"Robert Andrew Clayton!", Robin said when she saw me," I told you I didn't want my friend to freak out but you still showed up. You should have seen her face when I told her you're my twin brother. That's all she talked about during lunch". She was putting their used plates away.
"I'm so sorry but,this...",I waved my hand in front of my physique,"...this can't be hidden"
She replied me with a wet napkin on my head, "so,where did you spend your day?", I thought about what happened with Cassie that afternoon," I visited with Craig. Robbie,I want a shrink now, It's getting worse".
She put the knife she was washing down and turned to look at me, "what happened? "
"I stole from little Cassie,I think I'm ready to risk it now. Can you find me a great therapist that could help me stop?",I said with pleading eyes.
Robin left washed her hands and came to give me a hug,"it's okay Rob. We'll fix you"

"Hi,Robin!" , guess who? Miss Perky.
"Gina!, good to see you.", Robin gave perky a hug.
"I'm sorry I didn't call before coming over,I think I left my sun glasses here yesterday", she said and I remembered the aviators I stole subconsciously, I quickly went up to my room and fished it from my pocket. I sped downstairs to put it on one of the book shelves that decorated our home.
Just then,Robin and Gina appear,
"Your brother's home?",she tried to whisper to Robin but I heard anyway, then turning to face me,she said,
"Hi,I was going to stop being a fan but since your sister is my only American friend, I'll stop being mad at you.", she said and smiled at me.
"Oh,okay. I'm sorry about that morning,I was a tad cranky", I said,but I didn't want to be too friendly so I shrugged instead of smiling.
"Ahem!...I think I found your glasses G. When are you travelling back? ",Robbie asked,holding the glasses out to Gina.
"I think tomorrow",
"Tomorrow?,and I thought you'd keep me company", my sister pouted and I was just watching the two ladies with my hands in my pockets, trying hard not to remove the five dollar bill in Gina's pocket.
"Aww,I'll be back before you know it,can't wait to meet Chelsea, Trina and June"
The girls shared one more hug before Gina left the house.

"You ready for tonight?", my sister asked. Tonight is when I take my last performance for the season,tomorrow is the day I go to Africa where nobody knows me to get psychological help. We found one Miss Kat Xavier in South Africa who doesn't have any idea who I am so, we are hoping that very few people know me in that country.
"Ready as I'll ever be".

"So tell me Lisa,
Will you be home tonight?
I'll bring a burning light
You know I really do miss her.
Tell me now, oh please tell me now
Will you be home tonight? "

The crowd went wild one more time and flowers landed at my feet. Another successful performance was completed. Time to get back home and instruct Marie on how to pack my bags.
