JEDEDIAH POV:

Octavious is unbelievable tonight. We have been dating for a while now. Tonight we were talking about life and which one of our exhibits is better. Octavious said that Rome was better. Can you believe that? So one of the people visiting that night suggested that we spend a day in each other world. Tonight I will spend as a Roman man and tomorrow Octavious will be a cowboy. I came to life and ran off to see Octavious. Some of my old west friends came with me to watch the drama. We made it to the Rome exhibit and I found Octavious setting up for the wedding. We also agreed to have a wedding in this day in the life.

"Hey Octy" I said as I walked up to Octavious.

"Jedediah, glad you could make it" said Octavious when he turned around to see me.

I kissed Octavious on the lips quick.

"So, how does this whole wedding thing work" I asked.

"Well first you have to dress the part" said Octavious.

"Okay, so you going to give me your helmet or something" I asked.

"No, instead" Octavious started.

I followed him to a table. Octavious picked up some clothing and gave it to me.

"Put this on and then I will help you with the armor" said Octavious.

"Okay, is there a private place to change" I asked.

"Ya, come on" said Octavious.

I followed him to where he lives and he took me to his bedroom where I was able to change. Octavious waited outside the room. I took my stuff off and laid it on the bed as I changed. I picked up the, what? How? I put the shirt and then the bottoms. There was shorts and then a skirt thing. I feel so weird wearing this.

"Hey Octavious" I called out to him.

"Is everything okay" asked Octavious.

"Can you come in here quick" I asked.

Octavious entered the room and smiled when he saw me.

"What am I wearing" I asked.

"Its a Roman outfit. It's the most popular style here" said Octavious.

"I don't understand how you can wear this. I feel like I'm wearing a dress" I said.

"You're not. And you look really good in the outfit" said Octavious.

I looked at myself. I adjusted the skirt and looked at Octavious.

"I suppose. Although I prefer my usual clothes" I said.

I can also tell these clothes smell weird.

"Why do these clothes smell weird? I mean did someone piss in this or something" I asked.

Octavious was silent for a minute.

"How do you wash your clothes in the west" asked Octavious nervously.

I was confused by this. Rome can't be that different for washing clothes right? I mean they might of not had a wash board or the same kind of soap but over all it was probably the same.

"With soap and water. We put the clothes in a tub of water and use a wash board to get the clothes clean and then rinse before hanging to dry" I said nervously.

"Oh" said Octavious nervously.

He's hiding something.

"Why, how do you wash your clothes in Rome" I asked nervously.

I assume they wash clothes here. They take baths. Octavious thought about how to tell me for a second.

"We uh, we just use, urine" said Octavious nervously.

I felt so many emotions at once. I am so disgusted. Octavious gave a fake smile as he saw the look on my face.

"Ew, that's disgusting Octy. You pee in clothes" I said.

"No we don't pee in them. We pee in buckets around the city and then put our clothes in a tub and wash them with urine and other stuff" said Octavious.
