Me: I'm updating!
Drew: I'm well aware.
Me: And it's just us here!
Drew: …Why?
Me: Because you're in hospital! And… I thought we could get to talk one-on-one! Me and May do it all the time!
Drew: …OK…
Me: So, I don't own Pokemon. If I did, Harley would have mysteriously disappeared with his Cacturne and Cookies…
Drew: …Chapter… ummm… what chapter are we on?
Me: I do that all the time. I think we're on 16?
Drew: That will do.
Chapter 16 (we think)
Twin Telepathy
"Do you think… I look OK in this?" Laurie asked uncertainly.
Laurietta sighed.
"Yes. You look OK. Just like you did in the purple T-shirt, the yellow sun dress and the orange halter top. You look amazing in absolutely anything. Clothes don't make a difference to you. Now pick something and let's go!" Laurietta demanded.
Laurie laughed. She knew Laurietta hated shopping with her, just as she knew she didn't like the dress she was wearing and how she knew there was a reason she wanted to get out of the shop.
"…What's wrong baby sis?" she asked.
"I just-"
"Oh…"
"Yeah…"
"You big softie! Come here!"
Laurie wrapped her arms around the slightly younger girl. Laurietta cried softly onto her sister's shoulder.
"Drew will be OK," Laurie said.
"She said there might be complications. I've been thinking about this for 2 weeks! What if Drew doesn't get better? What if the medication gives him brain damage or something?"
"Like Drew is going to let something like that keep him down!"
"Mr. Kingly, please get back in to bed," Nurse Gloom said.
Drew shook his head and slowly made his way towards the door. The pain of merely moving brought tears to his eyes, but Drew refused to lie in bed and do nothing. He wanted to go home.
"If I thought you were ready to move, I would have given you a course of physiotherapy. You're going to hurt yourself!"
"I don't care. As long as I'm out of here and with my family," he said. The phone rang and Nurse Gloom sighed.
"That's probably one of the twins now. What should I say Mr Kingly? Sorry, he's not here right now because he seems bent on deteriorating what little health he has left?" she asked.
Drew sighed.
"I don't think I like you," he said.
"And shockingly I'm OK with that. So are you going to answer that or am I?"
"I'm not a happy Buneary," Laurie pouted.
"Why?" Laurietta asked.
"I can't find my aqua sequined halter top with the navy blue ribbon ties! The one that looks great with the baby blue skinny jeans I bought when I bought the chocolate cowboy boots!"
"…We're talking about clothes right?"
"Yeah."
"I think I saw it in the Bathroom."
"Cool!"
Laurie was about to leave the room, when Laurietta grabbed her.
"What are you doing?" Laurie asked.
Laurietta held her sister closer.
"I know. You miss him as well."
Laurie nodded, her face no longer lit with her signature smile.
"Can we-"
"Sure! I'll bring the cookies!"
A small smile spread on Drew's face.
"I thought I could smell cookies," he said.
Laurietta jumped on him. Drew winced.
"OK… you want me dead," he said.
"We want you home yelling at us because we're leaving our clothes everywhere," Laurie said.
"I'm sorry. We?" Laurietta smirked.
"Fine me," Laurie pouted.
Drew chuckled.
"I hope you two aren't like this when I… guys we need to talk."
Laurie gasped.
"Oh my gosh, he's dumping us!"
"He's found younger twins!"
"I bet its Kyla and Brooke!"
"Oh! I see how it is! We don't fit in those frilly dresses anymore, so you move on!"
"Lolly… I'm serious."
Laurietta gasped.
"He called me Lolly... What's wrong?"
Drew sighed and sat up.
"…You're 11 now…"
Laurie sat on her bed stroking her egg. Every so often, it would move and Laurie couldn't help but giggle. Laurietta lay on the floor. Suddenly she growled and stood up.
"I can't believe you're even considering this!" she snapped.
"I'm not!"
"Don't lie to me! I'm not stupid! I know you are… how could we?"
Laurie hugged her egg close.
"What's wrong with having a dream?"
"I know… I want to go too. But what about the others? We can't leave them! And Drew… if we went, then he couldn't!"
"Laurietta…"
"I'm fine! I just… I just… I…"
She erupted into tears. Laurie held her.
"Maybe we shouldn't have gone to see him. You… you're not supposed to cry. That's my job and I can't stand by and let you take it. You're the strong one! So… s-stop it right now! I'm the big sister and you have to listen to me!"
Laurietta looked up, he eyes puffy and red. She suddenly… erupted into giggles.
"Please… don't ever try that 'big sister' thing again," she laughed.
She wiped tears from her eyes.
"Now… I've cried all day… so that means I'm won't be able to cry for a few years now."
Me: This… was a quick update and I know it was short and vague, but it was an update.
Drew: Why?
Me: So people would know how you're doing.
Drew: And?
Me: To bring in a plot twist.
Drew: And?
Me: …Because if I don't now, I'll forget about this fic.
Drew: There we go. I suppose I'd better ask for some reviews. Why is this your most popular story?
Me: … I have no clue… REVIEW!!
