The blob-creature that had been Jim and for now was flawlessly impersonating Jim' s pretty neighbor Felicia decided to see what it was capable of, so as Felicia's Mom gave what she thought was her daughter a consoling hug, the Jim-blob writhed and transformed so that when the women separated they were identical, down to the clothes and the expressions on their faces: both Felicia's Mom Cassie. Cassie took it pretty well, and said, "Lissy, why are you me?"
"Oh, sorry, Mom," said the duplicate Cassie. "It just seemed... my body just seemed to want it, want to be just like yours! I couldn't help it, honest! How can I live a normal life if I can't control this, this changing?" Cassie was ready to deliver another consoling hug, but saw her duplicate straighten up and put on a brave expression. "No, no, I'm all right, Mom," she said. "Maybe it just takes practice. And at least you've -- we've, I guess -- still got a nice body. Nice bodies. Whatever. I feel great considering I'm not me!"
"I've always wanted to have an identical twin sister," said Cassie, "but this is, well, so weird, Lissy!"
