Melissa smiled as her master's plan had come to fruition. Now that she had done as he asked, the clone was sure that Jim would help her. After all, Jim had convinced her that as long as the plant cloned someone else, she would be safe from being hurt by it anymore. Anyway, she didn't know this girl and Jim had told her that better the plant duplicate this girl than her.
With that, Melissa smiled and hugged herself knowing she was safe and her master would take care of her.
In the corner, a naked woman lay curled in a fetal position; toes curled, hair covered in sap as the plant withdrew it's tentacles from her. The plant had done a much better job on Sharon's replica than it had on Melissa's. Sharon's clone had calluses on her feet and palms. She had a writer's hump on her index fingers. Unbeknownst to Jim, the copy even had a stylized script tattoo on her ankle that said "Jim" with a pair of small butterfly wings that the real Sharon had gotten only a couple of days ago that Jim had not noticed on the real Sharon as yet. As Jim helped his girlfriend into the bed room, he failed to see that the small of the Pod Sharon's back began to glimmer as it darkened and formed an exact duplicate of the Asian character for Love that Sharon had had tattooed there when she was 19 on a summer trip to Kyoto, Japan. The pod's taut stomach began to slightly ripple as the newborn's unnaturally tight skin began to sag into a slight pooch that the real Sharon has joined a gym 3 months ago hoping to lose. Three dots glimmered on the replica's body as her ear and navel piercing came into being. Her skin then shined a bit as freckles began to form, each matching its twin on the real Sharon's body.
As the detail work continued, the false Sharon's toenails even darkened to replicate the glittery nail polish Sharon had been painting her toenails before falling asleep waiting up for Jim. As a final touch, the clone's forehead began to redden as it formed a zit where Sharon had just had one break out the day before, down to the slightly dried out zit cream on top of it. This was an exact duplicate of Sharon as she had been minutes ago; there was no way one could tell the difference between the two.
As Jim finished helping the real Sharon to her bedroom. She turned to Jim.
"Baby, I love you so much. God knows what would have happened if you hadn't been here. I could've drowned in that tub. You're so good to me, sweetie. What would I do without you?"
"I don't know, sweetie. I can't get by without you either. Sometimes, I wish there were two of you."
"Kinky boy, you'd like that, huh?"
"Don't you know it?"
Sharon replied, "Honey, my throat is kind of dry. Could you go to the kitchen and get me a glass of water?"
"Sure."
With that, Jim left the bedroom and headed to the kitchen as Sharon stood up and went to the closet to get some clothes.
As this was happening, the replica Sharon stood up as the sap that Jim had dried off the Melissa clone apparently served to complete the transformation as this Sharon was indistinguishable from the original. A soft sucking sound emerged as the clone opened its hazel green eyes for the first time - a perfect match for Sharon's own and took a deep breath in to her lungs for the first time.
"What the ... how did I end up naked in the living room?" thought the Sharon clone. She looked down "Oh well, at least the nail polish dried. Where the hell is Jim, that guy has some explaining to do ..."
With that the clone Sharon grabbed a pair of slippers and headed towards her bedroom - unaware her original was looking for some clothes there at the same time.
