Having nothing else to do with her time, Ashley entered the park where the Festival of the Stars was being held. Normally she wasn't the type to dress up for occasions, but this time she wore a red and blue kimono. "Feels like I'm back in Japan." She said with a small smile as she began looking to see if anyone she knew was around.

Tori saw her and her eyes went wide. "OhMaiGosh!" She squealed before running over to her and nearly glomping her. "HI!"

Ashley was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of Tori, but she didn't fall and instead gave the other woman a hug. "Hey there Tori, long time no see huh?"

"Not sense forever. Did you have a daughter by any chance?" Tori spoke as if this was a common question.

Ashley blinked a few times. "No, I can't have any children because of what happened with Alessa, you remember her right?" She looked at Tori a little confused. "Why do you ask?"

"Because there's a little girl named Aya who's looking for her mommy and she looks like you in ways." Tori said that, remembering her own look alike in her arms.

Ashley was quiet for a moment, then looked at Tori and her baby. "How much like me?"

"You look at her and go: 'Wait a minute...' because it looks like you, but not quit. So I figured it HAD to be your daughter." Tori explained as Abigael looked around.

"I see.." Ashley thought for a moment and took a deep breath before smiling at Tori again. "Well, I've never had any children so I don't really know what to say other than she must be a great lookalike." She then made a mental note to make a phone call in the near future. "Wouldn't she know who her mother was anyway?"

"She doesn't have a clue. She's here if you want to meet her." Tori said, motioning somewhere in the crowd where she saw Aya disappear to.

"Perhaps later on, I don't want to give the girl false hope.." Ashley looked towards the crowd. "..After all, I want to be sure if I'm her mother or not first."

"Is there a chance at all for you to be her mother?" Tori asked in all seriousness despite the fact Abigael was laughing and reaching for Ashley.

Ashley nodded while smiling at the baby. "Yea.." She looked around to see if anyone was within earshot before lowering her voice. "When I was with the FBI, I heard about several black projects they were working on. One time I heard they perfected a method of..Well, cloning for lack of a better word." She let out a sigh before speaking again. "It wasn't the kind you'd think though, all I remember is it involved artificial reproductive cells, except for the main DNA, then they used a surrogate mother to give birth."

"So... she's your clone?" She blinked and tilted her head in question.

Ashley shook her head. "If that's what happened, then she'd be my biological daughter but her DNA would be near identical to mine." She didn't like using the word 'clone', even if it was the best way to describe it. "Besides, clones have their ages accelerated and you said she was young right? They would have nothing to gain from cloning me if they didn't make it at least 20 years old."

"Ah... well, then I'm saying she's yours because she needs a mommy." Abigael laughed and reached for Ashley again.

Ashley smiled and reached out to the baby with her finger. "Alright..But enough about that. Who's this young lady?"

"This is Abigael; most call her Abby. She's my only full blood child with Katsu." She smiled softly. Abigael grabbed her finger and shook it. "She's three and a half now."

"Hi Abby." Ashley shook her finger gently. "So you have other children that aren't your full blood I take it?"

"Yes. There's Kayla, 16, and Richard, 20. Both were adopted not long after Katsu and I got married." She smiled as Abigael bounced with joy.
