Remember these two ladies? It's been almost a year since we last saw them. Plus I stumbled upon another picture with the same women/woman so I decided to use it. Thankfully got this up in time for a normal upload, bad storms were also moving in and probably going to knock out power! Crazy times.

"So who's turn is it to go to work today?" The blonde asked sullenly as she munched her bowl of cold cereal in the few short minutes she had before she had to get ready for her long day as a over-worked secretary at the company.
"I don't know. You go. I think I worked the last time." The other blonde, identical to the first, answered in the same sullen tone as she scooped another spoonful of soggy flakes into her mouth. She, too, dreaded the coming work day at the same building, as the same over-worked secretary.
The problem was that both blonde women, who both went by the name of Diana, were essentially the same person in two bodies. What had happened was still a mystery to both of them; almost a year ago they had been two different people that neither could now fully recall. All they knew is that one of them had been a male athlete and the other a female officer worker. The man had been named Dean and the woman had been named Anna...And whatever had fused them had decided to leave them with the names of Diana and the memories of both Dean and Anna in BOTH of their pretty heads. While they had originally fought over who was the 'original' and who was the 'fake', their bodies and minds were so equally mirrored that after a tiring stalement the two had just decided to be sisters. They were, after all, identical down to their very fingerprints, and their bond, strange as it was, could almost be called psychic.The biggest problem was that they only had one ID and both were too scared of what might happen if they tried to create a new life and name for whichever twin was willing to give up their current name. They could have been arrested and packed up in a prison or sent to some kind of lab...or worse. So staying quiet and living this awkward double life was the only choice each Diana felt they had.
And now here they were, almost a year of living this strange new life, and hating every moment of it. Both of them wanted to be unique, but couldn't. Both of them were sick of trading work days and then getting filled in on what happened while the other stayed at home and avoided everything but the TV and maybe a vibrator between their shapely legs, so long as they could stay quiet as to not alert the neighbors in the apartment building. They couldn't even have a boyfriend or girlfriend! And forget getting drunk; if one of the Dianas got shitfaced, the other would wake up with a hangover almost equally as bad as the one that had gotten drunk. That was how powerful their shared bond was. And that was what had happened during the weekend. One of the Dianas had gone out for a social night on the town with some of the other office ladies and had gotten VERY drunk. So much so that the last two days were nothing more than a blur, and neither one of them could remember who had been the last one to go to work. So here they were on a Monday morning, side by side eating soggy, sad cereal and trying to decide which one needed to go to work today. The clock ticked closer to the deadline as they munched silently.
"Hey" The Diana on the left said, suddenly feeling competitive, "How about the last one to finish their bowl goes to work?"
The Diana on the right munched for a moment before nodding, "Sure, but we each start with a new bowl, deal?"
The Diana on the left grinned and reached for the box of cereal, pouring an avalanche of the crunchy flakes into each of the women's bowls before the one on the right added more milk.
"Okay, in three...two...one...GO" They counted down together, both blondes diving into their respective bowls and scarfing the breakfast down in a VERY un-ladylike and messy fashion as crumbs and milks sprayed and spilled everywhere.
Despite all that had changed, and all that had stayed the same, neither could get rid of what was rapidly becoming not just a twinned rivalry, but a sibling rivalry. Maybe one day they'd figure out a solution to their problem, but not today.
