Dan was in the crowd cheering happily, Jude playing in the finals out of the blue, wonders shall never end!

But what's up with this 'His Replica'?

***

"Hey, Good game bro!" A guy from the opponent team walks up to Jude.

"Thanks man, good game." Jude replied.

"I'm Nathan Hill. " he said.

"Jade Brown." Jude replied.

"Sure I know, the superstar who stole the show!" Nathan said and they laughed.

"Thanks man, see you later." Jude said and walks off.

Nathan's eyes traced him off as he walks away, wondering why there's a little change in the Jade that he knows of before.

The team were gathered and Coach Cole stood in the center, Coach Dew by his Side.

Dan was in as well.

"I'm sure everyone of us is puzzled about the whole issue but the excitement and joy of winning the finals has covered the whole thing." Coach Coke said and looked at their faces to confirm his assumption.

"Who has anything to say?" he asked further.

Nicole Raised his Hand.

"What's that, Nicole?" Coach asked.

"This whole Jade stuff is confusing, we need clearance and explanation, is he just lying about the incident and coming late to the competition to trick us?" Nicole said starting to get worked up, obviously angry at how the start of the game was.

Coach Cole sighed and signaled with his palm to Nicole to Calm down.

"Jade is Still in Coma!" He said and all were shocked, more confused.

"Then who's this?" Joe asked, pointing to Jude.

"I'm Jude, Jude Bowen!" Jude voiced out.

"How come?" someoe muttered.

"Calm down everyone, I'll take it from here." Coach Dew Chipped in and Explained how the events Took place.

"Whoa, this is crazy. Don't you think somehow you guy might be twins.? you got to enquire from your guardian what this whole stuff is all about." Andrew, one of the players said.

"It also came shocking to me when Coach Dew Showed me Jade's picture, I've not heard anything special about me from my parents and not for once did they told me I was adopted or I was not their Biological Child. it might be a coincidence, that happens too." Jude said, not ready to believe the word, so many things running through his brain at the moment.

"We'll have to see your parents, Jude." Nicole said.

Coach Cole nods in approval.

"At least, to clear doubts and be sure of our assumption, and we can't really leave you at this moment, some of the Opposition are starting to suspect that you're really different from the Jade they know, Jade is really popular." Coach Dew added.

"You'll need to act as jade for the time being and learn how he does his things and what he does. We also need you on the team, there are many State games coming, Luckily you guys have same trait." Coach Cole said.

(GREG BOWEN'S HOUSE)

After two light knocks on the door, A man in his Late 60's opened the door to check who's knocking outside.

Surprised to find Jude with two men.

"Hey, what took you so long to come in today? You went out without gibing a call and here you are arriving late, showing up with two men." Mr. Greg rushed his words.

"Sorry Dad, something came up." Jude said.

"Who are these Men behind you?" Mr Greg asked Suspiciously.

"I'm Coach Cole, and this is Coach Dew." Coach Cole said with a smile.

" I'm Greg Bowen. What business do you have here with me?" Mr. Greg asked.

*Can you let them in first, father?" Jude said with more serious voice and Mr Greg knows at one that something serious is at hand.

They came in and Mrs. Greg was walking down the stairs to meet up with them.

"You're back, Jude, where have you been to all day?" She asked.

"Sorry mom, I went to the stadium and besides, that's why this visitors are here, They need some information from you and dad." Jude said.

****

"Yeah, Jude is not our child." Mr. Greg breaks the silence.

Coach Cole already explained everything.

Jude was shocked, Wonder why this was kept from him all this while, years trickled down his face.

"Yes, we found him by the Riverside down a hill." Mrs. Greg said further.

"But why did you hide all this from me all this while?" Jude asked with tears.

"We had no child of our own and we considered you as a blessing to us, although before we accepted you in as our child, we looked for who might have dropped a baby by the Riverside but we got no response." Mr Greg said, with tears on his face.

"This is really sad, and a hopeful coincidence as well Cause he'll be meeting his real parents soon." Coach Cole said and Mrs. Greg burst out crying the more.

Jude Knows why she's crying that hard, in as much as he wants to know his real parents since things turned out this way already, he's not ready to leave them also. they're his first parents.

"You don't have to cry Dad and Mom. this has already happened and it's no one's fault, let me meet my parents first, at least to know why I'm being abandoned all this years without bothering to look for me. You're my parents and I'm not leaving you guys soon, nothing will change that." Jude said, Pulling Mrs. Greg into a hug.

After a while, they discussed on how everything will be done.
