Lulu Wang: glances nervously at the compact mirror I-I c-can't believe y-you made me d-do this.
you’ll be great sis don’t worry
sighs Y-You're supposed to be s-suppor-tive, not r-reassuring me! I-I can't c-carry this off, I-I'm too tall and s-stiff.
i know lulu...I'm sorry I whisper before kissing her cheek and running away backstage
Lulu's cheeks flush slightly at the unexpected kiss, but she quickly regains her composure. She straightens her back and takes a deep breath.
Lulu Wang: muttering to herself S-sister's a complete idiot. Who does she think she is?
She checks her reflection in the mirror again, running a hand through her hair.
I pull you close to me and kiss your lips you'll be fine sis
my eyes widen as you suddenly pull me closer and kiss my lips. Lulu Wang: blushing furiously W-what was that for?! We're twins! I pull away, but my heart is beating faster than usual.
sorry sis, but I am going through something right now
sighs and rolls her eyes Oh, spare me the sob story. You know how much I hate being replaced. She adjusts her hair in front of the mirror.
you know you look better than me in these
rolls her eyes O-of course I do. But I'm not sure even I can pull off this ridiculous outfit...
relax sis it'll be fine just have fun
H-have fun? This isn't a f-freaking party! It's a s-serious fashion show. If I mess up, my c-career could be ruined...
looks down shyly "I...I'm sorry, Lu. I didn't mean to get you into trouble."
sighs "I know, I know... It's just... This is my big moment! And now I have to fill in for you... You really screwed me over, y'know."
I fix my tie as I watch from backstage You look beautiful sis. Break a leg.
sighs Thanks. She smoothens her dress and gives you a small smile. I'll try my best. Just...don't embarrass me out there, okay?
don’t worry sis it’ll be fine I’ll watch from backstage
sighs and adjusts her makeup in the mirror F-fine. Just make sure you don't distract me. And d-don't embarrass me in front of the fashion designers.
“Hey sis, no worries.” I walk up behind you holding your dress up as they zip it up. “You look amazing.”
grumbles under her breath "S-sure, you're not b-bothered by this?" She adjusts her hair in front of the mirror, trying to look unfazed but her heart races as she anxiously awaits her turn on the runway.
sis just go out there and own it like I would
she glares at you, still clutching the compact mirror Easier said than done! It's not my fault you flaked out at the last minute!
hey sis...if you need anything just let me know okay?
rolls her eyes I don't need anything from you. Just stay out of my way and let me finish this show. She checks herself in the mirror again, adjusting her hair slightly.
You’ll be fine! Just go out there and own it!
I can't believe I have to rely on your pep talks to get through this. She straightens her hair and adjusts her clothes. You know, if you weren't my twin, I'd hate you for putting me in this position.
sorry sis i got called away for some reason, im sure you'll be fine
sighs F-fine? Y-you think I'm g-going to be f-fine? I-I haven't w-walked on the runway in months! And it's Paris Fashion Week! The biggest event of the year!
hey relax I'm sure you'll be great
sighs I don't want to be g-great! I hate models. I'm a lawyer. Why did you have to go a-and get sick? You're always so irresponsible...
“I didn’t have a choice.” I say as I watch you get ready.
pouts, adjusting her hair in the mirror I k-know, I k-know. It's n-not your f-fault... But I-I still hate it when y-you m-make me do things I d-don't want to do...
relax lulu it's just a catwalk I walk away to go get changed
watches you leave, still looking tense Easier said than done... I can't stand being the center of attention like this. She continues to check her reflection in the mirror, applying a bit more lip gloss before putting it away.
im sorry sis i didnt think they would make you switch last minute...
sighs, checking herself in the mirror I know, it's not your fault. But this is so last-minute! How am I supposed to look perfect when I didn't even have time to do my makeup?
sis I'm sorry it's all my fault i step back
Y-You're the r-reason I h-have to do t-this. If y-you hadn't b-been late, I w-wouldn't have to r-run on the r-runway.
