After his first Gym Workout.

You finished your last set before re-racking the bar. While you felt satisfied about completing the workout, you were mildly annoyed at the trainer that you got paired with.

Mountain Builders was a kinda old Gym, you remember it being rebuilt during your childhood, their unique system for training had made accidents and issues less common. They had divided the gym into 2 sections, a common area with all the common gear, and a therapy room, for those who need physiotherapy. All of them have Cameras with a live viewer during hours, ensuring fast responses to any problems that might arise.

Them operating as both a therapy center and a regular workout center meant the place was generally more accepting of people who were starting out. This is why you chose to get a membership with them, even purchasing a 'trainer day' deal that would teach you how to use the gear. You'd selected random when signing up and got paired with a trainer, a guy by the name of Alex Moore, but you didn't expect what would meet you, as you'd apparently missed something.

Alex Moore wasn't a guy, Alex possibly being a nickname, she was a quite attractive and fit girl, and was very curt from the start. You at first though it was due to your lack of knowledge about the gear, or maybe your body being out of shape. But after a bit you figured out what the issue was.

But it was when another gym goer approached and tried to flirt with her that it set in why she was so cold. The dude got completely shot down for asking for a private session, and even got told if he tries something like that again he'll be put on probation. After the guy slipped off, she muttered to herself "Why do I always deal with these jokers.", which clicked why she seemed to be so cold.

She probably thought you had selected her, especially given your mild joke to try and ease the tension. But you'd likely just cemented her opinion that you weren't serious about working out. She probably thought you selected her to flirt with, though you hadn't really the confidence to flirt with anyone, at least currently.

You understood why the guy approached, she seemed to be quite attractive. Standing about 5' 8" with short black hair, blue eyes, slim and fit, with moderate breasts and a decent figure overall. She was in a tank-top and well fitting shorts, with a mild tan. You could understand why people were attracted to her, but you didn't feel like you could work up the courage to try flirting with her.

That was almost an hour ago, now as you were finishing up your last exercise she approached, having stepped away to assist another gym goer, but she didn't give off the same unfriendliness she had before.

"Well, that's all the gear you'll need. You are all set to begin training." She said, the former curtness in her voice having faded somewhat.

You'd just given her a nod before you moved to gather you stuff. But as you got up, having packed up your water bottle and notepad into a backpack with your other outfit, you saw she held out her hand for a handshake.

As you reached out to shake her hand, you wished you could know what's going on in her head, after the handshake you just excused yourself to get a quick shower before you leave. You ignored her odd look of befuddlement, whatever is up with her isn't your problem, you'll probably just switch to that buff guy you saw earlier, who was hyping up his client.

You also ignored that weird itch in the back of your head, and your brain seeming to make up random conversations with her, though they didn't make sense to you. All that just faded into the background.

After a somewhat quick shower, you left the locker room. But when you got close to the front desk, you crossed paths with Ms Moore again. She felt different somehow, that weird itch returned as she approached you.

"Hey, could we talk after this. I don't have anybody else on schedule right now. I want to apologize and explain for my prior behavior." Her tone was, different. It was more gentile and felt like it was trying to flirt. But you weren't sure if she was, besides she was so frosty before, surely she wouldn't be flirting with you.

You didn't see the harm, so after saying "Sure" she asked if you both could meet at the cafe down the road. After signing out, you went over to the cafe, seeing her in a corner table, you sat down to see what this all was about. But you didn't expect her to grin and say

"This will sound totally crazy, but somehow your mind cloned itself into 'my' body, so right now I'm kinda both you and 'myself'."

What.
