Chapter 1
Bogg and Jeffrey land on some soft grass with a thud. Jeffrey stands up and brushes the grass off his clothes. "it's nice to land on grass instead of cobblestone." Bogg stands up and looks around." You're telling me."
Bogg grabs the Omni off his belt and opens it up, "March 21, 1961 Liverpool, England and it's a green light kid." Jeffrey's eyes get big. "Oh my god, Liverpool England 1961, Bogg!" Bogg raises his eyebrow. "So?" Jeffrey rolls his eyes. "Are you kidding me, this is where the Beatles live."
"Beatles, what's a Beatle?" Bogg asked a confused look on his face. Jeffrey rolls his eyes. "Not Beatle, Beatles, only the most famous rock band ever to come to America in 1964, I use to listen to my dad's old 45's, he had a nice collection and they are the ones back in the 60's who created their own sound."
Bogg scratches his head. "I still don't get it." Jeffrey smiles. "It's nice to see a green light." Bogg smiles widely. "I guess this means we can relax and enjoy it and I can see them play, maybe we'll get to meet them too." Jeffrey smiles, "Yeah." "Come on let's go."
Bogg motions for Jeffrey to start walking. Bogg and Jeffrey walk around Liverpool, they get stares, Jeffrey pulls Bogg into a store, and they get some clothes to blend in. When they walk out, Jeffrey is checking out his clothes. "These are so cool, I feel like I'm from the 60's."
"I really haven't traveled in the 60's, the closest I got to the 60's is when I met Elvis and Marilyn Monroe and that was in like march and April in 1959." Bogg stops walking when they get to a corner. "Well Bogg, the Beatles become really big in America in 1964 and well even in 1982, people still listen to them and worships them. When they did split up and go solo, some of them stayed famous."
"So what's up with the weird name?" Jeffrey looked up at Bogg. "Well according to what my dad told me the were the Silver Beatles first, but then just stuck with The Beatles, but he never told me why and I know Ringo Starr hasn't joined the band yet until August 8, 1962, and when they did invade America it was crazy."
Jeffrey notices a club called The Cavern. "Hey Bogg, look The Cavern." Bogg looked both ways and crosses the street. Jeffrey walks next to him. "Great, maybe we can get something to eat and drink."
Bogg and Jeffrey walk up to the club, they hand the man some money and head in, they head to a table, Bogg gets to the table first, when Jeffrey bumps into someone and knocks her down. "Hey why don't you watch where you're going?"
Jeffrey holds out his hand and helps her stand up, the girl brushes off her clothes. "Um sorry about that we were just in a hurry to sit down to hear the band that's playing here."
The girl has to look up at Jeffrey." Next time watch where you're going ok? "Jeffrey watches as the girl leaves and then sits down next to Bogg. " What was that all about?" Jeffrey shrugs his shoulders, "Nothing."
The girl sits down next to a woman with blond hair, they are talking. "What was that all about?"
The girl rolls her eyes annoyed." Somebody knocked me down again, I swear sometimes, people need to watch where they are going."
The woman asks. "So what did you find out?" The girl smiles, "They are playing tonight and then they are suppose to leave and go back to Hamburg Germany on March 24, 1961, let's hope the Omni stays green."
The woman looks at the girl and sighs. "You know, I've only read about them." The girl smiles. " Well it's only 1961, Ringo hasn't joined yet, he doesn't join until 1962 and then in 1964 they invade America and that's when the whole craziness starts."
Bogg orders drinks, Jeffrey gets a soda, while Bogg orders a beer and they wait for the band to perform. "Thanks for taking me to Liverpool Bogg." Jeffrey takes a drink of his soda. "Well happy 18th birthday Jeff, were you surprised? Jeffrey laughs, "You got me this time Bogg, be right back." Bogg gets up. "Jeffrey I'm gonna go see about a room at that hotel across the street, it shouldn't take very long ok?" Jeffrey smiles, "Ok."
Jeffrey gets up and heads to the bathroom, at the same time the girl gets up and heads to the bathroom too, they both get to the bathrooms and bump into each other again. "Oh, hi." The girl smiles, looking up at Jeffrey. Jeffrey notices how petite the girl is. "Hi, I'm really sorry about before." The girl smiles. "It's ok, you didn't break anything."
Jeffrey can't help, but to smile. "Good." The girl leans against the wall. "Sorry I snapped at you, it's just that I happen to get knocked down a lot, cause I'm vertical challenged." Jeffrey can't help, but to smile wider. "You mean, cause you're petite." The girl laughs, "Yeah."
