The next morning, Joy awoke, still thinking about Daphne. She couldn't understand it. Why was she so obsessed with this woman she'd never even met? The resemblance was remarkable, there was no doubting that. But what difference did it make? Still, she took her laptop downstairs and returned to Daphne's Facebook page. She sat looking the pictures when the others came down for breakfast.
Melanie was the first to arrive. "Wow, who is that?" she asked, looking over Joy's shoulder.
"Her name's Daphne Moon Crane. I was looking for guys in Seattle, and I came across her profile. Spooky, isn't it?"
"She could be your twin!" Melanie exclaimed. "That's incredible. Are you going to contact her?"
"Sure. 'Hi, we've never met, but we look almost identical.' Yeah, that sounds normal!"
"Well, you don't have to put it that way exactly," Melanie replied. "You could tell her what you just told me, that you came across her profile and were surprised at the resemblance. Whoever this woman is, she seems like a nice person. What can it hurt?"
Joy sighed. "I suppose you're right." Just as she was about to send Daphne a message, Victoria and Elka came downstairs.
"Joy, what are you doing?" Elka asked. "Did you get a second Facebook just so you could talk to yourself?"
"No! This is a woman who happens to live in Seattle. She looks just like me, doesn't she?"
Elka leaned in closer, then looked at Joy again. "I think I like her better," she said, pointing to the screen.
"You would," Joy replied. "I'm going to send her a message."
"No, wait!" Victoria exclaimed. The other three looked at her, confused by her outburst. "You don't know anything about this woman. For all we know, she could be a member of some secret organization out to steal your fortune." When the others continued to look at her in disbelief, she added, "Need I remind you how many times Honor St. Raven had her identity stolen? It happened three times in the same season!"
Joy rolled her eyes. "You do understand that that didn't actually happen, right?"
"Mock soaps if you must, but I did win an Emmy, did I not?"
"Well, in spite of the risk to my identity, I'm going to send her a message," Joy said. She began typing. "Hi, my name is Joy Scroggs. I know this is going to sound a little strange, but I was searching on here for people in Seattle because my roommates and I are planning a trip. And when I came across your picture, I couldn't believe it. We look so much alike! Well, I just figured I'd send you a message. I'll understand if you don't reply, but I had to at least say hello!" After reading her message over several more times, Joy hit the Send button. Now, all that was left was to wait, and hope Daphne didn't think she was completely crazy.
