Chapter 4
2035
Zenon could not believe how long this mission was taking. The Space station was almost finished and she only had a BA in Astrophysics. She needed her doctor's to get on the shuttle, not to mention experience. At this rate, she was not going to get on the station before she was transported back in time. 'Study Zenon, you are not going to get anywhere if you fail this class.' Zenon thought to herself as she looked back down at her textbook on her small computer. She rolled her eyes, 'yeah right, I have way too much on my mind to study right now. I love school, what if I don't want to change what happened? I will have to re-live everything all over again. My adapted parents will have never have gotten someone to help out. Everything I am learning right now I will have to re-learn later. What if I don't discover my love for Astrophysics? What if I go into something I hate, and...shoot! Zedus Lapedus, I really need to study! Okay, I need to counter these thoughts if I am going to get through the night. Heck if I am going to get through this term. Okay, some other foster kid will get the chance to have great parents like the Holmes. Sure I might find something else to do, but knowing me, I would not go into anything I don't like. I will be living in space how could I miss a field like Astrophysics?'

"It's really you? I want proof!" Miss Carr burst out. Zenon smiled, she new they would want proof.
"Sure, I could give you my history up until I went back in time, but for your scientific mind's you would want something a little more concrete. So how about a blood test? Compare DNA, with me now and me in the past. I know for a fact you have my records here, because I remember you taking my blood once every other month, to make sure all systems were go, as the doctor used to say."
"Still do, actually." Doctor Abigail Smith walked in to the room." Zenon looked up at her from her seat. 'How did she know to come in?' Zenon asked her self. Seeing the question in her eyes, the Doctor Smith answered her. "I heard we have a new crew member on board, it's my job to do tests on all members on this ship. My name is Dr. Smith, but everyone call's me Abby, and you are?"
"Zenon Carr, don't ask I will explain." Abby looked at Zenon strangely. "Abby, mom and dad here accidentally sent me back to the year 2030. It's taken me this long to get up enough credentials to get up here, I need you to take my blood, something you have to do anyways, and compare my DNA to the Zenon Carr you already have on record to prove what I am saying is real." Abby just stood there with her mouth hanging open. After a couple of minutes of silence, Abby shut her mouth and stood up straighter.
"Umm, okay I can do that, why don't we go to medical quarters." Zenon nodded and stood up. Everyone else quickly followed Abby and Zenon out the door. The trip to medical quarters was a quick one as it was only a few halls down from the commanders' office. Zenon sat on a bed and rolled up the sleeve of her right arm. The doctor quickly placed a blood tape on the inside of her arm, which would draw blood with no pain, and would leave no marks. Taking the tape off Zenons arm she placed it in a computer, its only job was to analyze blood.