The girl turns and goes into the women's bathroom. Jeffrey watched the girl walk away and then headed to the men's, a few minutes later he comes out and heads back to Bogg. The girl comes out a minute after and heads back to her table.
"I think we should stay for a couple of days, since we don't have to worry about a blinking red Omni." "Sounds groovy." "Groovy?" The girl laughs, "Just something they say in this time, it means good." The woman gets up. "I'm gonna get something to drink, you want something?
The girl nods her head. " Just a soda, they should have something called Coca Cola." The woman smiles. "Coca Cola, got it."
The girl watches as the woman gets up and leaves, she slowly pulls the Omni out of her pocket. opens it up and looks at the green light, she smiles and then puts it back in her pocket for safe keeping.
Meanwhile the girl didn't notice Jeffrey watching her and then turns to Bogg. "Bogg." Bogg is looking around when he looks at Jeffrey. "Hmm?" Jeffrey leans forward. "That girl I bumped into has an Omni." Jeffrey motions at the table across from them.
Bogg looks at Jeffrey. "Impossible, I mean its kind of dark in here." Jeffrey rolls his eyes. "Not that dark." Bogg raises and eyebrow, "What would that girl be doing with an Omni?" Jeffrey sighs, "How should I know."
Bogg watches as a tall blond woman goes back to the table and sits down, she hands the girl a glass and then takes a sip from beer glass, Bogg's eyes get wide and then he turns to Jeffrey
"Remember when we landed on the TITANIC and we met a woman voyager by the name of Olivia Dunn?"
Jeffrey nods his head. "Yeah, she got kidnapped and we had to help her rescue the MONA LISA painting and I got bit by that rabid dog and then she was going to quit, but she never did and you to were fighting almost the whole time, why?"
Bogg leans in and whispers. "I think that's her over there with the girl." Jeffrey gently hits Bogg in the arm. "I told you." Bogg gets up. "Come on." Jeffrey gets up and follows Bogg to the table. "Hello Olivia." Olivia looks up at Bogg and Jeffrey. "Hello Bogg, Jeffrey."
The girl looks at Olivia and then back at Jeffrey and Bogg. "Bogg? You mean that is the person Bogg you were telling me about and he must be Jeffrey. "Morgan points to Jeffrey. " He's the one I bumped into twice already."
Bogg looks at the girl and then back at Olivia. "We meet again." Bogg looks at the girl again and smiles. "Morgan, this is Phineas Bogg and that is Jeffrey Jones, boys this is Morgan Jacobs, my partner." Morgan smiles up at them. "I've heard a lot about you two."
Bogg looks at Olivia. "Olivia is there somewhere we can talk in private?" Olivia gets up. "Sure, Morgan I'll be right back." Morgan smiles. "No problem." "Be back soon."
Bogg and Olivia leave, Jeffrey sits down across from Morgan. "So what's your story?" Morgan leans back in the chair, she takes a drink of her soda and then sets it down. "You mean why I'm with her?" Jeffrey nods his head. "Yeah."
Morgan sighs. "Well it's a long story, I mean I never dreamed I would be here, let alone traveling through time to help history and make sure it's corrected, if that's what you mean." Jeffrey leans forward. "I have a feeling they will be gone for awhile." Morgan leans forward to look in Jeffrey's eyes. "So what's your story Jeffrey?"
Jeffrey shook his head. "I asked you first." Morgan laughed. "Oh right." Morgan begins in the beginning, she occasionally stops. Jeffrey listens as she tells him what happened to her. "If it wasn't for Olivia, I'd be dead, so since she couldn't take me back, cause her Omni only goes up to 1971, she had to take me with her and if you're wondering about her guidebook, she lost in the fire when she saved me."
Jeffrey let his elbows rest on the table " How long have you've been with her?" Morgan thought for a moment, finally she smiled. "Well it's kind of hard to keep track, but I've already had 4 birthdays since being with her, so it's been 4 years?"
Jeffrey smiled, "5 here, but when Bogg was on trial, we found out I was suppose to be a voyager."
Morgan sighs, she takes a drink from her glass and then sets it down, she grabs a pretzel." Well, I'm not sure if I was suppose to be one, but it hasn't been that bad, I mean I met some famous people already and I don't have a family, so Olivia is like my family now." Morgan eats the pretzel.
Jeffrey takes a pretzel. "Yeah, it does have its advantages." Meanwhile Bogg and Olivia found a private spot to talk. "So what happened, now you're working with a partner?" Olivia sighs. "It's kind of a long story." Bogg leans in and whispers. "I'm listening."
