"Morning ma, morning pa." "Bye ma, bye pa " a sweet voice says
"Were are you of to at this hour?" a woman says as she set's wooden bowl filled with porridge on the table.
"Mrs Macker has a delivery this morning and we have to get their early to pack everthing up" the twin says making his way to the door.
"Eat something before you leave" the man says. The twin quickly grabs a the wooden bowl and gulps down the porridge and set's the empty bowl on the table and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he dashes out the door.
Leaving the couple chuckling and shaking their heads at their son's antics. As the twin quickly walks along their farms fense not forgeting to raise his skirt so as to not get it muddy since it rained last night.
While he hurries of to work, let me explain; this is sometime during the mid 19th century (the 1800s) in a world were there three genders: male, female and twin.
A twin is externally a boy but internally a girl basically their boys that can get pregnant. A twin is born with a flower pattern birth mark on their left or right shoulder every twin has a different flower like our mc has a fully bloomed rose pattern and his friend has a beautiful lilies.
There very feminine like are mc whose name is Devon Garmin, he's 5'5", Brown-black hair tied into a ponytail, honey tan skin tone, dark brown almost black eyes, button nose and naturally light pink lips, well proportioned curvy body.
They are required to dress like women and leave their hair long to best identify them since the can't walk around with their shoulders out that would be like walking naked. So basically they live by the olden time rules that were for women.
So back to the story. The twin arrives at the town centre on Mr Abbott's Ox cart he thanks him and quickly jumps off the cart and runs up to Mrs Macker's clothing shop it's the only clothing store in town it's right next to Mr Draft's grocery store and across road there's the clinic and the bank.
Than the sheriff's office and jail it's quite convenient to have a store close to the sheriff's office. Anyway as he get in the store he meets Frankie (mc' s BFF) full name Franklin Lloyd a cute 5'5" twin with sandy blond hair tied in a braided ponytail, blue eyes, small cute nose and small pale pink lips.
He was carrying a roll of cloth and putting it on his seamstress table "Morning Frankie" he says moving towards his table "oh hello Dede, the cloth crate is in the back already" Frankie answers.
"Huh, did you move it in yourself?" Devon asked a bit suspicious "hihi! Ofcourse not, I had Charlie bring it in" he answers with a chuckle.
"We have to finish sawing Lennies wedding dress" Devon says as he searches through a cloth crate."I only need to make sleeves, vale and add in the lace." He shouts while going to the back "did you already layer the skirt of the dress and iron the groom's suit" Devon shouts back
Frankie grouns as he sits down or his table and soon there's sawing, stitching, cutting ect. The morning flys by and the two are in a sawing hypnotic state. The trance is broken when Mrs Macker walks in and start to gossip, their talking and working.
"I just came from the post office" she says the boys humm in agreement "last week the was a job post put up" "what type of job?" Frankie interrupts her " Well it's a job in a manor in the central city, they were looking for twins or girls that are 17 to 21 years old. It's a good job you will get housing, food, 1 silver and 5 copper coins weekly allowance and 10 silver coins monthly wages" she says "Oh that is a good job that's 6 months worth of wages " Frankie says
"Wait what do you mean by 'you'?" Devon asks. "Well I mean you two." She says "what ?!!" The two exclaim " when I saw it i sent in a letter to the address were I wrote about you two, all your collification and they sent back a letter today and you two have been accepted they said they will send a carriage in 5 days to take you to the city" she says
And were both shocked.
