Long time no see!", and upon seeing the look of confusion on Alice's face asks "Oh, wait, have we 'met' yet?" This is most common in series with Stable Time Loop style Time Travel, since it makes the most sense if the future meeting is already predetermined. Examples of Have We Met Yet? include:

If the timeline has been changed to them never having met, one may comment that the other seems familiar, but it must be their imagination. Examples of Have We Met Yet? include:
