Each pair stared at their other half overcome by what they had heard.
“Rock, paper, scissors to see who uses their wish to split?” Mark looked at his brother with his hand in a fist.
“No need! I wish me and Mark were split into our own bodies!” Max shouted. The Santa snapped his fingers. Mark and Max could feel they were instantly being pulled out of each other. First their legs, followed by their chest. Once their arms were free they used them to speed up the process. The two finished, standing side by side back in their own separate bodies. Max started jumping in the air, “Awesome! I’m back to just myself!”
Mark started laughing at his twin brother, “Hmm, okay, I’ll wish that the conjoined suit would work properly, without any side effects.” Once again the Santa snapped his fingers.
Now it was Luke and Ethan’s turn. Luke turned away from his dad looking at the Santa, “I wish me and my dad we’re back in our own separate bodies.” Ethan and Luke’s heads began moving away from each other’s. They had a middle leg form in between their two other ones, but it quickly split apart into a left and right. Their chests were pulled apart till their arms popped out, which they then used to push away.
Ethan looked over at Luke and could see disappointment in his face. Ethan thought for a moment, then put his arm around his son, and pulled him close to his side. “This one’s easy. I wish me and my son here could fuse together however, and whenever we want! And that people wouldn’t find it strange.” Luke turned to his father with shock, then at the Santa as he snapped his fingers. Ethan hugged his son and whispered, “There, if you ever want to be stuck together again, all you need to do is ask.”
“Thank you.” Luke whispered hugging Ethan back.
“Well, that’s all of them. If you’ll excuse me I have to go back out there and deal with all those children. I Hope you all got what you wanted.”
Mark, Luke, and Ethan stood with grins on their faces as Max looked into the mirror. “Ha, I’m over here, and Mark is over there. See! See! We aren’t attached anymore! I'm free!!”
“Haha, come on Max, let’s go home.” Mark laughed picking up the bags as the four of them left the bathroom.
