"6 Humano Morphs What Would We Do Without Jill v1.0" - читать интересную книгу автора (Spenser M D)

Had she accidentally killed her best friend?

"Oh, no! What have I done?" the new Molly cried. She turned, frantically unlocking the bathroom door. "Molly!"

But just as the new Molly opened the door to run to her friend's room, the old Molly darted down the hall towards the bathroom to see why Jill had shouted her name.

They ran smack into each other Ч then stood in amazement, nose to nose.

For a second, they looked into each other's eyes. Then the truth struck them at the same instant.

"Aaaaahh!" they shrieked.

They stopped and looked at each other again, in complete shock. They stared for a moment, as if looking into a mirror. Then they shrieked again.

"Aaaaah!"

"Shhh!" the new Molly urged, pushing the old Molly into the bathroom. "Your mom and dad will wake up. We've got to be quiet!"

The new Molly locked the door as the old Molly shook her head in disbelief.

"Jill? Is that you?" the old Molly asked at last. "What happened to you? Is this some kind of trick?"

"I don't know what happened. And I don't know who I am!" Jill said. "I was just thinking about you, Mol. I was thinking how much I admire you and how great it must be to have your life. And then I opened my eyes and I looked like this. Like you!"

They heard footsteps in the hallway.

"Girls?" Molly's father asked. "We heard someone yelling. Are you all right?"

"Yes, Dad," Molly called. "Sorry we woke you up. I just had a nightmare and Jill is talking to me."

"All right, girls," Molly's father said. "Call us if you need anything. I'm going back to bed."

Molly grabbed Jill by the shoulders and turned her so they faced each other.

They were perfect copies of one another. It was unbelievable!

"This is so weird," Molly said. "You even sound like me. But... but you're not me, really. Are you?"

"I don't know," Jill replied. "But, hey, I've got an idea. You always say I'm better at history than you. What if you ask me a history question you couldn't answer? If I know the answer, I must still have Jill's mind and Jill's feelings and everything. I just look like you, that's all. See what I mean?"

"Uh, I think so, Jill Ч uh, Molly, or whatever I should call you," Molly said. "So you want me to ask a history question I can't answer, right?"

"Right. If you don't know the answer and I do, then I'm still Jill."

"Hmmmm, let's see. OK, how about this?

When was World War II fought?" Molly asked.

"That's easy," Jill said. "World War II began in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. But the U.S. didn't get into the war until 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The war ended in 1945 after the United States dropped two atom bombs on Japanese cities."
