"I've Done Twins", chapter 2
Mike and Leah were playing 'I spy' in Mike's room. They were both drunk and giggling insanely. "I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with Y," Mike said, giggling and hiccupping. Leah spent forever trying to guess what he was spying beginning with Y, eventually, she gave up. "You," Mike laughed hysterically.
"Mike!" Leah protested, "That's not fair, I never would have guessed that!"
"That's the point," Mike laughed. Leah rolled over so she was facing him. They were both on the bed, not touching or anything, and on their backs, until Leah rolled over.
"Mike," she whispered.
"What?"
They looked at each other for a while, their eyes shining in the dark. The only light
they had was from the large full moon, and it made both their eyes shine. Leah went to talk when she felt a tingle in her head. "I've gotta go," Leah said quickly, standing up and leaving to her room. Whenever she got a tingle in her head, she knew something was up with Courtney, she raced into the room. Courtney was standing against the wall, staring into space with her hand against her heart. "What's wrong?" Leah asked, grabbing her hand.
"I think..." Courtney stammered. "I think..."
"What?"
"I think I like Billie Joe," she sounded confused.
"Well...wait! What?" she stared at her sister, in shock, and Courtney looked pretty
shocked herself.
"Weird," Courts said.
"Whatever," sighed Leah. "I'm going to bed now, g'night Courts."
"Night, sis," she replied.
The Next Morning...
Tre was the first one up that morning. He sat up and rubbed his head, and eyes.
"Man," he groaned. "What a night!" Small pieces of the night came together as Tre started making his breakfast. Leah came into the kitchen, holding her forehead and moaning. She put her head on Tre's shoulder.
"What's wrong, Little Leah?" asked Tre.
"Hungover," replied 'Little Leah'. Little Leah was Tre's pet name for Leah. She got
called Lee from Billie and Courtney, Lee Lee from Mike and Little Leah from Tre. To be honest, she hated all nicknames, and she hated her name, but she'd given up on protesting against it.
"Want an aspirin?" Tre asked.
"Nah," Leah answered. "Just a big breakfast, I'm starved." He shoved an apron in her hand and grinned.
"Well in that case, I'll have bacon and eggs, thanks!" Still holding the apron, Leah glared at him and mumbled,
"Inconsiderate little..."
"Whoa..." Billie mumbled, sitting up. He was still groggy from sleep and his vision was blurry for a few moments. Then, the night came together in his mind. All thoughts became clearer. He had a crush on Courtney. "Whoa..." he said again, feeling like an idiot. "Whoa...Whoa!"
He got out of bed, had a shower and got dressed. On the way to the kitchen, Billie
could smell the eggs and bacon being cooked. The house was practically empty.
Tre must be in the shower, Billie thought. And Mike's in bed still, and that's Courtney in the lounge room! He grinned and went into the lounge room.
"Courtney..." Billie started.
"Uh... Billie... I'm..." she stuttered.
"No, let me talk, please. I realised last night...that..."
"Billie, you don't have to tell me, I'm not..."
"Please! Courtney let me finish!" Billie said, trying to stay calm.
"But..." Billie wouldn't let her talk.
"No, I realised, last night, that I like you Courtney, I really...actually...like you... and I was just wondering if you'd be interested in..." she cut him off.
"I'M NOT COURTNEY!" she shouted. "I'M LEAH!"
Billie went white when he noticed the two red streaks in Leah's hair. Tre, who was standing in the door way with a pink towel around his waist and a pink towel wrapped around his head (Arabian style), started pissing himself laughing. Billie
went from white to red. Leah sighed. "You'd think after sixteen years you'd be able to tell the difference between me and Courts!"
This triggered another laughing attack from the 'Pink Arabic' (A.K.A. Tre).
"Oh...my God, Billie! How dumb are you!?" Tre laughed. Billie slumped off into his bedroom and buried his head in his pillow. Mike walked past, looking like a zombie, and saw Billie.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked. Billie told him what had happened, and Mike laughed as hard as Tre did. "You idiot!" Mike eventually said between gasps for air, "You can't tell them apart yet?!"
"No," Billie mumbled, "I didn't look at the hair."
"My God!" Mike said, "That's so funny!"
"No it's not!" Billie protested. "Leah knows how I feel about her twin sister!"
"Yeah," Tre said, coming into the room, still with the pink towels on his head and
body. "And that's the hilarious bit!"
Leah came into his room too, she sat down on Billie's bed and put her hand on his
back. "Billie, it's ok, it happens to us all the time, I won't tell anyone, ok?" Billie nodded.
"I'm sorry, Lee."
"S'ok," she shrugged and smiled, "Are you going to tell Courts?" Tre snorted.
"It would go down better then if you told Leah." Billie glared at him and said,
"I wouldn't be knockin' me, Tre, you're the one dressed up like a freakin' girl!"
Tre gave him a look that said 'So what? I'm proud of it!' and turned around and stuck up his nose.
"If I may quote some Christina Aguleira..." he started.
"Please don't," grunted Leah.
"I am beautiful, in every single way, and words can't bring me down." Mike rolled his eyes.
"Tre, just go get dressed."
"Ok," Tre said, "After that..." he turned and grinned cheekily at Billie. "I'm going to confess my love of Ashley Olsen to Mary-Kate!"
Leah burst out laughing and Mike giggled and tried to cover it with his hand. "That's so not funny, Tre," snapped Billie. Courtney came past and smiled.
"What's going on?" she asked, smiling. Billie couldn't help but sort of smile too.
"Good morning, Courtney," he said.
"Ooh!" Mike teased. "Courts, I think he likes you!"
Leah and Mike both left the room and left Courtney and Billie alone.
"What was all that about?" she laughed.
"Uh..." Billie mumbled. "I...I accidentally told Leah how I felt because I thought it
was you." Courtney chuckled slightly.
"That happens a lot."
"Courts, I like you, ok?" Billie blurted out, "I wasn't too sure until last night, and now, I know it's...y'know...real." Courtney laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah right, Billie Joe, who set you up for this one? Tre? Leah?"
"No one," Billie replied. Courtney stared at him in disbelief.
"Really?" Billie nodded.
Courtney lifted Billie's chin up so he was looking at her. "Why are you so sad then?"
"I'm not," he said, smiling, "I'm fucking embarrassed." She leaned down and kissed his lips.
"Don't be." And she left. Billie stared and looked quickly at the mirror.
"Touchdown Billie!" he told himself.
"Mike!" Leah protested, "That's not fair, I never would have guessed that!"
"That's the point," Mike laughed. Leah rolled over so she was facing him. They were both on the bed, not touching or anything, and on their backs, until Leah rolled over.
"Mike," she whispered.
"What?"
