Felicity was still staring at the guy that was driving on the other side of the road. He didn't seem to notice her but then again, he wasn't looking at her either. Her eyes were wide open when she was looking at him.

"That can't be..it can't be.."

Not only was she looking at another guy that looks exactly like the guy that just passed her, he was also wearing the exact same clothes right up until the hair, the tattoo and the car as well. Everything was exactly the same. She had no idea what to make of it.

"Oh I know..haha..nice..this is the night where Felicity Kind gets pranked right?..I get it..they're twins..yup..the tattoo..that ridiculous hair..and the car..nice..I bet these guys must get some sick pleasure from doing these sort of déjà vu stuff..very ingenious guys..very ingenious.."

She wasn't even sure if she was being sarcastic or actually complimenting those people. Whatever it was, she was done with it.

"I'm going home and all of you can go straight to hell, in case I haven't said so.." She was imagining doing something fabulous or majestic while she was saying that.

Felicity was about to turn her attention back to the road in front of her when the guy suddenly looked at her. Oddly enough, she found herself unable to turn away from his fixation. But that was not all of it. He might have turned his head towards her but there was something off about it. There was practically no discernible expression on his face, like he was a doll or something. A creepy smile or a wicked laughter would be more normal than this. It was almost as if he was feeling nothing at all yet there he was looking at her like his very life was depending on it. Felicity started to feel creepy again. Just when it felt like this could go on forever, he turned his attention back towards the road and started gaining speed over her car. Unlike the other cars, he took his time to cut her off before eventually shifting back towards the road in front of her. This time she was able to make out a plate number.

"SCC 1907..hmm..at least I know where they're from.."

The car then gain even more speed as it started to move further away from her. Like watching an old movie about a cowboy walking into the sunset, Felicity fell into another mesmerizing moment as the blue car in front of her slowly "galloped" into the "sunset". At least this was somewhat normal she thought. As silence once again returned, she noticed the full moon that was directly up ahead. It was almost artistic to see the car and moon to be on the same "picture" in her mind. There was just some sense of surrealism to it. The car was already quite a distance from her when suddenly, she saw something above the clouds. Come to think of it, it was more like it was hovering right in front of the moon.

"Is that a bird?"

Whatever she saw was too far to be discernible but as the blue car becomes smaller, the "bird" was getting bigger. Eventually it gotten big enough to "swoop" down and land right on top of the blue car as it was still steadily moving forward.

"What kind of bird is that? And at night?"

More questions were about to follow inside her head but just when she was about to ask the next question to herself, the "bird" suddenly flew upward, almost like when Superman does it.

"What? Where did it go? Can a bird actually fly that fast?"

Felicity found herself struggling to take a glimpse at the night sky from her windshield. Not only was her vision limited but the lack of light wasn't doing her any favors either. Somewhat disappointed, she returned to her normal sitting positioned, only to find that the blue car was already gone.
