There were less than two weeks left until the recording of the new episode of The Revolution, and they were so overwhelmed with work that they simply did not have time to rehearse they did not even have time to choose music. Laurent groaned inwardly, flexing his stiff shoulders. He'd spent the last couple of hours hunched over the big dining table on the first floor in their mom's bagasse. He was buried under paper contracts and email while Larry was in New York. No, his twin wasn't having fun, as their fans might think. He, too, was at work. It is necessary to meet with Beyoncé to humanly agree on the date of rehearsals, meetings before performances, and dates for the start and end of the tour. You need to visit Canada because they have one very big charity project with Quebec. Even though they are paid to participate in it, they still work almost for free, because they are children. This is a huge number of children who may need that very chance not to give up and make their future better. They began to travel less, almost settled in France, but the work became twice, or even three times more ...wonder how it happened? And the consequences of a rather large quarrel still made themselves felt. Somehow, their father got back into the relationship between them. They tried not to let anyone into their circle, the most personal that can be. Their family tried to reconcile the twins, but the twins only snapped at any attempt. There, everything was much deeper and much more serious. This quarrel affected Larry very much, it changed him, as if he had just now opened his eyes and saw that all this time he had been wrong in treating his twin this way. It was as if all this time he had heard the voice of his father in his ears, who always condemned them for being too close, and in the last year he tried to get rid of this annoyingly haunting voice. But they reconciled. It happened suddenly, just like the quarrel. And Larry becomes completely different in public, almost the same as he is alone with Laurent.

Thinking about many things at once, Laurent rubbed his neck and hit his head loudly on the table. Tomorrow the twin arrives, and Laurent promises him to pick up music, maybe even come up with a couple of moves ... but he has nothing but a headache and a table littered with papers.

When his phone showed the time, 2:34 am, Laurent stretched painfully and got up from the table. Time to shower and sleep, in 10 hours he should be at the Charles de Gaulle airport and meeting his overly curious and energetic twin. Already lying in bed in an attempt to fall asleep, Laurent leafed through the saved music, perhaps a miracle will happen, and he will be able to find something. Usually, with their performances, they wanted to say something or tell the audience, but now Laurent wanted something personal. He wanted to express his emotions to Larry, to tell him with his dance what he could not say in words, what he could not explain in words. Suddenly, his finger stopped at one song. He'd only heard it once and kept it because he wasn't sure what he wanted to do with it, so maybe use it now? Laurent plugged in his headphones, cranked up the volume, and turned on the song, completely immersed in his emotions. Perfect... from the first beats, she captured his mind. Damn...is going to be one of those songs that they put on with just their emotions and connection...

They did not reach the dance studio until late in the evening, the next laziness after Larry's arrival. It was almost at night. With them was Sgalo, who decided to stay with the twins in Paris and then fly to Quebec, Playmo, and a couple of their friends. The twins rarely found time to socialize with their friends lately, so they were ready to sit at least all night with them in the studio watching their work.

Larry still hasn't heard the song. Laurent did not specifically say or show what he had chosen. He wanted to see Larry's reaction. He wanted to see understanding and awareness in their inner connection and energy.

And it happened. As soon as Laurent connected the phone to the stereo system, he and Larry stood side by side in the center of the room, Laurent nodded to Sgalo to start the music. Larry stood with his head down and his eyes closed, he wanted the music to pass through him, but when he heard the first beats, he sharply threw up his head, looking in amazement at the twin.

This is what they need. Find forgiveness and acceptance of each other. Talk about ups and downs. And tell them that no matter what, everything will be fine. They looked at each other through the mirror, starting to make movements. Chaotic walking in the dusk, dim the lights on the stage. They will interact, showing that they are still connected, have been connected, and always will be. It is inherent in them and nothing can change. They will always be in sync, they will trust each other on stage and in life. He and Larry approached each other and Larry ran his hand over his face, just on the words "my dear" This gesture was filled with tenderness, love, and care, and then Laurent made a wave with his finger at the same time as Larry makes a wave with his body. Their bond is unbreakable. Then a little solo by Larry, showing that he can be on his own, but still needs a connection with a twin. And here is the most painful part. Their opposition to each other. They quarrel and misunderstand each other. Not accepting each other's independence. Laurent is afraid that Larry will get into something again and hold him back, and Larry closes his mouth, not allowing him to express his own opinion, grabbing stupid and worthless projects, and wasting their time and opportunities. He does not allow Laurent to show his feelings and limits the expression of love for him. But for one short moment, they find understanding between themselves. But it's only a moment, because Larry then pushes him away, rushing forward and doing whatever he wants and how he wants. Left too long alone and out of contact with his brother while Laurent recovers from the damage he has received. Also lonely and abandoned, lost. But wading through pain, resentment, rejection, and loneliness, they again find their way to each other. And at the very end, Laurent lifts Larry off the floor, showing his support, and Larry his complete trust. They will always be like this. They were so wrong the last couple of years, hurting each other, and trying to show their feelings and emotions. They both got hurt. They needed some kind of completion, reconciliation, something more than talking ...

The music ended, and the twins finally looked at their friends, who were sitting along the mirrored wall with their mouths open and barely breathing.

— Are they always like this? Eli finally spoke up, addressing everyone at once.

— This is the first time they danced. Playmo looked proudly at his boys. — They will go over the song a couple more times, and listen to it to the holes, bringing to the idea, of what you just saw.

— You want to say that they danced for the first time now? Marika was more surprised than she thought.

The twins lay on the floor with a jack touching each other's limbs. Larry toyed with Laurent's fingertips, trying to communicate his emotions to the twin. This song is perfect. It's rhythmic, dramatic, and great for them. Laurent did the right thing by not showing her until the very end.

They will be fine. This is good. Is it Ok.
