I know this story is jumping around a lot, but as soon as I get a few more things in, it'll be more of a story, I promise! I'm just bad with fitting things together. I'm working on it!

Vlad flew through the Ghost Zone looking for Skulker. He hadn't been able to find him for the last few days. His PDA was turned off for some reason, and he wasn't anywhere near his lair.
He heard a blast below him and saw Skulker fall to the ground. He flew down to ask him where he'd been the past few days, but before he could even get to him, someone blasted him even further away. He looked to his right to see who it had been, and his eyes widened.
It was like looking into some backwards mirror. She looked just like him, only she was a girl. Her hair didn't stand up, it was in a long ponytail, but the rest of her looked pretty much like Vlad. Same suit, same blue face and red eyes, same pointed teeth.
She stopped blasting at Skulker when she saw him. They both just stared, dumbstruck, for a moment. Until Skulker blasted her back into one of the doors. She looked back at Skulker and resumed attacking him. Vlad flew over to them and blasted the girl away. He dragged a very beat up Skulker back through his portal and closed it.
"What was that all about?" he asked as Skulker managed to sit in a chair in the corner of the lab. "Who is that?"
"That," said Skulker sounding very tired "is Jay."
"Jay? Why was she attacking you?"
"I have no idea. She's been attacking random ghosts all week. That's why you haven't been able to contact me." He held up his wrist to show that his PDA was completely destroyed.
There were multiple other questions Vlad wanted to ask that he doubted Skulker could answer. Like, who was she, other than "Jay"? Why did she look like him? Where could he find her?
Skulker looked over at the Ecto-skeleton. "I see you've made some progress."
Vlad wasn't listening. He was still trying to figure out how Jay could look just like him, even though he'd never seen her and she'd never seen him. Skulker waved his hand in front of Vlad's face.
"What?" Vlad asked in frustration.
"You spaced out. Are you ok?"
"Look who's asking." said Vlad pointing to the multiple dents in Skulker's suit.
Skulker laughed. "Good point. Mind helping me?" They spent the rest of the day repairing Skulker's suit. Once Skulker had left, Vlad waited a few minutes, then went back into the Ghost Zone. He flew back to where he'd found Skulker and began looking around.
"I was hoping you'd come back." came a voice from behind him. He spun around just to be blasted into a wall. Someone pinned him to the wall by his shoulders. He looked up to see a very mad looking Jay.
"You took my punching bag earlier. Want to be a replacement?" Vlad shook his head. "Then you're gonna tell me who you are and why you look like me!"
She took one of her hands off his shoulders and held it up threateningly as it began to glow pink.
"Fine, fine." he said quickly. "I'm Vlad Plasmius, and why we look alike is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you."
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" she asked.
"Unless you happen to have a lie detector with you, you'll just have to trust me."
She glared, but lowered her hand. She let Vlad down and he rubbed where her hand had held him down.
"Thank you. Now, would you mind telling me-" He looked up around to see that she'd disappeared. He sighed and flew back to his lab to work a bit more on the Ecto-Skeleton.
