"Ugh, why does this always happen to me?" I groaned, still feeling the panic from my chaotic dream.

As I woke up, I glanced around, my heart still pounding from the intensity of the dream.

"Oh, it's just a dream," I muttered, trying to shake off the unease.

"Morning, twin sister," Justin greeted, sounding a bit unsure.

"Hey, twin brother, you look like you've seen a ghost. Everything alright?" I joked.

"I-I-I have to tell you something," Justin stuttered, his voice trembling.

"Sure thing, come on over," I said, motioning for him to sit beside me.

He grasped my hand tightly, his expression a mix of fear and uncertainty. 

"Okay, calm down and spill it," I encouraged, trying to maintain a light mood.

"I had a dream last night," Justin began tentatively, as if unsure of how I would react.

"Wow, a dream? That's new," I replied sarcastically.

"No, seriously! Listen, it was weird," Justin insisted, sounding urgent.

"Alright, let's hear it. But just so you know, I've had my fair share of weird dreams," I joked, trying to lighten the mood.

He talked about his dream of a misty forest, a glowing stone, and a tornado, his voice shaking with doubt as he spoke.

"Hmm, sounds like quite the adventure," I remarked, trying to sound interested.

"But wait, there's more. Since I woke up, things have been... repeating," Justin added, sounding uncertain.

"Repeating? Like in a bad sitcom?" I teased.

"No, seriously, it's like deja vu or something," Justin insisted, looking worried.

"Alright, calm down, buddy. Let's not jump to any conclusions," I said, trying to reassure him.

Before we could talk further, a strange green light filled the room, and suddenly, everything started over again. I watched in disbelief as the morning replayed itself, making me go nuts.

As the green light vanished from the room and the morning replayed itself, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was like deja vu, but on a whole other level.

"Oh, fantastic. Another round of getting my head smashed," I muttered sarcastically.

Justin's eyes widened in disbelief as we found ourselves trapped in this loop once more. 

"This... this isn't possible," he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.

And it happened again.

"Oh, absolutely delightful," I replied, my tone draining with sarcasm. "I always dreamed of reliving the same morning over and over again."

"Well, this is just peachy," he said, exhausted and pissed.

"We need to figure out what's causing this," I said, my voice sounded frustrated.

"But how? And what if we're stuck like this forever?", Justin nodded.

"We'll have to find a way out, Justin," I said, trying to sound confident even though I'm forcing myself to stay calm.

"Right, because who wouldn't want to start their day stuck in a loop," Justin added.

"Well, at least we can say we're living the dream, right?", I chuckled despite the situation, grateful for his humor.
