Fic: Opposite Reaction Same Result

Continuum: The Parent Trap 1998 remake

Description: A Replacement Sue of Hallie viciously insults an OOC version of Annie, who breaks down and thus causing the whole plot from the aftermatch of the fencing match onwards to go off the rails

Type of Badfic: Replacement Sue AU Badfic( because if you are going to change the twins' personalities, dialogue and a huge chunk of the plot of the movie, you might as well tag the thing as AU, which of course the author didn't.)

Plot Holes: Several lines and scenes are misplaced, such as the " I know how to fence and you don't or I have class and you don't, take your pick." Annie line, which she should have given in response to Hallie instead of completely breaking down.

The prank Hallie and her friends pulled on
Annie's cabin gets placed on the morning of the day after
the fencing match, when it only occurs after both the poker night and Annie pranking Hallie's cabin first.

Offenses Against Canon: Hallie gets Replaced and Annie is really OOC. The uncanocical behavior of the two of them causes Nick and Elizabeth come down to the camp, does skipping the whole twin switch which is arguably the whole
GLAURUNGING point of the movie.

Not mention several important scenes during the camp that skipped along with it, such as the poker night, the pranks and of course the time Hallie and Annie spent at the isolation cabin, which is the one thing allowed them to bond and want to join their families again.

Thus, despite what the title and summary claim, there are zero scenarios where I can see the happy ending of the movie happening in this thing.
