Summary: The Enterprise crew gets stuck in the 21st century! How will they cope and how will they get back to their century using our technology? (It's humor, but if people want romance, I can do that)
Author's Notes: I know I write Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction but I also love Enterprise and decided to start writing when I heard they were canceling the show so…on with the fic!
"We've lost hull plating sir!" Malcolm said. Enterprise had run into some Klingon battle cruiser while exploring new territory.
"Photonic torpedoes, full spread!" Archer ordered, rising up from his chair.
"It's no use sir, I can't penetrate their shields!" Malcolm responded. He frantically scanned over the Klingon ships, looking for a good target.
"Captain, a mysterious disturbance has originated 400 km from our position," T'Pol said.
"What is it?" Archer walked behind T'Pol's seat.
"It appears to be a sub-space distortion. A wormhole of some sorts," she responded.
"Travis, take us in," Archer commanded.
"But sir…" he started to protest.
"That wormhole might be our only hope," Archer said. Just then, a shot hit the bridge, as if to prove his point. "Take us in."
"Aye aye sir," Travis doubtfully said.
Enterprise soared towards the wormhole, narrowly missing the Klingon ships.
"100 km sir," Travis said. "50….20…..10…5…we're in."
Enterprise started to rock, speeding forward like they were the cork shot out of a bottle. Just as quickly as the ride had begun, it stopped.
"Sir, that's Earth!" Malcolm said in awe.
"What are we doing here?" Travis asked.
"Get a transport team assembled and get down there. Find out if everything's all right," Archer ordered.
1 hour later, 6 people materialized out of nowhere in an empty park. Archer, T'Pol, Trip, Hoshi, Malcolm, and Travis stretched and examined their surroundings.
"Cap'n, I'm pretty sure this isn't Earth," Trip stated.
"What makes you think that?" Archer asked.
Trip pointed to a parking lot across the street. "You see those, umm…. 'cars' over there?" he said.
"Yes?" T'Pol responded demurely.
"I know for a fact that Earth outlawed cars in 2089," he said. "They were too harmful to the ozone layer with the dangerous gasses they produced."
"He's right," Malcolm said. "This definitely isn't Earth in 2154."
"Arghh!" Travis exclaimed. "You mean we're in the middle of another time travel adventure?"
"It would appear so," T'Pol said, keeping her calm in the middle of a crisis.
"Split up and meet at these coordinates in 2 hours," Archer ordered, transferring the information to their padds. "Try to be there on time," he said, staring hard at Trip.
"What?" he asked. "Why does everyone always look at me strangely?"
Everybody else rolled their eyes.
At the prearranged time, the Enterprise crew met at the location which just happened to be…..Starbucks Coffee.
"Why are we here?" Travis asked, staring around at all the customers. He was well aware that they were still wearing their blue Enterprise uniforms and really stuck out among all the people dressed in jeans and tee shirts.
"This is…er…was a Starfleet contact center," Hoshi explained. "But now it's a local shop where citizens can go to entertain themselves and get coffee.
Here, Trip brightened. "Did you say coffee?" he asked. "I'm getting one!" He quickly exited their booth and walked towards the counter.
"Commander," T'Pol said. "It would not be wise to draw attention to yourself." The warning was lost on Trip as he strode towards the bar.
"Hey sir, can I have a cuppa coffee?" he asked.
The owner gave Trip's uniform a quick once over before grudgingly handing him a cup. Satisfied, Trip walked back to the table.
Archer cleared his throat. "Now that we all have our beverages," here Trip grinned over his cup, "let us continue with our briefing. Did anyone find out what year this is?" he asked.
"I did sir," Hoshi responded. "We were right in thinking that this is not 2154. In fact, it is 2005."
Stunned silence fell over the crew.
"2005?" they all screamed.
To Be Continued
Yay! Chapter 1 done! Now I know it probably wasn't the most exciting chapter ever, but it will get better! I promise!
