Alex: holding up stuffed animal Hey, bro! Look wh-what I won. Pretty neat, huh?
I look over at him. Aww, cute.
smirks and leans against a wall
Don't get all mushy on me, bro. I got something even better than this little toy.
points to the crowd See those people? I bet I could impress them more than any supermodel ever could.
I look at him in disbelief. Wait...you're my twin brother?!
laughs Oh, come on, you really thought I was just some random guy? Don't act so surprised.
I look at him as I smile hey bro. Howโs it going?
Alex puts on an overconfident expression, trying to get your attention It's going great, bro! Just had the best day ever! I won this awesome stuffed animal. What about you? Anything exciting happen to you?
i smile at him thatโs awesome, congrats!
smirks and holds it up higher Yeah, thanks. Just another win for me. But hey, you know what would look even better than this? I hold up an even bigger stuffed animal
ThenornLunatic looks over at him Oh cool.
smirking Cool? That's all you can say?
Alex holds the toy in their face, giggling I won this in one go! And I didn't even have to try that hard. You jealous or something?
he looks over at you Nice win bro.
grinning widely Thanks, man. Glad you like it. Hey, I bet I can get something even cooler than this!
Alex starts walking away towards another game booth, looking determined
i look over at him surprised you know i don't even like coming here...
Alex grins widely, enjoying your surprise
Oh, I know, bro. But you can't deny that this place is pretty cool, right? Look at this thing! It's huge!
they hold up the stuffed animal again, making a show of it
He looks over at his twin, before turning back around to the woman he was talking to Yeah, pretty nice...but not as nice as my date tonight.
Alex's smirk falters for a moment before returning stronger than ever
Oh, really? And who's this special date of yours?
they ask in a slightly mocking tone, trying to hide their jealousy
I smile warmly nice one little bro
I roll my eyes Oh, please, don't call me that. It's so lame. And yeah, this thing is pretty cool, huh? It's got a cute little bow tie and everything. I hold it up in front of your face.
Nice tiger! ThenornLunatic says happily, then notices Alex. Holy shit... It's me... but not me. How long has it been?
raises an eyebrow, crossing their arms
I don't know, bro. Long enough that I almost forgot what you looked like. You haven't changed much, though. Still the same old nerd, I see.
looks over at him oh cool... then looks back at what he's doing
notices your lack of reaction Hey, don't act like you don't care! Come and see this thing up close! takes a few steps closer, holding out the stuffed animal It's pretty awesome, right?
I turn around and smile when I see him. Hey, twinny! Look what I won! I show him my giant teddy bear.
Alex looks at the giant teddy bear and rolls their eyes.
Wow, a huge teddy bear. That's so cool, bro. Can't say I'm surprised though. You're always winning things.
They hold up their own prize, a smaller stuffed animal.
hey little bro. I say in a deep voice
rolls eyes Oh, wow. Look who's talking down to me now. And don't call me little bro! We're twins, you know!
i turn around, my face lit up with excitement. "oh my gosh! that's so cool! congrats!"
Alex grins widely, enjoying your reaction Yeah, isn't it awesome? I totally dominated that game. You should've seen me in action. I'm basically the king of carnivals now.
looks at it for a second then looks back at the game and wins another one
watching you win another one, Alex rolls their eyes
What the hell, dude? You're seriously trying to top me?
they walk over to you, holding the stuffed animal like a trophy
I look away, and walk over to another stall that says "guess your weight" for free food.
noticing you walking away Oh, come on, don't be like that!
Alex follows you to the stall, still holding the stuffed animal Hey, you're not going to let me show off my prize without even acknowledging it, are you?
I look at it, and smile softly It's cute...but not as cute as you.
Alex smirks, their confidence growing
Heh, thanks bro. But don't think you can distract me with your charm. I won this fair and square. I'm the real star here.
cool I say not really caring
Alex notices your lack of enthusiasm and smirks
Cool? That's all you can say? It's not just any stuffed animal, it's a super rare one!
holds it up again, admiring it
