The sound of sirens blared in the night. Geoffrey and Naomi frantically stood up.
"It's the cops! They must have called them over us!" Naomi screamed. "We should split up! I'll go this way, you go over there!"
Geoffrey started to run and pointed at his friend. "This is the last time I tag along on one of your gigs!"
"Piss off" she retorted, and ran the other way.

Geoffrey fled from the sirens, closer to the school. He found an open window in a wall that could belong to the school's gym. It was wide enough for him to fit through it. Geoffrey climbed up the wall and into the window, falling inside. Getting up, he looked around. He seemed to be in the girl's locker room. Just great, he thought. He had to hide somewhere. But first, he had to get rid of his more suspicious clothing articles. He took off his gloves and cap and threw them in the trash bin. Then, he climbed up to a locked stall door and jumped inside, looking back to see if he was being followed.
Inside, he found a girl tied up and gagged.
She seemed to be in panic, and tried to speak even if her words came out muffled. She stared at him with terrified eyes. Geoffrey lost no time in untying her and removing the gag from her mouth.

"Oh, thank you! I don't know how long I was tied up for!" the girl thanked him.
"Ah, no need to mention it. Are you feeling better? Who did this to you?" Geoffrey asked, with a worried smile in his face.
Suddenly the girl remembered something and gasped. "You won't believe this. It... it was a clone! An evil twin, or clone, or something like that! The person who attacked me was just like me!"
"Whoah whoah, calm down" the boy said, urging her to calm herself. "What do you mean, an evil clone?"
"The person who attacked me looked just like myself. She had the same face, the same hair, the same body... it was almost like she was an evil me! She lured me to this stall, placed something in my mouth and when I woke up, I was tied up and couldn't speak. She must still be out there-" Her eyes widened. "Oh gosh! If she's impersonating me... she could be doing bad things in my stead! We have to find her!"
The girl stood up, and walked out of the stall. But before she got far, though, she came to a halt and placed a hand on her head. She felt lighteaded, and started to sway back and forth.
Geoffrey rushed to her and grabbed a hold of her. "Whoa there" he said, "be careful not to pass out." Poor girl, he thought, she must have been drugged and hallucinated. I have to get her outside. "Come on, let's get some fresh air." He helped her walk outside.

Slowly, the two of them walked outside the gym, and left the school grounds. Geoffrey tried to find a spot away from the noise coming from inside.
"Alright, let's sit down over here." He helped the girl sit down in the curb, and followed suit. "OK, are you feeling better now?" he asked her.
"I am, thank you" she answered. "Thank you for worrying about me."
"Like I said, don't worry about it" he answered, with a much more confident smile in his face. "Hey, I just realized we don't even know eachother's names yet. I'm Geoffrey. What's your name?"
"Oh?" The girl also introduced herself: "I'm Janice."
"Janice? That's a pretty name", he replied.
Geoffrey stared at Janice's face, and their eyes met. They stared at eachother for some time.
All of a sudden, he looked away. "Oh, uh, I noticed you look pale. You should eat something." He reached for his pockets. "I don't have much for you to eat, but..."
Geoffrey pullet out a pink lollipop.
"...I do have this. It's sweet, so it will make you feel better." He handed it over to Janice.
"Aw, thanks" she said, and grabbed the lollipop. She promptly started to lick it. "Hmm, it tastes like strawberry! My favorite" she remarked.
"That's good to hear."

Geoffrey placed a hand over Janice's shoulder. "Hey, it's getting late for me, but-"
"Oh, you can leave if you have to" she spoke. "I'm fine, really. I feel much better than before."
"Oh no, I can't leave you here all by yourself!" The boy was clearly worried.
A new voice spoke from behind: "It's ok, she's with me."
Geoffrey turned around, and she saw a girl standing next to her. The little girl walked around Janice and stood in front of them. Janice instantly recognized her and started smiling.
"Who are you?" Geoffrey asked. "Are you a friend of Janice's? Do you know her?"
The little girl answered, placing a hand over Janice's shoulder. "My name's Phoebe. I'm Janice's friend, yes. I can take care of her."
Geoffrey looked at Janice in the eyes, trying to find an answer from her. "Yeah, she's my friend," Janice confirmed, "I'll be fine with her."
Geoffrey smiled at her. "Good, that's all I care about. I want you to promise me you'll be fine."
Janice smiled back. "I'll be fine, I promise you."
"Alright, then my work here is done. I have to get going. But it was nice knowing you, Janice. Hope we meet eachother again."
"Yeah, I hope so too."
The boy smiled faintly and stood up. He walked away, and in a few minutes the girls could not see him anymore.

Phoebe was smiling. Even a ruffian like Geoffrey, who had just tried to mug a couple, could have a heart of gold. She liked it when people showed their soft side. It made her feel glad.
Janice turned to her friend. "I wish Geoffrey could have stayed a little longer. He was so sweet to me. I think you would have liked meeting him."
Phoebe noticed something. Her friend was starting to fade out. Phoebe knew exactly why: she had licked the lollipop and was leaving this dimension. It was too late to prevent it from happening, but she couldn't let her friend notice it!
She placed a hand over her shoulder and murmured something. Suddenly, Janice was feeling drowsy. She yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Just in time for her to disappear completely.
Phoebe was smiling. It was almost over. There was just one thing left for her to do. She held her hands together and recited a few words. In her thoughts, she communicated the events that had just transpired to someone from the other universe.
When she was through, she looked up and smiled. Now she could relax.
