Olive was starting to go stir crazy herself. She loved her friends, both iterations of Helena, but one was very young and the other wasn’t old, but old enough they weren’t always on the same wave-length for interests. They were great to have around, but Olive needed someone her own age, and Juno had gone silent on her. They hadn’t spoken in weeks, Juno had simply stopped responding to texts, and Olive didn’t know why.
But that was a thought for a different day.
Today she had reinvented her past; her father was Indiana Jones and her mother Lara Croft. And now she had a sister. Olive too only had brothers, she loved her brothers, wouldn’t trade them for anything. But sisters were cool too, at least the idea of them was. And the closest she was going to get to having one right now was pretending her twin from another universe was her sister. And that they were the children of adventuring archeologists.
“So I’m thinking we should come up with names for our parents, or at least last names. Or does Jones-Croft sound okay?” Olive said as she stepped up and looked down at her friend who, despite having wonderfully natural blonde hair, looked eerily like her in almost every other way.
