*Amy's POV*
"We really need to get out of here guys," Rita says, her attention focused on Katie, whose lips are starting to turn blue.
"Slight problem, how are we going to get out of here without people noticing we managed to snag a few clones," I point out and Rita's face falls when she realises I have a point.
"Another problem, all of our stuff was in our hotel room. If we aren't in the real Austin anymore than we can't really find a hotel that doesn't exist here," Katie pipes up; despite her intense shivering. The poor girl really did cop the brunt of the rain, Karma and I were already inside when the storm hit so we managed to stay dry. From what I gathered Rita managed to get to shelter a lot faster than Katie did, so she was relatively dry as well.
"I have an idea," Karma says suddenly.
"Of course you do," Rita mumbles under her breath and Katie giggles a little bit. Karma is undeterred though as she turns to the two girls in front of her.
"You guys up for a little acting?"
Here we go
It wasn't long before Karma's plan was in motion and I have to admit, it's a solid plan. Upon reaching my front door I turn to Katie as she composes herself, "You ready for this?"
Katie just nods and I take a breath before opening the door, it doesn't take long for my mother to appear, "Amy, I thought you and Karma were going to be staying at her place tonight?"
Before I can respond Katie speaks, "Oh we were Mrs Raudenfeld, but then that storm came out of nowhere, and we didn't want to be out any longer than we had to so we thought it would be better to come here,"
I'm taken back by the sudden change, Katie was gone, and in her place was a replica of Karma that was so accurate it was damn near frightening. Everything about her screamed Karma, her voice, and the way she had just enough attitude that she didn't seem like a kiss ass, yet polite enough that she didn't get kicked out of my house. She even rambled accurately; damn this girl is good at her job.
"That's reasonable I suppose, just make sure you clean up the mess you are making, you too are dripping all over the place," Farrah replies and eyes the ever increasing puddle on the floor with distaste before leaving to go about her business once again. Hurrying up the stairs I lead the way to my room and as soon as we are inside Katie drops the facade, it is soon replaced by an excitement that can only be Katie.
"That was so exhilarating, I've never done improv like that before," Katie gushes, sounding giddy.
"Whoa, calm yourself, it's just my mom. She's hardly a difficult person to fool," I hold my hands out in front of me, trying to anticipate her next move.
"Yeah, you're right. I really need to get out of these wet clothes though," Katie replies as she walks over to my drawers and searches for some clothes. It doesn't take her long before she finds some of the clothes Karma leaves for sleepovers, happy with her discovery Katie walks towards the bathroom and before long I hear the shower start up. As soon as Katie starts singing in the shower it occurs to me that her is another difference between Karma and Katie, their singing voice is different. Karma's is smooth and sweet but Katie's is confident and powerful, it's easy to see she has worked her voice where as Karma is more of a private performer. I have no doubt this girl could perform for thousands if she wanted to. While Katie is in the shower I quickly change out of my clothes and into some sweats and my donut shirt before lying down on my bed.
Before long Katie emerges from the bathroom and walks over to collapse on the bed beside me, a thought crosses my mind and I roll on my side with my head propped up on my hand.
"Aren't you worried?" I ask, searching her face.
"Worried about what?," Katie's face scrunches up slightly in confusion and every now and then I see hints of Karma.
"That I'm going to get carried away in how much you look like Karma and try and jump you in a lust fuelled craze or something," my response causes Katie to laugh at me in surprise,
"Relax sweetie, just because I look like Karma doesn't mean I am her. I doubt you will try and jump me because you know it's Karma you want and not me. Besides, you're underage, even if you did jump me I wouldn't let it get that far," Katie replies once she has finished laughing.
"Wait, what do you mean I'm underage, aren't you guys the same age as us?" I ask, thoroughly confused now.
"Oh god no, I'm 21 and Rita is 23," Katie replies and I respond with the first words that come to mind,
"Well shit,"
Katie continues, "All of the main cast are in their 20's actually, Michael, Gregg, Bailey, Rita, and I,"
My face must display my confusion because Katie speaks again, "Oh right, crap, you don't know who any of them are. Let me try that again, Shane is portrayed by Michael Willett, awesome dude by the way. Liam is portrayed by Gregg Sulkin, super nice guy with pillow lips and a British accent. Which leaves Lauren, portrayed by Bailey Buntain, she's an adorable little munchkin, polar opposite of her character."
"Huh," I mumble in response, taking in the new information. Katie looks at me with slight concern in her eyes, "How you doing? I know it's a lot to take in,"
"I'm okay, I just have a few questions," I respond and she visibly relaxes.
"Go for it," Katie encourages and I take a breath before going for it.
"What's going to happen with Karma and me?" Katie's eyes soften before she responds,
"I wish I could tell you sweetie, but I really don't know. None of us do, the writers haven't finished the scripts for Season 2 yet and let's just say that trying to explain Season 1 is too difficult to even attempt,"
My face falls a little but Katie continues, "What I can tell you though is that she really does love you. Maybe not the same way just yet but you need to keep in mind that she is just a 15 year old girl. Karma is still trying to figure her life out, not everyone is as lucky as you are Amy. You've found yourself already; Karma needs time to do that on her own,"
I nod my head because I know Katie is right, "I just have one more question,"
"Shoot," Katie replies and I can't hold back my smile as I ask,
"Pillow lips?"
Katie laughs a little bit before replying, "Yeah, Gregg has pillow lips, Rita too actually. I guess by default, you do as well,"
An idea crosses my mind and i pull out my phone before texting Karma,
'Hey Karms, what's it like kissing me and Liam?'
'Hmm, you both kind of have pillow lips actually.'
It takes her a few minutes to respond but when she does I can't help but laugh a little and I show Katie, causing her to giggle a little bit as well.
