Caty and Liz spent the night together. Liz snuck in the house through her bedroom window. They weren't sure how they were going to explain to their parents that Liz was alive or if they even would. At least not until they figured things out with the other clones. If at least one of them was trying to kill her then it was safe to assume that Liz would now be a target now that she betrayed them. Caty wasn't sure how she felt about all of this. She wasn't really concerned about the fights she had coming up. She was used to fighting. She's been a fighter her whole life and she was not going to lose to some cheap imitation of herself. But that was the thing. When she looked at this version of Liz, it was strange. She didn't feel or sound like a clone. It was like she had Liz's soul within her. Could that really be possible? Was this her Elizabeth Allan reincarnated? She honestly hoped so, but there was a part of her telling her that it was just simply too good to be true. That Liz was just going to be taken from her again the moment she got too comfortable.

They snuck out early that morning and decided to go to Luna Park at Coney Island. It was Liz's suggestion. She felt that Caty needed to relax and try and have fun for a while. They had until Christmas until the clones were supposed to attack and if they did attack earlier there was no way they'd do it out in a public place in the daytime. At least she hoped they wouldn't. But these were versions of Caty who didn't have inhibitions.

The two girls were actually having fun for the first time in a long time. Caty actually smiled a few times, but tried to hide the fact whenever she caught Liz looking. They went ice skating, rode the carousel, and an awkward romantic ride on the ferris wheel before doing the Sky Chaser obstacle course. This was Caty's favorite part. That was until she was kicked from behind. Liz was in front of her and turned to catch her before the two looked up to see her clone.

Wow. She really was hot. Caty wanted to get piercings just like those, but knew her mom would kill her if she ever did. And that haircut? She wanted that exact one, because she knew she'd be able to show off her piercings with it. This clone really was her, but did any and everything she wanted to do with no hesitation. No wonder she couldn't wait until Christmas. But Caty could tell from the kick. This wasn't the one that was trying to kill her. She was the one that wanted to prove she was better. Likely the same one tracking her down with spiders.

[color=E137E3]"Are you insane? We can't fight here!"[/color] Caty exclaimed, regaining her composure.

[color=990099]"Says who?"[/color] Caty's clone asked before blowing and popping a bubble of gum.

"Hey, no fighting!" One of the attendants said to them.

Caty glanced towards the attendant with an "I told you so" expression. But she knew that wasn't going to stop the Caty in front of her. She broke her harness, releasing herself from its restraint. She jumped down to a level below jumping in front of a black boy. She was startled by how attractive he was. She never thought piercings would look that great on a guy. Her cheeks turned red as she brushed her hair out of her face. [color=E137E3]"I'm sorry. Kind of running from a psycho."[/color] As if on cue her clone dropped down behind her. [color=E137E3]"See? Excuse me a moment."[/color]

Caty turned her head to the right, but swung her body around to the left to catch her with a surprise kick to the side. Her kick landed sending her clone falling down another level, but catching herself before she could hit the ground. Caty guessed right. If her spidey-sense didn't work on her clone then her clone's wouldn't work on her either. She followed her clone and said, [color=E137E3]"If we're doing this, we're doing it my way."[/color] Caty parkoured off the platform to make it appear as if she wasn't a superhuman and was just a talented street gymnast and ran through the crowd.

Her clone grumbled in annoyance and jumped down to follow her not concerned about putting on a show of humanship. 

Liz and the boy were both left alone confused on their platforms. Liz decided to get down the attraction the right way and followed the two into the crowd once she was down. She wasn't concerned for Caty. No matter who or what came her way she could and would handle it. She was her hero, after all.
