Feeling like things could not get any worse, the clone was wearing women's clothes. Wendy probably had a spare outfit as well. The clone had a skirt and a blouse. Their posture was that of a loving couple. "I guess using Lock powers keeps the clones around for longer." Noah said. Maroon shrugged and said "Whatever it is, it's weird to see what we would look like with a skirt on." He did not seem to be someone who was bothered by much. It was a bad fit on him. Noah simply did not have the figure for it. Cinnabar said "It's not our problem. He's going to disappear on his own anyway. With the way you've been spreading your powers thin, he's only got about 21 hours. I don't know if he can beat Wendy in time to use his Lock's power. Even then it's pretty week." "The Lock was barely visible." Maroon agreed. They walked home together and did their homework. It was still hard for Noah's parents to get a handle on this situation. When they needed to get either Maroon or Cinnabar's attention, they would mistakenly call them both Noah. Maroon was way more accepting of this than Cinnabar.
Just shrugging things off from people was Maroon's forte. "Can you try a bit harder, dad!? You're the one that named me!" Cinnabar snapped after the third slip up from him. Their dad flinched and said "Sorry. I need to get used to this. How was your day, Cinnabar? Did anything exciting happen?" He blinked and said "Well, nothing much. People were just really surprised to see me." He was smart enough to not mention getting beaten up by Brett in the Music room. That would bring down the mood at the table. Their mom had some key lime pie for dessert prepared to celebrate the clones' first day in school. They smiled at her since it was Noah's favorite. Therefore, it was their favorite as well. They ate and the parents were amazed that the clones were almost the same Noah. Noah had no real opinion on this. As long as they knew which one was Noah, they could treat the two clones however they liked. When they went up to their room, the clones decided to lay on the bed and 69. "What the hell are you doing!?" Noah snapped. "We can't retain powers forever. We have 42 hours." Maroon explained.
Noah let them do what they needed. When they were done, he said "Do you think Crimson and Scarlet are going to do that too!? They have to do it too or lose the ability to talk." "They should. All of us know we have limited time here." Cinnabar said as he laid on the bed. Noah just looked at him. The clone sucked his teeth and laid down on the floor. Maroon was already resting on the floor on the other side of the bed. They went to school and the three of them got to their homerooms right away. Noah did not want to deal with any of the nonsense that seemed to follow him these past few days. Both Cinnabar and Maroon got assigned their lockers and books. Once again, when it was time for lunch, Cinnabar was nowhere to be seen. Noah and Maroon gathered Noah's friends to look for him. Eventually, they found him in the locker room, slumped over a bench. It was clear they beat him up as he was unconscious. They also saw that the Lock on his ass had changed. It was now opened with a bright white key. Cum was flowing out his ass as well. Cinnabar was now bonded to somebody else.
That was not good. Noah and Maroon rushed into a shower stall to see if they were affected in anyway. Neither of their Locks had changed. It was a relief to them. They could still use their powers freely. When Cinnabar came to, he was not sure what happened. He was at his locker when someone attacked him from behind. They put some wet cloth to his face and he was out like a light. Neither Noah nor Maroon saw anyone leave the locker room when they came in. That meant they took the exit that led to the field and circled back to the building from one of the side entrances. It had to be recently due to the amount of cum that was still flowing out his ass. Cinnabar had to clean himself out in the shower. Noah had a question. "If you're bonded now, how are you going to keep your powers? You don't even know who did it." he asked the clone. Cinnabar frowned. "A bond goes two ways. He is going to come to me once he finds out what happened. I just have to blow him every other day. Then I'll... be okay." he said unconvincingly. One of the lead bullies did approach them after school.
