"So, my name in credits is actually Delilah Vargas but on my birth certificate, my first name is Lemon. Also, I am a twin. And finally, at 17, my best friend of 17 years stopped all contact with me because she started dating my cousin." Her facts had been spoken and Shayne had relaxed considerably.
"Well, it has to be Lemon. Maybe her real name is Leanne or something. It can't be Lemon. Can you imagine?" No visual response came from Delilah as she watched the two men sniggering at the first name she had claimed.
"Is that too obvious though?" Noah asked as the pair mocked her and instantly they put the idea down.
"Lemon isn't a first name." Once again, they laughed slightly.
"Can you imagine if her first name is Lemon now?" Courtney asked with raised eyebrows and puckered lips.
"Well, your best friend could have just been a snake and that is something people do. And twins are quite common aren't they? I doubt they can speak that many languages though." Delilah made no move as she watched water drip from their faces. Damien sounding so sure of their decisions.
"But, sometimes Lemon is a real name. Like in Thailand Lemon wouldn't be too strange. I have heard of it before." Shayne admitted as he then leant back and thought on the name. "But, I don't think that Delilah would change her name drastically. Why not go as Lisa or something a little more similar. Lemon and Delilah are nothing alike."
"Maybe her best friend actually dated a brother or a sister." Shayne and Damien turned to one another and looked before they then turned to Delilah who sat before them.
"We don't know you," whispered Shayne as his fingers met and he started making Italian gestures. "I am now Italian." Was then mumbled before Shayne and Damien leant back, unsure of where to go.
"She isn't called Lemon. Final answer." Two fingers lifted and gestured Matt over with Sarah at his side.
"Wrong." The buckets tipped and they were drenched. Both men sat, defeated and wet until they met her eye, regret filling them both as they saw her.
"I am so sorry. We just made fun of your name." Damien was almost pleading for forgiveness as he didn't bother to wipe the moisture from his face and instead watched Delilah.
"So, my name is Lemon. I have my father to thank for that. He went down and registered it without my mum knowing. She was furious and since I was made fun of in school from the age of eight, I have refused to tell anyone my real name and I just went by my middle name. And, I am not a twin. I am actually the only non-twin. I have eight brothers and they are all twins. None of them are named after fruit though. And as for my friend, she went to school with my cousin and she would literally blank me, I would greet her and she would act like I hadn't spoken. Her mum ended up telling my mum what happened." Aw filled their faces as Delilah spoke and she smiled politely as they watched her like a monkey in a zoo.
"Wait, did your parents ever think that maybe they will have like five children at once?" Delilah shook her head.
"No, plus, we were all born in March. 40 weeks after my dad's birthday." They laughed with Delilah as she admitted to her family life.
"And then they just stopped?" Delilah nodded as she sipped at a bottle that had been left for her.
"Well, there is only a year between each set of kids and then dad left us after the youngest two were born. So, mum was left to raise nine of us, we were all five years old and under." Horror struck their faces and Shayne turned his nose a little.
"How can anyone do that? When I look after my niece I am in awe of single parents but nine children, half must have been in nappies." Delilah tilted her head slightly.
"Well, when I get older I want to be like my dad, go for milk and then only return when it suits me, aka, my birthday." They laugh before Matt egged them on once again and the phone is lifted.
"Okay, next round." The words had to be recapped before Delilah met their eyes.
"My middle name is actually, Pineapple on Pizza," joked Shayne and Delilah started laughing, her smile didn't shrink until she focused and reread the words.
"So, I can recite the whole of Yakko's world. As a child, despite passing it every summer, I believed that Stone Henge was in America, and, the reason I am not a twin is because I consumed them in the womb." Delilah forced a straight face but it broke and had to cover her face with her hands.
"Wait, see, if this womb thing had been first I would have picked it but now, I think that it has to be true. Also, she is a genius so would she believe that Stone Henge is in America?" Both men turned to their friends on the side and they shrugged.
"I don't know man. She is a wild card. Like, she could claim to have a tattoo if Godzilla riding Vladimir Putin on her chest and I would be unfazed. Even if it was a sexual riding I would just accept it, man," Keith admitted with his arms crossed and leant back as he watched the scene play out.
"The thing is, Delilah, you are so unemotional that I don't know." Noah let flow from his mouth as he leant forward, his hands resting on his knees as he also watched on.
"Can I ask if you have seen anyone else's bits or just Shayne's?" Delilah smiled softly and shook her head.
