She took another sip of her drink. "But, not really being human or even biological in the carbon-based sense, I don't have to eat, drink or sleep to survive. So I didn't really [i]need[/i] money. And public libraries are free," she finished happily. "That's pretty much me in a nutshell...so I guess it's your turn again! So...do both of you think that the other is the doppelganger? Or is it just a mutual acceptance that you are each others' doppelganger? And can you ever exist at the same time? Sorry for all the questions...I've never met someone with a doppelganger before."

[i]I can't [u]believe[/u] Ara is still talking to me,[/i] Carmen thought to herself. [i]I'm probably really annoying when I'm drinking alcohol. ...But oh well, if he stays he stays, and I have someone to talk to. Everyone wins! But mostly just me.[/i]

[i]That made sense.[/i]
