Dylan's POV:

Dallas and I sit in his car in front of the Curtis' house. He's wearing my polo, khakis, and his hair is combed neatly to the side. I'm wearing his jeans, t shirt, and leather jacket. My hair's all messy and it's driving me crazy. I'm wearing some contact lenses and Dallas is holding some fake glasses that look just like mine. He puts them on and smiles mischeivioesly. "How do I look?"

"like me." I nod. "What about me? how do I look?"

"great!"

"Lets do this!" I step out of the door.

"just for the record, Dyls, I don't care."

"well I care. So let's go, uh, man!" I tried to sound tough on 'man', but that didnt happen.

I knock on the front door. Dallas pushes me away just as the door swings open.

"hey guys!" Says Ponyboy.

"Hey, dude!" I say. Dallas looks at me with a look that said 'too much.'

we sit down beside eachother on the couch.

"Hey Dal, wanna beer?" Asks Two Bit, handing me a bottle.

"no thanks-" Dallas elbows me in the gut. Hard. "okay." I grab the bottle.

"Alrighty then........"

Dallas looks at me like 'well?'

"oh." I open the bottle and pour it in my mouth. Ew. It's bitter and tastes like liquid cockroaches. I spit it out on the floor. Crap. Everyone looks at me, completely quiet except for the tv. "Ummm..... There was a, um, a...... Bug?......there was a bug in there." My eyes dart around.

"oooooookaaaayyy" says Ponyboy, who's sitting at the table doing his homework.

"shut up!" I force myself to say, immediately feeling bad.

Dallas facepalms big time.

"what's wrong, Da - er - Dyls?" I ask.

"excuse me," he stands up, "I need to speak with my brother" he pulls me by the arm to what I'm assuming is one of the Curtis boys' bedrooms.

"what do you need? I nailed that!" I say proudly.

"yeah, real smooth." Says Dallas sarcastically.

"hey! We haven't done this for a while!"

"just let me do the talking. Unless someone asks a question that only you would know, then you can answer subtly."

"wow. You're a lot smarter than people give you credit for!" I say.

"shut up!" He pushes me back out into the living room.

"hey guys!" I say, receiving another elbow to the gut.

I pushed his shoulder with my fist, only pushing me away from him.

"so who's older?" asks Steve.

"what do you mean?" Asks Dallas. "We're twins. We were born at the same time."

"actually," I say, "Dylan's older by three minutes and twenty five seconds. Ow!" Dallas elbowed me again.

"Yup. I'm older." he says. Then he puts his hand on my shoulder and says through clenched teeth, "and my little brother's gotta keep his mouth shut."

"And I'm the one who needs to watch it?" I whisper in Dallas' ear.

He pushes me away.

"What's going on with you two?" Asks Ponyboy.

"Nothing!" Dallas and I both say in unison.

"cool! You guys have twin telepathy!" Laughs Two Bit.

"we do NOT have twin telepathy!" Dallas and I say in unison again.

"stop it!" We say again, turning towards eachother.

"hey!"

"cut it!"

"shut up!"

"you're annoying!"

"nu-uh!"

"you're weird!"

"Why thank you."

"stop!"

"I'm serious!"

we cross our arms and huff.

"no twin telepathy, my ass!" Two Bit is cracking up now.

"SHUT YOUR TRAP MATTHEWS!" We say in unison again.

"ugh!" We go to different areas in the room.

"well that escalated quickly." Says Soda, taking a swig of pop.

"Could we please change the subject?" we say again.

"oh come on!" We throw our arms up in the air annoyed.

"This is really really funny. I wish we had a camera." Says Ponyboy.

"cut it, kid." Dallas and I say.

"maybe I should stop talking."

"no I'm gonna stop talking!"

"no me!"

"no me"

"no me!"

we we both shut our mouths.

then, Johnny comes in.

"Johnnycake! Guess what!" Two Bit springs up off the floor.

"what?" Johnny asks.

"Dallas and Dylan have twin telepathy!"

Johnny looks at us.

"we do not!" We say.

Johnny chuckles a bit. "Yeah. Sure." He says sarcastically.

"I have an idea!" Says Ponyboy. "What's your favorite color?"

"green." We both say on a count of three.

"real helpful, Ponyboy." We say sarcastically.

"Okay....." Says Pinyboy. "Have you ever kissed a girl."

"yes." Says Dallas. "Rude" I say, receiving yet another elbow.

"hey it worked. Who......... Wait." We said in unison.

okay. I'm mad now.

"See ya. I've had enough for one day." We say as we walk towards the door.

once we were in the car, we looked at eachother.

"so ya think it worked?" We say in unison yet again.

we narrow our eyes at eachother, annoyed.

"I think so. Should we go back and check?" We say.

"Whatevs." We say, getting out of the car and going back to the Curtis' house.

Dallas swings open the door.

"hey guys," he says. I smile. Yes!

"Look who's back!" Says Darry.

Dallas takes off the glasses and hands them to me.

"wait whaaaa............?" Soda cocks his head to the side.

Dallas chuckles. "Yup. The ol' switch a roo!"

"woah." Says Ponyboy.

Dallas turns to me.

"Yeah. It worked." we say in unison.

"RATS!"

Everyone else cracks up.

Dallas gives them the evil eye as we walk out.
