"Can you tell me more, about... myself, my family, our friendship." I said with a shy smile. "My memory is kind of foggy."

That was a few weeks ago, now I am home. Home in this universe to be exact. If this was a home, the house is nearly a palace. Okay, exaggeration it's just a mansion but still. A freaking big mansion. I just confirmed this was an alternate universe or whatever was it that the machine was attached to.

Also because I was absolutely stupid in this Universe. I don't even get why would a person deliberately try to take a photo in a dangerous spot. Not to mention how stupid my alternate self could be by absolutely trying to drink ethanol alcohol, I do not know if that was by accident or intentionally. Another would be how she, I... well she... Well I am her and she is me... Technically speaking.

AU me, got into Harvard due to connections most of her grades are fabricated. Daughter of two alumni's from Harvard, Mother is a Surgeon and Father is a Lawyer. Entire family nearly all came from Harvard. How did she enter? Someone paid for her grades to all be above an A+ then not to mention three members of the board of directors where her relatives.

This woman was totally born with a golden spoon in her mouth!

Looking around the room which my 'Parents' told me was my room. I can say we are totally opposites. We may look the same, have the same name but we had different taste, brain waves, personalities. This room is nearly as bigger than the mother superior's office in the orphanage!

"So, wanna go shopping?" Monique said as she laid down on 'my' bed.

"Nicky." Also knew their nicknames by now, since I have no recollection what so ever. Lorraine and Monique, being my 'Bestest friends' even here always visited to spend time with me since the two of them are all that I remember. "Did you saw the cute guy on our way here? I think he was totally your type~"

"Or yours." Monique giggled, I am actually trying hard not to cringe since I still find it weird they go boy hunting. "So, you up for shopping Eve?"

The Lorraine I knew had glasses on, more on the small petite side. Always had been one to put on a fight. The Lorraine I have in front of me is an o

Simply nodding my head as I have no idea what to actually do at this moment. Observing my surroundings would help me find out where in the universe I was and how different things were.

I am not sure what happened but next thing I know I was in the drivers seat of a Lexus trying to find out how this thing works. I never had a car in my universe, much more know how to drive one.

"Don't tell me you also forgot how to drive?" Lorraine said as she looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

"They said muscle memory can rarely be forgotten by the body." Monique said as she looked at her phone. "Well, according to the notes I took of course."

My hands were sweaty, my forehead was sweaty, I felt like I wanna hurl. I really wanted to hurl, anxiety was building up within me. I can feel my bile rise to my throat. How hard can driving be? This was an automatic car, I mean simply step on the accelerator... right? Inhaling deeply, I tried to do whatever seemed have sense of chronological order.

Place it on Drive, then step on the accelerator slowly. This feels like a dream, if you die in an alternate Universe do you really die? I would still wake up, right? Maybe not since this is like a second life. Oh gosh, I don't want to die again.

Inhaling deeply as I drove slowly out of the garage. If the car would shake since I was holding the steering wheel, it would have felt like an earthquake with how hard I am shaking at the moment.

"Well, at least she remembers a bit." Monique says, while combing her hair back. "At this point we might end up reaching the mall right when it closes."

"Not really." Lorraine laughed at the back seat. "Just about a few minutes before it closes when all stores have closed."

How can they still joke about this?! I am literally afraid we might crash at this rate! How can they still laugh!? I AM LITERALLY PANICKING!!

"Seriously though Eve, even a scooters going to over take us. No one runs at 10 kilometers per hour. The road is so clear!" Monique pointed unto the road that was even clearer than my freaking skin. Well, my old skin. My original... you know what... Whatever.

"I mean, I am just afraid of over speeding." I am absolutely shaking at this point.

"And who would pull you over for over speeding? You did it before but that was on the highway to Los Angles. We're simply going to Burlington." Lorraine was laying down at the back seat with her feet up.

"I... M-might, run over a squirrel?" I sighed and simple added more pressure to the accelerator, now going at least 40 kilometers per hour.

The city was less... like mine. There were no flying cars yet, no holographic billboards, most people wore mask. Why were they wearing face mask? I'll ask Monique or Lorraine when we are done shopping. When entering the parking lot of mall, I was actually dreading they wouldn't let us in since I forgot I didn't actually have money or my wallet at that. What surprised me was that they let us in without a fuss, except asking why did we pass that way when we could have used the other drive way it would have been easier.

"Yeah, you never drive there. We always use the other way." Monique said as she got wore her mask.

"I... forgot?" I said as I got ready to leave the car.

"You even forgot protocol, didn't you. Your Mask." Lorraine tapped hers as though it was something so obvious. "And you nearly went out of the house without this." She added while handing me a small Louis Vuitton clutch bag.

Smiling at her as though I totally forgot. Checking the inside the bag, to fine a wallet filled with cards. Credit cards, ATM cards, Identification Cards, and a gucci face mask inside. Looking at my Identification, I just realized my whole name here is different. From where I came from I was simply Minerva Jones, according to the orphanage where I grew up. They have no Idea who my father was since my mother was not married, while my mother had told the nurses at the hospital that my Name was Minerva before she died of giving birth to me.

While here my name was Ariadne Minerva Regnum. It was weird, yet also heartwarming until I felt jealousy towards my alternate self.

Sighing, remembering I need to record this if ever I can get back. I can't forget that I do not belong here. This isn't my life, nor my body.
