Chapter 2
"I cannot believe you live in Paris," the tiny brunette nipping at her heels twittered. "That is like SO cool," Tiffany chattered. Twirling a brown curl around her finger and pausing for only a second before bubbling on. Josie pushed her glasses back further on her nose and leaned in close to Emma's ear and whispered. "She reminds me of my stepmother's toy poodle Zsa Zsa," she deadpanned. Emma raised a hand to her mouth. Trying desperately to stifle her giggles. Failing horribly when Tiffany joined in their laughter. COMPLETELY clueless.
"Ugh! What is that stuff?" Emma said. Turning her nose up at the mysterious blob on her plate as they looked for a table. "Better not to ask questions," Josie said. Taking a seat by the window. "Where's Tiffany?" Emma asked curiously. "Here I am," Tiffany called. Plopping down in the seat beside her. Emma's eyes were drawn to the gigantic orange spot on Tiffany's white camp tee. Josie just shook her head and mouthed "KLUTZ".
"Ouch!" Emma exclaimed rubbing her head. "Somebody threw something at me!" she said. Turning around in her seat. Blue eyes flashing fire. Tiffany looked at her with wide hazel eyes. "You've never eaten in a lunchroom before, have you? The kids at my school throw stuff at me all the time," she said. "Hey, look," she grinned. "It was a biscuit," she said. Picking the rock-hard item out of Josie's plate and putting it into hers. "Tell me you aren't going to eat that," Emma gagged. "Yeah," Tiffany replied. Mouth full. "So what? It's not like it fell in the floor or anything."
Josie grinned knowingly as Emma's olive complexion paled. And twirled her finger around her head. Emma smiled and looked down at her plate. Oh well, she sighed. At least it wasn't her mom's cooking. She felt a wave of homesickness wash over her as she thought about all the times her uncle Ethan had teased her mom about her seriously lacking qualities in the kitchen. She decided then and there she was going to write her mom a letter as soon as they got back to their cabin.

Anne blinked her blue eyes in disbelief. There she was. The same girl from yesterday. Leia's double. Her mind raced with the possibilities. Then she gulped as a thought hit her. What if the girl was Leia's long-lost evil twin? She scurried off after Kelly and Leia. Suddenly afraid the girl she'd been staring at for the last 2 minutes was going to get up from her seat and chase her. Maybe even...it was too horrible to think about.
"Anne? What's wrong?" Leia asked. Concern in her blue eyes. "She's probably afraid the gunk on her plate is going to start moving. Have you guys ever seen the Blob?" Kelly asked. Shuddering as she washed down her food with a huge swig of milk. Leia laughed. She and her dad had watched that once. With her aunt Theresa. She thought it was the silliest thing, but her aunt Theresa was scared out of her wits. She worried about her sometimes.
"So...what are we going to do next?" she asked. Picking at the questionable concoction on her tray. Oh what she wouldn't give for some of her grandmother's cooking. Her mouth watered just thinking about it. She wrinkled her nose in disgust and pushed the plate away. And engaged in one of her favorite pastimes. People watching. She loved making up wild stories about their lives. Her dad would always get this wistful smile on his face. Like she reminded him of someone. She wondered if she made him think of her mother.

"Lo-Fitz? Hey Leia? Where'd you go, girl?" Kelly asked with a grin. "Hold on. I bet I can guess. Thinking about your to-die-for Dad. I'm telling you. He's a major..." "I know. You already told me," Leia said. Holding her hands up to her ears. "Am I going to have to listen to this the whole 8 weeks?" Kelly giggled and rose from her seat. Carrying her tray to empty it in the garbage. "Let's make a deal. You have any extra pictures of your dad?" "Why?" Emma asked in confusion. Anne rolled her eyes and followed them. Her mouth dropping open when Leia and the 'evil twin' came thisclose to crashing into each other. She released the breath she was holding in relief when disaster was averted. For the time being. As Leia stepped out of the other girl's path. She hurried away when the girl following closely on the 'evil twin's' heels tripped and the people in front of her toppled like dominoes. "Tiffany!"
