Zoe was dumbfounded as the door swung open to reveal a clone of herself, sleepily rubbing her eyes. Well, almost a clone, the girl she was looking at was her with a few key differences. For one, the Zoe she was looking at had the light brown hair that was natural for her, instead of Zoe's dyed black hair. She also lacked Zoe's matching black nail polish, having a light pink shade instead. Finally the copy was wearing a baby blue nightie and fuzzy duck slippers that Zoe would never be caught dead wearing, even in the privacy of her own house.
"Who the hell are you and where's Jon?" Zoe demanded. The girl looked back at her and raised an eyebrow, "Good morning to you too sis. I have no clue who Jon is or where he's supposed to be, but if you brought a guy back from the Snake Pit moms are gonna blow a gasket. Also I'm obviously Juliet, you'd think you'd recognize your own twin." Zoe stared dumbfounded as the girl walked past her, seeing that Jon's room was also totally different.
"Since you're being weird, I'm gonna take the first shower!" Juliet shouted back over her shoulder as she stepped into the bathroom. Zoe shook herself and began stomping towards her mom's room to tell her about the mysterious doppelganger, when she was stopped in her tracks. Hanging in the hall were a collection of family photos, and almost all of them had changed. Jon had disappeared entirely, and instead there were two Zoes, or Zoe and Juliet dotted throughout. You could chart the twins from when they were kids dressed often in matching outfits to the point where they began developing their own styles. Zoe's descent into Gothdom was as she remembered it, but now it was contrasted by Jasmine who seemed to favor bubbly girly clothes in shades of pink and lavender.
The previous photos had also been curated carefully to omit Roger Gibson who'd left the family when Zoe was 8, but now even the odd arm or shoulder of his was gone. Instead there was a different woman alongside her mother in most of the pictures, including one of both women in wedding dresses, kissing at the altar.
"What the fuck?"
