Well, the brilliant people have found a way to get people like me to stop writing long author notes at the beginning. Authors can now reply to signed reviews, as I'm sure you're all aware. So don't be surprised when I respond to you. I take it upon myself to ensure that my reviewers know they're appreciated…

Anyway, thank you all for the lovely reviews… grazie… grazie…

Phil walked up to his room, and looked out his window, and noticed something odd.

He was sitting in Keely's room, as he stood in his own.

"Pim…" he muttered, and ran downstairs, to Keely's house.

Phil was almost at Keely's door before he realized that he couldn't barge in when everybody there had just seen him barge in earlier. He couldn't risk this kind of security breach. No… he had to think of another way to get there. But… how?…

He walked down the walkway just as Ashley pulled up to the house.

"Hey, Phil," she said to him, and he returned the gesture as she walked into the house, and up to Keely's room. She poked her head in and said, "Listen, I got that CD you wanted, so… hey Phil."

"Thanks," Keely said, taking the CD, as Phil's clone returned the gesture.

Ashley made to shut the door, but stopped, looking at the Phil clone. "Didn't I just--"

"Huh?" the clone asked.

"Weren't you--"

"Nope."

"But I--"

"No."

"You just--"

"I'm still here, aren't I?"

Ashley didn't argue any further.

But the Phil clone knew what was going on. "Keely… on second thought, maybe we could just have dinner here?"

"Uh, sure Phil. Whatever."

Meanwhile, at his house, Phil sat on his bed, pondering how he could go about getting Keely to realize that she was with his clone. Obviously, marching into the house was out of the question.

But this left an interesting predicament…

An idea struck him, and he ran downstairs. However, in the place of the phone was a peeled banana. Phil, though, didn't notice this until after he picked it up and put it to his ear.

"Sorry, bro," Pim said. "I just want to see what happens. It's a science project."

"How about a science project that finds out how far somebody's ears can stretch before they separate the body?"

Pim looked at the manic glint in Phil's eye and retreated to her room.

I'm from the future… I should be able to get into her house undetected…

Deciding that was just what he needed, he gathered a few gadgets, and went to the side of her house. He applied the invisible spray, then used the personal gravitators to get onto the roof. He noticed that Ashley's window was cracked open… unfortunately, he couldn't open it further, since she was sitting in the room.

Though he had no other choice, since all the other windows were shut and locked, and he couldn't find the device that slowed the molecular activity so much that one could simply pass through an object. He was fairly sure Pim had something to do with that…

So, he shrunk himself down, and slid through the crack the window left open, and onto the sill.

He jumped down onto her bed, and climbed down onto the floor.

Finally, he made his way to the door, which was also just barely open. He got out, and turned off the shrink ray, so he was his normal height of 5'6".

Phil turned around and saw Bonnie walking down the hall. She stumbled over a bag leaning against the wall, and Phil instinctually caught her before she fell to the ground. He set her on her feet, and then a look of confusion spread across her face, and Phil realized his mistake. He almost opened his fool mouth, but caught himself before he did. Instead, he slowly backed down the stairs as Bonnie slowly walked to her room, still bewildered over what had happened.

Phil came to the foot of the stairs, and there they were, sitting at the table…

Review... it's the new craze...
