Unwanted Twin

by: Terrell James

Summary: It's a little sequel to "Feelings of a Twin Brother," yet another Surf's Up fanfic. Gizmo feels as if no one cares about him, and tries to have everyone to like him. It's very funny and bittersweet.

Chapter 1: Lonesome Thoughts

On a sunny afternoon in Pen Gu Island, Austin "Gizmo" Maverick has been feeling the wind in his face, closed his eyes and imagines the world in a different perspective of his own. For the past few weeks, Gizmo has been feeling a little isolated when he's on his own, even when he needs a little time on his own. He walked around the beach, looking a little moody for a 13-year old. Then, Cody came behind him and thought that he needed a little conversation with him. He said, "Hey, Giz. Feeling okay?"

Gizmo turned around and said, "Do whatever you want. I really don't care anymore."

Cody stared at him, really concerned, but then sat down with him anyway. He sighs and said, "What's bugging you?"

"Nothing, really. I just need some time alone, that's all." said Gizmo.

"Come on. What's on your mind? You can tell me anything." said Cody, softly.

Feeling like he's a little troubled, he sighs heavily and decides to tell him. He said, "Do you think everyone here in Pen Gu likes me?"

Cody stared at Gizmo and asks, "Is that what's been bothering you?"

Gizmo stared at him very vulnerable and nodded his head. Cody sighs and said, "Of course, everyone likes you. They just need some time to get used to you, that's all."

Gizmo sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess."

"Tell you what, maybe if you hang out with them, maybe they'll like you more." said Cody.

"Y-You think so?" asked Gizmo.

"Trust me, they'll adore you."

"I hope so." sighed Gizmo.

Then, he stared at Cody and said, "Thanks, dude. You have always made my day awesome than ever, even when you're having a bad day."

"That's true, because you're my brother." said Cody.

Gizmo stood up and Cody gave him a hug and said, "I promise everyone will like you."
