     "JUSTIN! Why did you leave all of this until last minute!" I said putting things in the suitcase. He just ignored me and grabbed more clothes to pack as I ran to the bathroom to pack toiletries. I grabbed everything he needed for the month and put it in a plastic bag to be put in the suitcase. "Are you good with clothes? I am almost good with toiletries and electronics" I said grabbing chargers.  "Yeah, I'm done" Justin said checking the time on his phone. I grabbed the last charger and put it in a bag. "I
am finished as well" I said putting the bag of chargers into the suitcase and picking up the suitcase to put in my car. 
     "Are you ready to meet Erika?" Justin asked getting into the car with me. "I'm ready" I said grabbing my carry on bag. The flight was going to take 11 hours. 11 hours of being cramped inside a big plane in uncomfortable seats. Great.
     The drive there was about 10 minutes and we entered the plane. Many seats were already taken by couples and elderly. The couples were probably on their honeymoon as  the ladies playing with their rings. I sat down and waited for my plane buddie to board.
  I shook my head as I watched them pile in. They bumped into everything as they walked. Robert sat beside me with his stuff. "Hey Erin" Robert said to me pulling out his phone. His phone beeped, signaling it was dead. "How did I know this would happen?" I replied, handing Robert a mint-colored battery pack. "Thanks Erin" Robert said plugging up my phone. 
     I listened to my music most of the time. I had really been getting to songs from the musical "Hamilton." After arriving we got off the plane. My luggage was pretty easy to find with cacti all over it. I grabbed my bags and waited for my friends. it was taking a while to find their luggage so I decided to go get some coffee. 
      "$5.99 Ma'ma" said the lady at the counter. She was pretty, orange hair with green eyes. Her orange locks flowed out from under her hat. She had an apron that went down to her knees. She was a few inches taller than me. I handed her a $10  and picked up my coffee. "Here is your change" said the girl handing me 4 ones. "Thanks" I replied sipping my coffee. I walked out counting the ones to make sure she didn't give me to much. A slip of paper was tucked between the ones.

     I looked back at the lady. She did the same thing, making eye contact. She winked with a grin. I looked down, dust covering my cheeks. "Hey Erin" Lindsey said tapping my shoulder. I turn around stuffing the slip of paper in my back-pocket. "Hey guys! Did you guys get your luggage?" I asked looking at everyone. "Yep, let's head to the hotel" Lindsey replied. I turned around and as soon as I did i bumped into a girl. She looked my age, a little taller than me. She had the same color hair and eyes. She was wearing a white skirt with a plain back shirt tucked in the skirt. "I'm sorry, my name is Erin" I apologized getting up. I held out my hand to help her up, which she happily accepted. "Erika, nice to meet you" she replied holding out her hand. 
     "Erika?" i replied. It made sense now, the same colored hair, eyes, and how we almost look exactly alike. I stood in awe at the woman in front of me. 

     Then everything went black
