Rikki closed her eyes and concentrated, sifting through her jumbled memories. Random flashes jostled through her mind. One moment she saw her male self going through trig at college, while another second she remembered her first sleepover with her girlfriends in sixth grade, then back to her male memories going on a date with an older Emily.
"No... no it's not an older Emily that IS Emily." She thought to herself. She had to remind herself that she wasn't a her at all. She refocused and finally was able to focus enough to think about her class schedule.
"Okay, I think I remember." Rikki sighed. "At this time I should be going to math... what about you?"
"I have Science with Mr. Rodriguez." Emily sadly replied. "Dammit, I was afraid of this."
"Emily I don't want to split up!" Rikki said starting to hyperventilate slightly. "What if I forget who I was... what if I don't remember what we were together... what if..." She continued before Emily interrupted with a hug.
"It's gonna be okay sis. I have a feeling that we'll be fine." She reassured, as she backed off to give her a smile. "We can do this. All we have to do is get through a single day of high school, not even, and then we're home free."
"But... what if Mom and Dad mess with it?" She asked.
"Then we'll deal with that too. You go this Rikk- I mean, Rick. See you soon." She smiled before walking off.
"Later." Rikki whispered, before turning around and heading to her class.
She just had to get through the day, and then everything will hopefully be fine.
