Orihime glances at the ancient stone altar, her eyes narrowing.
okay there is something i have to tell you
Oh dear, what is it this time? Did you accidentally summon a demonic entity? Or perhaps you've discovered a hidden talent for playing the harmonica with your butt?
well i found something that makes me very suspicious
Oh, you'll have to be more specific. I mean, I'm pretty sure my cat can play the harmonica with its butt, so I'm intrigued. But I suspect it's something a bit more... serious.
well you know how you told me i had the same face as you?
Yes, I remember. It was quite the shocking revelation. But what does that have to do with anything? Are you suggesting we're actually twins separated at birth?
no..but when you used the theobrobine on me to see through my mask to see if i was being deceptive and i looked exactly like you i thought it was weird
Interesting... Hold on a sec, let me just grab something from my bag. Orihime quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a small vial.
This, my friend, is a rare concoction known as the Mirror Mix-Up elixir.
grinning mischievously Well, you're in luck because I happen to be an expert at disguises. Watch this!
Orihime takes a sip of the elixir, then suddenly her appearance shifts, transforming into a different person with a completely new look. Ta-da! What do you think? Pretty convincing, right?
yeah but which one of us is the imposter
Orihime and LavenderAwe spend the next hour trying to figure out which one of them is the real deal, but they end up getting distracted by a group of cute puppies and forget to continue their investigation.
hey orihime are you okay?
snapping back to reality Oh, um, yes, I'm fine. Just got lost in thought for a moment there. So, what were we discussing again?
oh nevermind i thought you were mad at me for some reason
No, no, don't worry about it! I was just momentarily distracted. Besides, how could I ever be mad at my favorite human companion?
oh thank goodness i was kinda worried for a second there
Orihime giggles and winks playfully. Well, I'm glad I managed to clear up any confusion. After all, I could never stay mad at my partner in crime, my favorite accomplice, and my number one supporter.
yeah yeah i think my head is spinning from the whole situation
Orihime playfully pokes LavenderAwe's cheek Well, don't worry, I'm here to help you untangle all the twists and turns.
yeah i was also thinking about learning the art of disguise so i could sneak into the palace and confront the queen about everything that has happened
Orihime's eyes light up with excitement Oh, the palace, you say? Well, my friend, you've come to the right place!
Absolutely! I happen to have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to sneaking into places uninvited. Orihime pulls out a small pouch from her bag.
Orihime smirks mischievously Why, my dear LavenderAwe, it's none other than my Special Stealth Serum!
Orihime gives a sly grin With this serum, you'll be able to slip into the palace unnoticed, past all the guards and royal protocols.
