《Seeing Double》51
Advertisement
"Hear ya go ladies." Someone from the USOC says and hands Ash, Alyssa, and myself our tickets for the Williams/Williams v Kerber/Petkovic gold medal match.
We beat Japan 3-0 a couple days ago then we beat Australia yesterday in a boring 2-0 semi final match so we have the gold medal match against Team GB left.
Today the coaching staff decide to give us the day off to let us hang out with our position groups and just relax.
We three keepers decided to go watch the tennis match, the defenders are watching the USA v Canada Beach Volleyball quarter final, the midfielders are watching the USA v Italy men's indoor volleyball quarter final, and the forwards are watching the USA v Lithuania men's basketball quarter final match.
"Thank you." We say then start walking to the tennis venue.
Along the way we talk about a lot of things. Our next game, what olympic things we wanna see, and our future's.
"So have you given any thought about your future on the team Lys?" Ash asks.
"I don't know." Alyssa says. "I mean I'll be 35 when the next World Cup comes around so I don't know...I'll probably think about it during the off season."
"ASTRID." I hear someone yell so all of us turn around.
I then see my old college friend jog towards me
"Hey Hannah." I say and hug the girl. "What are you doing here?"
"I was watching my little sister." Hannah says.
"Oh how'd she do?" I ask as I notice Hanna looking at Alyssa.
"She and the rest of Team USA got to the finals so that's good."
"That is good." I say then grab my phone. "Well hey we need to get to get going, but why don't you text me and I'll get the other Stanford girls and we can catch up sometime over dinner."
"That sounds great." Hannah says and types her number into my phone. "I texted you so I have your number."

"Alright." I say and hug Hannah. "Bye Han."
"Bye Astrid." Hannah says then we part.
Ash, Alyssa, and I continue making our way to the tennis stadium.
"Who was that?" Alyssa asks.
"A friend from College."
"Is she just here to watch her sister?"
"No. She's also running the 100, the 200, and the 4 x 100 meter relay."
"Oh." Alyssa says as we approach the tennis stadium.
"You think she's hot don't you." Ash teases.
"I mean did you see her?" Alyssa questions as we get to the gate.
The three of us hand our tickets to one of the workers then we make our way to our seats which are thankfully out of the sun. Once we find our seats Alyssa heads off to get us drinks while Ash and I chill.
"Did you notice the looks Lys was giving your friend?" Ash asks. "I've never seen her look at anybody like that."
"No, but I did notice Hannah looking at Lys like she wanted to jump her bones."
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ash questions.
"Already on it." I say and pull out my phone.
Me: So I noticed you eye fucking my teammate.
Hannah: Can you blame me?
Hannah: I'd let her do very naughty things to me.
Me: 🙈🙉
Me: Are you free for dinner tonight?
Hannah: I am
"Here ya go." Alyssa says and hands us our drinks.
"Thanks." Ash and I say.
"Hey Lys?" I ask.
"Yeah."
"Do you have plans for dinner tonight?"
"No? Why?"
"Wanna go out with Hannah?" I ask.
"Yeah." Alyssa says with a smile so turn back to my phone.
Me: 203-555-8921
Me: That's Alyssa's number. Text her and ask her to dinner.
Hannah: 👍
"She should text you soon." I say and look over at Lys, but she's smiling at her phone. "I guess she already did."

