David was not sure exactly how to react to this...thing that was in front of him. Either his time in Suspended animation was causing David to hallucinate objects and creatures based on memories of his youth, someone on planet earth was a physic and had managed to predict the evolutionary tree that would become the teletubby, a mad scientist kids show fanatic had way too much time on his hands. Either way he found himself stunned and in a crouched position as the bright yellow Teletubby just continued giggling and smiling at him.

'uh, Hi little...guy?"

"Noooooo." the creature said in a drawn out playful tone.

"Ok, girl then. um, What's your name?"

"laa-laa!" the creature said with a gleeful screech.

"Laa-laa?" David asked

"Laa-Laa! Laa-Laa! Laa-Laa!"

Laa-Laa as she called herself proceeded to sing her name in a loud voice over and over again practically skipping and dancing around as she did so. David didn't know why but he couldn't help but chuckle slighty. He had lived in a war torn wastelands of Arizona for most of his life...and to see something so playful so...carefree. It softened him a little.

Still it seemed odd. David couldn't help but wonder if this Laa-laa was in fact the very Laa-laa from the TV show, but that couldn't have been right. By all accounts that show was thousands of years old at this point.

really though those questions weren't exactly high priority at this point and as it was, David found himself too distracted by Laa-Laa's energy.

"Well you're a playful little thing aren't you?"

Laa-laa proceeded to bob her head up and down as if confirming his statement, but then suddenly she stopped and began waving her hand behind her.

"Frowlo Bee!" She squealed

"Frowlo Bee?" David asked.

"Frowlo Bee!" she squealed again.

David bit his lip as he tried to comprehend what exactly she was trying to tell him

"Frowlo...Bee...Frow...Wait...Fo...Follow...Follow Bee...Follow ME...Wait you want me to follow you?"

Laa-Laa began to bob her head and jump excitingly shouting one last "Frowlo Bee!" before running toward the open Meadow. David followed in pursuit despite Laa-Laa's frankly large Stature, she moved inhumanly fast. in fact, it looked almost looking as if she were somehow running in fast forward.

"Ok, I'm following I'm following. Slow Down Jeez."

As he Ran in an effort to keep up with Laa-Laa, a question came to his mind. Just what in the heck was he doing? Here he was in the middle of a strange world in a strange point of earths history, No human civilization in sight possibly, if not probably the last human on earth and rather than surviving being his primary concern above all else, he's instead chasing an alien creature through a vast meadow to an unknown location. Was he Insane? Yes, Probably so.

After what seemed like a good hour or so walk Laa-Laa had finally managed to stop. David couldn't help but pant. He had been conditioned to be able to take long time consuming hikes without a need for a lot of food or rest, but this sprint to wherever Laa-laa was trying to take him seemed to have pushed him to his limit. Either his time in suspension caused him to atrophy more than he originally thought, or Laa-Laa was just that fast.

"Alright...Pant...you little roadrunner...pant pant...just where...are you taking me?"

Laa-Laa pointed to a dome like structure before clapping her hands err, flippers excitedly.

"What the Strange new person hadn't quite realized was that Laa-Laa wanted him to meet her other friends."

David jumped as the loud booming voice broke through the air.

"What the...?'

'Teletubbies love making new friends."

David looked at Laa-Laa who didn't seem to notice the strange disembodied voice.

"You hear that too right?"

Laa-Laa seemed to have just shrugged it off and continued pointing back at the dome building. David found his interest peaked once he saw the structure. Oddly enough it looked like one of those hobbit holes that Tolkien so carefully described in his Lord of the Rings books.

"Did The Institute ship me to New Zealand while I was under stasis? Last he remembered, he was transferred from Dayton Tennessee to an institute bunker deep in the fields of Scotland. That being said, it wouldn't be impossible to transport the pods from one base to another so long as the internal backup systems were running...and unless he was having a near death hallucination, something must have been working on account of the fact that he was alive and well.

"Come here!" Laa-Laa shouted.

David followed the creature inside. The door opened with a loud hiss. David's eyes couldn't help but widen, This was an Institute building, the layout was the same as the base had had been a part of back in the states. This must have been the main base his stasis chamber was assigned to. Just how Laa-Laa managed to stumble across was anyone's guess.

David began to look at the facility with wide eyed wonder, it wasn't that this was new to him. He had been in an Institute facility several times before throughout his career. It was the fact that this thing had managed to stay in near perfect condition after 5000 years that was so fascinating to him. A low bubbling noise suddenly echoed throughout the room. David turned around to see a large metal tube like pipe rise from ground. A female voice suddenly began to shout.

"Roll call. roll call roll call roll call"

The Walls suddenly began to rumble and vibrate, as if something was going down some kind of slide. In truth, this wasn't far off. Just as the disembodied voice foretold, Laa-Laa did indeed have a few friends she wanted to introduce David to.

"TINKY-WINKY!"

"DISPY!"

"POE!"

David jumped backwards as each of the tubby's landed on their feet. It took a minute for David to realize these weren't just creatures that strongly resembled the characters from the TV show. These were in fact the main four from the show itself.

"Mother pearl, fire on the poopdeck." David mumbled to himself. All sorts of questions Eurpted from the marine's mind and absolutely Zero of them had answers.

Was the teletubby show not a show but in fact a glimpse into the far distant future? If it was then how did images of the future end up being shown in the past. How was PBS able to make a TV show out of it? Did anyone know the true nature of this so called show? Did anyone ever realize this was in fact not just a kid show but in fact a nature documentary that dealt with a very familiar yet completely alien evolutionary chain of life.

The questions were many indeed.
