group woke up to find the Vargas brothers gone. It took them a moment to get woke up enough to realize the brothers were already up and moving.
Gilbert grumbled. "How can they already be up? This hour is torture enough.."
Matthew rolled his eyes. "Remember? They're switching for the day. This is going to be fun to watch. Because their teachers are going to get so frustrated."
Gilbert snorted. "Yeah, I remember that much."he said. "I also remember that they worry me when they do this. Because they manage it rather well to be so different."
Francis nodded.
Lovino entered the room then, fixing the tie he had been cursing at the previous night. He looked completely different than he normally did. But then, he was always dressed so casually. Feliciano normally dressed a bit nicer. So, it wasn't as much of a shock when he entered the room as well to stand beside his brother.
Toris blinked at them for the longest before grinning. "Now I see why you guys got mistaken for each other before."
Lovino shrugged, but allowed himself to smile at the comment.
It wasn't often they saw him smile, so it still surprised the group.
What was even weirder was seeing Feliciano not smiling, since he hardly ever stopped smiling.
The group knew the act only began when they headed to school, so they were easing into it.
By the time everyone was up and ready, the others were used to seeing the switch. They were still irked by it, but they didn't let it show as much.
In fact, most everyone was quiet until they got to the school. Fortunately, they could pass it off as being tired still.
The group had worked out a plan for this, and they hoped it went through without much trouble.
Noting the fact that Raivis, Matthew, and Alfred seemed a bit worried about the plan, Lovino spoke up. "Relax, guys."he said softly, keeping his voice as much like Feliciano's as he could manage.
Antonio and Ludwig exchanged looks in amusement at how the three jumped when Lovino spoke.
Still. The day had only begun. It was sure to be much more entertaining later on.
Here you go, guys.
