Color - My new best Friend.

Who is my best friend? Well, for many years I wondered that. I always looked for that trusted person, that right hand to whom you can trust your life.

I grew up in a very loving family, in a town far away from the big city. I got used to making friends easily thanks to having two brothers and two sisters, of whom I am the oldest. I don't know if it was my personality or because my family's genes are known for being very good, but in my years at school I was always surrounded by both female and male friends, which made me quite famous and popular in a such a small town.

My problem was that no matter how many years passed. I could not find a lasting and intimate friendship. I always felt that people were approaching me for convenience, to stand out or to get something out of me. Sadly, most of the time I was right.

One night I was in my room with the door closed. Relaxing while using my cell phone to check my social networks. Little by little, I felt my body raise in temperature. At first, I thought I was getting horny. I started to move my hand to my groin but stopped immediately. There was no humidity or sexual thoughts in my mind. I looked at my phone and there was nothing there that could cause that effect on me either.

I sat on the bed; feeling a bit missed and touching my chest with concern, not understanding what was happening to me. My body immediately started to creak, my muscles tensed and my skin stood on end. I fell onto the bed, arching my back and twisting my arms.

My sides began to swell and in a couple of seconds two new arms extended from my ribs, forming two completely new arms of the same size of my original ones. They fell to the sides of my body inert. My eyes widened in surprise “Seriously… am I mutating? Like those girls from Port Solei? But I live so far from there...? This makes no sens… aghh! ” The sensation moved to my hips which began to expand violently, though surprisingly painless. My hips spread my legs quickly, growing a third leg that completely formed between my original legs as fast as my extra arms.

I could not believe it, in a matter of seconds I had mutated in such an extreme way that I could hardly assimilate it. I tried to get up, but not only did my new limbs not respond, but my originals right leg and arm didn't either. "What is happening to my body...?!" I said crawling back a little on the bed with my only functional arm and leg.

Seconds later, I felt a spasm in the limbs I could not move and the sensation of heat reached my neck and shoulders. Evidently, my mutation was not over. I closed my eyes already resigned to the situation and waited, feeling my neck repositioned further to the left. Something was growing to my right and continued like this until I heard my own voice. "H-hi?" I opened my eyes in surprise and slowly turned to my right, almost hitting my face against my... another me? "Hello..." I replied with some doubt without knowing what to say.

I felt my right hand moving on its own and stroking the hair of my new head, which was looking at me with the same confusion of my own expression. “I think I'm as confused as you… have… have we mutated? My memories are a mess…,” she asked.

"Yes... you just grew out of my body just now..." I said pointing to her with my lower left hand that before did not move at all but right now for some reason seemed to respond normally.

The new head looked down somewhat concerned "Ah, so... I am the copy of your head… but I have all your memories... this feels super weird"

Thousands of thoughts crossed my mind at that moment. What am I supposed to say? What should I do? The expression on her face seemed to grow sadder and sadder as her mind tried to understand the fact that she was a copy of me. I sighed and tried to calm her down even though my nerves were overcoming me.

"Relax, you are not a copy of me... you are my sister" I said with a good smile. She looked at me and after a couple of seconds thinking about it she smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for the intrusion...,” she said pointing to our body. We both looked down and our mouths opened in surprise "Oh no!! My pajamas!" We both said in unison seeing our pajamas destroyed by the mutation. We immediately look at each other and laugh.

For several weeks, we had to practice intensively to use our body in a proper and coordinated way. Our extra limbs responded well, but coordination between the two required more training. Although without a doubt, the hardest thing was for our parents, who were slow to understand that they now had one more daughter in the family.

Obviously, thanks to my fame, in a single day the whole town learned of my mutation. After all… I am, or rather we are, the only mutants in many towns around.

As the months went by, my relationship with my new sister became better and I felt like nobody understands me better than her. After all, I realized that I had found the person I was searching. My best friend, my right hand literally speaking, is no more and no less than my new twin sister.
