Dawn's POV

"Dawn?" She asks, looking bewildered. Why are you alive? Why are you here? How? What? Why? When? Where? These are all of the thoughts that are racing through my head, but all I can do right now is pull her into a hug. "I thought you were dead!" I whisper into her ear, and she replies, "Same here. It's a long story." "We can get to that. In time." I respond, and she smiles gratefully. "I have somewhere to go," I say quietly, and pull back. "We can talk later. Tracy."

"Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn. Dawn." "WHAT, RAFAEL?!" I snap. "Hi." He grins, and I almost slap him. "AAAUUUGGGGHHHH!" I scream, and Rafael seems to get the message. "Okay, that's not what I really wanted to ask. I was wondering... Where are we going?" Rafael nags again. "I SAID that you'll see!" I continue to march at a steady pace for what seems like hours in the burning sun.

I finally arrive at, well, my house. I knock 3 times in quick tap-tap-taps and, to my joy and surprise, the person who I wanted most to answer comes to the door- me.

"H-hello?" Asks a shaky Dawn 2.0, seemingly growing extremely confused. "Who are you?" She asks again, this time with more force, "And what are you doing with my- my-" she almost bursts into tears. "What are you doing with HIM?" I laugh sharply, and Rafael warns me in my head. Sorry, I reply. "Sorry," I apologize to Dawn 2.0. "It's just... EXTREMELY... Complicated. May I explain?" "Come on in," says Dawn 2.0, and I begin to tell my story.

Whitney's POV

I wake up. It's been a few weeks now, and I've gotten most of my memories back. I can't tell you them now, though, as they can't know that I'm remembering. These people torture me. They hardly feed me. They only give me a blanket, a pillow, and a bowl for food. All I'm able to do is stare at a wall and slowly lose my sanity. I only have three things keeping me from going completely going nuts. I am Whitney Casella. I am from Planet Earth H. I am going to get out of here alive.

Sadie's POV

"Hey, me!" I greet myself (aka the other Sadie) casually. I stand up and throw my iPod on the couch behind me so that OM (other me) knows that I'm not ignoring her. "Who are you?" OM asks shakily, backing up into OA (other Adam- ugh). "I'm you, just from another place like this. I'm kind of from Earth, and Rainbow Hills, and everything was about to explode, so I hopped on a pod and here I am," I shrug. OM stares at me in bewilderment, eyes as wide as saucers. OA just looks at me sympathetically, like he knows I've been through a lot. I know, you're probably going "Aww, isn't that just sweet?" but the thing is that this is ADAM, other world or not. "I just have one thing," I continue. "What is it?" Asks OM in an almost- whisper. I walk up to OA and look him straight in the eye. "If you DARE hurt Other Sadie," I say through my clenched jaw. "I swear, you will NOT want to cross me." Then I break eye contact with OA and calmly go back to playing 1010.

"Wait, Sadie from whereverthehecktown!" OA yells from behind me, trying but miserably failing to keep up with my swift pace. After I had gotten my iPod up to 100% charge, I had left OM's house. It wasn't ever mine, after all. I didn't belong there. OA seems to really want me, but too bad for him. I see the sweetness in his eyes, the other personality that he never revealed to anyone but me. Everyone else thought he was a jerk, but they didn't know Adam. Not the way I did. But even though I know Adam can be kind, he hurt me a lot. I can't fall into his traps again, because now I know that Adam really is a jerk. Deep down inside.

Dawn's POV

"Oh my gods, I'm so sorry!" I hug Dawn 2.0 with so much sincerity. "I didn't think it was like that!" He died 3 years ago in a chemical explosion. The other Rafael. The experiment that I had convinced him not to do.

Flashback

"Rafael, wait up!" I shrieked, trying to catch up to him. "What?" He shouted back, turning around. I ran up to where he was, admiring his hair blowing in the wind, his eyes matching the sky... Dawn, focus. "Um, so I was wondering if you'd like to meet up at the diner on the 31st? It wouldn't be, like, a date or anything, just for, you know, my thirteenth birthday," I ramble. "Well, I was going to do this really awesome chemical explosion..." I can see Rafael's eyes gleam excitedly. "It's going to be SPECTACULAR!" "Ooh, what kind?" I ask, joining in on his excitement. I love explosions... "Well, I'm going to combine these two kind of lethal ingredients, and I'm launching them off of the Eiffel Tower, and it'll go great! It'll be like fireworks! For all of Paris!" Rafael grins, and I can't possibly break his heart like this. But I have to. "Okay, I know that you're really excited for this," I begin, and he nods his head with so much passion. "But I can't let you." I can almost see Rafael's heart breaking in half. "Listen, I know it's awesome, but I can't let you KILL YOURSELF like that!" I can see Rafael understanding. "Okay, I'll come to the diner with you..." Rafael gives in, and I sigh in relief. "But are you sure it won't be a date?"

I am whisked back to the present with a start. Wow, I forgot about that. I didn't really think it was that important in life... Rafael has endangered his life many, many times trying to do dangerous experiments. Without me, he probably would be dead! Which leads me to think that this is some sort of parallel universe... I guess there's one way to find out.

Dawn 2.0's POV

Flashback

"Hey, wait up!" I shouted, trying to catch up with my boyfriend since last year. What? People date! "What, Dawn?" Rafael sighs, slowing down a bit. I grab both of his hands and look him in the eyes. (Just kidding! I really only trot up to him and slide my hand into his. This isn't Twilight!) "Um, my birthday's this weekend, and, um," "What do you want to say, Dawn?" Rafael asks, stopping completely. "Um, did you want to... Meet at the diner on the 31st?" I spit out. "Oh..." Rafael looks down. "I'm so sorry, Dawn. I was going to do this killer experiment on the 31st... But no matter! It's not important. I'll definitely go to the diner with you." Rafael smiles, but I know he's hiding disappointment. "No, it's fine. Go! Do your experiment!" I know it means a lot to him. "Oh thanks! I'll FaceTime you after, okay?" Rafael's smiling so hugely, I know that I made the right choice. "Okay. I love you, you know that?" I say to him. "I love you, too." We kiss for about 2 or 3 minutes, and then Rafael breaks away. "I really have to-" "Yeah, go. Talk to you at 4 on Sunday, Kay?" I ask, knowing that I can talk to him again in 2 days. "Till then," Rafael tips an imaginary hat. I giggle, and skip home.

He didn't answer on Sunday. I thought nothing of it.

An hour later, I found out that he was dead.

I haven't been the same since.

THANKS FOR READING, PENGUINS!!! This chapter was really heartbreaking for me to write, so I don't know how much longer it will be until the next chapter, because I can't really handle the really depressing stuff for long periods of time. I HOPE YOU LIKED IT, THOUGH, AND PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU DIDN'T IF YOU DID NOT!!!! Till next time...
