Ren and Ruby walked to the gym without trying to make too much noise. Ren
had washed the color completely out of her hair, removed all the fake
piercings, and removed the color contacts and the big earrings.
"Don't make any noise, I would like to work out in peace," Ren whispered as the walking into the gym. The gym was empty except for the noise of a treadmill two rooms away.
"See, no one's here . . .except one loser, but that's okay. Lets just work out," Ruby said sitting on a bike. Ren looked around and walked into the second room. Treadmills. The third room sounded like treadmills so Ren picked out one towards the back and pushed the on button. After fifteen minutes she grew bored and stopped. Ruby came walking in with another girl.
"Ren, this girl says that there is someone waiting to play racquet ball and they need a team to play against. Lets play!" Ren nodded and grabbed her bottle of water. Already inside the racquetball room a girl with goggles stood hitting the ball around.
"I'll go with her first," Ren said, being a master. The goggles were big and tinted. Ren could only see the girls brown hair pulled back and large goggles. Ren nodded towards her and they began. Ruby and the other girl sat and watched from the window.
"Ren is a master player, she beat all the boys at the YMCA in California," Ruby boasted about her teammate.
"Well Nicole entered the racquet ball tournament in Hawaii and won first place," the girl shot back. Ren kept hitting the ball and so did the girl. The girl was good, and Ren was good. Ren finally got so frustrated she hit the ball as hard she could and the ball bounced back and hit her opponent in the stomach, causing her to bend at the knees and fall over.
"Nicole!" the girl with Ruby screamed, but the door was locked from the inside. Ren slowly removed her goggles ad let her racquet fall to the ground. She gently kneeled next to the girl, taking off her goggles. When Ren removed the goggles she gasped. The girls' eyes began to flicker then opened. At once they both screamed.
"You didn't tell me that was Nicole Bunni!" Ruby said pushing the girl. The girl shrugged.
"I knew that your friend looked familiar.
"Who are you?" Nicole Bunni screamed.
"R-r-en. I live in California; I'm here on vacation. Who are you?" Ren asked, unsure what was going on. The girl began to laugh and stood.
"Nicole Nikki Bunni, my father owns the hotel," the girl said matter-of- factly.
"So you do look like me! Some guy on the plane started talking to me and thought I was you!"
"Wish I could say the same, but no one has ever mistaken me for a simpleton. What did you say your name was again?"
"Ren, as in Regina."
"Right . . ."
"Wow, this is so weird," Ren, said, reaching out to touch Nicole's face. Nicole stood and let Ren touch her face, then gave into curiosity and touched Ren's.
"Your skin, its so soft," Nicole said, knowing her skin was exactly the same.
"Yours too," Ren said moving up the bridge of Nicole's nose. For a moment they were lost in their own world, just feeling each other's skin, knowing that something wasn't right. Ruby stopped the silence by banging on the window.
"Hey, are we gonna get a chance or what?" Ren and Nicole picked up their things and left the room. Ruby and the girl entered and started playing right away.
"How could this be?" Ren asked. Her and Nicole were sitting in the gym's cyber café.
"Who knows . . .are you sure your dad is your dad?"
"Of course, I mean I'm like him in every way, and people say I look like him. What about you, are YOU sure your dad is your dad?" Nicole began to laugh.
"Of course! I'm just like him in everyway. We have the same habits, same likes and dislikes, even the same laugh. My mom died was I was little so I'm sure the guy I'm living with is my dad.
"Hmm, this is too weird," Ren said taking a sip of coffee.
"What does your mom look like?" Nicole asked, knowing how lucky Ren was to grow up with a mom.
"Here, she has a site," Ren said and typed in the site for her mom. When the picture came up, Nicole gasped.
"She has my eyes," Nicole said touching her eyes. They weren't brown, nor green, but a sort of rare in the middle color. Ren noticed they had the same nose and ears but didn't point it out.
"That's even weirder. Maybe I had an aunt I don't know about . . . my mom could have had a twin and she could have died!" Ren suggested. Ruby and the girl came into the café.
"We're going to our rooms," Ruby said with a yawn. Ren and Nicole nodded and looked back at the screen. Ren clicked the X out of the site and they just sat there.
"I have an idea! I can ask daddy!" Nicole said getting up and taking Ren by the hand. Ren dropped her coffee but Nicole assured her it was okay. They climbed into an elevator and Nicole put a small key in the keyhole next to TOP and pressed the button. The elevator jolted and Ren and Nicole grabbed onto each other. They let go and let out a small laugh. TOP ended up being the whole top floor of the hotel. Nicole stepped in and told Ren to follow her. In the kitchen sat a man with dark black hair and large brown eyes. Ren stopped in the door way and Nicole strode in.
"Hey daddy," Nicole said sitting at the table.
"Princess!" he said putting his paper down.
"Daddy, I want you to meet someone," Nicole said looking at Ren. The man smiled at his daughter and slowly turned around to face Ren. His smile instantly went away and he stood.
"REGINA!"
