*Karma's POV*

After receiving the confirmation text from Amy saying that all had gone well it was time for Rita and I to move on with the plan. All we have to do is get past my parents and we will be golden but as we step inside and my mother appears to greet us all that is running through my mind is, don't read her aura. As usual the universe is not on my side.

"Amy, it's been too long since I saw you last," My mother pulls Rita in for a hug and to her credit she wears the same awkward look as Amy usually does.

"Mom, you saw Amy yesterday?" I point out but my mother is looking at Rita with a strange look.

Oh no.

"Amy dear, your aura is all strange. Are you feeling okay?"

I immediately shoot a look at Rita but she has already slipped into character and it is as though she really is Amy.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just one too many rides at the fair, my stomach has been a little queasy," The response comes smoothly and my mother smiles at Rita with maternal concern, "Oh dear, we can't have that now can we? You two head on up to Karma's room and I'll bring you some herbal tea to help settle that stomach of yours."

"Thanks, that sounds great, Mrs A," Rita replies with a smile and lightly pats her stomach.

Thankfully it isn't long before we are up in my room and Mom has dropped off a cup of 'special remedy' tea. I did try and tell Rita that she didn't actually have to drink the tea but she was adamant on drinking it. She was polite enough to pretend to enjoy it but I recognized that Amy and Rita have very similar expressions and it wasn't hard to pick up on the unpleasant looks that crossed Rita's face as she forced down the tea.

"Well that was exhausting," Rita sighs as she collapses on the bed, finally giving up on the 'special remedy' Mom has dosed her with.

"I bet Katie is loving the improv though," she continues with a small smile.

"So how long have you and Katie been dating?" I ask, and she sits up in a hurry.

"We aren't dating," Rita responds a little too quickly.

"Really? You guys seem so close," I'm genuinely surprised to hear that they aren't together.

"Yes well, I could say the same thing about you and Amy," Rita replies and I'm slightly taken back.

"No, Amy and I are just friends, best friends but still," I reply and Rita eyes me with a look of sympathy that confuses me.

Rita shakes her head slightly as if to clear her head before she speaks again, "Katie and I aren't dating; we spend a lot of time together. More so since she broke up with her boyfriend but it's not like that, we are just friends as well."

"Is that all you want to be?" My question sparks something in her eyes but before she can respond my phone rings. Amy's face pops up on the screen and I bring the phone to my ear to answer it but I find that it isn't actually Amy after all.

"Karma, could you be a dear and put me on the phone to Margarita?" Katie asks in a sweet voice but I'm confused for a second.

"Margarita?" I repeat in confusion and Rita immediately looks up at me. "Oh," I mumble to myself when it clicks on and I turn the phone to speaker before holding it out towards Rita.

"You couldn't help yourself could you?" Rita asks in an exasperated tone.

"You know you love me," Katie replies lightly and I see Rita's smile slip for a second as i think back to our recent conversation.

It doesn't take Rita long to recover before she speaks again, "So what's up?"

"Oh right, it's the donut shirt, Rita. Amy is wearing the donut shirt," Katie exclaims, probably trying to contain her excitement but failing miserably.

"You are such a dork," Rita replies after rolling her eyes. I catch Rita's attention and mouth the words, the donut shirt but she just shakes her head and mouths back to me, never mind.

Katie must have switched her phone to speaker as well because I hear Amy mutter, "I didn't know my wardrobe choices were of such significance,"

There's a knock at my door and before I can react Rita has already switched the phone off of speaker and hidden it beneath a pillow.

"Karma sweetie, your father and I are off to the farmer's market but we probably won't be home until late. Are you girls going to be alright while we are gone?" Mom asks, poking her head in from the doorway.

"We'll be fine Mom, you and Dad have fun," I reply and she smiles before closing the door behind her again.

Rita reaches over to retrieve the phone and turns it back to speaker, "Margarita Volkovinskaya, if you don't answer the phone in the next three seconds," Katie's voice flows through the phone but Rita cuts her off smoothly.

"For the love of Kraft, will you stop using my full name? You don't hear me spouting off Katherine Mari Stevens every five seconds do you?" Rita asks, her tone is annoyed but having witnessed the interaction between Katie and Rita I doubt she will be annoyed for long.

"I like your name," I say and I can hear Amy's agreement through the phone,

"Yeah, it kinda makes you sound like a spy or something,"

Rita scowls but light-heartedly, "You guys all suck."

"Anyway, we all need to regroup and talk about her next course of action," I say after Rita has stopped scowling. "My parent's will be gone for quite a while so I think here is the best place at the moment.

"I agree but we need to stop by a convenience store or something, I need a new toothbrush," Katie replies.

"Is that really your highest priority?" Rita asks incredulously.

"You know how I feel about hygiene, and my other one is sitting in the hotel room we currently don't have access to.

"It's okay Katie, I'm sure Amy can take you to the store, right Aims?" I'm fairly certain Amy isn't going to refuse but she deliberates for a second anyway.

"Can I pick up some donuts?" Amy asks but I have no doubt she will get some regardless of what I say.

"Is my opinion going to deter you at all from buying donuts?" I respond and I can easily picture the smile on her face right now.

"Nope, we'll see you guys soon," Amy replies before hanging up.

"I kinda do feel like donuts now," Rita mumbles and I smile a little bit.

"She is going to end up buying half the store isn't she?" I ask, not even needing to mention Katie's name.

"Probably," Rita sighs before lying back down on my bed.
