Hi Jessica. I’ve left you several messages, but I see you haven’t been back on.
FaerieQueen is not online.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I know you’re not online, but I’m writing just in case you come here and see all of my messages. Actually, I’m praying that you come here. I just want to say I’m sorry if I upset you.
FaerieQueen is not online.

I just really wanted to get a chance to know you better. I’ve been thinking about you nonstop. I know you don’t like to hear it, but I do think the game brought us together for a reason.
FaerieQueen is not online.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I’m not giving up. As long as this portal is open, I’m going to try, because I remembered something. I was playing the game too at that time. And if you don’t want to try me then, I’m going to. And if what I do works, then that proves we belong together.

Brandon?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Brandon, I can see you got the message, please answer.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Who is this?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I don’t have a lot of time, but I’m going to do the best I can.
Brandog1
Brandog1
You don’t have a lot of time for what?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Brandon, you’re not going to believe this, but I’m you.
Brandog1
Brandog1
What do you mean?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Please just listen to me. I’m you from the future.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Okay, who is this?
Brandog1
Brandog1
Is this Eddie?
Brandog1
Brandog1
Pete?
Brandog1
Brandog1
Seriously, I’m not in the mood for games, who is this?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I told you who this is. I’m you. I know you don’t believe me. I know because I wouldn’t believe me either. But wait! Don’t disconnect! Let me finish! Just give me five minutes, okay?
Brandog1
Brandog1
You’re crazy. I’ll humor you for five minutes until I can figure out who you really are. Make it good. Go.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
This isn’t a joke. This isn’t one of your friends. It’s you.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Okay, that still doesn’t explain anything.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Here we go. Don’t get embarrassed. You wet the bed until you were 12. You never told your friends that, but that’s why you never went to sleepovers. Wait, there’s more.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You had a crush on Jenny Cutler all through high school. You never told anyone about it. Not even your closest friends. Unfortunately, you never told Jenny either, and always regretted it.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Who are you? How do you know all that?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You know who I am.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You just separated from your wife. She was cheating on you. You haven’t told anyone. Even to this day you haven’t because you’re embarrassed by it.
Brandog1
Brandog1
You could’ve gotten that from her.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Here’s what I couldn’t have gotten from her. Inside, you were relieved. You never felt you were right for each other. When she left, you were hurt, but you felt free.
Brandog1
Brandog1
I don’t know how you know all this. This isn’t possible.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
It’s a glitch in the game. A time rift.
Brandog1
Brandog1
A glitch is like an extra life or something. It doesn’t let you talk to someone from the future.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I think it happened on purpose. I think it was this magical thing that happened, to let me meet a girl.
Brandog1
Brandog1
So, what you’re telling me is, in the future I go nuts.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Very funny, but I’m telling you the truth. For once in your life, you need to take a leap of faith. Trust me.
Brandog1
Brandog1
I don’t know. This all sounds so crazy.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I know it does. But, there’s this girl. She’s amazing. We really hit it off.
Brandog1
Brandog1
So? Go ask her out. And btw, if it’s true what you’re saying, it kind of sucks that I still don’t have anyone two years in the future. I don’t know what you did, but it obviously wasn’t working.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I’ve changed since your time. I’m not as closed off and bitter as you are then. But, I can’t ask her out. In my time she’s married. In yours, she’s not yet.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
We need to catch her before she gets married. And I can’t do that, but you can.
Brandog1
Brandog1
How’d you meet her then?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Through this glitch in the game. It’s for real, and I’m talking to you through it right now.
Brandog1
Brandog1
This is nuts. Whatever. What do you want me to do about it?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I need you to go to her.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Wait, you want me to go to someone who I never met? There’s no way.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Brandon, please. Leap of faith, remember? When you were a kid, you believed in signs. You still do. This is your sign.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Since Lisa left you, you’ve wanted to get away. To escape, but you’re too paralyzed with indecision to go anywhere. You don’t want anyone to think you aren’t okay.
Brandog1
Brandog1
How do you know all this?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You know how. I’m you. Please trust me.
Brandog1
Brandog1
You do realize, that you’re basically setting yourself up on a blind date. Is she cute?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
She’s beautiful.
Brandog1
Brandog1
I hate blind dates. They never turn out well.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
You already hit it off with her. Well, at least I did. And, if you can’t take your own word on somebody, then who can you trust?
Brandog1
Brandog1
I’m getting a bad feeling about this.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Trust me. I’m telling you, this is the girl. She’s special.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Fine, whatever. I guess I can contact her. You have a number?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I do. I looked it up, but I’m not sure it’s hers in your time. It is in the future, so I’m hoping she’s kept the same number.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Fine, I’ll call her. Guess it doesn’t hurt. What do you want me to say?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Yes, definitely try her, but that’s not enough. You have to go to her.
Brandog1
Brandog1
What? Are you out of your mind?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Time is critical. Show her you mean it. You need to go to her.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Is this a trap?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
A trap for what?
Brandog1
Brandog1
I don’t know. This all sounds so shady.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
No trap. This is a good thing. But, you have to go to her.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Fine, whatever. I have no idea why I’m listening to any of this, but I’m officially intrigued. Where is she?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
NY.
Brandog1
Brandog1
WHAT?? You want me to spend money to go to NY for a girl I never met and ask her to go out with me?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but yes.
Brandog1
Brandog1
This is insane.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
I know. But, I’m begging you. My life and our happiness is in your hands.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Wow, I’m melodramatic when I’m older. What’s her name?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Her name is Jessica Harris. She’s on Facebook standing by Rockefeller Center. You can look her up. You can even try to contact her, but if she doesn’t respond, I need you to go to her ASAP.
Brandog1
Brandog1
I’ll think about it.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Please.
Brandog1
Brandog1
I said I’ll think about it. I’ll look her up first.
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Okay, but it can’t be too long. I told you, time is critical.
Brandog1
Brandog1
Why is it so critical?
DragonSlayer42
DragonSlayer42
Well, there is one other element of this story that I should probably tell you about her.
