Janette was on the couch reading her favorite book, or at least trying to. Her boyfriend, Jay and his brother, Ray were fighting about something sports related, she had forgotten specifically what. She had tried to calm them down, but it didn't last long. Finally, out of options and tired of the fighting, she got up and got a giant white shirt with "Our Get-Along Shirt" written on the front. She shouts to get the twins attention.

Janette: *at the top of her lungs* SHUT IT!

The boys stop and look at her in surprise, Janette never yells like that. She holds up the shirt.

Janette: Sorry for yelling, guys. I really hate to do this, but I've exhausted all my options.

Jay: Aw, not the shirt, Jan.

Ray: We hate that shirt.

Janette: I know, but I'm out of options.

The twins are reluctant to put it on. Janette has to pull out her secret weapon, something the twins can never resist, Jay was especially weak to it.

Janette: Ok, I didn't want to have to resort to this, but you two seem to want to do this the hard way. *She looks down for a moment, then lifts her head back up with her eyes filled with tears and her bottom lip trembling*

Jay: Dang it, Janette... You know I can't resist that face.

Ray: Oh, no... Not the Pouty Bat Face.

The boys put the shirt on and Janette perks up instantly.

Janette: Ok, you guys know the deal by now. You have to wear that shirt until you make up.

Both twins: *clearly not happy* We know...

Janette: *tenderly kissing Jays' cheek* I'm sorry, boys, but it's for your own good.

Jay: *smiling slightly at her* We know, Janette.

Ray: You don't pull the Get-Along Shirt out unless you have to.

The boys go through the day slowly, but surely, making up. They realize that they didn't even remember what they were fighting about. By dinner, they're back to themselves. Janette helps them get the shirt off.

Janette: See? It works every time.

Jay: *giving her a hug and a kiss* Yeah, I guess it does.

Ray: I don't even remember what we were fighting about.

Jay: *rubbing the back of his neck* Yeah, seems kinda silly now.

After they eat, they settle on the couch to watch movies. Janette is cuddling with Jay, his arms are around her.
