Ace wandered around until he found the familiar building. He had no idea where Chad’s room was, so he asked around until someone pointed him in the general direction. When he finally got to his dorm, he heard loud shouting coming from inside.

Ace worried that it would be Vanessa, but instead, he was greeted by Aurora.

Like cats they inspected each silently, looking one another up and down. Aurora opened the door and Ace walked in, confused and very uncomfortable. Chad was sweaty and pale after being screamed at for about five minutes, and he was slowly convincing Aurora that Vanessa was lying. In walked her proof, and Chad was now thinking about the things they would say at his funeral.

“I came for my phone,” Ace said awkwardly.

Aurora came up to him and glared, inspecting him all over. Ace was extremely uncomfortable as she circled him like a hyena. He was even more uncomfortable seeing that he and Aurora were the same height, and was feeling self-conscious yet again.

“Where did you find this shapeshifter,” Aurora asked. “You know they aren’t allowed on this side of town!”

Chad ignored her and walked over to his dresser. He opened the top drawer and got out Ace’s phone. Aurora teleported over and snatched it out of his hand.

“That’s mine,” Ace shouted.

“I guess you know what it feels like to have someone else take what’s yours. ”

“He told me you two weren’t together.”

“You what?”

“I’m tired of you arguing with me and then making up with me like three days later,” Chad screamed.

“We don’t make up,” Aurora corrected him. “You come back to me on your hands and knees begging for forgiveness.”

Ace's entire paradigm had shifted from what had happened.

“I thought you led him on all the time…,” Ace said. “That’s what it sounded like to me.”

“No,” Aurora sighed. “Did he trick you? I know he’s a liar .”

“I am not-”

“So what else did he tell you,” Aurora asked.

“He told me you make up a new problem every week.”

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Aurora nodded, smiling yet somehow still looking furious.

“Yeah, you know, at first I was disturbed that you fucked the dollar store version of me, but I think this is good for us,” she said.

“We never-”

Aurora handed him his phone and Ace glared at Chad.

“Men are horrible,” Aurora whispered.

“I think you’re onto something,” Ace agreed, just happy to get his phone back.

“I’m sorry,” Chad said. “Let’s just forget this happened!”

Aurora walked over to the bookcase and grabbed a shoe.

“We can talk about this,” Chad pleaded.

The shoe disappeared in her hand.

“You bitch,” Chad screeched. “That pair is seven hundred dollars !”

"Now it's three-fifty," Aurora said cooly.

“How did you do that,” Ace asked.

“I can teleport objects without moving with them,” Aurora replied.

Ace wondered if he could do the same too, and also was surprised that he never thought of it first.

“I think you owe me and uh….,” Aurora trailed off. “What’s your name?”

“Ace,” he grunted.

“You owe me and Ace an apology. Not another one of your bullshit half-baked ones either. ”

Ace was sure he liked his other self a lot.

“Why do I have to apologize to him?”

Aurora grabbed a separate pair and they disappeared.

“I can keep doing this all day,” Aurora grinned.

“I’ll kill you,” Chad screamed.

“You’re a pomeranian,” Aurora giggled. “Tiny. All bark and no bite.”

Ace watched as Aurora went around his room, disappearing his things. Ace grinned as Chad pleaded for her to stop. He tried catching her but she just blinked to the other side of the room, and she began again, disappearing all his possessions. Chad was too stupid to check inside his bathroom, where she sent all of his stuff.

At this point, he was crying over what he thought was thousands of lost dollars in shoes and Aurora finally was satisfied.

"Unless you change I’m not taking you back,” Aurora declared. She took Ace by the arm.

“Let’s go. Fuck him.”

They left and Chad screamed in his half-empty room.
