It was another typical day in Coolsville, and the Teen Angels were at school. They were in their seventh period of the day; science class. However, Brenda wasn't focusing so much on her work or what the teacher was lecturing them about.
"Brenda, what's going on?" Dee Dee whispered to her. "You look more down than when Daphne found out thatsilky scarves were out of style."
Brenda simply sighed and didn't reply.
When class ended, Brenda and Dee Dee went to their lockers to get their things and go home. Dee Dee noticed that Brenda still looked gloomy.
"Say Brenda, are you okay? Wanna go to my place and have dinner?" She asked her.
"Uh...I don't know." Brenda replied.
"Gee Brenda, you've been pretty gloomy all day." Dee Dee said as the two walked home. "What has gotten you all down in the mouth?"
"I don't wanna talk about it, Dee Dee." Brenda sighed.
"Come on B, you know can tell me." Dee Dee said as she put her hand on Brenda's shoulder.
"Well, my sister is coming to town." Brenda confessed.
"You have a sister? What's so bad about that?" Dee Dee asked, confused.
Brenda turned to her and said, "Let's just say that there's a reason she's at boarding school."
"Why? Did she do something bad?" Dee Dee asked as they got to Brenda's house. "Cause if she did, she'd have to military school. Not boarding school."
"Boarding school, military school, what's the difference?" Brenda asked. "Besides the military training aspect of the latter, why would someone send their children to boarding school unless they can't behave well in a normal school?"
"So, Becca's a bad girl? Is that what you're saying?" Dee Dee asked, confused.
"In a sense, she is!" Brenda said frustratingly as she unlocked the door.
"What happened?" Dee Dee asked.
"What do you mean what happened?" Brenda groaned.
"I mean, what happened that led to Becca being sent to boarding school?" Dee Dee corrected her best friend.
"Let's just say we never really have seen each other eye-to-eye!" Brenda growled as she opened the door.
Without another word, she then stormed into the house and Dee Dee stood at the doorway, confused. When Brenda walked inside, her mother came right up to hug her.
"Becca! My sweet little angel! Welcome home!" Laurel said as she hugged Brenda, but then saw that it was Brenda instead. "Oh, it's just you Brenda."
"Nice to see you too, mommy!" Brenda sarcastically said.
"Sorry." Laurel giggled as Dee Dee walked in. "You girls just look so alike that it's quite hard to tell you both apart. Oh, and welcome, Diana."
"Hi, Mrs. Chance." Dee Dee smiled.
"You're just in time too, Brenda's sister should be here with her father from the airport real soon." Laurel smiled back.
"I can't wait to meet her." Dee Dee said. "What's she like?"
"Well..." Laurel said. "She looks just like Brenda, but she can be a bit difficult."
"How difficult could she be?" Dee Dee asked.
"You don't know her like I do!" Brenda said bitterly.
"Now that's quite enough Brenda!" Laurel waved her finger at Brenda. "Now go upstairs and get dressed for when Becca and your father arrive, and don't come down until they do!"
"Whatever! Come on, Dee Dee!" Brenda angrily said as she grabbed Dee Dee's hand and stormed upstairs.
Dee Dee didn't say a word until they were inside Brenda's bedroom.
"Sheez." Dee Dee remarked. "Seems like your sister have done something that ticked you off greatly."
"Don't mention it." Brenda grumbled as she glared at her.
"Okay, fine." Dee Dee raised her hands in surrender. "Anyways, how are things coming along with Prince Otto?"
"Well, he said that he is trying to figure out about who the missing heir to the throne might be, so he's secretly doing some research with his sister in the palace library." Brenda explained.
"Gee, sounds like he's really busy." Dee Dee said. "Do you plan on telling your sister about him?"
"As if!" Brenda placed her hands on her hips. "She'll just ruin everything, just like she always has!"
"Right, then." Dee Dee raised her hands again. "I'm not gonna say anything."
"Better not." Brenda huffed.
