Chapter one: Hey! Wait...I'm confused.
Connor had had enough, today had to of been the worst day he had ever had in the ARC. He sat on the cot he had in his lab as he pulled off his runners and sighed as he reflected on the day that had come to pass.
His day had started to fall apart from the moment he had opened his eyes, exactly 2 hours late for work, he cursed the addictive video game to the pits of hell as he quickly rolled out of bed and dressed. As he had hoped his day got no better when Lester shouted at him from his large office, Connor cringed as he made his way up the ramp, Lester lectured him for a half hour and finished by, what exactly had he promised, to push Connor through the next anomaly that occurred if Sid and Nancy ate another one of his important documents.
Lunch had been no better, Connor rolled onto his side as he remembered being in a rush to get back to Cutter in the lab to help with the anomaly time line, that he just happened to bang into Abby and spill his lunch on her. He instantly regretted getting the Spaghetti, stuttering and mumbling didn't seem to be making her any less angry, so he ran for his life, with his tail between his legs.
Connor just didn't understand how his day could of gotten ANY worse then what it already was, but of course why would anything go the way he planned it. Life just wasn't that fair. Cutter had no need for Connor as Sarah had shown p with new information for him to double check, Connor took this time to go to his lab and work on his closing device for the anomalies, this is when life started to take the piss. Connor was sure he had sorted out the little problems he had been having with his device, he only had a few more wires to fix then he was sorted...
Connor opened his eyes with Danny standing over him looking worried, he asked Connor if he was alright and pointed out that Nancy and Sid had taken a fancy to the shiny device to use as a chew toy, Connor saw the damage to the underside of the device, which caused his electrocution, he sighed as he stood, feeling a little off as he tried to remove the fuzzy feeling from his tongue. Danny clapped him on the back and left him to his business, chuckling as he walked out of the lab.
This is why Connor had decided to hide away in his lab for the night, even though he wouldn't admit it, he was scared to go home and face Abby's wrath about her new t-shit, plus he was sure if he spent the night in his lab he would be on time for work instead of being inclined to play video games at home.
Connor rolled onto his back once more and set an alarm on his phone, hopefully tomorrow would be better.
Connor found himself too comfortable when he woke, he must of been tireder then he thought if he was finding his cot comfortable, rolling over he opened his eyes, he was in his room at home.
This is wrong he thought to himself as he hopped out of bed, How did i get here? I could of sworn i stayed in the ARC last night.
Connor told himself that he had imagined staying in the ARC as he looked at the clock, his chocolate eyes bulged as he saw the time,
WHAT? How can this be? There is no way I'd sleep in 2 hours late 2 days in a row.
Connor dressed quickly as he ran from his bedroom, Abby had left early again, "Obviously still mad enough to let me sleep in." he grumbled as he sped from the apartment hoping that no one had noticed his delay.
"SCRAPPY! GET IN HERE" Connor cursed as he once again walked up the ramp to Lester's office, he couldn't believe this was happening to him two days in a row.
Is he wearing the same suit? Connor wondered as he took in Lester's appearance, he was pretty sure he was.
"Connor I have told you, I don't know how many times, to get your scrawny arse into work on time, I find it impossible to think that Abby can make it in early when you two live together, Your meant to be a genius, How can you find it hard to set an alarm clock..."
Connor was sure that he had heard this lecture before, he felt as though he was back in high school listening to his teachers rant on and on about cells and what not. Lester banged his desk and Connor jumped at the sudden noise,
"now get back to work, or at least start some" Lester spat as Connor stood to leave his office, "And Connor" Lester grumbled " if one of those prehistoric RATS eats another one of my files, I'll push you through the next anomaly that comes our way" Lester finished by slamming his door in Connor's face.
Yep, Connor said to himself, defiantly heard THAT one before, Connor fixed his hat as he descended the ramp and ran into Abby. He readied himself for the verbal assault he was bound to receive, when he noticed her shirt.
"Oh you really got that sauce stain out Abby" he said as he looked at her t-shirt.
"What are you talking about Connor? I just bought this shirt yesterday"
"But" he seemed lost for words, she looked up at him waiting for him continue his sentence,"But you wore it yesterday and I, by mistake might I add, got spaghetti sauce all over it" he flinched as she pulled at her top, thinking she was going to hit him, she looked up at him once more, with confusion in her blue eyes.
"Connor, I just bought this top yesterday, I'm wearing it for the first time" she shook her head as she continued her way up the ramp, mumbling to herself.
Connor was so confused, what the hell was gong on, were people trying to make fun of him, was it some sort of practical joke? Well he could be certain, his head was already starting to hurt.
"Connor why have you dragged me to see your device when you its in the same state it was yesterday, you were meant to fix it today and show it to me" Connor was confused by Cutter, and even more confused by the fact that his device had not been complected, even though he had worked on it yesterday, even his notes and been rubbed off the clear-board behind him.
"Em, sorry Cutter, must of made a mistake, thought i'd finished it" he mumbled as Cutter left the room with Sarah. Connor looked over the device, he knew exactly what had to be fixed, he was almost sure he had done this before. Why do I have such bad De ja vu... he wondered to himself as he felt a familiar pain shoot through his arm.
He opened his eyes to see Danny, "Connor mate, ar.."
"Yeah, yeah fine, happened yesterday too, think I would of learnt from my mistake" Danny looked at Connor quizzically,
"But Connor, we were on assignment all day yesterday, don't you remember? Heard of Corythosaurus in the middle of a music festival?"
Connor blinked, Of course he remembered that, dealing with drunk teenagers for the whole day had been a nightmare, but it had been 2 days ago, not yesterday.
Connor nodded as Danny helped him up, and he felt the familiar fuzzy taste on his tongue, was he loosing his mind?
Danny looked at him once more and chuckled as he left the lab, closing the door behind him. Connor sat on the cot in the corner, Why am I a day ahead of everyone? Let me see, I'm sure I have done everything I did today yesterday, or did I? Well I know for sure, I'm staying here tonight to get an early start on tomorrow.
Connor made sure to set his alarm as he turned off the light in the lab.
As he woke the next morning, something felt off, wait... he hopped up and looked around, he was back in his bedroom in the apartment, the clock read the same time it had for the past 2 mornings,
Oh give me a fucking break...
Sorry its a bit short, I'm just trying to set up for the next chapter when all the fun can begin, Connor will find himself letting loose, please review, let me know what needs work.
Thanks.
