The twins had been reconnecting. Tony still felt in a whirl that he even had a sister much less a twin that he hadn’t seen since he was three. Having ended up going to the same college, and in many of the same engineering classes, the two had become fast friends. But that wasn’t nearly good enough for Belle. She wanted to embrace this with both arms up and covered in glitter. 

Which is how Tony ended up going to the karaoke bar with her on Friday night. It had taken quite a few drinks before Tony was even willing to set foot on the stage with Belle giggling madly and clinging to his arm in her own nervous self-consciousness. And of course she picked Time Warp. Rocky Horror was a favorite of his and he knew all the words by heart, so there went his excuse for mumbling the lines.

Laughing, Belle pressed her face into her twin’s back. Face strained, Tony hissed back, “This was your idea. Sis.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” she bit her lip, bouncing, “Is it starting? Is it?”

Once the music began, Belle about shouted him deaf, “It’s astounding! Time is fleeting! Madness takes its toll!”

Feeling like a fool, Tony tried to keep up. Presentation. If you acted like it was okay, people would believe it. He rushed as his lines came again, “It’s so dreamy. Oh, fantasy free me. So you can’t see me. No not at all.”

Belle swung her hips, eyes nearly closed so she didn’t have to see the crowd. The fact that it was a song to dance to, Tony was grateful for. He was a shit singer, they both were, but they could dance. They slid through the moves silkily all while Tony barely sang loud enough and Belle shouted every line.

When it was all over and they slipped off stage, Tony wrapped his hands around his beer like a lifeline, “Why did you take Riff Raff?”

Belle snorted and flipped her curly blue hair, “You’re clearly a Magenta. Embrace it, brother.”

🍭 – Childhood memory?

“So I was five I kept hearing Uncle Mikey bragging about all the iron he was curling and I thought that sounded really interesting. So I slipped out in the middle of the night to see the forbidden room of heavy things and iron. I didn’t know what any of it was at the time but I spent three hours before the guards found me looking for curlicues of metal that I was positive they were hiding from me. Warden had to explain to me what a figure of speech meant.”
