"I don't wanna fight with my alternative self!" Michael said with a frown. "I mean, he's so handsome!"
"Right back atcha!" Matthew said with a charismatic smile.
"GUYS!" The Jodis yelled at them.
"Oh come on, Jodi! Even though they came out of nowhere and attacked us, doesn't mean we can't treat them with respect! Wait, does it?" The sound of people shouting snapped them out of their conversation. Everyone seemed to run to the centre of the room.
"We have to go, apperantly!" Jodi told Michael before taking off towards the others.
"Wait a second!" Michael took out his phone and turned to Matthew. "Let's take a selfie!" He put an arm around Matthew's shoulders and said. "Smile!" They both smiled for the picture.
"Wait, I need one for my phone!" Matthew said as he took out his phone. "Say, 'Alternative selves forever!'" They said the line and smiled for the picture, as Alt. Jodi was scowling in the backround.
"Now, can you give me your digits?" Michael asked as he took out his Poké Gear. He looked over his shoulder at his friends, and then back into Matthew's eyes. He put his hands on his shoulders and spoke. "Listen, Matthew. I'll never forget you. The short, brief time we had together was really meaningful to me." Matthew smiled and pet his alternative self's back.
"Michael, come on, we have to go!" Jodi called after her friend. Michael hugged Matthew and ran to the centre of the room. He called over his shoulder.
"Stay safe, me!"
"You too!" He waved at Michael, who disappeared with the rest of his friends. If they wouldn't have been basically the same person, I would have shipped them.
ONE TELEPORTATION LATER
The two of them appeared in a totally different location, which made them a little confused. "Oh, so THAT was going to happen. I thought we were going to travel through time and end up in the same location but after the copies left." Jodi said with a surprised expression. She heard someone saying something about a month later, and got even more confused. "Oh, so I guess we actually did travel in time. Huh, didn't expect that to happen after I realized we teleported."
"Now that we're here..." Michael began talking. "...I really miss Matthew already!" He whined with a pained expression. They slowly began walking in the direction of where Azumi was heading. "Should I like, call him? I want to know what has happened to him after we left!"
"I'm sure he's.... fine?" Jodi said, trying to cheer him up.
"Question mark? So something bad might have happened to him! Ugh, I wish I could see him again..." He took a deep breath and broke into song. "What if we could MEET again? What if--"
"Don't do that." Jodi cut him off.
"Oh, come on, Jodi! You're just bitter 'cause your alternative self didn't like you!"
"...Maybe I am a little jealous that my copy didn't like me, but even if I wasn't, I would've still stopped you from singing." They continued to bicker until they reached the house. Michael was about to enter the house when he saw Azumi being hugged by a Bewear, and the floor... the floor had blood spilled on it. "Yeah, Azumi is a potential murderer. I say we don't enter the house."
"I second that motion." Jodi said with a scared expression and the two of them took a step back from the house.
