Los Angeles, 1980
"So...we're in the here and now for two completely different
things that have nothing to do with each other?"
"Near as my people can tell, yeah."
They sat in the UCLA cafeteria, looking like just two more
ordinary college students. More so than most in this world,
their appearances was decieving.
"That's a relief. I'd hate to get into the fight with you, Doctor
Beckett."
"You've heard about me, I take it."
"Oh yeah. You're quite famous when I'm from, Doctor."
"Call me Sam."
"Uh, okay, Sam."
"So, if you don't mind telling me, what's your mission?"
"Mission?"
"Oh, y'know, your purpose. Raison d'etre. That sort of thing.
I've met a few other Leapers. People like us, we don't just time
travel for the heck of it. We usually have some overriding
motivation...why are you looking at me like that?"
"You mean it's true?"
"True?"
"You really do that whole altruism thing about righting what once
went wrong, Sam?"
"I take it you don't. So, what do you do? Wronging what once went
right?"
"Hardly anything so grandiose. I just want to get laid."
"Uh...huh?"
"Look, Sam, I'm from way farther forward than you are. I leap in
time because of an accident. I didn't choose this life, but I
decided to enjoy it as much as possible."
"By what? Sleeping with other people's wives and girlfriends
after leaping into their husbands and boyfriends and then
leaping out?"
"You're quick, Sam."
"That's disgusting!"
"Never had any complaints so far."
Before Sam could say anything, the two were joined by a pretty
blonde. She sat herself next to Sam's companion and kissed him
in greeting.
"Hi, Hank, last night was wonderful!" she said. "Who's you
friend?"
"Joyce, this is Sam. Sam, my fiance, Joyce."
"Fiance?" Sam choked out.
Whatever "Hank" might have said in reply was interupted when he
was suddenly enveloped in blue-white light.

"Do you Alexander Harris, take this woman Anyanka as your
lawfully wedded wife?"
Only one guest saw the blue-white light that enveloped Xander and
replace him with...someone else. He kept his silence. Although he
didn't work for them, D'hoffryn respected the Powers That Be.
Their sense of humor was worse than his.
