"Come on girls, keep up!" The woman speaking was rather tall, and quite well dressed for the occassion. Morgan Armstrong was a very to-the-point type of woman in everything she ever did. Even now, leading her daugthers through the city crowds to their unknown destinations, they had to practically run to keep up. Ocassionally they would hold hands, when the crowd was thick.
For the most part, the teenagers looked like their mother. As they aged, they'd be somewhat tall, but at fifteen both stood at five-foot three. Anna, the 'eldest' twin, was rather lanky, though toned enough from running cross country in school. Her mother had fixed up her hair today (to look nice for the meeting), and her ebony tresses fell in a waterfall effect all the way to her waist. The new layers looked nice and neat, and her hazel green eyes admired it in every reflective surface she came across. Emma, the younger, was Anna's exact carbon copy. Straight down to the low necked gray dress shirt and mid thigh length skirt, accompanied by cute little boots that ran halfway up the leg - they were alike. Neither girl was fond of the outfit. True, it was adorable, picture worthy, but they hadn't looked this identical since they were five.
"I think maybe she's just trying to wear us out...and then ditch us," Emma remarked in her soft voice, once again turning a sharp corner. "I wouldn't doubt it...I've never been here before." Anna was clearly worried, grabbing onto Emma as someone reached out to touch her. Their friendly city neighboorhood had long since disappeared in leave of the shady, downtown lower city. Everyone here looked questionable, and she clearly doubted their mother's judgement. Morgan - because neither of them really liked calling her mother - would ususually let them do whatever they pleased. She liked giving them the freedom to not be under her feet. Though, with their father on an extended vacation and the family becoming tight on money, they'd all been spending way too much time together. Now, at the beginning of summer, neither twin knew how they were going to survive a whole three months with her.
The apartments they did enter let the girls breathe a sigh of relief. "This is nice!" Anna flashed a perfectly white smile at the men that held the door open for them. As they got on the elevator, their mother handed one of the men a card, and they were whisked away to the top floor of the building. "Alright girls, this is a very important friend of mine," Their mother talked sternly, as though they were toddlers again. "Please don't speak unless you're spoken to. Just stand next to me and look cute. 'Seen and not heard', remember?"
"Then you shouldn't have brought us..." Rolling her eyes, Emma crossed her arms across her chest defiantly. Her mother was always too thrilled to parade them around in public. She thought twins were the most adorable thing...that people actually thought they were special. Just as Morgan opened her mouth to speak, the elevator opened to a beautiful sitting room. Her anger was replaced by the widest grin either of them had ever seen, mirthful, in a strange way. "Come on girls, best not keep him waiting!"
