Ty ran down the stairs into the kitchen, walking right by Dustin, who
was in the recliner, watching TV. Then Ty grabbed the garbage bag,
which was filled up, and went to take it out through the back door.
Moments later, Ty came down the stairs again, but he went out through
the front door. He was doing his chores, and Dustin glanced out the
window and noticed that Ty was turning on the sprinkler so he could
water the front lawn.
Barely a minute had gone by, and Ty walked back through the kitchen
door and ran up the stairs to the room. Suddenly it dawned on him,
that Ty was watering the front lawn, so how could he be upstairs in
his room? He then figured he must have missed Ty coming back in
through the front door.
Suddenly the front door opened, and Ty walked in, wiping his wet feet
on the mat by the entrance. He closed the door and ran up the stairs.
But Dustin got confused, and began to get the feeling that something
wasn’t right. He got up and he quietly walked up the stairs.
Ty stood in his room, when another Ty walked in. “Did you see the look
on his face?” Both Ty’s chuckled, as they managed to confuse their
foster brother. “Wow, this is great! It’s like looking in the mirror!”
one of them said. “Yeah, Dustin thinks I’m you!” the other Ty
responded. Then they both laughed together, with the same voice and
the same laugh!
Then the bedroom door swung open, and Dustin jumped in the room,
shouting “AHHAH!” out loud! Both Ty’s were shocked, as they looked at
him. “AAAARGGH!!!” Dustin shouted, when he realized he was seeing
double!!
“Oh no… Ty… There are TWO of you?” Dustin said, as he began to turn
pale as a ghost!
“Wait a minute!” he then shouted, “One of you is Peter!”
Both Ty’s looked at each other, and then pointed their finger at the
other Ty. “That’s Peter!” they both said, and then they pointed at
themselves, saying “I am Ty!”
Dustin didn't like the the joke they were playing on him. He could
have easily found out who was who using his power, but another
interesting idea popped into his head. "Fine if you two want to play
games, then here is one for you."
The Tys suddenly slammed into each other shoulder to shoulder. "Oww"
they both yelled in unison. Then, their clothes tore off as their
shoulders, arms, and legs began to melt into the others. Both Tys were
in panic, but there was nothing they could do to stop it. They each
tried pulling away, but that only succeeded in causing them pain down
their now shared chest. The process finally finished, and what was
left were both Tys' heads attached to the same shoulders.
Dustin was looking at his handy work with a broad smile on his face,
"There you two go. I figured that since you both want to be Ty, you
wouldn't mind having to share a little. Can't have the two of you
walking around like you were; neighbors might notice something."
The real Ty, on the left side, desperatly tried to undo what Dustin
did, but it wasn't working. No matter how hard he concentrated,
nothing happend.
"Oh, and the real Ty" Dustin looked directly at the real Ty, "There is
no use trying to undo it. I made it so that you can't undo it unless
two people with the power concentrate. So you two are stuck like that
until Peter gets his power back."
