FaerieQueen
2020? What are you talking about?
DragonSlayer42
What do you mean? It’s the year 2020.
FaerieQueen
It’s 2018. Stop screwing with me.
DragonSlayer42
I’m not! Why would I mess with you?
FaerieQueen
I don’t know.
FaerieQueen
Like I said before, I don’t really know you.
DragonSlayer42
I wouldn’t do that to you. I promise.
FaerieQueen
This doesn’t make any sense.
DragonSlayer42
You really think it’s 2018?
FaerieQueen
You don’t think I know what year I’m in??
DragonSlayer42
No, I’m not saying that. I’m just wondering if something happened.
FaerieQueen
Believe me, nothing happened. I’m perfectly fine. But, I’m in 2018 like the rest of the world.
FaerieQueen
If this is a joke, it’s not funny.
DragonSlayer42
No, I swear! I told you, I’m not messing around. I’m in 2020.
FaerieQueen
Okay, so prove it.
DragonSlayer42
And how do you want me to do that?
FaerieQueen
I don’t know. If you’re from the future, tell me something that’s going to happen.
DragonSlayer42
How? I don’t even know who you are in real life.
FaerieQueen
Not to me. Something in general.
FaerieQueen
Tell me something that’s going to happen later today or tomorrow.
DragonSlayer42
What date is it for you?
DragonSlayer42
Okay, same here, just two years apart.
FaerieQueen
Like I said, proof. Give me something if you want me to believe you.
DragonSlayer42
Okay, give me a second. I’m going to Google it.
DragonSlayer42
First thing I see is the market closed up 372 points on the 19th.
FaerieQueen
What else? I want something more.
FaerieQueen
Something big.
DragonSlayer42
I can’t just make stuff up. You want something that happened in the Middle East?
FaerieQueen
When doesn’t something happen in the Middle East? Give me something else.
DragonSlayer42
There was an uprising. Oh, I remember this. It was big.
FaerieQueen
Care to share?
DragonSlayer42
Okay, the Russian elections are tomorrow. Putin wins, which you could guess, but there were uprisings and protests in Moscow. Oh, this is cool.
DragonSlayer42
This one couple got in the middle of Red Square and took off their clothes to protest rigging of the election.
DragonSlayer42
They said they had nothing to hide, did Putin?
FaerieQueen
That the best you got? Anyone could guess about Putin rigging his election.
DragonSlayer42
Yeah, but I’m giving you something specific. How many times do you see people strip naked in the middle of a city?
FaerieQueen
I live in NY, remember?
DragonSlayer42
Okay, true. But, not like this.
FaerieQueen
And when does this happen?
DragonSlayer42
What time is it by you?
FaerieQueen
Wow, I didn’t even realize the time. It’s 11:42. I better get to bed. I have some work to do tomorrow.
DragonSlayer42
It’s 842 p.m. now. So, we’re on the same time and day, but two years apart.
FaerieQueen
Where do you live?
DragonSlayer42
I’m in LA.
FaerieQueen
What time does this thing happen?
DragonSlayer42
It happens at 3:30 p.m. your time tomorrow. So, whatever it is that you do, you’ll know before you leave work.
FaerieQueen
I’m working from home tomorrow, it’s Sunday.
DragonSlayer42
So, what do you do?
FaerieQueen
I’m a writer.
DragonSlayer42
Oh, cool! What do you write?
FaerieQueen
Too much information for right now. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, first.
FaerieQueen
One question though.
FaerieQueen
You’re not secretly a spy and going to stir up a protest to get me to trust you, are you?
DragonSlayer42
LOL! You got me.
FaerieQueen
Gnite, DragonSlayer42. We’ll see how full of it you are tomorrow.
DragonSlayer42
Gn FaerieQueen. I hope history repeats.
FaerieQueen
Are you there??
FaerieQueen
Holy cow! Wow! How’d you know that? It’s all over the news.
DragonSlayer42
I was actually worried all day that it wouldn’t happen.
FaerieQueen
Seriously, how’d you know? I can’t believe you’re in the future. How is that even possible?
DragonSlayer42
I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it all day.
FaerieQueen
Are you messing with me?
FaerieQueen
I don’t know. I’ve been trying to figure it out.
FaerieQueen
Do you know people in Russia?
DragonSlayer42
Wait. Do you really think that I could call in a favor from friends in Russia to strip naked?
FaerieQueen
I was kidding. Mostly. So, tell me how did you know? And don’t say the future.
DragonSlayer42
But, that’s what it is. How else would I know?
FaerieQueen
This is insane. It’s not possible.
DragonSlayer42
But, we’re doing it.
DragonSlayer42
I told you, I’ve been thinking about it. I think it’s the game.
FaerieQueen
Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds?
DragonSlayer42
I know, but how else do you explain it? There has to be something in the game. A rift in time or something.
FaerieQueen
But, how? And why this game?
DragonSlayer42
I have no idea for either question, but I really think that’s it.
DragonSlayer42
The game is allowing us to communicate in a time rift. I don’t think we could talk otherwise.
FaerieQueen
Why? I could just pick up the phone and call you.
DragonSlayer42
Yeah, but you’d be calling the me from that time. I wouldn’t know you. And if I called you now, it’d be two years later for you.
DragonSlayer42
I have no idea if you’d remember me. Or if we fought and had a falling out. Or maybe, we’re married!
FaerieQueen
LOL! I doubt that. I have a fiancé.
DragonSlayer42
I thought it was a boyfriend.
FaerieQueen
Technically, fiancé. Doesn’t matter.
DragonSlayer42
Sorry, I didn’t mean to get personal.
FaerieQueen
It’s okay. I’d just rather not discuss that part of our lives.
DragonSlayer42
Understood.
FaerieQueen
Let’s get back to the game. Do you think other people are able to communicate through time, or just us?
DragonSlayer42
I have no idea. It can’t just be for us, can it?
FaerieQueen
I doubt it. If there’s a time rift, then that means others can do the same. Except, maybe nobody’s figured it out.
DragonSlayer42
I don’t even want to figure it out. I want to keep this between us.
FaerieQueen
I just thought of something.
FaerieQueen
You can look up the future.
DragonSlayer42
No, I can’t look up the future. I’m already in it. There’s nothing I can look up. I can’t see my future.
FaerieQueen
No, but you can see mine.
