" Okay, this looks like a mirror maze I used to go to in the town fair, " Dylan said. He looked around and put on a thinking face.

" Where are we? " I asked. That question was running around in my head like it was running a 10 mile marathon in my head.

" Well as you can see, I have no idea whatsoever, " Dylan said, annoyed.

Okay, maybe I should just shut up.

We continued walking before the walls suddenly went black. Without commando, my shocked body jumped and hugged Dylan.

" What just happened? " I asked, stammering.

" Everything went black, " Dylan answered.

" Ah, " I replied, still hugging Dylan's muscular body.

" Euh, Karen, are you gonna keep hugging me? " Dylan asked awkwardly.

" Sorry, " I said quickly, releasing my hands from his body. I started fidgeting with my hands. This is literally the most embarrassing situation I've ever been in.

We stopped in front of a huge mirror. Our reflection melted and it spiralled around. It turned around and around for a few seconds before finally stopping to reveal a picture.

It was a picture of two babies in a bathtub. One blue and one pink. The backdrop was decorated with pastel blue and pink balloons. The pink bathtub was labelled 'K', and the blue one was labelled 'D'.

" Wait, who are the people in this picture? " I blurted out.

It couldn't be Dylan and I right? We aren't related.

" I really don't know, " Dylan replied.

The picture moved a bit and turned into a video. There was a grown man, maybe in his 30s', he was wearing a blue T-shirt matched with his boy pants. A woman standing next to him, she was wearing a pretty pink dress. It was a baby pink dress that matched the bathtub the baby girl was in.

The women and men approached the tub and lifted the babies up. They took the babies to a table where a big banner was hung on the wall. It said, '1st Baby Shower of the Haddow Twins'.

Wait, what?! Who are the Haddow twins? I mean I know one's me, but who's the other?

" Uh, Karen, maybe, just maybe, you know, could the other Haddow, be... me? " Dylan asked.

I was speechless. My vision went blurry. I tried to steady my head. It was getting very dizzy. I took a deep breath and regained my consciousness.

" Maybe... I have a long lost twin? " I asked myself.

" Well maybe, " Dylan replied.

I was sure that both of us wished that Dylan wasn't the other Haddow twin.

We continued heading straight before standing upon another big mirror.

We stared at it as our reflection spiralled again before finally stopping, revealing another picture.

It was a picture of two preschoolers. They were standing in front of their school, holding their backpacks and wearing the cutest, tiniest uniforms.

I squinted my eyes to see where the school was. I caught a glimpse of the school logo. It was a picture of the sun. A light bulb dinged in my head, an idea formed, a bad one though.

" Dylan, did you go to Sunshine Kindergarten when you were a kindergarten? " I asked.

Dylan examined the picture for a while before looking at me.
