The Perry Brothers - Ch. 12

Terri and Terry, 18 years old
"Boys! Breakfast is ready." Terry and Terri pull themselves out of bed with difficulty. None of the universities, they've applied to, have answered. It doesn't seem good at all. The brothers go downstairs and mom asks them to get the mail. They go outside and the sunlight shines brightly and inconveniently into their eyes. The newspaper, a few bills, advertisement, a letter from their annoying aunt - she's on vacation somewhere - and two letters from Monsters University. One for Terri Matthew Perry, one for Terry Mathew Perry. Could this be it? Terri can't help but freak out in joy. "Terry, Terry, Terry! It's from the university... Monsters University!" "Oh, reeaally? I couldn't see that." Terry sounds sarcastic, but smiles at his brother's excitement.

   The twins go inside and open the letters in the breakfast table. Their parents see the MU logo and get excited too. "Dear Terri Matthew Perry/Terry Mathew Perry, we are happy to accept you to our university. We hope to see you the 21st of August, this year. Your brother, Terry/Terri is also welcome. Regards, Dean Hardscrabble." The brothers' faces light up. "We're accepted! To MU! We're gonna be college students! At Monsters University!" The whole family gets up, jumping around and hugging each other. Things are finally coming together. For a long while, even Terri, the king of optimism, didn't believe things would work out. Emily, "the twin-murders", college... Now atleast something's going in the right direction.

   21st of August. This is the day. The brothers have woken up early and checked, once again, if they have everything packed. "Terri, this is it... We're leaving home. We're going to college. We're gonna become scarers. We're growing up." "I know... Wow! I just can't wait. We could join a fraternity and we can... There's just so much!" "Yeah. But you better study some too. I don't want everyone thinkin. that we're both stupid just because of you." Terri smiles sarcastically. "Ha ha. You are so funny." "What? What did I say? I was being completely honest." The twins laugh, joke and pick on each other. Once their parents wake up, they go to the bus stop. Mom couldn't be more proud. "Oh, I just can't believe, you're growing up! I love you boys so much." "Remember to call us every now and then." Terry gets out of mom's hug to answer. "Sure, dad." Eventually the bus comes and the brothers get on it. Terry and Terri wave as the bus starts moving and mom takes a picture.