Olivia grabs Bogg's hand and to a private corner to sit and talk. "Well my Omni must of needed an overhaul, cause it got stuck in automatic and it was so weird, I land in Chicago and I don't recognize it, I had set the Omni for November 22, New York, 1920, instead I find out it's 1983. Which is impossible, cause my Omni only goes up to 1971."
Bogg raises his eyebrow. "Right." Olivia continues. "Well I landed outside this house and I hear all this shouting. I go to investigate and this girl is trying to get out of the house, she's banging on the window and pulling on it, but she can't open it, so I take a brick and I knock all the glass out."
"I grab her from inside and I land next to her and it must have triggered the Omni, cause the next thing is we land where I had set the Omni in the first place. When we land she isn't moving, so I carried her to a house."
"She wakes up like 5 hours later, the doctor that came, told me that she had inhaled lots of smoke and if I hadn't gotten her out when I did, she would of died. I didn't have the heart to leave her there, so we've been traveling together since." Bogg leans in. "But you don't need her, you got your guidebook."
Olivia shakes her head. "No I lost it in the house and I'm pretty sure it burned up. Anybody who was in that house was a goner, including my guidebook and she is like really book smart and has helped me a lot. Of course at first she had a hard time believing that time travel is possible and she had never heard of us."
Bogg couldn't help smiling; he remembered how Jeffrey reacted to the mention of time travel. "So what brings you here? Olivia smiles. "Morgan, she talked a lot about this band and I thought why not take her. I'm just happy it's a green light and not a red light and we don't have to work and we can just relax for a couple days."
Bogg smiles. " I brought Jeffrey for his birthday." Olivia smiles back at Bogg as she takes his hand and gently squeezes it. "I don't know about you, but I'm glad to see you." Bogg nods in agreement. "It's nice to see a familiar face." Olivia squeezes Bogg's hand again. "Bogg, I've missed you." Bogg squeezes her hand back. "I've missed you too."
Bogg leans in and kisses Olivia, Bogg deepens the kiss and Olivia responds to it, but Olivia pulls away. "Not here, Jeffrey and I got a room." Olivia smiles. "You don't think they will mind do you?"
Bogg shakes his head. "No."
Olivia follows Bogg to the room, he pulls off the do not disturb sign and hangs it on the outside of the door, then he makes sure it is locked. Olivia pulls Bogg from the door and they kiss. There kisses becoming more passionate each time.
Meanwhile Jeffrey and Morgan are waiting for Bogg and Olivia, since they haven't showed up yet. "I doubt they will be back, I have this strange feeling they are catching up." Jeffrey takes a drink of his soda; he takes another pretzel and eats it. "Well, they haven't seen each other for along time."
Morgan leans over to Jeffrey and whispers. "What I'm trying to say is that, I have this feeling that they are together in our room or the one that you and Bogg got." Jeffrey sits up. "Oh." Morgan laughs, "Yeah, so I doubt they will be back tonight at all." Jeffrey looks at the stage and then at Morgan. "That's too bad, they're going to miss a great show."
Meanwhile Bogg and Olivia are still in the room, Olivia is laying with her arm around his waist, her head on his chest. Bogg is holding her hand, he had to admit it was nice having a woman in his arms again, and it had been a long time, since picking up Jeffrey.
Olivia whispers. "Bogg." "Umm." Olivia lifts her head and looks down at Bogg. "I'm glad you're here." Bogg rubs Olivia's arm gently. "What were the chances of us being in the same place again?" Olivia thinks for a minute. "Slim."
Morgan and Jeffrey watched the show; they stand up and clap. Morgan turned to Jeffrey. "That was great." Jeffrey smiles. "Especially the last two songs." Morgan sits back down. "Yeah, those two were great."
Jeffrey sits down, reaches over, and touches Morgan's hand gently. "Don't you miss your family?" Jeffrey asks in a whisper. "I don't have a family anymore, they died when I was only 8."
"I was living in a foster home, when a fire broke out and that's when Olivia showed up, she saved my life when she landed there and rescued me, I don't have anything to go back to Jeffrey."
Jeffrey looked at Morgan and whispered, "My parents died when I was 11 and then I moved in with my aunt and uncle. Bogg showed up and my dog attacked him and grabbed his guidebook."
"I was knocked out of a window and Bogg rescued me and that's how I ended up traveling with him, I'm an orphan just like you." Morgan smiles. "So that's how you became a voyager."
Jeffrey nods his head. "Yeah, at first I was really mad, but then after awhile Bogg and I became close and it wasn't so bad traveling and fixing history, he's my family now and I wouldn't change it for the world."
Morgan sighs. "I woke up in a bed and I didn't know where I was. I was confused, Olivia is staring down at me, and I was shocked to find out where I was and who she was. I'm thankful that I got a second chance and we've been together ever since."
