• Twin Galaxy

  Alright, inspired by my friends' recent twin gestation including twin-saving laser surgery, I have worked out a brilliant plot.

  I was told I couldn't make any of the twins evil, so I had to think even harder, but it might even work BETTER.  See, challenges can help the creative process.

  Okay, so the real life part of the story involves this:
  Girl and dude, and the girl is pregnant with identical twin girls. About 20 weeks in, they find out they have Twin-To-Twin-Transfusion-Syndrome (already a kickass science fiction ailment) where one twin is getting too much life fluid and the other is getting too little! So the doctors go in with a powerful laser (already a kickass science fiction element), do some choppy-chop, even up the vessels, sew it up, and go play golf.

  NOW, is where you have to start thinking about the incredible plot I developed. Ask yourself, WHY were these two twins stricken with this ailment? Chance? Bad luck? BORING! Think again: Enemy from the future!

  I have opened the curtain now and shown that this story involves time travel. However, let me explain that it is the type of time travel best for movies, where the people in the future who are trying to control the past, still have to like make sure things are going alright or something? You know, like they send back Terminator, and they should know INSTANTLY in the future whether or not it works because it would have happened already. But that's not fun for movies. So my movie is the fun time.

  ALRIGHT, so the time travel available is very minimal.  The future enemies only had a small window to affect the past, it was after the conception of the twins, so they couldn't just do away with the mom or an ancestor, and also I don't think they had the ability to use any guns, so they just had like some special future medicine thing, alright. So, they went back in time and gave the twins the Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, hoping that it would KILL THEM! Why? That becomes more apparent later in the story but spoiler alert, in the future these twins are super powerful in the world and stop the evil-doers from doing their plans of evil, etc. So that's why the evil doers didn't want them around.

  So, they give the Twin-to-twin-transfusion-syndrome, but it is reversed by doctors. End of story and things will happen as they did before (the twins become super cool rulers of the world)? NOT NECESSARILY, because the smallest changes in the past can make the biggest ramifications in the future.

  SO, the GOOD GUYS from the future have to still make sure that the twins grow up on a similar path that they would have without the EVIL GUYS screwing with the past.  Let's say there was like some big event (similar to The Enchantment Under The Sea Dance) where the twins went from normal people to super powerful good people.  So, the GOOD GUYS send this robot thing back in time to help the twins along their path. It is a robot that is shaped like a dog.  It can only bark, but it has a smart brain like a proper robot.

  So this robot dog, we'll call him Robo-Dog has to watch over the twins and ensure that despite what the evil dudes did with going back in time, everything will turn out alright.

  Fill in some hilarious dialogue, Robo-Dog biting the mailman on the crotch, some hot teenage twin girls, and this is the Sci-Fi thriller of a lifetime!
