"The one who always stands on the left is Bambi" Shawna confirmed to a small group of people stood around her all wearing black as she sat and un-loosed her cornrows...
"The one on the right is Thandi".

Bambi and Thandi stood beside one another; surprise poses mirrored and clothes identical; creating the perfect illusion of a bikini clad woman admiring her reflection.

Bright lights and flashes fired upon them as numerous individuals manning camera's snapped them.

"That's a wrap!" an unidentified person shouted from somewhere.
The camera crew instantly seized, before moving on.

The two relaxed their stance before mischevously looking towards one another - clearly a wordless exchange.
Thandi and Bambi strolled off the green carpet of the greenscreen and towards an older man in sunglasses who flipped through a booklet...
"Mr Lovvit" they drew out together in a exaggerated sweet tone.

"Yes!" he answered impatiently.

"Can we keep these bikini's?" Bambi asked as they looked doe eyed towards him.

He looked over his glasses towards the twins; looking over their matching innocent expressions only briefly before answering...
"Fine!"
he ushered them away with the flick of his hand as he returned to the booklet in hand.

The two united their pairs of hands in victory and excitement.

Sporting straightened long hair and a striped summer dress, Shawna entered the set and made her way towards the greenscreen.

"Shawn', you got your sexy on" Bambi nodded as she looked her sister up and down.

"You look good sis'" Thandi quietly stated.

"I should hope so, took long enough" Shawna claimed.

"If you put product in your hair it wouldn't take so long" Bambi offered.

"And moisturised" Thandi uttered.

"OK OK" a faux defeated Shawna said as she began to walk past them "Just let me get this over with"

Shawna walked onto the greenscreen, she sat upon a deckchair that had been placed upon the bright carpet.

A bright and quiet morning allowed for plenty of jogging space.

Sweating and breathing heavily, Shawna arrived in a newsagents.
She grabbed a magazine off the shelf and flipped through it.

"Yo lad!" the store keeper yelled.

Shawna settled on a page in the magazine; a centrefold, featuring her twin sisters looking forward with surprised but sultry expressions - they passed for one person copied and mirrored.
Behind them in a corner, Shawna sat on a deckchair looking their way.
The artificial backdrop was that of a beach.

"Do ya mind not..." the shop keeper who had approached yelled from about 5ft away, though he stopped himself.

A startled Shawna jumped in surprise and turned to face him in a snap, having not been aware of the mans presence.

Examining Shawna; taking in her boiler suit, cap and glowing, fresh face, he then spoke...
"You're not, you're not the Cross twins sister are you?"

"Shawna Cross, yeah" she confirmed.

"Oh, I love them, you... You look a little different without your makeup on" he said as he pointed towards her in the magazine the looked her in the face.

"Took a while to glam me up" Shawna started, yet the man clearly wasn't listening - he turned away...

"Wait there, we have to get a photo" he claimed as he rushed behind the counter and through a door, he soon returned with a digital camera...
"This is going straight on the wall" he said as he fumbled about with the camera.

"Oh, OK" Shawna said, just as the man put his arm around her shoulder then snapped the pair of them.

The man bough up their image on the digital camera's screen; he was grinning widely whilst she, of guard, had pulled an unflattering face.

"That's awful" she said as she dropped the open magazine and snatched the camera "I'll get slaughtered for that"

Time had passed.

In that time, Shawna had removed her cap, loosed her hair and lowered the zip of her top.

"See, this is fine!" she exclaimed as she pointed at the device.
In this picture of Shawna and the store keeper, she looked head down and gaze up at the camera, whilst the man looked rather fed up.

"Thank you" he said as he retreated behind the checkout.

Shawna picked up the magazine and headed towards the counter with it...
"Me and my sister..." she stated as she presented their image.
"You can have this issue on me" the man instantly cut in as he leaned on the counter.

"I'm so proud of you three" Ste claimed as he approached the sisters, who were busy stretching by the poolside "especially you" he directed at Shawna "you've gained over 20,000 new followers this morning"

"Really!" the three sister exclaimed together; the twins looking to Shawna.

"Yep, just goes to show biting the bullet is worth it" Ste said.

"You'll have to keep up the new look" Bambi claimed.

"And the events" Thandi offered.

"Yeah, keep this up, and you may just catch up to your sisters" Ste claimed.

Shawna listed to their barrage of statements, before responding...
"Sounds like a lot of hard work"

Dressed up, looking ready for a night on the town, the three sister sat together in a in the back of a car.

"Beauty sleep" Thandi sighed as she adjusted her position then rested her head upon Shawna's shoulder.

"Get some rest Shawn, we're staying 'till at least three in the morning" Bambi said as she also rested her head on her older sisters shoulder.

"Why so long?" Shawna quietly spoke to her sleeping sisters "we have a charity canal swim tomorrow, and a photoshoot in the morning"
