Chapter One: The Beginning
I woke up to see I was in a hospital like room. I looked around and it looked advanced. I started to feel myself panic and I saw I was wired up to some tubes. I took them off and I walked out. I saw I was in a different patient's outfit. I looked around and saw some nurses and doctors talking.
"Hey! You!" I heard. I turned around and I saw a woman walking towards me. I looked at her confused and she walked over to me.
"What are you doing out of bed?" She asked me. I looked around before pointing at me.
"Me?" I asked her.
"Yes you."
"What's going on? Where am I?" I asked her.
"At Starfleet's-"
"Time out. Starfleet? What's Starfleet?" I asked crossing my arms. I felt kinda sleepy since I just woke up in an unfamiliar room.
"The space program here in San Francisco," She told me.
"What happened to NASA?" I asked.
"Look, let me explain back in your room," She told me.
"No. I don't know who you are, where I am, and what's going on?" I yelled at her.
"Just come with me and I'll explain everything," She said.
"Fine."
We walked back to the room and she looked at me.
"Tell me what you remember," She told me.
"Well, I just went to bed, next thing I knew, I wake up here," I told her.
"Well according to your test results, you're blood is over two hundred years old. So, you're telling the truth. We contacted Admirals Pike and Marcus to talk to you," She told me.
"Thank you?"
"What year are you from?"
"2013."
"What's it like during that time?"
"It's alright. I mean, there's chaos but it's still pretty fine," I told her.
"I see."
I saw two men walk into the room and I looked up at both of them. I smiled and they looked at me carefully, as if they were studying me.
"What's your name kid?" One of them asked me.
"My name is Lydia Oswald and I am not a kid," I said crossing my hands.
"How old are you then?" The other chuckled at me.
"I'm fourteen," I told them.
"Well, Lydia, I'm Admiral Christopher Pike," The one who chuckled at me said.
"And I'm Admiral Alexander Marcus," The other one said.
"Hi," I smiled.
"We're going to sign her out already. She seems to be doing just fine," Admiral Pike said.
"Alright."
I jumped off the bed and I looked at my clothes.
"Is there anything I could change into?" I asked.
"We have the clothes you wore when we found you," The lady said.
"I'll stick to that," I told them.
"Alright. It's in the drawer right there," She said. I grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom. I quickly changed into my Forever 21 coffee pajamas and I walked out.
"We'll give you some new clothes later," Admiral Pike said.
"Thank you," I smiled.
We walked out of the hospital and I saw that everything looked new and way advanced. I stared in awe and I saw so many different people walk by me. I looked and saw a beautiful fountain nearby.
"Lydia!" I turned to look back at the Admirals and they were watching me.
"This way," Admiral Marcus told me. I walked back towards them and we got inside a car.
As the car drove off, I looked around at San Francisco and it didn't look like the San Francisco I knew. The San Francisco I knew was more colorful and it was less advanced. Once we got to where we needed to go, Admiral Marcus spoke.
"Let's discuss in my office," He told us.
"That sounds fine," Admiral Pike said.
"Okay."
We got down and walked to his office. I stared at everything and we went to his office. Admiral Marcus' office was cleaned and organized.
"Have a seat."
I sat down on a chair and I looked at them. They were still studying me and I frowned.
"What?" I asked them.
"Are you a time traveler?" Admiral Marcus asked me.
"Me? A time traveler? Even if I was, I would've spent my time in the 80's and 50's," I told them.
"What was it like in that time?" Admiral Pike asked me.
"Stupid," I said blankly. That made both of them chuckle.
"Do you have any questions for us?"
"What happened to NASA?" I asked them.
"When Starfleet was formed, it became more successful and NASA is hardly in the picture now."
"Huh. That sucks."
"Ms. Oswald-"
"Lydia. Just call me Lydia if you don't mind," I said. I hated when someone acted formally on me. It didn't feel right. It just made me feel all weird and old.
"Lydia, since you are from the past, you need to be protected here at all costs. If you die now, then something will alternate the future," Admiral Marcus said.
"Really? Huh," I said. I leaned back a bit and I looked at them.
"So, do you guys go up in space?" I asked.
"Yes. Would you like to go someday?"
"Yes! It's been my dream to go up there!"
"Let me call up my daughter and we'll get you some more comfortable clothing," Admiral Marcus said.
"Thanks. But you don't have to spend money on me," I told them.
"Nonsense. You're our guest of honor here."
"Alright."
After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. I turned around and they opened the door. I saw a pretty girl with short blonde hair walk in.
"Hello dad," She smiled.
"Carol, I want you to meet Lydia Oswald," Admiral Marcus said standing up to greet his daughter.
"Hello," I said standing up.
"Hi."
"I need you to take her shopping. I'll pay you back," Admiral Marcus said.
"Alright."
"Please keep an extra eye on her," Admiral Marcus said.
"Alright. You ready?" Carol asked kindly.
"Yeah. Let's go," I smiled.
We both walked out and she called for a car. We got in and I smiled at her.
"So, why did my father want me to take you shopping? I mean I understand but, don't you have clothes from home? I'm sorry if that came out wrong."
"It's fine. It's just uh, I woke up from the hospital and I'm not really from this time," I told her.
"From this time?" Carol asked confused.
"I'm from 2013."
"You are? Are you a time traveler?" She asked me.
"I don't know. I woke up and I was here," I told her.
"Well, let's get you more appropriate for this time," She said. I smiled at her and we went to the mall.
A/N: I started to watch the Star Trek reboot movies maybe like two years ago? And guess who got me to start watching it. Anton Yelchin. So here is a Star Trek fanfic as a tribute to him.