Meanwhile back with Bogg and Olivia. Bogg and Olivia catch up, they have a lot to talk about "I was pretty sure that when I was on trial, I wouldn't be a voyager anymore and Jeffrey would be sent back to 1982 and wouldn't have any memory of me, where he's been or the Omni."
Olivia looked down at Bogg into his blue eyes. "But it all turned out ok." Bogg smiled as he rubbed his thumb on Olivia's arm. "Only because of Susan, remember her?" Olivia laughs, "Oh yeah, the one you couldn't keep you're eyes off, I remember."
Bogg smiles and his eyes light up. "Anyway she found the evidence and proved that I didn't do anything wrong, They even told us that Jeffrey's suppose to be a voyager and that it wasn't an accident that I ended up in 1982. The only bad thing is that Drake is still out there causing problems."
Olivia looks down at Bogg and gets a really sour look on her face, "You mean that creep that cheated his way through Voyagers school, Ugh I couldn't stand him, he always had a smug look on his face. It was so annoying."
Bogg sighs. "He did a lot of damage when he framed innocent voyagers." "I hope I never run into that creep."
Meanwhile Morgan yawns. "Well I'm gonna turn in, you can stay in our room if you want, there is another bed there." Jeffrey shrugs his shoulders. "I guess it would be ok, since I can't go into the room that we got."
Morgan gets up; she heads out the door to where they are staying. Jeffrey follows her and they get to the door. Morgan unlocks it and they walk in." It's nice to finally meet you Jeffrey, I heard a lot about you." Morgan locks the door. "I hope all good." Morgan smiles "Don't worry, it was all good stuff, I guess."
Jeffrey pretends to stare her down, and then smiles widely." You know, this is one of those rare times when we are staying in one place for a few days, usually we fix history and then leave." Morgan smiles. "I know what you mean."
Morgan sits on the bed closest to the bathroom, she takes off her shoes and lies down. Jeffrey does the same thing. Morgan yawns and then turns to her side facing Jeffrey. Jeffrey lies on his side and looks at Morgan. "Morgan?" "Yeah?" Jeffrey asks. "Do you think Olivia would ever stop being a voyager and find someone and settle down?"
Morgan answers back. "I'm not sure, there was a couple of times that she thought about it, but then she would get this look and she'd turn the dials on the Omni and push it and we'd be working again." Jeffrey looks into Morgan's eyes. "Bogg almost gave it up a couple of times, but I'm glad he didn't."
Morgan sighs. "I think one of the reasons I like being a voyager, even though I'm not officially one, that I don't have to worry about getting to close to anybody and just to do our job, then when we are done, we leave."
"Yeah, that's one reason I like being a voyager." Morgan smiles. "Jeffrey." "Yeah?" "I'm glad I finally met you."
Morgan closes her eyes and soon she's asleep. Jeffrey does the same and soon they are both asleep. Meanwhile Olivia and Bogg are talking." So you never thought about giving up being a Voyagers, except for that one time?" Olivia let's her headrests back on Bogg's chest. "No, not really." "I did once or twice, but then Jeffrey would convince me not to."
Olivia lifts up her head; she places her hand on Bogg's chest. "There were a few close calls with Morgan, but I don't think I'd want to give up being a voyager anytime soon."
Bogg looks up at Olivia. "We had our share of close calls, but I know how you feel about being a voyager. " Olivia yawns and she whispers. "I think it caught up to me." Bogg whispers back. " Well why don't you rest."
Bogg yawns and then pulls the blanket all the way up and tucks it in, Olivia falls asleep. Bogg tries to resist it, but he after a few minutes he falls asleep. Meanwhile a few hours later, Jeffrey wakes up to some strange noises, he rubs his eyes and looks over in the other bed, but he doesn't see Morgan in the bed.
He gets up and walks over, he leans over and peaks over and finds Morgan in the corner, her legs drawn up to her chest and she's whimpering quietly as if she's afraid of someone or something. Jeffrey isn't sure what's going on so he gently touches her shoulder. "Morgan?"
Morgan jumps and she pushes Jeffrey as hard as she can and then takes off to the other side of the room. Jeffrey gets up and goes after her, he grabs her and she starts to fight him, Morgan beats her fists on his chest. It doesn't take long when she collapses in his arms.
Jeffrey carefully picks her up and gently carries her back to the bed and lays her down. He climbs in and lies next to her on his side. Jeffrey wraps his arm around her gently as to protect her, resting his head next to hers. Jeffrey looks at Morgan sleeping, something stirs in him as he falls asleep to Morgan's steady breathing.
