So, my first TSCC fic. This is has been sitting on my computer for probably a month now - ever since Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point aired. I never uploaded it because I've been busy, but hey, it's finally uploaded.

I'd love for you to tell me what you think of this little story. And if you could think of a better title than "Untitled," please let me know.


John glanced at the clock on the computer screen. 3:00 AM. He had been poring over the hard drives that his mother and Derek had stolen for the past two hours, and he thought he had finally found something.

Dakara needed startup money? Well, Sarah needed to talk to them. This could work out to her advantage. But, he surmised, she'd need a different name.

Deciding to take a break, he got up from the table and wandered around the house, mulling over what alias he could give to his mother. He stopped walking and looked up, seeing that he was standing in front of the bookcase in the living room. It was then that he realized that he never actually had taken the time to browse through its shelves during the entire time they had been staying in the house. He moved his hand across the books, subconsciously stopping on one in particular. He pulled it out.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. John let out a small laugh as he looked at the inspiration for his... current name. He opened the book, letting his eyes roam over the familiar text, remembering when his mother would read it to him Spanish over and over. He suddenly closed the book, and replaced it on the shelf. He knew a name he could use.

As he set to work creating Sarah Gale, John thought about everything that had brought him to that exact moment. Every choice, action, movement, thought that had led up to that point in time.

Sometimes, John wished he could be just like Dorothy Gale - he could go wherever he wished, away from all this.
