Chapter two, in which Wilson and Cameron talk things over, with worrying conclusions...

Cameron chewed her lip as Wilson wore a path into his office carpet. Abruptly he stopped.

"Do you believe in alternate dimensions?" he asked to the air then spun on his heel to stare at Cameron.

"Um.. I've never really given it much thought. I think maybe you should sit down." Wilson plumped onto the couch and his hand went straight to the back of his neck.

"What if this is one?"

"Wilson, this world is real. I'm real, you're real; now please will you explain to me what's got you into this state?"

"No, don't you get it? This world isn't real to me- I'm sure of it! Before I fell asleep, I was in 2010, but a 2010 where you had left the hospital after divorcing Chase and also had different hair!"

"I know." Wilson's voice cracked. "What if I can't get back? I don't even know how this happened to start with!" A note of panic was creeping into his voice.

"You have to stay calm, Wilson. I think it would help if we establish exactly what's different between the two supposed worlds."

"What good will that do?"

"Look, it's either that or you go get a pysche evaluation."

"Ok. Where do we start then?"

"Maybe start with people? Describe what they're like or something. I know, tell me about your version of House. He's probably exactly the same."

"Rude, crippled and a genius?" Cameron almost smiled, but the worried look was still in her eyes. "Well, here goes..."
