Another Me

Tristessa
"That would be odd."

Cephei
"This world is almost exactly like our world except magic; it wouldn't be that strange, would it?"

Tristessa
"...I guess..."

Cephei
"We're here." I said. I rang the bell.

Arie
I ran to the door and opened it. "Uh, hello, who are you?" They looked familiar.

Cephei
I smiled. "Oh, hello! We're looking for somebody by the name of Aida. Is she here?"

Arie
"Yeah," I said, letting them in. "Aida, someone wants to meet you!'

Aida
"Who is it?" I said, coming. "Oh, hiii! How'd you guys know where I live?"

Tristessa
I shrugged. "Same location as my house."

Akiko
"Who is it?" I asked, coming to the door. "Hey, what do you mean "same location?" Are you from the neighborhood?"

Tristessa
"...not really."

Cephei
"May we come in?"

Arie
"Yeah, sure."

Cephei
"This house is almost exactly like ours." I commented. "Do you, by any chance, have a pet?"

Arie
"Nope. I don't really like pets... especially not dogs."

Cephei
"Ah... then they're not exactly like us." I said.

Arie
"Dogs are evil. Do you guys want some mangoes?"

Cephei
I smiled. "Sure." I turned to Tristessa. "Iris's counterpart sure acts like her. They're both afraid of dogs." I smiled. Then I said, "Is it fine if I allow my pet inside, then?"

Arie
"Uh... depends... is it a dog or cat, and does it poop? Is it well trained?"

Cephei
I smiled. "He is very well trained! It's a bird."

Arie
"Ah, I like birds. He can come."

Cephei
I whistled. Eva flew in, glowing. "Are you enjoying this world?"

Eva
I chirped happily. It was so mysterious!

Cephei
"This is Eva. Do you want to pet him?"

Arie
"Wow, cool bird!" I grinned and pet him. "He doesn't have bird flu.... riiiight?"

Cephei
"Of course not!"

Eva
Can I say something to them? I asked to Cephei and Tristessa.

Arie
"Domesticated birds wouldn't anyway."

Tristessa
I shrugged.
