Kat grumbled under her breath as she poked the stake on her plate with a fork. Just as she had been doing for the past ten minutes as Boom shoveled his food into his mouth. Every once in a while she would sense his eyes on her, but she ignored him. She knew that the poor guy probably thought she was mad at him, and who was she to lie, she was a bit irked. After all, it was his fault that she was in Cruger's dog house.

Yet, surprisingly, it wasn't Boom that captivated the majority of her mind. It was the Professor who decided to create a wall in her path not an hour earlier. There was something so familiar about him, yet she couldn't place her finger on it.

"Kat?" The sound of Boom's voice drew her out of her reverie.

"Yes." She managed.

"Are you okay?" The question took her aback. She was so ready for him to ask her if she was mad at him that the quick answer she had prepared was obsolete. Instead she shrugged, because, to tell the truth, she didn't know herself.

"Do you believe in déjà vu?" She asked.

Boom seemed startled by her question. "Well," he started uneasily. "Anything is possible. Why do you ask?"

Kat shook her head. "There's something strange about that new professor."

"What do you mean?" Boom asked. "He seemed fine to me. Maybe a little withdrawn, but since I never met him how am I to know that he isn't always like that."

Kat blinked. "I don't know. It just seems like he should be happier or something." She pushed her plate to the side and leaned on her elbows. "He smiled earlier and I had the feeling it was the first time in a long time."

"Oh," Boom said as he shoveled another spoon full of food into his mouth. "But what does all this have to do with déjà vu?"

She bit her lip as she tried to place a memory and then shook her head again. "This may sound weird, but when he smiled, it was almost like I remembered him happy, goofy even."

"You're right. That does sound weird." Boom said with a nod. "Cause the man I saw was all stern and proper. Like a human Birdie Fowler."

Kat grumbled under her breath about overgrown, domineering birds and enticed a laugh of agreement out of Boom. Smiling, she leaned her cheek on her hand and vowed to herself that she was going to get behind the mystery of one Greg Sanders.

Bridge Carson stared straight forward at the scene unfolding before him. Today's lunch period, started just the same as any other day since Jack left. Sydney sat by the window listening to her music while he sat and watched Sky and Z squabble over a game of Bullhonkey Scrabble. Why they chose this as a past time, he hadn't the slightest idea, but it was fun to watch.

"Bullhonkey, Sky, zebu is not a word." Z was saying.

"The heck it isn't, Miss. High and Mighty. I'll have you know that zebu is definitely a word." Sky shot back.

Bridge felt Sydney's hair fall over his shoulder. "They aren't playing Bullhonkey Scrabble again, are they? What's going on?" She whispered.

"Amusement." Bridge said.

"I bet you it's not." Z said with a smirk hinting at her lips.

Bridge broke out into an all out grin. "And it just got better."

"I'll take that bet. Whoever loses has to kiss a higher ranking officer." Sky replied.

Sydney and Bridge stared on in disbelief. "You guys are going to get yourselves into so much trouble." Syd chided.

Z bit her lip as if to think it through. "It's a deal. Syd, can you go look up the 'word' zebu?"

"Sure thing." She said and grabbed the dictionary and sat down next to Bridge. "Here it is! It's a domesticated ox found in Asia and parts of Africa."

Z groaned clearly miffed that she had been had by her fellow ranger. A ranger that was currently busying himself with laughing at her. "Okay fine," She grumbled before launching herself at an extremely shocked Sky and kissing him soundly on the lips.

Kat approached the B Squad common room with caution. She could distinctly hear the peals of laughter coming from within. She Shook her head. It still amazed her how grown human adults could sometimes act like teenagers. Sighing she walked inside and found Sky and Z in a tangled heap on the floor each blushing to a color that matched Sky's uniform.

"What's going on here?" She asked before thinking better of it. "You know what. I'm not ready to know." She said as she raised her hands in mock surrender. "Bridge, can I speak with you?" She asked gesturing out the door.

Bridge shared a glance with Syd and nodded. Once outside, Kat put a hand on his shoulder. "I need you to do a favor for me."

"Sure Kat, what's up?" He asked.

"Well, you know already that we were going to be getting a new professor, but when you meet him, I would like you to check him out for me. There's something strange about him, I just can't put my finger on it."

Bridge stared at her in disbelief. "You want me to read his aura?"

"Yes." Kat said with a nod. "I just want to make sure all is right with him."

"Okay," Bridge said. "But would you mind my asking why you would think that something is amiss?"

Kat bristled, but she knew that he would ask that. He wasn't a Ranger for nothing. "Sure, why don't we take a walk and I'll tell you what I think about him.
