Chapter 2 - Left and Right Brain

 "You see that, Pinky?" The mouse, known as the Brain, turned to his his associate. "Project Split can divide beings into two different ones! If I can get my hands on it, then there'll be two of me; one with my conscious who's intelligent, and the other who is creative."

"So you're planning to drink it?" Pinky put his hands together.

"Exactly," Brain replied as he used his tail to unlock the cage they were in. "I'll be unstoppable when divided!" He opened the door to the cage as him and Pinky walked out.

"But you know what Test Tube said while making it," Pinky shrugged. "It can possibly kill you... with no recovery at all!"

Brain rolled his eyes, then poured the pink liquid from the bottle into a toothpaste cap. "Soon, I'll be two different mice!" He then quickly drank it.

A few seconds went by and nothing happened, until Brain started floating. He closed his eyes, ready for what was to come.

When the light cleared, Pinky saw two mice who looked identical to Brain except for one minor detail; one had yellow eyes and the other had pink.

"Egad Brain!" Pinky walked up to the Brain with pink eyes. "Are you alright?"

"Ugh..." Brain slowly opened his eyes, "D-did it work?" His voice sounded the same.

"I think it did ~narf!" Pinky turned to the yellow-eyed Brain, who was also waking up.

"Pinky," Brain pointed to his other self. "That must be the creative side of me!"

Yellow-eyed Brain locked eyes with pink-eyed Brain. "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" They both said at the same time.

"I think so, Brains," Pinky walked up to them. "But if you drop a soap bar in the shower is it dirty or clean?"

Pink-eyed Brain facepalmed. "No, Pinky! My other self!" He gestured to yellow-eyed Brain.

"You know," Pinky put a hand to his chest. "The readers are getting bored of reading pink-eyed and yellow-eyed so I came up with names for the two of you!" He pointed to pink-eyed Brain. "You're Lefty!" And then pointed to yellow-eyed Brain. "And you're Righty!"

"Naming after the hemispheres..." Lefty dusted his hands off. "... what a good choice."

"I'm a genius at naming stuff!" Pinky crossed his arms.

"Alright, Righty!" Lefty told his other self. "We're gonna need to take over the show before we begin our quest for world domina-" He was caught off by Pinky and Righty's laughter.

Righty was drawing a funny picture of Pinky. "Wow!" Pinky gasped, "That looks just like me!"

Lefty rolled his eyes to the reader and bonked Pinky on the head. "Stop it, you two! We need to focus!"

"World domination?" Righty raised an eyebrow. "That's not really my thing..."

Lefty grabbed him by the chest. "Well, you're gonna help me or I'm drinking the antidote!"

Suddenly, Righty started crying. "If you're gonna control me like that, then I'm leaving!" He climbed down the counter and and ran to the exit of the lab.

Lefty watched Righty with a shocked face. "Oh well," Pinky walked to Lefty. "At least we still got the left Brain!"

"Quick!" Lefty told Pinky. "Fetch him for me before we causes trouble!"

"Oh yay!" Pinky bounced. "I'll fetch him for sure!"

He climbed down the counter as Lefty walked back to the cage. "I hope they return..."
