"Give me that remote control!" Theresa commanded. Thelma sighed in reply.
"Please, can you allow me to just watch this one. Please!" Thelma pleaded.
They were in a hotel room. Actually, they lived far away from their home in Pennsylvania so they decided to stay in a hotel. They came to New York City, the city that never sleep. They were in Belvedere Hotel. The room was wide enough for both of them and it was classy. Theresa had made sure it was of her taste.
"What are you watching?"
"Hmm... Okay! I will tell you. I am watching... Barbie!" Thelma faltered.
"Barbie? At this age? In fact, go... go away. I am so disappointed. Leave that television alone," Theresa taunted.
"Oh, come on! Don't you have any texting or chatting to do?" Thelma suggested, flailing her arms. "You can even take selfies. You look extraordinary pretty but please let me complete this".
Theresa looked at her sister in disgust. "I thought you have watched all the Barbie episode?"
"I have! I'm watching it to refresh my memory. It is so interesting. I love the romance and adventure in it" she giggled. "Come and join me".
"Barbie? I am not a fan of Barbie. Geez!" Theresa picked up a brush and untangled her wavy brown hair with it.
"But Barbie is so fashionable. You will love her".
"That goody two shoes? No way! I don't even like you that much" she teased and chuckled "Weekends can be boring, aren't I right?"
Suddenly, Theresa snapped her head sharply at Thelma. Thelma only watched Barbie whenever she was thinking of her crush. A sly smile crept on Theresa's Gladys lip and she asked, "Are you still thinking of that lost guy, Xander? My sister's lover!"
Thelma looked at Theresa and asked herself if she should tell her that their boss was the Xander. She shook her head and decided to keep it as a secret. There's would be angry if she found out. Alexander was their enemy. She shouldn't have any feelings for him.
"So... Hmm.. You still remember him?" Thelma asked and rubbed her palms together.
"Yeah! I never got to see him. You said he left the school!"
"He did! I can't believe you still remembered"
Theresa laughed and added, "How will I forget him? Don't you remember how I found out? It is unforgettable. At first, dad said we should share a room and that night you had a nightmare and you were screaming Xander all through. We had to wake you up. That's when you personally told me about him. But it is a bummer I couldn't get to meet my sister's lover" A sigh escaped her lip and she pouted. "Do you still wish to see him again?"
"Me? Well....um...Yeah!" Thelma stammered. "I mean, if Fate says we should!"
"I really don't know what love is but I don't want to feel it if it makes you extraordinary stupid!" Theresa waved her hand dismissively and went to the bathroom.
***************************
BRrrrriiiing! The doorbell rang. The twin were at their mini dining room, eating lunch.
"Who is going to answer the door?" Thelma asked. She could guess Theresa would say her name.
"Hmm... Let's play rock, paper, scissors. Dummy! You, of course! Go get it. Pfft!" Theresa yelled and proceeded to eat her food.
Thelma stood up and went to the door. A staff in the hotel greeted and said, "We are having a pool party for every youth in the hotel. Would you like to join?"
"A minute please" Thelma turned and softly shouted Theresa's name.
Theresa appeared at the door. "Why are you calling me?" she snorted
"Wow! You're twin. Ma'am, we are having a youth pool party, would you like to come?"
"Hmm... Okay! I will. Thanks for informing us," Theresa smirked. At last, something fun to do.
Theresa ran to her wardrobe. She quickly searched for her best swim suit.
"I think I might need to go shopping" she announced as she gazed at the clothes folded in place.
Thelma walked in. She shook her head and stared at Theresa. "Just for a pool party?"
"Did you just ask that question? Is this your first time meeting me? Just to go to a nearby store, I need to be fashionably ready. That's your sister for you".
"Well, I will wear one of my simple swim suit"
"No! You are wearing red just as I will be" Theresa insisted.
"I want to play a prank in the party. Maybe confuse some people there. They will be so shocked to see we are alike" a mischievous smirk danced on Theresa's lips.
"Ooh! That will be fun. I'm in" Thelma beamed.
"Let the game begin" Theresa laughed while rubbing her palms together. Her mischievous smirk was still in place.
"Do you have to make this weird?" Thelma teased and thwacked her sister's arm.
"I just wanted to act like a villain! No biggie!"
***************************
Thelma sat at a corner in the party. She didn't want to associate with anyone. That was because she was shy. She wasn't the party kind of girl. During her high school days, she hardly went to party. The party girl was Theresa.
"Hey, beautiful! Don't you want to dance?" a disembodied voice teased. She turned to see a quite handsome man. He had a light brown hair and sharp eyes that bored into hers.
"Hmm... I don't dance"
"Come on, babe!"
From that statement, Thelma knew he would be the one they would played their prank on.
"Give me a minute. I will be back" Thelma replied, trying to stifle her giggles.
Thelma went and informed Theresa about him. Theresa grinned and went to do some mischievous work.
She sat on Thelma's previous seat and drank a juice, waiting for her victim.
"Babe, you're back"
Theresa turned sharply that her neck cricked. "Who is your babe? I hope you aren't talking to me?"
"Wow! You're bold now" the guy smirked.
"Yeah! I'm bold and ready to fight. So, get lost, jerk!" she hissed and smiled evily. Her plan was laid. Now, time for the drama.
The light brown-haired guy frowned and gritted his teeth. His fists clenched when his friends laughed at him. That made him furious.
Theresa left before he could react.
And then, Thelma came to replace her.
"You! How dare you insult me? Do you know who I am?" he yelled.
Thelma had an innocent look. "Calm down!" she said softly "I don't know what you are talking about. I think there is a misunderstanding"
"Misunderstanding? You called me a jerk"
"No, I didn't"
All his friends chorused, "You did"
"I am leaving!" Thelma announced and rose to her feet.
"Where do you think you're going?" the brown hair guy snapped.
Thelma left and Theresa walked in again.
"What happened? You changed your mind?" One of them asked when she sat down.
"Fools! Why would I change my mind?"
"Okay! I am confused!" a different guy shouted. All of a sudden, Theresa heard a click. They had taken a picture of her. Quickly, she snatched it from the person and ran.
Furtively, she tossed it to Thelma. Some guys ran after her thinking she was with the phone and some others ran after Thelma thinking she was the girl they were chasing. After running in circles, the twin appeared in front of them and asked, "Looking for this?" They tossed the phone to one of them and said "Never mess with us".
"Twin?" a blonde young man appeared. His crystal blue eyes gleamed as he made his way to Thelma. He smirked at her and stretched his hand. "Hi, I'm Oscar and you are?"
Thelma shook his hand and replied, "Thelma!" He smiled, still holding her hand. Then, he went to Theresa and stretched his hand.
"Hi, I'm Oscar and you are?"
"None of your business!"
