"Leeanna, Emma wake up," Mrs. Parkerson called from the doorway to their room.

"Why?" Emma muttered, rolling to face the wall. Leeanna sat up and gave Mrs. Parkerson a weird look. Her look turned to her sister. Emma gave Mrs. Parkerson a weird look. They must have telepathically communicated.

"We're going to the Mayes'?" asked Emma.

"Yes, they invited us to spend the day at their place," Mrs. Parkerson explained.

"Oh," Emma replied. She had a mixed expression on her face.

"Yeah, so get dressed," Mrs. Parkerson told them.

"Fine," Emma seemed to remember her anger towards her mother as she shuts the door.

"So, we're going to see Rhea and Colton," Emma turns to her sister.

Apparently, Leeanna responded.

"What are you going to wear?" Emma asks. Leeanna gives a shrug in reply.

"Ooh I know! Why don't we do that thing where we confuse people into which one of us is which?" Emma suggests.

Either way people still can't tell us apart, Leeanna thinks to Emma.

"So, it'll be fun," Emma replies. "I can straighten my hair and take off my glasses."

You can't see without your glasses, Leeanna tells her.

"Well, I can see a little without them. I'm not wearing them now," Emma pointed out.

Alright, let's go all identical, Leeanna broke into a small smile.

"Yay!" Emma squealed, "I know exactly what to wear." She reaches into the closet and pulls out two matching long-sleeved sweater-dresses. They were grey with big darker grey hearts in the middle.

"Let's wear these. We can wear our pink leggings and grey Uggs with them," Emma grins. This was one of the matching outfits their mom picked out for them.

Leeanna shook her head. She went into the closet and pulled out two sleeveless beige sweater-dresses. They had a black collar, a black belt around the waist, and looked great with black combat boots.

Emma frowned at this idea. But, she had to admit that Leeanna had a good fashion sense. Though, Emma wasn't really one for fashion. She dressed for comfort, but Leeanna's pick looked cute.

"Yeah, we can wear that," Emma threw her outfit picks to the side and Leeanna compulsively picked them up.

They both get dressed in the chic outfits. It was warm outside, so Emma's pick wouldn't have worked anyway.

"Can you help me straighten my hair?" Emma asks her sister. Leeanna does, so it look exactly like her own.

"Now how can anyone tell us apart!" Emma cries.

Easily, if they know our personalities, Leeanna replies.

"What if I don't talk?" Emma asks.

Still, you're the emotional one, Leeanna says. Emma pouts.

They proceed down the stairs and are met by their mother.

"Hello Emma" - Their mother looks at Emma - "and Leeanna" she looks at Leeanna.

"How did you know which of us is which?" Emma wanted to know.

"I gave birth to you, I should know," Mrs. Parkerson responds smiling. She receives dark looks from her daughters in return.

"Let's just eat and go," Emma says walking to the table. They eat fruit loops for breakfast and head to the Mayes' house.
