The Huxley twins were two very different people.

Different friends, different personalities, different values, they looked the same, but that was it.

And yet they both had the exact same thoughts running through their heads at the moment:

Why did I do that?

For Felix, it was about pushing Cindy away and giving her incentive to ruin his life, and for Ted, it was about telling Cindy where Felix was in the first place.

They both had their regrets.

Inconspicuous Chat

Felix: I fucked up.

Kid: uh oh, Felix said the fuck word. sound the alarms we got an emergency

Theo: what's goin on

Felix: Ted where are you

Theo: I'm fine. Penny's taking care of me. Where are you?

Felix: In our house.

Felix: Cindy came over.

Theo: oh no

Felix: Fight or flight took over and I fought back against her

Felix: which gives her incentive to destroy my reputation and life.

Felix: Carla, if you're here, keep an eye on Cindy's location and keep me updated so I can stay away from her.

Carla: Got it.

Carla has changed their nickname to Agent C

Lily: She can't possibly do that alone, I'm helping

Lily has changed their nickname to Agent L

Billy has changed their nickname to Agent B

Theo: nice

Theo: I would help but y'know

Theo: broken leg

Felix: I'm coming over. I have to know if you're okay.

Theo: wow you actually give a fuck? that's new

Agent L: Cindy's at her house. You should be able to make it to Penny's without bumping into her

Felix: Good.

And with that, Felix set off.

At least, Ted assumed so. It was weird that Felix cared about him all of a sudden, but he wasn't complaining.

Penny wasn't really doing that much aside from talking to him and making sure Buggs didn't come back. It was mostly just small talk, until

"What happened?"

He looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"

"With Buggs. Why was he so mad?"

Oh yeah. Penny wasn't there for the fight.

"It's a long story."

"I've got time."

He sighed, explaining to her everything about his parents leaving for vacation, and Felix being put in charge, and throwing a party just to spite him, and drinking too much, and falling asleep on Kid, and getting called gay, and fist-fighting Buggs, and almost getting stabbed, and getting called Teddy, and knocking him out.

There was a moment of silence.

"Wow."

"Yep."

There was a knock at the door.

"Be ye friend or foe?" he challenged the noise.

"Shut up, Teddy."

"It's Felix," he told Penny, and she opened the door.

He walked in, looking unusually neat for someone who was just raped by his psycho girlfriend.

He had his straight, combed hair, his blue suit and red tie, and that "I'm very disappointed in you" look on his face.

"What were you thinking?!"

Ted came here to have a good time, and he was honestly feeling so attacked right now. "I wasn't! I just snapped! You did the same thing just yesterday!"

"God, over being called 'Teddy'?!"

"It was a lot of things. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back."

"Jesus Christ," he muttered.

"Did you come here just to yell at me?"

"To be completely honest, I came here to hide out as well."

So he didn't come because he cared. Typical.

Bzzt

It was a message from the Inconspicuous Chat.

Agent B: Cindy's looking for you guys

Felix: I need you to be a bit more specific, Billy.

Agent B: I mean you, Carla, and Penny.

Agent C: Fuck.
