Dear Isaac,
                     I received your last letter and completely agree with you, there should be a learning facility for males in the subject of literature as well, because you share my interest and passion for the subject, unfortunately as you have pointed there's no co-ed college less than 6 hours away even those doesn't quite meet your budget.

                    I have thought about this all of last night and I have come to a solution for you. I have informed you before that I have some connections and I can arrange for the closest college to become co-ed if you just complete this one dare I give you. I know your fetish for dares and that you never say know.

                  If your sister joins this school for two weeks then you can go in her place and act as your sister, appearance can be handled by your friend Payton, you have mentioned her before, I'm sure she'll help. Whereas your voice and feelings can be controlled by some pills for estrogen. I can arrange for your sister to 'disappear' for that amount of time, once she's back she can join any college she wants, you have mentioned her love for art and that she had the acceptance letter from the college she wanted.

                    This is my great plan and I dare you to go through with it. I am doing this only for you because you are my oldest friend, also my dearest till an extent, I only wish for your happiness. Once again, my identity will be revealed very soon all you have to do is wait for the right time for right now, I am now very sure of my feelings for you.

                                                                                                                                                                                        Yours faithfully,                                  

                                                                                                                                                                                        Love,

                                                                                                                                                                                        Forever Daniel.

Isaac's heart had been up till his throat all throughout the time he read the letter, he finally accepted his feelings for him, he was completely ecstatic. He let out the long breath he had been holding when he read the last part.

After reading it thrice more the words finally sunk in. He must accept the dare he has given. He must prove to him that he really does trust him too much. He didn't even think how could Daniel make a college co-ed suddenly and just how far did his connections go? No, these things were the last thing on his mind.

Just then his sister barges into his room, he calmly places the letter on the table and turns to face his eager twin. She knew about the letters and didn't judge him if he liked guys, but she didn't know what exactly they write about.

"I just got a call from that one artist I was telling you about, he said I could go with him to New York for two weeks to his new exhibition. He had only one ticket for a friend and he chose me! Later I will stay at his place and look around the campus of my new college. He is also a trustees there. Isn't that so cool? My life is finally settling down the way I want it." She says all in one breath jumping up and down on his bed, how she did that? He couldn't ever imagine.

She looked more like a kid than someone who just passed highschool.

He gave a huge smile and said that he was very happy for her and explained the dare given to him and how he had to act like her. She immediately dialled Payton's number and she promised to come over in 5.

______________

When Payton came over, she and Alice started talking about the situation at hand. Making Isaac more girly.

"Why exactly does he want to be like a girl?"

"So he can attend St. Micheal's all girls college for literature."

"Why would he want to go there?"

"Because h-"

"I want to go there for two weeks and that's it. Will you help me or not?" Isaac cut her off, for some reason he felt the need to protect his secret about Daniel and his letters. He didn't want anyone else to know about them, Alice came to know because they live in the same house.

Alice just gave him a sly smirk and continued to talk to Payton about how many changes he will have to go through. Isaac just fell back on his bed and tuned out their conversation, he will do anything and everything to complete this dare, even picking his eyebrows and shaving weird places of his body.

He had not even realised when sleep came over him, he did stay up most of the night thinking of what Daniel might reply.

When he woke up his room was empty, his bed was wet, there was a glass of warm water with his fingers in it and his face felt stiff. He tried to wipe off the dried off drool but his blackened hand came to his line of sight and confused him.

He groggily walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see his entire face full of tribal markings, weird and sloppy ones, his pants were wet from the middle of his legs........realisation dawned on him. Those two girls had pranked him, got his fingers in warm water and he peed his own bed and then painted his face.

A very angry Isaac started warming his water for his bath. He can strangle them both for this later. He always loved bathing and keeping his hygiene, he bathed at least twice a day and he cleans his own room and closet himself once a week in an organised way. While Ali on the other hand had always been the messy unorganised one.

He silently walked down the stairs once he was dressed up, to not aware anyone in the house of his presence. His footsteps were similar to an ant's as he entered the kitchen. Ali was sitting on the counter, having a pear reading Vogue, her back was turned to the door so she did not notice him entering.

She flipped a page when he snuck his head over her shoulder and whispered in her ear,"You'll pay for that little prank, little one."

She screamed so loud, their neighbour Mrs. Bingle dropped the cat food she was serving to her pet. He had already put on some ear plugs because he knew this would happen.

Ali's dark eyes widened as she stared at her brother leaning against the counter holding his stomach, laughing at her shock stricken face. Once her breathing came to normal she realised that he was still laughing, she snapped her magazine shut and rolled it up into a roll.

She raced him out of the kitchen beating him with the rolled up magazine while he continued laughing. He ran out of the house to the porch swing, they both rounded it like prey and predator. She had narrowed her eyes watching his every move, he had a huge grin on his face, crinkles appearing at the sides of his eyes, but even he followed each movement of hers.

He noticed a figure walking down the driveway and bolted for her. He caught their mother's shoulders using her as a shield. She saw the two of them and instantly knew what had happened. She placed the groceries on the ground beside them and put her hands on her hips.

Ali had a smirk on her face while as Isaac had an innocent look on his face.

"What did you do this time Isaac?" She asks sternly.

"Well, she started it....." He then proceeded to tell her the whole story, keeping the whole college ordeal for later.

To their surprise their mom started laughing and started picking up the groceries again.

"Oh why do I always miss the fun stuff? Anyways I think Isaac should still get back at Ali so she has to wash his mattress now, that'll settle the score. Next time take a video for me. You guys are such a source of entertainment, and then you say that I don't watch enough TV." She chuckles at their expressions and walk back into the house.

Mrs. Bingle smiles at them, she eavesdropped on the whole scene. She smiled remembering her old days with her own brother, how they thought they'll never grow up, yet here she was and he left her. She let's out a sad sigh and continues watering her garden.

"Is it just me or do we have the best mother?" Asks Isaac standing next to Ali.

"All I can say is she's different." She says sulking back to the house.

"You're just saying that cause you have to wash my mattress while I sleep on your bed."

"Hey mom never said anything about you sleeping on my bed."

"Well, then you should get started so you can get it done before night." He says with a smirk, plopping down on the couch switching on the television.

Ali gives him one last hard stare before understanding his words and racing back to his room. She was not going to be gentle with the makeover tomorrow now.
