The Doppelganger Effect

Whizzing, whirring and beeping happily down the street on a mid-day

brightly lit by the moons, D2 suddenly heard whizzing, whirring and

beeping approaching, growing ever louder.

She looked to one of her right sides and saw herself, then R1,

superimposed.  Smiling she asked him: "Aren't you either too old or

too young to be up at an hour like this?", feeling oddly as though 

she had asked that question before.  He responded: "How did you

know I was up? I might have seen myself walking down the street

once, but if I did I didn't stop to say hello", and she heard his 

whiz, whir and beeps merge into one indistinct and 

ever-fading yyyyaaaawwwwwww.... as he passed.