"Just Shayne. He actually, from pain and shock, pulled the box up and they were just completely in view until the waxer pulled the box back into place." Shayne cleared his throat and whispered to Damien before puckering his lips.
"You, Delilah, did not consume your twin in the womb." Defeated, her shoulders fell and an entire bucket of water was walked over as she then nodded at them. Water cascaded down Delilah as she coughed to remove water from her throat, a small towel was handed to her and the makeup that she had worn ran slightly.
"Finally. YES!" Shayne and Damien celebrated as they watched water dripping and soaking through the fabric that had been worn.
"Wait, I thought that the lie had to be based on a truth." Delilah nodded and wiped her eyes to be careful.
"It is. But first, Yakko's world was a good song, despite the inaccuracies and I just enjoyed it. I kind of picked it up accidentally. But, Stone Henge. Uh, the first time I remember seeing it was on the news and Barak Obama was visiting it so I automatically assumed that it was in America. A few years later when we went on our yearly trip I finally stayed awake long enough to see it. I was like 12. But, for the twin thing, my brother used to joke that the only reason I am not a twin is because I consumed them and it wasn't until I was older, that my mum found out and told me the truth." Delilah laughed, not daring to look up at the people who sat around her with the revelation.
"Wait, we're on a roll, I feel it. Delilah, go." Shayne threw his hand as if throwing a pokemon ball at her as she then lifted the phone and read directly from it.
"I once had a potato thrown at my head, I have two cats called Purrito and Puddy Tat, and finally, I once worked for Disney." Both men leant back and looked at one another before shrugging their shoulders and shrinking their heads back into their shoulders.
"Right, a potato seems strange but you are British so maybe it, like, flew from Ireland," Damien joked and laughs filled the room before his lips puckered. "Those cat names just suit you so much that it has to be the truth. If not, I will feel sad-" Damien was cut short as Shayne interjected.
"But, even if she did work for Disney, we wouldn't know. You must have been an editor," Delilah nodded as he spoke, "and we had nothing to do with that. Even if we did, unless you were involved with So Random, we would have no chance of meeting you. I personally think that there is a lot of room to manipulate this as well. Maybe she worked for a small, local network. I think that she is involved in animation, look at how well she did her nails, but I don't think it is quite Disney." Shayne left his words and Damien nodded to agree.
"I'll support that." And with those words, Delilah gestured over a bucket and then another as the two were splashed with a cascade of water, drenching them once again. Instantly, cameras were cut and towels handed out as they then left to change their clothes. Delilah was last to return as her makeup was fixed and she wore a black all in one with a silver zip running from the elastic at the waist to the top, they were shorts that sat on the upper half of her thighs and her sleeves sat at the top of her arm.
"Right, we are back, everyone is changed and dry. So, Delilah, what was the lie? And please, explain the truths," Courtney announced from the back as the three others watched each other over the table.
"So, three years ago now, I went over to England and saw my family again. Whilst there my youngest brother randomly shouted for me to catch, when I turned a potato smacked the side of my head and I had to sit down because I got dizzy. And then the cats, I do have two cats and they are gorgeous Maine coons, but the light grey and white one is actually called Kit-Kat. And the black one is called Sushi." Damien's mouth became a complete circle as he heard the names and then he pouted his lips.
"They seem so sweet. And those cats are so fluffy." Damien had stopped himself and clearly tucked his lips between his teeth.
"Wait, what did you do at Disney? Anything we would know?" Delilah ummed and ahhed as she tilted her head.
"One you definitely know is actually the video that I did some of my training with. So, at University I got a placement working for Disney and I was trained using the saggy pants sketch from So Random." Shayne and Damien went wide-eyed before turning to one another and laughing.
"We were in that together."
"Yeah, when I applied to Mythical I found Smosh and knew that I recognised you from somewhere," Delilah admitted as she crossed her arms over.
"So, you edited for Disney Channel?" Delilah shook her head as she ran her hand over her zip and bringing it up slightly.
"No, that was training. After University I got involved in animated movies part-time. I ended up at Warner Brothers as well. Uh, Frozen one and two, Moana, Toy Story 4 and The Incredibles, while working there someone told me I look like Edna with my hair down so I never have it all down. I then went on to Fantastic Beasts, Lego Movie 2 and Paddington 2. I also did a few things here and there for Youtube." Their shocked faces met her and she quietly waited for a response or order.
"What haven't you done?" Delilah laughed slightly before licking her teeth and smacking her lips together.
"I have never celebrated father's day." Shayne let out short, sharp laughs as he heard her response.
