Kimberly showed them to the stairs, which spiraled up into the second level. This floor was a long hallway with three doors, that stretched to another set of spiral stairs that went even higher.

The teenagers recalled Kimberly saying the first door on the right led to the patio, so they went to the first door on the left.

Jasmine opened it, leading to a large office room. There was a large working desk covered in papers and binders, infront of a large bookcase full of dictionaries, textbooks and encyclopedias. The hardwood floor was polished and shiny, reflecting the light of a computer, sitting on a desk to the right. There was only one window; a large one on the far left wall.

They left the room and proceeded to the next door across from them; it was just a bathroom. It was very nice, though. It was large, clean, and had a large jacuzzi in the back.

The two then climbed up the second set of spiraling stairs to the top floor.

This floor was one large, circular room with about five doors evenly spread around it. However, there was something in the middle of this room...

A spherical, clearly mechanical object was levitating over the center of the room. Jasmine gasped when she first saw it.

Along with it's main part, two smaller spheres circled around it, like two tiny versions of it. What's more, the thing was giving off tiny holograms of rectangles around it, making it look even more creepy.

The thing turned, it seemed, as it must've noticed the two somehow. The smaller spheres seemed to rotate around it faster.

Luckily, Kimberly walked up the stairs, "Oh, you're up here? My office door was open, so I thought you were there!" She paused. "Oh! I see you've met Sparky."

"What is that thing?" Gers asked. "It's incredible!"

"It's a Rezbit," Kimberly explained. "It's a prototype. A man in Katrina told me he was assigned to make about twenty of them for some people. This was the fourth one he made. I stole it, and then named it Sparky."

"Wow, that's..." Jasmine started. "Something."

"PINK! MAX!" Kimberly called. Sparky flew past the three, zipping down the stairs. Then, out of one of the doors, a woman who looked exactly like Kimberly stepped forward, holding some sort of deranged, evil plant.

"No!" Kimberly wagged her finger. The second Kimberly looked down, sadly, and then turned, suddenly, into a pile of pink jelly.

"Oh my God!" Jasmine exclaimed.

"What is that?" Gers asked loudly.

"That's Pink!" Kimberly answered. She crouched down, and the blob rolled to her, and Kimberly picked it up. "She's a shapeshifter."

"Where the hell do you get these things?" Jasmine asked. She backed away.

"Careful!" Kimberly exclaimed. "You don't want to back up into Max... He'll bite you!"

Jasmine turned, to see the large plant sitting in it's pot. It had a really skinny, flimsey stem, with big, green leaves and a very large head. It had fangs; they were clearly visible. "Thanks."

"I created both Pink and Max," Kimberly said. "I don't want to tell you how, though. Secrets."

"Ah," Gers nodded.

"Anyhow," Kimberly said. "You can choose your bedrooms. Not the master bedroom, though. That's mine. And the closest door on the left is the creatures, so don't choose that. The bathroom is on the far right, and downstairs. Were you two in my computer room?"

"Yes," Gers nodded.

"Like it?"

"How did you make all the money for this gorgious house?" Jasmine asked.

"Simple!" Kimberly exclaimed. "I'm a bounty hunter!"
