Chapter 2

2030

Zenon starred at the doctor like he had lost his mind. She could not believe this was not happening. Either her friends were pulling the biggest practical joke in history, or that machine some how brought her back in time. Zenon fell back against the nice feather pillow behind her. She really wished they had those on the space station; they were very comfortable however, they took up unnecessary room. Afraid that the Doctor might think she was nut's she changed the topic.

"So you brought me here, umm...I guess all that twenty forty-five thing must have been a dream, I have always loved space." She said with a fake smile.

"I love dreams, maybe one day you really can go up on the space station, when it's finished of course." The doctor stated with a smile.

"Yeah, that would be...yeah." Suddenly Zenon was very aware of her language. 'Earth dose not live in space yet, no one talks like I do.' She was so deep in thought that she almost missed the doctor's next question.

"So Zenon, where are your parent's?"

"Oh there on...I, I don't know." 'What do I say?' she screamed in her head. "I have not seen them in along time. I don't really remember what happened, just that one day I was by myself."

"How long ago was that?" The doctor asked.

'Zedus Lapedus, will he stop with the questions major?' "A year or two ago, I don't really remember what happened. I'm sorry."

"Hey, that's okay!" Zenon started to fake cry to add to the effect.

"Excuse me?" The Commander asked.

"Okay, let's start over here. Hi, my name is Doctor Zenon Carr, your new Astrophysicist." 'Ge-wiz, this is really awkward, maybe I should have made up another name, no, I have to use my real name or this won't work.' She thought.

"Zenon...Carr, is this some kind of joke?"

"No, I will explain later, first I need you to get my parent's in your office ASAP, tell them to bring the machine."

"Excuse me?"

"You herd me, I will meet yawl in your office, come on we have a lot to do." The commander just stood there dumb-founded. Zenon smiled and turned him around; she walked him out of the bay and pointed towards the direction of the science labs. He finally started walking on his own, and Zenon headed back to the bay to grab her bags.
