Chapter 1: But I Thought It Would Be Fun

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Babylon 5, who don't show up in this chapter, but will show up soon, I promise. I do own the character of Jaci and the man who gives her a strange look, who will never show up again in this story. I also own the disembodied voice, which you find out more about later.

Authors note: As you may have noticed, I have edited the story a bit. The plot hasn't really changed at all. The only thing that has, really, is that pesky disembodied voice. To tell you the truth, it wasn't supposed to be in the story at all, but then it popped in and refused to leave. Since Jaci is not the only one who can hear it, I knew that it wasn't her inner voice, so I decided to say it was the narrator. The tricky little thing kept its true identity from me until recently. Therefore I have edited. Hope you like how it's going.

"I really need to get out of here, " Jaci said to herself. "This is crazy. So much for the informative tour I was hoping for." A man standing near her gave her a strange look. "I really need to stop talking to myself. Dang, there I go again."

She stopped to stare at a picture. What building was she in anyways? She couldn't remember anymore. Jaci had thought she would enjoy this tour, the name of which she could no longer remember due to the pounding in her head. Sure, science wasn't her strong point, but she liked space, as in outer space, and she liked looking at the stars. So when this tour came to her attention, it seemed like she'd enjoy it. Apparently, when they said they would spend a brief time on the outer space part, they weren't kidding. It had been very brief. Jaci snapped back into the present when she noticed something strange-- it was all quiet. She turned from the picture. Oops. She'd lost her tour group. That was okay though, they were probably right through that door. Only that door was locked. Umm, okay, she'd go back the way she came, and hope that she could find someone who could help her. She turned around and came to an abrupt halt after only one step. Two doors.

Jaci stood and studied the two doors for a few moments. Which one had they come through? Or had there been two doors for them to pass through? She couldn't remember if the last room had two doors leading from it. "Well, it was probably the door that was on the same side of the room as me, right?" Jaci unknowingly spoke aloud.

Just because it makes logical sense, doesn't mean it's the right door, a feminine voice whispered in her ear. Jaci whipped her head around, wondering if there was another person there that she had somehow missed seeing. She thought she saw a pink glow out of the corner of her eye, but as she turned around in a circle, she saw nothing out of the ordinary.

'Great, I'm hearing voices now, and seeing things,' Jaci thought.

The door you least suspect is the one you should try. Jaci decided to argue with the voice, out loud. She was sure that man in the tour group already thought she was a fruit loop, so why not?

"But if I suspect one door, you're telling me I should suspect the other. Then I have to start suspecting the other door again, and then I have to switch suspicions again and then…."

Stop.

"What?"

Stop.

"Stop what?"

Stop making this so complicated.

"So which door should I pick?"

The door you least suspected at first.

"Okay." Jaci walked over to the door on the other side of the room. "This better lead to a way out of this place."

It leads to where you need to go.

Jaci paused with her hand on the door knob. "That's just cryptic enough to make me nervous."

Just open the door.

"Here goes nothing," Jaci muttered. "I can always come back and take the other door if it's not the right one, right?"

Hee hee hee.

"Great, a disembodied voice is giggling. I am so comforted."

TBC…..Babylon 5 is coming, I promise. Sorry for the insanity, by the way. I can't help myself. Please review.
