Jessica was beyond excited. In the days leading up to the RV trip, she barely shut up about it. Even as she boarded the RV Laura had procured for their adventure and took the shotgun seat, she could barely stop talking. It was a beautiful day in the City, and the weather reports for their destination in Southern New Jersey called for blue skies and sunshine. It would be perfect beach-going weather, and it was bound to be the perfect summer night!

[Elektra is switching off between stretching and pacing around. She would prefer to skip the break and get to the beach earlier but, there's no sense in complaining about it.]

[sweetvalleygirl]

[Jessica is emerging from the restroom, braiding the end of her ponytail as she walks. Not particularly paying attention, she manages to stumble into Elektra.]

Oof--! Er, my bad!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[She gives her look before softening. She was just a girl and it wasn't like she had any place to argue with anyone right now.]

It's fine.

[sweetvalleygirl]

[Jessica smiles, realizing she has no clue who this person is.]

I don't think I know you. I'm Jessica. Jessica Wakefield, not to be confused with JD.

[She extends a hand to shake.]

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Elektra. [She takes it, shaking back.] I'm new here.

Who is JD?

[sweetvalleygirl]

Nice to meet you, welcome to the insanity!

JD's the other Jessica. Jessica Drew, the brunette. She's shorter, and nerdier. But in a chic way, totally.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think I met her already. You wouldn't happen to be the friend who came up with the dastardly plot to get her to socialize, would you?

[sweetvalleygirl]

... Possibly. It's good to socialize, though! We all need friends!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[That look on her face is troubling.] Not necessarily. Some of us get by just fine without them.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Without friends? No way! Like the song says, [Singing now:] 'For good times and bad times, I'll be on your side forever more!'

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[She's singing to her.... what do people do in this situation...? Politely:]

... You have a lovely voice.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Thanks! I was in a musical one time!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

It really shows. Do people do that often where you come from? Singing in conversations.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Naw. I just like to sing.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Do you do it here? Aside from conversations.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Sometimes. I want to be famous, like a singer or an actress or something. Maybe Miss America.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Anything is possible. You're young and you have super powers. [a pause]

That is true, right? I heard about that when I got here but, nothing has happened to me personally.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Oh yeah, we all have superpowers.

[She takes a step back, closes her eyes, then-- *POP* a second, identical girl splits from the first. In unison, they say:]

It took me a month to figure out I could duplicate myself. Now I can make up to ten copies! Neat, huh?!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Elektra blinks. That was impressive to say the least.]

It is. You can be ten places at once. [She's too astonished to do anything beside state the obvious. Even Matt's mysteriously knowing where everything is and fighting on her level seems kind of small now.]

Is the copy as good as the original?

[sweetvalleygirl]

Yeah, I can!

[The Jessica's both laugh cheerfully before the first Jessica grabs the second and the duplicate is reabsorbed again.]

Well, the copies think they are the original me. They're hard to control, so I try not to let them wander too far.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Smart idea. You wouldn't want them to do anything drastic to prove they are the real you.

[sweetvalleygirl]

Fer sher! [She laughs, but it's a serious concern for her.] You don't know your powers yet?

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Whatever I have isn't obvious.

[sweetvalleygirl]

It takes awhile sometimes. Hey! Maybe you can duplicate yourself too!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Maybe. How do you do it exactly?
