Yesterday I decided to prank my girlfriend by pretending to be my twin brother. Random as fuck, I know. But I've always wondered if I could fool her into thinking I was him. It was time.

So, there I was, approaching my house and ringing my doorbell completely in character. I was wearing torn denims and converse sneakers, the complete opposite of what I normally wear but exactly the style to match my bro. I was walking like him, talking like him, sounding like him, hell, even smelling like him.

My girlfriend eventually opened the door and saw deepfake me standing there. Regardless of how well prepared I was to play my twin brother, the moment I locked eyes with my girlfriend, I expected her to see right through my facade. She stared at me, confused. At first I wasn't sure if that was because she knew it was me or because she was surprised to see it's my brother.

There was only one way to find out. I said hi and dropped the "I was in the neighborhood" line. My girlfriend suddenly pulled me inside and slammed the door shut.

Girlfriend: Are you out of your fucking mind showing up here like this?

Me: Uh... thought I'd visit.

Girlfriend: And I thought we agreed to stop seeing each other.

Me: What do you mean?

Girlfriend: What the fuck do you mean, what do I mean? Whatever that shit was between us, it's over. Go home to your fiancee.

Me: Enough. It's me. Your boyfriend.

Girlfriend: You don't know when to give up, do you?

I showed her my ID. I'd never seen so many mixed emotions flash across her face until that moment. At first she tried to play it off like she was in on the act all along and this whole interaction was nothing more than a cheating girlfriend narrative she fabricated on the spot just to fuck with me. I wasted no time calling my brother and fucking forcing a confession out of him. The motherfucker admitted to seeing my girlfriend on and off behind my back for months. When that call ended, so did my relationship with both of them.

TL:DR Pranked my girlfriend by pretending to be my twin brother and realized that the two of them were secretly pranking me by pretending to be people I could trust.
