Jordan smiled. He and Jackson were twins. Talk about awesome. He'd always wondered what it would be like if they were twins. He looked down at the coin and pocketed it for the moment. This could be fun.
"Hey Jordan, I just wanted to ask if I could borrow your swim trunks." Jackson asked.
"Why can't you use yours?"
"Because mine are being washed."
"Okay fine."
"Thanks dude."
Jackson shuffled around and found a pair of blue boardshorts and left the room for a swim. Jordan meanwhile flipped the coin again. Nothing at all happened. He frowned and got the package it had come in and found a small slip. It said simply: Power dies with two uses.
And as he watched the coin dissolved into dust and vanished. "Okay so I'm stuck as a twin for the rest of my life. That's fine I guess. But I wish I had more time to get used to it. We're 14, and we'll be drifting away from each other soon."
He looked through the package and promptly found a small, copper coin. Like a penny. One side had a star, the other side a woman's head. Jordan had no clue what that meant. He clasped the penny in his hand ans spoke his wish. It just seemed the right thing to do. "I wish for me and Jackson to start our life over again as twins and I want all my memories of previous life erased."
Nothing seemed to happen, and then the coin glowed and vanished. The world seemed to rewind in one big wave. He shrank and his hair retreated into his head as babyfat covered his body and he felt his clothes dissolve into a diaper. His mind blanked of everything he'd previously known.
And there he was, laying in a crib in a white room. His twin brother laying at the other end, fast asleep. It was dark out and he closed his eyes slowly and soon dozed off.
The door opened softly and Jordan's mother gazed in. "First night home, don't they look adorable?" she said to her husband.
"Yeah, who knew I'd be the father of twins."
Jordan's grandfather was there also. An old man witha grey beard and grey hair. "Oh I suspected you would be."
As the elder walked off to the guest bedroom, the room that had been Jordan's, he smiled with a twinkle in his eye. "Yes, I knew all along."