"We're going to dinner later." Alyssa says then she puts her phone away.
The three of us watch as the Williams sisters dismantle the Germans and win in straight sets 6-2, 6-3 which means they win the gold medal. After the medal ceremony ends the three of us head back to the Olympic village then we head to our team meeting room to chill before everyone is released for dinner.
"Why does my sister look like she wants to crawl under a rock?" I ask after I notice my sister balled up on a couch.
"We were getting snacks for movie night and we saw this." Tierna says and holds out a gossip magazine.
On the gossip magazine is a picture of me and Kelley at training and we're messing around. The problem is that with the way Kelley and I are positioned you can see who has a bigger chest, me, and who has a bigger ass, also me. The magazine also has a caption basically comparing my twin and I's physical build.
Growing up I was always compared to Kelley except for in the way we are physically built. Everyone always compared Kelley's body to mine and it hurt her a lot.
"For fuck's sake." I mumble then hand the magazine back to the youngster. "I'll handle this."
I walk over to my twin who's sitting on a couch, hugging her knees, and she has her head down. I sit down next to her then I pull her on my lap and gently rock us back and forth.
"You are beautiful just the way you are." I whisper and kiss my twin's head.
"Can you sing?" Kelley whispers.
"Of course Kelloggs." I say then clear my throat which causes the whole team to become silent.
Oh beautiful lady, Maybelline baby
Hearing from her mirror
Her dukes they are not daisies
Her shape and size, don't need advice
But she paints up that face, to make sure that the blemishes hide
Coffee and cigarettes
Calorie noose around the neck
Doll it up or disrespect, disrespect, disrespect
Popping pills and posting pics
Stressing on her waist and hips
Her body's right, the world is sick
World is sick, world is sick
Oh flower, flower, growing free
All your petals, they look good to me
You're just the way that you should be
You're beautiful naturally, you're beautiful naturally
Oh beautiful maiden, L'Oréal patron
Wasting all her money on that body that she keeps hating
Her ass and thighs they don't need advice
But the magazine rack keeps saying that her rack's the wrong size
Coffee and cigarettes
Calorie noose around the neck
Doll it up or disrespect, disrespect, disrespect
Popping pills and posting pics
Stressing on her waist and hips
Her body's right, the world is sick
World is sick, world is sick
Oh flower, flower, growing free
All your petals, they look good, to me
And you're just the way, that you should be
You're beautiful naturally, you're beautiful naturally
Oh babe I said flower, flower, growing free
All your petals, they look good, to me
You're just the way, that you should be
You're beautiful naturally, you're beautiful naturally
You're beautiful naturally, you're beautiful naturally
"Kelley look at me." I say after I stop singing, but Kelley shakes her head. "Don't make me tickle you."
"You wouldn't." Kelley immediately says and looks at me with a smile.
"We both know I would." I say with a smile then I kiss my sisters head. "Don't you ever think that you are not beautiful Kelley."
"But the magazine." Kelley mumbles.
"Fuck the magazine." I say cutting her off. "Kelley I can guarantee you that none of those people would ever feel comfortable enough to get naked for a magazine to showcase their body like you did for ESPN."
"But..."
"Kelley." I warn making my twin stop talking.
"Fine." Kelley pouts.
"You know you looked hella good on that magazine." I say then Kelley scoffs
"I always look good." Kelley sassily says.
"There she is." I say and kiss my twins head.
"Now where are we eating?"

Reaching for One's Desire: Kane's Ascension
After living most of his life as a worthless orphan, Michael Kane only desired for the chance to make something of himself in this world of monsters and magic. In a world where only wealth and power mattered, he was literally at the bottom of the food chain. He fucking hated it. Always having felt that he was destined for something greater than what was essentially a beggar’s life, Michael held hope that things would change with the arrival of the Day of Gaia’s Gift, which happened exactly halfway through the year. It was the day in which everyone that was fifteen years old was given access to the System and was given a ‘Class’ depending on your aptitude, two if you were exceptional and lucky. It was his hope that he was given at least one class worthy of becoming an Adventurer, which would help him start his path to a life of wealth, fame, luxury and pleasure. Being an orphan that never knew his parents and having no one that he cared for nor that cared for him, it was not surprising that these were Michael’s goals. Little does he know, that he is destined for even greater things.

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)

The Legendary Ghost Hunter

Thankfully, with the paracausal power of Angelicas, humans was able to push back the Ghost tide and rebuild their civilization. Now, however, it was time for the Second. Finn Thresher was just a normal university student at first. He, like the rest of the public world, had no idea what was coming for them — but sometimes, just because you don't know, doesn't mean you can't be harmed. His family... his sight... his purpose. All lost to the paranormal. It was time to abandon his beliefs. To throw away his morals. After all... if these creatures weren't human anyway, there was no point in showing them humanity. In the first battle of this war, the Ghosts won, nearly driving the human race to extinction. In the second, the humans fought back with the power of Angelicas and managed to secure a victory. Now, the third and final round was approaching — and this time, it's personal.

Inveigle
Cora Carpenter lives in an America where over 90% of the popular vote went to one presidential candidate. New policies pervade the American culture such as the Better Homes Better Future Act where all pregnant couples must pass an IQ test with 90 or higher and scores are tattooed on the infants skull for record keeping. Anything lower and the child is given to a more suitable home. Or the Volunteer Tax because if someone has time to dedicate to the less fortunate, then they must of course have extra income to spare. The best part, everyone agrees to these laws because if not one phone call is all it takes for someone to disappear. But what if persuasion isn't a learned skill but a gift embedded into a person by ancient beings? And what if these ancient beings are at war with each other? This story has been completed.
