Hm. Well, this is certainly... Interesting... [The angel mused as he stared at all of the glittering stars.] I never imagined that I would be seeing any of this close up. This can't possibly be a dream, because I know that I didn't go to sleep. But, I can't figure out how on Earth I came to be here.

[Bringing his eyes down from the sparkling heavens, he spotted the Information Desk.] Ah! Just what I was hoping for. Perhaps there will be something there that can tell me where I am. Or how I came to be here. [Walking over to the Information Desk, he spent some time perusing the available texts. After he's read through both (and thoroughly scoffed at Mr. Explosion's guide), he goes back to studying his surroundings.] What a curious place! I think I'll explore a bit before trying to go back. This does seem like the sort of thing that Crowley might like. Though... I wonder if he's already here? It would make sense that they would bring us both here at the same time... I wonder if anyone else has been brought here... [Still musing on this line of thought, Aziraphale wanders off towards the other buildings to see what there is to see.]

[Crowley is out and about on the Plane for once (as in, going out further than from between his room and the bar, which are right next to each other). And here he is, strolling (well, staggering) near the Information desk and hearing...

Huh... What a familiar scenario this is... Walking near the Information Booth, drunk, and hearing Aziraphale's voice...

He heads toward the sounds. It's almost as if... It's almost as if... Naw, it can't be.

The demon turns the corner, spotting the angel. There's definitely something odd about him. Like he's... A different Aziraphale. He shrugs it off as drunkenness.

But bloody hell, it's so good to see Aziraphale again. He steps over to him with swift strides (hardly stumbling at all!). Crowley reaches for Aziraphale and pulls him close. He hesitates for only a moment, lips brushing together before he kisses him wholeheartedly.]

Angel, if you bloody forgot about me for two bloody months for a book, I'm going to be very upset.

[What astral plane would be complete without a seven-year-old detective disconsolately poking around the place.

I will leave it to you to decide whether he caught Azipharale's mention of Crowley or witnessed Crowley's ... greeting -- either way you've got his attention.]

Ah -- you're a friend of Crowley-san's?

Ah, Crowle- [The angel is cut off by the rather unexpected kiss.]

What on Earth are you talking about? And what was t-that kiss for?

It been two bloody long months since you were here last. [He frowns a bit, a thought crossing his mind that hadn't been there before.] Did you just not like fucking me as a lady?

[Why yes, he's still rather drunk.]

[For Aziraphale's sake, we'll go with him just hearing the angel mention Crowley.]

I am! Is he here as well?

Did I not like... [This right here. This is the angel turning bright red.]

Are you drunk?

[Poor guy.]

He is but ... I didn't really expect to meet anyone from his world here.

Has he been here for very long?

Longer than I have! Ne, are you a friend of his?

You would be too... Thought I lost you, Angel.

[Luckily for him, his sunglasses are hiding the deep pain in his eyes from view. But his brows are furrowed and he's gently caressing the angel's cheek.]

I thought you weren't coming back.

I am! Though, he probably wouldn't say that...

I wonder how he's been here for so long. I swear I saw him just before arriving here.

But... This is my first time here.

Why's that? And what's your name?

Oh, that's easy -- time doesn't pass here!

He's not one to say things like that. Ah, I'm sorry! I'm Aziraphale.

...It doesn't?

-- you're Aziraphale?

...Yes? Has he mentioned me?

... What?

[A part of his mind agreed. This Aziraphale didn't feel like the other one. He lets him go a bit awkwardly.]

Another one?

Ah. Repeatedly.

... Ne ... It's possible you might be from earlier than Crowley-san, time-wise.

Another what? Crowley, what are you talking about?

I'm going to regret thisss, I think... [He shivers as he sobers up.]

You're not the first Aziraphale to grace the Astral Plane.

How is that possible...?

My first day here I ran into another of me... He...

[His brows furrow a bit and he picks up the angels hand to give it a goooood sniff.]

Actually, I think you're from his reality.

There was another you? [He's not sure how he feels about there being two Crowleys...]

Do you mean to say that there are different realities, with different versions of us? [...The sniff is a little weird.]

Aziraphale! [Beaming, Gwen rushed over to greet him.] Have you spoken to Crowley? He's going to be delighted to see you.

That's about the size of it.

So you're from the reality where the apocalypse didn't happen and both of us are still alive.

[He pulls out the iPhone 4 that the other Crowley had given him months ago.] And you have these things. Well, maybe not you specifically, but your Earth.
