Hmm, well, I can think of only one reason why you'd present this as a prompt today... ok :)

Dopplegänger
"This is Twolie," said Herr Doktor Kuhgipfel, pronouncing the first syllable like the number.
"She looks a lot like Julie," said the hospital nurse squinting at the slightly bemused woman sitting on the edge of the bed, "you remember? The one with the gnome infestation?"
"Yes," said the groundsman, "and this is her doppelgänger so that we can bait those pesky little bastards into a trap."

Greg - oh good, I can't wait to find out what that reason is...

Oh. Oh, I see. Delighted. Obviously. Just... so delighted.
