Ch. 5

Morning came after a long night. Nando woke up, looking to the side to see his twin still asleep. He smiled as he got out of the bed. Going into the bathroom to wash up. All the while trying to figure out a suitable name for his younger twin. Nothing came to mind though.

As soon as he got done washing up, he got dressed and came back to the bed to see his twin still sleeping soundly.

"Hm…" Nando wondered as his twin woke up. He sat up and stretched. "Good morning," Nando said.

"Huh?" his twin looked to the side to see Nando. "Oh… uh… good morning…" he said sheepishly. "Uh…"

"Would you like to do something today?" Nando asked.

"Uh…" he shrugged.

"Have you been outside at all?"

"No."

"May I show you around, brother?"

"Huh?" he looked at Nando with water in his eyes. "Really? But… but we just… just m-met f-for r-real… h-how…"

"I would like to know you better. I can't ignore the fact that we're twins. We're identical," Nando explained with a smile. "Your music was beautiful when you played."

"T-thank you," a single tear fell from his eye. Nando could tell it was a happy tear. He held out his hand to his twin. His twin looked at him for a while, before taking his hand slowly.

"The kids would like to see you. If you want," Nando told him.

"Yeah," his twin smiled, finally. The two giggled as they walked out of the Pokemon Center. Nando holding his harp and his twin carrying his guitar on his back in a case.

They walked through the town. Nando's twin looked around at the town. "Wow. Beautiful," he awed.

"Yeah," Nando agreed. The kids spotted Nando and ran over to him.

"Hey, Nando. I heard you ran into that fire last night," said a boy, a little frightened. Nando's twin hid behind him when the kids came over.

"Are you alright?" asked one of the girls. "Is the guy who lived in the house alright?"

"I'm alright," Nando smiled. "He's right behind me. He's actually my younger twin."

"Wow. Really?" asked a different girl.

"Yeah. Back then I never knew about him," Nando told them.

"We understand," said the kids. Nando's twin slowly peeked out at the kids from behind Nando. He slowly came all the way out from behind him as the kids waited patiently and quietly.

"Wow," awed a girl. "You two are identical. Cool."

"I can tell the difference though," said one of the boys. "Nando has a cape and hat. He always carries a harp."

"Well, that won't be confusing," giggled the girl.

"Arbrie, how about we all go play?" suggested the boy.

"Yay! That's a great idea, Tray," Arbrie cheered. "Will you join us, Nando and uh…"

"I'm still working on a name for him," Nando whispered to the kids.

"Oh, okay," Tray whispered back.

"Will you both join us, please?" Arbrie asked.

"Sure," Nando smiled.

"Uh… okay," his twin said, a little sheepishly.

"Heheh, come on," giggled a girl as she took Nando's twin by the hand, gently pulling him along.

Nando giggled as he followed the kids towards the forest in the back. He still tried to figure out a name for his younger twin.

The kids taught his twin how to play tag, hide 'n seek, even musical chairs; only they used the stumps and put something on the stump that had been removed from play.

They played tag and Tray was it. He chased his friends around, trying to tag them. Tray spotted Nando's twin and went for him.

Nando watched as his twin smiled in the warm sunlight. Having fun as he ran from Tray.

"Hm?" Nando wondered. "A… trey… o… Atreyo!" The kids and Nando's twin stopped and looked at him.

"Huh?" Tray wondered. Nando looks to his twin, "Atreyo… a name for you."

"Hm… I like it," he blinked a bit. "Thanks brother." He smiled at Nando. Nando chuckled, happy that he figured out a name for his twin. He felt like he's known him his whole life, only from a distance. It was the same with Atreyo.

They played with the kids for that day. It was fun and Atreyo had to get used to having a name now.
