Book 1 is "Being of Two Minds".
I'm trying to remember two young adult novels from the mid 90s:
1) Book about an American teenage girl and a prince from a fictional European country. They secretly shared a psychic link since birth- once in a while, one of them would go into a trance, and see what was going on through the eyes of the other. Thus, they grew up as best friends and knowledgeable about each other's lives, even though they'd never met. One day, the prince tours America, and they finally meet. However, the prince gets kidnapped, and the girl has to tell her parents and the prince's handlers about their link and use the power to help locate him.
2. A book set 20 Minutes into the Future, about a brother/sister duo who made virtual reality games for a living. Their games are sabotaged to hurt people who play them, and they have to run from the law and prove their innocence. I remember they had to go into their latest (unfinished?) game, a generic horror/fantasy setting, and get to the end, but I can't remember why- maybe the saboteur was in the game? Another part I remember is that the brother and sister had discovered that you could erase a CD with a powerful electric shock, but kept the discovery a secret for some economic reason. The brother used his CD erasing/electric shock device to stun some thugs on the subway.
