Prologue

Simon George McDonald- Venturi looked at the search page of the computer screen. By searching his name on Google about 2,700 results came about but none of them were particularly pointing to him. That really meant that his face book page was invisible, finally.

He quickly switched to the images option and was surprised to see that the top two rows of images were filled with images of some random people and next few with those of his (very famous) brother. How Google worked will always be a mystery to him. What caught his attention was the last picture in the seventh row. It looked like his picture but the person standing next to him in the image was surely not known to him. He clicked on the image and was directly transported to a profile on face book.

He open up the images (the profile seemed public) and sifted through the first 50 or so of the 700 images available. The boy (he realized it was definitely not him or photo-shopped) in the pictures had an extremely uncanny resembles to him. They might have been twins he realized if there was not an exact three month age gap. The boy too was a big 'Derek Venturi' fan it seemed. Sifting through a few more images, Simon came to the conclusion that he had found his doppelganger.

The ten year old jumped up in excitement and ran to his sister's room next door.

"Smarti" he shouted as he banged opened the door to her room.

"Simon" the girl chided. Her hairs which were partially dyed into different shades of purple were tied up in a messy bun and she was dressed in her sweats."I just put off Dauphine to sleep, can you please be a little less noisy".

"Sorry" he shouted whispered, "but you got to come with me, I found my doppelganger"

"What?" Marti said confused.

Simon gave a sigh that reminded Marti of someone she would rather not think about. "Just come with me" he said.

Marti looked at her (half) brother and then simply got up and followed the jumpy boy to his room.

"Look, Smarti" he said pointing to the computer screen.

Marti's gaze landed on the screen and she almost lost her balance.

"Oh my god" Marti mumbled under her breath.

"I know" the boy said excitedly.

Yes, the boy in the photo was an exact copy of her younger brother but what had surprised her was the woman who was standing next to him in the photo.

She looked at the photo of a Casey McDonald, a girl she had not seen in last ten years. Someone who did not even knew that Simon was Simon.

She ran to the door and without a thought about the girl sleeping next door she shouted at the top of her voice "MOM".

There was a scrabble of feet and Nora's voice drifted from below the staircase. "Yes, Marti"

"Please come up, hurry up" Marti shouted her voice filled up with relief and excitement.

Nora hurried up the stairs; maybe something was wrong with Dauphine.

"Marti, is everything alright? Is it Daph" Nora voiced laced with worry.

Marti shook her head but before she could say a single word a voice rang from behind "mom I found my twin." Simon said

"What" Nora questioned confused looking at the screen her youngest son was pointing at and she too felt a bit breathless.

"His name is Steven, Steven George McDonald Venturi. He is Derek's fan. Look" Simon said, giddy with excitement.

The boy on the screen got Nora interest for a fleeting moment but she was entirely too focused on the image of her oldest daughter.

"Casey" she mumbled, tears escaping at the image of her.

"Who" Simon questioned confused and irritated by the fact that neither his sister nor mother was looking at Steven.

"Uhh" Marti mumbled words escaping her.

"That is Casey, Sim" Nora said in an adoring and loving voice, "she is your sister" she continued. A tearful was smile upon her face.

"But that is Steven's mother" Simon said.