Eventually, Brenda was almost done getting dressed when the doorbell rang.
"Brenda!" her mother called out. "Come on down! You're sister's here!"
"Coming!" Brenda called back, though Dee Dee can tell that she was forcing those words out of her mouth.
They went downstairs to find Brenda's mother hugging and kissing a girl who looked just like Brenda, but with a bowl haircut and a schoolgirl uniform. It was Brenda's twin sister, Becca.
"Hello baby sister." She smirked at Brenda.
Brenda glared at her sister. "Hello...Becca."
"You certainly haven't changed." Becca said as she walked to Brenda.
"Neither have you!" Brenda retorted.
"Come on girls, you haven't seen each other in a long time! Give each other a big kiss!" said Laurel.
Both sisters groaned. They both closed their eyes, puckers their lips, leaned in close to each other, shared a quick kiss, and then quickly gagged as soon as it ended.
"Aw, how cute..." Dee Dee chuckled.
Both sisters thought otherwise.
"Ugh." They both thought as they rubbed their mouths.
"So sis, who is your friend over there?" Becca asked as she rubbed the lip gloss mark off her lips. "I didn't think you'd actually be able to find any friends who wanted to be around you outside of school."
"Her name's Dee Dee." Brenda said. "She was quite eager to know more about you."
"It's nice to meet you Becca." Dee Dee said as she shook Becca's hand. "I can't believe Brenda never told me about you."
"Can't say that I'm surprised." Becca smirked.
"What makes you say that?" Dee Dee asked Becca.
"Because Brenda is jealous of me being smarter, prettier, and better than her at everything, as I always have." Becca placed her hands on her hips. "But mostly, prettier."
"You're just me with a different hairstyle." Brenda deadpanned.
"Anyways, it's almost time for supper, everyone." Laurel said as she noted the time on the clock.
"Brenda, go show Becca up to the guest bedroom." Mel told Brenda.
"Yes daddy." Brenda sighed. "Come on, sis."
Brenda, Becca, and Dee Dee headed upstairs to the guest bedroom to unpack.
"So Brenda, what have you been up to, besides still not being as pretty and awesome as myself?" Becca asked smugly. "Surely you must be up to something since y'all moved here and all."
"Oh, the usual." Brenda replied nonchalantly. "Other than the fact that I've made new friends besides Dee Dee at school."
"Well that's impressive." said Becca. "Who are they? I'd really like to meet them!"
"Why? So you can show off and make me look stupid?" Brenda retorted.
"No. I'm just willing to see who would be desperate enough to hang out with you." Becca retorted back.
"Desperate, huh?" Brenda snorted. "I can't say I'm surprised you'd say this."
"Geez, you two must really have something going on, huh?" Dee Dee placed a hand on her hip.
"Girls, dinner!" Laurel called from downstairs.
"I'll beat you downstairs!" Becca smirked.
"Not if I beat you first!" Brenda retorted.
The two sisters raced each other downstairs to the dinner table, where their folks were waiting for them.
Watching their two daughters racing down the stairs, Mel sighed and shook his head. The girls made it to their seats at the same time, but continued to argue about who got there first. Dee Dee then joined them at the table and they started to eat.
"Well girls, I hope you're super glad to see each other." Laurel said as Brenda and Becca ate competitively.
"Yeah! We are super glad!" Brenda said sarcastically.
"That's good! Because we have some big news..." said Laurel. "Since we moved here to Coolsville, your father and I have decided to have Becca move back here with us!"
Brenda spit out a mouthful of water. "WHAT?!"
"Yes." Laurel nodded. "You girls are sisters and you certainly should know how to behave well and respect each other by now."
"Oh...this is gonna be a lot of fun." Becca rolled her eyes, equally upset by the prospect.
"Something tells me that things are getting a bit more interesting." Dee Dee turned to the fourth wall.
Author's Note:
Looks like Brenda's got a little competition in the Teen Angels with her big sis. Hopefully, this will not get out of hand in any way possible! Stay tuned.
