Star Date #23

It had been a while since I had set foot in unexplored interdimensional territory.

And the first, and only, time really hadn’t been that unsettling.

I was there on a first date remember? So I had to play it cool.

Also we just had this thing going together, that made it all feel safe, and exciting, and good.

Now I was not so sure anymore.

My girl had obviously had a different reaction than me, seeing other me.

Where I was mostly annoyed and a little bit disgusted, she was mostly amused, and a little bit excited.

I really didn’t like the way she reacted to him, way too into it. And I could see he liked it.

Was it just me? Was I overreacting here?

Obviously her not liking other me would have been a sign way worse.

I mean, all thing considered, at least the guy my girl was eyeballing was still me.

But you know, he was all those things I wasn’t, he was cooler, with better hair, looked stronger and more confident. He felt taller, somehow, even though we were the exact same height. He made me feel tiny and insignificant. And my girl shooting looks towards him just made it worse.

I sighed, what kind of world had I landed into? I decided to explore.
