A/N: I thought id try a project for this summer just to keep my mind going full steam. 1 chapter a day between every 9-17 days. This tells what happens between seasons. So here goes Enjoy.


Within 25 minutes of them leaving, the train showed up, although he wished it was like that great viral Ajira Airlines thing from Lost where he didn't know where it was going to end up. There was something to be said considering he was now about to essentially leave everything behind.

"I guess its time."

As soon as those words came out he grabbed what he could and boarded. The trip would take him a while but for him it would be just what was needed. The walk to find a comfy seat took the dark haired guy nearly took him a bit but once one was found off the train went. Within 5 minutes he got a last glimpse at what he knew and it was gone. Now there was only the way forward.

"Hmm… Now What?"

Next to him a raven haired tween had her iPhone out listening to a song that sounded very familiar but it was like a movie.

"That's not the song from that movie I got dragged to, was it?"

Within a minute he could tell what song it was and that just made his mood sour.

"Yep, its from that snoozefest Divergent."

The melody was ingrained in his head but he paid it no mind before. Now though he remembered the song and even started to hum along.

"Eyes made their peace in difficulties. "

"With wounded lips and salted cheeks."

The roads and fields were blazing by with breakneck speed. The girl even began to mumble a bit.

"…set to leave to the departure lounge of disbelief."

With one swipe of his phone to the mp3 section he quickly bought the song and slipped on earbuds. Soon he was mumbling along.

"and I don't know where I'm going but I know its gonna be a long time. "

"and I'll be leaving in the morning come the white wine bitter sunlight."

The tween then turned and noticed him, she turned off her phone and gave him the stare he never expected. He followed suit and stared at her as well.

"Can I help you?"

The guy looked up and down at his pants and then turned back to the tween and just sighed.

"No, I wish you could, because I certainly could use it."

All urge the girl had to get up and walk away to the next available empty train car vanished at his honest sincerity.

"What do you mean?"

"Lets just say I'm at a major crossroad in my life."

She got up and motioned for him to scoot over and she joined him in the seat, he was hesitant but shrugged it off and let her join him.

"So, that takes you on a train?"

"Well I like trains, I know this one is a second tier passenger non Amtrak train with service to the major west coast Rockie states and this can take me anywhere I want, so I jumped on."

"Do you have family where you're going?"

"No, all my families have changed so much I couldn't adapt so I'm off to start a new one, or at least learn to adapt and eventually return."

The girl smiled and he returned hers.

"Can I ask your name?"

"Uhh…" The guy was hesitant while the girl curled her hair.

"You know the movie Divergent right?"

"Yes, before I left I got drugged to see that by my roommates fiancé."

"Well the main character Tris got to pick a new name just as she started her new life so if you're wanting something new now would be the time to switch."

The guy took a minute before settling on it.

"Lee, my names Lee."

The girl smiled at him and pick pocketed his phone to get something off of it. She then gave it back and no less than 35 seconds later he got a text. The once over on the screen made him chuckle a bit.

"Your name is Eli Nozomi?"

Eli stared at the upbeat Lee just looking off centered. "Yes, my mom was from Vladivostok near the Korean border and she met my dad who's a technician at that nuclear plant that got wrecked in that tsunami 3 years ago."

Lee stared at the build of Eli just to make sure. "You're half Russian, half Japanese, and you're from California, why do I find that hard to believe?"

Eli laughed at his demeanor and then the conversation between them began to flow. Anything and everything that seemed interesting was brought to light. From her overuse of Russian and Japanese customs to his fondness of his personal favorite number 73, somehow what seemed like years of friendship between them managed to develop within a 3 hour span.

"Lee, what else makes you curious?"

Before he could answer the follow up, the train pulled into a stop he didn't hear where the conductor said they were but he noticed Eli getting off the train and followed her while grabbing his lone bag from the top row.

"Hey Eli, where are you going?"

"I got a place here, is this where you're getting off too?"

Lee stared at her with his mind running circles. "I'm about to do this aren't I?"

"Sir, Is this your stop, cause I'm going to have to ask you to take your seat if this isn't." The conductor behind him yelled. The phone then came on with a ringtone the very same song he and Eli were just listening too.

"Want to hear your beating heart tonight."

"Darn these fingers, did I say make that my ringtone."

"Sir, you have 10 seconds either get off or get back."

The circles and gears in his mind made those 10 seconds seem like 5 minutes of eternity.

Meanwhile back in the city of Roses known as Pasadena, the apartment of a local neurobiologist sat empty and dark, the lonely atmosphere was ever present. Huddled under a blanket was a young woman with a phone clasped to her head and only horned rimmed glasses sticking out through the sheets. One world was all she could get out.

"Sheldon….."


A/N: Yep i'm telling Sheldon's Journey, stay tuned.
