"How come you never told me you had a twin?" Benny asks.
Pandora sighs again. "I didn't know, either, Benny. At least, until my patéras called me yesterday."
"So, let me get this straight. Your parents are divorced. You lived with your mom, and your twin sister lived with your dad?"
Pandora nods. "Apparently."
A taxi pulls up and Pandora stands, bringing up Benny with her. The door opens and out stands an exact replica of Pandora, though the twin's hair isn't dyed black. And there's another difference, Pandora notes. Her twin's eyes are sapphire blue.
"Anáthemá sas! Elpízo̱ na sapísei sti̱n kólasi̱ me ton Ádi̱, pou i̱ mi̱téra gami̱méno kathíki pó̱ma!" she screams at the taxi driver. Then she turns and spots Pandora.
"Hi!" The girl says, her ringlets swaying as she bounds over to Pandora. "I'm Raen!"
"Rain?" Benny looks over at Pandora. "Are your parents hippies or something?"
"No, Raen!" Pandora smiles at Raen. "I'm Pandora and this is my boyfriend, Benny."
Raen smiles. "Hello!"
"Hi, Raen," Benny waves sheepishly, causing Raen to smile.
"Eínai kápo̱s charito̱ména, Pandy!" she says to her sister. "Theé mou, eísai tycherós."
"Um, sas ef̱charistó̱! Nomízo̱." Pandora looks over at Benny. "Kalýteri̱ metaveíte se Angliká. Paírnei trelós an écho̱ krýpsei prágmata apó af̱tón."
Raen bursts out laughing. "Nice," she says in English. "My last boyfriend got pissed whenever I spoke English, but it wasn't very often, anyway."
Pandora nods. "Yeah, he gets fussy. And then I kiss him and he practically faints."
Both girls burst out laughing, whilst Benny looks offended. "You do know I'm right here, right?" he says to his girlfriend.
"Well, you can't accuse me off talking behind your back," Pandora says, shrugging.
"That's right!" Raen says, high-fiving Pandora.
Benny rubs his temples. "God, this is confusing."
"He only believes in one god?" Raen whispers to Pandora. "He's not Greek?"
"No, actually, he's aethist." Pandora answers.
"So … " Raen looks at Benny. "He doesn't believe in our Lord, Zeus? Or his lady, Hera?"
"It's fine, Raen. We don't talk religion, anyway." Pandora comes to the rescue.
"Yeah, religion is like a penis," Benny says as Pandora and Raen stare at hin weirdly. "You don't whip it out in public, and you don't shove it in other people's faces."
Pandora bursts out laughing and Raen just stares at Benny like he's some sort of science project.
