Easter was drawing close, like Christmas, everyone was bolstered for another day of candy. Maggie and Fiona TREASURE Easter but hate eating the chocolate eggs. Every year, their mother would sign them up for an Easter egg hunt tournament, the winner gets to devour the eggs they've attained. Wistfully, every time either Fiona or Maggie wins, so they have to eat the eggs. They despise it so much, that they would rather die than to eat an egg. Everyone appeared to admire the eggs more than ice cream, that was unimaginable to the twins. The adversest part was, all the stores had NO ICE CREAM on easter, just fatiguing old eggs. Because of this, there was bearly ANY ice cream in shops. This was distinguished as the: Ice Cream Shortage.


" I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" Fiona barked, when she arrived home, " EVERY YEAR, US ICE CREAM LOVERS EAT OLD EGGS! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!" She recapitulated, seizing an ice cream cone from the storeroom. " I KNOW, IT'S SOOO UNFAIR! I WISH WE COULD HAVE ICE CREAM HUNTS INSTEAD OF EASTER EGG HUNTS!" Once Maggie stated those words, they had a plan. The twins didn't need to communicate about it, they both apprehended what each other was contemplating. They clutched their phones and commenced to text their brother, who was on a date with a girl titled Julianna.

Hey bro! We need a few things!

*Vanilla ice cream

*Whipped cream

*Strawberries

*Strawberry syrup ASAP- M&F

Can't you see I'm busy! Tell mother to get you the things-D

Oh okay...-F

We'll just tell  Mr Ice Cream Man-M

Yeah, he'll be pretty mad-F

UGGH OKAY! I'll go! GEEZ!-D

That's what I like to hear!- M&F

" Sorry Julie, but I have to go for a while." Said David, stirring back to his girlfriend. " Why Dave! This is the third time this week! Whatever it is, I can help you with!" She demurred. " I know I know. And I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you! I'll take you to Disney World." He said. " Oh alright, you can go!" She gloomily stated. " Thank you! Love you!" He shouted whilst kissing her on the cheek. Then he whisked away to the most proximate store.


Meanwhile, with the twins, they commenced working. Maggie started to make a banner and Fiona started to aggregate plastic bags. " Pass me the yellow crayon!" Maggie would scream, once in a while. " Mom I need fifty bags!" Fiona would roar every hour.

WHERE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE ARE YOU?!-F

YEAH! WE'RE READY!-M

I'm getting the whipped cream. It's hard to get in Hunning More's Store.-D

OKAY! BUT BE BACK HERE AT 8 OR YOU ATE DEAD!-M&F

One oddity about those twins was, they were NEVER patient. When David FINALLY dropped off the components, they inaugurated to produce the final pice of their plan.  Maggie combined all the things unitedly, installing it into the bags that Fiona assembled and Fiona mimicked the banners Maggie made, into the printer. 

HEY BRO! WE NEED A LIFT TO HUNNING MORE'S STORE ASAP-F&M

Why? Where? When? How?-D

Why, because Ice Cream Man Said-M

Where at our house you dummy!-F

When ASAP-M

How, with mother's car OFC!- M&F

Okay, okay, no need to be mean! I'll pick you up around 8:40-D

SEE YA!-D

The thing about having older brothers is, sometimes you can be a little more intelligent than them (same with older sisters). At 8:48, David came to accumulate them. " This is going to end badly." He gurgled. " What was that?" Bid the twins, " oh umm...NOTHING!" He replied, concentrating back on the wheel.
