Disclaimer: Everything you recognize is Meg Cabot’s…Natalie and Alex are MINE!

Summary:

Natalie and Alex…twin girls separated at birth. Nat lives with her father, Alex with her mother. Both do not know the other exist…yet.

Read both their diaries and find out what happens when the two meet and vow to bring their parents back together.

…Yeah, that’s right. They’re the kids of Sam and David.

Author’s Note:

Ok, I know, I know. I really shouldn’t start another story but I didn’t want anyone to take the plot idea first!

Natalie’s Diary, 31st March

So, not much to say today…well except for Dad telling me that I’m going to have an unexpected guest next week.

Wonder who it’s going to be. To tell you the truth, I couldn’t care less. It’s probably going to be some daughter of one of Dad’s rich contacts.

I’d much rather Ryan Strackham asked me to the prom.

Whatever.

So alright, maybe I should pay more attention to Dad’s ‘guests’…but it’s not my fault. Really.

I would much rather be upstairs in my room drawing; or listening to music for that case.

“Nat?” shouts Dad from downstairs, obviously oblivious to the fact that I’m BUSY, writing in here.

“Yeah?” I yell back.

“You know that special guest? Well, she’s come early.”

Damn. But at least it’s a ‘she’. Better than the last boy that Dad tried to persuade me to live with.

Why is she here early anyway? Why couldn’t she just not come? I really don’t think I can stand another girl ranting on about her never ending riches.

Seriously.

So anyway, I guess I have to go down…

And yeah, I’m not looking forward to it…

…On second thoughts, I think I’m going to take this book down. Just so I don’t look stupid, not being able to think of anything to say.

Don’t blame me…I’m a red-head. Not good at being put into the spotlight. Hmm…I obviously didn’t inherit my Dad’s genes…And my mother?

Well, to be truthful, I don’t actually know her. They (meaning my parents) divorced soon after my birth…

“NAT!” shouts Dad again.

What does a person have to do to get privacy round here?

Natalie’s Diary, 31st March (Later)

Yeah, the guest Dad was expecting? Well, she’s some stupid, tomboyish girl. I mean, it’s OBVIOUS that we’re not going to get on.

The first thing she says to me in this really, really bored voice:

“Hello, nice to meet you. What’s your name?”

Make an effort will you? I mean, it’s the GREAT NATALIE you’re meeting.

So anyway, I tell her my name and she bursts out laughing. I glare and she goes:

“Natalie, huh?”

“Yeah? What’s so funny? What’s YOUR name?” I retort, my voice full of anger.

“Me? Alex Madison.”

She shoots me a look before bounding off to…

…Wait a second. Dad didn’t mention TWO guests.

“Alex…” the woman says warningly.

“Nat, I’d like you to meet Sam and Alexandra. They’re your…” Dad says, visibly hesitating at the last bit of the sentence.

The woman who I took to be Sam exchanged a look with Dad before quickly going:

“…Cousins, we’re your cousins.”

Right…Something is seriously strange here. I haven’t even HEARD of the surname Madison.

“And my name’s ALEX not Alexandra.” Says Alexandra fiercely, making my Dad frown.

Ha, maybe I should call her Alexandra just to annoy her. Since she WAS mean to me before.

Life is looking interesting. And not in a good light either. With stupid Alex Madison around…well, I don’t know.

But what Dad said next made me wish that the Madison’s never stepped foot into our house:

“Nat, Sam and Alex are going to be staying at our house for the next year. So that means that Alex is going to be in all your classes. And…”

“…sharing your room.”

Why, oh why?

It’s not like Alex…wait, no Alexandra would appreciate art, is it? I mean, she’ll probably go into my room and break all my precious easels.

Anyway, got to go. Dad wants us all to have a ‘family dinner’. Joy.
