When Jack pulled his hands out from the closet, he found them clutching a unique shirt and pants. The shirt was a plain red and the pants were a simple deep blue, but that was not what was unusual. What Jack noticed the most was the size of the clothes: they were size XL. He wondered what he would do with clothes like these, and thought for a long time. Then he remembered a popular game that had been seen on several YouTube videos by siblings and friends alike: the Conjoined Twins Challenge.
Jack had no desire whatsoever to try the game with his brother, and for two good reasons: he was too small to fit in the clothes with him, and he KNEW that he would tell their parents about the new wardrobe. Jack wanted to keep this gift a secret--at least, a secret from his family...
One phone call and fifteen minutes later, Jack's friends Teddy and Carter arrived at the door. With the house to themselves, Jack showed them upstairs to his closet, explaining everything as they looked.
"Well, I think that sounds like a LOT of fun," Teddy said to Jack. "Let's get dressed!"
First, Jack fit his legs into the left-hand side of the pants--both legs in the same pants leg. After some difficulty, Jack and Teddy managed to get Teddy's legs into the right-hand pants leg. Their hands dragged the pants up towards the waist, resulting in the appearance of two boys with two torsos, four arms, two legs, and four feet--feet that were easily disguised beneath over-sized socks and shoes from the closet. Then Teddy lifted the shirt above their heads, with Jack helping Teddy fit their two heads into the head hole. After fitting their arms through the holes and pulling the shirt down to the pants, they walked/stumbled to the mirror to see an impressive sight: two arms, two legs with one foot each, one pair of pants, one shirt, but two different heads.
"So freaking cool!" Teddy said.
"Almost like brothers, huh?" Jack asked enthusiastically.
As Jack and Teddy smiled, Carter began listing tasks that the two could attempt in the costume. Plenty of tasks were listed: jumping jacks, push-up, juggling, making food, playing basketball, and so on. When Jack and Teddy began, they were naturally uncoordinated by carrying the weight of another person. But as time went by, they strangely began to accomplish each task in less and less time, as if they had been conjoined twins for their whole lives. The trio began to notice this as Carter and Jack/Teddy walked back into Jack's room, and began to wonder what--if anything--was going on underneath the clothes. Jack reached his left hand for the shirt and Teddy reached with his right. Slowly, the boys began to slowly list the shirt up towards their shoulders...
