This was the last year they were eligible, and if they won it meant they would be the only act ever to win every year that they competed. In the 1970s a guy had won four times, but he’d gone on to Nola Semczyszynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325014614806991608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390476949755697448.post-57056875835422613822011-03-14T23:43:00.000-07:002011-03-14T23:43:59.572-07:00How the twins weren't even in high school yet and it was already causing problems
The twins spoke softly as they got prepared for an important performance in Kitchener Ontario. Only a curtain separated them from masses of their fans in the out door arena in Victoria Park. On the stage, a girl was tap dancing to Olivia Newton John’s “Let’s get Physical”.
Sunshine and Rain looked at each other and smiled. They nodded in sync as the tap dancer finished and it was their Nola Semczyszynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325014614806991608noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390476949755697448.post-41906693010695522182011-02-23T11:42:00.000-08:002011-02-23T11:42:02.873-08:00How the twins were gracious and never let their fame go to their headsAfter their fame was established, they were requested to do many performances. They were in demand, and began to tour on the tween competition circuit where they were considered the sure-fire winners of the ultimate tween prize—the Tween Talent Time Trophy Cup! Around town the other kids talked about nothing except Rain and Sunshine’s fame.

The town was, however, quite usual in that it had nine churches. Downtown there was a large Presbyterian church, an Anglican Church, and a United Church. Further out there was a Lutheran Church, a Baptist Church and a Catholic Church. On the very edges of town there was a Pentecostal Nola Semczyszynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325014614806991608noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390476949755697448.post-87942489281372384192011-01-30T17:05:00.000-08:002011-01-30T17:05:33.188-08:00How the twins discovered their special gift.Carrick is still a beautiful little town, despite the neatness being mildly sullied by the usual sprawl of big box stores and crystal meth use among the youth, and it is also a little famous (despite never being mentioned on CBC).
Most notably Carrick is famous for a yearly event which draws international attention to this otherwise quiet community.

There wasn’t a time when the twins did not know they were special. It was a fact as clear as the blue sky, the importance of hockey season and the devastating badness of Menudo. That they knew this was in no way surprising. Everyone knew.
