A/N: Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you for checking my story out! As of right now: 106 hits! I just wish I had more reviews, but I'm still just ecstatic that OVER ONE HUNDRED people have taken an interest in this little old story! So thank you SO much for just checking it out! The power of Todd, huh? (haha)

Anyway, a few things I wanted to mention: I forgot to say that when I put words in CAPS, that means that the character/actor/actress would emphasize that word or phrase. Also, I know I'm inconnsistent with the tenses, but I'm not really editing that. I may go back and fix it eventually, but I just want to get the story itself down.

I also wanted to start something with this chapter: music! I love music, and I would love to incorporate it into the story. I think for each chapter I'll pick at least one song that you could maybe play in the background as you read; a song I think fits the tone of the chapter. Or I could put in the link at the point I think you should start playing it. Also, I might repeat songs; it just depends on what I think fits the chapter. Anyway, I have a great song to fill in for chapter one and I don't really want to go back and edit it so, THIS is the song I think you should play along with chapter 1: Y O U T U B E .com/watch?v=Ln_D61tq_zk&feature=related

So, finally, here is just a small update, I'm still working on the next one, but summer vacation's almost here and then I can have more time to spend writing! Then I should be able to post more. So, here's chapter 2!


Chapter Two

Blair realized that she and Starr needed to talk about whatever this was alone. This seemed like very important matter, and she didn't want to offend James, but she figured it might be best if he left them alone right now. Starr still hadn't confessed to what happened.

Blair- Uh, James, would you mind giving us a minute?

James- Sure, um, you know I think I better go actually. This is between the two of you.

James got up to leave, not realizing he was still holding Starr's phone.

Blair- James, I'm assuming that pink phone in your hand isn't yours.

James- Oh, right. Sorry.

He turned back around at the sound of his name. He handed Starr her phone back, feeling like an idiot for forgetting he was holding it. Then, he proceeded to leave, but not before taking one last glance back at Starr, hoping she would be alright. They had no idea what was going on right now, but he had a hunch things were about to get much more...exciting in Llanview pretty soon. Back in the living room, Blair tried to make conversation with Starr. The first step was just to get her to say something.

Blair- So, uh, you got the new phone, huh? It- it's nice...Starr, come on, we can't talk if you won't tell me what's going on.

*****Y O U T U B E .com/watch?v=sh5M3BPyNjM*****

Blair desperately looks over Starr's face, while Starr's eyes remain on the carpet.

Blair- PLEASE sweetie, just talk to me...We could start by just talking about why you and James were looking at this picture.

Starr had forgotten the album was still on her lap. She looked at it again, and then placed it on the coffee table. She slowly turned to her mother as she lightly bit her bottom lip.

Starr-...(quietly) I told James about dad's surgery, about his old face...I was just showing him what dad used to look like.

Blair- Okay, but why would that upset you sweetie? Your dad is still here...Oh, is that what it is? Were you just thinking about what could've happened if your daddy hadn't have been okay after he was shot? Is that it?...Well it's okay. He's okay, he's gonna be fine Starr.

Starr- No mom, that's not it.

Blair- Well, then what? I'm really trying here, Starr, you have to let me in a little bit here. As well as I know you, I still can't read your mind. PLEASE tell me what you're thinking about.

Starr- Fine! Fine, you wanna know what I'm thinking about? I'm thinking about THIS.

Starr plays her video once again, and pauses it at just the right place, she shows her mother the camera, and she stares, befuddled. She grabs the phone out of Starr's hand to get a better look.

Blair- Starr, what is this?

Starr- That's what I'd like to know!

Blair looks at Starr, expecting an explanation. Starr notices and begins to explain.

Starr- James and I were in the park, I was just messing with the video camera on the phone, and as I was recording, I happened to see that on the screen. Then, I just freaked out. James didn't understand why I was so upset, so he tried to get me to open up to him, and I did. But I was still upset, so he took me home, and when we got back here, I pulled out that album to show him what dad used to look like, and to justify my stupid outburst.

Blair- So this was just some stranger you caught video of in the park? Today?

Starr- Yeah. Now do you understand why I'm so freaked? I feel like I just saw a ghost.

Blair could empathize with that feeling, but she still tried to comfort Starr and ease her mind.

Blair- ...Well maybe it's just the angle of the camera, or-or the lighting or something.

Starr- Really mom? Really? Lighting can give some guy the exact same scar dad had? In the exact same place?

Starr finally got up off the couch and started to pace a little bit, then momentarily covered her face with her hands in exasperation.

Blair- Well, I don't know, what do you expect me to say? This is freaking me out a little bit too...I mean they say everyone has a double out there, but this could be an identical twin.

Starr- That still doesn't explain the scar, or why he was clearly trying to hide his face.

Blair- ...(weakly) I know.

Starr- ...So what are we supposed to think about this?

Blair- ...Nothing. We think nothing about this. For all we know, this really is just your dad's doppelganger.

Starr- Oh please! Do you honestly believe that? This is LLANVIEW mom! There's gotta be more to the story! And I'm betting anything that this isn't the last time we're gonna see that face.

At that, Starr storms off, and up the stairs.

Blair- Starr-

Blair tries to call after her, but remains in the living room, still holding Starr's phone, somewhat hypnotized by the image shown on the screen.

Blair- (whispering) Doppelganger, my butt...Who the HELL are you?


A/N: I know it was short, I'm sorry. So you know the routine. PLEASE let me know what you thought!
