Jon passed through the door and it dissipated behind him, the waiting room was quite large compared to other rooms of the rift he had seen so far...but there was not much to compare it to so far. There were several people in this area, but he could still spot Sarah with ease who was in line waiting to talk to the Al-formation attendant at the other side of the room.
By the time Jon crossed the room she had finished talking to the attendant and was heading in Jon's direction. Jon stopped in front of her and said "Well that was weird, now what do we do?"
"Ugh what do you want you dweeb, get outta my face you creep I have somewhere I need to be." she said in disgust and barged past Jon heading to the door behind him.
Jon stood dumbfounded.
From behind him he could hear laughter.
"Haahahhaaah" giggled a girl "That never gets old"
Turning, Jon saw a punk type emo chick was laughing at him.
"I didnt think we would come across another version of me that looked like the one from your reality so soon, I suppose the possibility's are endless as they say."
And then it clicked. The girl was Sarah.
"Wha...How...What...you...who are you?"
It was definitely Sarah, or she had Sarah's face anyway, but the lifestyle must have been so different based on how she looked. The first immediate difference was her hair, it was short but had a sort of Mohawk flair to it with blends of pink and purple hues. It was almost as if it was bed-head, the dishevelled manner in which it was styled was probably masterfully done based on how much effort was put into her make-up, but it still looked as if it was easy to achieve rolling out of bed. The make-up was definitely different to the style he was used to seeing, especially the around the eyes. Firstly she had dark eye-shadow which accentuated her eyes perfectly but the shadow continued on towards her ears where it faded shy of her hair. She had a few piercings but it wasn't OTT, a few studs and a bar on the ears and a stud below her bottom lip. She was wearing a purple off the shoulder t shirt with an open sleeveless leather jacket on top off it. A leather Punk skirt with a pair of studded belts, horizontal striped thigh socks coloured purple and black and topped it off with black knee high canvas shoes. It was a sort of mishmash style but it was definitely unique.
"Forgotten me already? I just helped you through the portal not 20 minutes ago"
"Why do you look so different"
"When I was collecting you I had to look like something you could relate to for you to see me through the rift, the easiest option was to use the version of myself in your reality, thankfully she was a student at your school and you recognized her..I could have been anybody. That would of made it harder for you to trust me through the portal."
"The Sarah in my reality was a bitch, I wouldn't trust her with anything.."
"Maybe I'm a bitch too, you still took my hand though. Your mine now you little dweeb."
"What the fuck."
"It was a joke, jeez. Note to self Jon cannot take a joke"
"Ah...so anyway...I'm guessing your not a cheerleader then"
"Fuck yeah I am, cheering is the balls, the best contact sport there is."
"Ah right...Wait, what? Contact sport?"
"Yeah, maybe you can watch sometime"
Images flashed in Jon's head, he had two general mental images when it came to cheerleaders, One being stuck up mightier than thou bitches and the other was that he normally associated them as sexual symbol, the only thing that could make it more sexual would be...contact..
"Anyway we better go make you a little stronger before we start anything, come with me." Sarah said as she walked towards the Information desk.
Jon, still stood in the same place; in his own little world thinking about the two versions of Sarah and 'cheering'
Sarah stormed back to Jon and grabbed his hand "C'mon Jake are you even listening to me"
Coming back from his other world Jon mumbled "Yeah, Uhhh.. Stronger. Lead the way"
"If you want to get stronger we have to create you a file on FOG, Even if you don't use it for a while it is unique in that your characteristics get added on to your current capability's when you leave that realm, it provides a great source for an instant boost in abilities. That's one of the reasons I managed to pull you through the portal so easily." Said Sarah who had dragged Jon to the lady sitting at the desk at the end of the room. "Hey Letty can you open a way to Future of Gaming for us."
"Sure thing honey, just go through the door to the right and then the 3rd door to the left in the following room. Have fun playing,"
"So uh Sarah?"
"Hmm?"
"Who's Jake?"
