Robbin grinned. "Ou! Ou! I've got other ideas we could use- but they're difficult to explain and I would rather just show them on the computer or show you the coding." finally at an end to her brainstorming, Robbin made to take another large sip of the chocolate shake. She was instantly depressed to find the container empty, however. The twin frowned at the cup. "Aww....."

"You know it's only confusing when you talk it out," Ribbon joked. The look on her sister's face made the photographer frown, glancing at the empty cup. After much inner debate (and hesitation) she held her own out to Robbin (about a third of it being left). "Drink this one slower, ok?"
((Oh my shizz, my posts are getting short >.>))

The teleporter stared at her twin with wide eyes. "You know, Ribbon....." she began, taking the drink without any of the hesitation that Ribbon had had. "....I honestly do not think that is physically possible for me." she took a sip, expression happy. "It'd be awesome if we could fill a pool up with this! Of course, after cleaning every inch- perhaps just one of those giant mixing things that they use in factories...." her expression seemed thoughtful for that moment, as though an actual plan were formulating in her mind.

---TIMESKIP---
Ribbon was, without a doubt, distracted as she left the school's darkroom a few days later. She'd had a buttload of pictures that needed developing that she hadn't been looking forward to. It wasn't that she disliked the act of developing the film (in fact, she sort of loved it), but it was what these particular pictures were OF. Well, one picture, really.
The whole lot of the prints were clutched in a folder in her hand, as if they were a deadly package. Most people didn't seem to notice as she made her way back to the girl's dorm and up to her room. Which made her glad, she supposed. she just wasn't up for questions, right then. Of course, there would be no avoiding it if her sister were in the room when she got there.
Regretting the thought that surely jinxed her, she slipped her key into the door and opened it, only to find her twin on the other side. "Hey," she greeted lamely, shutting the door behind herself.

"Hey!" Robbin called from her place at the computer desk, fingers flying across the keyboard. Numbers and ill-grammared words were quickly lining themselves up on the page of her monitor; the coding for the prank site. "I was seeing what the codings I found would look like.....so far, I'm really like this mouse fleeing one. It randomizes the pictures, even." the twin put the document into a browser, showing the experiment. To demonstrate, she slung the cursor around. As the cursor reached an already revealed picture, the picture disappeared to show another one at a completely different spot. If you tried to move the mouse over there, it would do the same thing.
Robbin turned to her sister, smiling. "With the amount of pictures that you take, the amount of randomization is-" the twin cut off as she noticed something...off about her twin. It wasn't really her appearance, exactly, but just the sort of air around her. Something was bothering her. She blinked. ".....Are you alright?" the teleporter asked, minimizing the screen to bring her full attention to her sister.

Ribbon watched silently as her sister showed off the coding. For once, her sister's high spirits didn't seem to make her smile. Her lips didn't even twitch. She couldn't even bring herself to praise the project she'd been so looking forward to. She just... couldn't. As soon as her sister seemed to notice, Ribbon looked away. What was she supposed to tell her? She honestly couldn't find the words to describe how she felt or why. Instead, she held out the folder for her sister, her cheeks flaming as she instructed, "Just... look. Near the bottom of the stack."

The twin only blinked, taking the folder and slipping out the pictures. She sifted through them, seeing nothing off until.....holy snapper doodle. What's with the crazed feline about to eat the camera? Robbin couldn't have imagined that her sister would have allowed her precious belonging to be in such danger. A few more pictures. Neko.....huh. She stopped at the shot at where her sister was tackling the shapeshifter. The teleporter had a bad feeling about what was coming next.
She finally got to the last photo. Of a kiss. Robbin looked up at her sister. With anyone else, she would have had to figure out a way to scrape the story out of them. But with her sister, it was so much simpler, and better for both of them. She said nothing, merely held out a hand.

Ribbon didn't even have to look up to know that her sister's hand was there, or where it was. Like a magnet, her own hand reached back to take her sister's, their eyes instantly beginning to glow bright white. Ribbon took control of the touch, shifting through her memories to show Robbin the day by the lake. How thoughtless she'd been, how wonderful it had felt, how confused she was about the entire thing. How she'd yelled at him. Ran away. The two of them making up and promising never to mention it again. How she wasn't sure what the hell she wanted or why.
Eventually, after showing her sister everything, their eyes returned to normal and Ribbon looked away, flushing.
"I think it was the stupidest thing I've ever done." She mumbled, taking the picture from her sisters hand to stare at it.

For a few moments, Robbin said nothing. The teleporter merely turned slightly in her chair, leaning back in thought. "....Is it really so surprising...?" she seemed to be murmuring to herself. "You and Neko are really close.....maybe that's just how it was meant to end up?" the twin asked, turning back to her sister. Her knowledge of relationships was not exactly vast, and was perhaps less than Ribbon's.

Robbin's words seemed to absorb slowly into Ribbon's head, though she was still slow to really understand it. "But... but it's Neko!" She objected, as if that explained it all. "I'm not even sure where all this came from. How am I supposed to know if this is how it's 'meant to end up'?" Frustrated, she turned and flopped face down onto her bed with a groan. "I don't even know how to act around him, any more."
