| Antonia: You don�t have to be so mean to her mom. (Cough) I�ll never understand why you hate her so much. We are twins you know. Maria: (thinks about what Tony has said) You know�you�re right. JULIA�COME OUT HERE! Julia: What now? Maria: I�ve just thought of the way you can help out your sister. Julia: How can I do that? Maria: Simple�you take her place. Antonia and Julia: What?! Maria: You two are twins�no one knows you two are twins and everyone says you two look exactly alike. Julia: There is no way I�m going to go along with this. Besides�wouldn�t people notice a difference in our personalities? Maria: You have no personality dear. Julia: You sure aren�t making your case any better mother. Maria: (walks over to Julia) It would only be a few weeks until Tony was feeling better. Can�t you just do this for her? It would mean a lot to the both of us? Antonia: Only for a week or two sis. Julia: (looks at Tony�then at her mother�and then back at Tony who is coughing her head off) (sighs) Alright. Maria: Thank you honey. I�m proud of you. Julia: (looks at her mother) Yeah sure. Maria: Now first off about that hair�and no more eating candy bars. Julia: That�s it deals off. Maria: (grabs her daughter�s arm) No no�come on we have to get you fixed. Julia: Fixed? (A few hours later, Julia and Maria come back from their outing. Antonia is lying on the couch watching TV) Julia: (coming in the door) I can�t believe you did this to me. Antonia: (sits up and looks at her sister. Her eyes widen) You�re hair is red! Julia: YA THINK! And it�s curly! Antonia: (laughs) You look like me now. Julia: That�s the point. (Sits next to her sister and starts to cry) What have I gotten myself into? Antonia: Did you forget who you get to date? Julia: (still crying) Huh? Antonia: Remember�I�m�I mean you�re dating a certain Backstreet Boy that you are in love with. Julia: (all happy) OH MY GOD! (Knock at the door) Maria: (looks through the peephole) Oh god�it�s AJ. Julia: (squeaks) Maria: Antonia go to your room. We can�t have him see you. Antonia: Why don�t we just tell him what�s going on? Maria: NO! Now go! (Antonia grabs her stuff and heads for her room) Maria: Julia answer the door and remember you are Antonia now. Julia: Right I�m Tony. (Gets up and answer the door) AJ: Hi. Julia: Hi. (Giggles) AJ: Are you feeling better? Julia: Yeah. AJ: I just came by to tell you there�s a show tonight�if you want to make an appearance. Maria: (runs over) She�d love to. Thanks AJ. AJ: Ok�see ya later than. Julia: (waves) Bye. (AJ leaves) Julia: (Screams) I can�t believe I am going out with AJ! Antonia: (comes out of her room) I�m going out with AJ�you�re pretending to be me going out with AJ. Julia: Right. (Later that night, Julia goes to the concert. The show is over and Julia is backstage) Julia: Great show guys. (They all look at each other�then at her.) Howie: Thanks. Julia: You�re welcome. (They keep on staring at her) Julia: (looks around) What? Brian: Nothing. Nothing at all. Julia: Ooooook. Kevin: So, AJ told us you were sick�you feeling better? Julia: I wasn�t si�oh�yes�much better thank you. AJ: You ok Antonia�you seem a little weird tonight. Julia: Um�yea, I�m fine�it�s the cold medicine. You know how that is I�m sure. Nick: I�m gonna get some food�anyone want anything? Julia: Oooo�no wait�damn diet. Nick: Anyone else? All: No thanks. (Nick walks between AJ and Julia, and Julia just smacks his butt) Nick: (jumps) What was that? (All the guys are in shock) Julia: Oh my goodness. (Holds up her hands) These guys have a mind of their own. I�m gonna�(looks at wrist where a watch would be) look at that�time to go. Bye. (Runs away) Brian: That was really scary. Nick: She hit my ass dude. Kevin: That girl did a 360 in the personality department. AJ: Maybe it was the medicine�some of those make ya crazy. |
