Hey all! Only two chapters left after this one! Btw: the old man is a character I created for my 'lemon story' in drama class so if he seems a bit…off, that's why. If you don't know what I'm talking about, we had to do a writing exercise based on a guided meditation about a lemon…don't ask.

'I sort of hope this guy has a way for us to get home. I'd love to stay here, but if I can't, well, there is one thing that I'd like to do that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise. After all, it would be an insult to Harper lovers everywhere if I didn't…" Sam's thoughts were cut off by Rommie.

"He's inside this building."

The crew-2 (Trance and Tyr were still on the Andromeda)+3 entered an old rundown building that looked like it may have been beautiful long ago.

Inside, there were four stone pillars, each about 3 ft tall surrounding a small fire in the center of the room (picture the element room thingy at the end of the Fifth Element, only with a fire in the middle instead of Leeloo). As the group looked around and took in their surroundings, the mysterious man in the black cloak walked in from an adjacent room.

"Ah yes, I was wondering when you'd be arriving."

"What is this place?" Asked Kristina in awe (A/N: although I still can't figure out why she was in awe at the time…it wasn't that amazing…uh…did I say was? Hehe…I meant would have been, if it was real…which it wasn't. hehehe)

"This is the temple. It is a sacred place. Years ago, there was peace. It was because of one man, Dylan Hunt who fought to make the universe a better place."

"Hey, what can I say? I'm just your average hero after all."

After receiving a threatening glare from Beka, Dylan apologized and let the old man continue.

"Uh, maybe it would be best if we continued this discussion in private…yes, yes, that would be best. Come along." He led the trio into the room that he had entered from earlier. It was a small room, empty almost, except for a bed and a few books scattered around. The old man quickly went back into his explanation.

"Where was I? Oh yes, as I was saying all the races were united, and there was peace. But that only lasted for about a decade. Then something happened and it all went south. From the first moment when everything began to fall apart, we realized that we did not want to loose everything. One of the more advanced races showed us how to create a portal of sorts that would allow us to travel through time. We figured that if we intervened by bringing in outside assistance, we might be able to change things." He turned to stare at the 'outside assistance' as he spoke the last line.

"What difference could we make?" asked Sarah.

"Oh, believe me, you could make a big difference."

Then Sam asked the question that was on everyone's minds, "But off all the people you could have chosen, why us?"

"Well, we knew it would be best to have someone who had knowledge of the ship, crew, baddies, stuff like that. So we first figured we should spread the knowledge and the only way we could do that would be to have one of our people who was already on your planet in a time a bit before yours (A/N: now whoever could that be?) create a tv show based on this reality. Then we searched for people who watched the show, and the first ones we found were you. It was really just luck that you were chosen."

"But why me?" asked Sarah, "I mean, I had never even heard of the show 'Andromeda' before this."

"Well, when we found your friends, you were there as well and we figured that we might as well bring all three of you. Apparently, we should not have brought you here without a choice. You were unprepared for all of this and it was our fault. We can return you now if you wish."

"We do." Said Kristina, speaking for all of them.

well what did ya think??? If your wondering what Sami wanted to do at the beginning of the story…well, you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out. Anyway…its almost 2:30 am and I'm really pissed off cause my friends and I went to see 'Our Town' on Broadway and we didn't get back until 12 and my dad decided not to tape stargate or farscape for me, so I missed the beginning of farscape and all of stargate and I'm really mad. And my friend is going on exchange to Canada for 3 weeks and she leaves tomorrow! …and I'm really tired so I think I'm going to go to sleep soon…just as soon as I write a little more of another fic that I'm working on. I decided I'd write the whole thing before I posted it this time so it'll only be a few days between chapters [I've got to keep people in suspense; )] btw…it's an x-over between Andromeda and fk but since so far it's more fk, I think I may post it there instead of Andromeda (hint, hint). Adios!
