[ WP ] Meeting yourself

I was led into the white room. The man in black who took me from my bed and dragged me here finally let go of my arm. 
 
 `` This room is not monitored.'' 
 
 `` Oh great. Well who can I talk to about this giant hand-shaped bruise you gave me!'' 
 
 `` You can do whatever you please.'' 
 
 `` I'd like to speak with your boss about this! It's like your hand gave my arm a hickey.'' 
 
 `` I will be back in an hour to collect you.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, well I doubt this mark'll be gone by then, so you'll be hearing about this later.'' 
 
 `` Any last questions?'' 
 
 `` Yes. By last questions, do you mean like do I have anything to say before you kill me?'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` Wait. No to what?'' 
 
 `` That.'' 
 
 `` Okay. Right. Are you going to kill me?'' 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` Alright, well that was the important part of that question. Why did you bring me here?'' 
 
 `` Social experiment.'' 
 
 `` What the fuck kind of social experiment involves kidnapping a 17 year old from his bed in the middle of the night?'' 
 
 `` This one.'' 
 
 `` I... I guess I deserved that?'' 
 
 `` You did.'' 
 
 `` Alright, you have my permission to fuck off now.'' 
 
 The man left the room. I could've sworn he was smirking. I told myself I would punch him in the face next time I saw him, but I also knew he could break me with his pinky finger, so I let the thought stay as a moral booster and not as a possible plan of escape. As I looked around the room for an escape route, a door opened, making the cool sci-fi voopvoo noise. A girl stepped out, wearing nothing but a white gown. She looked as confused as I was. 
 
 After a short silence, I spoke. 
 
 `` Hi, what's your name?'' 
 
 `` I... I do n't know. My mind feels... empty.'' 
 
 I stared blankly for a couple seconds. 
 
 `` Well... what are some things that are in there?'' 
 
 `` The english language... and this gesture.'' 
 
 `` What's the gesture?'' 
 
 `` It's... it's when two people touch by swinging their hands together.'' 
 
 `` Like a high five?'' 
 
 `` If that's what you want to call it. I want to do that.'' 
 
 `` Uh... okay?'' 
 
 I stepped towards her hesitantly. I got this odd feeling from her. She seemed familiar, but also entirely unfamiliar. The feeling grew as I got closer, and it dawned on me the minute our hands touched. 
 
 `` Oh my gosh.'' 
 
 `` You're female me!'' 
 
 `` And you're male me!'' 
 
 We backed away from each other. 
 
 `` When you touched me, I... I remembered. Everything.'' 
 
 `` Like what?'' 
 
 `` It was definitely called a high five.'' 
 
 `` Okay, everyone knows that, what else?'' 
 
 `` I remember... your first kiss.'' 
 
 She stopped talking and looked me in the eye, looked at me like she was searching for something. And when she found it, she cracked a smile. We both burst out laughing. 
 
 `` Oh my god, you are me! I've never found someone else who finds my loneliness as amusing.'' 
 
 `` Right? First kiss? Haha! You've never been kissed in your life!'' 
 
 `` What else do you remember!'' 
 
 `` There was that time, at the On the Border-'' 
 
 `` Oh, with the waiter?'' 
 
 `` Yeah! That one! Haha, right?'' 
 
 `` Yeah! Wow, this is cool.'' 
 
 `` I've never felt so close to someone before.'' 
 
 `` Too bad right?'' 
 
 `` Yeah. Oh well. I know you'd be the greatest gay best friend.'' 
 
 The lights in the room turned off. A speaker came online. 
 
 `` Wait, what the fuck?! You're gay?!'' 
 
 `` Yeah, no shit.'' 
 
 `` But you wrote that bear suit story!'' 
 
 `` You read that?!'' 
 
 `` Ah, jeez. What a waste of time. Johnny, flip the kill switch.'' 
 
 `` Kill swi-'' 
 
 And suddenly the female version of me burst into flames. 
 
 `` Ohshit! 
 
 She fell to the ground, dead. The room grew dark as the flames that engulfed her sputtered out. 
 
 `` What the hell was that for!'' 
 
 `` Give us a second.'' 
 
 `` And what the hell happened to this room not being monitored!'' 
 
 The lights turned back on. 
 
 `` Was that the experiment?! Were you testing to see how I would react to seeing my female doppelganger burst into flames?! What the hell kind of science is that?'' 
 
 I listened for an answer, but only heard the noise of the door opening again. I turned around, and saw an exact replica of myself. 
 
 `` What the what?'' 
 
 `` Huh?'' 
 
 `` Let me guess. Your mind is empty, but you want to touch hands with me.'' 
 
 `` Yes... but I think there's something else. A... question.'' 
 
 `` Huh? That's... new. What's the question?'' 
 
 `` Are you a top or a bottom?'' 
 
 I staggered back a little bit before regaining composure and walking towards my doppelganger. I high fived him, went to the nearest wall and sat down as he caught up to the current situation. 
 
 `` Oh no fucking way.'' 
 
 `` Yes fucking way.'' 
 
 `` Seriously you guys? That's what this experiment is about?'' 
 
 `` Right? They took me out of bed for this.'' 
 
 `` Ah jeez guys. That's ridiculously creepy. And illegal! I'm only 17 for pete's sake!'' 
 
 `` Yup.'' 
 
 `` Fuck. Guys, you are seriously messed up. What could you even learn from this?'' 
 
 `` The answer to the deeply philosophical question:'Would you fuck yourself?''' 
 
 `` Sheesh. That's stupid. They did that to your arm for all this!'' 
 
 `` Right! It's still red.'' 
 
 And my doppelganger exploded into flames again. The man in black opened the door and poked his head in. 
 
 `` Get out.'' 
 
 `` I'll have you know, this guy had some things to tell you before you went and exploded him.'' 
 
 `` Get. Out.'' 
 
 I got up, stepping over the burnt corpses of both my male and female doppelgangers before the man in black led me out of the white room and back to my home.
