Chapter Text
Justin is on an otherwise empty set of Tedd's basement.
"Hi, I'm Justin," he says, although you already knew that.
He starts walking away from the set and the camera follows him. "Here at El Goonish Shive, sometimes our characters need to do stunts. That's why we have stunt doubles."
He stops next to his stunt double. "My stunt double is great at doing stunts, and I am great at being Justin."
"Hey, I'm decent at being Justin too!"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Well... yes, I am!"
"Then how about we have a friendly bet. You can try to be Justin in the next scene we film."
"What happens if I win?"
"I'll sing a 'Justin's stunt double is the greatest' song."
"Deal."
Later that very same day...
"It's time to film the next scene!" Dan announced. Justin's stunt double walked up to the set.
"Justin, there aren't any stunts in this scene." Dan told him.
"Justin and I made a bet to see if I could do his dialogue in this scene."
"But Justin isn't in this scene."
Justin looked at Justin.
"We didn't plan for that, did we?" the stunt double asked.
"We didn't," Justin confirmed. He started looking through a small book. "According to the official EGS Flashfic Friendly Wager Rules (AnonymousWriter972 edition), if the wager ends in an ambiguous situation we both lose."
There was a momentary pause, as both Justins processed this information. Then they both started singing about how great the other was.
