“Hello? Hello? Let’s hope that they haven’t gotten a concussion. Then again, is that even possible here?”

Hang on…is that me?! How does that even work? Where am I? When I realized that I wasn’t in a place that I recognize, I jumped up to run.

“Hey! Wait!” said my twin. I took a deep breath and turned around. When I turned around and got a better look at my adversary. The thing was…they looked like me…but with key differences. Their hair was as brown, short, curly, and wild as mine, but it wasn’t as much of a mess as I’d usually leave it.

They were dressed in pink, flowing, strawberry dress, which swished with the pattern of the wind. In a normal universe, or, a normal version of whatever Bizzaro world I’m in, I’d have been dressed in a pair of jeans and the same hoodie I’ve been wearing for the past 2 weeks. Their eyes were a beautiful golden brown, in comparison to my near black ones which were always hidden by my long bangs.
