A/N: Sliders are the property of their original creators and I'm just borrowing them. Enjoy.
Sliding portal opens in the middle of Boston over a pink grass field)
(Quin, Colin, and Remme slide through on mattress)
Colin: I do not think we are in San Francisco any more
Quin: Or Vegas Bro
Remme: How long are we here anyway
Colin: Six months, twenty-nine days, twenty-two hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds. Nothing like being precise
Quin: There's got some sort of mistake that's an hour off from seven months!
Remme: I think we better get a job and start finding an apartment
(The group sees sign that says, "Welcome to Harvard University")
Remme: That sign said Harvard so that means we must be in Boston right?
Quin: Either that or they moved the whole school to the West Coast
Colin: What is so renowned about Harvard
Quin: It's rich
Remme: Well, Cue ball lets go and try to find a hotel
Quin: Yeah I'm Dead
Colin: I agree I could sleep for a week
Later That Night in a Middle Class Hotel
(Quin tosses restlessly in bed while the others sleep soundly)
Quin: Llllliiiiiizzzzzzzzzz!!! Llllliiiiiizzzzzzzzzz!!!
(He calls out painfully which wakes Colin up)
Colin: Quin wake up!
Quin: Huh
Colin: You were dreaming about Liz I thought that I should wake you up.
(Quin starts to breathe heavily)
Colin: Sorry but it's less painful for both of us this way besides she is probably figuring out a way to get back right now.
Quin: Thanks
In The Hotel Room Next Door
Liz: Thump, bang, crash, Ouch, oh shoot, Maggie
Maggie: Boom, rattle, crash, ssssss, what the, Liz you do realize that we are in the middle of some poor unfortunate person's hotel room
Maggie: Let's get out of here unless we're only here for about two minutes
Liz: Wait a minute, this has got to be wrong it says we are here for about seven months, One hour and One second off to be exact
Maggie: What!!!!!!
Liz: Shhhhhhhhhhh
Maggie: Do you think that the time travel could have effected the portal?
Liz: I don't know but I just did it by hand and the timers correct so I suggest we get out of here, rent a room and worry about it in the morning
Maggie: Yeah
Next Morning In The Guys Hotel Room
Quin: I could have sworn I heard a crash in the other room
Colin: Me too
Remme: Not me I could have slept through a train going through the middle of the room and not known it
Colin: Why don't we go get to the problem at hand; surviving
Quin: He's right
(The group walks out)
Meanwhile in The Room Next Door
Liz: Hope we didn't disturb anyone last night
Maggie: Who Cares
Liz: You know, I was thinking that maybe I should try and get a job as a substitute college professor. I saw a sign saying that they needed subs for the college desperately and that anyone with a masters could take the bar.
Maggie: That's right you have your masters in mathematics and computer engineering don't you
Liz: They open at nine you want to grab a bite to eat before we go on our job hunts
Maggie: Sure, you buy, Remme's got my walllet
Liz: Charge it to the room. If I get the job I'll start working on the tracking device.

In Sweet 121 B at the Chandler in San Francisco
(Quin who was knocked out cold starts to come to. He starts to feel around his neck)
Quin: I'm alive
Liz: Oh your finally coming to, I thought I might have to break out the smelling salts.
Quin: What happened
(He asked groggily)
Liz: When we slid you were knocked out cold. We checked into the chandler and got you a nice place to rest. I've been at your bedside ever since. That was two days ago.
Quin: Let me see the timer
(He starts to get up but is too weak)
Liz: We've got another day until we slide, there's no rush.
Quin: You mean we weren't separated by time travel accident?
Liz: No, you said it yourself, you don't believe in time travel. Would you like something to drink I was just about to order some coffee.
Quin: Beer?
Liz: Yeah right, figures
(Liz picks up phone and orders two coffees)
