The problems with alternate reality is that they fade away very fast.

I seem to recall  going to a new area where my name is different, and someone else's name is different. A schoolmate from my younger years looking out for me, but I was too busy fighting someone off (I didn't even know I can fight that way, or that I can even fight!).

When I'm done with the fighting, getting back to the rest of the gang, and then trying to figure out who was looking for me, that person was gone. Alas!
